Aside from the aristocracy, if the students were absent from some of the lectures in a boycott-like manner, one would be tempted to suspect that something was wrong.

　Such uproarious movements had happened even when Ars was in the military. It started in the upper echelons and quickly spread. Before you know it, sparks have been smoldering everywhere.
　However, in Ars's experience, the person who should be ending it moves to end it, and before you know it, it's leveled off. The fire will be extinguished at some point.

　In particular, Ars should not have any involvement in aristocratic society.
　The power of a single mage may indeed exist. But this is not a world where Ars, who is not even an aristocrat, can barge in.

　It's not too late to do this, but I had no intention of going to pick up the chestnuts in the fire myself.

　Ars goes back to the beginning.
　Lately, there have been times when he was driven by emotions, but it still doesn't matter at the root of the matter. If he is driven by his emotions, he just hopes that they stop within his reach.
　I hope that youthful indiscretions are directed at those close to me. Ignoring the outside world, kicking aside the shame and shamelessly wielding their own righteousness.

(Sigh, I'm so tired of the few things the first place can do.

　Isn't it presumptuous for a man to save a man?　I want to ask myself. Even Arus is in this situation with a few people he can reach. I'm sure that wizards are not able to protect the human race by themselves. If they are still held up as protectors, it will probably be for the result of saving an unexpectedly large number of people within their reach.

　That is why humanity is saved on its own. People are being saved by someone else's hands without permission.
　Ars, who had a strangely philosophical impression, admonished himself with a touch of self-mockery.

(What if Ilyce says to me, "You think you are a god?

　If we get into a discussion about being a god or something like that, what we end up with is a worship of demons, a sort of devil worship. Calling them demons or gods probably doesn't make much sense in this situation. It's just an emotionally dominant designation.
　It probably helps that the demon's form is still monstrous. If this had been mixed with a few sacred elements, the number of humanity would have been hopelessly reduced.

(If that happened, though, the military would just hide behind it.)

　Well," said Ars, shifting his gaze to Alice, who had returned to training to change his mind.
　Perhaps sensing this, Loki had approached at close range before he knew it.

''Al, I'm talking about Alice,''
'We expected there would be some movement, but that's not our job. If we get it wrong there, we're going to run into somewhere. If it's a small fire, if it's a fire, someone will move in to put it out.

　Although he didn't dare to state it explicitly, firefighting is not the exclusive province of the military. On the contrary, the military could choose to maintain its non-interference in the country.
　If that is the case........
　The military is not the one that Ars is concerned about getting caught up in its own selfish actions. When it comes to domestic and domestic affairs, the head of state has the jurisdiction.
　It's more frightening to get into conflict with them - one could say that it's more frightening to get involved.

You'll have to put yourself first for the time being. I'm starting to see the issues I have to deal with, and most importantly, my AWR is broken, so I'll have to do something about that.
'Yes. I think that would be more constructive for me, too. I've been misjudging the boundaries under Al's influence as well.

　As if in a statement of determination, Loki stated.
　The line that Ars drew between himself and others had become fuzzy since he came to the academy, and Loki's sense value was also blurred. When they had just become partners, that was exactly what he had judged from Ars's perspective. If anyone approached us carelessly, we would intimidate them, and if they lost the courtesy of their words and other manners, we would eliminate them by force.
　I had clearly decided on this as a mental attitude, but the situation Ars is in has caused me to lose my judgment criteria. Coupled with the changes in Ars, the line is not as clear as it was before.

　That's why Loki might have gone back to the beginning again here.

''For those who are not polite, let's start by breaking their noses, shall we?
'Don't, if you bring up the idea of decorum, I won't be able to stand. I'm all for the spirit of an eye for an eye, but don't create an unintentional start to the struggle.

　It was no longer possible to force Loki to do anything, so Ars asked him not to cherish it without knowing if he was serious or joking.
　I feel like I've seen some of the strife from this world. That's not a righteousness I could have told you, either.

　I thought that their conversation was going to be flowing along like background music, but....

''Eh!　Al, is your AWR broken?　I mean, it's possible to break.

　Stopping her training, Alice said comfortingly, "I'm sorry to hear that.
　The light tone may be because it's Alice, or maybe it's because she's after talking to the female instructor Elaine, but the reaction seems relatively thin.
　It's not a living thing, so the only person who would be sentimental about it would be its owner, Ars. It's impossible to ask others to understand.

