Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

That was just after the Chinatsu game. The prince and I were out of the infirmary and watching the semifinals in the shadows. It's good that I was, but I was beaten by the intensity of the game, the impact, the difference in level. That's what you can tell because they're better than the average audience. If they show such a battle, their heads just hurt enough to crack.

"Prince, countermeasures, there is...?

"... I'm thinking"

Students returning to the infirmary, which is now the operational meeting room, to begin the meeting. But the atmosphere is terribly dark.

"I don't... At least if Harna takes it seriously, it means it's that level..."

"Oh, man. The prince hasn't given an answer yet. Shall I refrain from words that motivate you?"

"But I'm pretty sure it's true... I'm also surprised that the real Wheeler was so strong, but Mr. Chinatsu went on top of it even more. If Mr. Chinatsu and Mr. Harna are each other's strengths, there is no chance of winning how much we supported the prince..."

"So I'm telling you not to be weak! If even 1% is possible, it would be our responsibility to stand on top of it, making an endless effort to keep that hope alive! There has to be some way...!

"Hmm, I don't know..."

"They're like brave men. No, it's actually that of the brave... even when it comes to fighting measures that envisage the brave opponent, it's quite..."

Fortunately, the breaks caused by the destruction of the stage were pinched, but I never seem to be able to think together about the measures at the heart of the battle against Yoona. Noct thinks as he puts black smoke out of his head, but the result is the same as the others. It's almost like it's jammed.

"Yes, sir. Excuse me. So, wow, what is this room... bad air? Are you ventilating properly?

In the meantime, Delis intrudes without reading the air. Even though I was not more willing to read the air, the precipitated air had unfortunately allowed me to demonstrate the delicacy of my heart hating it.

"I was haunting your apprentice with my head. Absolutely, Captain Nell and you are the ones who raised the monster."

"I'm honored to be so praised by Prince Diaz. I don't care if I didn't grow it, sooner or later, I think Hal would have blossomed. I'm just increasing my efficiency and providing what I need.... I'm competent as a chore help, and I'm not willing to let go."

"Housekeeping help?

"Oh, no, talk about this one. More than that, you seem to be stuck for a long time?

As Derris looks around, everyone leans aside. Silently, it was like saying yes.

"The reaction swallowed up the whole situation. There is too much difference between the strength of Hull, he does not know how to take measures, and he repeats a grand debate. Right?

"... oh, definitely with that perception. We haven't figured out how to attack Harna Katsuragi yet."

The prince, leaning against the wall, said so with his decision face. Even at a time like this, Derris is impressed with the prince who pierces his style, while showing his hands wide open as if to dispel this atmosphere like an overnight stay.

"Attention! Good news for you guys with such dark faces!

"Ro, good news...?

"What?

"Good news is good news. That's three, too! What do you say, you see hope?

"No, I can't see the story..."

"... First, shall I talk to you? I'll decide if it's good news."

"Boulders are princes, wise. Well, let me explain, shall I?

Derris begins explaining the three good news that will help the princes.

"The first one. As a mentor, I'm giving Hal the bondage to fight in the semifinals. Well, it's been the same since World War One."

"Hmmm... what's that tie?

"The use of that giant cane is forbidden. You can't use magic through a cane or use it for physical attacks. Oh, shall we also ban defense with canes? I don't know if I need to tie you up."

"It's forbidden to use magic, attack, or defense... if it really does, there will certainly be no more wand threats. The uncertainty surrounding it can also be eliminated."

"Right? That's the second good news."

Derris puts up his index finger and middle finger and shows them what he calls a piece sign.

"No cane abandonment. I forbid you to let the wand go out of your hand or put it on stage, like I did when I specifically fought the dry there"

"Eh, what's that...?

Sorte floats a question mark. Dry, on the other hand, was nodding as he was convinced.

"To cut manoeuvres?

"Exactly. That wand is as tearful and heavy as it looks. It seems to be the most powerful dry of all, and it's a level of whether it can be lifted gradually. A prince or a keel can't do it first."

"Huh? I think that kid was swinging with one hand during the break...?

"... so it's jammed, that's what I'm talking about."

"What the hell!?

Additionally, it is also forbidden for Yuna to use magic that increases or decreases Gravi and other weights to lighten the doggone wand. Because in part one of the good news, you touch the magical use through the wand. It becomes a great shackle for Yona to be unable to fight the original battle using dark magic.

"Half Hal's mobility would be a pretty good battle, wouldn't it? See, the light of hope grew again. And here's the good news that keeps turning back, and it's going to be the craziest part three."

Derris sticks out three fingers.

"I'll build auxiliary magic on the prince."

"" "" "" "- Eh!" "" "

The students, including the prince, had a look that could be taken as stunning or confusing.

"Oh, that's..."

"It's nothing to wonder, is it? Even though your magic isn't immature, it's still developing. Then it would be more efficient for me to immediately grant a few steps of auxiliary magic. Simple story."

"Wait! In the first place, why would you, Harna's master, offer such favorable conditions to the prince? That's weird what you think!

"Think of that area as, well, part of the service. The Prince of the Horn and I became a community of destiny. This is the first step in building trust. Well, if you don't trust me, you don't mind turning me down. In that case, the good news, part 1 and part 2, will be implemented."

"Oh, Prince, what do you want to do?

………

Diaz thinks. The odds of winning increase out of step, even if you just let the wand set limits involved. But if you're asked if you can beat Yoona by fulfilling it alone, it's subtle to be honest. I would like to fulfill the third good news, if possible. In order to do this, it is necessary to decipher Delis' sincerity.

Derris, who made the alliance, is Yuna's master. Would the Master himself imitate the gift of salt to his enemies here? On the other hand, is there any advantage to doing so?

Kara opened her mouth just then when the prince got to that idea.

"... So, what's the real deal?

"Seriously, it's over without a fight. I want to avoid hitting Hal with Chinatsu without even exercising prep, if possible. It's good to fight your opponents and then get to the finals."

"Let's be honest..."

………

Out of the blue, the truth of the matter could easily be drawn out.

"Either way, you don't have a choice. I'm telling you I'm gonna do the handouts from here. If we're gonna stick to winning or losing, we have to show our intentions of winning no matter what we use. So, what do we do, Prince Diaz?

"I..."

- And time returns to one thing in Nell's private room. The prince took the fiercest second to the semi-finals.
