Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

- Day 82 of training.

Fortresses have been built on the borders of the great empire of Elderado, which can cross spears with many nations, without exception, and are responsible for preventing the invasion of enemies from outside. Especially on the border with the somatic country (Kukoku) Carmaine, there was a fortress of iron walls that had been created by assembling excerpts of Elderado's technology, and the troops assigned there were also strong. Furthermore, one of the Empire's most powerful Grand Eight generals, the "Iron and Steel General" Garese, commands this difficult castle. He is an immortal old mighty man who is brave but will always survive on the battlefield. His style of combat is specialized in melee battles armed with large spears, large shields and heavy armor, and very few within the Empire can break his guard. If it is a pure martial arts with only arms, few voices say that Galesse is the strongest. Therefore the warrior temperament admires him and makes him a great goal.

………

Since the beginning of the war against Carmine, it has become routine for Galesse to stand on the lookout deck of the fortress. Gareze is on the front lines, so he says he will direct the guard of this fortress himself. Titos approved of this, saying that if it were Galesse, it would be worthy of entrusting the spear the most, and the morale of the bloody soldiers as well. Officially granted permission by the Emperor, Garese travelled to the land early on board the Grounddragon. It was all an act to bring down the blade of repudiation to Carmine, who had offered a joke. Galesse's snort, which had accumulated depression, was rough, and even after arriving at the fortress, he kept waiting for the time when the war would begin without rest.

………

"Behold, Master Gareze himself is watched over by the enemy. That harsh look, what the hell are you thinking?

"It has been decided. Imagine a battle with enemy monsters so that no matter when they arrive, they will have no problems, boosting their own morale. If you become a soldier on my level, you will see an aura emanating from your flesh over your armor. But that's amazing... that aura, it's both harsh and calm. It conveys the temper of knowing every corner of this battlefield and pulling it out alone."

"Oh, that glance over Carmine's unclean land shivers enemies and gives us courage. Even though many days have passed since the designated date and time of the war, there has been no change on the Carmine side. This kind of beating, if normal, also lowers morale. But with Lord Gareze watching over the enemy every day, we can always carve it into our hearts when this is the worst battlefield. In fact, the training is feverish, and the original watchman seems to be bleeding with defeat."

"That's exactly the Commander's mirror. All right, it's a break, but let's say we encourage training too!

"Come on, you've always told Lady Gareze that over-training like the Empire is poisonous to her body, right? Well, but I might feel that way now. Let's just hang out with him for a little while!

The soldiers at the fortress had seen such a Galesse figure and had increased their will against Carmine. Oddly enough, it will have an impact on this entire fortress that greatly overshadows Derris' expectations. But the Galesse of the day...

(... whoa whoa! When the hell are you going to come!? I've already cut half the promised due date! Could I possibly have the wrong date and time!? No, hey! I've checked with my men many times! I sent a telegram to the Imperial City! What was the must-win measure that Wasi was thinking!? While traveling in a corner dragon, that's what I said I was adjusting to until time critical......! I didn't care about details such as a one-week time limit, but I was supposed to have my men and I give them immediate guidance on this occasion...! But why doesn't the enemy show up? According to their rules, the starting point will always be beyond the border. If so, there can only be this land where the fortress was built. Anyway, this is the only land where the Elderado Empire meets Carmine.... Ha! But what if there are other borders I don't know about? Expanding territory before the eagles know it, and that's where we're dealing with it properly? Wah, I just thought this was where the showdown was, and I didn't consider any other possibilities, but could that be possible? No, I'm not good at studying, but I'm familiar with military science. Of course, with that, I have a perfect grasp of the geography of Elderado... Sure, but for once, should I really check it out? I'm tempted to ask my men about their territory on the boulder, and would you try to sneak up on Empire City? Um, that's good. If you are as insignificant as possible and just ask if it is possible that Vaccarat's subordination may appear elsewhere, you may lose your reputation. Here's the thing, it feels dandy worrying about the situation...... um, that's good! Next, the time to go to Kawaya is the goal! Okay, wow...!

- Of this fortress, it was the most confusing. Can you even call me the most hooked on Derris' scorching measures? It's the look that stares at the enemy and looks like he's waiting to fight now or now, but in his mind, all sorts of emotions intersect, eventually leading to agitation. Every day I was stuck here, everyday, just looking for a frustrating place to pay off in the absence of someone to stab the spear.

It was only a real coincidence that his men kept calm and morale because of him and still maintained the highest state of battle. However, Galesse is a strength in a way, as he is often mistaken and attributes most of his image currently formed to it.

"... Hey, you there"

"Ha, ha! What is it, Master Gareze?

"I'll come back for a while. In the meantime, don't take your eyes off the enemy land, okay?

"Roger that, sir! In lieu of life!

The overwhelming shape of the viewer remains intact, and Gareze leaves this place to the watchman of the main office to head to the communications room of Sora and Fortress. However, if I get fast feet here, it can also lead to you being patient with the bathroom. For this reason, it was Galesse, who stood back and tried to make his way on a prestigious foot.

"Hey, connect me to the Imperial City. It's urgent."

Upon arrival in the communications room, Gareze instructs the communications officer to do so. Long-range communications via special magic items can only be used by a limited number of people in this fortress. That's about the head of the fortress, later Galesse, the Great Eight. The instructed correspondent activates the Magic Item to transmit magic to the Imperial City.

"Dear Gareze, we're connected."

"Uhm."

Gareze receives the receiver and starts drawing in his head the person he needs to hear.

(Is it still best to connect to Ernesto here? He is still in the castle as an escort to his staff and Majesty, and he has doubled his knowledge. An extra head turns is a flaw in the balls, but one is a good man's kind. would be better than the others)

Thoughts are done, Galesse is satisfied.

"It's Galesse. Immediately after General Ohachi's Ernesto..."

"- Ernesto is busy right now. I'll listen to you instead."

Garese's satisfying expression solidifies. It wasn't the voice of a castle correspondent that I heard more than a receiver, it was the voice of a woman who sounded familiar.

"That voice, acerola!?

"Yes, it's me. I'm trying to communicate somewhere else. No, I'm trying to communicate. He's a man who can't even read the timing if he can't read the air. So, what? You should do something soon. I'll tell him. He's the same general as me. You wouldn't be in trouble, would you?

"No, the..."

I screwed up.
