I had a mock battle with my seniors, and it was quite heated.

I was careful not to let the aftermath happen to Mr./Ms. and the others, but even so, in the end, the people of the castle gathered and it became a bit of a commotion.

I myself have to reflect on the fact that I was excited about a mock battle with my seniors for the first time in a long time.

In the end, she was separated on the spot from Mr./Ms. Welsey and her subordinates, who were writing something in their notebooks and magic tools with vacant eyes, and Mr./Ms. of her subordinates.

 

"It was just the beginning of the degradation of the system...... I have to do my research...... I have to do my research...... Heh, heh."

"Uh, Welsey? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Suzune-sama, I'm elated after one more lap. This is the first time I've ever learned that if you exceed the human allowance, you're going to be fine."

"I'm sorry......

"I'm scared, this guy......

 

When he apologizes involuntarily, he mutters as if Ferm, who is assimilated, pulls back.

He sees off his subordinates Mr./Ms., led by Welsey Mr./Ms., who also exudes a "fufufu" and mad scientist-like vibe, returning to the castle.

 

"Then let's go back to the rescue team."

"Oh, can I stop by Amako's on the way back? I'd like to see how things are going."

"I don't care, I'd rather go."

 

I want to go......

Thinking that this kind of place is still the same, I head to the castle gate with my seniors.

 

"Do you think Keira's training is going to be okay?"

"It sounds like the first day was tough, how was the morning?"

"It was cute."

"I asked Ferm."

"Hmmm."

 

I actually asked my seniors, but the answer was as expected, so I switched to Ferm.

 

"On the surface, it seemed to be okay, but it's not as good as us, so it's okay, isn't it?"

"Still, I'll have to take a look at it."

 

It was the same with Nak, but kids at that age tend to have a lot of things.

Keira, in particular, is particularly prominent in this area, so I have to support her.

 

"I'll watch as much as I can, but I want you to take care of it too."

"I know, it's the same dark wizard. I'll watch it so that I don't spoil it.'

"Senior, please, please?"

"I'm always a woman who lives up to expectations."

 

No, I don't ...... to be called that cool.

When I was confused by the senior who showed a mysterious doya face, I finally arrived near the castle gate...... Hmm?

 

"What's up, Usato-kun?"

"There is a familiar uniform in front of the castle gate...... That's Luxvis, isn't it?"

"Oh, that's true."

"What?"

 

It's understandable that Ferm doesn't know about it, but it's an outfit that makes a strong impression on my seniors and me.

The school city "Luqvis Academy" located next to the Kingdom of Lingle

The black uniforms based on the robes worn by the students who go there are the ones who go there.

…… In terms of the number of people, I think it's about 20 people.

 

"Hmmm, there is a reaction to my chemomimi senses."

"What kind of sensor is it?"

 

When he passed the senior who said something stupid again, the students of Luxvis, who were waiting in line in front of the castle gate, were knights of the Ringle Kingdom...... Or rather, I see Mr./Ms. and some knights calling out.

 

"I'm going to take you to your quarters here, and as you know, as soon as you cause trouble, you'll be asked to return to Luqvis. Please understand that your position is not yours alone.

"'Yes!'"

 

When I say dormitories, does that mean they're going to be here for a while?

As I watched the situation, Mr./Ms. Alc waved at me, probably noticing me.

As I approached them, Mr./Ms. introduced me and my seniors to the Luqvis students.

 

"This is Lord Inukami Suzune, the 'Hero' of the Ringle Kingdom, and Lord Usato Ken, the 'Deputy Leader' of the Life Rescue Team, and maybe they have all met Mr./Ms. once."

「…… Uh, uh, thank you."

 

Hmm?

If you look closely, you will see a familiar face among the students of Luxvis.

One of them looks at me and smiles wryly, and the other rolls his eyes and stiffens.

I can't talk to them in this place, so I ask Mr./Ms. why they're here.

 

"Mr./Ms., they're Luxvis' students, aren't they?"

"Yes, as part of Luxvis' lectures, we are giving tours to the Knights of other countries. If I had to say it, I would say that it was a trial entry."

"It's like a work experience."

 

So they're here because they want to join the Knights of the Ringle Kingdom.

 

"These events are important in setting my own course at Luxvis, and since I came to work here as well, I was entrusted with guiding them."

"It's hard, isn't it......?"

"It's still a long way from Usato-dono."

 

No, but it hasn't been that long since I got home, but it seems to be hard to lead.

 

"I'm going to take them to the quarters outside the castle, can you come with me halfway?"

"Eh, are you sure?"

 

If we are there, it may be a nuisance, but .......

In response, Mr./Ms. smiles and nods as usual.

 

"The two of you are famous in the Lingle Kingdom, so it's a good stimulus for them...... I'm sure there will be a lot of talk with people you know."

 

Well, I know Alc Mr./Ms. because he was our escort at Luxvis.

I was honestly pleased with his kindness, and I nodded at his words.

 

●

 

Students who came to the Kingdom of Lingle from Luxvis.

As I walked to the dormitory where they would be staying for a while, I got to talk to my acquaintances from Luxvis——— Kiriha and Halfa Mr./Ms. for the first time in a long time.

 

"I didn't expect to see you so soon."

 

A short distance away from the group of Luqvis' students, Kiriha, a weasel beast woman, says.

Looking behind me, the students other than Kiriha and Mr./Ms. Halfa are looking at me curiously.

 

"Don't worry about the back, because the people who are here know about usato."

"I see......

 

I've also stood out a lot in Luxvis because of the knack case.

I don't know their names, but there are some familiar faces.

 

"Hehehe, it looks like my chemomimi sensor was there after all."

"Senior, stay"

"Hahaha...... Hmmm."

 

He grabs the collar of a senior who is about to head towards Kiriha.

