In order to compete in a national contest, you must win the right to compete in the final qualifiers in each region.

Incorporating the Ardenfeld Kingdom is the final qualifier for the Western Continent.

However, in recent years, the Kingdom has been forced to struggle in this final qualification.

While other countries were preparing to raise their total strength, the reason was that they were sending athletes without much effort as a wizard.

In the first place, the Royal Palace Magic Division in Ardenfeld has a tradition of being an organization focused on magic research.

Many of our current general secretaries have been successful in their first time in human history.

That's why I remember thinking that if I really worked on it, I should be able to achieve better results.

In the last final, which was held four years ago, all three players sent here were defeated.

None of them could advance to the main battle.

According to this result, some newspapers in the empire have written that the Ardenfeld Kingdom is no longer our enemy or that it is an outdated magical backward country.

The Empire is only winning by calling the Forest Fairy (Elf) Wizard as a helper!

I can't forgive you! I'm gonna blow you up!

"All right, Springfield." That's the spirit. "

What I said was that he was also selected as a representative player.

Ryan Barnwell, an Adamantite-class sorcerer who serves in the third place.

"All you need to win the battle is a burning heart.I see, it's just a prominent new star that has ascended at the second fastest rate in history. "

Senior Ryan continues to nod with satisfaction.

"Look, Springfield." We have infinite possibilities.Look at this plant called bamboo, which is distributed in the Far East.She continued to stand softly without losing to the storm or the snow, and continued to raise her face to the sky.What a beautiful and powerful figure.Let's fight like that bamboo.You can do it. Starting today, we are bamboo! "

…………

This senpai is a hot magic user after Mr. Gawain.

I feel like I'm a special person for a while,

That's right! It's Bamboo!

and thrust his fist upwards.

"Let's do it! Let's go, Springfield!"

"Yes! Let's run towards the sunset!"

It is my doctrine to keep an interesting Nori on board for now.

I like this kind of hot stuff.

Luke, the cool, cool guy with the opposite pole, looked at me and my senpai with cold eyes.

I wish Luke could do it. It would be fun.

When I told her that,

“Definitely not”

A reply that does not say whether it is or not.

But this time, the three of us are on the team.

It should definitely be better if we all do it together.

Having thought of that, I decided to devise a secret strategy.

"Hey, Luke. If you can do a bamboo, I can give you this special lunch egg."

"I don't need it."

"Gu... I can't help it. Just one thing."For one thing, this deep-fried chicken. "

"Do you want my hamburger?"

That's okay!? Thank you! Wow!

The hamburger cooked by the chef of the mansion where Luke lived was melting and tasty enough to melt his cheeks.

After a happy lunch full of unexpected battles, I suddenly noticed.

Hah!

Damn it...!

Losing Hamburg's temptation, he completely forgot his original purpose.

That's right, Luke.

Deceiving me as a lovely adult girl full of intelligence and education...!

I couldn't do it with a rope.

At the brain level, you could say it's exactly the opposite of me.

While I am impressed by the power of my best friend, I recall the happy taste of Torofuwa Hamburg.

... I'll ask you if you can give it to me tomorrow.

◇◇◇

Training as a national player began in the national contest.

Luke Waltstein thinks in the auditorium of the Royal Magic Division's special exercise area.

(What's a bamboo...)

For Luke, who is a realist and calmly and objectively sees the situation, the seniors with out-of-town fever were the most incomprehensible opponents.

That said, he doesn't expect much from people just because he's worried about it.

I know that there are people I cannot understand from the beginning, and if I only do what I should do as a person with good guidelines, I can get involved as a partner in a good relationship without any problems.

The problem is - there's someone involved that he cares about more than anything else.

Let's do it! Let's go, Springfield!

Yes! Let's run towards the sunset! Senpai!

She immediately got along with the senior.

An active personality that is originally compatible with the opponents of the sports club.

She was competing for the most powerful seat in the cannibalism battle with a senior athlete in the college, so it was unexpected.

Still, the appearance of two moody people is not pleasant to look at.

(... you idiot. Become an adult, me)

I understand that it is a stupid feeling.

In the first place, as the next president of a famous family, I am not allowed to be married to her.

Too close would hurt her, and she might not want it in the first place.

All I can do is watch over her next to me.

If she can be happy, she must be blessed even if she is married to someone else.

If you're happy, then I'm happy.

I wish I could say that from the bottom of my heart.

(Nonsense, I...)

Complete a day of practice while thinking of such things in a self-mocking manner.

Luke was greeted by an old monocle butler who had returned to his family home in Waltstein.

Welcome back, Luke.

Yeah. Thank you.

With all due respect, they headed to the deepest room on the second floor of the mansion.

Inside it, sunk in the pitch-darkness, outside lights were streaming in through the gaps in the curtains.

How about your head and tail?

The words sounded a little different in the dark.

"Everything is going according to plan, Luke."

The old butler nods.

"In the promotion to the rank of sacred treasure (Maygas), we succeeded in capturing one-third of the leading nobility in the royal palace.That being said, it's a condition that we have enough results to convince the neutral layer. ”

“Yeah, that's fine. It's too much."

Luke Waltstein says.

"I finally got here." finally.... "

Biting words.

The time I kept wishing for was stuck there.

He kept asking for this opportunity.

Ascended to the Holy Treasure (Maygas) Class Mage.

An overwhelming achievement that can silence everything from family ties and positions to thoughts.

The strongest card that even allows you to be associated with a commoner, her.

"But, Luke, if you don't expect too much... it won't be easy to convince the neutral that you're the youngest in history."

"I know. You won't make it to the semi-winners." We have no choice but to win. "

“Country wars are harsh battles where the wizards representing each country do everything in their power to prove their worth.Many of us have honed ourselves by specializing in individual magic battles to win here.At the last tournament, no one even advanced to the main battle.In addition, there is also the magician of the Forest Fairy (Elf) who boasts the strength of being apart from humans ─ ─ "

"I can't win." Is that what you want to say? "

Cold sounding words like ice.

However, the old butler continued to swing his words.

"Of course, I wouldn't say such a thing under normal circumstances."I truly believe that Lord Luke is a better wizard than anyone else. But ─ ─ "

Once I was stuck with words, I said:

"The doctor stopped you from appearing, right?"

The old butler's words were true.

The highest difficulty labyrinth unspoiled area.

The price of not looking at one's own body in a fierce battle with Hierarchical Guardians.

Even the famous doctors of the Duke's house were unable to fully heal the deep wounds.

"It was a country-specific match that no one even advanced to the main game at the last tournament.There is nothing bigger as a result of winning here.I don't have a chance like this. If you don't reach out, you can't do anything.I know that. "

Luke Waltstein said.

"I'm coming, I'm going to win. That's the decision."
