274 Episode 274: Unstoppable Upward Spirits

◆Nagibelt Kirks◆

So the seal was safe, then?

Upon receiving an urgent report from Zenzar, His Majesty the King confirms to him with a difficult face.

Only those who knew the true reason for the establishment of the Magic Academy were here, including Tsubaki.

"Hah, a large number of demons attacked the school, but fortunately the seal was safe."

I heard that the demon attacked the fruit of the Magic Academy, but isn't that the purpose of it?

The Chancellor leans back at the strangeness of the demon's actions.

"No, that's not necessarily true." It could have disrupted the school and watched us react. ”

It was the nobility of the clan that continued from the time of the founding of the nation, although it was not the high ranks that challenged it.

His ancestors had cooperated in the establishment of the Magic Academy, and his descendants knew about the seal.

“I think so too. Dream, ah, no, I almost went to check the seal once, too. As a result, I used my place alone and was attacked by a group of demons and almost died."

And Zenzar agrees.

More than anyone else, he dared to stop himself from approaching the seal, realizing the possibility of an orgy.

Isn't that a rather sober decision?

"I'm also concerned about the demon, but I didn't expect one of the students to become a monster..."

His Majesty's words change the indoor air.

"It was definitely the son of the Venec family." I've never heard of blood flowing from a different race..... "

"No, according to the staff and students on the scene, his transformed appearance was very alien to him. I wasn't at the scene, so I don't know the details, but the training ground where the exam was being conducted was messed up, and it was done by him alone.”

"That school's training ground was supposed to be quite sturdy at the same time as the magic test ground." even though it's the chief, it's destroyed by the magic of one student.... "

He's right, the Magic Academy's training grounds, especially the things hidden under the soil, are stronger than they look.

It was a lid to protect the magic items that supplied magic power to the seal.

It was unfortunate that the damage to the basement was less than the damage to the surrounding facilities.

"But it's true that it was quite rough." I heard that he was transformed into a monster and exercised his magic without casting any spells. "

No casting magic!?

“It doesn't matter now. So what happened to the student?"

"Yes, fortunately, some of the students had excellent healing magicians, and after stopping the rampage, they safely returned to their original form." According to the student, it was not the constitution or the curse that transformed the figure, but the kind of potion made in ancient times. "

"It's a potion that turns people into monsters!?"

The interior is noisy due to outrageous information.

A body that has never heard of such a potion.

Nevertheless, if it is the legacy of an ancient civilization, it is not surprising what happened.

Hmm, did such a dangerous potion exist in ancient times?

"Even if I attacked the school, I didn't do anything more." And the potions that turned the students into monsters..... "

"Also, the student who gave the potion to the student, Suden-Namalbier, is now missing."

“I had the Knights investigate the Nanmarbier family, but there were only servants there, and there were no orders to run the family and the mansion.”

"Did you escape?"

"Probably. There was no evidence of an assault." It must have escaped after the failed school raid by the demon and the transformed son of the Venec family. "

"It must have been because of the remarkable work of the A-class students. They have defeated countless demons by the magic of their students, and they have protected those who cannot fight by the barrier."

"Well, that's good news."

During the difficult meeting, the growth of the students bearing the next generation was reported, so that the atmosphere of the place eased slightly.

"But throwing away the nobility easily... isn't the Nammarbie family proud?"

Honestly, I couldn't quite understand the former civilians, but from the time of their birth, the aristocrats seemed to be genuinely surprised by the Nammarbier family who had abandoned their noble status and fled.

But if we let the civilians tell us, I'm sure life is more important than titles.

And for those of the Namalbie family, it must have been because there were those who had priority over the title.

"We still have no information from the detectives in the surrounding countries that the Nanmarbiers have been deported."

"Likewise, we are not preparing for war to invade our country."

"Hmm, it's not that I'm entangled in a neighboring country..."

His Majesty, who was troubled by his arms, turned to us and asked:

"I want to ask everyone. Do you think this is the work of a demon?"

"" "" "" ""...! "" "" ""

A while ago we were laughing at the question.

But now we can't deny it.

I've learned about the existence of a demon.....

There's no denying the possibility.

But when it comes to potions, we can't deny the possibility that they were exhumed from a ruin somewhere.

The possibilities are undeniable. That's not true.

"... but that swarm of demons is impossible for humans."

Nagibelt, what does that mean?

His Majesty has asked for an explanation, and I will explain it in such a way that it will be easy to understand for people who are completely alienated by magic.

