Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan - 104 14 Stories
Around three weeks left until the competition festival.
In parallel to my physical racing practice, which is a participating event, I also accompanied Gran’s training.
“No, no, no… Huh!
Activate Materialization (Fixation) as Gran roars.
Over a few minutes, slowly before Gran’s eyes, a large weapon appeared.
“Ok, I can do it!!
Scream as Gran is filled with accomplishments.
I saw that giant weapon in front of me, and I asked.
“… is that a hammer?
“Whoa! There’s a competition called Sledgehammer on the first day of the competition festival, right? I saw the hammer used for that, and I pinned it.”
Grant’s creation in Materialization was a huge hammer.
Sledgehammers are competitions where teams that inflict greater damage win the magic equipment they target. When competing, each team is given a huge hammer, but this is so huge in mass and weight that most players cannot use it.
Such was Gran’s weapon of mimicking a hammer that no ordinary person assumed to use, still boasted a huge mass that no ordinary person could handle. The head area is wider than the back length of an adult male. Even a large pig is going to crumble like a bug.
“For once, this guy is going to be a weapon to handle mid-range warfare. You should hit him directly in the melee.”
“… right. In the case of Gran, even a hand-to-hand fist is sufficient to exert his power. You won’t have to prepare any special weapons in the melee.”
Gran is also figuring out how to train herself.
I affirmed the idea.
“I’ll swing it gently.”
Gran, who told him briefly, let his whole body muscle and wield a hammer.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to say I’m using the hammer perfectly. Occasionally, I was swayed by its weight.
This time, however, the focus is on ad hoc responses using Materialization (Fixation), not on refining martial arts. Gran, who specializes in melee fights, is too skilled to handle mid-range fights… from that point of view. You’ve probably been learning how to use a hammer before you showed it to me.
“It’s powerful too… but it’s sturdy. Boulder, Magic Sustainability (Stamina) A-rank.”
“Well, instead, it’s gonna take a while to get ready, and unlike a too-eight, I don’t have the kind of fine control to stretch some of it.”
Gran’s magic powers are Magic Output (Power) C, Magic Instant Stress (Speed) D, Magic Persistence (Stamina) A, and Magic Control (Control) E. It takes time to prepare because of the low magic instant force (speed), and because of the low magic control (control), the shape cannot be changed in real time. However, Gran has enough magical endurance (stamina) to compensate for such shortcomings. It’s a threat to be able to produce as many durable weapons as you can.
“And if you wave this guy down as hard as you can -”
Shake down the hammer Gran lifted overhead with momentum.
Heavy ground sounds and explosions sounded. The exercise area rocks and I hear the surprise of the students from the outside.
“What do you say? A special blow, don’t you think?
“Oh. Don’t squash easily if you’re in line defense”
“Hehe, now you have two of my must-win patterns. One is to get close to the limit and hit him. The second is to hit this hammer down.”
I nodded at Gran, who said gladly.
But…
“Don’t need any ideas to strike.”
“Right. Well, I’ve been thinking a lot about that.”
Gran said to delude somewhere.
I don’t dare to answer… I suppose you want to hide your hand from me, the eagle group.
“Now, is changing players in war games an easy thing to do? Gran used to say he wanted the strength to just drag down current members…”
“Just yesterday, I asked the leader of the Lions, and it looks like they’ll set up a mock fight with the right to join the war, if only they had an agreement between the two. The Eagles had a similar fight, didn’t they? They’ve decided to consider our leaders more positively than ever before.”
That precedent would mean Sieg. Sieg also had a mock fight with two students seeking to participate in a war game to try and take away his brilliant, right to enter the war.
“You think you can win?
“Maybe. Just in case, I’m going to work out a little bit before I try.”
Unlike the usual cheerful attitude, there is no alarm or gap in the current Gran.
I’m teaching Gran my moves only to get Gran into the war game. If you can accomplish your purpose, you won’t have to imitate anything more like exploring your hands.
“Oh, no, are you practicing something too, Too?
In an unexpected inquiry, I opened my mouth for a little while.
“What made you think that?
“No, I just peeked into the eagle group practice a little before, because I wasn’t there. I’m not doing anything.”
“… sort of”
Essentially, until the end of the competition festival, both eagle and lion groups are supposed to train separately, but it’s often more of a bowl than spending time in the same school building. It’s about Gran, who’s now focused on workouts, so it would be to the extent I’ve occasionally seen it.
“Just fine. Gran, why don’t you take a little?”
“Ooh.”
The results of the practice have been shown to Dr. Sylphia from day to day, but I would also like to hear the views of the student gaze attending the competition festival.
Gran activates “Reggie”. As usual, it was wasteless, perfect arm. Gran with an E-rank of Magic Control (Control) is not good at controlling magic without wasting it… Perhaps he has had a lot of experience using it only by jumping through “Reggie”. Skilled.
“Let’s go.”
Grant’s “Reggie” will endure fine.
To some extent, I adjusted my power and I – stuck my fist out to Gran.
Just before the fist came into contact with Gran’s body.
A dull bursting sound sounds.
“Heb- Huh!?
Gran screamed and blew away.
I run over to Gran, who plays lightly with his butt cake.
“I’m sorry. A little too strong.”
“Yes, no, I’m fine. You’re not hurt.”
Gran, who gave that back to me worried, had a puzzling look on his face.
“You didn’t put much effort into it, did you? That’s a lot of power…. It was more of a shock than just getting beat up by some stupid big demon slapping his whole body…”
Around where I can start analyzing right away, apparently there’s really no injuries.
I don’t answer Gran’s questions, I tell him.
It’s a trade secret.
“Whoa. You know how to fight me, so why don’t you tell me too?
“Gran would hide what’s at stake too”
Shit, did you find out?
Fun as it sounds, Gran says.
I sorted out the advantages and disadvantages of the new moves as I rebuffed Gran’s thoughts in my brain.
A blow that can break the guard is huge. However, the power is dispersed because it has transformed what is originally an attack by dots into an attack by face. That’s why Gran said it was “a shock like being slapped” even though I hit him.
“Tweet. It’s a corner, and you want to have a little meeting?
“… right”
Gran and I will simultaneously activate “Reggie”.
Flesh bullet battles with Gran are good training for me too. Elysia and I have another different horror.
“You’re going to be fine.”
I was called from behind, and Gran and I broke up.
Nestled ahead turned was Milla-Opstein, a brunette shortcut girl. He is a member of the Student Council and leader of the Eagle Group.
There were two men and women beside her.
I didn’t recognize you two… but from the badge on that chest, I guess who they are.
“… student council?
