Just a hard cage hand.

The finished weaponry had too simple a performance.

It's not a weapon that would cause widespread destruction, it's not a weapon that would inflict a lethal level of blow on your opponent, it's just a protective gear.

I like this cage hand, although I feel sorry for my predecessors that the weapon used by the brave man came in this form.

The morning after Falga gave me the cage hand, I was using the cage hand for a mock fight with Mr. Alk. Simulated battle with Mr. Alc dealing with flames.

Besides, this time it's a battle using an iron sword that crushed the blade, not a wooden sword.

He must have been a formidable enemy to me, just like Mr. Leona, capable of demonstrating a technical battle with a flame-covered sword.

"Huh...!"

Without gripping his fist, he lets it take the shape of a handknife and plays Mr. Alk's blazing sword with his right hand protruding forward.

Deviate the swing from the top with your palms and accept the lateral giraffe with your arms.

It is the sensation that is felt in the caged hand that played it, it conveys no pain, no heat, nothing. This does not make it impossible to use it with heat, as it did when I fought Mr. Alk, who was manipulated by Nair.

"This is how he performs!"

Stand on your left arm so you can strike out your fist at any time, and use your right arm even for defense.

In this simulation, that was becoming my new way of fighting.

"Again, stiff...!"

"I'm surprised, too!"

Mr. Alk also seems surprised by the rigidity of his cage hands.

Me, of course, is hot anywhere but my arm, but I'm not directly hit by flames, so I can stand it at all.

"That's great! Lord Usato!"

"Mr. Alc is the one!!"

But unlike when Mr. Alk himself fought before, he is able to fight with no one manipulating him to show his true power.

When I play the attack with my bare hands and try to get into my nostalgia after cutting through the attack, I gently pull back before it, slashing it with my sword so that it can be re-divided.

Around not stepping in more than necessary, Mr. Alk is astonished at the way he fights.

"Is this avoidable!"

"Huh!"

Alk, who had produced multiple magic bullets in his palms, threw them at me all at once.

A wide-ranging type of magic bullet used by Meena in Lukvis!? Not surprisingly, Mr. Ark could use it too, but would you use it at this close range!?

"But I have this one!"

This cage hand is not only characterized by stiffness.

Thanks to this cageman who assists me in the manipulation of magic, new moves have been added to my healing magic.

Cage the magic in your right palm and point it at the impending magic bullet.

"Play it!"

"Hey!?"

Compressed magic explodes from his palms, causing all the magic bullets released by Mr. Alk to detonate.

This is the new move, the healing magic rupture palm.

As part of the strengthening of the system, the attempt and error of using the outburst of magic in some way resulted in a move that combines evasion and defense at close range.

I've had a lot of problems and I've never been able to use them before, but thanks to this cageman, they're finally available in action.

"Let's go, Mr. Alc!"

"Hey, what are you doing, Usat!?"

"Wow!? Mr. Leona!?"

When I paid for the smoke with my right hand to continue the simulation, Mr. Leona, flying from the side, changed his blood phase and grabbed my shoulders out of the blue.

Mr. Alk is also stunned with his sword, but Mr. Leona lifted my right arm and checked for injuries.

"What a dangerous way to use magic!? System strengthening is not how to use it!?"

"Oh, yeah. It's okay. I have a caged hand, so my right arm is intact."

"The one named you already..."

Oh, has Leona noticed the healing magic rupture clap principle I did...

Alc, with his sword, approached Leona, who was angry at my words or had a bewildered look on her face.

"Um, Mr. Leona. What did Lord Usato do earlier? It just seemed to me that he released his magic power with tremendous momentum from his palms..."

"Usat literally burst his magic. Intended outburst of magic, a shortcoming of system strengthening... It is not a sane act from someone who can handle system strengthening..."

Yes, the reason the healing magic bursting clap couldn't be used is because it's a move that intentionally erupts magic.

Previously, when I did it without a cage hand, my palms were covered in blood and it was hard, and I thought it would take some time to magic and not be able to use it in action, but this cage hand solved the problem.

But Leona, who felt so much more critical about my behavior, strengthened her shoulder and brought her face closer together.

"Why would you want to do something so dangerous?" I don't know how many caged hands there are, but there's something going on! Farga's weapon isn't perfect either. It may be possible that the magic that has lost its way will reflux!? "

I snort, overwhelmed by the words of Mr. Leona, who is desperate.

So you calmed me down, gave me a slightly tired look.

"Usat, the next time you do something like this, tell us... it's not only bad for you, it's bad for my heart. Systematic strengthening is really dangerous technology."

"Shh, excuse me. I'll be careful."

You've been stabbed with a scattered nail by Mr. Welsey before......

... I've been pissed off, but for now, I know this move is one I can use enough.

The effect itself simply explodes compressed magic over the palm, and the power itself is only to the extent of blowing people lightly, and its range is only about a meter or two.

But if you let it float on the ground, use it in motionless conditions, or punch it into your opponent, it has a healing magic bullet application.

And then, yes... healing magic. Is it an advantage to be able to heal the entire body of an injured person in an instant?

"But when I tried before, my hands were scratched and it was hard, but now that I have caged hands, I can use them in action enough. See, magic builds up in an instant!"

"It's no wonder what idea brings me to the idea of using an outburst of magic..."

Mr. Leona, who dropped his shoulder, took his hand off my shoulder.

