"Can I borrow your schoolyard for a moment now?

Evening the day we recovered the Demon Stone.

I was coming to the principal's office to rent a place for training.

"School garden? What do you use it for?

"Within the party, it's voluntary training in combat. I think the school yard will be temporarily broken, but I think it can be undone by morning"

"I don't mind. You're welcome to train good school students, and Matthias owes a lot to you."

That's what the principal says, lightly slaps himself in the head.

... The nurturing business being carried out on the principal's scalp seems to be beginning to work well.

Then, about enough later.

All four of us gathered in the school yard for our party.

"Permission to use, did you get it?

"I went right through it. Here."

I'll show you the permits the principal wrote.

"You even have permission to destroy... Are you that hard?

In addition to permits for use, permits are attached to the permit to destroy the school garden, provided that it is repaired by 7 a.m. the following day.

"Oh. It's an essential permit for short training. … so we'll set up the venue first"

"Setting up? Can't you just keep doing this?

That's how Alma looks around the school yard.

The school yard was not so beautifully maintained, but there were no major irregularities, obstacles, etc., which seemed easy to use there.

But of course not with this.

"This training has a different purpose.... Nevertheless, it takes time to do it by hand, so let's use magic. All three of you, step back for a second."

"Ugh, yeah!

"Okay!

I'll make sure the three of them get away properly, and then I'll start prepping the magic.

"... is there anything, not a lot of magic?

I saw activated magic. Lurii calls me that.

Lurii also seems to be seeing a lot of magic.

"Oh. That's a lot of magic there. This is how you use it."

That said, I shoot giant fireballs into the school yard in a row, running into the middle of the school yard.

The fireball explodes as soon as it hits the school yard, circling the ground to make a crater.

Repeating that for a little while - near the middle of the school yard became a wilderness, with almost no flat place present.

"Ko, the school yard!

"Permission to break down the school garden is being used effectively without this..."

Destroyed school yard surfaces are glazed or about to collapse in some places, making them extremely difficult to walk.

And there were still places on the ground that were burning, so I watered them down and put them out.

Thanks to this, the vicinity is flooded.

...... yeah. Perfect environment for combat training.

"All right, here's how it's gonna be. Shall we begin combat training?"

I'll call the three of you who've been waiting.

"No way... do you train here!?

"After all, I was wondering if it would be okay for Mr. Iris and the others to fight, once broken, and then strengthen..."

If I do that, there's no point in doing the training.

This time Iris was in danger because of the incomplete scaffolding.

And while underfoot is well maintained in the training that takes place in schools, walkable scaffolding is more rare in action.

That's a rare situation, but if you get used to it here, you'll be able to handle most places.

"Illis, use this sword."

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna hand Iris the sturdy sword there.

Because I'm the one dealing with them, it's a performance sword that hasn't crushed a blade or anything, but doesn't spare it if it breaks.

Magic is also imparted to increase strength even.

... Looks like you're getting a lot better at granting Lurii too.

That's what I got the dragon material for, and next time I'll make a sword of performance there.

"Okay!

Watch Illis receive the sword, and then I turn to Lurii and Alma.

"Lurii and Alma practice shooting by granting this magic. Target -"

In terms of what is used in this world right now, it would be too big to be an exercise.

In the first place, practicing the stopped target on the opponent may be effective in real life.

Just because it takes time to prepare a proper motion target - yes. That was good.

"In the meantime, I think we should aim for this"

That's what I say, I put a yadkari demon shell on my head.

I'm going after myself because I think I'm just going to be resistant.

If you're an Illis opponent now, you can still fight with a shell on your head, and this will do.

"Mattie's, over your head!?

"I can't risk that!

That being said, you don't see any more effective methods.

"Alma, head over there, try shooting an arrow"

That's what I meant, a space with nothing in the schoolyard.

"Oh, that way?... Like this?

Along with the sound of a buzz, an arrow is released.

And I...

"Oops."

He ran and approached, magically deflected, and eventually turned toward himself, catching it with his hands.

If it's a light arrow, it'll be easy to deviate later.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with flying towards me.

"Sure, you don't seem to need to worry..."

"But it's going to be dark... and it just so happens, don't you get into a blind spot?

"I'm fine. The human skin is a pretty high-performance sensory organ. Even if I have no vision at all, I can handle about an uncovered arrow"

"Oh, did you! I thought it was small feet and inconvenient, but humans are amazing!

"No, I think those who can do that are already falling out of the human category..."

Iris raises his voice of admiration, like Alma is bewitched.

Instead of being sturdy, the dragon's skin is dull.

With such a conversation, combat training began.
