Magi’s Grandson

Vol 3 Chapter 70



Business as usual today as well

Today is another joint training session with the Knights Academy However, we wont partic.i.p.ate, since well be hunting monsters alone.

I though Sieg and Chris would be our leaders today too, but the person that showed up to be our leader was none other than Rupert Olgrand.

The students of the Magic Academy were puzzled at the sudden appearance of Earlshydes top magician to the point where they were visibly cowering.

Well, their fear isnt unjustified. Afterall, theyre not even chicks, in a manner of speaking, you could say theyre still eggs. (TN: a.n.a.logy for fledglings. Boku no Hero uses that one as well.)

The boss of the birds appeared before the eggs. It would be impossible not to flinch.

Oh? Mr. Olgrand? How come Sieg isnt here?(s.h.i.+n)

He is primarily a bodyguard of his Majesty. Taking the lead for Walfords training was a special case.(Rupert)

Huh, is that so?(s.h.i.+n)

He accompanied your training yesterday and judged an escort is unnecessary for your group However, even though your power is immeasurable, youre still students. A leader is mandatory for the exercises, so I came today to monitor your insane group.(Rupert)

We dont need an escort, but I guess having students undertake demon subjugations alone would be too irresponsible?

Either way, an adult is coming along.

But if its only for that reason then Mr. Olgrand himself didnt need to come, right?(s.h.i.+n)

Well, thats certainly true, but I wanted to observe you myself.(Rupert)

Is that so? I dont think our hunting is that interesting though.(s.h.i.+n)

What the heck are you talking about? Isnt every member of this group decorated? Theres no way I wouldnt be interested.(Rupert)

Is that the way it is(s.h.i.+n)

Thats the way it is.(Rupert)

Well, it doesnt seem to be a matter of specifically restraining our actions.

Olgrand. because of you, s.h.i.+n cast an illusion In this case, only s.h.i.+n and I can talk to you frankly? Please be aware that the head of the Magic Division monitoring a group of students is insane enough behavior in and of itself.(August)

I know that, but(Rupert)

Mr. Olgrand lowered his voice and started whispering to Gus.

(I heard from an insane report from Sieg, so Im trying to ascertain the true strength of Ultimate Magicians first hand to plan a strategy for the next Alliance meeting.)(Rupert)

(Alright, but Dont meddle too much.)(August)

(I understand.)(Rupert)

What were you talking about just now?(s.h.i.+n)

Nothing.(August)

Oh, its a casual chat. Well then, shall we go soon? I want to see your group fight.(Rupert)

Ye-yes!(Everyone)

Sure enough, everyone is tense because of Mr. Olgrand.

I Mr. Olgrand isnt as prestigious as my grandma. Even though he is the head of a respected organization, I talk to the heads of many great organizations frequently, so Im not nervous.

In the future, we will become an organization organized separately from the magic division, and I hope the distance will shrink because hes our leader today.

While I was thinking about that, we arrived at the same place as yesterday.

Whoa! Whoa! Hey wasnt our pace too fast?(Rupert)

Is that so? Oh, thats because everyone used these, isnt it?(s.h.i.+n)

These?&r

dquo;(Rupert)

I pointed at everyones feet.

They are all wearing jet boots.

Is that Walford when youre wearing those, you can shorten the distance with your opponent or change directions in the air?(Rupert)

Yes, I used them when I fought against Stromm.(s.h.i.+n)

Huh? Everyone is wearing them Does that mean everyone can fight in close combat?(Rupert)

Logically, he isnt wrong, but the real reason everyone is wearing jet boots is a different one.

