52 – Magic Stone Golem – 1
“As I said in the last lecture, I have prepared a special opponent today. “Isn’t it time to get tired of sparring and theory lectures?”
Someone cheered and applauded vigorously at Jake’s voice, and then shouted with laughter, asking what the professor’s position would be like if they liked him that much.
Everyone was looking around with faces full of anticipation. I was the only one who missed the last practice sparring lecture because I had rested for the past week, so I was just sitting there wondering something.
“Do you know what you are doing today? “Aria asked me to surprise her with her, so I didn’t tell her for now.”
Brünnhild quietly whispered.
Luckily, every time I saw Brünnhild, the memory of the dream I had yesterday came to mind, and that didn’t happen. If that were the case, I would have had a hard time adapting and getting used to it like I did in the past, but it was a good thing.
“I didn’t hear. “What is it that makes everyone react like that?”
“I know when I see it, when I see it. “No matter how much it is you this time, I’m sure you’ll be very surprised, right?”@@@@
Brünnhild smiled, perhaps because I didn’t usually show my emotions out loud. I’m not doing this on purpose either. Because I’ve been through such a difficult situation, I just don’t feel inspired by most things.
“Where...” ... Hmm. It was like this. Good! Magic stone golem! Start working!”
As Jake shouted loudly, the magic stone golems in the space beyond the door began to slowly walk out to the training ground. I guess that’s why they even rented the Colosseum today.
The appearance was quite intimidating. Its entire body was smooth as if it were carved from white marble, and its eyes glowed green. He seemed to be about 3 meters tall.
Students who saw that majestic appearance repeatedly burst out in exclamation.
‘...... ‘Why is that already out?’
“How about it, isn’t it great? “Even if you wipe out the entire empire, it would be difficult to find a combat magic stone golem with that level of performance.”
When Brunhild saw me surprised, he became elated as if the magic stone golem belonged to him, but the reason I was surprised wasn’t because of the golem’s appearance.
This was because we later learned that their cores had been contaminated by the Devil’s army’s tactics and were being used to hunt humans. If it goes according to the flow of the original work, it should appear next year.
In fact, there is no other action more meaningless than judging the original work.
“It is a magic stone golem made for sparring with the Royal Guard! The Sword Saint gave us permission to rent it specifically for the students of Belium Academy!”
Jake shouted loudly. I could feel the favorability towards the Sword Saint rapidly soaring around me. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he beat up students who asked to be his students on the first day.
‘The Sword Master allowed the rental...’ ... Is it because of me?’
It seemed highly likely that that was the case. Just yesterday, when they heard that I was sick, they sent me an elixir diluted 1/10.
“I have a lot of money. “The efficiency of those things is really not that great.”
“...... Mira, why does it sound a little strange when you say that?”
“No, I don’t mean that. Do you see a pile of top-quality magic stones behind there? “Maybe there won’t be anything left after today’s sparring?”
“...... Oh, no way. Just doing that alone would be enough to connect and spin dozens of magic tools.”
“Check later. “I’m sure we’ll catch a lot of people.”
Well, if you use it for sparring and destroy it, you have to pay compensation. No matter how expensive the magic stone golem is, is that possible? It’s not like making fun of people.
“Okay, now we’re going to start in earnest, so feel free to stand in front of the golem you want to deal with first!”
There were a total of 7 magic stone golems, each holding different weapons. Swords, spears, axes, maces and shields, etc. It seemed like it was made with the assumption of a battle with demons rather than monsters.
After leaving a brief greeting saying, “I’ll be back, Aria,” She lined up in front of the golem holding the mace and shield. Brunhild and I decided to sit back and see how well it performed.
“...... I think it’s really strong. “Do you really think I can destroy something like that?”
Brünnhild seemed to be holding up pretty well, but as he looked at the student who was unexpectedly hit by a mace and flew awkwardly for a long time, rolling around on the floor, he muttered with a mesmerized expression.
As they said, even though they were students at Belium Academy, which only admitted talented people from all over the empire, they were clearly outclassed by the magic stone golem.
Except for a few truly special exceptions, there was no way that academy students would be stronger than the Royal Guard, so it was natural.
‘I’m sure that’s enough... ....’
My impressions were exactly the opposite of Brunhild’s.
Whether it was something that the Sword Saint saw once, or he said it because he knew the truth, if the golem’s strength was at that level, it was definitely enough to point me out and tell me not to give it my all.
Even Brunhild can break that timid state just by speaking.
“Wow, but Mira, it’s just as you said. I’ve already written more than twenty. “I guess that’s why they don’t want to let you out under any circumstances.”
At the same time, the problem of the extremely inefficient power source of the magic stone golem was clearly revealed. Even though only about 30 minutes had passed since the sparring began, more than twenty top-quality magic stones had disappeared.
Approximately one top-quality magic stone is exchanged for every five students, so about one gold coin evaporates into thin air at a time. Perhaps that was why everyone was fighting with all their might.
“You won’t fight, will you, Brunhild?”
“Uh, should I say I’m a little hesitant...... He seems weaker than the corps commander I fought in the last dungeon, and I feel like it might be a bit much if I blow him up because I can’t control my strength...... Anyway, a little bit like that.”
“My eyes got so high after fighting with the corps commander once. Is it because you are a warrior after all?”
“Hey...... !”
Brünnhild gave me a hard slap as if to tell me to shut up. There wasn’t any particular force involved.
Still, the raised eyes were a good sign. This means that there is still plenty of room to become stronger and that we have not broken down.
“Whoa...” ... “I’m exhausted.”
Brünnhild, who had been arguing for a while, panted and leaned on his shoulder. There’s no way he’d be tired after just hitting his arm a few times, so it’s absolutely brutal.
This is something I’ve felt for a long time, but I felt like I couldn’t gauge the distance well, perhaps because the only friend around me was Aria. The level of skinship she gave Aria and me was almost the same.
“Oh, that’s right. She forgot to ask earlier. “We made porridge and rice balls for you.”
“That’s right.”
Even though it was because I refused to do everything, I must have felt bad about not being able to visit both of them in the hospital, so I brought porridge and rice balls at lunchtime, saying it was a patient meal.
“Which of the two was mine?”
