Episode 148. Previous (3)
The war is over.
Lorraine’s neck was immediately enclosed in a completely vacuum sealed barrier.
You’ll have to show the emperor about his neck.
And the suppression force went around the four castles all day, held a triumphal ceremony, and changed the flags.
There were no terrorist attacks or assassination attempts in the process.
Apparently, Lorraine had warned him not to retaliate.
All prisoners held in captivity were released after a brief, practically only formal examination.
Because it was close to impossible to put so many bastards in one place in the first place and put them to sleep or feed them…
“Are you leaving?”
“okay.”
As I was packing my things, Pellin was standing in front of the door.
In fact, he wasn’t leaving, he was running away.
There will be a flood of post-war issues in the future, but as long as I stay here, I feel like I’m going to take on all the responsibility…
I had to get out of there in a hurry, using the fact that I was just a volunteer.
During wartime, he wields power as an unskilled person placed above the head of the commander-in-chief, and takes no responsibility at all.
When I said this, it sounded very boring.
“I think the Holy Knights should be stationed for a little longer. Perhaps they will be in charge of maintaining the security until the order to disband the suppression force is issued…”
“I’ll have to work a little harder.”
“No. Thanks to you, we have achieved a miraculous victory. So much has happened in the past week that when I wake up, everything seems like a dream.”
“It’s not a dream. I can tell you that clearly.”
“What happened in the bathroom that day… wasn’t it a dream?”
“············”.
squeak.
I could feel the pressure coming from behind, and there was a rattling sound of my armor.
Pelline was hugging my waist tightly.
As I turned around in that state, I was able to face Pellain, who was holding close to me and looking up at me.
Soon she closed her eyes as if she was used to it and put her head on me.
“Uhhhh…
Whoops. Shh.
As I swept my shaggy hair over, a pleasant moan escaped.
I felt like I was about to burst into laughter at the sound of warm laughter from time to time.
Big, trembling ears.
I liked the feeling of it flapping and hitting my hand.
How would you feel if you had a pet?
“Yeah. It wasn’t a dream either. You can rely on me at any time. Because I’m always by your side.”
It was something I would never say to another guy.
No matter how many times it breaks, she orders herself to get up, and I would never have comforted her.
But if it’s a Pella, I’m convinced that it’s okay to say something like this if I know that she has stronger mental power than anyone else.
I know that Pellin is a guy who buries his face for a while and then gets up on his own after crying even if he lends his shoulder, not a guy with a weak will that keeps leaning on his shoulder.
At least for Pellin in this world, it would be okay if there was someone to rely on.
Tackle…!
“Uhhhh!”
Then there was the sound of footsteps coming from the door.
It seems that someone peeped and ran away…
When I came to my senses, I saw that Pellin had just moved away from me and had the same bloody expression on her face.
It was completely different from the face that had just been smiling and purring.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Schluss-sama. Please take a good look on your way home.”
“Let me leave first.”
Fellin, who had a slight smile, held her right hand and shook it.
Knowing that this won’t be the last time, I smiled and said goodbye.

It was only until he left the castle that Kane was arranging the knights to see them off, but when he left the castle, the carriage was filled with silence.
Erica is leaning on Iris’ shoulder and sleeping very droolingly.
Einz was also lying next to me, almost fainting.
Iris was sitting neatly, so I wondered if she was okay, but she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Are you annihilated except for me?
He was a volunteer who made a significant contribution to the victory of Hagisa, and everyone must have been tired of showing his face while walking around the castle.
There was a moment when I was about to close my eyes.
“Shulus, Schlus. Isn’t it now?”
“Well?”
Tree was whispering to me.
isn’t it now
What do you mean?
“You decided to start magic classes after the midterm exams are over. It’s already been delayed by a week. Isn’t this the perfect time to reinforce that?”
“now······?”
I’m tired of dying
Tree’s eyes looking at me were too bright to say no.
There was no guarantee that this enthusiasm for learning would persist until returned to the institution.
Better to cut off the beginning when interest is at its peak.
“Tree. From my point of view, you seem to be doing the basics in magic.”
“Oh really?”
“But everything is stopped at the basic level.”
