124 Episode 34 "Valen-Stillen"

I approached Valen while avoiding a single strike of red paper.

"... hey"

At first, Valen's spare expression gradually revealed an impatient color.

Users of belts can't predict when and where to use magic. It's not a good idea to get close by accident - it doesn't matter if you don't give the opponent any clearance to attack.

You must have the same level of proficiency in body strengthening magic "toughness". But the technology of melee warfare seems to lead me up.

Half a step back and a short distance away, Valen fires a "Flame Cannon" from his palm.

But the painful blow made it easy to read the radiation. Dodge the shelling with minimal movement and shake through the Dagger created by Materialization.

"Seriously, this guy!!

Turning his body, Valen avoided the blade.

The blade that was supposed to poke his shoulder ends with a slight slash on Valen's cheek.

As the barren retreated significantly, so did I.

Keep your breathing at a distance.

"No matter how high the wearing technique is, the technician who uses it is human.... even the corner technology can't be used with disturbed thinking."

"... hah!

Valen laughs.

And put your hands above your head.

"Don't lick me."

The next moment, the shelling approached from all directions.

Compared to the previous day, the power and speed are quite different. I didn't know you were still hiding so much power... jumping backwards diagonally quickly to avoid it.

The shelling grabbed my left ankle and I felt burning pain.

"... not only did you wear magic, but you also wore it to that orbit?"

"Oh, you know that just once."

It's an unusual skill.

Originally, the use of a belt is unusual - I may have never seen anyone use it so much.

"... I think we can talk a little bit."

Valen said in a small voice.

With the reward from earlier, it seems that Valen's mouth has lightened somewhat because he admitted to me.

"Why would I do this...?"

With her hands on her hips, Valen murmured.

"Don't you think it's not enough?

Valen kept asking me what the question meant, wrinkling between her eyebrows.

"Did you know that three of the students at Builders College took part in the war ahead?

"... ahh. You're one of them."

There were three students who took part in the war.

The current student president is Ix-Duright, his sister Fleur-Duright, and Valen-Stillen in front of her.

"It's not open to the public... but it was just a cut. The kingdom was preparing for our next deployment, after our participation in the war."

Next march.

Listening to the disturbing words Baleen said to me, I realize that there is a possibility.

"- Conscript?"

"That's right. It's also exclusive to our school."

It was something I had never heard of.

But it's possible.

Originally, the students at Builders School were chosen and trained fierce men. It was now possible to become a student by simply selecting documents, but since only the Heroics Department existed at the time, I could not become a student unless I passed the fierce exam that Elicia and I went through.

If this country considers conscription, it will be the Builders School students who will be expected to be the first to fight. Definitely more powerful than a bad adult.

"Fortunately, the war ended sooner than planned and no conscription orders were issued. But... we were at war before, and we saw hell."

With an angry, murderous voice, Valen says.

"Killed many people, nearly killed many times. Still, Ikes and I were able to survive. But... Frau is dead.... we weren't ready. And even this country, which had to rely on us, doesn't have enough sense of crisis."

The voice of Valen was filled with regrets that could not be concealed.

I don't even know how you feel. I have also experienced that hell and lost countless of my people. But I was only prepared because I was raised as an instrument of war from the beginning. I never regretted anything like Valen.

"... but the war will already be over."

"How can you say that?"

Valen speaks sharply.

"You have no idea when the 5th War of the Brave will happen."

The word alone was an indisputable truth.

There are various theories about when the War of the Brave Magic begins. However, none of them has been confirmed. So, in the end, the human side is always forced to deal with the back side.

"It's too late for the war. In fact, the world today is still unstable. I don't know what's going to happen.... the great gentleman of the country may have been distracted a long time ago, but such an alarmist wrinkle is coming to us!!

Valen exposed the anger that had accumulated in her chest.

Barren is right, the demon king is still in an unstable situation. There is no doubt that just one student moving around in the back allows agents from other countries to infiltrate the Royal School.

"That's why I'm going to burn this country once more with a clear sense of crisis.... before the incapacitated take a seat at the beginning of the peace."

Valen's idea was radical, but he couldn't deny it all.

In fact, many people are looking to take advantage of the initial peace to reap new benefits. Depending on the way of thinking, the management team of the school that approved the establishment of the general school will also be part of it. More than half of them must be turning away from the current volatile situation.

"... I understand the logic."

At least Valen isn't acting without thinking.

"But in that way, too much sacrifice was made."

Remember last night's battle and tell him.

You've done so much damage in the city - you've made innocent people suffer, and what a sense of danger. Hypocrisy can be extremely annoying if it is enlarged to this extent.

"I'd like you to cool your head down in a gentle way if possible... but it looks harsh."

"Ha! Don't you get it?

Ballen laughs in a good mood.

"Knowing the belt means you understand the character of this guy, right?

With an unbelievable smile on his face, Valen asked.

"Wearing a belt is not a technique for shooting out the magic you wear... it is a technique for wearing (...) all kinds of magic. The more sophisticated the magic, and the higher the number that wraps around at the same time, the more powerful the belt will be."

The bee and Valen's palm are charged.

The lightning flashed all over Valen in no time. It's as if the body is overflowing with power from the vessel.

"My maximum number of belts is eight. --I 'm not proud of it, but I've never seen anyone like me."
