Nea and I headed to the castle, where we met again with Leona Mr./Ms., who took us around the city of Lingle Kingdom until the afternoon training.

Since the battle has just ended, it is not very popular, and it has not yet returned to its original streetscape, but the shops are still open, so I guided them to the shop where Amako was helping.

Then, in the afternoon, when training with Kazuki was just around the corner, Mr./Ms. and I were doing a light warm-up session.

 

"There!"

"Sweet!"

 

The protruding fist is flicked by the handle of the spear that Leona Mr./Ms. rotates in her hand.

Mr./Ms. regained her grip on the spear and thrust a stone thrust into my leg.

 

"Huh!"

 

Mr./Ms. avoids it by taking a step back, but Leona wields her spear widely, sideways, as soon as she steps in.

Brush off the bush by taking advantage of the reach! Don't keep your distance!

With the gauntlet of his right arm, he flicks the tip of the spear and puts the figure of Mr./Ms. Leona in his field of vision while keeping a distance.

 

"I thought I could do it at close range, but there are ways to fight that don't let my opponent get close......

 

From the beginning, he is a person who surpasses Kazuki and his seniors in terms of technology.

Even if you try to forcibly approach them, you will be hit by a counterattack like before.

 

"I said that I was going to do a mock battle casually, but I gradually got more and more enthusiastic."

"Aha......"

 

No, at first, I should have done it casually...... After a few battles and defenses, I started to feel pretty serious.

Of course, Leona's Mr./Ms. spear of the hero is cut with ice, and they follow the rule that they don't take each other seriously.

 

"There's no Nea right now......

 

When they left for the afternoon training, Nea was left alone with Amako.

Why don't you come? When I asked, he said, "It's okay to keep up with them all the time, and sometimes you can enjoy it with your friends."

So now I'm fighting without her support.

 

"Mr./Ms., it's time to use some magic."

"I don't mind, but are you okay?"

"Yes, and I'd like to rethink the use of this gauntlet."

 

A gauntlet who usually only uses it as a shield.

Assimilation with Ferm has eliminated the advantage of unscathed magic outbursts, but this gauntlet has another property: it is an aid to magic manipulation.

I haven't been able to use it until now, but I need to understand it better in order to learn the technology to make magic resilient.

 

"If that's the case, I'll have to cooperate with you, as someone who has been entrusted with the armor of Falga-sama like you."

"What?"

 

When Leona Mr./Ms. said that, she wielded the spear she had switched to in her right hand once, and Jakin! With a metallic sound, the shape of the spear changed to a sword.

To say the least, I was surprised by the deformation, which was too cool.

 

"What!? Can it be used as a sword?!?"

"It's a staff in its original form, and it's more flexible in shape than you and the armor of the heroes of the Lingle Kingdom."

 

It was certainly an axe when Mr./Ms. was using it, and it wouldn't be surprising if it could change into another form.

Mr./Ms., who saw me in surprise and smiled hardened, took a stance while emitting cold air from her sword.

Behind her, four ice swords float.

 

"Well, you already know how I fight with a sword, don't you?"

「…… Great!"

 

This one also creates healing magic bullets in both hands.

They're not serious about each other, but they're still a good match.

After taking a small deep breath, he runs towards Mr./Ms..

 

"Healing magic bullet!"

"Pick them up!"

 

As I ran, the two healing magic bullets I threw and the ice sword that Leona Mr./Ms. released collided in the air.

 

●

 

The same battle as the mock battle we did in Miarak.

The difference was that Mr./Ms., who was opposing Leona, did not hesitate in battle.

I myself am aware that I have grown since then, but on top of that, Leona Mr./Ms. skillfully toys with technology and magic and does not allow me to approach.

While I was delighted with her strength as a hero without hesitation, I was also frustrated with myself for not being able to fully handle the armor of a hero like her.

A few minutes later, she let out a surprised cry as I used my healing accelerating fist to distance myself while squirming at Mr./Ms.'s ice sword.

 

"After a little while, you've started using weird tricks again! You!"

"It's called a healing accelerated fist! This is also a technique that applies the outburst of magical power!"

"I'm sorry! If you ask it now, you'll be confused, so I'll ask you later!"

 

It was treated as a technique that made no sense in a roundabout way.

He tries to close the distance again, but is stopped by a tracking ice sword released by Mr./Ms..

 

"That irregular acceleration is troublesome, but——"

 

Mr./Ms., who held her sword aloft, imbued the blade with magical power.

