__________________________

The morning of the day after the first trial.

I was at the training ground to train for Rain's lineage enhancement mastery.

 

「…… No, it's normal to come in such a big place?"

 

This time, Senpai, Nea, and Ferm all followed.

Naturally, Ferm is still in his assimilated state, and Nea is still in his owl form, but I think there is still a lot to be said for the faces that will come after this.

 

"Huh, to put it simply, I'm free."

"You can't take your eyes off yesterday and today."

"Wow...... Wow......

 

Senpai, I understand Nea, but Ferm ...... sleeping normally.

If you want to sleep, do it in your room...... No, it's usually a pity to be left alone in a room, so it's better to stay with them.

 

"Seniors can also do magic power, so I would like some advice from you."

"Leave it to me!!"

 

I'm very anxious about what ...... do.

As he is anxious about his senior, who confidently places his hand on his chest, the door to the training ground opens and Loa, the grandson Mr./Ms. of Rain and Claude Mr./Ms., arrives.

Rain comes in front of us with Loa, who seems to be somewhere missing, as if they met on the way.

 

"Good morning, Mr./Ms. Usato."

"Yes, good morning, Rain. That's why you're ......."

 

He returned the greeting to Rain and looked at the lore behind him, bowing deeply with a nervous look on his face.

 

"Grandpa...... I'm Loa, a disciple of Claude the Brave! Thank you very much for your time today!!"

"I've heard from Claude Mr./Ms..

 

Are you a little younger than me?

A girl with gray hair that is almost black and is tied back like a ponytail.

All I know is that he was hand-to-hand with his seniors during the ordeal, but he is a very polite child.

 

"Yu, Yuyu Brave Inukami-sama, thank you very much......"

"Senior, what did you do?"

"Oh, Usato-kun, it's a little early to casually try to be a wall between Loa and me."

 

No, it's very frightening.

What kind of fight did you have yesterday?

 

"What did you do in the end?"

"For various reasons, I became a super dog, and I was so motivated that I snatched the spear in style......!"

"Alright, Rain, Loa, let's start training."

"Hmmm."

 

He passes through a senior who makes a disappointing-looking puppy cry and calls out to him to start training immediately.

Just as they were about to nod and get started, the door to the training ground opened again and someone came in again.

Is it Mr./Ms. Aura? But when I looked there, thinking that it was early for her, there was an unexpected person there.

 

"Elisha?"

 

This is Elisha, the sister of Liz, the hero of the kingdom of Nesha.

She is a special light magic user, and she fought in yesterday's trial, so why is she here, who is still remembered, ......?

Maybe he's training here, too?

 

"I'm sorry I'm in training!!"

"It's okay because I haven't even started, what's going on?"

"Oh, um, can I observe the training too!?"

 

You too!? Not only I was surprised by my participation, but also by other people.

No, the retinue of the Four Kingdoms is supposed to be here here, but is it okay?

 

"I don't mind at all, but what's wrong with Liz?"

"My sister couldn't get up in the morning because she was so tired."

 

Is it similar to Burlin and Koga?

It was easy to imagine why.

 

"Rain, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, and I don't think it will interfere with my training...... Haha."

 

For some reason, he tilts his head at Rain, who has a twilight smile on his face.

Well, there is one new participant here, but it doesn't interfere with Rain's training.

Let's start training.

 

●

 

There is a well-known story about Mr./Ms. Usat training Mr./Ms. a servant of a healing wizard from the kingdom of Milva.

People from different countries teach each other something.

There is no way that such a story will not be talked about, and there is quite a lot of talk in this neighborhood where the heroes are staying.

At first, I didn't really care.

- A rare person who likes and dislikes people quite clearly, and who likes her older sister who does not try to get close to people to a certain distance.

I was a little jealous of my sister, but I had to change my perception after yesterday's battle in the ordeal.

 

Mr./Ms. Usato looks like her older sister.

She does outlandish and nonsensical things, and her physical abilities surpass those of her sister, who doesn't use magic.

And the most interesting thing was that he easily saw through my magic.

Normally, he would have thought it was wind magic, but Mr./Ms. Usato's grasp it and judged it to be light magic just by looking at it.

