“I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to cheer you on.”
“It’s okay.” (Sophie)
“I’ll be sure to keep you posted.” (Zeros)
“Thanks. By the way, are you ready? Did you forget anything?”
“I’m fine. We’re off.”
“Be careful.”
It’s already the morning of the day, We’re going to the Holy Taglion, the host country of the school tournament. When I left the house, the second son, Judson ni-san, saw me off. It seems that he’s is in the middle of some kind of research and just can’t come to see us during the tournament. And until today, the members participating in the school battle had been working hard on Sophie’s slightly spartan training. They would be able to rest a little more during the trip. You should get some rest while you can.
Of course, I, Sophie, and Shana were also working on powering up on our own. I even had a mock battle with Sophie and Shana at the training grounds.
It occurred to me that the title, lightning rod is quite complicated and interesting. One thing I’d been wondering was whether my lightning magic reacts to the lightning rod title. If it does, I’ll practically be unable to use lightning magic. I fired my lightning spell, hoping that it wouldn’t react, and it worked properly. But even if it didn’t, it might have been a little interesting.
Just as I was thinking that it might have been a little interesting if it had reacted, the spell I had cast suddenly changed course and came towards me. At that moment, even though I knew it wouldn’t hurt, I was momentarily panicked. It seems that I can arbitrarily decide whether the lightning spell I cast will be affected by lightning rod.
But the lightning spell that Sophie cast was forced to come towards me, and the lightning spell that Ziel emitted was also able to resist the effect of the lightning rod. Since there are few examples, I’m not sure yet, but I’ve come to the conclusion that the lightning spells of me and my contracted spirits can arbitrarily determine whether lightning rod works, while others cannot.
And the more powerful the lightning that comes at me, the faster it comes at me. Also, the speed at which it comes at me gets faster and faster. So if I caught it at the very edge of the 50-meter range of effect, it would have a very high speed when it hits me. By the way, I didn’t feel any shock when I was hit by lightning at that speed. And this effect was perfect for practicing my fast reflexes. The lightning rod effect meant that no matter how much I avoided it, the lightning would keep coming towards me. Moreover, the speed of the lightning kept increasing. So it was fun to challenge the limits of my reflexes. When I was doing this alone in the practice field recently, I was a little hurt by the eyes around me.
“Huh? Knight Commander?”
“Oh, Zero and the others are here.”
When I went to the school grounds, where we were meeting today, I saw the Knight Commander. And there are other people dressed like knights as well. I’ve heard of knights and adventurers escorting us, but I hadn’t heard of the Knight Commander escorting anyone.
“The knight commander will also be escorting us?”
“Yes. I’ll escort you back and forth.”
It seems that this country will be disqualified if a problem occurs along the way because we’re the only representatives of the country. Therefore, the knight commander will be escorting us directly. National relations are quite troublesome…
“The king has his own personal guards, so it’s no problem if I leave the country for a month.”
“I see!”
“But… from the time the battle interschool battle starts until it ends, I’ll be on unpaid leave.” ……
“Haha…”
It’s true that during the matches, he’ll only be watching and not guarding us, but it’s a little pitiful that he won’t be paid for it.
“Long time no see, Zeros.”
“Oh! Tira-san.”
Suddenly, hands were placed on my shoulders from behind and I was spoken to, and when I looked back, there was the party of Tira and her friends.
“We’ll be on the move for two weeks.”
“Thank you!”
I’m sure Wallace and the rest of the party will be there to protect us.
“So you’re all here!”
And while we were chatting, the headmaster called out to us.
“We’re now on our way to the school tournament! We’re going to come back with a victory this year! Keep cheering for us!”
“”Good luck!””
When the headmaster gave the signal to depart, the students who had gathered near the school building threw out various words of support. As we listened to their voices, we each got on the carriage.
There were more than a dozen carriages on this trip, so it was a very large group. Because in addition to the members of the inter-school battle, there were also healers, noblemen, and servants. By the way, me, Sophie and Shana don’t have any. Do you want to bring a few? I was asked if I wanted to bring servants, but I refrained because I didn’t need one when I was adventuring, and I didn’t need one this time.
This is how I started my first two-week trip to another country. Incidentally, we always stopped at a lodge in town at night to ensure our safety, which is why it took so long. However, even if I had stayed in the open air, it would have taken me a week to reach the neighboring country. It’s almost the same distance as from the city I lived in, to the royal capital…
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