Sighing at her as she struggles with her and quickly becomes quieter, she talks to Kiriha, who has distanced herself.

 

"Oh, it's still the same...... Well, I'm relieved that I haven't changed at all since I became a hero."

"Why did Kiriha join the Ringle Kingdom?"

"To put it simply, your influence."

 

We?

Involuntarily pointing to herself, Kiriha smiled shyly.

 

"I thought that the Ringle Kingdom would accept me as a beastman, and in fact, I was surprised at how easily my hopes came through."

"So you might eventually join the Knights of the Ringle Kingdom?"

"It depends on how hard I work in the future."

 

Considering Kiriha's personal wind magic in terms of his physical abilities as a beastman, I think he's pretty strong.

…… Well, it's not up to me to judge personally.

While thinking about it, a senior suddenly calls out to Kiriha.

 

"By the way, isn't your brother here?"

"Kyo chose the Kingdom of Nirvarna unlike me, but the time period is different, so now I'm with Satsuki in Luqvis."

"I see, Nirvarna...... It seems to be in Kyo's personality."

 

They are also tolerant of subhumans...... Or rather, it was a country where power literally matters, so it must have been a place where there was a lot of power.

In that sense, meritocracy seems to be suitable for Mr./Ms. Halfa, but I'm worried that the person in question has been silent for a while.

 

"Mr./Ms. Halfa, what did you do?"

「…… Huh!?"

 

Mr./Ms. Halfa looks surprised as she returns to herself after being called out to me.

 

"No, Mr./Ms. was supposed to be ridiculous, so I was absent-minded until now."

"And what's ridiculous......?"

"Come to think of it, one of Welcy's subordinates with the Devil's Eye fainted ......."

 

Is it supposed to be ridiculous from Mr./Ms.'s point of view?

I'm able to turn magic unconsciously, but I don't know how much I'm able to do.

 

"The art of magic turning can now be taught at Luxvis."

"Including the fact that it was developed by Usato."

"Yes......."

 

It's good that magic is spreading right away, but I ...... that my name is even mentioned.

It's itchy, it's scary, and it's an indescribable feeling.

 

"From my point of view, the magic rotation itself was just a technique that made it easier to read the opponent's movements."

"Is it easier to read? Isn't it usually harder to understand when the flow of magic is faster?"

"No, the essence of magic is not to speed up the flow, but to optimize the use of magic, and it is possible to increase the speed, accuracy, and foundation of reflecting magic from thought."

"That's how it was......

 

I didn't know that I was using it at all.

I had a vague perception that there were a lot of things going up.

 

"That's why it's easier for those who have mastered magic to read their magic, so to speak, because it's easier for their intentions to be reflected in their magic."

 

It's a view that only Mr./Ms. Halfa, who has a demonic vision and fights on his own, can understand.

But why was he so stunned by me, which would have made it easier for him to fight in a way?

 

"So, what does Mr./Ms. Halfa look like to my magic?"

"The flow of magic is so fast that it is almost unrecognizable."

"What?"

"It's constantly circulating through my body at high speed, and at first glance it seems to flow slowly, and to be honest, I doubted my sanity. Hahaha"

 

…… So far, ?

It was worth the training.

 

"Another thing that surprised me."

"yes?"

"There was another magical power that covered Mr./Ms. Usato's body, and the black, watery, transparent magic was like dark magic that I had heard rumors about———

「「…… Ahh

 

Me and my seniors leak our voices at the same time.

It was like dark magic, or rather, dark magic itself.

 

"Ferm"

『…… What is it?'

"Can you de-assimilate?"

『…… C'mon, I get it.'

 

"Usato? Who the hell are you talking to?"

"Mr./Ms. Usato?"

 

For some reason, Ferm, who clicked his tongue, unraveled his assimilation with me.

Ferm emerges from the shadows, and the students, except for the seniors and the knights of the Ringle Kingdom, are surprised.

 

"Well, the Demon Tribe!?"

"Don't worry, he's a member of the lifesaving team."

「…… It's Ferm."

 

Ferm, wearing a hood that he had created with his own magic, looked somewhat unfaithful and moved to hide behind me.

Seeing that Mr./Ms. and the seniors were unresponsive, the students seemed to have regained their composure.

 

"I'm sorry, you can assimilate again."

「…… Ahh

 

He quickly confirms that Ferm has assimilated and turns to the two of them once more.

 

"I mean, it's unreasonable to think it's not strange at all......"

"Is this why you could see the magic power of the two of you......?"

 

Both Kiriha and Mr./Ms. Halfa were surprised but relieved that they didn't seem to have any hostility.

…… It's time for us to head towards the city.

 

"Mr./Ms. Alc, we're going to split up here."

"Got it."

"Kiriha, Mr./Ms. Halfa, both Nak and Amako are here, so please come and see them when you have time."

"Oh, I was wondering what kind of place Amako and Nak lived."

 

For the time being, we say goodbye to Kiriha and Mr./Ms. Halfa and move towards the city.

 

"I need to tell Amako and Nak about Kiriha and Halfa."

"Yes, I think they'll be happy too."

 

In particular, Nak would have been taken care of by Kiriha, and he would have met her soon.

 

"But, Ferm, why did you continue to assimilate with Usato-kun all this time? I'm really curious about that."

『…… No, it's because it's easy to get around. There's no other reason.'

 

Certainly, if you assimilate, you don't have to walk, so it's easy.

I didn't care about it, so it didn't matter, but I'm worried about the smirk on the senior who said that.

 

"Hmmm, that's it."

『…… Whew!'

"Caution!?"

 

A dark magic fist flies out of my body towards the smirking senior.

I glanced sideways at my seniors who hurriedly avoided it, and I sighed lightly and thought about how stupid things tend to be treated as taxis these days.
