Ascendance of a Bookworm

Called by Rufen, the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest ride the horseman down to the arena. After a roundabout around the arena, Gundorf advanced as the bright loess cloak came into position. Apparently not Flaurelm this year.

"You're not Dr. Flaurelm this year, are you? I'm relieved."

He had also bothered to fly the Ordnants earlier and yelled in a voice that sounded kinky, so if Flaurelm was in charge, he must have hit a troublesome warcraft.

"No, I don't think Dr. Gundorf can be relieved either. You must be familiar with all sorts of warcraft."

"Master Wilfried is right. After collaborative research showed that demon paper was made from demon trees, we gathered a little bit more information about demon trees."

I hear Ignaerts was asked a lot of questions by Gundorf about what demon trees there are in Aerenfest. She couldn't answer much and was shocked, "Are you serious about studying it?"

"Still, a lot of people are watching the game this year"

To the words of Wilfried I looked round the spectator's table. Many people try to get themselves on board and watch Ditter even though it's not their turn to do so. Dunkelferger is even more numerous and bells. The audience seemed a lot more excited than last year because they didn't know what kind of warcraft was coming out, or because of the minor warcraft going on.

"Even the adult knights don't get to see the less famous warcraft of other realms. You must be thrilled to see how to defeat the first Warcraft you see."

Gündorf activates the magic formation at Starp while he does so. Once it emitted a strong light, and when the light settled, a large tree appeared with wasabi and lots of leaves on top of the magic formation.

"Is that a demon tree?

"It must be a demon tree. If you put out a normal tree here, Dr. Gundorf will be blamed."

But it doesn't even move off the spot like a nonsave. I'm not even screaming like Avon. He doesn't seem to be the type to suck up all the magic around him like a trombe. It looks like a normal tree, and it's not like fantasy because it looks like a Rhuell tree.

... um, this tree, what kind of tree is it that makes you want to sing.

There's no movement at all, so much so that I doubt it's really a demon tree.

"That's the first Demon Tree you've ever seen. What is it?

I also asked the Geebes to see if they could make paper about the demon trees in Aerenfest, but I am not familiar with the demon trees in other realms. Worried I gaze, staring at Leonore, who is at the heart of the Cavalier apprentices. Does Leonore know what that is?

"Everyone but Eudit, change it to a weapon to pay for branches, the same as you treat when hunting trombes! Advanced knights get their magic built up in turn! Alexis, get ready."

I can feel a definite confidence from Leonore's voice giving instructions as he changes his stapes and begins to build up his magic. Apparently it was a demon tree I knew.

"Eudit punch the most powerful magic equipment into the gummy mocha to match the signal. As we all know, there should be a lot of thin branches hiding in the leaves at the same time as attacks of more than a certain power. It stretches with a pin for just a few seconds. Pay for as many branches as you can in the meantime. However, be careful not to touch the branches. They say the tip of the branch has thorns and is badly paralyzed."

...... gummy mocha? Isn't that a rubber tree?

I think Ferdinand taught me when it was, not close by with demonic trees like trombes.

"Ignaerts, Marianne. Does the fact that Dr. Gundorf let that gummy mocha out mean he lives in Drevanhell? Or maybe you just happen to know and live somewhere else? I'd like to ask if I can't get the material..."

I asked Ignaerts and Marianne, who interacted with Gundorf. But neither of us seem to know.

"I'll see Dr. Gundorf again."

... If this isn't the game demon tree created with the magic of the teachers, "Prioritize material collection! I was just screaming." Ooh, I want rubber!

As I stared at the gummy mocha thinking of what I could do if I had rubber, the leaselator gently held my shoulder.

"Dear Rosemaine, your body is a little forward. Be careful not to go to Dr. Gundorf for information on Gummy Mocha."

It was cautioned that more and more information could be stolen. It could be dangerous indeed. But I am attracted to Gummy Mocha for the first time.

"Dear Rosemaine, please ask Leonore first before you ask Dr. Gundorf. You know about habitats."

"Right, right"

All I had in mind was to ask Gundorf, who made it appear, but Leonore, who knows how to deal with it, would know about the habitat.

