Ascendance of a Bookworm

"This day has finally arrived."

That's what Rufen said on Ditter Day with a seemingly refreshing hot, bitter smile as he headed from Dunkelferger to the arena where he had his designation. They don't make it fun to have treasure stealing ditters in the House of Lords.

"No, I didn't think there was going to be a dowry ditter in the House of Lords."

By the way, this dowry ditter seems to be done occasionally in Dunkelferger. When the male side proposed and the female parent objected, they said that the ditters that relatives do with each other to get the bride are the dowry ditters.

He was surprised that his son-in-law attached the conditions this time Aerenfest won because he had nothing to bet on just giving up when he lost. There's no such custom in Aerenfest, so I can't be dittering or anything like that even though I don't have anything to gain.

... Persistent Dunkelferger boys giving up could be important, though.

"I would love for Rosemayne to come to Dunkelferger," says Rufen with a smile. So that I could push it away, and look down at me with a face that I could see at a glance that Hirshur was in an extremely grumpy mood.

Hillsur is supposed to be judging from above with the audience, as a judgment on Aerenfest's part. Rufen says he'll fly around the arena with a horseback to judge. Hillsur is in a bad mood for not being able to say no as a dorm warden and being dragged out of the lab when research fever is booming by refraining from territorial rivalries.

"Dear Rosemaine, I thought you asked me not to interrupt my research, what does that mean?

"I was signed up by Dunkelferger to make it a situation I couldn't refuse. Complaints should be directed to Dunkelferger."

"I've already included a complaint"

I couldn't seem to care less if I didn't say a word even though I knew the situation. Me and Wilfried will all apologize, "I'm sorry."

"My research environment is finally in place. Now I'm in trouble when Aerenfest beats me."

This is probably support for becoming Hirschühl. "... I'll do my best," I had to answer.

If you look around the audience, Dunkelferger and Aerenfest students are coming to support you in total. I could see a few of the Dunkelfergers in the audience with big magic equipment. Although I am not wearing a helmet, I ask Hannelore, who, like the knightly apprentices, has been hardened with full body armor.

"Um, Master Hannelore. How do people in the audience have magic equipment? You're not allowed to fight from the audience, are you?

"That's what Aub made me hold that you said you wanted to see how the battle went, and it's a magic tool to fit Ditter in. There's nothing in the way of the fight, so I'm glad you don't mind."

He said he wanted to go into the House of Lords to watch the dowry ditter, and he got Rufen in trouble. By using this magic trick, they managed to get me to put up with it.

"Does having such magic equipment mean that Aub Dunkelferger is willing to embark on this battle that took Lady Hannelore's dowry?

On Lestiraut's solo walk, I had hope that Aub would stop me, but Hannelore looked down sadly.

"I can't do anything naughty like take down a game that's been decided once. Win anything! That's why."

"This one was greatly appreciated when you took it down..."

Neither of them that are wagered as treasures desire such a battle, but they are never-ending.

"Well, let's go"

With Rufen at the forefront, the Cavalier Apprentices descend into the arena aboard the Cavalier Beast. Hannelore and I will wave goodbye, and I will ride the horseman too. My horseman has a box full of magic equipment and healing pills.

"Brother, sister. Good luck."

With the support of Charlotte, I looked around at the junior cavalier apprentices surrounding Charlotte. I'm really anxious around Charlotte because all the strong escort knights in the upper classes will be competing in Ditter today. I give my voice to Theodore, who refrains from being around Charlotte.

"Theodore, please protect Charlotte. I asked for it."

"I'll take care of it. I wish you and your sister the best of luck from here."

With the support of Charlotte and the others on my back, I stepped down to the Aerenfest position on the arena. All athletes erase the horseman once and line up in position. After confirming that Aegidor and Brunhilde have carried the boxes out of my horseman, I will also erase and align the horseman once.

Advanced to intermediate knight apprenticeships rich in magic in the front row. Matthias, Laurenz and Traugot are all in the front row. In that next row is Leonore, who gives the overall instructions along with the Intermediate Knight Apprentice.

Behind the knight apprentices in two rows are not full-body armor, but two side-services with simple armor to protect part of it. By the way, I am also a simple armor. Armor made of demonic stones, so it's hard to move if you're not used to full body armor, though it doesn't weigh. Even if the armor made of cardboard is light, it feels the same as there are restrictions on movement in various places. Even though I move slowly, I must avoid being any slower.

