Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode One Hundred Thirty-eight: The People of the Balghazar Family (I)

I want power.

How many times have I thought that?

I want to be strong.

Since when did I feel that way?

Every time I build strength, every time I get stronger, I hear more, more. I'm going to need more strength. I'll have to be stronger.

I'm sure there's no limit to your will to power.

I guess I will continue to seek infinitely close until I reach the limits of my power.

As much as that's not necessarily a good thing, I know.

Still, we need strength.

Without strength, without strength, we cannot defeat our enemies. We need strength to protect one of our loved ones.

That's not just power either.

A tremendous amount of power became necessary in one's view.

(In the first place, is this in itself an excess for one person?)

Ruufa was blurry and thinking about that, staring at each and every feather grown on Silfed Feather's wings.

He is in the garden, the main residence of the Balghazar family in the Wang capital Gandion Herd Street. I summoned Silfed Feather while I was doing voluntary training with the intention of light exercise after a meal. A pair of pure white wings grown from his back sublime him to an angelic being. Of course, not angel wings, etc. Just a subpoena armed. It's a willing weapon called from another world.

Its wings have a special power. Its ability to dominate the atmosphere and manipulate the wind can make the Lord of the Wings float or fly in the sky, or it can be like flying a mass of air. It was also possible to attack with wings, or to fly wings. The summoning armament, which can be expected to attack, defend, move and be active in all situations, was inspired by the summoning armament of his master Gloria-Ourelia. I thought that a general-purpose subpoena that could handle every situation was what the Gandhian royal power deserved. And in fact, Ruufa has been able to fight and survive many wars so far in this Silfed Feather. If this wasn't Silfed Feather, I wouldn't have been able to fight this far as I wanted.

"Hey, it's cool whenever you see it"

Surprised by the voices that jumped in unexpectedly, Ruufa blinked her eyes. There was a boy I saw in the front left. The blonde blue-eyed boy with the bag was Ronan-Bargazar - Ruufa's year's estranged brother. What surprised Ruufa was not that Ronan was there. This is the main residence of the Barghazar family. No wonder Ronan is here. But when it suddenly appears within the sensing range of Ruufa wearing a subpoena, I cannot help but be surprised.

"Ronan. How long have you been there?

"I just got back! Brother, you were so focused you didn't notice."

"... it was. Welcome home, Ronan."

"I'm home! I mean, brother, welcome home!

"Oh, right. I'm home."

Ruufa smiled back at Ronan's energetic appearance. Ruufa and Ronan are about ten years apart. Ronan has only recently turned fourteen, and the bag in his hand indicates he is going back to school. He attends a very normal school, not a cadet school or something. He attended a regular school, albeit a descendant of the Barghazar family, because he was less willing to join the Gandhian army, or even spoiled.

He was born after Algazard got older. Adorable, you won't have to spoil it either. And I didn't say anything around it. Because the heirs to the Barghazar family had Laksas and had nothing to complain about as long as they had Laksas. Laxus had already begun to take the road as a knight at the time of Ronan's birth. The more splendid Laxus became, the stronger Ruufa's envy for his brother became, and he began to recognize things like his incompetence, his powerlessness, but on the other hand, Ruufa would also have been allowed to be as free as Ronan.

If Laksas had been such a person that he would not have lived up to the expectations of Algazard and those around him, Ruufa would have been raised more severely than Laksas, and no armed summoner Ruufa Zenon-Bargazar would have been born.

I probably owe everything to my brother to have Ruufa right now. Of course, I appreciate Laxus, but I've never spoken of those things face to face. As a deputy chief of SS, I sometimes exchange words with another SS chief, Laxus, but had little opportunity to discuss it as a brother, etc. He said that Laksas would rarely return to the main residence of the Barghazar family, and even if he did, it did not necessarily mean that Ruufa would be at the main residence at that time. Just as Ruufa sleeps in the Lion's Tail building, Laxus often sleeps in the Lion's Fang building, too.

(too focused, or)

Ruufa rebelled his words in his chest as he looked out for Ronan sitting in a chair placed in the garden. And shake your head in your chest. I'm too focused, that's not true. Instead, I should say there was too much clutter to notice. If he was concentrating on consciousness, he couldn't have noticed any abnormalities that had occurred in the sensing range. Failure to notice only meant that he was distracted by something else.

Ruufa narrowed her eyes that the armed summoner should not do so.

Spread the wings of the silphide feather and concentrate your consciousness. Open the wings force and start interfering with the atmosphere. First, it puts the air that wraps around the body under its control, gradually strengthening its sphere of power. Not rapidly, but gradually. Slowly, but surely, expands the sphere of power, eventually creating a sphere-shaped sphere of power around him. Windy Castle. really small, really brittle,

"I'll be an armed summoner, too."

Not a word of surprise could disturb the concentration. It was an astonishing statement, and Ruufa's gaze at the void was poured on Ronan, but there was nothing like the wind castle collapsing. Ask while maintaining the sphere of power.

"Become an armed summoner? What are you talking about?

I wondered if anyone had even been a mentor.

"Royal Summoner School, I applied!

"I didn't hear you."

"I didn't say."

Ronan has gone for granted. That would be so. If it's not said, I don't know. But it's also true that I wanted you to come. Even though it has nothing to do with the Royal Summoner School, for once, Ruufa is in a position of being a royal summoner. When it came to armed summoners, it was the truth that I wanted you to talk to me.

"I guess you got your father's permission, didn't you?

"You bet -. I don't want to be an armed summoner without your father's permission. I'm not your brother."

"Ha ha... that sounds like I've become an armed summoner without your father's permission"

"Aren't you?

Ronan got it right. The bag placed on the desk is overthrown. Ruufa's wind knocked him down. reluctantly, admit it.