"Even if you know your habitat, give up getting it if it was a special demon tree that only inhabited other territories. I can't take many knights to collect them."

If the other knights came for Aerenfest material, we'd have a problem, wouldn't we? and was told by Brother Cornelius. I am convinced when I think of the scene where the knights of Dunkelferger come to pick up material in a group. I would be in great trouble if they did that.

"So what if we trade in materials?

"In Rosemayne's case, I don't agree with you because you are in danger of swallowing whatever they ask you to do for what you want."

My proposal has been truncated with bassari by Brother Cornelius. "If it's going to fit inside Aerenfest, it's going to be a deal with another realm," the closest people nod to Brother Cornelius.

... I don't think I can choose the means for what I want.

impelled around me, I stare at Gummy Mocha slightly giving up.

In the arena, knight apprenticeships who changed their stapes to weapons like Halvard, which they also saw during trombe exorcism, were already scattered around Gummy Mocha. I don't know how long the branches will stretch, so I seem to be distancing myself somewhat alert.

The advanced knight apprentices were hoarding their magic as instructed, each glowing his weapon like a rainbow.

"Can anyone attack like that?

"Yes, anyone can do it with a little training, as all you have to do is gather the magic you have in your weapon and beat it. However, it just doesn't make much sense for lower or intermediate because the power changes completely depending on the amount of magic and the number of attributes. If you're close to advanced, there will be intermediate knights."

And since it will be an attack that gathers and beats all the magic in your body, they say it's a move that you can't use unless you have a healing pill and someone to follow you during recovery that you can totally defeat. I'm also handing out the rest of the recovery pills I handed out at the service ceremony this time, so maybe I'll be fine.

"Eudit is where the leaves grow, and the senior knight is on the trunk in turn, there will be a slight change of colour, won't there? If I call my name, attack that part!

"Ha!"

Seeing everyone set up, Leonore waved down the hand he was raising high.

"Eudit!"

"Huh!

What Eudit threw away in the sling was the rest of the magic equipment he was using in his ditter with Dunkelferger. There was a loud explosion when it hit the area of the leaves that were refreshing and bushy.

Gummy mocha shakes as if surprised, and thin branches stretch out of the shadows of lots of bushy leaves in a shrugged and quick motion. Is that number about thirty to forty? As Leonore said, there were sharp thorns on the tip part of the branch that jumped out of between the swinging leaves.

"Hey!"

"Ha!

The knight apprentices on the horseman wield Halvard, pruning pins and stretched thin branches one after the other. But it was only a few seconds before the thin branches were stretching pins. He immediately pulls into the leaves and now tries to capture the knight apprentices around him as he moves every noose like a tentacle. The way the tentacles were coming out of the thick, leafy areas looked like jellyfish.

... If you touch a branch, you'll be paralyzed, which means, wood jellyfish! Gummy Mocha is a wood jellyfish. Pretty dangerous. Okay, I remember.

"That branch can't be slashed when it's not stretched! Back off once! I'll punch in!

Having lowered the knight apprentices once, Leonore slaps the magic he accumulates into the trunk of Gummy Mocha. A rainbow light emits from Halvard, shaken alongside a temperamental hanging voice, flying to where the colour appears only slightly dimmer above the trunk.

Gummy Mocha rocked the leaves badly with the landing. As if the all-powerful attack of magic hadn't worked, the same kind of shock doesn't come around. Keeping an eye on the unexpected, the thin branches stretched out shunned shortly after.

"Do it!

Don't miss a moment of stretching, wield a halvard, and cut off a dangerous branch. Leonore said, "Natalier, build up your magic!" He gave instructions and stared at the knights' movements as they took their recovery pills.

Will it continue to attack the full power of magic like this? Is it really working? I look at Leonore with concern, but I am not at all lost in the way Leonore instructs me.

"Alexis!"

"Ahhhhh!

Alexis beats the magic on Leonore's instructions this time. Pretty big light shot in, but still no impact on the perimeter. Mowing the thin branches that pop out, watching the branches pull in again, the knight apprentices gently distance themselves from the gummy mocha. Then it's our next attack.

"Trougot, get ready! Natalier!"

