He is one of the living legends who was the leader of the adventurer group that the Fist Saint Gladna was a part of when he was in his prime.
　He is known as the "True Eye," and is an important figure in raising the quality of Morgana's upper ranks.

It's been a while since I've seen you, Mixu.
I've already told you that I'm only a member of Morgana!
No, I beg your pardon. I'm sorry, but the previous King of Taze was very kind to me, and as an adventurer, I can't help but feel special towards the daughter of my benefactor.

　He was born into the Tarzian nobility, and because of that, he would sometimes treat me, a known member of the royal family, with such reverence that I didn't want to see him too often.

I see you are now working for the present King Táiz. I trust Salve is well?
"Lord Raggedyddur is still at work, and he recently had a meeting with Lord Gladna.
"I see Gladona's been visiting the Tarlys, too.
Yeah, well, ......
By the way, I heard that Gladna has a new apprentice who is also visiting Quama, but not with you, Master Mixu?
I heard that Gladna has taken a new apprentice who is also visiting Quama.
Oh, that's a pity. I heard that Gladna, who hadn't taken a new apprentice since the destruction of her apprentice, went to the trouble of taking one, and I thought she was a very talented person.

　It's hard to say that they are better than Gladonas, but I think they are good enough for Morgana, although Wolfe is a subhuman.

I'm sure you'll agree. "She's a subhuman, and even if we don't discriminate against subhumans nowadays, she'll still stand out," he said.
"It's sad, but it's also sad that I can't say it's wrong. If I had been able to eradicate the old custom of respecting formality, it would have been a different story.

　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

"Oops, excuse me. You're here about Rakura's application for membership, aren't you? I have a bad habit of chatting with acquaintances when I meet them.
No, no, don't worry about it.
You're a priest of Medis, I believe, under the tutelage of Archbishop Ucka, aren't you?
Oh, you know him well.
People call me the "true eye," but my strength is my ears, and I can find the best people because I'm always on the lookout for information. Now, let me borrow some materials.

　Mr. Lytial read the letter of introduction we had brought and nodded.

I see, with your track record and your relationships with the representatives of the various countries, you should have no problem joining Morgana.
I'm glad to hear that.
"But it's quite an achievement, considering the reputation I've heard about you.
"Yes.

　Before he came to Tarz, Lord Lakra's reputation was certainly not good.
　Although he excelled in combat, I heard that he was unable to perform most of his duties as a priest, and was not given a proper job.

I have heard rumors that he was a favorite of Archbishop Ucka and was given special treatment to become a priest. I'd like to hear your own opinion about that.
"Hmm, special treatment? It is true that Master Ucka had a soft spot for me.

　Mr. Lakra, isn't that only going to make a bad impression?
　Rather than being honest, it would be better to explain that there was something to see there. .......

"Oh, you don't deny it?
Yeah, I've only had a handful of demon battles in my life.
Hmm, so you're quite confident in your abilities?
I don't know. There are so many great people around me these days.

　You can't compare them to Sir Ratzel or Wolfe-chan!
　You can't compare them to Sir Ratzel or Wolfe-they're out of this world, and your friend is going in a completely different direction.

I'm not sure if I'm being modest or if I'm being ...... well, you can see it in person. In any case, I can approve you to join Morgana at my own discretion.
Wow, you're really something, aren't you, Ritual?

　He's the top of the guild, after all. .......
　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

What rank do you want to start at? Do you have a preference?
"Rank?
Oops, I didn't explain that well enough. Lord Lakra, the members of Morgana's guild are assigned ranks, and the difficulty of the requests they receive is determined by their rank.
"Like a rank?
Yes, there are ranks from 1 to 10, with rank 1 being the highest. I'm rank 2.
That's amazing, Mixu!　What is your rank, Mr. Lityal?
Me? Rank one.
Mister Lakra, Mister Ritual is the head of the guild. ......
Oh, that's right.

　The rank 1 will act as the face of Morgana, a rank that is trusted to receive requests from the king of other countries.
　However, I've stopped at rank 2 because I'm busy with Morgana's notifications.
　Normally, it would be the rank 1s who would receive my brother's request, but because of my background and his direct request, I was summoned as a special exception.

If you're Lakra-dono, I'm sure you'll have no problem with rank 4 or 5.
I'm not so sure. Can I request another rank?
Yes, of course. However, when you join, you will be given a simple test to see if you are suitable for the rank in question. If you pass the test, you will be placed in the rank you want. If you fail the test, you will be placed in a rank a little lower than the rank we estimated for you.
Oh, you mean a little lower?
Yes, it's a measure to evaluate those who don't know their own ability.
So it's better to start at a lower rank?
No, that's fine. However, in order to move up in rank, you must be active in Morgana and pass a promotion test that will be held within a certain period of time. You can only raise one rank at a time.

　When you join Morgana, you can choose your preferred rank instead of starting at rank 10.


