Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 105.3

Completely, did you anticipate the battle with me?

Wrapping the white cloth indicating elimination around my arm, I asked.

No matter how you slice it, I cant believe you put together tactics overnight.

Clearly, youve been preparing since before the exercise.

Well, yeah.

What if we were on the same team for both battles?

Theres always next year. We wont be on the same team four times in a row, right?

Quite the patient outlook

As I sighed in exasperation, Sechies spoke up.

Ive seen something interesting.

I appreciate your testimony, but what were you up to? Is the alert network good?

We heard huge noises several times. Youd think it was a monster.

Is that so? Sorry for the disturbance.

As I apologized to Hashou, a sudden question arose.

So, were you watching from the beginning?

Yeah, basically. Although I started watching partway through, if you were using offensive magic, we wouldnt be having a shootout of barrier magic.

I agreed with Sechies observation.

After that, we moved to the waiting area for the dropouts.

Hashou also accompanied us, and he seemed quite enthusiastic about discussing the battle.

Elphimia, who demonstrated a variety of tactics without using offensive magic, was also praised without reservation.

It seems being praised by a C-rank feels good.

Elphimia responded with a smile.

From their conversation, I learned that Elphimia and I have an unusually fast wall generation rate.

Normally, its much slower and cant be used for striking attacks.

No wonder it wasnt included in the forbidden magic.

But, I never thought I could fight this well. It makes sense we defeated Kudolga.

Kudolga the snake that uses magic?

Unintentionally, Amber muttered, and Elphimia, with keen ears, asked back.

Amber noticed her slip of the tongue and looked at me in a panic.

Elphimias fine.

Relieved, I nodded, and Amber breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, thats right I see, it was Kudolga. Altair-sama brought it down alone last time. I thought it was because it was injured or had little magic power left, but I was wrong.

Hashou also nodded in agreement.

It seems they had been conveniently misunderstanding it.

Well, as long as its about this level, there shouldnt be a problem. The real problem would be if they figured out what I hadnt shown.

And the few who knew about it seemed to be pondering something.

Could it be you used [Force Field]?

Correct.

Elphimia knows the circumstances of me learning Fireball quite well.

It wouldnt be strange if she had seen it somewhere.

By the way, I learned it quite quickly.

It was good to experience it, and Ive grasped the sensation of magical deployment with [Operate Energy].

What else did you use?

With a sharp tone, Elphimia stared at me.

What else Hmm, I cant remember.

As I hesitated to answer, my shoulders were suddenly grabbed.

Spill it! What else did you use!? You didnt use that, did you?

Hahaha, what are you talking about?

Being shaken helplessly, I pretended not to notice.

I never expected Elphimia to latch onto it like this.

It must really be rare, spirit magic.

Well, even if I had dodged the question, I hadnt learned it, and I didnt think I could.

How to train such a strange skill as [Spirit Fellowship] was beyond everyones comprehension.

And [Stalagmite] is still under intense training.

With [Multiple Chanting], a pseudo Scenery Stone Stalagmite is possible, but mastering it as magic was quite difficult. Still, it feels much more rewarding than spirit magic without any sensation.

While dodging Elphimias questioning, we arrived at the waiting area for dropouts.

And soon, the second battle ended.

Lamberts surprise attack was successful, and the Sobal team emerged victorious.

Almost simultaneously, our main camp also faced a total attack, with a slight difference in outcome.

Upon returning to the main camp and reporting, Sobal and our allies showered us with praise.

Technically, Im also part of the surprise attack team, but since I was playing with Elphimia halfway through, I felt a bit uncomfortable.

Also, Kurtos apparently managed to shake off pursuit somehow and appeared gallantly as reinforcement for Lamberts team.

Receiving praise, he seemed very satisfied.

After that, we began dismantling the camp.

While working, Elliott, unusually excited, began to talk about the battle.

According to him, Lambert and Felix had performed brilliantly.

They faced off against a larger number of escort troops, repelled them directly, and scattered the coming guerrillas one by one.

Towards the end, Egims team was pushed back by their spirit, apparently.

Upon hearing this, Lambert, somewhat embarrassed, laughed and said,

But, it was troublesome for Reise.

And unexpectedly mentioned someone.

Her magic wasnt anything special, and she hadnt learned any combat-related skills.

However, no matter how they dealt with her, she kept coming at them with a dagger.

I can totally relate.

When someone that small is desperately swinging a dagger, you cant really attack them.

In the end, they managed to knock her down and somehow eliminate her.

Even when she fell or lost, Reise didnt cry. Impressive.

And thus, the joint exercise spanning three days came to an end.

Without incident, we returned to Selen, to the academy.

And when we were about to head to the usual cafeteria with everyone, Elphimia and I were summoned by the instructor.

Since you two will be judges for next years joint exercise.

Receiving Desinds announcement, Elphimia froze.

I quickly took my leave, informed Lambert, and hurried home.

I can hear someone shouting somewhere far away, but it probably has nothing to do with me.
