Now I was on the training grounds, facing Deanna, a little distance away from her.
Master Rid, I'm coming now ....... ......."
"Yes, please, Deanna. "
When I nodded my head in reply, she held out one hand slowly, as if to show me her palm.
Then, as she looked at me, she uttered a voice
"Fire spear !"
At the same time as Deanna uttered her voice, a "fire spear" was generated from her palm and flew straight toward me.
I concentrated and cast my magic power into the wooden sword in my hand to "add magic power" to it.
Then, with a cry of "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa ," I used the wooden sword to cleave the "Fire Spear" that was coming right in front of me.
The moment the spell and the wooden sword made contact, I felt a shock in my hand and arm that was holding the wooden sword.
The sensation may be similar to that of striking a ball with a bat.
However, the impact vanished in an instant, and the "fire spear" that was right in front of me was successfully destroyed by Cleave with the wooden sword.
Shaking my body, I pointed the tip of my wooden sword at the heavens and shouted with joy.
"I did it!"
Deanna, who had been standing a short distance away, ran up to me, smiling and smiling.
'Well done, Master Rid."
"Deanna, thank you for helping me."
I thanked Deanna with a big smile on my face for helping me learn how to use a wooden sword with magical powers to slice away the magic.
Then he smiled at me.
"As expected of you, Master Rid," . I didn't expect you to learn magic addition so quickly."
The magic addition is performed with the image of covering the "object" in your hand with magic power.
But since the activation is quite limited, a clear image of the object is necessary.
I feel that it has been a long time since I have struggled to learn magic.
I can say that my magic power is connected to the wooden sword I am holding, and a little bit of magic power always flows from my body, that kind of feeling.
I shook my head lightly at Cross's words.
"No, it was because of the way you taught me,. Thank you."
"No, I only told you how to do it . It's all about your ability, Master Rid."
I was happy to hear Cross's words of praise, and I was a little embarrassed.
But one thing suddenly struck me and I turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
"Come to think of it, why didn't Sandra teach me about magical addition?"
Yes, if it was Sandra, there is no way she would not have known about magic addition.
When she taught me about the magic barrier, she could have taught me about magic addition as well.
When Cross heard what I said, he answered with a wry smile.
"Oh, that's right,. Sandra-sama asked me to teach you about magic addition."
'Oh, ......? Is that so? But why?"
I couldn't help but express my surprise at Cross's words.
I don't think there are many magicians who are better than Sandra, but is Cross actually very good with magic?
"However, it was said that even Miss Sandra could not handle swordsmanship, so I was asked to teach you how to add magic power to a wooden sword."
But since Sandra-sama is also not very good at swordsmanship, I was the only one who could teach her how to add magic.
'Ah...... swordsmanship, I see. "
I huffed at his words and then nodded with a look of satisfaction on my face.
Certainly, it would be possible for Sandra to turn a magical addition into a wooden sword.
But I think it would be difficult for her, whose main focus is research, to reap the oncoming magic with a sword.
If she was asked to do it, Sandra might be able to handle it.
Cross nodded at my reply, then his eyes sharpened a little and he said, "I th
'At ......, I think it's time for some actual combat training.'
"I understand," . We use both magic and swordsmanship, don't we?
In response to my question, Cross lightly shook his head.
"No, Rid-sama has just learned to add magic, so please use mainly magic. I will focus on swordsmanship. Then I can show you how to use the magic barrier and magic addition."
"I understand. But I think I'm pretty strong with magic as my main weapon, ?
"I wish to do so. I have heard this from Sandra. But ...... let me tell you that magical talent is not the deciding criterion in a battle."
Cross smiles wryly and bows to me.
"I'm not going to go easy on you,"
"I'll take it as well as I can. Then let's gain a little distance."
He nodded, turned his back to me and moved away, at the same time calling out to Capella, who was nearby.
" Capella, may I ask you to be the referee for me and master Rid's standing?"
Yes, sir."
Capella nodded and walked between me and Cross.
