Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~

◇

Approximately an hour after receiving the request.

We were gathered near the gate to set off towards the Plains of Testra.

But here's one problem.

"... what's that gear?"

That's what I squeaked when I saw the last examiner here.

The examiner has been wearing heavy iron armor.

"I don't care what they say... but it's protective equipment"

"No, it's counterproductive... I think it's better not to wear that armor."

Indeed, if you wear reinforced armor such as magic metal, you gain a high level of defense.

But what the examiner wears is just iron armor.

This doesn't give you a lot of defense.

On the contrary, it is counterproductive because of reduced mobility and increased susceptibility to attack.

Most importantly, it's not easy to find because every time you walk, the armor makes a gushing metal noise.

"But going now is a dangerous zone with a lot of dead people out there. You can't survive with semi-suviable equipment."

Oh, the type you think would be safe if you were more defensive?

In a state where the top parties are wiped out, it's pointless where they've consolidated their defenses in half... but it's going to be hard to make them understand.

Do you even suggest lighter and sturdier gear here?

"Uh... Lurii, even make me the right protective equipment demon props. with the type to attach to existing clothing."

"Uh... like this?

Looks like Lurii understood my intentions as soon as he heard my words.

After worrying for a few seconds, Lurii carved a magic formation into the demonic stone he had at hand.

The engraved magic formation was finishing more than I expected.

With this level of magic formation, you can no longer organize Lurii yourself.

"Done!

"Oh. Well done."

That said, I receive a demonic stone from Lurii that has become a demonic prop, and activate the demonic prop for a nearby cloth.

"Alma, take a shot at the proper trees around here."

"Okay!... It's been a long time since you've shot an arrow without magic."

With that said, Alma releases an arrow toward the tree.

The arrow flew with a sharp sound and profoundly pierced the tree.

"That's an awesome arrow of power... sometimes they just call me a monster"

So the examiner stares at the stabbed arrow.

Looking sideways, I put a cloth reinforced with magic props on the tree.

"Copy that!"

Alma unleashes an arrow as powerful as it was just now in a clothed tree.

The next arrow didn't stab the tree.

Although the arrow scratched the cloth a little, it was bounced off without penetration.

"Become... now arrow, aren't you being modest or something?

Look at that. The examiner shouts a surprise.

"Did it look like a handful?

"... No, I didn't see it"

The examiner answered immediately.

Even though I'm slightly timid, there's just something about being entrusted with the Alliance's promotion exam, and it seems to be as distinguishing as the power of the arrow.

"With this magic prop, we can make ordinary clothes that strong.... I ask on top of that, does it make sense to wear heavy armor on purpose?

"... you don't"

So the examiner took off his armor.

Defensive magically enhanced clothing is weaker than the protective gear Lurii or Alma wears, but much more defensive than just iron protective gear.

There's no way that a few millimeters thick iron can beat magic.

... Well, if Alma magically strengthens the arrows, this degree is no different than it would be easy to pierce them, and if it means' make a defensive gear because it can be heavy ', I can make something much harder than this.

With that in mind, I fortify the Examiner's clothes with the magic props made by Lurii.

"All right, let's go"

- So we set off for the Plains of Testra.