Traugot begins to accumulate magic in his weapon, and Natalier strikes in his magic. Brother Cornelius's words that there is a difference in power depending on the amount of magic and attributes accumulated were well understood. Even complex rainbow colors mixed with a variety of magic are shaded differently for each one, and the power is completely different.

"Weren't the thin dangerous branches almost pruned? Almost stopped coming out."

Angelica muttered that Natalier's attack almost eliminated the branches stretched. Perhaps the one thing that makes me seem a little nagging is that I want to join in too.

"Eudit, I'll pay for the leaves with my wife's hands! Everybody, keep your distance! Mathias, build up your magic!

"Ha!"

The next Leonore instruction was directed at Eudit, not Traugot, who was accumulating magic. Eudit quickly puts his fist-sized magic equipment out of the West Porch where he's putting his magic equipment in and throws it off with a sling.

Fly away so that Eudit's thrown magic equipment is sucked into the leaves that were stuffy and bushy. At the next moment, there was an explosion so loud that it didn't sound even when it hit the rainbow magic, that many leaves burned up all at once.

"Hey, what is that?!?

"Do you use magic equipment like this in a ditter competing for speed!?

Brother Cornelius and Angelica raised their surprises. Twitching also occurs in the arena. Speaking of which, I feel like Matthias was saying that there is very little territory to use magic equipment after becoming a ditter competing for speed.

"This is a magic tool created by Haltmoot for Ditter with Dunkelferger. Since I don't have it, I decided to use it against the territory, but it's more powerful than I expected."

"I was surprised at the fact that I was going to use that on my Dunkelferger opponent. You're intolerant."

"... it's my wife's hand when I'm really about to lose."

Gummy Mocha had not collapsed, although the leaves that were growing were no longer completely burned. The one on the trunk doesn't seem to be burning at all, even if it's wrapped in flames, and the area that was just a little thin remains intact.

...... how strong, gummy mocha!?

With that in mind, the top of the branched trunk began to glow lighter slightly above the lightly colored area. At the same time, some of the branches are starting to move loosely and tentacle-like branches are about to be created again.

"I'll finish it before it stretches. Traugot! Matthias! Attack from the top! Everybody, get ready for the shield!

"Ha!"

Go high, high and drive the riding beast as Traugot and Matthias watch each other move according to Leonore's instructions. The trajectory drawn by the rainbow glowing weapon was very beautiful.

"Hey, ahhh!

"Ahhhh!

They rush in to fall as they swing through Halvard. Traugot and Matthias, the rainbow light for two pierced the gummy mocha straight as if it were a lightning strike.

The ringtone, which is neither Dodon nor Zune, is scratched off by the sound of Merrimeri, where the raw wood of the gummy mocha is broken.

Shortly after, the light of Gummy Mocha and the Magic Formation went out. But the shock that punched in all its magic hasn't gone away. While the shielding knight apprentices are desperately withstanding the shock, "Aerenfest, over!" Rufen's voice echoed.

"Well done. That was a great ditter."

When the knight apprentices return from the arena, their adoptive fathers praise everyone for their excitement. With all the minor warcraft out there, the Knight Apprentices looked very prominent, able to carry out one attack after another without any stray in the course of time.

"I didn't think there was anyone who could lead us this far to the demons of other realms, Leonore."

"I'm afraid so. But I'm not the only one who knew about Gummy Mocha. So that anyone could fight, and so that they could pass on important information, we learned it from all the cavalier apprentices."

Leonore looks around at the knight apprentices as he proudly says so.

"This year I was in a position to direct, so my activity would have stood out. But whoever was to take command, the Knight Apprentice at Aerenfest was able to defeat Gummy Mocha. Next year, when I graduate, or next year, my knowledge of demons will not diminish."

There are materials on the bookshelf that Leonore knows about demons so that everyone can share their knowledge. You just have to read it and remember. Knowledge will be handed down all the way ahead, Leonore smiled.

"I am proud of their efforts as Aub."

It was one of the upper levels of the Knights who was on the guard of his adoptive father instead of his father, who came out one step earlier with a nod to his adoptive father's praise.