Between Aegidor and Brunhilde there is a vigil fleet firmly cemented with full body armor. And at the rearmost is Eudit, who does a long-range attack while escorting me and me, this treasure.

… At the top of the opening, the battle is whether I can put up the shield of Szczeria.

I recall the thrilled tactics of the meeting.

Leonore tells me to put out a shield with Gettilt with the signal of initiation, so that he can hide in that shield and complete the shield of Szeria with a eulogy.

They say there's a sure obstruction of Dunkelferger to keep the windshield from being put up from the predictions of the knight apprentices. At the start point, however, they must both be in their respective positions and because of the remoteness of the positions, a long-range attack will come.

For this reason, the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest are all supposed to buy chanting time at Gettylt to prevent Dunkelferger attacks, and three of Vilfleet, Aegidor and Brunhilde are supposed to slap a wide range of Vashens into Dunkelferger positions.

The first to use witchcraft aiding extensive witchcraft, Aegidor touched his waist belt with a tense face. Don't hold a stamp or a magic kit until you have a signal to start.

"Both, forward!

Wilfried holds his helmet aside in Rufen's voice and moves forward. From Dunkelferger's position Lestiraut proceeded similarly with his helmet aside.

So for the first time I turned my eyes to the position of Dunkelferger. Strengthen your vision and you'll also see how your opponent's position looks. I noticed that there were also people at Dunkelferger's position with large boxes at their feet. He seems to be bringing in a lot of magic equipment and healing pills. Dunkelferger thought they were all knights because they were all hardened with full body armor, but maybe they have a martial arts sidekick.

... do you mean to think the same? Or is this the normal dowry ditter for the other side?

As likely as this one, there was advice and cooperation from people in the Territory.

... Are you all right?

My body trembles small in tension. Dunkelferger has a ditter story to tell, so some Ferdinand tactics are spilling out. With advice from the knights who fought in the past, it is possible that there are a number of leaks in our aim.

Never lose, sent Haltmoot in like every day, and not only did he get a full backup from his adoptive father, who lent him his divine artifacts, but his uncle and father also gave him advice on various tactics. You can't lose.

Focusing on Rufen, two Vilfleet and Restylaut turned to each other.

Rufen stepped out before Restylaut and Wilfried stared at each other. Wilfried and Restylaut also put out a starp and offer it forward, raising it up high as Lufen moves.

"Let's fight square and square."

"We can also protect Rosemaine from anything more than Aub, they say. You can't lose."

Speak to each other, turn your backs on each other and you return to your positions. Rufen stays the stamp up.

Two people back in position wore helmets. When Rufen, who confirmed it, glowed Starp blue, he swung down loudly with the bun.

"Begin!"

"Gettylt!"

The Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest put out a stamp and set up a shield in unison. I similarly give out a round shield in Gettylt, and begin to celebrate in its shadow.

Szczeria, the guardian of the wind.

Once he grips the magic apparatus that Aegidor was lowering to his waist before me, when he begins to celebrate, he throws it up high in the sky. A number of magic formations are drawn in the air. It's a wide-ranging magic aid made by Haltmoot. It is a magic tool that was originally Clarissa's research.

"O twelve goddesses of kinship, who serve the side."

I saw a magic formation unfold in the air. The moment the three Wilfries hoisted their staples high, they said, "Dunkelferger threw something! Stand up, all of you!" Matthias raised his voice.

"Hear my prayers, give me holy power, and pay."

The next moment, a tremendous amount of light illuminated Aerenfest's position. The fact that I was behind several knight apprentices, and, above all, thanks to the fact that only one person did not fly and was short, the light hardly touched me and I was able to continue to celebrate. But the knight apprentices in the front row seemed completely blinded, "My eyes! I'm blind!" I hear you screaming.

"Vashen!"

The Wilfries also cast a spell while trying to cover their faces with one arm. In the meantime, we just need water flowing towards Dunkelferger's position. I can do it even if my eyes are blinded and I can barely see the front.

It is Vashen, where three people, Vilfleet, Aegidor and Brunhilde, who, if only for their magical power, will be at the top of the Aerenfest dorm, have beaten almost all of their strength. Large quantities of water like waterfalls poured towards Dunkelferger.

"Wow!

"What is this!?