"Yes, but..."

"I knew it! Everyone was worried that your brother had suddenly disappeared. If you'd left with your father's permission, you wouldn't have made such a scene."

"Noisy......"

"That's right. Even Brother Lak was angry, and all over the mansion, it was a big commotion. Especially my mother."

"... oh, I'm listening"

Ruufa nodded quietly. You can't even remember. It was when he finished his training as an armed summoner, left the former master Gloria-Ourelia, and Bal returned to the Zahr family. My father, Algazard, accepted Ruufa for nothing, and my mother cried and rejoiced, but my brother, Laxus, was a stern reprimand for Ruufa. After Ruufa ran away, he was preached how much noise the Barghazar family had become. Regardless of Algazard, who doesn't move on all things, my mother says that the impact of Ruufa's disappearance is so much that I fell asleep for a while. Ruufa felt sorry for the matter from the bottom of her heart, and she reflected, and then tried to do whatever she could for her mother. To fill a decade of blanks, I had to stay on my side and do it all the time.

"So I thought I'd give up the armed summoner if my father disagreed, but I got permission. Even so, I don't know if I can get into school."

"I thought you were eighty times the applicant"

"Narrow gates are narrow gates, too."

I put my jaw on the hand that Ronan put on his desk. A disgruntled mouthful, but I don't know how he feels. Because that gate is too narrow and it is highly unlikely that we will be able to get through, even though we have had the opportunity to possibly be an armed summoner because of it.

"It's the first time for the school side. For the first time in small numbers, to not see how things are going"

"I know that, but come on"

"What, even if we fall this time, we'll have another chance."

"But you want to learn the art of armed subpoena quickly and help His Majesty."

Ronan said that with his eyes shining and struck Ruufa in the chest.

(Want to help His Majesty...?)

Though spoiled and raised, that was the kind of idea that had to be thought of as a Balghazar family person. It is no exaggeration to say that the Balghazar family exists for the royal family. It is the ancient teachings passed down to the Balghazar family that it is the sword of the royal family and the shield, and it is not too much to say why the house exists. For a long time - before the founding of the Gandhian nation, the Balghazar family followed the Gandhian royal family and continued to be its sword and shield. To what was born in that house, he is preached how venerable and wonderful the Royal Gandhian is, and from the moment he is willing, he becomes a royal sword and a shield and is educated as much as possible. That's what made Ruufa royal first. The Balghazar family's education policy made it so. I guess Ronan has also had the same education. It's unimaginable from him to be free, but he's also sworn allegiance to the Gandhian royal family.

"But five, ten years away. There's nothing I can do but rush."

"I know that... so you want to enroll as soon as possible"

I can also understand what Ronan is trying to say. I want to master armed summons as soon as possible. I want to be an armed summoner as soon as possible and help the royal family. The purity of that thought is painfully apparent to Ruufa, who had been undergoing rigorous training for ten years. I wanted to finish my training quickly and return to the King's Capital.

So Ruufa suggested to Ronan.

"If you can't enroll in school and want to learn armed summons immediately, you can introduce him to your master."

"Really!?

"Oh. I can't promise you that, because it's convenient over there."

What floated behind Ruufa's brain was Gloria-Ourelia's face. Until now, Gloria's whereabouts have been unknown. I wasn't even sure if she was inside Gandhia, but this time, it turns out she belonged to Uncle Gisellcourt's private unit, and I can always go see her. Whether Gloria will take it or not, I can ask for it.

Most of all, it's about Gloria. If Ruufa bows his head, he will take Ronan as his disciple. But Ruufa didn't get that far to Ronan. Speaking of which, Ronan may make his apprenticeship to Gloria a priority over admission to school. As for Ruufa, he thought it would be better to go into school and get a legitimate education than to teach Gloria. If you train at Gloria's place, you'll definitely grow up as an armed summoner, but that's a story if you can get past Gloria's tough training. If I can't get over it, I'll have to give up my path as an armed summoner.

Meanwhile, the Royal School of Summoners would not do anything unscrupulous like Gloria's education. It is the training agency for armed summoners by the state. An institution whose purpose is to produce large quantities of armed summoners, and should not do anything that the fallen will continue to do. There is also a great deal of rhetoric, such as Zalwarn's Dinobot Cave, where armed summoners have killed each other.

"Brother! Thanks! Still glad to hear it!

Ronan came running over to Ruufa as he stood up in the momentum to knock down the chair. Hold him as he is, Ruufa is deflected. Ronan's purity is too dazzling for Ruufa today.

"Ronan... is that your brother?

Now, although he noticed an intruder within sensing range, Ruufa couldn't hide his surprise that the intruder was Laxus. Of course, I know that this is the main residence of the Barghazar family, and it's not weird for Laksas to come in and out.

"What, Brother Lak?

Ronan was also surprised, but that is due to the fact that Laxus rarely returns to the main mansion from time to time.

On the way to the main residence, Laxus stopped. The man with the title of highest knight and lion rider (Xanav) in Gandhia looked a little suspicious when he looked at this one.

"What, we both had it together"

Laxus loosened his princely expression a little bit. In the royal palace, Laxus always looks tough, and in his parents' home, he gives a serene look. But since it's about family that knows that look, many humans misinterpret Laxus as always harsh and angry. And for the reason of that misunderstanding, Laxus doesn't notice.

"Just fine"

"Was it just right?

"What do you mean?

Ruufa met Ronan in the face. Then, at about the same time, I see Laxus.

"I need to talk to your father. I was just thinking of offering you some use."

"Talk to your father?

"Why even us?

'Cause it's an important story about the Balghazar family.'

Laxus' eyes were sharp and Ruufa learned to feel her spine freeze.
