"Well done, Mr. Alphonse."

"Thank you, Ai. But I could have won if you hadn't been watching me. You've been aiming your magic gun at me from behind and distracting the Iron Knight, haven't you?

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

"Yes. I had to be ready to fire at any moment."

"I think it might have disturbed him too. Thanks for saving my life.

　I talk to Ai while looking at the iron armor lying on the ground.

　Ai compliments me on my fight, but I don't think I fought this battle alone.

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

　Neither do I.

　When there were three bronze knights in the fight, my attention was drawn to the long-range attackers behind me.

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

　In this sense, the same must be true for the magic-armored soldiers.

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

　But that is not necessarily a bad thing.

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

　I mean, there is no rule that says that you have to deal with the magic-armed soldiers who appear in the labyrinth completely alone.

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

　And above all, I'm genuinely happy that I was able to beat the Iron Knight.

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

　Unlike the bronze knight, the iron knight is clearly skilled.

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

　It was mentioned in the lecture at the House of Lords.

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

　I am sure that the guy who just attacked us was not an amateur with a sword.

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

　The fact that I was able to beat such an opponent makes me realize that I am getting stronger.

"But that doesn't mean he's a real baron, does it?"

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

"Yes, that's right. It seems that the evaluation of the iron-type magic-armor soldiers called "baron class" in Brillia comes with the condition that they have a shield. It seems that they are recognized as equivalent to baron-class abilities only when they defeat individuals who fight with swords and spears while holding shields.

"Shield. Does it really make that much difference?

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

"It is true that a skilled opponent with a shield is often a greater threat than one with only a weapon. Compared to the previous individual who only carries a sword, he would be a much stronger opponent.

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

　That's the way it is.

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

　Actually, I haven't really had many mock battles with shielded opponents before.

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

　Ai has basically never used a shield, and neither have Ars and Byte.

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

　So I don't really know how much difference there is when the same opponent has a shield.

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

　Maybe I should look for ...... shield holders too?

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

　From what you just said, I know that I am not completely inadequate against the Iron Knight.

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

　Then, I might be able to challenge a shield-bearer, which is a higher rank.

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

　Well, before that, there might be iron knights with other weapons such as spears and axes.

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

　Let's just look around a little more, hoping to find a shield-bearer.

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

　With this thought in mind, I decided to strengthen my senses again and look around for the magical armored soldiers in the vicinity.

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

　I was surprised to find that the number of people in the vicinity of the place was not as large as I had expected.

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

"There he is. You have a shield."

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

"How can I help you?　Shall we attack the first shield-bearer with a magic gun first?"

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

"No. No. I'll get it. I'll get it. If you feel in danger, give me your hand.

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

Yes, sir. Please be careful.

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

"Yes, thank you."

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

　After my first encounter with the Iron Knight, I fought several more times against the magic-armored soldiers.

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

　Sometimes it was iron knights with other weapons, sometimes it was bronze knights with three of them at the same time.

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

　But even against them, we have succeeded in winning the battles.

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

　And while I was walking around the labyrinth, keeping the same pace, I was thinking that it was time to take a break.

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

　Finally, I found the Iron Knight with the shield I was looking for.

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

　The iron knight was walking in the light of the magical equipment hanging on the wall for illumination.

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

　His body had the same armor that I had seen several times before.

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

　However, there is a big difference at a glance.

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

　It was a large shield in his left hand.

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

　It's ...... huge.

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

　I had thought that he had a smaller shield.

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

　I had imagined that he had a smaller shield.

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

　But in fact, it seems to be quite different.

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

　He was holding a rather large shield, rectangular in shape.

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

　It was so large that it seemed to cover half of his armor when he held it up.

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

　I wonder if he could hide most of his body if he crouched down with the shield in his hands, keeping his center of gravity low.

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

　And from the looks of it, it seems to have a certain thickness.

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

　At least thicker than the steel plates of armor.

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

　The Iron Knight was wandering around the labyrinth with such a large and thick shield.

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

　Isn't it heavy?

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

　I bet it's not heavy.

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

　I wonder if it is indeed a demon in the labyrinth.

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

　Normally, just walking around in heavy metal armor would be quite tiring.

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

　However, due to his characteristic as a magic-armored soldier, even though he is wearing armor and carrying a large shield, his gait is not unsteady.

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

　He must have a tireless body.

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

　In that sense, it is not possible to aim at them when they are not alert.

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

　It makes no sense, and I have no intention of doing so in the first place.

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

　We will fight head-on and win as we have always done.

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

　With that in mind, I ran out in front of the shield-bearer.
