"Yes, I'm done."

　I lay in the garden, gasping for breath.

　My brother Ars was standing by my side.

　In the end, I couldn't even win a single game against Ars.

"Good job, Alphonse."

"Oh, thank you, Brother Ars."

"Well, now that you're tired, let's talk about the current mock battle. There's one thing you're missing, Alphonse.

"What?"

Experience. Your sword is too clean. You're good at stringing together the moves you're supposed to make, but you're also very easy to read. In a real battle, the scariest thing is that you never know what your opponent will do.

"I see. I've been training so much in physical manipulation that I never thought about that.

"Well, that's true, isn't it? That's what Ai had us train for. But if we're talking about real combat, that's what you're missing. I didn't sense any killing intent at all."

"Killing spirit?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. When two people cut each other with swords pointed at each other, it means they're killing each other. They're taking each other's lives. Even if it's a mock battle. But I didn't feel any of that killing spirit from you. That means you're not afraid."

"...... my sword is not afraid."

"Yeah. In a real battle, even if you can win only once in a hundred times in a mock battle, you have a big advantage if you inflict a big wound on your opponent first. In order to win that one time, you have to give your all and use all your strength to get involved in the fight. Those who have such experience have a hidden killer spirit even in a mock battle. If you show even the slightest opening, they will bite you. And such opponents are hard to deal with. One moment of carelessness can be fatal.

　When I hear this, I look back at myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that I had some things in mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if I had been challenging to the mock battle with the intention of winning against my brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Somewhere along the way, I must have thought I was no match for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he says that's not enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no fear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why it's so easy for them to read your moves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They can handle it calmly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how it was when he was having mock fights with other people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that I felt his fights with other people were very serious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is, to the point of being frightening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He challenged his opponents with all his strength without fear of getting hurt, and he never relaxed just because he was training.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why I admired them so much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wanted to be like them.

"Well, it's amazing that you can do that much at Alphonse's age. I never dreamed that he would be this strong, so I was really surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I want to be like you guys.

"Hmmm. Maybe it's a good thing that I was sent to study in Briaria, where there are people my age who are stronger than I am. He's motivated and energetic. That's good. Then why don't you go to the labyrinth you were talking about?　You can fight demons called "magic soldiers" or something like that. Ai, how strong are these demonic soldiers?　Do you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can give you information from hearsay if you like. It is said that there are several types of magic-armor soldiers, each with different strength. They are classified as knight class, baron class, viscount class, count class, and so on, in the sense that they have strength corresponding to their rank in the Brillia Magistracy. Generally, it is known that those who can defeat a count-class magic-armor soldier by themselves are selected as knights of the Kingsguard and so on.

　There is no doubt that Ai is right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a course in the House of Lords that explained this.

　The labyrinth where the study of magic circles used to be conducted, managed by the royal family of the Brillia Mage Kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are demons of various strength to intercept those who enter the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that the closer one gets to the labyrinth core at the end of the labyrinth, the more powerful the demons become.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, students who belong to the House of Lords, or knights and nobles who have grown up, stay in the labyrinth to train and defeat the demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why students are allowed to enter the labyrinths with dangerous monsters is that they can only go as deep as they are capable of going, and they do not face opponents who are too strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The labyrinth is indeed a perfect place to gain experience in a real battle while developing one's ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow. That's interesting. I wonder if I can enter this labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's a no-no, isn't it?　You don't belong to the House of Lords, and you're a king of another country, aren't you, Brother Ars?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No? I wanted to see what the labyrinthine nucleus there is like. Maybe I'll ask my sister Charles. I'm sure we'll be able to get some help from her if we ask her. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Ars was mumbling something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if he will give us permission.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, never mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike my brother Ars, I am a student of the House of Lords as an exchange student.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should be qualified to enter the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll visit the labyrinth in the near future so that I can gain experience in actual battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought to myself as I looked at Ars who returned to the house looking for Charles.