The knight apprentice of Dunkelferger, who was putting out a horseman to attack while Aerenfest's eyes were dazzled, and the knight apprentice, who was waving up a big sword to attack with all his might, swooping like a water dragon, is pushed away by the massive amount of water that hits him and rolls in a gobble.

Now if Hannelore had been pushed away from the position, the battle would have been decided, but unfortunately it seemed to have been stopped in the position by the knight apprentices who set up shields to protect the treasure.

Vashen's power with a ton of magic by the three of them is strong, but the effect is only about ten seconds. Vashen simply cleans the spot clean and eliminates any traces, so there is no heavy wet cloak in the water.

Pushed away by so much water momentum, Dunkelferger's knight apprentices, who were taken aback, said, "Hurry back!" It won't take another ten seconds for me to get my posture in order. In total, you earn about twenty seconds, but enough time for me to complete the shield of Szczeria.

"I have the shield of the wind that keeps harmful things away from me!

There is a hard sound with the kings, and the hemispherical Szeerian shield is completed. At the same time, a yellow column of light rose from the shield of Szeria.

"Huh!?

The pillars of light are a common phenomenon when rituals are performed in the House of Lords, but never before when shields were made, so I was very surprised. With surprise, I look up at the pillars of light. Speaking of which, I usually use my magic power in the ring to make Szeerian shields. It was the first time I had ever uttered a word of prayer since I made a shield that changed Starp with Gettylt.

"... even if you think from the fact that Dunkelferger gets blessings, does it mean it's important to use a stamp to perform rituals and celebrate?

As I groaned as I looked up at the pillars of light, I looked back at me and Eudit as Leonore instructed the dazzling knight apprentices to enter the shield.

"Lady Rosemaine, hurry up and have a sea ritual! Eudit, buy me some time! The knights are useless."

I immediately put out another stamp to create the wand of Fairfulemaire, the goddess of the sea, which I examined and specially trained in the library. You glow the starp and chant "Strait Corben" as you write the symbol of Fairfulemaire, the goddess of the sea, in the air. One procedure is necessary to avoid confusion with Fruitraine's wand.

Fairfulemaire, goddess of the sea.

I begin to swing my wand slowly as I recite the festivities of Fairfulemaire, the goddess of the sea, whom I have just remembered. Return to the gods the blessings Dunkelferger is giving for this match.

While I was putting out my wand, Eudit said, "I'm going!," he raised his voice and jumped on the horseman. Eudit's horseman rushes out to replace the three Wilfries who step back to take their healing pills.

"Yikes!

Eudit uses a sling to fly magic equipment about the size of a softball toward Dunkelferger's position as he is getting his attitude in order.

"Something's flying in!

"Beat it back!

"No! Take it on the net!

A knight apprentice who suggested there could be an explosion captured magic equipment flying in a net that deformed Starp. The magic appliance, the moment it touches the net, explodes, sprinkling smoke and fine dust like a slight red smokescreen all around it.

"Bye! My eyes!"

"Ho ho! Ooh! My throat..."

"Don't inhale! My hands and feet are paralyzed."

Among the cavalier apprentices in Dunkelferger's camp, who were in the process of developing their attitude, they suffered. It's not in a very aggressive state.

"That's Haltmoot. You have no mercy for Lord Rosemaine's enemies."

That's what Brunhilde, who is taking recovery pills and restoring his magic, said as impressed. It is a magic tool used by Haltmoot to squash and disperse powdered white and red spotted fruits called negatives that he had his knight apprentices collect at the collection site.

When I get into my eyes, I can't stop crying, and when I inhale through my nose, the back of my nose hurts and runny nose comes out, and when I inhale through my mouth, the back of my throat hurts tingly, and some people have fever or paralyzed my hands and feet. If you wash it off with Vashen, you should be able to take about the pain in your eyes, and the pain won't last that long, Haltmoot said. But compared to Dunkelferger, who just blinded me with light, I don't think Aerenfest's magic equipment is spicy.

"Damn! Isn't that what Rosemayne has known for two years now, such as to use a mean, cowardly hand that she can't think of as a very virgin? Don't be frightened! Wash off this kind of dust with Vashen."

... Hartmoot thought about it, not me.

With that in mind, I cast my magic on the magic tools of physical strengthening, while turning the Guru and the Fairful Maire wand greatly. As the wand moved, I began to hear the noise of the tide. Blessings began to be sucked from the bodies of Dunkelferger's knight apprentices as they went along with it.

