Din no Monshou

Magic training ground.

It is the supermassive arena this college boasts.

ring can put nearly a thousand people on,

The audience seats are showing endless expansions.

That size is not the ratio of the arena that duelled the Horgos eight years ago.

Eric and I are going to pull out the crowd and move on.

After all, there are plenty of ordinary people here.

Normally, ordinary people not related to the college are prohibited from entering the premises.

However, it is only possible to enter this public training, regardless of your qualifications.

If you look closely, there are wild technologists standing everywhere.

I guess I'm actually looking at flame steel cars and trying to help with research.

Apparently, we came just before we started.

Several magicians are already waiting in the ring.

Beyond that, there was a silly big steel car seated.

"... that's the flaming steel car"

My voice leaks unexpectedly.

If it's a small building, it's likely to collapse easily.

And the compression that pervades the whole picture,

It's like you're intimidating the people around you.

It's like a steel castle.

I slightly doubt that such a thing can drive to Matomo.

Can mobility be ensured?

Well, I guess a few skilled magicians move for that.

We secure the audience and take a breather.

Looks like a common neighborhood around here.

Me in my aristocratic clothes and Eric in my robe are floating around.

But the average person around me can't seem to stop looking at us.

I even cheered and waited for the start.

Seeing that, I leak my displeasure to Eric with a fed up voice.

"... Ha, how many or whatever people there are not too many"

"It happens once a year.

I'm guessing you're mistaken for a festival. "

"Festival..."

Looking at the other side, something like a VIP seat caught my eye.

Sitting there is apparently an official of the Wang Du Three family.

If you stare, there are people who do emit a very different colour.

In the middle of the VIP seat was a man who came in familiar clothes.

aristocratic clothing similar to the robe worn by Sieg.

Perhaps that is the head of the Radius family.

"Eric, that man..."

"Oh, I'm the conspirator who killed my father.

I'll never forget his face. "

There is a dark shadow in Eric's eyes.

He was gripping his fist tight and trying to contain what was creeping up.

"... you okay?

"Oh, I'm not rambling. Don't worry."

Phew, Eric exhales all the time and turns his shoulder.

If it had been 2 months ago, I would have beaten him without question.

I seem to have learned the art of patience, avoiding the battle I see losing.

Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

A battle is a battle when you win.

Loss can be a fruitful experience, I often say.

But I want to complain about the idea.

Life basically has a fight you shouldn't lose.

Does a young man who died in 25 speak of his life?

Oh, my God, they're going to say it, but let me dare you.

Life is about packing when you lose.

That if you don't win, you have a battle where your life goes bankrupt.

Besides, if that's unavoidable and difficult, it's Zara too.

I lost there and lost my guiding principles of life once.

Well, there's not one or two battles I've lost.

Failed to build trust with parent.

Failed the exam.

Failed to recover.

The result is - accidental death in steel.

Hmm.

Honestly, it's not a Loc thing.

No matter how smoothly things are carried to the full sail,

One defeat can ruin everything.

And is that a fatal battle?

Is it okay to lose again?

In some cases that is not known beforehand.

Therefore, if we are going to fight, we should move on the assumption that we will win.

That's what I learned in my previous life's failures.

I took a far-sighted look at the head of the Radius family.

Sure, was his real name Claude Halvarez Radius?

Cloudy blonde hair, like a mixture of gray and brown hair.

Because we've lived a life of deception, or deep wrinkles carved all over the place.

Don't tell me you get more wrinkles when you struggle.

A sign of ageing engraved everywhere, looking older than the actual year.

Surely, at his age, he shouldn't have been very different from Shadyberga.

But unlike him, I can't feel anything like kindness or inclusiveness at all.

Behind the eyes, a flame full of ambition is burning.

To put it plainly, my eyes are not dead.

At that age, it's as if you're planning to accomplish something.

"I don't know... you look old"

"Oh, I think you're the nobleman when it comes to obliterating evidence.

Kill all the scholars in the college and cover it up nicely. "

As if it were some other HR, says Eric.

In fact, if you think subjectively, you're going to be unable to contain your anger.

That's right.

My father's revenge is so close.

The owners of the three Wangdu houses set foot.

That's exactly what I thought, but only two of our principals were in our seats.

Yes, Miley's not here.

With that said, you were talking earlier and running in the opposite direction.

I may not have found this training worth looking at.

Well, I guess there's something about the house.

In that regard, the head of the Holtros family, the corner of the three remaining Wangdu houses, seems to be coming.

They're younger than Claude sitting next to them.

Sure, the Holtros are doing a big job tightening up the mercenary network?

It was a house that followed the first king and helped build a nation by force with the Charquins.

With that said, Alec used the Holtros research building.

It's about that mysterious Alec.

It may be surprisingly knowledgeable with Holtros' masters.

I observe the opposite seat carefully.

Then I heard a slightly bothered voice coming from behind me.

A mix of technical terms, stories within your peers.

Judging by the content, is it a line of technicians?

I listened quietly.

"... what's up. Why is there only one pair?"

"... Where did the remaining fifty disappear?

At least ten of them should be used for training. "

"... according to the story, there was movement in the north or something"

Hmm, sounds like something out of the ordinary.

Eric seems to be feeling uncomfortable somewhere, too.

He has a face that doesn't float.

Well, simply because Claude is in the same venue.

Maybe I just don't feel good.

I whispered quietly.

"Eric, are there not many flame steel cars to use for training?

"Sounds like it. Apparently, every year, they use 10 to 20 of them."

"And there's only one pair? Something's wrong."

This public training would be like a briefing for investors, so to speak.

Thanks to you guys for putting out the money, we have such a strong weapon.

I want to show you proof of that, in actual battle.

That's what it's supposed to mean.

