An explosive fire spread across the arena.
　A large pillar of fire rose up.
　The [Warding] chattered and trembled, and a hot wind blew through us.

　Shaking the hair and clothes of each of us.
　However, none of us turned away from it.
　We stared at the smoke and blackened earth.

'Did you do it?'

　It was Cecil who muttered.
　But his throat immediately tightened.
　I narrowed my eyes too.

　The fourfold activation of advanced magic.
　The students of our school who should have received it in various ways were safe.
　Iolada's [Heavy Armor Iron Horseman].
　Even the advanced magic of quadruple activation surpassed them.

　Moreover--.

''Thank you, Io.

　Even the canal, which is some distance away, has been strung up [Heavy Iron Horseman] to protect it.
　The basic [Warrior (Warrior)] magic is to protect you.
　It's difficult to fly them to remote areas.
　The only thing that makes it possible is the monstrous magic output.

''Hmph........''

　Iolada let out a breath of relief.

　But the fight wasn't over.
　It should have been the strongest move for Lyna.
　Even so, the battle spirit of the 'Purgatory Fire Wheel' did not wane.
　In fact, it seemed to be increasing.

　The uniform is blue.
　But the chairman was right, the flame is still burning.

　I kick the ground with a thump.
　I closed the distance from the [Mage (Wizard)]'s Lyna.
　What it means........
　Probably the magic power ran out.
　He had been firing advanced magic that many times in a row.
　That's what happens if you normally train (I'd like to see you).

　An attack that was close to a suicide attack.
　Even so, Linna's eyes were shining as if she was convinced of victory.

　But--.

　In a moment, her body wobbles.
　Before he had time to adjust his stance, he fell to the ground.
　Blood flowed from his temples.
　When she looked up, even from a distance, she could see Lyna gasp for breath.

　Nine magical gems floated around her.
　The magic power that was contained in them was glittering and shining.
　They caught Lyna like a hound dog.

　Hou..........

　I'm impressed.

　Two..........
　No, three.
　There's magic locked up in the magical gems.

　【Tracking】 of a 【Blacksmith】.
　A mage's [levitation].
　Furthermore, each of them are given the attributes of fire, water, ice, lightning, thunder, wind, earth, light, darkness, and recovery--each of which is given.

　Use 【Tracking】 to detect enemies.
　Use levitation to deal with all types of terrain.
　Attacks by attribute magic.

　It was no longer the little adventurers.

　Lyna looks back.
　A girl smaller than herself was standing there.
　The one who had a somewhat emotionally thin face turned to her was the 'Jewel Master' Canal.

''Do you still want to?''

　He tilts his head back and asks.

　There was no emotion or emotion in it.
　It was a terribly mechanical voice.

　Lyna clicks her tongue.

'I'm sorry, guys,'

　I was gulped down.

　The winner comes forward.
　A hand went up in our school's direction.
　In that moment, we would advance to the finals for the 23rd year in a row.
　At the same time, our opponents had been decided.

"Strong.........

He's strong.

Yes....

　Rowan, Cecil and Sarasa gulped.
　They were quite shocked.
　They couldn't get up from the bleachers for a while, and stared at the game field where the firefighting operation was taking place, stunned.

''The magic of this person called Iolada is amazing, but what is that magical gem.......''

It was like a will-o'-the-wisp.

　Cecil and Sarasa each marveled at it.
　It was Chairman Vael who answered their questions.

''Her name is Canal Doc Wendeau. As her nickname 'The Jewel Master' suggests, she is a genius in the study of magical gems. She was the first person in the world to prove that a magical gemstone can be filled with 3 different types of magic, and she was awarded the title of 'Doctor (Doc)' at the age of 12. He is truly the Qilin child of the magical jewelry world.

　Hmm?

　I was a bit curious.

''Is it really so amazing to put three magic in a magical gemstone?''

'What?　Oh, of course. They thought I could only put two in there until now...

Well..... But I could put five in there....


　I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in, and I'm going to be in!


　My friends shouted.
　It's not really a surprise, though.
　We used to do it all the time as a matter of course.

'I see. Maybe your brother can do it. I've heard before that you've refined a 99% pure grade demonic gemstone before.

　That's right.
　The magic that can be put into a magical gemstone is based on the pure equality I explained before.
　The higher the purity level, the more magic it can hold.

　But this is the era where 99% pure magic jewelry is said to be legendary.
　It's true that if you can put 3 magic in it, it's probably amazing.
　As for me, I could only let out a sigh at the fact that even such technology was out of date.

''Like the 'Jewelers', but what about that [Heavy Armored Iron Horseman]?'''

That's not a problem, Mr. Chairman.

　I replied simply.

　Chairman Vael's expression softened somewhat.

'It's you. I'm sure you'll break it again in a ridiculous way, but don't let your guard down. .... yes. Do you know about Iolada's background?

"My background...

Her name is Iolada Dee Dillivan. Said to be of a brave family.

　A lineage of brave men?

　No, wait a minute.
　Nowadays, the term "brave" would refer to me.
　Well, that's funny.
　I don't have children.
　I was an orphan, and this is a time of war.
　I don't think my parents are still alive.
　And I'm the only person with any blood in my family.

　No, wait.

　Dillivan....
　I think I've heard of this before.

　As I recall, the guy who was pestering me for an apprenticeship had such a name, didn't he?

　And that guy--.

　You're calling yourself a brave man, even though you're not very strong?
　The family lineage?

　Good grief.....
　It's like the first generation of Villa Amst.
　What's the deal with my existence being used as a propaganda tool for other humans inexplicably?

　Well, okay....

　Just show them who's the brave one.
　Show them which one is the real brave one.