Forced to break the blessing. I can see the knight apprentices relaxing who were used to their bodies for blessings. It then calms the mind by taking away the will of Dunkelferger, who was burning in his struggling heart. It will be even longer before I feel more like fighting.

"Ditter, what are you going to do if the battle isn't over!?

I can hear Lestiraut screaming at Dunkelferger's position. However, this was originally a ritual to relieve the heat, not that it should not be done unless after the ditter.

... Well, it's not something to do in the middle of the winter either.

"I offer my magic with a prayer of gratitude to the gods who blessed us."

Celebrate and put up the Fairfulemare wand toward the sky high. A pillar of light stood, making a noise with Don, and the magic of blessings, which he had taken from everyone by accident, ran up against the sky. The Dunkelferger knight apprentices, who were deprived of their blessings long before the battle, are flattered, but this should bring them a little closer to each other.

By the time the Knight Apprentices of Dunkelferger enter combat posture again, the dazzling eyes of the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest also seem to have returned, and everyone is in combat posture aboard the Knight Beast.

"Don't get distracted, though Master Rosemayne has erased my blessings. Dunkelferger has Lartalc. Be sure to confront Lartalc with both Traugot and Laurenz. Nice."

To Leonore's voice, "Ha!," said Laurenz and Traugot. In Aerenfest close-range fights, it looks like Dunkelferger has two opponents who need to be stopped for two.

Compared to two years ago, when they were kicked in an instant, the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest are able to collaborate, and their magic is increasing and stronger. Still, it seems that Dunkelferger is something else. "Because Ditter has been so much more flourishing lately than before to get blessings in rituals," Matthias said.

If it's comparable to chess in terms of strength, Dunkelferger, who has a large number of people, can afford to sort out all the pawns but infantry, even though Aerenfest, with its small number of people, normally aligns pawns in infantry crossings. In the meantime, we have to stop by the two of us, Traugot and Laurenz, so Lartalc can say that there is a difference in personal skill so much that the flying car has been turned upside down from the start.

"Blessings to all of Aerenfest, the god of martial arts, Angrief."

I enchant the ring and give the blessings of Angleaf. I thought we could fight each other a little bit, but I did the ritual to keep standing up, so I also came in bad shape if I didn't restore my magic.

... I need a lot of magic to keep my shield, too, because my brother Wilfried is going to be using AVILIBE's sword.

After many attempts, the strength of the Szeerian shield is weakened when the sword of Avelibe is used nearby. Mythologically, they have a stronger sword of Averibe than the shield of Szeria. I wonder if Dunkelferger's shield measures are around.

"Master Rosemayne should get on the horseman and focus on recovery inside. Master Wilfried asks you to be prepared so that you can use the sword of AVILLIBE once you have given the signal. Brunhilde, Aegidor. Take turns giving Eudit the magic caged magic equipment while you watch your magic residue."

According to Leonore and Matthias, in order to bring at least a little into each other's battles, it's important for Eudit to reduce the number of people he can go on offense by ranged offenses and letting the other guards allocate numbers.

"Natalier or Alexis should move so that Laurenz and Traugot can focus on Lartalc. Matthias, up there, please."

"Ha!"

Knight apprentices jump out of formation at Leonore's direction. Dunkelferger also moves as Aerenfest moves.

"Where the blessings have been taken away, there is no way Dunkelferger loses to the Knight Apprentice of Aerenfest! Go, Lar Tark! Kick Aerenfest!

"Ha!"

Dunkelferger's knight apprentices rushed out on the horseback with Lestiraut's voice.

From there on ahead is the battle between the knights. I look at the situation of war as I take my gentle restorative medicine in the Lesser Bus.

As Leonore and the others expected, Eudit had succeeded in reducing the number of people in battle by driving the horseman by increasing the number of people from Aerenfest who would be thoroughly guarded by throwing magic equipment. Still, considering that each and every one of them will be up against a strong Dunkelferger in Aerenfest's advanced knightliness, he says, is critical.

... Wow, fast.

I should have taken the blessing, but the Knight Apprentices of Dunkelferger move a little faster than the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest.

"Where the blessings are gone, the sword moves themselves could not have faded so much!

I could see Laurenz desperately stopping Lartalc from slashing me with his sword.

"Don't cool me for taking Eudit's magic equipment from the front and draining my nose"

"So shut up! Isn't it someone who was blinded by this magic trick and couldn't move?

The battle over began with a provocative battle of cursing each other.
