"Ha... ha... ha!

"Damn...... where have you been!!?

Forests present in the vicinity of the Mercross School of Magic.

It is not as large as the Kafka Forest, but it is a place of considerable size.

So right now, Albert and Evie were in the middle of training.

"... this way."

When the boss and the sound are heard from the top, the relentless attack pours down on the two of us at that moment.

Of course, he's aggressively defensive, so all he has to do is blow back. Even so, I don't remember this several times. The two bodies have already been hurt quite a bit.

Special training imposed by Lucas.

That was an easy thing to do to keep them from getting attacked.

Time limit is thirty minutes. In it, clear if you never get an attack. Moving on to the next training.

On the other hand, if you take a blow or so, the time will be reset. Every time, start over.

Are the two of you tired of boulders doing this training with guts and strength day after day... no, that never happened.

"Damn... did you get it again"

Albert reaches out to Evi, who is falling in.

"Here. Next."

"Ah."

Supporting Gu and his Evi weight, he stands up on the spot and pays for the soil attached to his body, etc.

"Well, what is it..."

"Evi. Is Senior Lucas's move following?

"No. I can't... when I hear voices, I defend them aggressively, so I do my best."

"Right."

"Is Albert in sight?

"Barely, yeah. But it's pretty much the same to the point where it reacts slightly faster than Evie."

What Lucas is imposing is getting used to fighting in the woods. That was the thing.

In base occupancy, Kafka Forest is set as a field.

Fighting in the woods is therefore imperative. However, the forest also releases the primary material Prima Materia in a messy manner on top of the various trees.

For this reason, identifying signs is a tricky move.

With the magic of perceptual sensing systems, and that's Ray's absolutely inviolable realm, Antimaterial Fields, such things are only trivial.

But not everyone has magic like him.

I just have to keep going until I get used to it. This is just a sensory story. Once you wear that, the rest will be able to react even unconsciously.

What matters is an unbroken heart. Mental power to repeat foolishly.

That's what Lucas was looking for. Without that strength of mind, it would be impossible to win a massive magic battle called Magics War.

"All right. Well, let's go next!

"Ah."

Stretch your body out and regain your temper.

That's how they went through the woods with the leaking sun.

What the two of you are looking for is Ray-White.

And I know his strength. Because I am a solid witness to the battle with Gray in its eyes.

Albert and Evie don't think we can get to that realm. I don't think so, but it could be in my life as a magician.

Sometimes the bigger the goal, the more heartbreaking people get before its overwhelming size. But a small pile every day is the only way to achieve that goal.

The two of you know that.

So even today, they fight.

Nothing else. With myself...

"Is that it? It's supposed to be a weekday and nothing, why do you have a sister?

The Bradley family.

Maria always returns home immediately because the school is over and she is not even in the club activities.

That's how she came to the living room...... there was Rebecca for some reason.

What I'm doing with a serious look on my face... was sewing.

"... Maria?

"I'm home."

"Welcome home."

And, only once I look up and tell Maria that, she immerses herself in the work again.

Maria sits next to Rebecca as she abusively throws her bag into the corner of the couch.

"... what's that?

Amulet.

Work will continue. Without looking at Maria, I just seam uncomfortably.

"Who are you giving it to?

The moment I said that.

Rebecca's hand stops. And gradually his face turns red. That's obvious not only from the side, but from the look of those ears.

Maria looks at her sister like that and smiles badly at her niggles and people.

"Ah. Could that be, you give it to Ray, right?

"Wah, evil!!?

Maria, who knows her sister's love heart well, starts teasing her with all the restraint first.

"You're giving it to me because Ray's going to be in Magics War on a massive sorcery battle?

"That's right. Because Mr. Ray is always impotent. So this is how I make amulets. Because I can't compete."

With a voice that just seems a little lonely, Rebecca talks.

Originally, Rebecca was willing to compete as well. But Rebecca's magical realm is partially sealed. The doctor also tells me that I should refrain from using magic for a while.

Solemnity is natural.

But as for Rebecca, I'm worried that she won't do anything... because she's shabby, so this is how she makes amulets.

"Hmm? Speaking of which, how do you know Mr. Ray's going to make an appearance?

Maria responds frankly to Rebecca asking with a decent look.

"No, because I heard it from him"

"When and where?

The voice color changes immediately by hitting something serious. This is not a question. It had already turned into a question.

"I met him yesterday in the Central District by accident..."

"Heh..."

"Oh, sister... or I'm afraid of your face..."

"Oh, excuse me."

Rebecca, who was still approaching Maria's face, but takes a quick distance.

"I think Maria and Ray are close."

"Well... it feels right."

"I suggest you keep it in your friend's category."

"Duh, why?

I wanted to hear about it. Because I wanted to know what was waiting for me first, beyond the scope of my friends.

"... that's not gonna be good."

"Something not good?

"War"

"Hmm? War?

"Yes. You don't want to get involved, do you?

Brooch.

Does this mean your spine will freeze?

For the first time, Maria learned the meaning of the word with her own body.

Rebecca talks, as usual, with a beautiful face and beautiful voice.

How could it be?

What makes Maria so fearful?

Think about it, there were signs. Is it a recoil that has been accumulating for a long time, Rebecca surprisingly hates losing, as well as some unforgiving aspects?

Maria knew that tender faces just stood out, and in fact some of those places.

"As, well... I'll be careful"

"Yes, a good idea."

The look of it smiling at Nicole was like an angel.

And Maria thought it through and decided to change the subject.

"But isn't handmade heavy?

……

I drop a stitch on the spot with Potri. After freezing for a while like that, I start grabbing Gah Maria's shoulder.

"Ku, details!

The face is serious in itself. Rather than, it felt like I was in a hurry.

"No. In my opinion. Well... I don't think it's possible that Ray would refuse."

From there, Maria begins to imitate Ray's objects.

"Senior Rebecca. Thank you. I'm really afraid... aren't you going to say something?

"... well, right. I'm sure Mr. Ray will be delighted!

"Yeah. I think so."

"All right! Let's try harder!

Bradley sisters.

Rebecca's relationship with Maria has changed.

But that, of course, is in a good direction.

We can now have a frank exchange of views with each other.

But is it the harm...... it is still a story ahead of us that there will be more fights between the two of us.
