“… … Your Highness, can you explain the exact meaning of the word insufficient power?”
“It is literally… … Ah, my explanation was a bit lacking.”
After sorting out what I was going to say in my head for a while, I calmly opened my mouth.
“I’m not talking about just the cheongsaja. I mean all troops across the kingdom.”
“… … .”
Maybe because it was a little direct, everyone kept their mouths shut.
Felix, who had been silently listening to me, quietly raised his hand to indicate his intention to speak.
“Okay, is the reason why Your Highness judged that the power is insufficient is the great family of Feyer Continent?”
“that’s right. After looking at the information in the first-class reading room, I became even more convinced.”
Felix showed this with a hard face, but he had no choice but to agree.
It was because the skills of Sylvetted, whom I had actually met in person, were enormous.
“… … I agree with Your Highness.”
The first to respond was Kielus.
“Actually, we’ve already discussed it once.”
“What kind of conversation was it?”
“… … It’s embarrassing to say it because it’s about expressing our shortcomings.”
“I don’t think so. You can become strong only when you know what you lack.”
“I can trust you because it’s the words of Your Highness, who has grown in a short period of time.”
A bittersweet melted into Kielus’s face, showing an easy-going smile.
“That day, Sylverted clearly had matters in his hands. As if trying to teach us… … .”
A mixture of humiliation and astonishment melted across Kyelus’s face as he blurted out his words.
“What surprised me was that those skills didn’t just come from the realm.”
He had risen to an 8-star intermediate level, but he was at the same low level when he met Kielus.
In addition, Kielus showed off his swordsmanship beyond his prowess while using an A-class artifact.
Even that was grinding his teeth at the ruined reality.
I pushed through with the cooperation of the other two captains, but… … .
Both strength and technology were feeling resentment at the pushed reality.
“Therefore, I strongly felt the need for exchange.”
Even though the kingdom was a nation, it had a closed tendency.
The reality was that there was little interaction with different forces, whether they were unmanned, wizards, or technicians.
‘… … No, rather, this flow was created because it was a kingdom.’
I thought that there was no danger from foreign forces, so an atmosphere of competition was formed.
Although there is a continent of Feyer, the long-lasting peace and distance have eliminated the sense of crisis.
“I did think of creating a place where knights from all over the kingdom could interact.”
“good idea. Let’s do it right away.”
“… … Are you okay? Everyone will react quite a bit.”
The exchange Kielus spoke of was, after all, a mock war.
It was inevitable that the level of each other would be revealed.
If your performance here is insignificant, not only will it tarnish your reputation, but your influence will also diminish.
So, from the point of view of the nobles, it would have been a loss to do so.
“If so, I think it would be fun. … .”
But for me now, that wasn’t a problem.
The Crown Prince, who played a major role in the war, told me to do it, but how many would refuse because it could damage their face?
“Sure, there could be, but that’s fine as an example of what happens.”
“ha ha ha! Your Highness is right. The justification is clear, and it’s in line with His Majesty’s will, and if you oppose it, it’s no different than asking to be killed.”
Isabelle laughed heartily, and as if she had been waiting, she talked about small details.
It was quite detailed, but it didn’t seem like I remembered it right away.
‘It looks like we’ve already discussed this method closely.’
However, the problem was that it was not something the Blue Lion Knights wanted.
If you ask the queen directly for this, it will be noisy… … .
“Then, we will proceed with the participation of everyone, including the knights of the Royal Guard, without exception.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“I also want to interact with the northern family knights of the Feyer continent, what do you think?”
At my suggestion, the captains’ eyes slightly sharpened.
The northern family is also a member of the Feyer continent.
It’s not an enemy, but it’s probably the best opponent to experience that level indirectly.
“I think it is a good way.”
“This, to avoid disgrace, you must prepare well.”
“Isabel, Your Highness is in front of you.
“It’s okay, I think it’s a good expression that’s easy to understand.”
“Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness.”
In a fairly relaxed atmosphere, I mentioned one last thing to clear up the discussion.
“I think there should be 10 people who have reached the level of 8 stars.”
“Are you talking about the entire kingdom?”
“No, I’m only talking about Cheongsaja.”
“… … !”
The captains, including Kielus, were greatly surprised by this.
In the first place, there are only two 8-star status among the active duty of Cheongsaja.
By the way, only 10 people in Cheongsa?
“However, it would be realistically impossible to increase the number by 5 times, so it would be better to aim for 4 or 5 people.”
“… … Is that a conclusion based on the information Your Highness knows?”
The source of the information Kielus asked was the first-class reading room.
In fact, most of my experiences and memories in my previous life were the basis, but there were also things I felt after seeing the reading room, so I decided to affirm it.
“That’s right.”
“This is really, I need to push myself. I never thought I would feel these emotions at this age.”
In Isabelle’s smile, I could feel the fighting spirit.
It was as if he had found a new source of vitality in his boring daily life.
It was the same with the other captains.
Not everyone was like that, but at least no one bowed their heads in despair.
“Then I’ll stand up now. Looking at you guys, it seems that my worries have lessened.”
“It’s too much praise, Your Highness.”
“The support for the establishment of the SS that you requested earlier will be steadily progressing.”
“Yes, I will believe you.”

Tsutsutsutsutsu –
Sitting alone at the polishing ground, I was concentrating on mana management.
