Very much now, but what is required of strong 'magic' in battle?

First, killing power. It's too much trouble, but there's nowhere to be too much. There is basically no need for any more killing capability because armed men are the main force in this world.

Plus range distance. A bow and arrow would suffice, and a bow and arrow would be fine if it were inferior to this.

It would be better to have it is the continuous firing performance, even if it doesn't make up for the number of people to some extent.

And well, the combination of them is magic (...), which has an overwhelming number of people with qualities compared to other 'magic'.

Even if it had only the qualities of the average degree, it would be a force of war if the numbers were put in place.

The school director wanted to collect rare magic, but that doesn't mean it's warlike.

Magic is strong, and it's good for war. That's why magic is so prevalent around here.

"... Claw, how long have you worked them out?

"About four years ago."

"Huh, with your money?

"Of course. I took a lot of care of it"

The Bathrub momentum, now headed by Happiness, and its umbrella, Tempera, were watching Claw's men train with me. It should be noted that both the lady and father are absent this time.

The faces inside the tempera are intriguing to see what combat training in groups is like, but Hapine, who has the most say on the issue, seemed very bored.

I guess so, I've been watching this sight a lot in Sopede too, so I know exactly how Happiness feels.

Claw raised fewer than a hundred of his men. The boulders were the same degree of practise that each was like a regular army soldier in general, just for the Kingsguard to confidently guess.

Conversely, if you try Happiness, you're just supposed to see the training landscape that you've seen many times since you were a kid. Well, it's no wonder I'm bored.

"You have a foothold in the boulder... hey mountain water, how strong are these people?

"Taken as a whole, you're above Mr. Thoon's men I've worked out. Master Claw, do they also have magic training in joint?

"Absolutely."

Festival To answer my question, I'll do Claw a little favor.

Claw spoke up and gave instructions to his men, who were marching in the wilderness, to use magic.

Then he lined up in three horizontal rows and used the magic of flames simultaneously.

It is a magic that burns a wide area of ground, called red carpet.

One schoolteacher is enough, and close guards do this magic with a few people, and they do it with about ten people.

I mean, it burned roughly ten times as much range as the dean of the school.

It is not as widespread an attack as Masashi on a boulder, but it is nevertheless a momentum likely to burn down a thousand enemy troops.

"Brilliant."

"I'm afraid."

I praised him honestly and Claw answered proudly.

The faces in the tempera were overwhelmed by a massive technique not seen in their homeland: to cast the magic of fire jointly.

Yes, that's not the case with runs on boulders, but the fist technique that passes inside the tempera makes it difficult to defeat the army in front of you.

"Dear Festival, magic is the demonstration of truth in mass combat. Let's say Mr. Thoon's men fight them one-on-one in front of them. Even at some distance, you will be able to cut through your opponent's attack magic with mobility and agility. But when it comes to a hundred to a hundred, it's impossible."

"Right...... I sure can't"

If it's one-on-one, there's a gap. But a hundred to a hundred never creates gaps or anything like that. If hundreds of wizards use the magic of fire together, they will kick a group of enemies at once, with no fine tactics or strategies.

If the opponent uses magic, it will be offset.

"Master Claw is proficient in both collective and stand-alone combat. I can't teach mass combat, so a lot of battles will reveal that level of proficiency."

"... wouldn't your students be mad if I said that? Whatever it takes, it'll be too humiliating."

"That's not true, they know that, too. Sure, my students worked hard, but he's also worked out so hard in front of them that he can't beat them. As you can see, they are also polishing themselves under Master Claw."

Festival Though I seem to hold Thoon's men at my side, it is a simple fact.

Since even the same infantry have different military disciplines in the first place, there are significant points due to compatibility before differences in proficiency and material training.

"Then how did you beat the Kingsguard? Kingsguards must be magical geniuses too."

Run had cloudless eyes and uttered outrageous things.

I know I don't mean to offend you, but I just want you to pick a few more words for whatever you want.

"That's right..."

"I don't mind telling you, I don't care anymore. Even the Captain General admitted to losing to you. It was a bitter experience for us, but it's not something we should abhor."

"Really? Well... in short, you can't use shrinkage with treasure"

Everyone agrees, including Happiness, oh.

