Far East Battle.
It was not yet its name at the time, but there was a gradual increase in the number of conflicts caused by witchcraft, whispering the concern that there might be large-scale wars caused by witchcraft in the world.
In that context, the activities of the special assault unit Astral were becoming active. There are now more conflicts in the east, so much so that the Kingdom also has requests to leave from other countries.
The countries that are emerging in the world today are the Aywell Empire and the Kingdom of Arnold. Sorcery continues to evolve around those two countries.
The very origin of code theory in the first place is the Kingdom of Arnold. For this reason, when it comes to magic, it is said that the kingdom is the great yuan. The Aywell Empire was also trying to follow it again and was developing.
But when it comes to momentum alone, the Eiwell Empire is better. There were so many voices like that.
"Phew... you're safe this time"
Wipe the sweat.
I was able to successfully complete my assignment this time. Lydia and Abby had already started going through a real fight. The formation in this unit has also been consolidated, Carol, with regard to the planning of the operation. And the overall command is Henrik.
The rest of us had repeated time and again that we would lead the troops in battle.
"Right...... but it's been a month since I've been sent here but don't wonder when it'll be over"
It was Abby who leaned in on her like that. She was also just stunned in her first real fight again, but now she was getting used to it enough.
Henrik's concerns were on the mental side of the two of us. In real life, there is also the possibility of killing people, including hurting them with sorcery. But that was nothing but a worry.
Genius has a brittle mentality. That's what they say for a long time. Because I'm growing up with an elite temperament, I can't cope when my unexpected happens.
Rather, it's a common story for premature geniuses, but there was no problem with those two, including that.
Abby had a bitter first fight in action, but was switching quickly.
"Ensign Garnett. Are you all right?
"Yes, no problem"
A hearing just in case, Henrik called Abby in and asked her that.
She has a serious face, as usual, and responds faintly.
"If it sounds harsh, can we arrange to join the operational command here as well?
"No, you have Carol and Major Farrenheit, so I can't go that way"
"Well... if you need anything, don't hesitate to say it"
"You seem to be worried about my spiritual aspect, but I am also here ready. Fortunately, you understand that."
That was not a vanity. It was just the first time I had eaten at that time, but she was never afraid to fight again......
Abby, who had returned since then, was also worried about Lydia, but had no major mental problems. Rather, I believe that we should try to make further leaps in disgrace of our impudent self.
"Right. I'm sorry to hear so much extra."
"No. I was wondering if I might be able to address your concerns. Looks like my impudence has been exposed. I'd like to be careful from now on."
"Okay. Stay back."
"Ha. Excuse me"
Salute me, Abby, I'm going down. Henrik leaks a sigh when he sees her like that, "Huh..."
"What's wrong?
Flor standing next to me finally opens his mouth. I didn't think she was going to pinch her mouth on this one, so I kept quiet until now.
"Does that look like sixteen?
"... you don't see it. He's an exemplary person for military personnel, but not roughly the way a girl stands. After my first real battle, I suffered more physical and psychological damage."
"That's right. That's normal. However, Garnett is still a critical normal person. Problem would be, Aynsworth"
Lydia-Ainsworth.
Its presence stands out among the special selection unit Astral. All skills are of a high standard. And suppress the opponent safely by exercising witchcraft without any problems even in the first real battle.
The track record includes Henrik, and the upper ranks of the army show no surprises.
The girl, only sixteen years old, was not afraid in action and successfully completed her assignment. I didn't kill him, but I didn't hesitate to strangle his limbs with that ice sword.
The two of them couldn't help but be surprised about the track record.
"... right. That one on the boulder surprised me too."
"Oh. We need to take good care of her when it comes to her, including that. Besides, geniuses follow me."
"... is it the Magic Realm Rampage Overheating"
"Yes."
Magic Realm Rampage "Overheating".
That is a well-confirmed phenomenon by high magicians. The phenomenon of sorcery realm rumbling and burning out. The pain is said to be unimaginable.
Among the magicians who have ever been treated as geniuses, there were magicians who had to retire due to the enchantment realm rampage Overheat.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the three of them, especially with regard to Lydia, are now the prime concern of the sorcery realm rampage, Overheat.
"Let's see how it goes there. There's a reason I can't lose her, but I like her positivity. It's a shame to lose it. Troops should be brighter."
"... is it Loricon?
Flor stares jitty, but he rushes to deny it.
"It's decided differently. Ugh! Only as my men!
"Let's do that."
Even with such interaction, the activities of the special selection unit Astral proceeded without problems.
And they came to the Far East, the most contentious. A small country in the Far East. It is said that there is now somehow a fierce conflict over sorcery there. They were officially requested to enter the country.
In some cases, we were also talking about suppressing by the use of force, but what was there was a burning field as far as we could see.
"That's terrible. This is..."
"Ah. Flame lineage magic... totally burning wilderness"
If I had seen that burning field, I could understand the signs of witchcraft. I don't know who did it, but the burnt humans were also rolling there. I'm pretty sure he's already desperate.
We headed for the village that was nearby, but the same was true there. Lydia and the others have never seen damage of this magnitude before, so I just had to be stunned.
But then Lydia rushed out of nowhere.
"Hey Lydia!! What's wrong with you!!?
Ignoring Abby's voice, she walks straight through this burning field. No other crew member's voice or hearing it, and he goes on in a heartbeat.
─ ─ Definitely! There are people alive!!
Running through. Signs that Lydia felt slightly. It was the prima materia, the first material that leaked out of the living human being for sure.
As I proceeded to chase it, I discovered a small child there leaking groans.
"Hey!? Are you all right!!?
Discover a child falling on the spot. My body was worn out and I understood at first sight that I was still dying.
Immediately, she practises healing magic. The trauma is terrible, but if you heal magic here, you'll make it.
With that in mind, Lydia works diligently in witchcraft. Then the boy seemed to have stopped breathing steadily or his life.
"Lydia. What about that child?
"He seems to be the only survivor. I feel like I'm here. Glad we made it."
Afterwards, all of the troops were to gather to protect the boy.
This was the meeting between Lydia and Ray.
