9 Episode 8 Fun Military Reform Part 1 (1/2)

Ding, ding, ding.

In the backyard of the palace of the Lemurian Empire, a high-pitched metallic sound echoed.

A boy with black hair and a girl with fiery red hair were fiercely clashing their swords over and over again.

Red and black intersected again and again.

And ......

Ding!

The black-haired boy's sword flies through the air.

It spun around and fell to the ground.

The boy raises his hands.

”Well, well, well. You're no match for Karolina. As expected of General Galfis' daughter. One of the ten knights of the empire at fourteen. I'm no match for her.

No, I fought with all my might. ...... So you can fight with a sword, too?

Karolina praised Hercule.

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you may want to take a look at the following.

You are skilled not only in swordsmanship, but also in bodywork, archery, horsemanship, and spearmanship.

”Because I was taught. If you have a good teacher and enough time, you can be confident that you will be able to master anything as well as anyone else. I'm confident that with time and a good teacher, I can be as good or better at anything. ...... Well, I can be top-notch, but I'll never be top-notch like you.

Hercule shrugged his shoulders.

I can do everything better than most people, but I can never reach the level of a superhuman.

That's my limit.

That's what he thought of his own athletic ability.

”Karolina, you've been slacking with your weapons.

Hercule picks up his sword.

Her sword was made of iron, and the blade had been crushed into a circle.

Karolina's sword is rounded as well.

It was for safety.

If you really want to be safe, you should use a wooden sword, but then you can't handle the weight of iron.

Well, you don't have to worry too much because the Elves are stronger than other races and will not die so easily.

You can easily defeat me if you use your magic and the spirits you have contracted.

”You didn't use your own spirit, did you?

Witchcraft.

Magic.

Spiritualism.

These are the three main abilities that the elves can use.

Sorcery is a kind of ”learning” to read the reason of the world and to interfere in the world.

As such, it involves philosophical, religious, and natural scientific elements.

It is said that while a sorcerer makes a fireball and scorches the enemy's armor a little, an archer with a longbow shoots and kills five of them.

It has been said.

And it can be easily counteracted or cancelled out in various ways.

Magic is not a technology used in battle.

It is very useful in medicine, manufacturing, construction, and siege.

Magic is very similar to sorcery, but very different.

Magic is much more powerful than sorcery and can be used in battle.

However, things like fireballs and RPGs are the exclusive domain of sorcery and the spirit arts described below.

The difference between magic and sorcery is that they cannot be learned.

Magic can be learned by effort, but magic cannot be learned by effort.

It can be acquired congenitally, or it can be acquired suddenly by an experience.

And the number of people who possess it is limited to begin with.

This is its greatest characteristic.

Magic can be classified into three types.

The first is inherent magic. The first is inherent magic, which you are born with.

The most famous example is Carolina's ”Divine Speed” spell.

As the name suggests, it can increase the speed of your body several times.

The second is bloodline magic. The second is bloodline magic, which is inherited by the bloodline.

A typical example is ”My Sword is for the Emperor,” which is possessed by the Galleanos family, namely Karolina and Galfis.

It is a spell that increases physical ability when one possesses a weapon.

By the way, even if you use a spear or a bow, your physical ability will increase without any problem.

Spoons and forks are also fine, as long as the user can recognize them as weapons.

The third is inherited magic. This is a spell that is passed on from person to person by transferring it to a designated person.

Unlike bloodline spells and inherited spells, there is only one type of inherited spell in the world.

A typical example is the Imperator, a spell possessed by Hercule.

This is a hereditary spell passed down from generation to generation by the Emperor of Lemuria, and is a sign of succession to the throne.

The effect is to give a psychological advantage to the Elves.

The effect is a psychological advantage over the elves.

The elves will have a hard time refusing the orders of the emperor who has this ”Imperator”.

Of course, if they really don't want to, they can refuse, and if they hate him, they can assassinate him.

Even so, the psychological hurdle is raised considerably.

It is thanks to this power that there was little opposition from the nobility of the Elves during Hercule's financial reform.
