108 Eighteen Tales: Shooting Down

Reminds me of the battlefield of the Fourth Brave Demon War.

The Russian Empire was also in that war. I don't know much about them, but I do know some way to fight them.

The army of the Lucian Empire is a combination of simple soldiers and ruthless commanders.

Soldiers' abilities are easy to understand and often specialize in some skill depending on the circumstances. Soldiers on the front line are thoroughly training their bodies and spirits, and when spies who send them to enemy countries have to be good at acting anyway, they self-determination without fear.

The Lucian Empire can be described as a nation that cultivates experts (...) well.

Commander's arm had been bought, especially in the war. Their manoeuvres, using a large number of experts, are solid anyway and can always yield reliable results.

But on the other hand - weakness is exposed when the operation comes off.

Normally, the experts are dispatched to battlefields that make use of their respective areas of specialty, but their local skills are as useless as if the operation were to come off and find itself in a totally misguided situation.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Empire are obedient to orders, while there is also the aspect that they are not very good at making personal decisions that absolutely regard the commander. It is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers who have lost their heads will weaken at once.

Quick story, fighting soldiers in the Lucian Empire is only about smashing heads and confusing them.

"... look for your head"

The number of intruders that could be identified is four. The head count would be about ten.

There must be more leaders than a few troops. Find the man first.

- Is that it?

Five minutes later.

Hidden on the roof of the school building, I found the enemy leader and the man of thought.

He was a tall man in a coat. Next to it is one soldier who seems to be an escort. These two had always acted without ever leaving earlier.

A tall man accidentally reaches inside his jacket and removes' communication paper 'from inside.

Have you finished your work?

Apparently, he's communicating with other people.

"Squad B is delayed. I need your help."

That's what I told him. The man cut off the correspondence.

And also head somewhere with the escort guy beside you.

- Can't you separate those two?

I guess they also grasp their weaknesses.

Perhaps the man in the correspondence is the leader of the unit, but there's another man all the way around to protect him.

But no problem.

The Russian Empire is not the only one who can create experts.

- "Ligament."

Circulate magic throughout your body to greatly improve your physical abilities.

Shortly afterwards, he quickly fleshed out to the pair.

"Huh!?

"Who are you?"

Two men turn around, while swinging through the blade of magic stretched thinly in Materialization.

"Shit!?

One of the men avoided it by turning himself over.

Another man is also painfully avoided by giving in, but is upset or out of shape.

"but students!?

The intruders were stunned when they saw me in the Builders School uniform.

Slap the palm bottom into the nose of a surprised man and grab that chest barn.

"Ku - don't lick it!

I'm not licking it. I'm not licking it, so let me handle it quickly.

Avoiding a kick back, I quickly paid my feet to let the man roll. The body of the man who was paid his leg floats in the universe only for a moment. At that moment, I pinched the floating man and saw the leader.

"... you're hands-on"

The leader man, who told him so briefly, abandoned his people and began his immediate escape.

I guess I'm confident that my buddy's man won't throw up any information when he's tortured. That cleanliness is admirable, but - I'm not going to miss you.

"It's no use running away. The land is here."

He steps on the pigeon tail of the man who fell to the ground, stuns him, and then follows the man who escaped.

I know the school environment better. It's impossible to hide and spend time.

- Where are you headed?

The man is heading somewhere without hesitation. I was concerned about the destination.

The man who activated Ligament, like me, jumps over the bush with a quick move and enters the warehouse where the tools of the competition festival are stored.

After considering the possibility of a trap, suddenly, a great shadow poured out of his head.

"... 'Wingboard'?"

The man who took away his magic gear to fly in the sky had a winning grin at a moment unlike me.

The man skies straight away and leaves me.

It's bad to be able to escape outside the school like this.

"I have no choice..."

If I had BF28 on hand, I would have easily defeated them with Sniping.

But I'm a student now. There are no weapons that the agency has prepared for me.

So - I've mastered what will replace it.

I thought it would come in handy someday, but I didn't expect that opportunity to come so soon.

"- Barrier

Deploy walls at your feet to prevent any kind of magic attack.

Originally, Barriers are vulnerable to physical shocks. However, when I have become more intelligent in compression, I can compress the Barrier to the extreme to increase hardness.

The compressed Barrier has a durability that cannot be broken by a semi-saving impact instead of being smaller.

I scaffolded it and ran up to the universe.

"Become!? Ku, get in the air -!?

The man opened his eyes to me scaffolding one barrier after another and running through the universe. Combined with "Ligament," he immediately catches up with a man at a speed higher than "Wingboard".

- "Aerial Corridor (Aerial)".

But shall I name it?

This magic based on Dr. Sylphia's ideas seems more versatile than you might imagine.

"Guh!?

Slap a kick in the back of the man's head and drop it off the 'wingboard'.

He jumped on the 'wingboard', which had gone out of control, and slowly went down to the ground when he saw a falling man slapped to the ground without even taking a passive.

"Ugh, gu..."

"Answer the question."

Approaching the groaning man, I ask.

"How many more people are there?

"Huh... I don't know, that's not true"

I didn't think you'd answer anyway.

Interrogation and torture take time, and that's not the job I'm supposed to do right now.

"Who are you... just a student..."

"I'm just a student."

Punch your fist into a man's belly and stun him.

Who should be entrusted with post-processing? It's the quickest way to ask Chris, but you might want to report it to the student council, which is responsible for security in the school.

That's when I heard things coming from right next door.

If you look at it, two men are looking at this one with their vigilance exposed. Remnants.

"Shit!!

The two saw a man fall at my feet and turned back on his heels with a severe tongue slap.

"Let him go."

At this speed, I'll catch up with you soon.

Calm down, filling the distance for sure - the next moment, there was a fierce roar in front of me.

"What's that...?

Billy and the atmosphere are shaking whether it was also activated by massive magic.

Apparently something has been released from the heads of the operatives. The two men who took that direct hit are lying down on the ground.

As I narrowed my eyes to the winding dust, I noticed that the shadow was standing.

"- Am I right? Who is it, huh?

There he was, a red-haired man wearing a heroic uniform.