"You need the magic power of the contracted magician to manipulate the demon." It's just a matter of numbers and strength. If you're a surveillance demon with no fighting ability, you can control dozens of other demons. However, the magic power it consumes when it's used as a battle demon is staggered. Everyone's hands are limited to a few. If you try to manipulate hundreds or thousands of them at the same time, you'll need hundreds of skilled wizards. but.... "

That's right, it's not very easy, but I can't control such a huge amount of magic power or a very wide range of magic techniques.

You can only do that to a beast who has abandoned people.

“Isn't it realistic?”

"Yes, even in legends and ancient documents, demons can obey countless powerful demons with enormous magic power." If so, it is very likely that the demon master used in this battle is a demon.

I can't deny the possibility that a magic item has been discovered that can follow a large number of demons as well as potions.

Nevertheless, sticking to one possibility overlooks the truth.

We should offer all possible possibilities.

"Were the Nammarbie family involved in the demons, or did they just accidentally acquire magic items and grow them..."

I'd like it to be the latter, if possible.

In the end, the meeting stalled because of the lack of information, the lack of movement of the Nammarbie family, and the fact that the seal was safe, and there was only a valid opinion to increase vigilance.

◆Mina◆

A few days after the demon attack, the day came when we left the Magic Academy.

Thank you for taking care of me, Dean.

»» »» Thank you for your help »»

When we say thank you, the director of Zenzar School smiles bitterly.

"No, no, I'd rather take care of you." With your help, students and faculty have been able to further study magic. "

"No, not at all."

I'd rather be a teacher and teach you more magic.

For some reason, the teachers who came to see me off with the principal shouted sadly.

Well, Rex's magic class is a treasure trove of knowledge that you can't learn even if you want to.

After that, I'll die in combat training... but I'll die!

"Oh! That's a good idea!" Mina, why don't you get a job as a school teacher? "

"Rejected."

I slam a powerful No at Grandpa trying to hold me back by saying stupid things. I am an adventurer.

Rex had been solicited by the teachers, but he refused to do the same.

»» »» »» Choborn

“But I'm really sorry. I can't believe you can't teach Lex magic."

It's true! I wish Master Rex had taught us a lot more!

And the A-class students, including Mortener, are sparing tears to say goodbye to their teacher, Rex.

But I know. Their tears mean a smile in their mouth that they can't hold back.

There was only one word in there: "I will finally be free from the special training of hell!!".

No, I know how you feel.

In any case, while feeling remnant, we decided to leave the school later.

I tried... but...

"Mina-Kirks"

There was a voice calling us, no, calling us.

And we knew the voice of the Lord.

"... Triton"

Yes, it was Triton = Venec who was instigated by the enemy to do something stupid when the demon attacked.

Everyone is puzzled by his appearance. What the hell are you doing here?

……

While exposed to such air, Triton came straight to me.

"You look fine. Did you come to see me off?"

Of course not. Yes, because his eyes speak.

"I remember when I was in that shape."

Well, he remembered what he did.

Reflection? Regret? No. These eyes are even more despicable.

A long time ago, some idiot looked like him.

"I was swayed by power, and I lost."

Triton looks at me, but continues to speak without looking at me.

"Why did you let him live?"

It was a word of anger.

"I wish I could have killed you!" I gave up my pride and even tried to be like that, but I lost!! Why didn't you kill me!! "

I knew it. You were so frustrated at the thought of that.

Idiots think the same wherever they are.

"Why didn't you let me die in battle!"

"... hah, hah!!"

"Guah!?"

So I beat up Triton.

"" "" "" Ehh!? "" "" "

Ignore the screams around me.

"What are you doing!? What are you doing!?"

"Let me do it!!"

"Gahh!?"

And then hit him again.

Why didn't you kill me? What did you say?

"You idiot. If you're sorry, you just have to try again." I'm telling you what I spoiled while you saved me! Let's make it stronger and show you that you will win this time!! "

"This is terrible."

Rather than flogging a corpse, you're shooting at attack magic.

"As expected of Mina, there is no mercy. It reminds me of a gyro that was bumped into when I was a little girl."

"Stop it, don't tell me about that time."

Megri and the others who remember the current events said they liked it, but they ignored it. It feels a little better for Gyro to be pulling.

But Triton's insensitive words nullified it.

"I didn't have any talent like you!! No matter what a talented person does, it's useless!!"

"... ahhh!?"

"" "" "" "Hee!!" "" "" "

I was surprised that I was so low and cold that I was surprised, but Triton was more frightened than that.

By the way, why is everyone scared around here?

Talent?

"Ugh"

I grab the head of Triton and force him to stand up.

and unleashed a cry from his heart.

