Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Aarons finally understood why there were no convenient means of transportation like airplanes, trains, and cars in this world.

Magicians had actually created magic equipment with various functions a long time ago, but before the technology of psychic energy conversion magic became popular, these things could only be operated by magicians.

Even if there was psychic energy, the size of the magic source stone and the conversion furnace was too large.

Therefore, the common means of transportation in Aarons' previous life can only be made and used by magicians at present - and magicians have long integrated the functions of these vehicles together.

So Aarons personally experienced what it felt like to ride a flying motorcycle driven by a jet engine.

"It can actually trigger a sonic boom - help -"

"Don't scream! Nothing will happen with the protection of the magic shield!"

- After realizing that he had easily broken through the sound barrier, Aarons's sanity was on the verge of breaking.

Was he really riding a motorcycle? This wasn't a supersonic cruise missile! It wouldn't just dive down and explode when it got there!

Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing, Aarons didn't care about his manners at this time. He held Claire's slender waist tightly with both hands, fearing that he would be thrown out of the car if he let go.

——And Her Royal Highness did not resist his rude behavior at all.

"The engine of this car was modified by Teacher Jiang Yue for me. As long as I have enough magic power, it is not a problem to fly across the entire empire in one day!"

"Can't she teach you something?"

In addition to being a little scary, Aarons had to admit that the speed of this car was indeed beyond imagination.

It took only about ten minutes to travel a distance of more than 500 miles. He didn't even have time to think about whether he would fall into a meat pie before he arrived at the destination.

"Slow down a little and we can land. Senior, how does it feel to fly?"

"... Can you give me a seat with a compartment next time?"

Although she used her magic power to drive the magic engine throughout the journey, Claire didn't seem to consume too much physical strength.

When the two finally began to circle and slow down, Aarons had the opportunity to observe the situation on the ground.

——This is outside the south gate of Marvel City. The ground is full of traces of tearing and burning by vicious war magic. And in those crisscrossing black glass-like lines, there may be a little ashes of the mercenaries.

Is this world really peaceful? Maybe I have misjudged the value of life.

"If you decide to join the battle, you must be prepared to face death at any time. Senior, you should know this truth, right?"

"Of course I know, but... Alas."

Aarons, who didn't know what to say, finally just sighed.

He didn't have the power to fight, so he should be the one to be protected. But now he has to fight with others to realize his wish.

In this process, how many lives will be lost?

"...It seems that I am just a small figure."

"Don't think too much. There seems to be someone moving below, let's land near them."

After slowing down sufficiently, Keliya and Aarons landed smoothly on the ground. Aarons's nervous mood also eased with the feeling of being on the ground.

...I hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess can drive a little slower when she goes back.

"Those people seem to be scavengers, senior."

"...Is there really anything to pick up here?"

There may be weapons and equipment left by the dead mercenaries on this scorched earth, but Aarons doesn't think those things have any value.

And looking at those people who were digging something in the mud with their hands not far away, he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart for some reason.

"It seems that there is nothing special here. Let's go directly into the city, senior."

"Then let's go...wait."

Just then, Aarons, who thought everything was going well, keenly discovered that the scavengers who were originally digging something in the distance suddenly rushed towards their location.

Although there was still some distance, Aarons, who was sharp-eyed, saw that the leading people were holding weapons like long swords in their hands.

"...No! There is something wrong with those guys!"

Before Aarons could react, those people had already rushed to their vicinity.

The people who approached with weapons in hand all released auras of different colors, and the people who came later took off the weapons like staffs from their backs and aimed the glowing crystals on the top at Aarons and Keliya's bodies.——These people are not scavengers!

"There are really nobles in the empire who dare to come here... Kill them! Avenge our brothers!"

"Damn, are they surviving mercenaries?"

When these people approached about twenty steps away, Aarons finally figured out their identities.

——These people were mercenaries who had escaped the bombing that day. They stayed here not only to plunder the remaining property, but also to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the empire.

"Oh? Are you here to seek revenge? Then senior, sit still."

After pulling out her cane from the seat, Claire jumped off the seat in a chic manner and faced the fighting warriors with weapons.

The streamlined magic shield that was used to resist high-speed airflow was also restarted under Claire's operation, wrapping the motorcycle and Aarons in it.

"Wait, are you going to fight alone!"

An unprovoked fear swept through Aarons' body, and his heart beat violently.

When the boiling blood rushed to his brain, Aarons' spirit became calm again.

The ability left in his body was activated at this critical moment.

"There are eight people in total."

At this time, Aarons felt like he had become a radar, quickly grasping all the situations around him.

—— There are five fighting warriors in the front and three magicians in the back. There is a gap on the left side of the formation. If you can cut in from there, you will have a chance to cause damage to the magician.

"Listen to me... There is a flaw on the right side of the second person from the left. If you attack that position, the magician behind will lose the opportunity to chant."

In order to reduce Keliya's pressure, Aarons calmly and accurately gave battle advice... However, after hearing his words, Keliya was stunned for some reason.

"Senior? Are you...giving me advice?"

"Don't be in a daze! The two people on the right are starting to move!"

The mercenaries didn't seem to intend to negotiate. Before Aarons and Keliya finished their brief exchange, two arrogant warriors had already raised their weapons and rushed up.

"It looks like a magician, do it!"

In the eyes of these people, the man in front of them, who was dressed in black and wearing a strange mask and took the initiative to block the young nobleman, could not stop their joint attack.

Even if it was a magician who could drive a vehicle, what about it? If a magician wants to release magic, he must first concentrate on chanting a specific spell.

——And now with such a short distance, these people can completely cut off this guy's body before the chanting is completed.

"Don't give them time to react! Go together!"

"Damn it! Run to the left! Pull the distance and then counterattack!"

But Keliya did not follow Aarons' instructions.

"So you have such ability, senior..."

Looking at those warriors with arrogance approaching quickly, she just raised her staff casually, and even turned her head to look at Aarons behind her.

"... Chanting omitted, attribute compression chain canceled! [Hellfire Rush]!"

——However, without giving anyone time to react, a huge pillar of fire instantly rose out of thin air, ruthlessly devouring everything in front of Claire.

"Sorry, I'm not an ordinary magician."
