Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

It was around the evening after we drank and made a scene that we left the city to exorcise the bandits.

What the bandits are turning into a Negijo is like a half-minute walk down a mountain path into a mountain forest near a village in Filia.

The hall was built in the past by a favorite nobleman, and it seems that the bandits occupied and inhabited the place where they were tired of being abandoned as it was.

When we arrive near the village of Filia at dawn after a night in the wilderness on the road, we take off the street and enter the sidewalk, starting on the mountain path that leads to the hall.

The mountain roads were not wide but so well maintained that there was no great bitterness to go on.

"It must be their territory from around here. We have to proceed with caution."

"It is. Not all of a sudden, the arrows don't fly."

Cyril and Mi whisper such caution as they climb a narrow mountain path in a quiet (nasty) morning.

When I heard that, Satsuki - Phyllia was touching a knife that lowered from her waist with a tense face.

I'll tell the three of them about the spell I used in order to share information.

"A bow and arrow would be fine. It has a spell of arrow (missile difflection). If it's a projectile, it plays everything, if not a siege crossbow (barista). I need to get five meters away from my perimeter."

When I told him that, Mi and Cyril stopped and let him squint his eyes and look at me better.

"... are you serious"

"Seriously."

"... I always thought that your magic was almost irregular, wasn't it? I don't know where it's coming from. I don't have to be scared of bows and arrows..."

The ratings from Mi and Cyril were excellent.

Even though it cannot be exercised by beginners, it is not so high-ranking magic, but it seems to have a sufficiently surprising effect on those who are not bright by magic.

In fact, although arrowhead (missile difflection) spells often seem to be considered for operation in times of war and elsewhere, in recent years they say there have not been many cases leading to operations at the tactical level.

At one time, the tactic of disabling enemy fire by arranging mid-level mages up front was prevalent, but this tactic was a highly gambling way of operating, which also led to the annoying and massive loss of valuable military science if one step was wrong.

There are also circumstances such as the fact that the enemy began to prepare a siege crossbow (barista) for that countermeasure, and there was loud protest from the magician at the scene, and it seems that these tactics have been abandoned in recent wars.

But this spell, on the other hand, is very useful in cases like this one, and is considered to be of high value for use.

When dealing with monsters that also use human beings, or bows and arrows such as goblins, it can be said that it is a sufficiently treasured spell.

Most of all...

"It's also a prep in case. Before that, the perception inhibition spell has made it difficult for us to be noticed. Unless the watch is watching this one so carefully, our presence will not be exposed to the enemy at an early stage."

Recognition inhibition (incentive) is a spell that makes people and objects in the range "less recognizable" from those out of the range.

Just as few people, for example, turn their attention to the mere stone falling on the side of the road, so that what falls within the scope of this spell is rarely turned to special attention.

It doesn't do much to get to a stage where you are strongly aware of hostiles, such as during combat, but it is a spell that can be an effective means for covert action if it is at a stage prior to that.

"... Ah, it's the same, outrageous prudence"

"That's right, or what..."

Hearing my explanation, for some reason, it's Mi and Cyril shrugging their shoulders.

No excuse, but I'll give them one explanation.

"Even now, from my reflections on the recent undead exorcism, I intend to avoid the multiplicity of spells that consume more magic (mana) and choose spells that can be made more effective with less magic"

…… Reflection? "

"Reflection."

I'll give you a parrot back to the leaning Mi.

Next to her, on the other hand, Cyril looked equally strange.

"Though it didn't even look like I was making some big mistake. It seemed more like your monster was on the beat."

"That's the failure. Too many resources were unnecessarily cut. If there was another problem, I would have had trouble dealing with it. If Satsuki's power and the presence of Cyril, the cleric (Holy Order), were added, the fireball (Fireball) in that phase should have been stopped with three shots."

"Ha... you handsomely solved all those S-grade problems, but you can't do it with the results Aurai..."

He seems to have figured me out somehow.

I can hear the conversations between the two of them, "Now it's a bucket of stuff," but I decide not to care.

By the way, there are those who often mistake it, but "reflection" is not about regretting or puffing me with failure.

The next thought is to improve oneself by feeding on failure so as not to step on the same.

There are no people who don't fail, but there are people who don't take advantage of failure.

That little pile of differences, in the long run, turns out to be a huge difference in ability-- that's what I think.

"Um..."

And there the girl in the kimono raised her hand as a jerk.

"What the hell, Philia?"

"Well, Mr. Satsuki just said, 'That's my Will. Hey, hey, isn't that amazing, Philia?' That's what I'm going to say..."

I got a headache.

"Right." I don't belong to you, "he said.

"Oh, yes, I hear you." Oh, my God, what are you doing? I hope you made me look good in front of Philia. "

Is there something about your soul being jittery or something?

Although interesting as a research subject.

─ ─ Besides, this is not the kind of fun scene you should be looking for right now.

Though they have double insurance, this is almost a battlefield. You shouldn't be too distracted.

"Anyway, keep your mind together. I relaxed because I thickened my defenses, no ex, no kid."

Yes, sir.

Copy that.

"Oh, I see."

To my decree, Mi and Cyril, who once again increase their vigilance, and the girl in samurai who riddles with the pattern of a knife in the face of tension.

That's how we climbed the mountain path towards the bandit's hall.
