The World’s Strongest Martial Artist who has Worked too Hard, Survives in the Magic World With Ease

That night.

We were visiting Mr. Tronko's mansion when he took the train from Dracula back to King's Capital.

Tomorrow morning we decided to travel by airship and have them stay at the Mansion today.

We had a delicious dinner, took a relaxing bath, and now we're just lying in bed.

Blurring like this brings back memories of the Kingdom of Grune.

"Finally, goodbye to the Kingdom of Grune..."

"It's been so much fun."

"Right. I'm gonna miss traveling."

It's a short stay, but I had a dense time.

Embrace Mr. Noir, who was seasick.

Compete in militant competitions.

Train Nemia.

Meet a baby stronger than Mr. Noir.

I couldn't fulfill my original purpose, but I'm very satisfied that I was able to have a meaningful time.

"The melon bread I had during the martial arts tournament was delicious. And the baby was so cute."

Mr. Noir seems to like the Kingdom of Grune too, and suppose he'll come back when he gets the chance? We'll have to remember the anti-drunken pills then!

"Lord Ash. Lord Noir, are you still awake?

I hear Nemia calling from across the door.

"I'm awake."

When I replied, Nemia grabbed the wooden knife and came to the bedroom.

If one I don't know was on this scene, I'd probably mistake him for coming to attack my sleep, but he's not, actually.

For Nemia, a wooden walking wood knife is a stuffed animal. If you hold it, you can sleep.

That means you visited the bedroom with it.

"Actually... I'd like to be with you two until morning. We can't be together much longer..."

I'm sure you miss breaking up with us. Mr. Noir cheers on Nemia, who says shy.

"I want to sleep with you, too. 'Cause it's more fun sleeping in large numbers."

I won't put it on my face, but Mr. Noir also seems to miss breaking up with Nemia properly.

Listening to Mr. Noir's words, Nemia snuggled happily into bed.

"Lord Ash! I grew up a little bit, didn't I?

Apparently, he came here to chat rather than to sleep.

He looked at me like I expected, and I answered instantly.

"You're growing up right. Nemia defeated the demon."

Nemia defeated the demon with courage. I'm pretty sure you've grown spiritually, and you should be improving your magic.

"When Lord Ash told me that, I felt really strong!

Nemia makes her voice bounce with joy.

"But I want to be stronger! That's why I decided to go to the Elstadt School of Magic that I've always dreamed of!

I knew that Nemia admired the Elstadt School of Magic. The day I first met him, he asked me about 'I want to enroll someday' on the train.

But for one of these countries, the continent is the Nest of Bakery Things. For that reason, Nemia seemed reluctant to visit the kingdom of Elstadt... but she decided to enroll, which means she's not now.

"Aren't you afraid of the continent?

"I've traveled with you two and seen a lot of demons! Compared to that, I'm not afraid of continents!

It's a little different from shock therapy, but seeing so many demons on the road to Dracula makes you mentally stronger?

Really, you've grown. Perhaps the best harvest of coming to the Kingdom of Grune was being seen growing Nemia.

"Elstadt School of Magic, where Lord Ash and Lord Noir were enrolled! If you can get through there, you can definitely be strong!

Nemia is high tension.

The Erstadt School of Magic is the highest educational institution in the world. It must have been a place of admiration for Nemia, just like I was.

Imagine yourself passing through there, feeling excited.

"Taking an exam at this time means taking an integration exam, right?

General entrance exams are ahead of us for the time being, and Nemia is twelve in the first place. The only way to enroll is to take an age unlimited entrance exam.

"I intend to! My grandfather told me that the entrance exam was a narrow gate, but let me try to break through in the mood!

Breaking through in the mood?

That's just my apprentice, he's just like thinking!

Ma, in Nemia's case, we'll be able to break through with strength, not temper.

If we had a track record of winning the children's section of the militant tournament, we would be able to break through paperwork screening, and we should be able to complete magic measurements.

The question is a practical exam, but from what I've seen of the martial arts tournament, Nemia is not a fire-powered gorilla pusher type, because she's a technologist. Whatever exams will be imposed, you will be able to handle them ad hoc and you will be able to pass them safely!

... Nevertheless, the more you think about it, the better apprentice you are. Isn't there anything I can do for you anymore, Nemia?

One last thing or so, I'd like to do something that looks like a master to you... yes.

"If you're coming to Elstania, you should finally watch the game between me and Mr. Cuhle."

Mr. Cule is the most powerful wizard in the world. If you look at that battle up close, it should help something.

Was my suggestion unexpected, Nemia?

"But... the game will take place in the college, won't it? Am I allowed to watch the game?

"The arena is huge and you won't get in the way. And I'll ask the Dean of the Academy, Ai, to do it for me."

That's about all I can do for you as a master, Nemia.

"I'm looking forward to the match between Lord Ash and Lord Cuhle! Wow! It's burning when I think about the future! It's going to be a little bare!!

Nemia rolls her motivation and rushes to leave the room behind.

Seeing a motivated apprentice, I'm kind of on fire, too.

"... you look like you trained"

"You got it."

"Something long and tight. But can you train alone?

"It's not just training to boost magic. There are things you can do without your master."

Practicing drawing runes, for example, is a fine training exercise.

Not that magic improves, but if you fail to practice it, the magic wand (Withers Rod) may burn out with friction fever.

In fact, my partner (first generation) only got the pattern.

Besides, I'm going to play the Wizard's debut against Mr. Cule! At that time, if my partner (second-generation/revamped) only has the pattern, I won't be able to debut it.

Think about it, you can't just not practice!

"Well, I'm going to train you!

"I'll stick with you, too. 'Cause one misses something"

That's how we went to Nemia, who pretended to be bareback, and trained until the morning sun rose.
