169 Lesson 154

Having completed the journey report, we were to train with Kazuki and Frana and were moving to the training ground on the castle grounds.

When I went to the training ground with Amako, Nair, Kazuki and Mr. Flana, fortunately there were no people there.

I guess it's a time when the other knights aren't training. It was convenient inside to be able to train spaciously, not caring around.

"What kind of training does Kazuki always do?"

"Muscle tread, sword swing, and basic magic training."

When I asked Kazuki, who is in a preparatory movement with me, he returned an unexpected answer in a way.

I was a little surprised I had surprisingly solid training.

"Welsey says, building the foundation is the best shortcut! Apparently."

"The foundation of magic..."

I learned healing magic almost with gut theory, so you don't really understand the foundation of magic.

... through my training with Kazuki today, I may have something to gain.

"What kind of training does Usat have?"

"Huh? I... you know, you're even running and muscle-treating."

"Amako, you can say things."

"Yeah. Even though the contents are almost separate"

That's weird, you little animals in the back.

Staring at Amako and Nair sitting in the plains under the shade of a tree.

"Well, then you're just like me! No, you're training harder than me because you're talking about Usat!"

"Well, I guess..."

Hey, don't be kind of lighted.

Behind you! Kazuki's not brainwashed!

As Kazuki was silently skipping the pressure behind her so that she wouldn't notice, Kazuki was speaking to Frana next door.

"Flana, are you not feeling well?"

"Ha!? Yeah, I'm fine"

"... really? If you don't feel well, ask Usat --"

"I'm fine, me! I'm so well already that I want to run out now!?"

"Ooh?"

Kazuki is also surprised by Frana, who raised her face bah and began to step on her feet with a full smile.

But soon after blushing at her statement and smiling bitterly at her for leaning over, Kazuki lurked her voice and spoke to me.

"I haven't even known Usat for a while yet, so maybe I'm having trouble feeling distance"

"Huh?"

"She didn't know the outside world in a good or a bad way. I think I'm afraid of something I don't know."

I mean, does Frana have something like a bad feeling about me?

I'm a little shocked, but considering how I reacted the first time I met you, there's a verse that comes to mind.

"Well, what shall we do..."

"I don't mind as usual. Even if I fix it weird, I'm going to find out about Usat by mistake. I don't like that either."

Reduce anything that sticks up to a light-hearted, laughing kazuki.

These kinds of interactions come to me fresh because I've often not been donned or even treated like a human lately.

When I am heartily moved, Kazuki continues to speak out after finishing the prep movement.

"Well, I'm done with the prep exercise, and I just want to get into training, but what do we do, Usat? I'm sorry to have boulders go along with my training..."

"How about some magic training? I have some thoughts about my magic, too."

Instead, since the battle with Koga, you've only been thinking about moves for battle.

Go home to your beginner here... No, not when you go home to your beginner. That brings me back to when I was in training hell where I even keep healing myself.

Feeling like exploring a new frontier, it's also ant to try to face his healing magic again.

"Magic. Is that okay with Flana?"

"I don't mind."

Kazuki takes an understanding of Mr. Flana and steps into the training ground.

I'll follow him to a big place where I can practice magic.

The training grounds are available for magic and bow and arrow hitting exercises, and the size is inside, so it seems okay to use magic to the fullest.

"Let's show each magic first. If we don't know each other's magic, we're not in training."

"So is that. Then I'll show you the magic first."

Kazuki, who snorted at Mr. Flana's words, is about ten meters away from me.

"... Okay, let's do it"

Taking a slow, deep breath, Kazuki overflowed with white, shining magic from both hands.

Fluorescently pale and radiant magic gradually forms into a magic bullet about the size of a dozen ping-pong balls, floating fluffy over his hands.

Kazuki looked up at the sky without looking at hand, and the magic bullet in his palm launched simultaneously.

The launched magic bullets line up in circular and star shapes in the air, each showing movement like another creature to form various shapes.