Cross looked me squarely in the face from a short way off and smiled as he held his wooden sword up to his right eye.
Please come at me anytime, Mister ...... Rid."
'Ok. Capella, please give the signal to begin."
Capella nodded in response to my request, and her voice was high-pitched.
Then, let's begin the match between Rid-sama and Cross-sama. Let the match begin!
As soon as Capella's voice echoed through the training grounds, I fired three fire spears at Cross as a way of greeting.
However, Cross does not try to avoid them, but rather confronts them with a smirk on his face, and then he cleaves away the fire spears that are so close to him with his wooden sword, making them disappear at a leisurely pace.
He then reaped the nearby fire spear with his wooden sword and effortlessly made it disappear.
"The fact that the Bardia Knights' vice-commander is recognized by father and Commander Dinas is no doubt a true honor. ......"
"I am honored by your praise. However, although Master Rid's "Fire Spear" is a great spell, it is a straight-line one. With a distance like this, it is easy to slice away. Now, let's go this side next."
As soon as he had finished saying this, he instantly closed the gap between us using body enhancement, and I quickly caught him with the wooden sword I had in my hand.
The attack from Cross was heavy, but not so heavy that it was impossible to withstand.
Perhaps he was holding back.
As a result, Cross and I were locked in a swordfight.
In the midst of this, I had a frustrated look on my face.
"......, aren't you going to let me fight mainly with ...... magic?"
'It's a real battle mode, you know. I said magic-based, but I didn't say you don't have to use a sword."
When he finishes, Cross still smiles with a relaxed smile.
'Fine, then I'll show you my magic ...... ".
I finished, and then I cast a spell in my mind.
The name of the spell is " earth observation ", as the name implies, it is a spell to manipulate the earth with earth attribute magic.
I can' t make elaborate things, but I can make simple things such as walls and scaffolding.
..'.. how about the ...... ?"
Cross was quick to sense something was happening around my feet and pulled back, a look of shock on his face.
With a roar, the earth suddenly rose up from under my feet and a mud wall was formed in front of me.
But it's not finished yet.
I quickly step out from the side of the wall and shoot a fire spear at it.
But not just three shots, as I had done earlier.
Small fire spears were generated around my fingertips.
I fired them in rapid succession as if they were machine guns.
Magic also has this kind of branch.
The continuous sound of the fire spears being shot out in succession echoed around the area.
The crosses were suddenly caught off guard by the earthen walls growing out of the earth and seem to have delayed evasive action.
As a result, my magic is being caught by the wall.
"I didn't know that you could use that kind of earth-attributed magic . And the magic derived from this fire spear is also great."
'Thank you for the compliment. I'm not sure how long the cross barrier wall will last, though ......."
I keep shooting fire spears and random fire with the intent of destroying the magical barrier wall of the Cross.
I have more magic power than ever before, I can spare this much.
If I continue to fire the fire spear, I will be victorious.
Just when I was thinking that, Cross lowered his stance and released the barrier, and at the same time, he jumped backwards to get away from me.
.."....⁉I won't let you go!"
As I cast a spell, ten slightly smaller than normal fire spears were created to surround me, and they flew toward Cross as if they were tracking him.
Yes, the Fire Spear Type 2 is less powerful than the Fire Spear, but it is a magic that incorporates a tracking capability.
It chases the opponent like a missile.
Cross thought he was avoiding it, but was startled to see the fire spear tracking him from behind.
However, he seems to have understood its nature immediately.
He turned around to see the ten fire spears tracking behind him and cut them all down with his wooden sword.
I don't miss the moment when he swings away. Cross stopped his legs to cut them down.
I put my hands on the ground and cast another spell in my mind.
The name is "Vine Manipulation Rope Binding," a spell of wood magic to create plant "vines" and restrain the opponent.
The strength of the vine is proportional to the amount of magic power used.
Cross cuts off my spell and immediately shifts his gaze to me.
But it was too late.
At that moment, a "vine" grows out from under his feet and begins to entangle Cross in an effort to restrain him.
