Chapter 221 – Rest (4)

A training room exclusively for high-ranking paladins borrowed from Helena.

For some reason, there was no one in the training room, so it became a situation where we monopolized ourselves…

There are not one or two high-ranking paladins in the headquarters, and not all of them are relaxed enough to skip training, so something must have happened.

Maybe he’s in a meeting with Helena?

High-ranking paladins are not simply strong beings, but also beings who command other paladins in case of emergency.

Calling in the dispatched paladins and combat priests, training to hold a sit-in using the main unit as a stronghold.

There will be a lot of things to do, so you must be busy from the planning stage.

Well, it’s good that I can use the training room to my heart’s content no matter what.

While taking lessons on Blood Force from Iona in a real combat format.

Aaaaa!!!

I turned around in surprise at the explosion I heard from behind.

“What’s the matter?!”

The ground was charred and dented as if a huge snake of fire had crawled through it.

In front of him, Elisha was standing blankly, and Iris was clapping her hands with a worldly happy expression.

“… What’s really going on?”

“Mmmm. Yandel student. Let’s stop sparring and go to Elisha.”

“Oh, yes.”

Iona seems to have noticed something, but instead of telling me, Iona smiles mischievously and pushes her back.

Judging by the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing. Tilting her head, she approached Elisha’s side.

Seeing it up close, it’s even bigger.

A pit dug deep enough to reach my waist. A vision shimmering with residual heat. Traces of suffocating mana.

“Elisha? Did you do this accident… I don’t think so.”

“Hey, Yandel…”

Elisha turns her head with a creaking movement. There was a violent ripple in the blue eyes like the clear sky.

Elisha, who looked very agitated at first glance, stammered and continued her words.

“I… I guess I became a lieutenant mage?”

“Eh.”

***

Elisha has risen to the level of a lieutenant mage.

… It’s really out of the blue, but it’s really not that surprising.

Elisha is born with her talents that can lead to a great mage if she is raised well, and since she became my slave, she has grown rapidly throughout the dungeon.

Since he was standing at the edge of the lower wizards, he should have been able to cross the wall at any time if there was an opportunity.

Just like this, suddenly without any warning! She did and she just didn’t know she could cast intermediate magic.

“Congratulations Elisha!”

“Thank you Yandel. With this I…”

She asked Elisha, who smiled faintly, about the part she was most curious about.

“What about the threat to her life anyway? What about passionate feelings? Mana runaway? How did you wake up in such a peaceful atmosphere?”

“… To?”

Elisha tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand. I also tilted her head the other way.

Elisha opened her mouth wide as if she realized something after tilting each other for a long time.

“You can’t…”

“Huh? What’s the matter. What did I say wrong?”

Looking at it now, not only Elisha, but everyone seemed to have noticed something.

Why do I not know… ?

This time, I alone tilted my head for a while. Carla, who was next to her, opened her mouth with a very cautious tone.

“Ugh… Master?”

“Uh.”

“Usually, it’s not through awakening, but through steady training to get over the wall.”

“… Uh?”

For a moment, my head stopped.

You don’t need any quests to change your 2nd job? Of course, this world isn’t really a game, but at least in H&A…

“For a moment.”

Come to think of it, even in H&A, the Awakening Quest was an event that was necessary only to become a great wizard or sword master.

It is a stage that can be reached by increasing the number of magics that can be used steadily and raising the attribute rank up to the middle rank wizard and the upper rank wizard.

There is a problem that the amount of experience needed to move on to the next level is incomparably higher than before, but there was no special event required.

Because he grows rapidly after clearing a dungeon or subjugating a cultist, he often seems to cross the wall while fighting, but…

Strictly speaking, after the battle is over, with the settlement received from the system, it is to step into the next stage.

It means that after waking up in the middle of a battle like me, the settlement is not received separately according to the settlement.

Iris stood on tiptoe and gently stroked my hair.

“Don’t be too shocked, Master. Regardless of whether it is the level of achievement that was raised through unreasonable realization from the unstable realization obtained at the crossroads of life and death, or the answer of the person who steadily built up from the basics, the end point is not the same anyway.”

“… Iris Nur is real!”

Feeling moved, I tugged at Iris’ chubby cheek.

Keep going.

“Where’s the excuse to pretend to be comforting! You are the worst!”

“Hiyaaaaa! Isn’t the owner often like that, comparing my breasts to Lady Jarnshad’s! How long have I been waiting for this day…”

“Eight.”

“It hurts! It hurts! It really hurts! I’ve done it once, I’m satisfied and I won’t do it again! So stop pulling on your ears instead of your cheeks!”

Even though Iris only grabbed it and didn’t pull it, Iris was still swearing. I guess my ears are sensitive.

Even after letting go of her hand, he grabbed Iris’s wrist from behind, which was limp like a kitten bitten by its mother’s neck.

Then, as if manipulating her puppet, he waved Iris’s arm and continued her words.

“What… It’s a good thing if you cross the wall without any risk.”

