76 - Romantic weapons are ready.








 I asked Professor Tia if there were any affordable walls that could be broken without causing offence.



"......" (Professor Tia looks stunned)

"...... huh" (Iris sighs dismissively).



 Did I say something weird?



"I'm sure you can find a rotting old fortress if you look for it. But destroying them won't accomplish what we want, will it?"



"I felt like I wasn't having a good conversation with Hurt, and now I know why. You seem to have misunderstood ...... or misidentified ."



"A castle wall is a wall made of piled up stones and stuff, right? What other interpretation is there?"



The interpretation itself is not wrong. It's just missing (・・・・)."



 Professor Tiah takes over Iris's words.



"Not only city walls, but all major buildings should have protective wards. Not only city walls, but also other major buildings are covered with protective wards, using geological veins and such to reduce the burden on the wizard as much as possible. So they're dozens of times more solid than mere stone walls. That's what I and Iris were talking about.



 Ah, so that's why he said that is so difficult.



"So it's hard to find a place to test fire.



 It might be possible to sneak in the walls of King's Landing, but it would be troublesome in many ways.



 On the other hand, we can't just build it if we don't have it.

 Because I myself don't know what level of defense is <.



"First of all, don't you think it's difficult to destroy them with a single blow?



 You just have to match the normal wall level. That's easy.



"Well, there are places that are affordable, nearby."



 That's Professor Tia. When I asked her where, she replied with a smile.



 --The Olympian ruins.













 So we took the to the entrance of the Olympian Ruins.

 Mel-chan, who has been in a state of absentmindedness for a long time, is entrusted to Mr. Porcos who appears at the right moment.



"Professor Tia, it's a little late for this, but it seems like all the walls here are rotting away..."



"The point is, if it has the same level of strength, it can be verified, right? So, look. I'll take that building, you know, out of the way."



 The palace-like building at the entrance to the ruins is indeed neat. It must be protected by some kind of power.



"First, try using the weapon that killed the Huge Rock Eater. You'll get a rough idea of its strength."



 You're going to try it with a magic gun first? But that thing can adjust its power and shoot at a higher power than before.

 I'd say it's about the same as that time.



 I raise the gun and fire without thinking too much.



 A large energy projectile hits right next to the entrance to the palace. A crack appears in the smooth wall.



"Oh, it's hard!"



"...... That weapon is pretty cool too. It shouldn't even get a scratch from an ordinary attack."



 Oh, really? Hmmm, but at the maximum power of a magic gun, it could blow up a whole building. I'm not going to tell you.



"Then let's get to work. By the way, don't destroy the entrance, okay? I'm afraid the dean will give me a hard time about it."

 I wonder if these ruins are used for graduation exams. That was a bad idea.



 Put on the fake holy armor.

 You could have just shot him without any tricks, but that would have been too tasteless.



 My sister's excitement stimulated my service spirit, so I added a few functions.



<...... start(Anfang)>>



"Did he say something?



 Wow, his eyes are really sparkling.



 The robot arm moved and fixed a stake from its back to the base of its arm.



>.



"All right, let's go!"



<>.



 I kicked the earth and ran in a straight line to the palace-like building. I squeeze the arm with the pedestal, and launch my fist into the wall a short distance away from the entrance.



 Just before I hit the wall, a circular magic circle appeared, and just as my fist met the circle.



 The moment his fist meets the wall, the stakes fly out and smash the wall with a loud roar. A huge hole of nearly five meters opens up.



 Yes, isn't it a good performance?



What do you think?



"That's what I'm talking about, brother!"



 When I turned around, I saw Charu jumping up and down.



 I'm glad he's happy. And it's powerful enough. Maybe I should increase the power a little more.

 Maybe we could make it spit out a sassy line at the moment of attack? Oh, but will the sound of destruction drown it out?



 When I came back to the others, I thought to myself...



"I didn't realize it was really a single blow that crushed it. ......"




"That thing is as good as or better than the royal palace guard. ......?"

"I don't understand the logic behind inanimate objects talking to each other. ......"



 Iris, Professor Tia, and Riza all seem to be overcome with surprise. They could have been a little more excited.



"At any rate, the power is not a problem, is it, Professor Tia?"



"If it's not good enough, it's more than the of the Princess Flash. By the way, let me ask you something."



What is it?



"Why did you build in a mechanism for ejection and then hit me at zero distance?"



 Oh, no.

 I turned my body to the building and extended my arm. I shoot out a stake. A big hole opens up near the wall I just broke, but it's smaller than before, about two meters.



"You can also use it as a medium- to long-range flying tool like this. It is designed so that its power decreases as the distance increases.



 Zero distance is required for maximum power.



"You could make it equally powerful regardless of distance, or you could make it more powerful the further away you are from it. The reason they didn't do that is .................. romance."



 After all, he knows what he's doing. The closer you get, the more powerful. It's more exciting when there's a limit like that.



 Well, now I've completed my task to stay at the institute.



"We'll have to pick a name right away. Oh, what a nice name!



 I'll leave that one up to Char.



Sorry, I forgot something. I'll be back in a minute.



 I left everyone behind and ran for the door.



"Hmm? Lost and found is so sticky. I'm not here for--"



"If you know what you're doing, take your time!"



 Professor Tia cowered her shoulders as if she had guessed something. He is useful in many ways. So I'll get on with my business.
