“Mr. Wolford. Can I ask you a question?” (Gastolle)
“Go ahead.” (Shin)
As expected, Tony and Miranda could not teach Director Gastolle, so I was teaching him.
The director asked me a question.
“How did you get this much in such a short period of time?” (Gastolle)
“That’s a secret.” (Shin)
That’s a question I can’t answer out of the blue.
“Can’t you tell me?” (Gastolle)
“No, my grandmother is very strict about it.” (Shin)
“Oh, I see. Then I won’t ask. I would rather you forget the question.” (Gastolle)
Not only the head of the magic division but also the head of the knighthood.
“Hey, can I ask you another question? How scary is your grandma?” (Gastolle)
“I don’t know if I can answer that one either…” (Shin)
“No, it’s not against the Imam’s wishes! The question is about the other country where we will be training after tomorrow.” (Gastolle)
“Other countries?” (Shin)
“Mm. Can we apply the same technique to the weapons of other countries that we apply to the swords of our own Order?” (Gastolle)
“Is this possible?” (Gastolle)
“Yes, it is possible.” (Shin)
“… You’re really great, you know.” (Gastolle)
“No, I’m not.” (Shin)
The factor that made it possible to grant a large number of them in this short period of time.
The method, which was inspired by Massita’s story, is…
The creation of a transcription machine.
The first step was to transfer the image of “ultrasonic vibration” onto a steel plate, which was easy to transfer.
Then, to match the plate, another steel plate with the word “concept transcription” is connected to it with a demonized spider thread with the word “connection”.
It is then pressed against the sword while activating the magical tool.
…A vibrating sword is created.
This is a unique method of making a magical tool that does not directly write or engrave letters, but rather writes letters with the magic power of an image and grants them to the object to which they are to be granted.
When I made that granting transcription machine, Grandma was the most astonished she had ever been.
And I remember her telling me in the shape of a demon not to talk about it, and to keep this absolutely confidential.
It’s still terrifying… to remember now.
However, it was a tool that I planned to dispose of once the battle with this demon was over, even without being told to do so by my grandma.
After all, it is a magical tool that “anyone” can mass-produce a sword that can easily cut iron.
I have created a magical tool that embodies what grandma was most concerned about.
But the fact is that if we don’t make this, we won’t be able to make it in time for training.
I managed to get grandma’s approval to dispose of it immediately after the war.
When we are going to give this sword to another country, we are supposed to put up a tent and stand guard, and give it to them in that tent.
I can’t be seen by anyone.
Considering this, I can honestly say that I can only participate in the first training session at Earlshide.
The rest of the time, I’ll need Tony and Miranda to do their best.
“Oh, and by the looks of things earlier, I wonder if Chris will be an asset too?”
“Anyway, my main task this time is to get enough vibrating swords for each country’s knight corps.” (Shin)
“I have asked each country to prepare swords with the thinnest blades possible, so I should be able to get them ready.”
“Yes, we can prepare the swords. We will also need to make a magical tool with the same effect as the transcription machine, which is to “cancel the grant.”
It’s really a variety of Massita’s knowledge.
To be honest, the biggest problem in this operation was the mass production of the vibrating sword itself.
Now that we are on the verge of that, I actually have one more thing I need to think about.
That is…
“By the way, Mr. Wolford, I’d like to change the subject…” (Gastolle)
“What is it?” (Shin)
“Do you think we can beat… Strom?” (Gastolle)
That’s exactly what I have to think about now.
“’Well… what do you think? We were evenly matched when we went at it in the Guard’s stuffing station before…” (Shin)
“Frankly… it’s a bitter pill to swallow for us adults to have to leave the fate of the world in the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy.” (Gastolle)
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the world is now in the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy.
“But you are the only one who has a chance to beat Strom in this world today. Please… do your best.” (Gastolle)
Director Gastolle squeezes my hand tightly.
“Sir, I know. If we lose this, the world will really be destroyed, not figuratively. I will not let that happen.” (Shin)
There are no absolutes in the game.