"Do you really think I can finish my talent with such words?!"

”Hiiii!?”

"There's no way we could have done that hellish special training with such clichés!! We felt like we were going to die!" No, he's dead! My heart is dead!! "

Huh? Huh?

I was remembering.

Special training days with Rex.

I used my chanting magic and magic power enhancement to get on my feet, and I fell.

The fact that the gyro failed to strengthen its magic and exploded.

Best of all, I was forced to restore magic, physical strength and spirit from morning to evening, and I was fighting dragons and dragons for more terrible days than hell!!

"That's it! Don't use such sweet words to deny our power!! We literally gained our strength by feeling like we were dying in our hearts and minds!! N... nh... nh... nh... nh... nh... nh... nh... nh!!"

Those days when the soul rejects just trying to remember!!

Above all, the incredible power, precision, and knowledge of magic at my age.

No matter how much you learn, you can't even see the footprints on that back.

A nightmare where there was only one entrance to a tremendous knowledge that I thought was the essence of magic!!

I never tasted that despair as if I had become a bird without a feather, but what's so soupy about it!!

"" "" "" "" Yeah "" "" ""

"Cuu"

Not only the Gyros, but also the Moltenas who were in the same sight, were nodding in tears.

"Oh, you've been hiding and doing such amazing special training!! It's a driftwood!!"

Yes, there, Rex! It's your special training!! Don't get me wrong!!

But I don't want to show you more hell by saying strange things!!

I was the only one in the party who had the knowledge of magic technology, so I kept despairing of Lex's bottomless knowledge and technology!!

There's no reason to think you're talented!!

No, now I'm a sweet boy in front of me!!

Got it!?

I pull the Triton that grabbed the chest and ask him if he understood.

"... yes"

Why are you blushing?

"If you know, if you have time to talk about talent and sweet things, you should feel like you're going to die, but train!! I'm going to die before I give up!!"

When he finished saying what he wanted to say and released his hand from Triton, he fell into disbalance with a dazed expression on his face. Did I say a little too much? No, I'm not bad. Bad is that hell.

"... I understand."

Sure.

Looks like you got it. Phew, refreshing!!

Claps, claps, and praise come from the students.

After all, the sympathy of our fellow citizens who have experienced the same hell is very heartfelt.

"... Mina-Kirks"

Then Triton stared at me as he slowly stood up.

What?

There is no such thing as a despicable and dull look in his eyes.

Slightly, but it looks like my eyes are glowing again.

"You said you could challenge me again." Will you fight me again...? "

If you become stronger with your own strength.

"Ah, ahhh! I promise! I'll show you how strong I am!!"

Fufu, you've got a good face.

Well, then do your best.

I responded with a little anticipation.

Somehow, you don't hate magic matches.

"Another burst of Mina's alley." All the evil kids in the village were also corrupted by Mina's altercation. "

What are you talking about, Sole? The villagers' bad boys, I was just fighting back over the people who sold them to me?

Ahh, Mina-san looks just like Gyro-san, to say the least.

Huh!? This is just like Gyro!? Where is it!?

But I'm not the only one challenging Mina-Karks.

I turned my attention back to Triton's voice as Megri and the others were unconscious in their conversation.

Then he took his gaze off of me and turned a strong gaze to the side of the gyro.

I'm going to challenge you!

What? Me?

It seemed like he didn't expect his spearhead to come towards him again, and Gyro was kidding.

"Can you end up losing to someone who is not a full-time wizard with magic!" I will definitely defeat you too!! "

It seems that his defeat is trying to recover from the defeat he suffered from Gyro.

"Huh, that's a good side, isn't it?" Fine. You can't take it anytime!! "

As expected of an idiot who doesn't think of difficult things. Lightly accepted Triton's challenge.

The refreshingness of breaking the bamboo in vain of the gyro makes Triton smile with an unpleasant smile.

"Heh, Rock is an S-rank adventurer." My nostrils are deep. "

"" "" "" "Eh?" "" ""

And then Triton came up with something strange.

Is Gyro a C-rank adventurer like us?

"I've been looking into you." A man who appeared like a comet and instantly climbed to the top of an adventurer. I can't believe that there are magical users like you in the world of adventurers! "

Nh, nh? What are you talking about?

"Farewell, Rex!"

Suddenly, after calling Lex by his name, Triton went back to school.

And we remembered.

"" "" "" ""... "" "" "" "" "

... by the way, he left Gyro and Rex in the wrong place.

Thus, our school life came to an end in an atmosphere where nothing could be done.

Hmm, it really doesn't tighten up.....
