The class is over and the students are dismissed.
　Learning new techniques and moving on to the next stage.
　All had an excited or satisfied look on their faces.

　I look away. Suddenly, I hear a clanging sound from the side.
　I turn around and there is a grown woman.
　She had long hair and was tall, and she looked like a calm, collected adult.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness,
"You've just shot a bolt of crossbow ......
"My name is Kara Faith, Your Highness.

　The magic school's mistress, Kara, bowed to me reverently. Then.

　Rattle rattle.

　The arrow she had picked up and was holding, the arrowhead crushed in her arms and fell to the ground with a crash.

Sorry, I'll pick it up right away.

　Kara then crouched down and picked up the arrow again and held it in her arms.
　Then she stood up and, once again, she

Sorry for the disturbance, excuse me.

　And bowed to me to walk away.

　Rattle rattle.

　The arrow spilled out of his arm again and fell to the ground.

......
"......

　A delicate air flowed.

"I'm not going to go on. I have shown you disgrace not once, but twice!

　A series of mistakes made Kara start to panic, her eyes are giddy.
　The crisp, tall and beautiful air she had been in a moment ago was gone, and she was gone without a trace.

Calm down, okay?

　In her haste to pick up the arrow properly, I put it together and magically lifted it up.
　It's too heavy for the muscles of a nine-year-old, but with magic, this amount is nothing to sneeze at.
　I lift it effortlessly and ask her.

Where do I put it?
"Oh no!　We can't let Your Highness do this.
I'll just go over there for now.

　I went through Kara's fearfulness and went to the Noh with the arrows in my hand.
　Quite a few arrows had already been collected and piled up next to the Noh.

　I piled the arrows I'd brought with me on top of the pile.
　Kara bowed as she chased after me.

Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
I was watching the class just now.

　Kara, who had calmed down from her panic, was once again wearing the air of a calm, collected, mature woman.

"You're dealing with both sides, or rather, three hundred of your finest students at the same time. We have to admit, Your Highness is very impressive.
Thank you.
This one, on the other hand, is ......

　Kara looked at the Noh with a pained look on her face.
　I looked at it, and I noticed that a part of the Noh was broken.

"Oh, it's broken. I wasn't out of ammunition.
I was getting close to the number of arrows, and at the same time, I had never fired in a row this long in my training, so my endurance could not keep up.
"I see.
If we don't fix it today, it will interfere with the students' practice. The underclassmen will use it.
I see. Then I'll fix it.
"Huh?　No, that would be too much trouble for His Highness.
I'm an honorary principal and teacher, so I have to put my students first.
"Your Highness ......

　Kara looks at me with a mixture of surprise and excitement.

'Oh, but ......'
What's up?

　Kara was almost convinced that I would do it, but again she had difficulty.

"I know a lot about Your Highness. I've heard rumors of you outside the Academy.
"Haha. ......
It's rumored that everything is more powerful when His Highness is involved, including this class.
I didn't know that was what they thought.
"This Noh is for training students, so if it becomes more powerful, it will be ......
That's what you're worried about. It's okay, I know. I'm not going to do anything to make you more powerful.
Yes, yes. Then go to .......

　Once Kara was convinced, I faced the broken crossbow.

　I'm going to check the broken part first. This level of damage should be easy to fix.
　I saw a pile of training arrows.


　Although there are quite a few of them, this kind of number is not even close to enough for training.

　In order to train parallel magic barriers, you need to be able to strike them longer and longer.

　A longer strike, a moderately less powerful strike.
　The wise man's stone, which I carry with me at all times, tells me that I have something that fulfills these two requirements.

　　　　　The stone.

I could.

　The day is almost over when I finished modifying the Noh.
　The students will be using it tomorrow, so I used magic to fix it with a super express.
　You're going to be able to have a great time.

"Wow, it was repaired in an instant: ......
So, Kara, can you take a look at it to see if it's healing properly?
I understand.

　Kara took the arrow and tried to nock it to the crossbow.

"Wait, I don't need the arrows.
"Huh?
Pull the string and set it empty.
"Will it be like this--eh!

　amazed Kara.
　As she pulled and set the bowstring of the Noh, the Noh itself sucked up dirt from the ground.
　The dirt is then gradually transformed into multiple arrows, which are set on the strings ready to be fired.

What is this?
"Try it.
"Yes, yes

　Puzzled, Kara released the bolt as she was told.
　Plucked by the string, the earthen arrows flew together.
　The earthen arrows stabbed into the ground in the distance in a parabolic pattern no different than wooden arrows.
　Immediately afterwards, the arrows disintegrated and returned to the earth as the original soil.

Yeah, I guess it worked.
"Your highness, this, this?
As you can see, it is designed to automatically generate arrows from the soil when you set it. As long as there's dirt around, you won't run out of bullets. As you can see, it's so fragile that it returns to the ground as soon as it hits the target. However, it keeps its shape as it flies, so if you hit it without a barrier, it would be pretty painful.
"......
It's perfect for parallel barrier training.
"......

　I'll explain, but I notice that Kara is still raving about it.

What's the matter with you?　Was this bad?
"No, it's not!

　Kara buzzed around with her hands crossed in a hurry - gosh!

　In the heat of the moment, I hit my hand against a pile of wooden arrows and scream in agony.
　I wonder if it is ...... the constitution of a screw-up that is triggered by panic.

　Carla held back her teary eyes and said to me, "No, it's not.

It's not. I thought it was great.
Yeah?
"......
"What's up again?　This time you stare at the IJN with a dull face. If you see something wrong, don't be afraid to tell me, your students' studies are the top priority.
"No, it's not, it's just ......
"Just?
I just thought, "If the rumor is true and there's a deputy emperor who can do ...... anything like this, we're all going to be useless and unemployed sooner or later. That's all I can think of.
...... That's troubling.

　That's not my intention.
　I'll try not to be.
