Infinite Gacha - Chapter 246

"La-la-la-la-la-la, Mr. Dirk!　The soldiers who will fight with you in mock battles will not be able to defy my brother!　So please show us some lenient mercy!"

...... understand. Rest assured that I will take it easy on you, Princess Lilith."

On the way to the center of the training center, Lilith called out to me, and I couldn't ignore her, so I responded.

She was about to say my real name, perhaps because she was in a state of emotional turmoil.

I think it's admirable that she knows my abilities and wishes for the safety of her country's soldiers, but if I said in a loud voice, "Please have mercy on me," I would have touched the pride of the soldiers.

undefinedAs expected, the eyes of the soldiers behind Claw lit up with a fighting spirit.

I felt this slight inability to read the air was similar to her brother Claw.

(Is it because they are siblings?　Or is it the result of being royalty, oblivious to the emotions of those below them?)

I think about unnecessary things as I move.

When I moved to the center of the training center, five racial soldiers were waiting for me.

They consisted of 3 swords on shields and 2 archers.

The sword blades were crushed and the arrowheads of the arrows were removed.

(Perhaps they intend to defend with shields, cut down with archers, and finally hit them in the sack with multiple numbers of people. I guess they don't want us, who are in and out of "Giant Tower Town (Kyotogai)", to attend the Six Principality Conference. ......)

It's a solid, if solid, strategy.

Naturally, Lilith protests.

'Brother!　Mr. Dirk is alone!　But it is not fair to challenge them with more than one person!"

I don't care if it's a normal mock battle, this is an escort test, okay?　Thieves and monsters do not necessarily challenge you one on one.　The test would be meaningless if it were not conducted in a more realistic simulation.

You certainly have a point, brother, but ......

Then shut up and watch. Then we will begin the test.

Brother!

Ignoring Lilith's cries in May, Claw stands between us like a referee.

I forgive you everything except the killing of your opponent. Remember, this is a test, but it is designed to be a real battle.

After explaining the simple rules, I distance myself from the soldiers and myself.

Claw shouts the signal to begin.

Then start ......!

Obeying his voice, the enemy vanguard takes a defensive position with their shields up to protect the archers behind them.

The archers quickly set their arrows on the strings and narrowed their aim.

As for me - I step straight into the fray, paying no attention to what my opponent is doing!

I'll go easy on you, of course, but ...... you'll have to put up with a certain amount of pain."

Agh!

In front, call out to the person in the middle of the x3 soldiers holding shields.

I thrust his shield from the front with my staff, and then I blow him away with all my might.

The first time I saw him, I thought, "No matter how many A-level adventurers he is, he's just a kid," and I guess I judged him by his looks.

In addition to his quick step, the soldier did not seem to have expected that he was strong enough to blow away the shield of a well-trained adult man, and he rolled on the ground with a bewildered scream.

The archers, who were protected by their shields, did not expect a single soldier with a shield to be blown away, and they hurriedly took evasive action.

Naturally, there was no time to shoot the bow on the string.

I slipped between the shield soldiers on either side of me, who had frozen up in surprise, and hit them in the neck, knocking them unconscious.

Furthermore, I poked the archers, who were concentrating on evading without shooting arrows, in the abdomen with my staff to neutralize them.

The mock battle is over in less than 10 seconds.

The claw and racial soldiers are speechless and stunned by the reality before their eyes.

I called out to them.

Have I proved to you that I'm not a liability?"

......

"Huh?"

Don't be a wimp!"

Instead of getting a pass, I get yelled at by Claw.

Why is that? I beat him quickly to show my ability, and I did not hurt the soldiers as much as Lilith had requested.

Why is he yelling at me, "Don't be a child.

As I was questioning this, Claw started yelling at me.

He is dressed like a sorcerer, yet he doesn't use any magic and defeats the soldiers!　You are actually a warrior, not a sorcerer!　It is dishonest for a warrior to dress up as a sorcerer and deceive!　You coward!　This simulation is rigged!　It must be so!"

Yeah. ......"

I am not dressed as a magician to fool my opponent.

Through the cards I obtained in the "Infinite Gacha," I can perform magic that is almost as good as that of a first-rate magician.

Therefore, I can be called a "magician" in terms of classification, so I am dressed as a magician.

I have no right to be criticized for that.

I didn't use magic because I didn't have to.

I make an angry face at Claude's stupid words.

Lilith noticed the change in my expression and hurriedly intervened with a blue face.

Oh, brother!　Please calm down!　It's a misunderstanding!　Mr. Dirk is a magician, no doubt. He just had the ability and didn't need to use magic."

I can't believe it!　How can there be a sorcerer who is that strong in close combat?

(?　Hey, I think I've heard a line similar to Claw's before (......).

His shouts make me think about something else.

Then Lilith spoke to me.

Then let's have Mr. Dirk actually use his magic!　That should prove that you are a magician. Mr. Dirk, would you please use one of your magic tricks?　Preferably something loud and strong that everyone can easily understand. ......"

Flashy and powerful magic?

Lilith's suggestion made sense to convince Clow and the other soldiers.

Since there was no reason to refuse, I went along with her proposal.

Then, I'll use as much flashy and strong magic as possible. It's going to be a little loud, so everyone be careful.

I turn to an open space in the training center.

Lilith and Fake Yume followed my instructions and held their ears with both hands.

Claw, the soldiers just give me a stinky look.

Bakugou Flame!

Release one "SSR Bakugou Flame".

The sound of the impact echoed in my gut.

The explosion of flames soars up to scorch the heavens.

Flames, dust, and shockwaves dance in the training center.

When the dust settles, the ground of the training center is gouged out, creating a crater.

I ask Lilith.

Princess Lilith, is this all right?"

Yes. ...... is fine."

Even though she was holding her ears, the shock of the "SSR Bakugou Flame" surprised Lilith, who replied in a whisper & polite manner.

Meanwhile, the claw & soldiers say .......

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

Clough and some of the soldiers were so surprised by the shock, the sound of the explosion, and the flames that they fell on their butts.

It was quite awkward to see the older brother Claus and the soldiers slumped over while the younger sister Lilith was weak but standing tall.

However, they had no time to worry about it, and their expressions were still as dumbfounded as if their souls had been drained out.

Lilith calls out to them.

Lilith calls out to them, "Brother, do you understand what I'm saying?　When Mr. Dirk gets serious, it doesn't matter if there are 100s or 1000s of people, let alone 5. It is no different. Is this still a problem for you as an escort?"

No, no, no, no, no. There is no problem with the escort. ......"

Still unable to recover from the shock, Clough sat up, and in a hushed tone of voice told us, "There is no problem with the escort.

In other words, he passed the test.

Thanks to this, he was able to win the role of Lilith's escort in both name and reality.