What do you mean you only have one pair?

Thank you very much to the people who are just paying for the research.

Sounds like I'm not the only one who thinks that.

The distant aristocrats are making a little noise.

"... why so few"

"... there will be no performance or anything in both"

"... I don't mind if they use the money, but you could explain it or so"

What's wrong with giving money?

and utterly dissatisfied.

I'm just being careful not to sound too far away.

Wow, it looks so small.

If it's inconvenient if you ask, don't talk to me from the beginning.

On purpose, some of the venues become noisy.

Well, how do we change this air?

I quietly put my gaze back on Claude.

Then Claude laughed slightly distorted the edge of his mouth - it looked like it.

From here on out, it's too far away to tell the facial expression.

It's best to capture the characteristics.

But it seems to be a hit that there has been some movement.

When Claude stood up, he let him bring what was nearby.

Are you sure it was a crystal that augmented your voice?

I used it in the arena once.

Claude coughed several times and spoke to the entire training ground.

"- Three houses in Wang Du are one. This is Claude from the Radius family."

That said, the overall atmosphere of the venue tightened.

The nobleman, who had complained earlier, also closes his house.

As the training ground was wrapped in silence, Claude continued slowly.

"Today, to show you the results of your research,

We had over fifty flame steel cars available.

We had a big march on all vehicles and were going to show off with no extra performance.

But... "

Claude lays down his face just saying that it was a bitter decision.

And then I dropped my gaze on the flaming steel car on the ring.

"Recently, we received a report that thousands of soldiers had left the capital of the Empire."

Surprise spread to the venue.

Mm, I didn't even know that.

That seemed to be the same for the nobles around.

Suddenly he is told that there is an empire shadow, and the upset spreads.

Inside it's like, 'Empire... that empire?' and some common people panicked halfway.

Apparently, I know enough about your fear as a hostile country.

It's the biggest country on the continent.

"But don't worry.

Flaming steel cars are originally the ultimate weapon to protect this kingdom.

We immediately sent fifty units to the 'Bridge on the Border', near the border.

Neither is the empire full of fools.

You won't be on guard and attacking lightly. "

Explain that the flaming steel car is not here where everyone's anxiety has been stirred up.

And that it is to protect the country.

What the Empire is going to attack here is that it's impossible.

By putting them out in order, they turned the audience's dissatisfaction into praise at once.

Claude's quick measures raise a voice from around.

Kind of. No, are you more skillful at speaking than that?

I looked at the figure at the beginning of the day and said 'Good morning',

It was me watching my daughter-in-law on the desktop at the end of the day and saying 'good night'.

On average, that was two words a day in my previous life.

Silence is money, but in my case, that money must have corroded.

"It's distressing, but there is currently only one flame steel car in this king's capital.

However, the fact that 'one pair' is sufficient to show performance,

Let me prove it here -! "

Powerful, Claude proclaimed with grandeur.

Correspondingly, five magicians entered the flame steel car.

Even if five people get in, there's still room in there.

If I'm forced to pack it, I think I can accommodate dozens or so.

From inside the flaming steel car, a voice enlarged with crystals echoes.

"- Armored, no abnormalities"

Reinforced using subhuman remains, steel armor.

That gradually began to shine.

A cold, cold surface stains brightly with magic from the inside.

In the wake of the voice of one magician, I heard the next proclamation.

"- Wheels, no abnormalities"

A magical wheel begins to make a noise.

You're wearing a huge clasp, and I'm not moving forward now.

But make an eye-catching move.

That wheel...... the transition from reverse rotation to forward rotation is so fast.

When I made sure there were no problems with the wheels, I heard a different magician once again.

"- Magic barrier, no anomalies"

I guess I stuck my boundaries inside.

A layer of pale magic appears on the surface.

That is the barrier that completely drives away the weak magic.

Make sure you're that ready.

A person on the other side of the ring opened the door.

Three demon pigs came up to the ring.

I see, are you going to defeat the demon and appeal to performance?

I remember seeing that pig in a book.

Certainly the number one demon on this continent as the cause of the disappearance of villages.

A giant over 5 metres long approaches the flaming steel car in front of him.

Rough nose, dust blows around.

The magician who opened the door quickly fled to a safe zone.

And further demons walked out of the back of the demon hog releasing a sense of intimidation.

- It's a dragon.

A warcraft running around the earth and the sky, served by a dragoon.

Those frivolous eyes instinctively stir up a sense of crisis just by looking at them.

But... I don't know. Don't feel like you're missing somewhere.

That's when I noticed the anomaly.

To keep the audience from attacking? The wings are cut off.

This is deadly for dragons who specialize in aerial warfare.

But still, in ground warfare, it easily ravages other demons.

Four demons of convenience appeared in front of a flaming steel car.

In contrast to the overwhelming intimidation, the audience is breathtaking.

Even Eric forgot the words and saw them in the ring.

Earlier, the demon hog tries to enter a battle posture.

Then the top of the head of the flaming steel car gave off a strong glow.

At the same time, a magician's voice echoes from inside the car.

"- Fuel crystal (elemental potion), ignition"

With that word, the power source finally moved.

The whole flaming steel car is lit with strong light.

The temperature of the armor gradually rises and the atmosphere makes a noise and trembles.

Chili, and the sound of burning the tympanic membrane echoed into the training ground.

Did you consider it an act of intimidation by the enemy?

The demon pig is finally off to a start.

He rushes into a flaming steel car.

Behind that, the dragon began to breathe in his body.

I guess it's ready to throw out the flames.

On the ring, the distance between the two sides clogs at once.

Then a sharp voice flew out of the flaming steel car.

"- Flaming steel car, activated"

Burning body.

The Kingdom's guardian weapon activated to show its strength.