Yes, the constraint is the immortal art that allows the instant movement of things, shrinkage.

Assuming all of Thoon's men can use shrinkage, the conversation just now will change completely.

Nevertheless, it would still not be a complete victory and would suffer commensurate damage.

"Right, Lord Thunder Chew. The most troublesome of your manipulations was the technique of disappearing from sight in an instant without preconditions, shrinkage. There are users who travel fast with fire and wind magic, but that basically only moves forward, and requires a few moments for acceleration. But the shrinkage, which is a fairy art, really disappeared in an instant, and it was as if I didn't know where it would appear. Combined with light martial arts, it's just divine. Supplements make it extremely difficult."

"... I saw the shrinkage used by the brother of a mountain water master named Fuukei, but that one had a preliminary motion for once. That's why I was able to deal with Thoon... and Mr. Suibok's really doesn't have any preconditions."

"Yeah, I don't have any spare motion, so I can't attack it lightly, even if I'm right in front of you. On the other hand, I even took my back, and I had eyes on my back, but they dodged me like that."

I shouldn't use it a lot because the battle is monotonous and causes my skills to drop, but the unpresented shrinkage is really hard to deal with.

That's how we tend to consolidate our defenses with magic, or we have to preface them with the ability to predict fortune.

I was prepared for both, but he was too immature to beat me.

"Of course, our Kingsguard tried to respond to that... anti-aircraft formation, here we go!

To the men in front of us, Claw commands.

Then once his men, who were aligned, were scattered, about three of them making back-to-back pairs and pointing their swords at the sky.

I see, it is a simple but good formation.

"Ho... you mean a formation against immortality"

Snae credited them with that in front of him.

Yes, this is the wizards' collective method of warfare to counter the manoeuvrability of the immortals.

"You're right, Master Snae. Immortality can fly in the sky, but it is a very slow journey, with the proper expression floating unlike magic. Very prompt in the case of falls or shrinkage, but even so, a moment of attack stays in one place. If he shows up in front of you, he responds with a sword, and if he discovers it over his buddy's head, he shoots magic diagonally up. Those simple methods of warfare were a countermeasure to Lord Sansui."

In fact, when they do that, my students will have to run away.

Assuming it's one-on-one, even the opponent can take it down, but if it's scattered lightly, the perimeter can quickly be assisted by a scalpel.

While you are defeating one, you will be slashed in the back but burned.

"… but it was not transferred to execution. Before we fought again, everyone understood. Sansui said you can't beat him in this formation."

Sadly, we were denying our own countermeasures, stirring up our minds.

Instruct your men again and align them in front of you.

Waiting for it, he explained the limits of the anti-aircraft formation as much as he did to us earlier.

"A premise exists to deal with the use of fairy arts in that formation. It's the limit of our skill that it has to consist only of something that can fight the immortals one-on-one."

Back to back with a threesome and make a distance between a group and a pair.

That means taking formations that reduce blind spots so that they don't get in each other's way.

This means that we have largely abandoned our strengths in the population.

If a Immortal Artist shows up in front of you, you have to hold out on your own for a few seconds or a few moments before your surrounding companions can assist you with a scalpel.

"Everyone understood so much that they didn't like it. Besides, Lord Commander..."

Seeing a sad claw, the faces of his men in alignment were cloudy.

Yes, it is an extremely specific hatred of me, a symbol of frustration for him.

"There wasn't even a single knight in the Kingsguard who could hold out one-on-one with you."

If it's a one-on-one melee, the magic isn't that strong.

Even me at the time, when I couldn't use my improvisational or masterful abilities, enough to defeat him with enough blows.

Yes, that's my bone, and that's what Master Suibok aimed for.

A swordsman with the same level of skill as Master Suibok while being able to continuously retract the shrinkage without preliminary motion.

Wang Qi, evil blood can reside and strengthen themselves, or if you can protect your body by magic, there is no way that magic that can just be highly aggressive can fight me in close proximity.

"We, the Kingsguards, almost all gave up. I had to give up."

The conclusion that the Kingsguards, who had already trained themselves, had come to the end of working out measures against me, was to give up and despair.

"You were the" most powerful swordsman "(...) the sword saint (...) of the child's face that Immortal Arts could use"