But I dared to use it.
“I will definitely win.” (Shin)
“I see.” (Gastolle)
That was all Director Gastolle said, and he immediately went into training with his vibrating sword.
I said that half-heartedly, but how could I actually win against Strom?
Speaking from the feeling I had when I had my run-in with Strom at the guard station, I don’t think Strom was serious.
Of course, I also refrained from using magic at full force, considering the damage to my surroundings.
In other words, we fought each other with our hands hidden.
This time, the battlefield was the old imperial capital in the demon territory.
A city that is no longer inhabited by humans.
There was no need to consider the damage to the surrounding area.
It will probably be a battle in which both sides will give it their all.
If that happens, will my full power be able to reach Strom’s full power?
I’m not too keen on it… but maybe I should try that magic…
The safeguard for me, the directionality of the magical effect, is now in place.
Now I just need to try it out.
I guess I need to test that one too.
As well as testing the magic against Strom, there is one more thing I want to make sure of.
If it is proven, the battle against Strom should be able to proceed favorably.
Both new magic and verification are things I’m not too familiar with but…
Better to not try it than to regret not trying it.
After this training was over, we decided to start the experimentation and verification of it and decided on a schedule for the future.
The participating knights were struggling to learn how to use the vibrating sword, but in the end, the only difficult thing was to swing the sword while activating the magical tool.
If that was the only difficult part, then all the knights who had fought in past battles began to master the use of the vibrating sword in no time.
Then.
“All right,” he said. Each of you are familiar with the characteristics of this sword and how to use it, right?”
“Yes!”
“Good. Now, go back to your posts and teach your subordinates how to use this sword.”
“Ha!”
The training began in the morning and ended afternoon when everyone was proficient in using the sword.
Then we return with the swords I granted them in large quantities.
I remember to check all of them in detail and how many each of them will possess.
After all is said and done, I will use this list to retrieve the swords and cancel the grants.
This check takes a lot of nerve.
I’ve done very little, just managing the swords and teaching them to Mr. Gastolle.
“I was nervous as hell about it, but it seems to be going well, doesn’t it?”
“I think so. I’m not sure how much I’m going to be able to do.”
In fact, I’ve been following Director Gastolle at Melinda’s request.
Miranda breathed a sigh of relief, and when Tony was working with Chris, who had joined the meeting on short notice, Chris said something unexpected.
“Grandma’s request? Why?”
“I think it’s enough just for us to teach her how to use the magic tools.”
Chris looked at her own sword as she said this, then looked at me again and said, “Tomorrow, every day, hundreds and thousands of grants will be given.”
“Do you really think you can participate in the training?”
“Hah… that’s what’s so depressing…”
“I’ve never seen or experienced such a scene before, but I’m sure a cartoon-like scene will unfold, with stamps being stamped on stacks of papers. If permission is obtained from other countries, those who have already mastered it can be on the teaching side. So, leave the teaching of the vibrating sword to us, and Shin should concentrate all his efforts on the granting of the magical tools.”
“Alright.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay for me to be taught by someone from another country, but if you give me permission, that would be the fastest way.”
Maybe I should ask them.
As I was thinking this, Miranda and Tony were looking at me and Chris.
“What?”
Wolford and Christina are really like sister and brother.
“I’m jealous.”
The actuality of the fact that the particulars of the particulars are not really as simple as you might think.
“I’m not a fan of the way you look at it.”
“I guess so. I’ve been taking care of him for years now. It takes a lot of work, but he’s a sweet little brother.”
“And then there’s Zeke.”
“I envy you!”
When I told her that I also have another brother, Miranda and Tony both said they were envious, and Chris looked as disgusted as she could.
“That one is not a relative.”
“You two really don’t get along, huh…?”
“Mr. Wolford. Can I ask you a question?” (Gastolle)
“Go ahead.” (Shin)
As expected, Tony and Miranda could not teach Director Gastolle, so I was teaching him.
The director asked me a question.
“How did you get this much in such a short period of time?” (Gastolle)