Looking at the translucent blade that began to emit white cold air, he had a bad premonition.

 

"You're fast on your feet, so this kind of technique is effective, right?"

 

The moment she swung her sword down, a powerful cold magic power was released from the blade.

It spread out to the side and came towards me, freezing the ground.

 

"What!? Healing Magic Bursting Palm!"

 

Even as he bites his face, he releases a shockwave of magic from his palm to prevent the oncoming cold.

However, the cold air was only stopped for a moment, and it was quickly pushed back.

He stepped back and glared at the wall of cold air that still kept his momentum going.

 

"No......!"

 

A torrent of cold air that moves forward while freezing the ground! If this is decided, movement will be restricted!

Even if it is a healing magic bursting palm, it will not be able to stop the cold air properly.

―――Then!!

 

"If you can't do it with a bursting palm, you can strengthen it even more!"

 

He holds his right arm at his waist and creates a magic bullet in his palm.

Normally, the magic bullet that would become so huge that it would contain magic power is applied to the magic power manipulation ability of the gauntlet and the system enhancement, and the magic power is kept at the same size.

 

「? Usato, no matter what you do—"

 

In order to suppress the magic power that is about to overflow, he puts his left hand on the gauntlet.

A magic bullet that overflows green light and distorts its shape.

- Sole, which has been trapped to the limit, is released by sticking out the palm forward.

 

"Huh!"

 

At the same time as the sound of air bursting, the healing magic bullet compressed by the palm exploded, and a shockwave that directly exceeded the healing rupturing palm was released in the form of a fan.

Along with that, a reaction that cannot be compared to the healing rupture palm strikes.

 

"Nu......!"

 

He almost collapses from the impact, but he holds on with energy in his legs.

The green shockwave emitted from the outburst magic bullet pushed back the oncoming cold air and tore away the ice covering the ground.

The green magic particles of healing magic and the shattered ice scattered in the air sparkle in the sun, creating a fantastic scene.

 

"Whew......"

 

Exhale lightly as you lower your palms.

For the sake of it...... You've succeeded.

If the healing punch enhanced is the healing flying fist, then the healing magic bullet is enhanced with this technique?

I tilt my head when I see the green light floating in the air, glowing where I am standing.

 

"Did the magic of the healing magic fly along with the shockwave......

 

Just by being here, there is a feeling that a healing spell is being cast, so it is as if not only the cold air has been canceled out, but the healing magic that has been trapped has also been sprayed into the air.

…… If you use this technique well, you can heal a lot of people without touching them directly.

The effect is drastically reduced, but I think it's quite useful to heal the wound just by being there.

 

"It's a wide-area healing spell, and if I had to name it, it would be either a healing flash or a healing explosion wave......

 

While I was muttering about this while being fascinated by the scenery in front of me, I noticed Mr./Ms. running towards me at a trot.

 

「…… Ahh

 

Mr./Ms., who can use system strengthening, should know how I used the technique earlier.

Well, I ...... you might be again.

I can bear to be angry with Rose, but I can't bear to be angry with Leona Mr./Ms., so I talk to Leona, who approaches me in a frustrated Mr./Ms..

 

"Oh, uh, uh, Leona Mr./Ms. this is ......."

"Usato, can you remove the gauntlet on your right arm?"

"Yes."

 

I did as I was told, and Mr./Ms. grabbed my wrist and looked at my entire right arm.

After a dozen seconds or so, she stroked her chest reassuringly.

 

"Good, there seems to be no injury."

"What?"

"It's such a skill, and it could have seriously injured you. I've checked it out."

"Oh, aren't you angry? I'm ...... about that technique just now."

"I'm not angry...... I'm not going to argue with you the way you do things. Generally speaking, the technology you use is too dangerous, but the application and idea are something that only you can do."

 

Mr./Ms. Leona smiled wryly as she removed her hand from her right arm.

 

"Then what I need to do is not to condemn you, but to help you and encourage your growth as a user of the same lineage enhancement."

"Leona Mr./Ms......."

"Well, I was surprised by your technique earlier......"

 

As I feel the excitement of her saying this while looking embarrassed, I notice two signs approaching the training ground where we are.

Apparently, Senpai and Kazuki came.

 

"Oh my gosh, Usato-ku--why is there diamond dust flying even though it's not cold!? And it's glowing green!"

"Oh, it's beautiful."

 

First of all, I have to explain the current situation to the two of them.