…… I guess the reason why I was so quickly detected was because there are heroes in the Ringle Kingdom who have the same light magic as me.

Who knows, maybe you'll hear a story about light magic.

With that in mind, I tried to get permission from my teacher to go and watch Mr./Ms.'s training.

 

"Do you want to watch him train?" Isn't it good...... No, I'm going to recommend this as your teacher. In a way, you may be able to spend more meaningful time than you can get from this festival.'

 

I got permission properly, so I asked my sister.

 

"Go"

"Can you wake up sister?"

"Can you wake me up?"

"Even if you wake up, your sister won't wake up."

"Uru ......"

 

How many times have I sighed at my sister, who is weak in the morning because of her habit of being resistant to the cold?

And sure enough, I couldn't get up this morning, so I ended up coming to the training ground by myself and being allowed to observe ...... training.

 

"Whew."

 

In front of me, Mr./Ms. Inukami, the hero of the Ringle Kingdom, is holding a wooden sword in both hands while taking a light deep breath.

Watching it from a distance, a violent electric shock enveloped her body and charged her.

 

"Hmmm."

 

An electric shock bursts, and the golden glow turns white in an instant.

At the same time, Inukami Mr./Ms.'s arm moved——— and before she knew it, the wooden sword she was holding was swinging off.

After a few moments, paan! The sound of the air bursting, and a light wind pressure reaches us in the distance.

 

"Wow, that's amazing......

"Wow......"

 

Inukami the Brave...... Suzune Mr./Ms.s behavior makes me and Mr./Ms. Loa let out an exclamation.

He simply swung his sword, but that alone was so much that he couldn't follow it with his eyes at all.

Just by looking at his movements now, you can see how limited Mr./Ms. was in yesterday's ordeal.

 

"What the current senior is dealing with is one of the derivations of magic power turning, called system degradation."

 

Mr./Ms. Usato, who was training Rain nearby, explains so.

 

"Lineage, huh? Isn't it a system reinforcement?"

"Ah, it's a technique that reduces the quality of magic power and reduces magic consumption."

 

…… Eh, no, is it okay to ask this?

I heard something ridiculous like small talk.

When I look at Mr./Ms. next to me, I wonder if she thought the same thing.

 

「「……」」

 

As far as I can remember, I have never heard of a technology called system degradation.

While reminding her that her common sense is the same as Mr./Ms. Loa's expression——— she also looks again at the insane training that is taking place in front of Mr./Ms. Usato.

 

"Oh, um, what is Mr./Ms. Usato doing to Rain?"

 

Rain, who is now holding Mr./Ms. Usato by hand, is shaking as he falls to the floor.

When I visit him, fearful that he will never be able to do it just because he has been cast a healing spell, Mr./Ms. Usato's reply cheerfully.

 

"Hmm, yes, I didn't explain it, I'm now interfering with Rain's magic to speed it up."

「「……?」」

 

I tilt my head with Mr./Ms. next to me.

Interference with magic spinning? Acceleration? I understand what you're saying, but I don't understand it.

 

"Well, what's the point of doing that?"

"I think it can make the magic turn faster and more lubricating, because this is a training method that reduces the time it takes to train the magic power rotation."

 

Everything you hear is new to you.

If there was a teacher here, I would be happy and brave to ask questions.

After explaining so much, Usato Mr./Ms. suddenly looks like he's thinking about something, and turns his gaze to Mr./Ms. Roa.

 

"What about Loa?" Claude Mr./Ms. has asked me to do it, would you like to try it?"

「…… What?"

 

Mr./Ms.'s gaze turns to Rain.

Noticing Mr./Ms.'s gaze, Rain smiles sheepishly.

 

"Na, Nana, once you get used to it, it's all right!!"

 

"Let's make more friends"

Rain's intention makes him feel faintly like that from the depths of his gaze, and Mr./Ms.'s expression twitches as much as he does.

 

"Eh, I'll hold back......"

"Well, it doesn't look very good, I can't help it."

 

Are you aware of it?

This person is aware that he doesn't look very good.

At the shocking fact, not only me, but also Loa Mr./Ms. and Rain looked up and opened their eyes.

 

"It's a lot of fun just to watch it like this, and if you have anything you want to ask, don't hesitate to ask."