“············”.
Trier’s magic wasn’t often seen, but from what I’ve learned so far, it was.
I have a basic understanding, but that’s it.
He was good at crafting recipes after listening to the instructions, but his ability to formulate recipes on his own was negligible.
I decided that developing that ability was the most important thing.
“First, let’s go over the basic form of the rite and its combination.”
“Eh? That’s all right. I already learned everything when I was young. Can you tell me something about what Professor Ludwig teaches in elemental magic?”
“············”.
don’t make it right
Even the basic level was not enough.
With this mindset, it was impossible for me to teach anything to have an effect.
Shall we start by breaking down that arrogance first?
“hahahaha… Have you ever heard of magic tug of war?”
“Are you talking about what kids do when they play?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
magic tug of war.
It was a game of writing a simple formula and competing for control over each other.
Of course, if you proceed without rules, the one who pours out overwhelming magical power will win.
Therefore, by setting the connecting line (channel), the amount of mana that can be supplied per hour was limited, and only computing power was competed.
“I’ve already graduated from such low-level play.”
“Huh. Did I just say it was a low-level game?”
“Of course. There aren’t many cases, so it’s not just a win-win.”
“You’ll regret that. I’ll only use one channel. Connect three on your side.”
“Huh? Is that okay? Will there be a conclusion soon?”
It’s not even funny.
I drew a circle-shaped tactic in the air.
It was the most basic form of magic that simply circulated one cycle of magic and had no additional effects.
Trier looked at me with a puzzled expression as if he was joking, but I didn’t mind at all.
I was ready to interfere by connecting a line from my side like a straw.
Then the tree was to connect three lines.
Everything is ready.
“Give the signal to start.”
“Yeah, okay-“
“start.”
Since the penalty is being rubbed off, it should be a bit shameful, even if it’s a false start.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I immediately tried to cut the line (channel) to the tree connected to the procedure.
However, the magic of the tree from three directions was blocking it, and it was coming in like a water wave.
No matter how high my computing power stat was, it was still insufficient.
The simple circular procedure was quickly reversed and the initiative passed, and my channel was on the verge of being cut off.
“Uh…?!”
The thing that has been transformed like a branch extending from the archetype technique.
I made it complicated by arbitrarily modifying the procedure.
In other words, the level of security is increased by complicating the inverse calculation.
At the elementary level, magic tug-of-war is a game with a limited number of cases, like tic-tac-toe.
However, if you start to touch the security of the procedure, the number of cases expands to the extent that the tic-tac-toe expands in three dimensions.
It was probably the first time a tree had ever played a magic tug of war in this way.
“Ugh! How are you going to destroy this again!”
“You should have taken the initiative like that. Since I only have one channel, there is a limit to the speed of the operation. So, it was the best way for you to defeat me by developing the method first and strengthening security.”
“again!”
Trie, who had been talking so loudly up until now, whether he was angry or not, raised his voice.
You can do it over and over again
But play the game twice, three times…
Even after ten repetitions, the tree did not win a single game of me.
Every time Trier performed a rite to enhance security himself, he was sabotaged by me and lost control of the road.
“I don’t. What kind of foul are you writing?”
“It’s a foul. You sound funny.”
“Then why do I keep losing? I think I’m faster at developing the spell, and I’m also faster at transferring magic power!”
“Tree. The technique you develop lacks complexity. I know all the basic structures of the technique, but I have no idea how to put them together. If the basic structures are arranged in parallel, it’s not as good as deploying just one. “
“But…”
“Didn’t you learn all the recipes? Why don’t you use learning?”
“············”.
Trier kept her mouth shut.
The reason was obvious.
I don’t know what comes out of combining.
Once he loses the initiative, he has to re-calculate the formula he made, but Tree was not confident in back-calculating the formula he had made.
Image training that reverses the complex magic formula you created is a basic magic training method.
It was a passage that revealed how much Treer had neglected his magic training.
“Knowledge itself is not that important. How you use that knowledge is much more important. From now on, you will learn from me from what you thought you knew.”
“okay······.”
Only then did the arrogance subsided.
Now I feel like I’m going to teach a little bit.