, "Is this also your magic, Master Rid?
"I told you, didn't I? I'll show you my magic. ...... This is the end of the fight ".
The spells that I am using now in various ways were conceived while doing the "charcoal making" that I did after returning from Renalute
It is a spell that was secretly created without anyone's knowledge by diverting knowledge of earth and wood attribute magic, so even though it is a cross, it should be hard to deal with if it is your first time seeing it!
Besides, a wooden sword would not be able to cut the "vine".
With this, I win.
Just when I thought that, Cross gave me a nasty smirk.
'I'm going to lose if I don't get a little more serious. ...... Then, since it's a good opportunity, I'll show you the magical power addition branch as well."
"What? ......⁉"
I get a bad feeling about Cross's words.
At that moment, Cross cuts off the attacking "vines".
"!?"
I was astonished at the sight.
The vines generated by magic are filled with a little too much magic power.
In other words, it should have a certain strength, but Cross cut them with a wooden sword.
And then he comes running through and closing the gap, quickly cutting away the vines that attack.
"What the hell!?" I immediately shoot another attack spell to check him.
However, he kept advancing, cutting off all my magic and not stopping his momentum.
, "Master Rid's magic is indeed great, but if it doesn't hit you, it doesn't matter what the spell is to me ."
"No, , no, you must have hit me, since you are cutting away my magic."
When he was close to me, I quickly created a wall of earth between me and him to help me regain my stance.
However, he jumped over the wall with a high leap, taking advantage of his physical strength, and landed behind me, flipping his body in the air.
I sensed the danger, turned around, and at the same time activated the barrier.
"It's an application of magical addition to the , feel it in your body!"
Cross swung his wooden sword down toward me with a high voice.
At that moment, I felt the wooden sword cut through the barrier that I had created.
"What do you mean? Doesn't the magic barrier also protect against physical attacks? ......?"
Yes, my barrier wall was cut open by a blow from his wooden sword.
The impact of the impact made me fall on my rear end and I am looking up at the Cross.
And his broken wooden sword was in front of me.
Cross looked at my battle-scarred face and then smiled kindly.
"The power of the martial arts crossed with magic addition increases significantly. The magic addition can be used to attack as well as to cut magic. But to get that much power, you need to have a good amount of practice in both magic and martial arts."
...."..It's not fair, you should have told me that earlier."
I looked up at Cross with a grim look in my eyes and fell backwards, sprawled out on the ground in a heap.
At that moment, Capella's voice echoed through the training grounds.
"The match is won by Master Cross."
When you cross magic addition with martial arts, the power increases dramatically ......?
Come to think of it, my father once had a magical barrier erased, but I wonder if that was how it happened, too.
Thinking back on that, I let out a frustrated sigh as I looked up at the sky.
"Huh,...... I lost,......."
I looked up to see a shadow above me, and there she was, Deanna, with a black grin on her face.
'......Master Rid, that was a great match.'
Deanna, with her grin , holds out her hand to me and helps me get up.
As I stand up with her help, I thank her, puzzled by her mood.
'Umm, yes, thank you. ."
'By the way, Master Rid, what magic did you use during the match? I don't think I've ever seen it before. Did you create it without telling us?"
I huffed and felt an unpleasant sweat begin to run down my cheeks.
As much as possible, I work with Sandra and the others when I make magic.
But the magic I used in this match was magic that I secretly created and practiced in secret when I had the idea and couldn't stay away.
I noticed that Capella also had a stunned look on her face.
I looked around and let out a dry laugh.
'Ha ha ha ...... just now, I thought of something ......, that's indeed not going to get through, is it ......?'
"Of course not!"
After that, I was scolded by my chaperone, Deanna, and I was left hanging in the corner for a while.
Now I was on the training grounds, facing Deanna, a little distance away from her.
Master Rid, I'm coming now ....... ......."
"Yes, please, Deanna. "
When I nodded my head in reply, she held out one hand slowly, as if to show me her palm.
