"There's a battle, yeah. Surrender, Vargas."

"Damn..., what the hell is that..."

It was Vargas blown to the ground, but he didn't seem to have lost consciousness.

Something incomprehensible happened when I spoke up, and he was crushing in a confused manner.

The attack on Vargas I did was the same as just now, a long-range magic attack.

But I'm just saying that wasn't [shotgun].

Of course, if [shotgun] is going to settle it, that's fine.

However, because Vargas was surprisingly strong, I launched an attack using the [shotgun] method itself.

Vargas sensed the aim of the attack from the angle at which I pointed my palm, heard the sound of a spell and knew when to attack.

I just used it backwards.

By persisting with the [shotgun], which was dodged many times, Vargas eventually went into the abandonment action of eating the attack and hitting his own.

But this is what I led you to.

I never thought I'd be able to come near you without any damage, but it made sense not to let you take the action of perceiving and avoiding the aim.

And activate the counter against that abandoned attack.

No matter how much Vargas is a strong man who has fought on numerous battlefields, the damage will always go through if he is caught by accident.

When he exposed himself before the magic attack, he made a magic attack without a spell.

A magical attack that is fired along with the word [shotgun], which was repeated many times before that.

Vargas should have been imprinted that if he heard a spell unconsciously, the magic attack would be fired.

If something else was the other person, it would still have been fine.

But I can activate magic even if I'm not spellbound.

I imagined a rock bigger and harder than what I would fly with [shotgun] in my head, and I fired it silently.

Vargas would not have been able to detect it until it came under that attack.

This is how my counter attack was decided brilliantly.

But still, I have to say Vargas was amazing.

I should have been totally surprised, because I prevented myself with the Great Sword and reduced the damage.

Most of all, my favorite sword is broken.

"Okay. My loss. Let's surrender. But please. I hope you will not harm the people of this village."

After my victory over Vargas, the people of Varca Village are happy to cheer like roars.

Are you glad to see, hear, on the battlefield, that a man from your village beat a hero from the neighbouring village?

But there were also signs that the pleasure was heating up too much.

Collective psychology can be dangerous at times like this.

Sometimes even good and gentle people would usually be hit by an avid atmosphere and go into actions that would normally be unthinkable.

Especially now that we have what serves as weapons to each other, that may be an exaggeration.

Doesn't Vargas fear that what he loses will kick ass and ravage their village?

Maybe that's why you're not surrendering, you're surrendering against me.

That would be good, too.

From now on, we are ready to fight the nobles who rule the land.

But that's never the case when it comes to being strong enough.

Instead, it may be too little despite gathering people from all over the village.

Originally, this village came with the aim of expanding its power.

Wouldn't a man like Vargas be the one who needs it?

"Okay. Vargas, I promise you, if you're going to fight with us, you're not going to harm the village."

"Got it. Let's promise we'll fight together, Ars."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Thus, I fulfilled my original purpose of increasing my strength.

As planned!

"Wow. I didn't think the day would come when I could use magic."

After adding Vargas to my crew, I immediately gave him the Barca surname so he could use his magic.

It may be odd that the Barca surname was given to Vargas, a person from the neighbouring village, because he also gave the Barca surname to people unrelated to the village, such as Gran and the old man of the pedestrian.

There's also a need to focus on the people in the village.

Instead, could naming your uncle Barca give you unity and fight it well?

I don't know about the truth, but in the meantime, I let him master magic by naming the Barca surname on the basis of this idea.

The unforeseen state of affairs of fighting Vargas.

Speaking as a result theory, the conversation rolled in the right direction.

Because it was a big deal that I was able to show everyone how I actually fight.

It would be obvious if you think about it.

I'm a child who's not even grown up yet.

No matter how much magic you work with, it's not that easy to trust me personally.

Wouldn't many people have thought about putting me down and running back if I really had to?

But it looks like you've actually seen me fight and come up with an atmosphere to change that idea.

With overwhelming strength, he won the battlefield by twisting the baby's hand as if his position had been reversed.

Maybe he's really strong.

You might be able to fight the nobles and win.

It wasn't weird to think that way.

And this "maybe" thing is huge.

If there is a faint but hopeful, people can try their best to pursue it.

There was plenty of air in the group that we should do it.

"So where is the Admiral going now?

"What's that general?

"What are you talking about Ars? You're a relative in this, so you can be a general."

"Um, well, that's fine. It's the river you're on your way. I'm gonna put up a line there."

Vargas came beside me and talked to me.

He seemed pretty funny when I talked to him.

It seems like a fellowship, admired by everyone.

When Vargas surrendered against me and fought with me, many young people from the neighbouring village joined me.

Apparently, the trouble I once had in protecting my people was also caused by the fact that I had been away from the village.

Answer that Vargas question.

Our destination has absorbed the power of the neighboring village and started moving from it.

It was a river on its way from the village of Barca to the city of Fontana to the south.

I made a position there and decided to intercept the Fontana family.
