When it comes to the act of fighting, the concept of distance becomes very important.

Like the distance of your attack, the simple fact that your attacker's attack is out of reach is an advantage to reduce your damage to zero.

Also, not having to worry about your opponent's attack gives you the mental space to make your next move.

There is no end to the others, but being able to manage the distance, the advantage of being able to attack from a greater distance than the opponent's attack makes a difference in the effort required in combat.

That is why firearms have become a mainstream weapon in modern times.

The ability to inflict fatal wounds on the opponent farther and faster than the opponent.

In the beginning, the bare-handed and clubbed methods of attack gave birth to swords and bows and arrows, and with the passage of time, the gun was born.

As time went by, the distance for the means of attack increased, and now humans have created a weapon that can strike even on the other side of the world, the intercontinental ballistic missile.

Now, if you ask me whether the story is different in a fantasy world, I can say that there is not much of a difference.

The only difference is in the means and process.

The modern earth world uses weapons and the fantasy world uses magic.

That's the only difference.

Now, I've talked long and hard, but what I'm going to say is.

"Phew!

"Sweet! Watch your opponent's movements when you use magic! That's not even a check on you!

With magic as a long-range attack tool, I'm in a much better position to fight against the supervisor than I was the first time I fought him.

When I beat the supervisor's magic sword with the mineral tree, I'm going to take the distance that I wouldn't have done before because I knew it would put me at a disadvantage.

You are able to thrust out your left hand and concentrate your magic power there to instantly solidify the image, and a charged blue-white spear is created at the tip of your hand.

You can also have a look at the following tips to help you get a better understanding of the situation

The magic is just a blow to keep you in check, and I didn't expect any damage, so I'm going to challenge the close combat.

Thus, being able to choose the distance at will gave me more scope for battle, both mentally and practically.

......

Being given more breadth gives you some leeway in your thinking.

I glanced at the supervisor's face.

I only saw it for a moment, but the expression on his face was so serious

He seemed to be concentrating on teaching me.

Despite that conversation that day and that time we talked in the bathroom, our relationship hadn't changed.

My fiancé's status as a fiancé of the superintendent is not public knowledge, and only the superintendent, his parents, and the president, the demon king, know about it.

The reason for this is that the nobles around you are bound to oppose you if this news gets out.

That's why I'm fighting the superintendent as usual to complete my training.

You're distracted, focus!

"Yes!

Thinking about that, it was pointed out to me that my concentration was disrupted, and now I'm going to skip that from my mind and refocus on the fight.

Just being able to use magic has given me a greater range of tactics.

This is how you can regroup.

Step through the steps and fire a quick shot of intermediate magic to keep it in check while you partner up with another.

Before, you used to spend all your time thinking about how to close the distance, but now you can re-partition the distance or use magic to intercept and not be worn out at long range.

"Clothing.

And you're also wearing new skills.

"Storm

I've managed to formulate the costume magic, taught by the supervisor and instructor Fusio.

It's still in the trial and error stage, but it can be used in combat.

Activate the wind medium spell before you and the supervisor get close enough to activate it and take hold of it.

The magic that rages in your hand is circulated through your body as if circulating magic, blending in with your body's surface and draping it over you.

It's not a spell that will disappear in an instant, but rather a storm armor that feeds on my magic and constantly swings the stormy winds.

Hmph!

Its armor is a combination of offense and defense.

Its wind prevents your opponent's attacks and the storm rides on my shots.

If you swing the mineral tree just in time to avoid swinging it, its slash will produce a blade of wind and, if you swing it continuously, a storm with its blade.

If it were an ordinary opponent, I'd be confident that this is enough to shred them to pieces.

"You look cool!

To me, it's practically a breeze.

It's a good thing that you are able to break through the storm with a cool face even in the face of such a deadly blade.

Although it is now possible to fight not only at close quarters, but also at long distances, it is still not a ticklish realm.

There has been a slight awkwardness in switching distances from near to far and from far to near.

There are differences in experience, training, and skill.

It's a challenge that can be improved upon.

In the course of my studies, I've developed a technique that I haven't told my supervisor about.

One more step and you'll have the interval between swords.

If we're about to come to blows and shoot large-scale magic from this distance, it's no wonder he's about to self-destruct.

The supervisor calls it a breeze and comes through.

I'm going to be able to make a decision here, and I'm going to put my body into the air, and I'm going to jump in front of her.

I also take a deep breath to intercept her.

I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you.

Release the yell.

The magic-laden yell is a jolt that can frighten your opponent. It will fade away for lower-ranking undead, but for supervisors, it's no more powerful than a false alarm. It's just not going to work.

Yes, if it's just a yell.

This isn't just a yell.

I didn't mean for it to happen on my own, but it's a compounding effect I just happened to discover.

"What?

"Ho

The effect of the technique was the best achievement ever.

That supervisor let out a gasp of surprise.

That distance, and the quintessential surprise attack of the chicanery.

How about an imitation of ...... dragon breath?

Let's be honest, I'm surprised.

She put her hand over her mouth to wipe it off, spilling the residue of magic from her mouth, and asked the supervisor what she thought of it, a satisfied smile on her face.

I was able to unleash a pseudo-dragon breath by combining the Monkey's Scream and Clothing Magic.