……

What's so amazing about this is that Kazuki, looking up at the sky, literally doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I'm just looking at the sky, my hands are down, and I don't have any strength in my shoulders.

He manipulates more than a dozen magic bullets like his own hands and feet, as if it could be taken for granted.

Unexpectedly, Nair, transformed into an owl figure, flew over my shoulder.

"I knew brave men had unusual strength. Just at first glance, I knew I wasn't like normal people... but this isn't really human business"

"Is that what you think it is?"

"Yeah, it's a monster in a different way from you."

I'm not allowed to treat Kazuki like a monster anyway.

As she protested that way against Nair over her shoulder, Mr. Flana was speaking to Kazuki.

"You're as beautiful as ever. Kazuki's magic."

"Hmm? Really? From me, it's just dangerous magic."

Yes, Kazuki answers Mr. Flana.

The gaze remains fixed in the air, but talking normally doesn't disturb any magic bullet movement.

This isn't about concentration or anything anymore.

Even admiring him, Kazuki spoke with a hazy look on his face. The look also seems nervous somewhere.

"What do you say, Usat? My magic."

"No, no, I can't find a word but amazing. How can I be like that... yes! Can you manipulate magic naturally?"

I have myself tense without even being in the pattern.

In response to my reaction, Kazuki held his head down so that he could illuminate it, putting the magic bullet that kept moving overhead back on his hands.

"What I'm aware of when it comes to magic is that it's natural."

"Being natural?"

"Oh, it feels like you're moving your hands and feet instead of manipulating your magic."

That said, it combines multiple magic bullets of the palm, forming an exquisite sword.

"Welsey appreciated this technology as a“ new form of magic. "It's not that big of a deal... haha"

If phylogenetic enhancement is the magical depths, then Kazuki's is one form ahead of the most powerful manipulation, I guess.

The technology he gained ahead of him, with the qualities of a brave man, who has even laid the foundations.

... Wow, that's cool.

"What else can you do with that move?"

"Let the sword wrap around you and strengthen you, surround your enemies and launch you... you can do a lot of things"

"It's more of anything than a lot of things. I still remember the one who left the surrounding of the bulimic monster to anger to wipe out charcoal in an instant. Well, my arm got scratched because of that..."

"Oh, don't say that in front of Usat! I wasn't really supposed to use it that dangerous!"

If you want to do it, it seems like you can do quite a bit of nagging.

But did Kazuki leave it to anger to attack? There doesn't seem to be a scratch on his arm that he was injured... but I guess it was a pretty tough situation.

"What did Kazuki do then? Frana."

"I had the magic of light wrapped around my left arm, releasing it as it was. It wasn't like the usual Kazuki magic, but it was brilliant."

Unleash magic.

It's not surprising in itself, but the problem is that Kazuki's light magic hurt himself, the user.

Possible possibilities are….

"Kazuki, did you use pedigree enhancement?"

"Oh, uh... yeah, right. I was still practicing, but I had to use it because it was a dangerous situation..."

"No, I'm not mad at you. I'm more dangerous when it comes to strengthening the system. [M] From what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be a scratch on my arm, and I'm relieved."

"Usato......"

I'm not in a position to say anything about strengthening the system.

Instead, you'd be sure to be on the offending side one way or the other.

"You were aware you were doing something dangerous."

"That's right. Usato's doing worse."

It's a bad thing. You don't know too much about it.

Ignoring the words of the small animal on his shoulder and behind him, Mr. Flana has spoken to him.

"Maybe Usat can use system strengthening?"

"I can use it, but my pedigree enhancement isn't that powerful. Rather, it only improves healing, so you don't have any attack power."

"Hit him instead."

Amako, who smiled and turned her back and fired her healing rifle, had been in the shade until earlier, had already moved about ten meters away from me.

The very small magic bullet released comes off.

Chip, is it out of range?

"Duh, what's wrong? Suddenly turn around..."

"... haha, nothing"

I delude myself laughing at Frana, who is surprised by my sudden behavior.

I didn't expect you to stir me up after reading my movements with predictive magic... don't do it, Amako.