"Knowledge is not the only reason why efforts such as those of others are emerging. Intermediate and junior knights who followed the instructions and pruned thin branches that popped up in the attacks of the advanced knights also moved really quickly and collaborated brilliantly. I think it was a battle that seemed like I could take part in the post-adult trombe crusade now. The others are really strong. I want you to keep refining."

"Ha!"

I also get compliments from the Knights, and the Knights Apprentices smile at each other with joy. Joined forces. I could get results. Such an accomplished smile.

"The Knight Apprentices will be watching other Ditter games after this while protecting Charlotte and Rosemaine. Here's Wilfried."

When the adoptive father calls in Wilfried, he tells us to go back to the social arena, as he sees Ditter. I wonder if I should not be with him, and Charlotte laughed cously as he watched his adoptive father and Wilfried lead his side back to the social arena.

"You don't have to look worried like that, sister. To get your brother used to socializing, and then maybe dealing with my offer to put him in."

Charlotte takes my hand, saying so, and directs it to the table. Surrounded by proximity and cavalier apprenticeships, he really left no one near him.

Charlotte, standing next to me, smiles as she overlooks the arena.

"As there were so many pointers from the top territories, I'm just still ranking on the merits of one sister right now. Until Aerenfest's internal affairs stabilize, we can't say that the ranking has been finalized. If you can't reform the consciousness of the Aerenfest nobles, you can't decide where to put me."

No other realm has yet been identified whether it is better to treat Aerenfest as a higher realm or to consider it to drop rank immediately. That's why they say there's a very wide range of suits being sent to Charlotte.

"… I think we need considerable consciousness reform, but I hope that by the time I graduate, I will be recognized as a superior territory from all around me."

That would make it a lot easier to decide who to deal with, Charlotte said. They're good for each other with Aerenfest and someone to catch up with to some extent, but they can't decide on criteria to catch up with now.

"Hey, Charlotte. So far Aerenfest has not felt too stuffed with cut wings. Unlike defeated and defeated territories, which cut through the coup in neutrality, no major changes were needed. But Solemn Qing should make a big difference."

I think that the internal affairs are in havoc with the former Veronicans being solemnly cleansed and those to be punished continuing. We have to multiply that mayhem, make things more efficient, and change our consciousness.

"However, such stories may be good after you return to your territory. Enjoy a territorial rivalry now, Charlotte."

"Yes, sister"

One demon after another appeared that I had never seen in Ditter. Ditters in the upper realm enjoyed watching the game listening to the correct way of attacking by the commentary of the knight apprentices who studied.

As Brother Cornelius admired, "You're all studying well. Leonore taught you that, didn't he? Praised," Leonore is happily hung up. At a glance, I can see how the lovers I haven't seen in a long time are each other, and I'm glad I didn't have Dermuel.

"Speaking of which, did Angelica come to see Traugot grow? How was it?

There are also people around here who are spitting and watching over what is likely to develop into a love story, something that is, and cannot be, managed to develop. "At the very least, if not someone stronger than Cornelius," how did Traugot appear in Angelica's eyes?

"… we have reconfirmed the strength of Master Bonifatius," Angelica said with a softly placed hand on her cheek as she drew everyone's attention. Apparently it doesn't go as expected around.

"This is the end of all the ditters. I'd like to present a ritual by the knights of Dunkelferger."

Dunkelferger's blue cloak rides the beast and descends to the arena simultaneously, roaring "Ooooooooooooooooooooooo..." to match Rufen's voice. After touring the arena in the same way the students circled the arena before starting Ditter, the Dunkelferger knights turned off the horseman and jumped onto the arena.

The knights lined up in circles around Aub Dunkelferger. It is a movement that I am really used to, and I can see that I have completely determined my standing position. Only Aub Dunkelferger was holding Lydenshaft's spear firmly in his right hand, even though no one else had put out a stamp yet. I took it from Dunkelferger's temple, and no, I guess he rented it. Even though it is just after the service ceremony, the demonic stone at the tip of the ear is blue because it is already filled with magic.

Don and the spear hit the ground, and Aub opened his mouth.

"Many of the adult knights have not learned more than Rufen in the House of Lords and do not know the ritual dance. It seems that we do not know what effect it will have when we have seen and heard the research presentation. For this reason, he decided to demonstrate the ritual by the Knights of Dunkelferger. Let me show you the real divinity and divine artifacts that have degenerated little by little over time and were supposed to be forgotten!