Volleyball(s.h.i.+n)

Hmm? Volleyball Whats that? The game Walford taught you at the Rittenheim resort?(Rupert)

That volleyball Its more fun if you use jet boots, so everyone is wearing them(s.h.i.+n)

No way, to get used to handling them(Rupert)

Basically, we are a fixed artillery. We dont use it during battle. However, Tony and I are pretty good at handling them, so we normally fight in close combat After all, if you dont practice, you wont improve, so I move with these (s.h.i.+n)

Although its the same place youve been to the other day, I was wondering why you didnt use Gate even though its the same place youve been to just the other day So the reason why is because you want to get used to the jet boots(Rupert)

Sorry.(s.h.i.+n)

No Honestly, Id like to see you use it during training When you consider how useful this will be in actual warfare, I cannot get upset.(Rupert)

Hes right.

We use jet boots for Magical Volley, but if one can master them, he can gain an advantage in combat. Not just in battle, but one can move without exhausting their physical strength.

Even Mr. Olgrand, who was keeping up with us by using body strengthening, was breathless.

Everyone can use Gate, but not everyone can use flying magic. Itll be especially handy when moving as individuals. (TN: Iirc they all used flying magic when reacting to invasions, so idk how they suddenly cant use it) (EN: I thought s.h.i.+n was the one lifting them all up with his flying magic, not theirs) (TN: Too lazy to look it up. If anyone knows, tell me in a comment and you get a cybercookie.)

A magic tool for movement I will consider introducing it to the curriculum since we have a lot of bean sprouts(Rupert)

By the way, I was told that we received a large order of jet boots from the Knight Order.(s.h.i.+n)

What? The Knight Order?(Rupert)

Yes, it raises acceleration. Its particularly useful in combat for swordsmen.(s.h.i.+n)

That Dominic, He didnt tell me anything about this(Rupert)

But dont the knights ride horses? If you ride horses, you dont need jet boots(Tony)

The horse is a powerful weapon in a war against humans, but it wont fare so well with a devil as the opponent.(Rupert)

Wouldnt it make it easier to fight when they get off their horses?(Alice)

Most likely. Well, I can only ride horses for transportation, so I dont know the details.(Rupert)

If the monster is moving quickly, isnt it difficult to attack while on horseback?

So? What are you going to do now? Will you wait for demons to come? Or will you go looking for them?(Rupert)

Oh, that is going to be determined later(s.h.i.+n)

Just like yesterday, I collected magic power and attracted demons to our location.

Well, lets start todays hunt for materials.

So this is what left Sieg dumbfounded. What on earth is this?(Rupert)

For the fourth time in a row, I attracted demons and arranged the same group combinations from yesterday to subjugate them.

Today, the att.i.tude was different. No one panicked, and we could collect much more materials than yesterday.

Hmm. I guess the success rate is still around 40%?(Tony)

Tony is good! I can manage about 20%!(Alice)

Thats not something to be proud of.(Rin)

Tony said 40%, Alice said 20%, referring to the proportion of clean kills.

Even if it isnt beautiful, they subjugate them cleanly with some consistency to an extent.

It is a big difference from yesterday.

Youre not satisfied with this? If you want to sell the materials, you have enough. You could even rate them among the highest quality goods(Rupert)

Our goal is to hunt completely clean. Its not very good so far.(s.h.i.+n)

Cleanly every time What are you saying? Something like that(Rupert)

Look at the demons s.h.i.+n has killed.(August)

(Rupert)

All of his kills are flawless. He demonstrated his expertise to you just now. We still have a long way to go.(August)

Probably because of Target.

Hah Ha s.h.i.+n is amazing after all. When a clear-cut goal becomes visible, I get fired up to train!(Sicily)

Sicily is out of breath after fighting four consecutive battles today.

Sicily also knew beforehand that she will partic.i.p.ate in subjugation today, so she isnt as out of breath as yesterday.

However, using magic requires concentration, so if you keep at it for a long time, you will be out of breath in a bit depending on your mana pool.

However, thanks to the rigorous training routine, Sicilys offensive magic has more precision and power than before.

My attack magic has considerably improved. But I feel that this is still not enough, Ill do my best to continue.(Sicily)
