The Rosan Lira Magical Academy is located in the royal capital.
　So I rode in a carriage and stepped into the royal capital the day before the entrance exam.

''So this is the royal capital........''

　This is indeed the most prosperous royal city in the country.
　It's a far cry from the village where I was born and raised.

　It is overflowing with people.
　I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find one.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than that.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

　For example, after the magical revolution in their previous lives, they used Quick Move, even if it was just for a short run.
　In addition, people in the professions of carrying heavy loads and building houses also used a body strengthening spell called Rise Power.

　It's not that they don't seem to be using it here.
　Apparently, the decline of magic technology was not only in that village.

　Well, reading books and such, that's pretty much what I expected.

　When I was walking around the royal capital to find the inn where I'll be staying today.


No, stop!


　I heard a high-pitched female voice say.

　Apparently it was emanating from an alleyway a short distance away.

'What?'

　I used my detection magic to assess the situation in the alley.

　One woman ... and three more men surrounded it.
　The woman is scared, or perhaps she is just screaming.

　I can feel the magic from the woman.
　If you use magic, I think you can get out of your predicament........

　But there's no point in doing this here.
　I could have left it alone, but it wouldn't feel good to hear the news of 'one of the women was killed' afterwards because of it.


' "Hey,


　I go into the alley and call out to them.

'What?　What about you?
You want to challenge us on something?
We're the three Allanites who can't stop crying!

　It's just as I figured out with my detection magic.
　A dumb-looking man is surrounding one girl.
　The man, who said they were the three Allan's, gave me a sharp look when he saw me.

'I don't see them as just picking up girls. Even if it is a pick-up, it's too forced. That girl doesn't like it.

　As I said that, I looked at them.

　...that tallest guy. He seems to be working out reasonably well. Compared to the other guys, the way the muscles are built up is different.
　But that's a very inefficient way to train. You can't even break a rock with that kind of training.

　The most important thing to watch out for is that little guy.
　He looks weak, but he has a small sword in his pocket.
　So, "What? That's what I'm talking about.

"Hmph...!　This girl over here tried to start a fight. We were walking around and she hit me in the shoulder. She didn't even apologize.

　The men smirked and smiled.

'Ugh, lie!　I was just walking normally and these people stopped me... and they brought me into this place!

　The woman leans forward and appeals to him.

　I look closely at her ... she's probably about my age, right?
　They are cute, chestnut-haired girls.
　I don't know if these guys were just picking up girls or if they were trying to work violence. From the looks of it, though, it's the latter.　
　But the dainty looking girl clearly didn't like it.

''You........!　Don't talk like that!

　The man's right hand moved.
　His fist is clenched. It seems that he is trying to swing down on the woman.


　--You can't hit a woman, can you?


　I activated a quick-move spell and ran to the guy in a flash.

'Hey. I told you to stop him.

　I grab the guy's wrist and make a sound.

'Huh?　You, when did this happen?

　Apparently he couldn't follow it with his eyes.

'Whoa!'

　I twisted the confused guy's wrist as it was and slammed it into the hard ground.

'You!　What the hell are you doing?
"You've got some serious balls trying to pick a fight with the three Allan's!

　Oh, shut up.
　It's deafening.

　They're coming at us en masse.
　These guys are moving too fast. The only thing worse than this is Cyril in the village.

　It's a waste of time to use attack magic on them.
　I'm sure that Quick Move, the magic that makes you move faster, will be enough.

''Whoa, whoa!　Take that!　--Whoa!

　The guy raised his fist in the air, and then he paid off his leg.
　The man slammed his head down hard from the ground and then lost consciousness.

''You!　I'll avenge my brother!

　A man raises his right fist and comes at you.
　But his aim is in his left hand, which he has in his pocket.
　He's going to take out his stiletto from there and tear my throat out.

'You're late,'

　I whisper to myself.

　Two seconds for him to swing his right fist down.
　Then 0.5 seconds for him to take out his left hand and hold it against my throat.
　I did one absent stretch before I got behind him with plenty of time to spare.

'I got it!　........Huh?
You're looking at an afterimage of me?

　In addition, I took up that guy's little sword and flicked the blade against his cheek.

''Ah, ah........''
You need to work out more. I can teach you if you want.　My tuition is expensive, though.
Tee-hee!

　The man turned around and tried to body-punch me.
　I shifted my position slightly, and the man who was going to do the body bump went straight into the wall of the building.

"Don't you ever mess with that woman again,
'Whoa!　What the hell?

　I approach from behind the guy who is in pain and activate the Aerial Remover.
　The force of the wind causes the man's body to rise up into the air in a fluffy manner.

Guffaw!

　He slammed into the ground.
　The man who couldn't even get a good passive strike, just passed out.

''Is this what the level of the royal city is like?''

　Pang, pang, pang.

　Well, it looks like these guys weren't wizards.
　They're just punks.
　If you go to the magic academy, I bet you'll see something of a higher level.

''Oh, um!''

　I put my hand on my chin and was approached by the woman from earlier who was thinking about that.

'Thank you!　That was very cool!

　The woman approached and squeezed both my hands as she looked up at me.

　I thought absently.
　Cute..........
