We have a level system in place for mankind.

scene: 148 The energy situation in the United States

I'm going to circle my mind through my body and strengthen my body's muscles with that mind. With explosive power, I rip off a man's legs with a spear blade.

The man who jumped and struck his spear swings his sword down at me. She lifted the blade spear with both hands and released the front kick. Before that, the kick hit the wind guarding around the man and was paralyzed.

I almost lost my balance, so I jumped back with one foot. The man jumps like he's chasing it. I shake my blade like a spear. He was parrying it with his sword, and a spinning kick flew in.

Reflexively take it with one hand. My body was bounced by the impact of the kick. Since it uses the "Mobile Armor" skill, it does no damage. That said, the current kick was powerful enough to be hit by a car. It seemed that men also had the ability to power up.

Parry a series of Slashing Strikes with a spear and dodge them in steps. As the tip of the sword passes near my body, I hear the sound of air slashing. It's a chilly sound, and I'm frightened.

Pouring my heart into my feet, I kicked the ground from a low stance. Stuffing up the distance, I slammed the blade spear into the man's head with all my might. The man waved his sword and the body of the sword clashed with the ear of the spear.

The blade spear made an abnormal noise. I jumped down and checked the spearhead. There was a crack in the spear's ear.

"You're kidding."

It seemed like the life of the Blade Spear had come to an end. I took care of the blade spear and took out my new weapon. The horns obtained from the giant beetle were processed using "Special Weapon Making".

It is about 120 centimeters long and has a thorny blow at the tip. It looked like a baton, but its power was staggered.

Even though it is sturdier than steel, it is lighter than steel, and the tip with thorns becomes heavier when it pours its aura into it. There was also a special attack.

A man's sword attacked. I played with a weapon named "Divine Thunderclap [Shinraikon]". The surface of the Divine Thunderclap was as shiny as the horns of a beetle. A dozen thorns at the tip sparkle and a small spark sprinkle as you pour your magic into it.

In this state, only the tip part is abnormally heavy. It may weigh more than fifty kilograms, by the way.

The man's sword was also unusually sturdy. With an ordinary sword, it would break if I caught the Divine Thunderclap, but it didn't break the blade.

"If I had this much skill, I could have lived on the work of the Explorer alone." Why do you imitate lawlessness? "

"Hmm, what are you going to do in a world like this, working seriously?"

There seems to be despair in a man's heart. That's why it's unacceptable to try to rule with violence.

The man kicked the ground and put dirt on me. I jumped back with a reflective faceguard. In the meantime, it seems that the man decided to use his skills.

The skill chosen by the man was [Flame Manipulation]. I released Flame Strike at close range. I was prepared to risk getting myself involved. I guess the wind guard decided it was okay.

I couldn't avoid being released from too close a distance. When it hits me and explodes, the flames envelop me and the blast spreads around.

The man laughed as he endured the blast. I was convinced that I had won. However, the Divine Thunderclap stretched out from the flame and cracked the man's head.

"Oh, that's so stupid..."

A man with blood spurting out of his head collapsed.

Huh, that was close.

I looked around. Kawai seemed to have taken care of it in search of survival.

The Canberra bandits that attacked us were wiped out. We also attacked and sunk the ships that the bandits came aboard. I know Canberra will have friends, but I don't think we're going to get to Queensland.

Kawai and I decided to go back to Japan. When I fly on Will's plane, I start talking to Kawai.

"This will calm Australia down. I don't have any more concerns."

What are you going to do about Kojiro?

"I'm thinking of studying the civilization of the Quell clan." That three-dimensional sigil sounds interesting. "

Well then, I'll help myself.

"Well, aren't you farming with your parents?"

"Who said that?" I don't want to engage in agriculture because I have the "manipulation technique". "

"I see. It would be better if there were more people, but it would be helpful." I'm sure I'll be asked to help out during a busy farming day. ”

"I'll do my best to help you." But I want to do something new. By the way, did the research on the metal plate you got in Australia's food district go ahead? ”

"To my surprise, it belonged to the Quell clan." They were called the 'Tashels', to be exact, but they were of the same race as the Quells, and they were building a similar civilization. ”

"Hmm, the difference between the Japanese and the Israelis is about the same."

"Well, maybe so." I'm just going to name it "Quell Civilization" as a whole. "

“That sounds interesting. This WilPlane was also made by the Tashel Clan, so if we understand the principles, we might be able to make the same thing.”

Kawai wants to make a vehicle like Will Plain. If it can be made, Agarta may be able to build a civilization far away from Earth's civilization.

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

After returning to Agarta's palm trees, we began to work on the establishment of the laboratory. The funds were to be turned to profit from the production tree business.

First, we will start mass production of red lightning stone power generation equipment. We built six factories in Agarta to produce everything from ultra-small to large-scale power plants.

While this factory was being built, Elena and I were born. The girl named Anna will be my treasure.

At that time, America began to suffer from energy problems. Americans whose lives have stabilized have consumed more energy.

That's why we're building a nuclear power plant in the food area, but it took a few years to complete it. President Salinger summoned Roland, who was the head of the mission to Japan.

"Mr. Roland, sit down."

The President questioned Roland, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Do you think it is possible to increase exports of Japanese red thunderstones?"

“I think it's possible.”

The President felt uncomfortable when Roland said so clearly.

"Tell me what the rationale is."

“As the head of the mission, I have been to Agarta, Japan, many times since then. I realized that the people I met there weren't worried that the red thunderstone would run out.”

The president tilted his head.

I mean, what do you mean?

It seems that we have acquired a tremendous amount of red thunderstone reserves or a method for producing red thunderstone.

”Whatever... if it's the manufacture of the Red Thunderstone... if it's true, I feel like I've been betrayed”

“Why? It's natural to keep such matters a secret. If the United States discovers it, I think it will.”

President Salinger smiles bitterly. I thought I wouldn't publish it myself.