"Usat, Lord Alk, I'm sorry to interrupt the simulation."

"It doesn't matter. Because I was about to get fever in the battle with Lord Usato. I'm glad you stopped."

I laugh refreshingly at Mr. Leona, who seems sorry.

Say something scary with a cool face.

But in Mr. Alk's case, if you mean it, you're really going to have a fever. I showed it to you when Nair was manipulating you, that flame. His original magic, which he usually suppresses, is not lineage strengthening.

If Mr. Alc, who is sane, uses that flame, I must be serious, too, but his power is unreliable in fighting Mr. Caron, who manipulates the ice.

"Lord Usato, how did it feel to try using a caged hand?"

"Surprisingly tight"

I nod contentedly at Mr. Alk's words.

Although I was anxious to handle it well at first, even though it was the first time I fought with a cage hand, this cage hand was incorporated into my way of fighting as if it existed from the beginning.

The boulders are like caged hands for me. [M]

"I thought we needed to get used to it, but we might not need that either"

My new way of fighting.

That's a melee that combines evasion and defense.

Using healing magic bullets and magic with ruptured palms, poke at the opponent's surprise and strike in the biggest blow.

... Isn't it the same as before? I can't really deny it if you say so......

With that in mind, and smiling bitterly, Mr. Leona, who was listening to me and Mr. Alc talking, puts her hand on his chin.

"And that means, are you ready to fight Karon now"

"Yes."

Me and Alc snort at Mr. Leona's words.

Avoidance that saved you a waste of movement.

Defense with caged hands.

Grants Immunity to Cold Air with Resistance Spells.

With these three, we finally have the conditions to fight Mr. Caron head-on.

"Norn, who maintains his boundaries, is also near the limit... Usat, Lord Alk, tonight, think of an operation to fight Karon"

"... is Norn okay?"

"He's posing as a cheerful face, but he'll be close to the limit"

Yesterday, healing magic healed my body fatigue, but my exhausted mind hasn't healed me at all.

Considering that even before we arrived we tried to maintain our bond with insomnia and continue to do so until today... it's not strange when Master Norn falls.

Now that my weapons are complete and ready, the next course of action has been decided.

"Okay. Let's think about the operation tonight."

The battle with Mr. Caron is close.

Aware of it, the force came into my hand, where nature and caged hands were embedded.

●

Having completed a stretch of training, I was leaving the training ground staring at my cage hand.

Near entering the castle from the training ground, a black owl, Nair, jumped on me.

"Hmm? Nair. You've been watching?"

"... Yep. I was bored, but I was watching."

I laughed bitterly at Nair for saying that in some grumpy way, thinking, "Go back” to the cage hand on my right arm and turn it into an iron bracelet.

I was worried about how to get it back yesterday, but I thought it was plain convenient for me to be able to get it back any time I wanted.

If you want to do it, you can gear it up on your left arm, and it's pretty good that you don't have to bother carrying it with your caged hands.

And cool.

When I return to the kingdom of Ringle, I want to show my seniors the cage hand fitting scene and doya face.

"How was my new cage hand, Nair?"

"Isn't it perfect for you?"

Imagining the seniors' reaction, I asked Nair about the caged hands and she returned words that didn't sound right.

"I don't know I wasn't on the spot, but!!"

Reinforce the end of the phrase, and sigh leaks as the nair stares at you.

Nair is angry that she wasn't woken up last night when my cage hand was finished.

After she hit me with punska and anger, she wanted to see the moment when she was left alone, or even my cage hand was made, and so on, she was still rotten.

"You apologized for not waking me up."

"I didn't feel completely caged. What do you mean, I'm just out of company?"

'Cause you didn't wake up.

"Wake me up in a better mood! Even I wanted to see the sword of the brave turn into a cage hand!"

I wake you up in a mood.

Should I knock him in even with a decopin?... That's going to complain.

"Speaking of which, it's because you slept so fast. I always thought you were a healthy person, but as a demon of the night, you live an unhealthy life."

"What, well, that's... because nobody has anyone to talk to at night..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing!"

He's a busy kid whining about bosses and turning bright red and angry.

But before I look forward to it, I'm sorry I didn't wake you up, so let's apologize again.

"Well, I'm really sorry."

"... you just have to know"

"But I didn't think the reason you went to bed early was because I missed you alone."

!!

I don't like it when you squeal bossy in my ear, but I can hear you. But surprisingly, there's something childish about Nair, too.

Walk through the castle feeling smiling at Nair as she slaps me in the head with her wings.

Walking through the castle is also something I'm used to, and I go down the aisle to my room without hesitation. But suddenly I stop by hearing tinnitus.

"-"

- I need to talk to you.

The voice heard with the tinnitus was that of Farga-like.

Nair calls out when she sees me hold my head and stop.

"Usato, what have you done now? Your magic has only spoiled for a moment."

"... oh. Farga-sama's voice is in a direct line... there's something I need to talk to you about."

Is this about today's ops meeting?

Then you should talk to Lady Norn, not me...

Does calling me in person mean you don't want anyone to hear it?

"Nair, I'm going to Falga's..."

"I'm coming too. They left me yesterday, so today's the day to follow."

I have it in my roots.

Do you force me to follow you back to your room like this? Master Farga will forgive you even if Nair is with you.

With a smile on her face, I turned back to the hall where the path leads to Master Farga.
