The special selection unit Astral has been fully launched, but this unit is not always the kind of unit that fights on the front lines.
For this reason, training is sometimes longer. Since then, the three of them have decided to rent the dormitory of the Royal Army for once. The room separated when it got this far to the boulder...... In fact, Abby and Carol often gather in Lydia's room.
The reason Abby is here is because Lydia can't do her own chores. If she doesn't wake up in the morning, she'll fall asleep. He seems to be the reason that Carol is so often because she is purely lonely.
"Hey, Lydia. It's morning."
"Ugh... five more hours..."
"Silly. There's no way you can sleep like that. I'll never forgive you for being late. We're regular soldiers now."
I graduated from cadet school, which meant that each rank had become a second lieutenant. Abby's excellence stands out among them, so much so that it is rumored that he will soon rise in rank.
His personality is serious and solid. In addition to that, he is also highly powerful and intelligent as a magician. It was sort of natural for the military to value her highly.
The truth is that the presence of Lydia and Carol on the other hand is completely spared. Sometimes it is Abby who holds the reins, and it is up to the upper ranks of the army to say that her rank is likely to rise soon.
"Look, get up!!
"Wow...!
With the futon stripped off, Lydia wakes up at once.
"Ugh... I'm still a little chilly! It's tyranny to take a futon!
"Ha... Lydia. Come on, grow up..."
and interacting as usual. They will continue to work in the force today and beyond.
The current world situation is dominated by the Aywell Empire to spread the art of witchcraft to the world. That would of course be important in terms of the development of witchcraft.
Even in the Kingdom of Arnold, thanks also to the booming School of Magic, the progress of magic has become remarkable since the birth of code theory.
But the kingdom still had black rumors in the empire. Wasn't that using witchcraft as a tool for murder......
There are also rumours that magic techniques are being channelled to an organization. There are also assassination groups present in the Empire that are in the dark, etc. Roughly, both good and bad rumors existed in the Aywell Empire.
I'm only talking about rumors because I'm not sure yet.
Six months have passed since Lydia and the others were assigned to the special selection unit Astral.
Troop formation there has also been consolidated, with Carol and Henrik backward support. Look at the whole situation, set up an operation and communicate it.
The other members fight on the front line.
The target was not only human, but also driven out when the demon was activated. The time has finally come to go through a real battle as we continue to live like that.
"It will be today's operation, but it will be led by the special selection unit Astral. The target is this person."
Operation Command Office Briefing Room. So all of the special selection unit Astral is gathering and sharing the operation.
What Henrik tells us was something that included the assassination of a certain person. Never intended to kill, but it also puts it in perspective.
They are trying to denigrate the world into chaos by using witchcraft. This operation was devised to pre-crush the rise of such an organization.
"Finally in action..."
Lydia, whining bossly, stares at the subject's self-portrait with a serious look on her face.
I have used witchcraft to fight before, but I have no experience in action. If we are in action, we must also look at killing our opponents.
She is a genius, but she is still a young person. Even in this operation, we talked about Lydia and Abby not being left to...
"If I have to, I'll do it. It would be dangerous to leave it to Delk and Howard alone. I've already decided to be ready when I have to."
Pale Lydia put it that way.
It was something I knew one day would come.
Speaking of no hesitation, I lie. But if I stared into Lydia's eyes, I was sure I was ready to dwell.
The opponent is also armed. In this raid, it can also be difficult to be completely powerless.
Instead, it's quicker to kill him. Because the military has told us that this can happen.
And finally, the operation is set to begin.
It seems they are rooting east of this kingdom, where armed groups were gathered in underground space. Raid there. When we all begin the assault, it quickly occupies.
Everyone here possesses the skill with which all of them are skilled. The other opponent was armed, numerous but entirely superior to the special selection unit Astral.
If you quickly dominate, you discover a boss-like person fleeing in the back.
"You found it."
"Oh. You just have to secure this guy, right?
As Lydia and Abby moved quickly, they caught the little fat man. I'm the man I was sharing and I can't go wrong, so I'll seal the movement by magic for now.
"hehe...... fuhaha!
Let's go.
The fact that it's already jammed means the other guy suddenly starts laughing high.
"I knew you guys were coming!!! You guys, do it!!
Signal that word, and new humans descend from above.
Surprise. This time it's just that Lydia and the others have been lured. Only earlier fights were meant to let us know that we were at a disadvantage.
The people who came down were all sorcerers who were good at witchcraft and who were extremes of witchcraft as killing.
It was Abby who was delayed in reacting because of the rash. Does the other person know that, too, and the fierce blade looms upon her?
"Abby!!!
Lydia speaks up. Now the other members are just fighting their opponents outside. I mean, we just had to fight the two of us here.
When Lydia runs the code all at once, she unfolds her magic.
Prima Material-Encoding-Supply Materials Code
Material Code = Decoding
Substance Material Code = Processing = Deceleration Dissertation = Fixed Lock
Embodiment = Substance Material
"─ Icy Thousand Sword Trident" Isicle Blades "
What appears in that hand is a single ice sword. Swinging through it without hesitation, the opponent's right arm bounced off. Blood dances, and return blood splashes on Lydia's cheeks and hair.
There was no hesitation.
If I couldn't wrap my arms around it at this time, it would have been Abby who was dead.
From there on forward was a battle that should also be called ravage. With the Ice Sword in his hands, Lydia relentlessly drives her opponent out of combat.
This is already killing each other. I know that. She keeps dancing like a machine. Abby in it, all she could do was watch.
……
There was a blood buildup. The figure of Lydia standing up was filled with an apparent willingness to kill, unlike before.
No one seemed to be dying as one, but still this space full of the smell of blood was too intense for Abby.
Lydia wipes her blood back and turns her ice sword to the boss.
"Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!! Hey, what are you!? My men are all sorcery fighters! What about kids like you!!?
"Kid, huh? Oh, sure, I'm still a kid. But, old man. I'm a genius. That's why responsibility comes with it. This gift is not something I can use for my own personal gain."
Talent comes with responsibility.
That was also Lydia's cliché. She knew. Use your talents. How can we make effective use of that talent?
It was about protecting people. To protect someone, to protect someone's smile, she stands here ready to do so.
Speak a cold word and gently cleave the opponent's arm with that ice sword.
"Uhhhhhhh!!!
Chasing the escaping opponent with his eyes as if he had not dwelled in any will. Waving an ice sword painted on blood leaves blood on the ground.
Howard and Delk even put her arm behind her when they thought they would kill her that way.
"Lydia. Enough. I'll do the rest here. Well done."
"Ah. Leave the rest to us."
"... ok"
We decided to leave the later processing to the two of us.
On this day, Abby found out.
Lydia-Ainesworth's cruelty combined with his genius.