What I remember is the scene the Queen showed me the other day.
＜Yes, so I think this advice will suffice for you.＞
Then, the queen showed me how to use magical powers.
The magic that flows slowly, clearly, and quietly was really mysterious.
In a very short moment, many spells were displayed.
As if that was enough, the queen left.
So, when I was alone, I tried thinking about that scene, but it didn’t work out like I thought.
‘It’s simply a slow operation, but… … .’
It was not good for the mana to flow clearly and quietly.
Being clear meant that there was a lot of power inside.
Being quiet meant that it was hard to notice the operation, and it had a practicality.
It was hard to do this with slow operation.
‘I don’t think it was shown to help you learn transcendental magic… … .’
After seeing my magic, the queen decided that it wouldn’t be strange if I had already mastered the art.
So it wouldn’t have been an action to help the master.
considering beyond that.
‘Skadi, do you have any sense of something?’
[I do not know. First of all, try eating some more chocolate there, and he told me to stop eating too.]
wajak wajak wajak.
He said this to Cheon-Gak, who was eating sweets in front of me.
There were many times when I summoned them because I no longer needed to hide them.

Like Skadi, Cheon-Gak also likes sweet things, so he would give them snacks like this from time to time.
It’s not a normal animal, so I don’t think it’s bad for the body to eat something like that.
‘What’s wrong? I just need to bring some more.’
[…] … Well, that’s right.]
From nob le mt l dot com
Little by little
When Skadi asked for some chocolate, she said in a slightly softened voice.
[Speaking of that magical power, isn’t it the exact opposite of what you’ve been doing?]
‘contrary?’
[It’s the exact opposite of the way we used to use a lot of magic all the time.]
‘… … ah.’
I understood what Skadi was talking about.
The use of magical power is also a process for deploying a spell.
In other words, you have to operate quickly to increase the speed of deployment, which led to the rapid activation of magic.
This has been the way I’ve been doing it so far.
In this way, it was possible to save the invisible characteristics.
‘What the queen showed was the opposite direction to what I was using.’
The slow and clear operation was the base preparation for magic focused on power and scale.
Why did you show it to me… … .
‘What is needed to go beyond this is balance, not specialization?’
I am convinced that this is the correct answer.
Seeing my mana management and magic, this is the only reason I dared to show the opposite concept.
However, that didn’t mean I wasn’t suspicious.
Whether a wizard or a warrior, the basics of training were selection and concentration.
It was to sharpen one’s strengths as much as possible, raise the level, and bring out the extreme.
I couldn’t help but be surprised that the state after that was in balance, not specialization.
‘Let’s try it.’
I imagined focusing on power and scale, rather than simply slowing down the use of magical power.
If it had been before seeing the Queen’s magical power, I would have thought that this was enough… … .
‘This is not it.’
It was awkward.
Its rank and flow, which I saw with my own eyes, were not like this.
It was essentially different from this kind of mere imitation.
Of course, I can’t reach that level right now, but… … .
‘Even the essence shouldn’t change.’
It’s not just running slow.
He moved his mana slowly, carefully paying attention to even the smallest details.
This created a strange sense of deja vu.
It seems that he once used transcendence magic with this type of operation… … .
Tsutsutsutsutsu –
As I remembered what the queen had shown me and used it carefully, the magic began to gain strength.
There was a certain quality to the magical power that bloomed slowly, vividly and calmly.
It didn’t come close to what the Queen showed me, but I was convinced that it was essentially no different.
At the same time, I realized another thing.
‘This is what I wrote then.’
The connection with Skadi is severed.
It was a story about when he had a premonition of the end of his life and poured out his last strength to activate his telekinesis.
Although it was not accurate because my consciousness was already blurred.
What I used at that time was definitely a level of power that I couldn’t normally use.
‘It was used to inflict even a little more damage.’
However, it was considered that this was a fundamentally incompatible method of operation with telekinesis or invisibility.
It was because it was no different from clumsily following attribute magic.
‘I thought I was losing my natural strength… … ?’
I realized one fact while I was thinking alone while operating repeatedly.
This also applies to mind magic.
‘That’s right, that’s why it didn’t work.’
After reaching 6 stars, I adjusted my mental magic, but it didn’t work very well.
I was having a bit of a headache with this.
I realized why now.
‘It was like using invisible magic.’
If you think about it, it was natural.
In the first place, the first time I adjusted my mental magic, it wasn’t the type that quickly activates a lot of magic like invisibility.
It was the direction to compress that power and increase the effect.
In other words, it was said that the magic management method the queen had shown would be of great help.
‘Unlike invisibility, with the feeling of focusing on one point… … .’
The moment I was about to adjust the spell like that, I heard someone pretending to be there.
Normally I would have ignored it, but I stopped operating and stood up.
I was told not to come in unless it was very urgent, but you came in violation of that order.
After properly organizing the surroundings, I went outside and a soldier greeted me with a recalled expression.
“Cow, I apologize, Your Highness! Originally, I know that I shouldn’t interfere with training, but… … .”
“It’s okay, you came here because you have something important to do, right?”
“Yes, yes.”
The stuttering soldier took a deep breath and then slowly opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty’s order has come to come quickly to the palace.”
“Do you know why?”
“Yes, Your Highness! They say it is because the Ronberg family proposed an alliance.”
“… … !”