　My mind has shifted to building the next AWR, since I consider the AWR itself to be expendable.
　That being said, it was a masterpiece that I collaborated with Budna, so I didn't think anything of it.

''Yeah, the chain was damaged and I need to get a new one. It's not completely useless, but an inconvenience is an inconvenience.

　I told him briefly, because it would be too much trouble to explain in detail what happened when it broke.
　Unusually, Loki didn't interrupt at all.

'The AWR is an auxiliary armament for magic construction, so as long as you can carve a magic formula for any object, the AWR can be sufficient. Be that as it may, if you use it normally, it won't break so much. The technology of magic manipulation also makes a difference, but since it's created for demons, it's quite robust.

　Perhaps it's because the red-haired girl, Tesfia Favell, doesn't get sidetracked, but Ars's mouth spins the words fluently.

　The AWR is not a weapon that is frequently changed among wizards. There are many wizards who have been using it for about ten years without a care in the world. The reason for this is not because they are broken, even if they are replaced with a new one. I'm sure there's a great deal of interest in it because it's just a fad or a novelty.
　In the end, it was common to hear people return to their favorite AWR that they had used for years.

　Be that as it may, AWRs can be broken in battle with demons. The reason why high-ranking mages replace them more frequently is purely because they are using their AWRs too much. At three orders of magnitude or less, AWRs are often superior in terms of performance to begin with. Except for ease of use, any AWR is fully capable of withstanding a battle of a three-digit wizard's level.

　So if it still breaks, the strength of the demon is still a factor. It's highly doubtful that the user will survive.
　The rest of the time, it's a case of excessive magic supply or exceeding the allowable magic power required by AWR. It is commonly referred to as an overheated state, causing various symptoms of deficiencies in the magic formula.

　Loki had moved to Alice's side before he knew it and was listening to the feverish lecture as usual.

''Hoe~''
I see.

　It's easy to distinguish between Alice and Loki based on chemistry alone.
　It's probably impossible to get an image of the AWR breaking without actually experiencing it, so it can't be helped in Alice's case. No matter how roughly she handled the Golden Spear right now, not a single scratch should enter it. The manipulation of magic power, the amount of magic power, and unfortunately, the specs required by the golden spear are too high.

　Probably, only when the power is on par with a double-digit magician can the gold spear show its true potential.

''That's why I had to make my own AWR.
Ooh, I'll help you with that!
..........
'Alice, if you could, I thought it would be faster if you could get out of Al's way by pulling his leg.
'That's terrible, Loki!　I'm sure there's nothing you can do about it - I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that's true?　But I just have to say how I feel there!
Huh, that's the way it is, isn't it? Aren't you being a mockery when you say it knowingly?

　I don't know if Loki meant to be cunning or calculating.
　But.

Then I'll get down to business and help!

　Loki's face paled as he looked at Alice, who was sniffling, and Loki's face paled as he looked at her. Then he slowly turned his despairing face to Ars.
　A stunned face that says "I've done it," as if to say, "I've done it.

　Before Alice's cooperation became a default, Ars couldn't stay quiet either.

'Wait, Alice, let me tell you, there are a lot of troublesome things, not to mention calculations, magical formulas, lost spell combinations and all sorts of other things. You'll never be able to do it if you don't understand it.
You're terrible. You don't have to be so forthright. It's just that once Al starts researching, it's going to be a lot more work for him to take care of himself, isn't it?　It's going to take a lot of work for Loki, so I'll help you with that at least.
'No, I can probably do all the housework better than Alice-san can imagine. Speaking of a heavy burden, I thought it would be different if Alice-san and Fia-san didn't have to clean up their messy rooms.
Hmm?　Hmm?　I cleaned up properly when I left. Sometimes I clean up for Fear too!

　Instead of training, it had turned into the usual lively chatter. Although it's a bit late now, there is a section of the training of the two of them that is a bit neglected, so Ars takes this opportunity to remind himself to look at this one a bit more.

''That's right~''

　When Alice did the dexterous thing of rocking him while holding him, Loki surrendered and corrected her that it was Tesfia who was the cause of the problem. Perhaps there were other things that were causing Loki trouble. His voice sounded like he'd been told to do so.

'That much would help, though. It's tricky when you start talking about helping out to Fear, too.
'Oh, that's right. And I'll be on Fear's watch!
That's going to be a big help.