 

As we continued our training, Mr./Ms. suddenly said so.

What do you want to hear...... There is, but first you should ask Roa's Mr./Ms., who participated first.

Urging with his gaze, Mr./Ms. Loa nervously opened his mouth to Mr./Ms. Usato.

 

"As you may know, my mentor is my grandfather."

"Oh, I know because Mr./Ms. Claude told me."

"But I've shown myself to be unworthy of the ordeal the other day, and I'm Grandpa's apprentice...... I'm worried about whether I'm doing it right."

 

Isn't what you want to ask about training?

Mr./Ms. Usato looks troubled for a moment at the unexpected content.

 

"I'm Grandpa's grandson, so I don't know if it's tough or not, ......."

"......, do you have Mr./Ms. disciples who adore Mr./Ms. Claude Mr./Ms.?"

 

Mr./Ms. answers the abrupt question with surprise.

 

"Yes, there is Taku-san, Mr./Ms., and the knights who work for the kingdom are also disciples."

"Are there any students who are stronger than you?"

"Well, I have a lot Mr./Ms. siblings...... I've only been officially recognized for a short time."

「…… I wonder if it was with some intention for Mr./Ms. Claude to accompany you here as a retinue of this festival?"

 

Mr./Ms. then speaks.

 

"Even though I've only interacted with you a little, I know you're not the kind of person who would bring you here as a squire because you're my grandson or because of my memories, and of course you know that, don't you?"

"......, maybe Grandpa wanted me to gain fighting experience ......?"

"Or rather, because he said so during the fight with me, Claude Mr./Ms.."

 

He looks at Mr./Ms. with a wry smile.

 

"Loa, what you need to have is confidence, the hero you faced yesterday was a hero representing two kingdoms. You fought against an opponent that would have pushed me to the point where I could have done it. It's going to be an invaluable experience for you."

「…… yes."

"Then all we have to do is grow."

"Yes!"

 

I don't know what it is, but I feel like I'm used to being consulted.

Since he Mr./Ms. a healing wizard, I wonder if he also does spiritual treatment......?

 

"After all, can I ask you a favor?"

"What?"

"It's training!!"

"......, if you're so inclined, I'll lend you a hand."

"Thank you very much!?"

 

The moment Mr./Ms. Usato responded to the hand that was held out vigorously, Mr./Ms. Loa's body collapsed in an instant, just like Rain.

Ababa!? - Don't pull the two who scream muffled.

 

"It's the first time for Loa, so I'm going to accelerate it slowly, and I'm going to speed up the rain that I'm used to."

「…… Eh, is it something that can be adjusted for speed or something?"

"I tried it, and I was able to do it."

 

When he said that, the owl Mr./Ms. on Usato's shoulder Mr./Ms. Peshin! and slap on the cheek.

But the wings seem to be soft, so it doesn't seem to hurt at all.

I've been wondering for a while, is this owl Mr./Ms. Mr./Ms. Usato's familiar?

 

"So, is there anything you want to ask? It's totally okay to have an unrelated consultation at this time."

"Oh, no, I'm fine because I'm training properly or something like that, maybe."

 

…… Well, if you suddenly say that you want to participate in the training, do you know that there is a purpose?

Take a deep breath and talk about why you came here.

 

"I have a question for you about light magic."

"Light magic? Kazuki ...... Is it about another hero from the Ringle Kingdom?"

"Yes."

 

One of the heroes who overthrew the Demon King, Ryusen Kazuki.

His magic is a powerful light that can annihilate everything——— unlike me.

 

"If it's about light magic, I think it would be better to have a senior, Senpai!"

"——— what is it, Usato-kun!? Do you mean light magic!?"

 

I was scared by Mr./Ms. Suzune, who approached me from the bare swing at a tremendous speed.

Usato Mr./Ms., who seems to have gotten used to it, continues to talk while exposing Rain and Mr./Ms. Loa with both hands.

 

"You can go on."

"Oh, that...... There aren't many light magic users, so I don't know what kind of training method they use."

"Kazuki was training with a lot of magic manipulation...... though."

"Yes, he was basically thoroughly trained in magic manipulation. …… Elisha, is there something you're struggling with?"

「…… Yes."