Come to think of it, hasn’t Elisha been constantly learning her magic throughout her life since she was a child?

As Iris said, the training she had accumulated so far would only shine.

By the way, starting from her middle-level magic, the personality of her caster and the characteristics of her core become clear. How does Elisha feel?

First of all, Karla and I are specialized in firepower. She also has resonance, which is a characteristic of Lind Bloom’s core, and her pursuits overlapped.

I wanted a powerful shot that would overcome all crises, and Karla had grown up as a cannon-type orthodox wizard from a young age.

Elisha has also seen her grown up version at H&A, so I know she’s a speaker specialist, but she’s never felt it herself, so I’m curious about her.

“Hey, Elisha. If you don’t mind, can you show me how to use intermediate magic?”

“Oh? It can’t be. There is just one thing I would like to correct.”

Bitterness appeared on Elisha’s face as she giggled and raised her wand.

“It’s not as good as you, Yandel, but I was in a state of concentration.”

Elisha is raising her magic power while looking at the traces where the heat is just going away. As if responding to this, the shadow of the element hovering over her bedside.

A pattern of fire was added to the shadow that originally had only the shapes of wind and water.

“Why can’t I fall short of Carla? Why am I falling behind even you, Yandel? Why did Master do such a reckless thing for me? I finally… Will it end up being a lump?”

“Elisha…”

Content heavier than expected.

Elisha is a genius united by her pride in herself. But what she’s been through in the last half year must have hurt her pride.

It worked out somehow, but the result is not important. In the process, she said the problem was that Elisha couldn’t do anything.

As is always the case, and as is the case with anyone, the fall between the reality and the ideal would be cruel.

As I was looking at Elisha with her slightly worried heart, Iris, who had regained her senses before I knew it, sighed and pressed the back of her head against my chest.

“Don’t worry. Elisha is not such a weak child. Her master just needs to keep her eyes wide open.”

“… Huh.”

Seething magic. The shadows of the elements shimmer as if they were alive, scattering their presence.

A shadow created by the image engraved on the image receiving magical light. A pattern that is only an illusion created by the Elementus Core.

However, at this moment, it was clearly real.

“Yandel. My you You told me in the agony of biting tail after tail. I’m sure I can. My way was not wrong.”

Okay. We talked about that in the carriage that came all the way here.

Elisha glanced over here and nodded her head with a refreshing smile.

“I think so too.”

The magical power that had been rising around Elisha quickly began to converge at the tip of the wand.

“I will show you that your faith was not in vain. So watch carefully as Master said. This is my magic. … Fire Tornado!”

Hwaaak!

The magical energy that had been united at one point quickly spread and created a blazing fire.

Swirling flames close to the ground. It looks like a snake crawling forward.

Did you lay the fire tornado on its side? Neat and fast Above all, Elisha from a while ago completely omitted her chanting.

He had just risen to the rank of lieutenant wizard, and was able to manifest magic with only his first word.

As I show more power than normal intermediate magic, Elisha will be able to reduce her chanting time and cast more quickly.

Because that’s the path Elisha pursues, and it’s the way to make the most of her Elementus Core’s characteristics.

Take a moment to admire and watch. Like emission-type magic, the storm of flames quickly faded.

The moment you raise your hands to clap with a feeling of half regret and half admiration.

“Sharpness Hurricane!”

“Uh?”

Elisha’s second magic follows straight ahead.

A storm of pure winds flying in exactly the same trajectory as before. Instead of losing the heat, the magic that gained sharpness slashes the front.

This alone is surprising, but Elisha did not end here.

“Tidal… Wave… !”

When the thick stream of water shot with ferocious force, it began to carve out the pit again.

At the same time, he hurriedly grabbed Elisha, who was about to collapse.

“Ugh!”

Iris struggled between me and Elisha, but that’s not what’s important right now.

It took a bit of time at first, and at the end he collapsed from struggle, but to think he was using intermediate magic 3 times in a row.

Of course, the power of each magic is much weaker than me or Karla. However, if you use them consecutively, the story changes.

It’s still immature, but it’s like a walking natural disaster that I remember.

Elisha always pursues the best and is obsessed with the best. Even if she loses a rival, loses her teacher, and is looked down upon by her own people.

Even so, she is always a woman who smiles loudly as she advances step by step, looking forward and higher.

I realized once again that it was Elisha held in my arms.

Elisha, who had lost her strength, giggled as she saw me parenting.

“How about this? Is this pretty good enough?”

“It wasn’t pretty, it was the best.”

Next to Elisha now is Carla and Iris. She may still be looked down upon by her own people, but instead, there is me who affirms Elisha.

How strong will Elisha become? How fast she flies

“I’m a little excited.”

A word that came out with a smile without even realizing it. But for some reason, Elisha only sighed with a confused look on her face.

“Now that you make that expression with your appearance, it keeps sounding strange.”

“… Go and ask Fay about this!”

It’s your turn tomorrow.
