Chapter 18: Special Magic Warfare Exercise
Chapter 18: Special Magic Warfare Exercise
Its just not right they havent committed any crimes, but just because they look a little different, theyre treated like slaves
It all started with something very trivial.
This morning, I asked Abel what he wanted to do if he became a magic knight.
Abel said, I want to build a small village.
Not everyone is strong.
So he wants to at least protect those people within his reach.
And he also added,
I want to free the slaves.
Especially those who are enslaved simply because they are subracial, such as beastmen and elves.
Whats scary is, I didnt understand it at first.
I didnt think it was funny.
But why is there a need to release them?
If you are demihuman, you deserve to be a slave.
Subconsciously, I really thought so.
What is even more frightening is that nothing about this idea is unusual for me.
Its not that my thoughts are particularly radical.
Almost everyone who was there listening to Abel thought that subracial peoples being slaves was natural.
Well, only the girl, Lily, seemed to already know what Abel was thinking and was not surprised at his statement.
Come to think of it, the scene has been there before.
I have seen beastmen and elves in our territory, but they were always serving someone else.
The only exceptions are adventurers who may have come from other countries.
The demi-humans are slaves to the humans.
This is the common sense of the Myrstian Kingdom, and it is the norm that is ingrained in this body of mine as well.
So I didnt realize I think.
But a strange feeling as if a knowledge separate from the brain denies it.
Could it be that I noticed this abnormality because I was reincarnated?
I never even wondered until now.
On the contrary, how could Abel think that this common sense was strange?
Is he not from this country?
Now is not a good time to think about it, huh?
Its not something I can do anything about right away, nor do I want to.
At least now I have several things to do.
Well, when I become a magic knight who is given all kinds of freedom and power, I may be able to change this stupid common sense one way or another.
I dont like things lacking this kind of rationality.
Even if its called liberation, various problems accompany it.
It wont happen overnight, though.
In any case, I should learn more about this matter.
The history of this country and the others.
With this in mind, I left the library.
Immediately changing my mine.
What Im about to take is the last class of the afternoon, the Special Magic Warfare Exercise.
The handout distributed in advance did not list the name of the lecturer, only Special lecturer.
There are several classes that are described in this way, and Special Magic Warfare Exercise is one of them.
The content of the lesson is written as Battle practice with the assumption of enemies using special attribute magic.
Haha, its quite thrilling, isnt it?
I wonder what kind of class it will be.
Im a little bit looking forward to this.
Its been a while, Alice.
You must be kidding
I was indeed surprised.
It was unexpected.
Its been a while since Ive seen Luke, too. Last time I saw you was maybe a year ago?
Yeah.
Silver hair.
Slit blue eyes.
Crystal clear white skin.
Very neat face.
He is Alices brother Yolande.
Is everyone here? Time to start the class then!
Ive never seen Alice so upset.
Hey, your brother is so handsome!
Mia whispers to Alice.
From where?
With a disgusted look on her face, Alice denied it.
No, objectively speaking, Yolande actually has a very neat face.
Hes so cool
Oh, my.
And so the other female students let out an exclamation of admiration.
haa.
A sigh escaped Alice.
Let me start with a brief introduction. My name is Yolande Elias Lonsdale. Please feel free to call me Yolande-sensei. Its good to meet you all. Also, as some of you may have already noticed, Alice over there is my sister.
Yolande laughed with amusement.
Alice narrowed her eyes in disgust.
They were very contrasting siblings.
In fact, when I met him, I found him strangely different, but Alice had told me that he was an insignificant person.
But
In case you are wondering, I have the title of Deputy Commander of the Kingdoms 2nd Attribute Magic Division. Well, I was just appointed to this position this year though.
Seems like that recognition is a thing of the past.
I had heard the rumors.
They said he was a member of the Kingdoms Magic Division, but was just an unimpressive ordinary soldier.
But I also heard that two years ago, he suddenly emerged as a prominent figure.
Yes that was two years ago when Alice and I unwillingly got engaged.
However, I had never really heard that he had risen to the position of Deputy Commander.
A mere soldier to become the Deputy Division Commander in only two years
Obviously, this isnt normal.
Strange.
Now that Ive introduced myself, lets get on with the explanation of this class. My class is called Special Magical Warfare Exercise, does anyone know what it is about?
Yes!
So, a guy raised his hand.
Then you. Whats your name?
Yes! I am Logan Rolle Compton!
Okay, Logan-kun. Will you answer me then?