 

My light magic, unlike ordinary ones, does not have the power to annihilate.

It is a light system that creates an invisible substance composed of light.

Therefore, annihilation, which is the key to light magic, is not working.

My magic has already been revealed, so when I tell him all about it, Mr./Ms. Usato, indulges in thought, "Hmm."

 

"I don't know what to say, but your light magic traits make Kazuki jealous."

"What?"

"Yes, because he's been struggling with his magic for a long time. It's a dangerous magic that can wipe out anything, so you can't use it normally...... In that sense, your magic is easier to handle than Kazuki-kun."

 

This is the first time I have been told such a thing.

Some people who knew I was light magic used to curse that my magic didn't look like light magic.

 

"The reason why he focused on magic manipulation in the first place was to make sure that he didn't inadvertently hurt people, and he knew the dangers of his magic better than anyone else, which is why he made the effort."

「……」

 

I was only thinking about the shortcomings of not having the power to annihilate.

The fact that I was ridiculed for it was also a cause for me to be very concerned, but it is true that the power to annihilate everything is too dangerous even for normal use.

…… Maybe the teacher knew that, so he didn't touch it much.

If so, you might be a little happy.

 

"Well, thank you very much———

Considering the nature of your magic, I think it would be a good idea to use light magic to move around like Kazuki."

"Huh, I was thinking the same thing, Elisha's magic seems to be easier to make than Kazuki-kun. Well, wait. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could create an invisible sword with light magic, or in her case, an arrow!?"

"Considering the lightness of his body and the convenience of this child's light magic that can traverse all places, why not take advantage of the invisible weapon and go in a kunai or shinobi direction?"

"Shinobi, that's one thing...... too!!"

 

"No, no, no, wait a minute!?"

 

In a matter of seconds, two people who understood my magic better than I did, created a ridiculous new trick and became frustrated.

Wow, I just wanted to be taught how to train in light magic, and I'm sorry if you go that far———、

 

"Well, even if it's an enemy, you don't have to go that ......."

"Hmm? Enemy? What are you talking about?"

"No, I'm going to compete in the Hero Festival......

 

At my words, they looked at each other and smiled wryly.

 

"You're a competitor, but you're not an enemy, you're the hero of the Nesha Kingdom, and if you become stronger, it's for the benefit of the people who live in the Nesha Kingdom."

"You're right, Usato-kun, we're the same brave people, we need to help each other."

 

Clearly, I am speechless at the two people who say so.

The persuasive power that makes you think that this is a "hero" even if you don't call yourself reminds me of the words that my teacher said to me before I came here.

 

"In a way, you may be able to spend more meaningful time than the experience you get from this festival."

 

Certainly, I think it's a meaningful time for me.

And my sister and I wanted to be "heroes" like these people, not just a title that doesn't ask for a reason to help someone.

…… For a moment, I thought so, looking away from the trembling Rain and Loa Mr./Ms. in my field of vision.

 

"Okay, then I'll continue to ——— your magic."

"Usato-kun"

"Yes?"

 

Suzune Mr./Ms. looks towards the entrance of the training ground, changes the tone of his voice and calls out Mr./Ms. Usato's name.

When I looked at him and saw a woman with ——— reddish hair at the entrance to the training ground...... Eh, there is Naia-sama, the first princess of the Kingdom of Kamherio!

Why is the princess here so early in the morning!?

 

「…… Senpai"

「I wonder if I found it・・・・・・・? …… I'll ask. I'm sorry, Elisha, but I'm leaving."

"Yes."

 

Mr./Ms. Suzune, who refused me, goes straight to Naia-sama.

Mr./Ms. Usato, who saw him off, relaxed his shoulders.

 

"Um, what happened?"

"Hmm? Uh, well, you don't have to worry about it. It wasn't a problem or anything."

 

Oh, this is something I shouldn't go into.

I suspected that it was probably related to confidentiality and various other things, so I decided not to pursue it further.

 

「…… Okay, let's go back to training. Rain, Lore! Let's do our best for another 30 minutes!!"

「「～～～～!?」」

「…… Wow."

 

But I definitely don't want to go through this training.

Seeing the two of them having a hard time on the floor with their magic turned accelerated, I think of it as if it were someone else's problem.