"I showed you my magic for now, but what do we do next?"

"Oh, I'll show Usat the magic next time. After Usat on the boulder, you'll lose your fun."

"I don't think so..."

Frana, who said so and walked out a step ago, showed me both hands to show me.

Purple magic emanates from the palms, enveloping both arms.

"Purple magic? Don't look at it the first time..."

"That sounds a little weird. It doesn't seem like some kind of magic used to attack."

Me and Nair share their thoughts.

"My phylogenetic magic is a phantom. It's magic that can show them illusions."

"Do you show illusions? That's demon-eyed...?"

"Haha, that's not so powerful, but that would be more user-friendly. My phantom magic shows the phantom to those who have been attacked by my magic."

"Hmm? Hmm?"

Show the magic attacker the illusion?

You seem to know what it means, you don't.

It's a little regrettable that Nair is reacting like she understood something.

"Haha, you're confused by the good looks. Bye --"

"Oh, man. Flana!"

The moment Kazuki tried to stop me, Mr. Flana put her hand on my shoulder.

Moments, magic is shed from her, something like a shadow appears in front of her...... before, scratches off.

"... yeah? There's something out there, but it's gone?"

"Didn't you see that?"

"The shadow only appeared for a moment, but it disappeared quickly."

"Hmm? That's crazy... if you're defenseless, it'll take a while..."

Did you suddenly try to show me the illusion? I don't mind putting an illusion on me, but I was hoping you'd say a word or so.

Do you feel like showing illusions to someone who has seen and touched purple magic?

But why didn't I?

When in doubt, Nair speaks to Frana, who is wolfy with a grumpy voice.

"Simply because his mental power is a monster. At least this guy will be deactivated for a normal psychic attack."

"Hey, why are you even spiritual! This guy!?"

"I was fine with eating a hundred units of soul mental attack. Now, it doesn't work like a personal illusion."

I put my arms together like Kazuki was impressed with Nair's words.

"It's amazing. I can't believe Flana's illusion doesn't work. When I was first hit, I was amazed..."

"Kazuki, notice! Because ordinary people don't unconsciously resist mental attacks!"

"You mean Usat's better than normal, right? That's how many training grounds you dive, and that's not weird."

"What is this unusual trust!? I'm a little scared, Kazuki!"

Even though Flana protests with slight tears, Kazuki at the moment simply tilts his neck.

You didn't think coming here and a mental attack from Samaritan's souls would help.

"Frana, I'm sorry about something"

"And anyway, I show you the illusion, right? Don't get up. Relax."

"Wow, okay..."

To show you the illusion, I don't think that's what it means to be relaxed.

When you take a gentle, deep breath and calm your spirit, a black figure reappears in front of you. As I slowly became clearer, with a bad feeling, I speak to Frana, who is desperately trying to enchant me.

"What's the illusion?"

"Hmm, the scariest thing you think?"

Horrible? Osolosi...?

My defensive instincts worked the moment I remembered Evil Dragon, Ghost, Dragon Man Mr. Caron, Koga, and then the shadow in front of me tried to turn into a long-haired woman.

"Nooo!"

"Ah! My magic has been undone again!"

Feel all over your body before the shadow in front of you exposes you to its full appearance, undoing the illusion.

"Why are you resisting!?"

"My body refused to see the illusion..."

"Why, you sent all the magic you could... is this man really human...?"

I'm confident that evil dragons and ghosts or something can still keep me calm, but Rose can't.

Besides, the illusion I tried to see was definitely Rose on the verge of being magical.

"Usato, why didn't you do it under illusion? That's good enough."

"Nair. What if all of a sudden a captain in a magical state appears in front of you?"

"I'm sorry. I can't help that."

You seem to understand. More than anything.

To Nair with a blue face, yeah nodding.

In the meantime, I decided to cheer up Frana, who was about to lose her confidence, with Kazuki, and have her show me another illusion.

The illusion you showed me is my favorite.

