Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

"Hmm, what's with all this smokescreen?!?

Right after the stage was covered in darkness, the proud aristocrat, Nocto Noland, jumped out of it with momentum. He succeeded in jumping several times on the off-site lawn, rolling several times with the gobble as it was and gradually stopping. He had no consciousness, just that the wand seemed to be firmly held in his hands in a mint-like condition.

"Thank you!

When the darkness of the stage cleared and Yuna, who appeared out of it, greeted him energetically after the game, the time of the venue moved gradually.

"This time again, it's off site! Game over. Winner, Harna Katsuragi......!

"Ya, I knew it! It's good to have the stretchers ready in advance! And the medical team hurry!

A medical team was already standing by near the venue, taking advantage of the qualifying lessons. Although the initial start-up was slightly delayed, after rapid first aid was applied, Knokt is transported by stretcher to the infirmary. Kara, third place, was taken in his hand and Knokt, sixth place, was also instantly killed. The upset was spreading to those watching the game in the audience at this result of the successive defeats of the upper ranks of the golden generation.

"... hey, wasn't this game supposed to be a fight for each other? It's overwhelming, that kid... the Chinatsu girl's been in the lead for a long time, and she's falling short of expectations."

"Idiot, can you predict this...! The third place Kara Ill just now was even said to be one of the few delicacies that could compete against the chief candidate Wheelel! That's, like... damn, who the hell are they!?

Many in the audience are already in contact with graduating students and are involved in their path. Especially the top performers who compete in this graduation festival.

But at this graduation festival, which they adorn at the end of their students, that map of power changed all at once. The match between Yuna and Chinatsu in the qualifying round greatly caught the audience's interest. But still, the opponents are the lower-ranking students who are critical for graduation. There was also visual obstruction by Yona's smokescreen, at which point no one had been identified with precise strength, and even if they were strong, they were thought to be equal to or less than the superior ones.

Then the first round began to digest, and their thoughts began to go crazy. It was only during the first three fights that the game proceeded in due course, all in the form of the top performers winning. But after the match between Chinatsu and Kara, unexpected developments occurred to keep them standing. Wheelel wins or Kara causes the biggest madness. Kara, a leading candidate who had been conceived as such, was defeated while being overwhelmed by Chinatsu. If it's not an opening knockout like qualifying, the difference in strength is obvious if you look at the contents of the game. Even Nocto, the next Yona opponent, is right. Let there be no more flowers than the upper ranks, promising stocks in charge of the sixth place of the golden generation. If he is killed instantly by Yuna in qualifying like that, there is no stand-up for the earliest golden generation.

Who are those two, and if they're not there, talk to me from the dean. Scout-like people in the industry were busily starting to move as they exchanged those words. And here is one who is surprised that Yoonada's power was more than expected. It is Joseph, Prime Minister of the Magic Guide.

(unsavory. That power, unsavory...! That was a move that, as opposed to fatiguing, was only felt to the degree of preparatory exercise, against students with a third grade who would have had the power of level 4. If I wanted to, I could have put my hands down right like Harna did. Can Wheelel win against those two? Assuming you lose, Derris is bound to entangle them in a post to the royal castle! In that case, soon we will be working with countries to gather the strong, the Union of the Brave has hands too -)

Joseph sat in the guest room, worried with his head about the good that no one was there. The plan of Joseph, emanating from the fact that Nell, the Knight Commander, showed no interest in the Crusade of the Demon King, is undoubtedly about to be crushed by Yuna and Chinatsu, whom he transferred. If I hadn't given Yuna to Delis then, if I had kept Chinatsu out of Nell's sight. There's nothing I can do about it now, but all that comes to mind.

"Grandpa... something, something to worry about...?

"Wi, weerel!?

In the private room that I thought no one was in, it seemed that Weerell had entered the room before I knew it. She looked at her grandfather holding her head and tilted her neck worryingly.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Grandpa, I've shown Wheelel some disrespect. I'm just getting a little tired because this is what the castle work was putting in these days. I'm sorry I made you worry."

"... are you worried about Harna and Chinatsu?

"- Eh!"

Joseph slightly opens his eyes when he is poked at a matter where he did not expect to be pointed out. So you were sure, Wheelel nodded frequently, but slowly.

"Mr. Harna and Mr. Chinatsu, you're very strong... honestly, that physical ability is a threat... so you worried about me...?

"Oh, no - Hmm, you can't hide it from Wheeler... to tell you the truth, it is"

Joseph speaks out like he gave up.

"As I told you before, they are the gatekeepers of the guy who supports Delis, who threatens our country. If something happens that those two win at this graduation festival, there will always be disaster. That's how dangerous they are."

"But Grandpa... Mr. Harna or Mr. Chinatsu was a good man... too suspicious...?

"Even if they were good, Derris on it is evil and Nell is too vicious. Before Wheelel entered the college, I was chased to the seat of the Knights Commander by Nell. I managed to guard the throne of the Wizard of the Royal Palace and the Chancellor of Magic, who presided over the civilian affairs, but what a piece of paper that was. If this status is taken away by Derris, then the magic kingdom of Ardelheit will be completely under their control. Now I'm just excited to increase my authority as Chancellor of Magic Guidance, but he's a short old man with me. That's why I want Wheelel to win the graduation festival, take on my assistant at the royal castle, and take over as Chancellor of the Magic Guide"

Joseph's words were untrue. Though I'm not saying that I'm dyeing my hands for the necessary evils either, that's because Wheelel is still young, and I've decided to talk to him after some age. Joseph, whose belly exploration had become a daily tea meal as the head of the country, also seemed to expose his true self only in front of Wheelel.

"Honestly, I don't know if you're a bad person... but I won't expose myself to losing with my fingers crossed... even if I lose with power, I have the magic I've cultivated... only magic, because I'll never lose...!

"Wee, rel......!

Even while Joseph's eyeballs got hot, the game went on, and all his plans for Game 1 were over. The number of people who had sixteen is reduced to eight, and the next match opponent by the tournament is determined. Game two, Yona's opponent is Dry Bang, who ranks fourth in grades. Chinatsu's opponent is Therese Batten, who ranks fifth in grades. The game is extremely harsh...... maybe.
