Siegfried thought. I wanted to get away from the most disgusting thing, but now it’s a series of embarrassment.
It was the same for Asili, but after thinking about it for a while, I decided to accept it as it was not particularly embarrassing. Asilier’s reaction made Siegfried even more bewildered.
“Isn’t this embarrassing?”
Could it be that the cadets carefully selected from the Imperial Academy and Itthiel Kingdom Academy standing next to the elite troops dispatched from the Empire mean something completely different from what I knew? Is it like the old tradition that students sent letters to soldiers?
No matter how much the purpose of the academy is ultimately to train elite combatants, I wonder if this is too much. At Siegfried’s question, which had mixed feelings, Asillie, who had quickly regained her composure this time, rolled her eyes in confusion on the contrary, then opened her mouth. .
“Yeah, you’re the same age as Eldy, right?”
“Ah...”
It was a difficult answer to understand, but at the same time it was an answer that had no choice but to be accepted.
Still, the sight of Siegfried looking away to get a common sense reaction somehow made Eselua, who was by his side, burst into laughter. Anyone who didn’t know them would think that the age difference between Siegfried and them was more than ten years.
“How much does it cost to train them, but I’ll blindly drive them to death. We’re guaranteeing a certain victory in this battle, so we’re putting them into practice for the experience.”
Even though they are still young, most of them are adults over the age of 16, and they have been learning the curriculum for more than 3 years, which has changed dramatically in several years since the war with the Demon King’s Army. From rear support to direct combat, if you compare the amount of knowledge, only the students who stand out among the students who are comparable to the officers are selected.
Rather, it was a bigger problem if they did not play an active part on the front line. It is said that the investment that has been carried out under the name of education so far is just a waste of money.
“We’ve also figured out the trend of the master level and are fully prepared, so don’t worry too much.”
“Well... if it was stupid, Esmuer would have stopped it.”
Asilie, who was in the most uncomfortable situation of standing on a high platform and looking down at Siegfried just because she accompanied Siegfried, looked over at the students while listening to the conversation between the two, and noticed the familiar platinum hair.
Standing with a helmet on her side, dressed in armor that Asilie had never seen before, Cheryl stood ahead of the other students. Next to him, a large young man and a young man who looked like he might have a plan were standing like an adjutant and reporting various things, and Cheryl seemed to be giving instructions as she listened to them.
Then, Cheryl accidentally turned her head and found Asillie. Even though it was all a small nod of the head and a greeting, for some reason, it gave me the feeling that the reason for participating in this operation was the same as he was.
...I grew up to be a man with many sins. According to Eldmia herself, she must have already grown up.
“...So, this time we will be moving to Levien via the newly created Ogwen’s Gate.”
Ascillie, who belatedly realized that the story was going on during the brief sentimental moment, returned to Siegfried and Eselua. Fortunately, I didn’t seem to have missed many stories, probably because I had just started explaining them.
The armor, which was made at the Empire’s technical window and placed in her hand under Esmuer’s instructions, showed excellent performance even though it was still a test piece.
Although it had the terrible prerequisites of having to be more proficient with mana than aura to operate it properly, requiring a separate fuel tank with mana, and continuing the calculation as if using magic all the time.
“How is the ‘Battery’?”
“It looks like we only need to replace two... I’ll instruct the wizards to recharge them.”
Ragnis lay down on the bed while watching Lenissa open the armor on his back, take out four cylinders that were said to have been made inspired by the unique magic used by the Empire’s warriors, and check them skillfully. It was more airtight than standard full body armor, so I was sweaty all over, but I was too tired to care about that.
“It’s getting more and more efficient.”
“Yeah. There are some things you get used to using, and there are things that I can’t say with my own mouth, but my skills improve.”
It had already been two weeks since he had been working with the flying dragon knights to preserve as much troops as possible for this operation. At first, the battery hit the bottom with just one battle, but the amount consumed is decreasing day by day.
In the meantime, the fact that there was a time when he was kidnapped by Delt and carried on a flying dragon like a burden in the past has become so proficient in dragon climbing that it is difficult for himself to believe, and his skills are increasing day by day. It was clear that such a change would surprise Eldmia, who faced her again.
“You’ll be more surprised by the increased muscles than your skills.”
“...That, is it ugly?”
“I didn’t mean that. Compared to the days when I only had bones and flesh, it’s rather healthy and nice to look at.”
It was a bit embarrassing, but I managed to get over it because it was Lenisa, who already knew everything.
As she said, her body changed as much as her fighting ability. In a way, it was a natural result to run around wearing a full body armor like that every day.
“Huh, I’m sure I’ve changed more than Eldmia this time.”
“...Well, it’s a bit embarrassing to say things like this now, but don’t you worry?”
“Which one?”
“Eldmia-sama. Didn’t you go alone in the middle of the demons? You’re the one who left behind great feats in many ways...”
This time, it was different. Thinking that she would have understood the meaning even if she didn’t finish her words, Lenissa kept her mouth shut, and Ragnis smiled as he lay on the bed.
“There’s nothing else to worry about. Are you worried about Eldmia?”
He used to worry about that too, but not anymore.
If I jumped into the castle right away, I wouldn’t know, because it was clear that I would come back safely as long as I jumped in to protect people.