What turned out to be... Yeah, I found that my training was stained with deep consciousness. I had no idea the tools and burrins used for training would show up.

"So, is it my turn at the end? It's a little plain, but I think I'll do a system enhancement."

The goal is to reduce the time it takes to activate the system enhancement.

The shorter it takes to activate, the more it can also compensate for the gap caused by reduced healing power over itself, a disadvantage of strengthening the healing magic lineage.

"Eh, that's plain for Usato. Don't you have to show off that new trick that doubts common sense?"

"New moves to doubt common sense…?"

Did you hear Nair's words, Mr. Flana, trembling on his shoulders and falling back?

Hey, healing flying fists out here could be donned not only by Mr. Flana, but also by Kazuki.

Smile at Nair on the shoulder.

"Nair, if you say anything extra, you're gonna get involved in training."

"Yes! Shut the fuck up!"

If you know what I mean.

After hitting the nail on Nair, he turns to Kazuki and Mr. Flana.

"Well, then I'll try to strengthen the pedigree."

"Honestly, this is the first time you've seen system strengthening up close. I never saw a user on my journey."

"Oh, yeah. I'll show you as much as I want."

We need to set an example to strengthen Kazuki's lineage.

That's what I thought, and when I tried to focus my consciousness to activate system strengthening, I looked outside the training ground.

Because I felt like a familiar voice calling my name.

"Hmm?"

"Oosato-kun!"

The next moment, there was so much light and shock in front of us that it was mistaken for thunder.

I barely understood who it was from the shadow I could chase with my eyes, and I was more convinced than surprised.

"Senior, can't you come any quieter...?"

"Wasted the moment I left!? You can be a little more surprised!"

The seniors, who appeared with electric shock, rushed over here in response to my reaction.

Nair on the back face and shoulder doesn't even seem to have a voice in the sudden appearance of a senior. I am also honestly surprised by the appearance of my predecessors.

It felt like I saw it, it literally moved “like thunder”.

"When I asked the lifeguard, I was surprised to hear that you were coming to the castle. If you're coming, you can tell me..."

"That's why you don't have to appear this way..."

"Usat, it didn't seem like you were in a certain position, and I was in a hurry"

Shit, it's not.

Is that it? Do they think I'm constantly moving around during the day?

"So, what's everybody doing here?"

"It's training. At Kazuki's suggestion, we're going to be talking about training magic together... Do you want to join seniors?"

"Yeah!"

Wow, that's a great smile.

With a bitter smile at the same senior, the four of us who added her were to train.

It hadn't even actually started yet, so maybe the seniors came just in time.

"Suzune, how did you get here now? It looked like something was wrapped in an electric shock..."

"Hmm? Oh, my new moves, they're more like combat styles."

"Combat, style?"

"I knitted it with reference to thunder beasts, not manipulating thunder, but strengthening myself with thunder itself. It's still unfinished and can only be used for about ten seconds."

"Is that from the lifeguard to here? I think we had quite a distance..."

"That's about the distance, you can run through it with an easy win! Usato, don't let you get away with this!"

I'm just having trouble being told that while I'm thumbed up.

Instead, you're wearing an awesome move, albeit limited to ten seconds. Besides, what can I say that it was knitted with reference to thunderbeasts......

"That's cool"

"You bet! I bet you are! I secretly call this' Demon Costume/Thunderbeast Mode ', I wonder!?"

"Nice!"

"You know what I mean! The walnuts laughed at me with their noses!"

Senior, you're exploding too much sense...!

How can you think of such a cool name like Demon Costume/Thunderbeast Mode?

I'm gonna take my hat off that naming sense...!

"Kazuki, no way is Suzune..."

"Oh, you know what I mean? Actually, it is."

"Heh, that suzune... could be a little surprising"

For some reason, Frana leaks an emotional sounding voice as she looks at me, Kazuki watching me and my senior with warm eyes, and Nair and Amako looking at me with a flipped, chilled eye.

With such a gaze, I enjoyed my daily routine with my friends for the first time in a long time.
