"Hey Arihai, good job"

Wearing water from his head in a water drinking area, he was called from across the street.

If you turn your gaze while the water hits you, there's the head of the department dressed in a karate torso.

It's not something I can say, but it's not very tall, and it looks harmless and has a soft face. It doesn't have as much muscle on it as my torso looks bukabuka.

I can somehow tell from the looks of a man playing martial arts or someone who remembers his arm, but from the eyes of such a drifting guard, he didn't look like he was playing karate.

I've heard that the manager started karate most of the time since I went to high school, so maybe I can't help it.

"Ah... I'm tired"

The stream guard stops the water while wiping his face with a towel and turns back to the manager.

He had a refreshing grin with Ni.

"No, and I was listening to Uwasa... Awesome, Arihi-kun"

"No...... you guys"

"At first, I thought it was going to be a bit of a battle... is it like I just had one pair of hands and they read it in my hand? I can't hit anything with my moves anymore."

This was also the case with middle school clubs and dojos that I have been attending for years.

Everyone says with their mouths together.

"He stops attacking".

Many now do not want to work with drift guards.

Karate that just came in, but that's what they'll eventually say here.

Shortly after joining the club, the manager (who has a boyfriend, he's cute) said, "You look beautiful," and said, "Forbidden love early in high school, or am I finally going up the adult stairs, too? Fifteen Spring!" and so on. It was a thrilling drift protection, but nothing. "You're doing karate and you don't have any scratches on your face or anything". He is a misguided bastard.

Finally, 'Read'.

Read the opponent's movements and habits instantly, dealing with them and connecting them to a counterattack. I'm good at that kind of technology. The lord of the dojo was so admired for his drift protection.

...... I couldn't read the manager's intentions though.

"But really... if Arihai is here, there will be the first provincial tournament breaker from us..."

The general manager dropped his gaze in his own hand and clenched his fist in a good way.

"No... well, don't expect much there..."

He was an exodus guardian who answered with a bitter laugh, but he was confident in his heart.

In the dojo, in the club, ever. Few, if any, could even touch themselves. It was a small number of people in secondary school and ended up in a tournament-like tournament at all.

At last, however, the opportunity has come to test our strength.

This is not the prefectural tournament. Even nationwide, let it work.

- That's how I participated in the provincial tournament, the final.

You're going to clash with that man.

Unlike the almost intact, winning drift protection, it was scratchy.

But the confronted drift shield breathes.

You really are a high school student, because of your thick body. Enlarged muscles so much that they may explode as soon as they are touched. A boneless face reminiscent of a sharpened rock, the too thick neck "Kubi" to be equipped with it, in the short hair that is neatly pruned. The eye light was so powerful that it was close to that of the beast that it accidentally became aware of the tremor just because it was relative.

The name is Ryozo Kirihata. Same as drift protection, freshman year in high school.

With a senior like you, the bear who could have become a human being no matter how you look at it, Liu Xiao was wary.

"- I've heard rumors, there's current protection. Whether my moves will hit me or not. Honestly, I'm shaking."

Oh, this is no good.

No matter what you think, your guard is fine dust.

Is that an excuse for being swallowed up there......

- The game time was fifteen seconds. I don't remember anything from there.

I'm guessing this compound spent an extraordinary amount of effort to get this far stronger.

I don't want to use words like talent.

Still, I thought. He said this is what a talented 'special' guy is.

If this guy comes to Grimcrows, he'll do a lot more amazing work than I do.

So - oh, you've been dreaming about 'over there' for a long time - oh, my God. The boy realized.

Lifeguard was visiting Dr. Locke's research building for errands carrying luggage at work.

"Why don't you take a little break?" Sweet for the Doctor's words, he sits in a chair and drinks tea neatly.

"I wonder if it's time for you to come to this world for about a month, too. Are you used to it?

A big senior who looked completely used to spending fourteen years asking me that.

"Well... why not? Ah, but even if you want ramen and sushi, you can't eat it - or the amazing eight-hour round trip between the college and Wang Du - and you still don't feel used to it..."

Speaking of unfamiliar, you haven't seen Belgrette in another week... and drifting protection came to mind.

Three days ago, Mia and Belgrette had a little conversation with each other when they communicated, and they said, "Hey, how are you?" "Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

It might still have been a bad idea to hug her on impulse that night a week ago.

"Oh, is it time for the second order announcement?"

The Doctor groans emotionally about that as he looks at the material removed from the luggage he brought to him by the drift guard.

"Publication of rank?

When I asked, I also remembered the drift protection. Mia told me before that the ranking of all school students will be announced.

"Sort of. It's an event where you test in practice and in writing to rank everyone as a chanter, Maggie. I wonder if it's like an intermediate or final test in Japan. Even so, there are more tests this way."

In fact, for the past two days or so, Lifeguard had spent his lunch break lonely on a bench in the courtyard.

