I'll start the game with Luke.

"... have you read all this material?"

"If we don't do this, we won't even be able to stand on the start-line. Kensei?"

Luke analyzed all of Kensei's existing battle records and made a plan.

"Kensei is the kingdom's greatest fighter alongside the Sacred Treasure (Megas) class sorcerer.Undefeated in 700 individual fights, he is the mightiest knight in kingdom history.In one-on-one combat, power and experience are much higher than Noel's.It is the general view that they will be killed instantly without doing anything, and I think that is definitely the case if they come without preparation. "

"Yeah, I think so."

One of the heroic beings of the Kingdom.

Numerous prominent swordsmen and samurai are challenging him to defeat.

It's also overwhelming, so that you can point out that there is no hope in everything.

"But Luke can find a solution, right?"

"Of course."

I take it for granted, Luke.

This man, who seems to be a genius and is actually working harder and more prepared than anyone else, is probably the best in the Kingdom's magical world when it comes to countermeasures.

Investigate the opponent and thoroughly pinpoint the weakness, sealing it without using force.

If you fight in a bad way, you're a black bastard with no one to the right.

I don't know how much I suffered from this guy's mean way of fighting.

I really hate it in the first place.

But no one can rely on you like this as a partner in a superior fight that you can't win even if you fight normally.

"What should I do?"

"Keep your distance and keep attacking thoroughly.The rule is that Noel wins this game if he endures it for five minutes.All we have to do is run away and try to win in time. "

Luke says.

"The important thing is to have enough response power to withstand Kensei's attack.Especially the first attack. If we manage to lower it, the possibility of this seemingly desperate battle will also emerge.Noel can do it. I think so, and I believe it. "

The words gave me courage and strength.

I've been useless in my previous career.

He said he could do it.

Believe me.

How grateful it is.

"Let's practice dealing with superior opponents to deal with Kensei's attacks."

Luke took out a unique glossy bracelet.

"A secondary artifact that halves the magic of those equipped -" Magic Seal Bracelet ".I want Noel to put this on and train. "

"Practice to use magic effectively in situations with limited magic!I wanted to try this! "

As one of the high workouts, I secretly admired the practice that I had adopted in recent years.

Because magic equipment that limits magic is rare and expensive, I thought it was out of my reach, but there is a day when I can experience it.

"Oops! Really half the magic!"

It's my first experience.

"So, what kind of practice do you put this on?"

After all, is it a preliminary menu?

This is the first time I've had a high-load workout, and I'm going to start with a few simple steps -

"From now on, I'm going to put Noel on a roll in anticipation of the show.Hang in there for five minutes. "

…………

I lost my word for a while before saying it.

".................. eh?"

Then Luke really crushed me.

How can I fight Luke, a level genius who is famous in kingdom history, with his magic reduced by half?

It was a one-sided ravage that could no longer be called a battle.

Indeed, I think it was quite effective as a practice to escape and endure against a superior opponent with a difference in strength.

I couldn't do anything at first, but I gradually grasped how to do it.

Just one thing.

The only thing I'm really dissatisfied with is how I feel like I'm losing to Luke.

I was so annoyed that Luke put a bracelet around me at the end of the exercise, and I made it bumpy.

It felt so good.

"You see, my power! Wahaha!"

"You're really relentless, aren't you...."

"Because it's annoying. I don't want to lose."

"I'm not losing. It's handsome."

"Well, that's true.But you really don't want to lose to Luke. "

"Just me....."

Luke said after a moment of silence.

"... in that case, this isn't bad either."

............ eh?

You were unilaterally beaten up?

I wonder if you have such a hobby.

The fact of shock...

But each person likes it.

As a friend, I'll catch Luke like that.

And the days started, special training for the game before you.

The time for the two of us to work together on the task was sort of similar to that of the Magic Academy.

Hey, how do I solve this?

Think for yourself. Shit, let's start with this formula. "

We studied together in the library.

I'm already mad! Show me. Today, I'm going to make you feel better!

That's my line! I'll remind you of the difference in power between me and you! "

Compete in magical battles as soon as anything happens.

When I think about it, my cheeks are light blue.

It feels like we're back to me that day for a little while.

It may be a little strange to grow up like this.

But what's in front of me right now is not a regular exam.

The mightiest knight in the Kingdom's history.

Kensei.

No one thinks I can outrun the incredibly high walls.

Still, I'm not surprisingly scared.

We said we could fly and be invincible.

Let's win, Luke.

"Yeah, let's do it."

And we celebrate the day before you.

◇ ◇ ◇

Didn't you tell her?If you lose, this will be your last relationship with Buddy. "

"I couldn't say."

Luke said in Leticia's words.

"I wanted him to fight without thinking about extra things."

"You really...."

Reticcia sighs.

But at the same time, I think it looks like him.

Purity and calculation.

Gentle and paranoid.

A terrible human being who sways between two conflicting beings.

What awaits may be a tragic conclusion.

His Royal Highness the Prince and Kensei.

The blocking walls are too large.

The only thing that mattered most was trying to stay away from him.

He won't give up, even though he won't win first.

Really stupid and helpless.

That's why I can't leave you alone, dangerous junior.

It's going to be a tough fight.

"I understand."

He nods.

I read through all the materials available to me and put in place Kensei's countermeasures.

I wonder who understands its overwhelming strength better than anyone.

Sacred Treasure (Megas) - or a comparable wizard, you must first compete.

"However, I've noticed this time with his special training."

Suddenly he said.

"Have you noticed?"

"He had an unusual speed to adapt to combat with limited magic.Normal wizards take more than a month in a few days.It couldn't have happened. "

Luke Waltstein continued.

"He probably has something inside that he doesn't know."