Its a battle exercise assuming an enemy who uses special attribute magic!
Correct. Then do you know what that special attribute magic is, for example?
Thats I dont know!
Hmm! Good and honest!
Alice muttered a few words after seeing the exchange with a man named Logan, who had a very good posture.
its disgusting.
At that moment, Yolande stopped abruptly and I did not miss the moment when he blinked and trembled from shock..
Eh what was that?
I feel like Ive seen something really hideous.
Okay, Ill continue with the explanation. The four major attributes are fire, wind, water, and earth. The attributes that are far removed from the four major attributes. For example, my attribute of magnetism is exactly like that.
Magnetic force huh.
Then you, big guy!
Yolande pointed his finger to
Oh, is that me?
Yeah. Whats your name? Just tell me your first name.
Its Hugo!
Ok, Hugo-kun. What are your attributes?
Just Rock.
Thats a good attribute. Then, will you try to cast a spell on me? Please make it as powerful as possible.
A-are you sure?
Its okay. Its not going to hit me anyway.
got it.
Yolandes provocative language fueled Hugos fighting spirit.
Here I come!
Yeah, anytime.
Giant Rock Bullet
At that moment a very huge rock was generated and released toward Yolande.
The speed was also quite good.
Not bad.
If you dont start taking evasive action immediately, you wont make it in time.
Still, Yolande did not move.
Please avoid it!!
Hugo shouted.
Repulsion.
When Yolande chanted this, the huge rock softly changed its trajectory.
It passed over Yolandes head as it was.
See it cant hit me.
Then he laughed like a child.
Wow, thats awesome
Almost everyone in the room, including Hugo, gasped.
Seeing the scene just now, I understood this Magnetic magic to some extent.
Its very powerful magic.
Kuku, are you saying this guy is insignificant?
Even idiots can tell.
My magnetic magic can magnetize anything, generating attraction and repulsion. In this case, I magnetized the rock that Hugo released and the ground to create a repulsive force.
I see.
Strong, you think? But, the range where magnetism can be given is about 5m radius around me. Heat and cold cant be repelled. The greater the attraction and repulsion it generates, the greater the magic it consumes. There are various disadvantages, such as limited means of wide-area attack.
Yolande continues to speak.
Now Ive taught you. But in actual battle, you have to find such weaknesses during combat and push your own advantage. Like this, in this class I want you to learn how to fight against a special attribute magician like me.
Thats great..
I had already decided to take Yolandes class.
In relation to the lesson, I will bring along some fellow members of my unit as your opponent, so be prepared for that. Alright, thats about it for the explanation.
As far as I can see, many of them seem to have a favorable impression of this class.
Alice, on the other hand, still has a complicated look on her face, though.
Thats right Luke.
At that moment, I was suddenly called by name.
I hear youre the best of this year. Would you like to fight me?
Kuku.
He had a gentle smile on his face.
But what is this intense hostility?
Im so hated.
Surely I didnt do anything to him.
Yeah, lets do it.
Good.
I step forward as everyone watches.
We kept their distance, and then we both readied our swords.
Due to the nature of magic, I also use a sword.
Okay.
Whenever youre ready.
Kuku, then I will fight without reservation.
I invoke my magic.
Dark Absorption.
It is a simple magic that absorbs the magic power of the opponent.
But its performance is quite impressive.
Magic is the lifeline for Magicians.
Without magic, nothing they can do.
I was convinced that my Dark Attribute is the strongest attribute in counter-magic
But I couldnt absorb it.
I know about your dark attribute. But I have magnetized my magic and generated a pull to cancel it out. Its not as big a deal as you might think.
Kuku, Ahahahahaha!
Im really not bored.
Its a lot of fun.
Granted: Darkness.
Darkness cloaks the sword in my right hand.
Armor of Darkness.
Darkness took the form of armor and covered my entire body.
Physical Reinforcement x 2
An enormous amount of energy rushes through.
Are you ready?
Come.
With a ripped smile I kicked the ground.
My sister Alice is the most beautiful in the world.
No man in the world would leave her alone.
Yolande understood this fact better than anyone else, which is why he knew that one day Alice would leave him.
He was ready to accept it.
But his beloved sister was changed.
By the devil named Luke.
That is the only thing that is absolutely unacceptable, no matter what.
Hence, Yolande released himself.
His true ability that he had been hiding for a certain purpose.
Now, a monster that was not supposed to be involved in the original story has been released.