Mia said, "I'm a little busy studying! I'm sorry!" but I guess it was for this ranking announcement.

"It's a wax where the students shred their sneeze between sixth and three hundred and eight places. Yeah, it's a youth."

"From sixth place, or..."

Liquid shielding really remembers to be hooked on the saying that up to the fifth place is excluded from the beginning.

"The top five 'pentas'? Is it that special? They are."

"Oh, I wonder if you've heard a bit about how that looks. Rather than being special... you're right to say 'different' from the beginning."

"No?"

"Tell you what, they may look like you. You are a wacko in this world who can demonstrate superhuman physical abilities…" Penta "can also be considered its Divine Chant" Oracle "version.... That's right..."

And, the Doctor has asked for asylum like a teacher nominating students there.

"What do you think is an enduring challenge for the chanter Magee?

"Huh? No, no, even if they say so... I'm not Maggie, the chanter."

"You don't have to think hard. Right, I guess I should say that the weakness of the chanter Mage... We have to overcome this," he said.

Weaknesses...... Oh, and drift protection came to mind.

I remember both Belgrette and Edvin standing around to cover it.

"... chanting time?

"Yes. No matter how powerful the Divine Chant Oracle can be used, it doesn't seem to take long to activate. Belle, for example, has the blow of a great sword that can even fatally injure Farvnar, but she can't beat the whole Draughtrow on her own. This is simply because you can't buy time to chant one-on-one with Draughtrow"

It seemed like a long time ago, but the first time I was on my way to college, in the woods, when I fought Draughtrow.

At that time, Belgrette had been blown away by draughtrow, before buying chanting time.

Even in the post-fight conversation, I remember there was talk about chanting time.

"Shortening the chant. This is the challenge for Maggie, the chanter. I think Belle will eventually be a great knight who can defeat Draughtrow even single-handedly."

That's perfectly agreeable.

Like about myself, arm in arm. Yeah, nod.

"But 'Penta' overturns this underlying. First of all, I don't need chanting time to exercise my technique."

"Huh?"

There was an accidental leak in the missing voice from the mouth of the shield.

"I just waved it and it generates a tornado. Burn enemies only with the aftermath of the flame that surrounds them. I freeze everything just by kneading my hands. That kind of phenomenon is more than a natural disaster, impossible no matter how much chanting time the chanter Mage spends. I can wake up those levels of things to breathe, with no need for chanting or anything. I have never heard of the" Prarna ", the soul and mind power held in its body, which is also in different digits, depleted by the use of the technique. That's what Penta is all about."

"... na"

Out of the question.

It's easy to understand if you think about it in a game. Powerful attack magic usually carries the risk of long chanting times and large consumption magic points. That's why something called game balance comes into being.

If you say you don't have that risk and you can do as much of the big moves as you want, then there's no balance or anything anymore. It's already a mess.

"That's why the country desperately wants to secure 'Penta' as a talented person. There are currently eight 'Penta' who belong to Raindeer. Including the five who are enrolled in the college, they will be thirteen. I've never seen five people enrolled in a college before. As a country, I'm sure these five will want to pull in as a formal 'penta' at any cost once they graduate."

There is the word "one thousand." If there's nothing exaggerating or exaggerating about 'Penta', it would be exactly like that. It also seemed natural to talk about the country wanting it. But.

"... but what happens if there's a bad guy in 'Penta'? Isn't this going to be a big deal?

If so many beings turn to the enemy, who can stop them?

"Oh. That's why I have 'Penta' in my key position. For example, Captain Latias, the head of Silver Legion Squad Silvalios."

"Huh!? Is he" Penta "?

I said it out loud by accident.

I totally thought he was a bit of a biter about his pursuit abilities and detrefs below Mia.

"Ha. And then the Dean of Nastudio, who is the head of this college, is also 'Penta'. He's a busy man, he's often gone, so I guess I haven't met him yet."

"Oh, right..."

Dean of Nastadio. It was about the first time I heard the name.

It may be rude to say that Lifeguard works in college, but he didn't know.

"But well, I remembered him as a bad guy"

Huh... and with a slightly troubled face, Dr. Locke exhales sigh and smoke at the same time.

"In" Penta "at the college, there's a boy named Dino. That's not very good. No, well," Penta "has a lot of kids like that. I haven't even been to regular inspections lately, and I don't know where or what I'm doing."

It was a name I also heard from Mia and Lenore during the lunch break the other day. It's definitely fourth in the college, the best flame user.

"I don't think it's the first time that Liquid Shield Kung engages with 'Penta'. I don't usually come to college. Because most of the time I use that ability to work outside."

"I don't know..."

"For now," Penta "is a wacko for all those special people."

"... special, or"

Lifeguard reminded me of my dream this morning.

"... ah!

It had been a long time since we talked about that. Lifeguard jumped out of the research building in a hurry to get back to work.