For the time being, he joined up with his senpai and Kazuki, and briefly explained that he had been doing mock battles and that he had created the scene that he has now as part of it.

The senior said, "I should have come sooner......!" He seemed to be very frustrated.

After that, it was decided to train to make the magic elastic as planned in advance.

 

"What do you think, Kazuki?"

 

He shows Kazuki the magic bullet created in his palm covered with a gauntlet.

I haven't even found a clue yet, but if Kazuki takes a look, I might be able to figure something out.

 

"It may be that Usato is creating this magic power in the way of strengthening the lineage."

"What, why not?"

"What can I say......

 

With a hand on his chin and a twist on his neck, Kazuki utters his words stuttering as a magic bullet floats in his palm.

 

"If you compare this magic bullet to a water bowl, and the magic power you pour into it is water, then after exceeding the allowable amount of this water bowl, pouring water so that it does not break is a system strengthening."

"Yes."

"So, what do you mean by making magic resilient...... It's a puzzle, so to speak. The shapes are perfectly aligned so that there are no gaps between the magical powers, and they are woven and stacked in multiple layers...... It's a feeling......

 

Saying this, Kazuki's voice gradually became quieter, and he began to visibly become depressed.

 

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at explaining."

"No, no, it's okay because I know somehow!"

 

He follows Kazuki, who shrugs his shoulders.

To be honest, I could imagine the parts, but I didn't understand the important part.

I was ashamed of my comprehension, but Mr./Ms. and my senior, who were listening next to me, nodded in agreement.

 

"Make magic resilient...... No, it's long, so I call it elasticity. That resiliency and lineage enhancement are different from the initial steps to get there, right?"

"That's right...... Is it?"

"Hmm, Kazuki-dono seems to be a sentient person."

 

Like Kazuki, I tilt my head.

Then Mr./Ms. turned to me.

 

"Usato, Kazuki-dono's magic starts out differently than ordinary magic. It's easier to say that it's not just released from the body, but it's made up of its contents."

"Isn't it different from just emitting magic?"

"Ah, Kazuki-dono, Suzune-dono, can you make a magic bullet for a test?"

"Oh, yes."

"Got it."

 

At Leona's Mr./Ms.'s request, Kazuki creates a magic bullet.

If you look closely, you can see that the sphere is formed by engulfing the magic power in the center.

On the other hand, the senior's magic bullets were familiar to me, and the mass of magic that overflowed from my palm was solidifying as if it were being fleshed out.

 

"Can you tell the difference?"

"Yes!"

"In order to release magic power normally, the contents are empty, but the magic power that has content can actually be said to be the magic power that has been created."

 

Did you start at a different point in the first place?

I used to let my senses release magic, but from now on, I'll have to be aware of that as well.

 

"Kazuki-sama, I heard that you have learned to strengthen your lineage...... I think you've had a lot of trouble getting the lineage to go through it, haven't you?"

"Oh, yes, I finally succeeded in getting the gauntlet of Master Falga."

 

How did you know!? Kazuki is surprised by such a feeling.

Leona Mr./Ms. nods in agreement.

 

"I thought it was strange that someone as skilled at handling magic as you hadn't succeeded in strengthening the lineage...... It's such a precise magic. Even if I tried to strengthen the lineage, there would have been no room for the magic power that I would inherit."

"So, was it just a failure...... I didn't know ......."

 

Because it was too precise, it was not possible to strengthen the system.

It's amazing that you can see through it right away, but most of all, it's amazing that the teaching method is so easy to understand.

I think it's still pretty good at the point where I can keep up with the story.

 

"Usato-kun, did you get anything?"

"It's kind of hazy."

 

I stand up while replying to the senior who spoke to me.

I understand the principle.

The question is whether I can perform the outstanding magic manipulation that Kazuki would have unconsciously done, but I can only manage it with the power and perseverance of the gauntlet.

 

"I'll try it first, and then I'll do it."

"That dedication is exactly Usato-kun.

 

What is it that my seniors say?

For some reason, the senior who is muttering happily is about to lose the strength in his legs, and he raises his right arm, which is covered with a gauntlet.

I don't think there's any danger, but if something happens, Leona Mr./Ms. will stop it.

With that in mind, I closed my eyes and focused on manipulating my magic.

As soon as Nea was gone, it was Usato, who started to devise strange techniques.

It may be the first wide-area healing magic.

 

I decided on the candidate technique name by intuition (usual)