Oh, I looked around the arena, freaking out that the sound of amazement sounded louder than I expected. Every territory seems interested, and most spectators are trying to cram to the front to see Dunkelferger's ritual.

"Originally, we need to perform rituals the day before to get blessings, get used to multiple blessings, and restore magic"

Because a lot of blessings put the Knight Apprentices in Aerenfest in such a situation that they couldn't handle their bodies well, and using regular healing pills doesn't immediately restore them.

"But the knights of Dunkelferger no longer need it. Rituals were performed many times in advance to roughly calculate the amount of magic needed to obtain the blessings and to reduce the burden per capita by increasing the number of rituals"

They've deliberately tweaked it so that they can demonstrate without recovery drugs. It is an amazing way to get in. I understand a little how the First Lady would like to resent me.

"And this is the spear of the Lydenshaft, a real divine instrument borrowed from the Temple"

That's what Aub Dunkelferger said, grabbing a gassy Rydenshaft spear with both hands. Keep it gushing and magical. The spear on the Ryden shaft wasn't just the tip of the ear, but the whole thing went blue stained and began to put together the light that would discharge with the bees.

"Hey, what's that?!?

"Is that what the temple god equipment will look like!?

I hear nobles who neither go to the temple nor see first-hand the Divine Fixtures raise their surprises to the spear of the Lyden shaft, which holds the blue light together.

"Give us strength to come to battle!

With a blue glowing spear in his hand, Aub Dunkelferger screamed like a bark. At the same time, the knights who were putting out the stapes simultaneously said, "Randze!" and turn it into a spear.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

For me, with the words of prayer that I was accustomed to hearing, a spear struck Don and the earth once.

"Gain strength to hold victory in our hands. The unbeatable power of Angleaf. Gain speed to hold victory in our hands. Faster than anyone, Steiferises."

Rotate the spear as you sing, striking the pattern to the ground. If you take the spear back, it's the same as I've seen before that the armored part made of demonic stone and the metallic sound of it hitting like a clap.

But the rituals of the adults seemed more familiar to me than the apprentices, and although they were the same rituals, they looked a lot different. Not only is the movement aligned, but it also combines flowing elegance even though it is a fierce movement.

"Fight!"

Aub Dunkelferger raised Lydenshaft's spear high, and the knights around him said, "Oh!," he lifts high simultaneously as he raises his ambitious voice and pokes heaven.

At the same time, a pillar of blue light rose with Don. The light of blessings falls and some fly away somewhere.

It would happen if rituals were held in the House of Lords, a natural sight, but it would still be a phenomenon that does not occur in the territory. A surprising voice was also raised by Dunkelferger on the pillar of light he saw for the first time. And the adults of Aerenfest are also the first faces to see incredible objects in the columns of light they see.

"This is the pillar of light…"

Even if I were reading it in my report, I wouldn't know if I didn't actually see it. Soon me and Charlotte nodded at the words of my adoptive father, who stood behind me.

"It always happens when we perform rituals in the House of Lords. Strange, isn't it?"

Fewer students have seen the pillars of light. Aside from students from Dunkelferger and Aerenfest, there are as many Lordship candidates and senior civilian officials who participated in the service. Then, is it about Dunkelferger and a relatively close dorm person?

"I see. If you're going to have this phenomenon with your natural face, they're going to say it's the Virgin, the incarnation of the Goddess."

And the knights of Dunkelferger destroy the demons created by Rufen. The swiftness, the strength of the attack and the toughness to move instantly, even with multiple blessings, were the difference between the students and the cloud mud.

At the end Hannelore comes out to perform the ritual of offering victory to the gods and returning the blessings he was giving. Turn the starp into a Fairfulemare wand and turn it slowly to circle overhead. Zan, there was a sound of waves, and all the magic from the knights' bodies swayed together like a palatine flame, and went up high into the sky.

"The above is the divine matter passed down to Dunkelferger"

A voice of admiration and excitement rises from the audience to the voice of Aub Dunkelferger. Thus, the territorial rivalry ended.