It made the supervisor take a defensive stance for the first time.

The damage itself wasn't much, since it was just medium magic with my monkey cries, but it was more of a surprise than I expected.

The reason why I chose wind magic is because it's easy to use, but even more importantly, it's because it works well with the scream.

It's good to be taught and used as is, but it's also important to think of something else you can use.

The best thing about it is that the guy who came up with the idea to surprise you with a little bit of mischief has turned out to be surprisingly practical.

It is only a technique to match the timing of the release of the magic granted by the clothes magic to the Scream of the Monkey King, but by the nature of the Scream of the Monkey, the magic changes to the same shape as the roar.

That is to say, it takes the shape of a dragon's breath.

The difference between this and the dragon's breath is that the dragon produces it inside your body, while mine is made in front of your mouth.

The disadvantage is that you have to reapply the spell after each shot.

On the other hand, the advantage is that you can now spit out different types of breath, but it still needs improvement.

"Kukku, you really amuse me. Finally, you're imitating a dragon.

I thought it was better than to start out by saying I couldn't do it and then get all hard-headed about it.

I bet. Okay, we've wasted too much time talking. What have you got to show me? I'm looking forward to it.

As you might expect: ......

You don't come up with ideas that quickly.

The idea wasn't bad, but you need to come up with a more useful technique, and your use of magic is a bit crude. You should report on that as well.

"...... yes

The seeds of the new technique were exhausted, and I was usually beaten up after that.

I was more or less alerted by the supervisor while using the clothes magic, so I'd say it was a success, but if you ask me if I got stronger, I'm going to tilt my head back.

...... The bottleneck is the management of magic. After fighting, I found out that it's surprisingly difficult to manage in close combat.

"Kakaka, Jiro was originally a warrior. The consumption of magic is the minimum necessary. You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

All I can say about that is get used to it. Knowing the total amount of magic in your body, you can immediately calculate the distribution. It's a skill, but this is more a matter of individual feeling. I can't teach you that.

The magic is magic, and after using it, the amount of magic consumed was unprecedented, and managing the magic in your body was more difficult than I expected.

It's hard to know how much magic you can use.

That's why you can't use advanced magic all the time.

You have to chant, but that's just the way it is. Two Spartan instructors made me learn shortened chanting and no chanting.

Now it's time for a break to reflect on the battle and rehydrate.

In order to recover as much as possible, you drink oral rehydration solution while sitting in a chair to let the water soak into your body.

"Swordsmanship, too, doesn't happen overnight. It's ingrained.

It's no use. The patterns are the same as you taught me yesterday. Use it as a basis for application.

And I've been improving in terms of close combat.

So far I've been poised, or at best, it sounds like I've been moving without a stance, but I'm not in my wheelhouse.

However, my supervisor has taught me a few kata and I've become somewhat comfortable with them.

It will take some time for me to get used to it, but it will definitely be a weapon.

With that in mind, I was looking back on the fight with my supervisor.

By the way, Jiro.

"Yes? What is it?

...... Have you and Evia decided to get married?

"Gofo!

This skull guy intentionally timed it to coincide with the time I was having my drink.

I thought it was a little known fact from the supervisor's words, but Instructor Fusio clatters his jawbone as if he couldn't miss such an interesting story.

"The Immortal King.

You're going to have to make sure that you have the right kind of equipment in place.

You're going to be able to use it to make your life easier.

It's nothing to worry about now. From my point of view, it's about to be a decent match. Nohjirou?

"No, don't talk to me there.

"Hmm? By the looks of it, you haven't heard back yet.

Yes,

Sandwiched between two people who were on the one hand frustrated and on the other hand happy, I could only give a safe answer.

That day, when she asked me about my engagement to the supervisor, naturally I thought about it too.

My feelings and my social status.

I took both into account, and as it turns out, I don't have an answer yet.

If you ask me if I have feelings for the supervisor, I can say that I like him, but I've never thought of him as a romantic interest.

If you ask me if it is conceivable, I would say it is conceivable.

But every time the word "political marriage" flashed in my mind, I felt guilty as if I was taking advantage of my position as a supervisor.

This is probably the reason why people say that you have no desire for success.

Kaka, you're bothering me. I'll be happy to hear that.

While wondering how to tell the story, Instructor Fusio seemed to understand and dismissed it.

'What are you thinking about, Immortal?

"The old man's meddling. It's about a little girl who was in your charge.

Don't do anything extra.

"Kakaka, it's up to the Lord to decide if it's superfluous or not.

I was not the only one whose actions made me wonder, but the supervisor as well.

I don't know what he's going to do.

I tried to nail it, but it was like a nail in a bran, but it wasn't strong enough.

Drifting along, they said the break was over and training resumed.

The supervisor must have felt that if the training resumed, he would not be able to interfere.

Without hiding his expression, he began to move to fight me again.

Jiro.

I stood up to face it, but Instructor Fusio called me over.

I turn around and see Instructor Fuschio looking at me, but I don't get his usual teasing vibe.

Give him a face to face.

It was like a parent worrying about their child.

Instead of telling me to do what he always does, he just asked me to do it and then he went to his position to watch me fight.

What does he mean by that and what does he expect me to do?

I don't know now, but those words have definitely taken root in my mind.
