"Two Killing Jabs, huh?

About ten minutes after we left the city of Merkelus.
I cast a detection spell, and for the first time, a demon appeared that could be a threat to the two party members.

The Killing Jab is a marsupial demon, famous for its unusually high punching power.
If I, or even Ilia or Macea, were to be hit by it, concussion would be inevitable.

However, while the Killing Jab is a powerful melee attack, it has no means of countering attacks from afar.

In other words, you can easily defeat it from ...... by stabbing it from here with a ruyi-stick.

"No obstacles between you and the target.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

(Extend.)

The Killing Jab was so far away that it could only be seen as a dot, but ...... I was able to kill both Killing Jabs with two thrusts without difficulty.

I'll use the detect magic again to make sure.
Yeah, there's no more demons around.
I guess we're safe for a while.

As I was thinking that .......

That ...... wasn't Valius?

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I heard such a voice from the ground, so I decided to lower the altitude of the myotome cloud.

In the meantime, there was a Killing Jab response in the detection magic, so I killed it.

When I said that, ......2 they looked at each other.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

As for the ...... reach, I would simply say that it reached the moon because it was a ruyi-bou.
There is no reason why you can reach the moon and not reach an enemy within visual range.

With this in mind, I told them.

I'm going to go collect the body of Killing Jab. I've already confirmed that there are no demons in the area, so you two can continue on your way without worry.

After saying this, I increased the speed of the myotrope and went to collect Killing Jab's body.

I'm going to give Killing Jab's body to you two.
The more I can ingratiate myself with them, the lower the hurdle for them to reveal me as Tamer.



When I came back from retrieving the body, I took Killing Jab's body out of the storage spell.

"You two are free to use this for cash or whatever you want.

I said this to them, but ...... for some reason their expressions remained frozen.

As I wondered what was going on, ......2 they started shouting.

You can fly, and you can fly fast.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

...... That's where you're coming from.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... Here you go.

Oh ...... Oh. Ilaria, can you store this?

"Well, I think I can manage to fit this in .......

After such an exchange, Ailia stored the two corpses in the storage spell, and the matter was settled.

So let's keep going.

I raised the altitude of the myotrope.



After a while, I heard two people talking from the ground.

"Oh. I'm not sure how I got this, but the ...... Killing Jab was originally a credit to Valius, right?

"Speaking of which!　I got it before I knew it while I was surprised by the speed of some flying clouds. ...... Should I return it?

Well, I wonder what he's talking about.
There are no demons in the world right now, so I guess I'll go ahead with my ...... exam prep.

I took out my basic magic theory textbook and started looking through the end-of-chapter questions in chapter 3.



I'll be back.



As the sun went down, we decided to find a suitable place to camp and have dinner.
The meal was taken out from the cafeteria of the elite academy.
Since we were going to such great lengths, we decided to buy a drink for Ailia and Maisia as well.

In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at our own website.
You can buy more food for a fee next time you drop by the school.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. It tastes so smart!

"...... Don't worry about it, Mr. Valius. "Never mind, Miss Valius, you're always giving me random feedback.

Both of them are enjoying their food.
I'm glad you like it.

While we were eating, relieved, ...... Ailia suddenly asked me something like this.

I'm not sure if you're a student of ...... Mr. Valius, right?　Are you sure you don't need to attend any of the ...... classes?

I nodded in reply and held up my right thumb.
Then, after swallowing what was left in my mouth, I replied.

As long as you study for your exams, you'll get credit. You can graduate without worrying about that.

I pulled out a few textbooks from my storage spell and showed them to them.

"Wow, ...... that's a tough one .......

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. That's great!

...... Maisia. I think you're special in this regard, Valius.

After the two returned the textbook, ...... I finally decided to get down to business.

In fact, I have a favor to ask the two of you regarding tomorrow's attack on Hercules.

"Oh.


What is it?

"It's .......

I broke off at this point and sent a reminder to the Caucasus.

"Caucasus, I want you to return to your original size and come back here.

As soon as I told him that, the Caucasus returned to its original size of about a meter and a half and flew close to me.

"Whoa!　Don't tell me you're not ...... from Hercules, Caucasus?　What? Why?

"What?

The sight of the Caucasus startled Ms. Macea, and Ms. Ailia hid behind Ms. Macea.

Please calm down!　The Caucasus is my cousin!

I'm sure you'll understand.　I thought ...... Valius was a wise man?

Didn't wise men also have the ability to ...... tame?

I'm sure that's the kind of reaction you get when you say "squire".
But it doesn't seem like he's disappointed or anything. Let's keep going.

"Yes. I usually spend my time pretending to be a sage, but ...... I'm really a tamer.

"Tamer ......

So, my wish is that ...... you leave it to the Caucasus to actually defeat Hercules!　This is the reason why I accepted this request, to let the two animals to settle their confrontation.

This is why I accepted this request. ...... Caucasus reacted before anyone else.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

...... This might be the first time I've ever seen a Caucasian react so devastatingly.

I know. I've never told you that before. ...... By the way, I'm in the process of telling these two not to interfere with your fight. Just be quiet for a minute.

"Ah ...... ah.

The Caucasus backed down.
At about the same time, Masia asked me a question.

"So we're supposed to stay out of this?

Yes. At least until one of us surrenders.

Well, it's almost impossible for the Caucasus to give up.

We're fine. In fact, I've been wondering from the beginning if we'd be of any use against ...... Hercules, if I may say so. You know, Ilaria?

...... I'm fine with ...... too. ......

...... That's it.
The main concern of this defeat has been resolved.

So, it's late, let's go to bed. ...... Oh, the other follower, Belzebub, will take care of the guards, so you can sleep soundly tonight.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I decided to give a brief explanation of the situation, since it might get complicated.

Not only the Caucasus, but also Belzebub ...... is too gorgeous, isn't it?

This is the ...... elite quality .......

...... I feel that Ailia's comments are becoming more like Maisia's.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it as bedding.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.



The next morning.



The next morning.

The next morning, I was eating breakfast in the cafeteria at the Academy of Fine Arts, and as I was finishing ......, Hercules flew in.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that the Caucasus was sending out threatening magic first thing in the morning, ...... to attract Hercules.

Thank you for talking so quickly.
