Twenty-three Tales: The Trial of Barren

The gathering of people that could be made into the ground seemed to surround two people: Barren and Mira, and the Student Council.

I find my physical racing teammates and I decide to listen.

"Is something wrong?

"Ah, oh. A guy named Ballen from the student council came to practice... with a little bit of bad air with Mira"

Listening to the explanation, I saw the two of you with Mize.

Mira, a brunette shortcut girl with arms. On the front of it is Ballen scratching her ears lazily.

"I appreciate you taking part in the practice, but I told you in advance that we would discuss and decide which events to attend."

"I guess that's why I'm consulting you now. I'll join the sledgehammer."

"... why did you choose that competition?

"Mm-hmm, it's up to you because it's gonna be over soon"

Mira sighed at Barren, who told her as she deserved.

"Beyond being a member of the Student Council, please seriously contribute to the competition festival, too, Mr. Barren. You'd prefer either Gladys or War Games."

"Damn, you sound like a great mouthpiece to a senior."

"It's the same grade now."

Ballen pours her fierce gaze on Mira.

The members of the eagle group watching the two were wary of the intimidation that Barren unleashed. But Mira stares back without any fright.

Though he's the same student council officer, he doesn't get along well.

I'm guessing the cause of the shooting is in the Eighty-Nine Valen. Barren was originally famous as a problem child. Besides, you've never been in practice before, and you're suddenly showing up and designating a competition to compete on your own. I also know Mira's frustration.

"Mr. Barren. The Magic Competition Festival is the best event in the kingdom. That doesn't just mean thriving, it means it's a politically and economically important event. … Many of our students are more serious in anticipation of the future, not just as an arm's length opportunity"

"So what are you saying?"

"Seriously...... do it with a good willingness to win (...)"

"Shit."

Barren scratches her back hair after pounding her tongue.

"Then it's a war game. Gladys is a tough guy to beat in a winning battle."

Unwillingly, says Barren.

"Are the boundaries of the war game still there?

"… Gladys and Wargame participants are informed in advance that there may be a replacement in case of need, as Mr. Barren may attend"

"Ho, you're handy. Then let's face it."

That being said, Barren glanced at the members of the eagle group gathering around him.

"Participants in the war game, come out"

It was an arrogant attitude of gaze from above. But the intimidation seeping out of your whole body doesn't allow you to argue. Five high pride hero students stepped out silently before Barren.

"Okay. Then you guys, fight me now. The weakest guy's taking turns with me."

To the abrupt suggestion, tension runs.

Students planning to participate in the war game opened their fearful mouths as other members watched in solitary spit.

"This one, can I join hands with the other players?

"Oh? Well, I don't mind..."

Ballen gives a fierce look like a beast in front of her prey.

"- At a time when I was thinking about it early, there's no hope."

At the next moment, a flaming shell poured down from the overhead of the student who questioned him.

It's the magic that brought down an Imperial agent in front of me last night. As always, I can't see the preliminary motion.

"but - Huh!?

One hero student falls off without a hand or leg.

At the start of the fight, we quickly retreated to avoid getting involved.

"Sora, fight the rest."

To Barren's words, the four remaining students make light eye contact. I guess you decided you didn't have a winning shot at trying it apart.

Three students attacked Valen using "Ligament". While Barren deals with them, one remaining student takes the time to build the magic.

Wind Cannon!

Three students who were in a melee with Ballen jump out. At the same time, it activated the magic that one of the remaining students had prepared. A cannon of wind pushes through the atmosphere, causing the dust to sweep into Barren.

But Barren let this be avoided in a futile and light motion.

"That's a sweet aim. I'll teach you how to hit the shell correctly."

That's what Barren says. He squeezes his right fist.

Vin, Barren's magic converged on his fist.

When will the shelling be unleashed? As the four students were alert with cold sweats - Barren smiled invincibly and activated Ligament.

"Come on."

Barren, briefly told, fleshes to the students in an instant.

The students, who were wary of shelling, were not ready for a melee and were upset.

"Come on!"

"This - Huh!!

Students respond in a panic by activating Ligament.

Around being able to activate Ligament at the reflex level, I would still say that hero students are used to it in action compared to general medicine. But even in the same family of heroes, Ballen goes on top of it.

"It's late."

Simply "Ligament" proficiency is different.

Barren, who knocked his fist and kick into the two dovetails and quickly knocked them down, quickly approached the third student who was beside him.

Shortly after breaking the student's posture with a foot payment, Barren opens his fist, which he had been squeezing, and puts his palm against the student's chest.

- Bye.

"Eh -"

Moment after moment, the red shelling blew the students away.

Again, no spare motion at all. From the side, it's like the bottom of the palm has changed to "Flame Cannon."

"Ha ha! Learn better! This is the right way to guess!!

Like the tyrant who ruled the battlefield, Barren laughs lavishly.

"Mr. Tweet, is that..."

Mize shrugged with a nervous face.

Perhaps in The Way of Wisdom, you understood what Barren had done. I shook my head small and vertical.

"A belt. That's one of the techniques of running magic."

Just like the compression I use and the multiple starts and parallel starts used by Oz, the belt is one of the techniques used to operate magic.

"After building the magic, dare to keep it close to activation and move on to other actions. If you say so, it's like fighting (...) while carrying magic"

Fighting with magic on. That is, a magic belt.

That is the technique called the pedal belt.

I thought there was less spare motion when activating the magic, but I also solved the communication. Barren was building magic ahead of time, and he was coming to battle with it on his belt.

It is no exaggeration to say that the belt is a prepayment for preliminary motion.

If you're building magic first, you can activate it in an instant, no matter how much spare motion it takes.

- Advanced technique.

It's not just an easy technology for students to acquire.

Although it was not the deviation, the reward earlier was a true representation that Barren's skill was pulling out one head.

"-" Lightning Spear "

For a second.

A glimmer of thunder struck Barren as he mocked the falling students.

As everyone closes their eyelids to the dazzling light, Barren activates Ligament while being driven in agony. In response to the impending spear of thunder, Barren flung his half body and flushed it as if to punch him from the side.

"… Multiple starts"

Out of the dust that rolls, Valen appears.

But the figure - it's not intact. My left half uniform was burning.

"You, what's your name?

"Sieg-Falcion"

"Heh, you're a nobleman. Not much for that. Well, don't get drilled.... is it about you who has the potential?"

Somewhere delightfully, says Barren.

"The first guy to fall off, take turns with me."

Along with that one word that Ballen told him, this uproar brought the curtain down.
