"You know what the Lucectas talks are, right?

"... oh"

I snort at Gran's question.

Dr. Sylphia was explaining the Lucectas meeting in the classroom a few days ago. On the second day of the Magic Festival, the heads of the kingdoms of Terraria and Varibal are scheduled to meet in a city called Lucectas. That is the Lusectus talks.

"Maybe what will be discussed there is about the annexation of the Kingdom of Varibal"

Gran continued.

"The Kingdom of the Varibal was the first country to be consumed by war in the Fourth Wars of the Brave Demons. It is now difficult to govern the country on your own. So in the near future, the two neighbouring states… will be annexed to either the Kingdom of Terraria or the Russian Empire. … well, the neighbouring countries will be aware of this."

Gran is right, the reality of the Kingdom of Varibal was already understood by many. Anyone who also habitually reads newspapers in the Kingdom of Terraria would be so sure that the Kingdom of Varibal would be annexed to any country in the near future.

"What I am in the Kingdom of Terraria right now has to do with it.... I was entrusted by the King to investigate the Kingdom of Terraria. Will this country be able to carry the future of the Kingdom of Varibal? We have to judge that."

"... Is Gran connected to the King of the Kingdom of Varibal?

"Still in the Great War, put up a few medals. I knew the king then."

It was my first ear.

But Gran doesn't seem very proud of it.

"Well, when I say investigation, there's nothing I do. You know Too Eight, but I'm retarded. The king understood that too, so he gave no difficult instructions. I just want you to relax and do whatever you want."

"... so how is that going to be an investigation?

"The king said.... when he reunites with me in the near future, he decides to join the Kingdom of Terraria if I live happily ever after. I mean, the king sees me and decides whether or not to merge."

That's bold thinking, too.

At the same time, it is conveyed that Gran receives tremendous trust from the king of the kingdom of Varibal.

"You're responsible."

"That's right.... Totally, I want you to give me a break. It's not like this."

Gran says as she scratches her hair back.

"It's not a pattern - for me, the king is a benefactor."

Gran continues.

"At the time of the war, it was the king who helped me, who was dying.... I was dying and I asked you to give me the potion. It may be trivial, but it was enough for me to swear allegiance."

Gran talking smudge.

So I finally understand the intention of the disciple.

"So the king of the kingdom of Varibal is coming for a tour, the last day of the event...... you want to join the war game"

"That's the thing. When it comes to war games, only particularly good students can compete in the flourishing Builders School, because it's a special competition. If you show up there and be active, the king will trust me about the kingdom of Terraria."

"Does Gran want annexation with the Kingdom of Terraria?

"No, it's not like that."

Says Gran lightly.

"I just want to prove that the King's decision that sent me out to the Kingdom of Terraria was right.... In fact, I think the Kingdom of Terraria is a good country. The streets are beautiful, the people's lives are full... I think this is a safe country"

'Cause it's a safe enough country to be naughty.'

"Let's get revenge again"

"Don't"

Yup, and Gran makes her lips pointy unfortunately.

Safe country... not so safe actually. But if people think of the Kingdom of Terraria as a "safe country," as a "backward" person, such as the Royal Defense Intelligence Agency, they will end up in the luxury of profit. That's what we've been fighting for.

"I think Gran realizes it too thinly, but my way of fighting is not normal. If that's okay with you, you can take on your apprenticeship."

"... then, please. Anyway, we're a month out of production. I can't say four or five."

Gran's readiness to learn seemed real.

I've never coached anyone before, but I'm not that bad at it. I'm so rigorously educated at the institution that I don't like it, you can just apply it. Most importantly, the goal is not to gain strength to survive on the battlefield, but to gain strength to participate in war games.

"Fine technology will be taught later, and I'll teach you how to fight what I think is ideal."

To Gran, who nodded with a serious face, I continued.

"The ideal way to fight is with a blow."

"A special blow?

"Oh. A blow that will surely hold your enemies. You just have to learn that."

"... it seems easy if you just ask. Specifically, what am I supposed to do?

"Create a Must-Win Pattern"

Go on, I'll explain.

"With this condition, we can definitely win (...) profit (...). We increase the number of such a must-win pattern. All you have to do is push your enemies into that pattern after you increase them. This is my basic tactic."

"... I see"

For example, some of the magic I use is the Momentary Blade, which I can definitely kill if the opponent is stationary, so for me, "the opponent is stationary" is one of the must-win patterns. In addition to this magic, if you combine the magic of "Bomb Trap", which installs a bomb on the surrounding ground, another must-win pattern is completed. If the opponent stops, he cuts it with the Instant Blade, and if the opponent moves, he detonates the bomb around him. There are also strong enemies in the world that cannot be defeated by this, but for the most part this can settle for it.

"In the case of Gran, you should simply attack him with your arms"

"Yeah, but I can tell you myself, when it comes to the magic you can use to attack, it's like" Ligament, "and you can't do anything else."

"... that said, Gran had a high magic endurance (stamina), while a low magic control (control)."

"That's right. That's why I don't like long-range magic, and when you're unilaterally attacked from afar, you can't beat your hand."

When I signed up for the Alliance, I remember the magical power of the Gran I confirmed.

Gran had an A-rank for Magic Persistence (Stamina), but an E-rank for Magic Control (Control). The E rank is so low that we rarely see it in our generation. It would be more of an unsuitable issue than a lack of practice on this.

"War games are a mass battle. Someone should make up for the weakness."

"... do you have that idea?"

You admitted to being honest, Gran nods.

"Gran, can you use Materialization?

"Oh. But you're not used to it. Materialization is the magic of making weapons, isn't it? I've been using weapons all my life."

"Weapons made in Materialization (Fixation) can add a variety of effects compared to real objects"

To show you an example, I stretched the magic blade from the tip of my index finger and middle finger in Materialization (Fixation).

"For example, if you make a blade, you can stretch it or change the shape of your body."

"Well..." "Materialization" is unexpectedly magical. "

Look at me stretching or deforming my magic blade, Gran is impressed.

"Gran's strength is its bottomless magic endurance (stamina). With all that magic persistence (stamina), you can use Materialization (Fixation) as many times as you want in battle. … it's like a moving arsenal, so to speak"

"A moving arsenal... but that's the first way to fight an ad hoc switch of weapons that works. I don't know what to say to myself, but I'm not as clever as Tweet, and I don't feel like I can master it within a month..."

Good analysis. I know exactly what I'm not good at.

In fact, I'm switching weapons quickly with Materialization (Fixation) depending on the situation. But in Gran's case, we should consider using it differently.

"In the case of Gran, it's better to be aware of preparing some means of attack rather than a tactic that has turned to the rear of dealing with ad hoc"

"... I mean?

"Besides a bare-handed blow, I make some trump cards. If you can defeat your opponent with certainty in melee, next you can create a weapon that can be defeated at medium range or that can be stopped with a single blow from above the shield."

"Ohhh... Ohh!! Something's coming up!

"You should decide what kind of weapon you want to build and then move on to the next step. Let's get this far this time."

"Oops! Thanks, Too Eight!!

with a bright grin, Gran said.

"Thank you. Next time, we'll have dinner!

"... oh, let's have a treat"

Nod at Gran's suggestion.

In my head, I had already thought of several practice menus. I want to work more responsibly than I have undertaken guidance.

"… thank you,"

Whisper what Gran tells you, little by little.

I have to thank you, too.

Let's apprentice Gran and give something to the teacher who teaches me magic, too.