　This is an opportunity given to those who are confident that they are worthy of this rank, and at the same time, it is a baptism to see how good they are.
　If you are of the right rank, you will be able to move up in rank as your skills improve, and you will receive commissions commensurate with your skills.
　However, if you are registered below the appropriate rank, the process of moving up is said to be quite difficult.
　This is a system to know your ability correctly. Most people who want to join Morgana choose a rank a little lower than the appropriate rank here. ...... I wonder how Lakra-dono evaluates himself.
　He places a piece of parchment on the table, which gives you an example of the requests you can receive based on your rank.

"Here are some examples of the requests you can receive for each rank, for your reference.
"Hmmm... I'd like to have the highest rank on ......!

　Oh, this is unexpected.

"Instant decision. Are you sure you want rank 2?
"Oh, you don't want rank 1?
Rank one is very special. It requires a proven track record in Morgana.
That's not an option. Rank 2, please.
All right. The test will look at your strengths. Are there any areas in which you can show off?
Not really, except for fighting.
Then we'll arrange for a test of your combat abilities. Please wait a moment.

　With that, Lord Lytial bowed and left the room.
　I would have expected Lakra-dono to choose a rank a little lower than the appropriate rank given his personality, but I wondered if this was due to the influence of his friends or Exdoik-dono.
　Lakra-dono looked uncomfortable when she saw me looking at her.

"Um, Mixu-chan, did I do something wrong?
"No, I personally thought that Lacula-dono's aptitude was rank 3 or 4. If it was Lakra-dono's personality, I would have estimated his ability a little lower.
"Is that so? But since you're going to take the test, I thought it would be more worthwhile to challenge you with a higher rank.
It's good to be ambitious!　But, well, ......
What's wrong?
Aspirations for higher ranks are often downgraded when one fails the exam.

　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find any useful information.
　If you're looking for the best of the best, you're in the right place. ...... Well, since you're not going to be working as an adventurer, rank 10 won't be a problem.
　And if it's a test for combat skills, there's a good chance you'll be able to pass.
　The only problem is that he is a human, not a demon.
　If you kill them, you will fail the test, and it will be difficult to use your high killing power warding magic.

I'm sure the combat test will be a duel with an adventurer of your rank, how much experience do you have with human combat?
"Human combat experience?　Well, ...... only once with Mr. Ex-Doik?

　...... My friend, are you okay with this?

　I'm sorry.

"Masetha-Neutis, I would like you to be Rakhra-Sarv's test partner.

　The guild master, Ritual, asked me to do so, and I accepted without hesitation.
　And now, I'm standing in Morgana's private square, face to face with that Lakra.
　The first time I met Lakra was on the day I joined the Yugra Order, when I was receiving a speech from our guardian, Master Ucca.
　Lakra, who was standing beside me, was shaking his head before the speech even started.
　By the time he had finished, he was rubbing his forehead against the back of the chair in front of him and sleeping like a child.
　For the first time in my life, I felt disgust for those who walked the same path.
　Not wanting to be outdone by such a person, I initially tried to dismiss it as a bad example to inspire me.
　However, as it turned out, Lakra's lack of ability was unremarkable.
　He was constantly making mistakes, could not perform his assigned tasks satisfactorily, and did not even seem to have the will to reflect and improve.
　Oh, this is someone I can't compete with.
　I thought to myself, "If I pay attention to that thing, it will disrupt my pace, and I'm better off because of it, and it's only an obstacle to my ambition.
　I thought that, and for a while, I kept Lakra out of my sight.
　The others distanced themselves from Lakra as well.
　As a practicing priest, I knew that it was my duty to improve myself and that it was useless to get involved with those who interfered with that.
　He improved himself every day, thinking only of becoming a priest as soon as possible and becoming active in the world as a follower of Yugra.
　With like-minded friends, I worked hard day and night, training and waiting for the day to come.
　However, the first of our classmates to become a priest was Lakra.
　Everyone was dumbfounded, and there were those who were not satisfied and appealed to Lord Ukka.
　I was one of them, but Master Ukka only explained to me that he had a good reason.
　Even after he became a priest, Lakra did not change, in fact, his failures became more noticeable.
　Why did he do it, why did he do it better than us?
　I was so angry that I once challenged Lakra to a duel.
　But he ran away, saying that he was not good at fighting against others.
　My frustration piled up as I could not force Lakra, who was in a superior position, to fight a duel.
　I didn't even have the right to make that thing know its place.
　I had no choice but to become the same priest, and so I continued to improve myself.
　The humiliation of my training became a very painful memory.
　When I became a priest the following year, Lakra had been removed from priestly duties.
　The Archbishops judged him unworthy of the job because his failure had caused so much damage to the wards that protected the cathedral.
　Lakra was sent on a mission to defeat demons in the vicinity of the Mejis demon world.
　Everyone thought that it would be difficult for him to survive in this life-threatening battle.
　With no one to vent my pent up frustrations to, I went into a tailspin for a while.
　With the help of my friends, I was able to straighten out my ways and finally forget about that thing.
　After that, I was able to gain practical experience and move on with my life.
　He joined Morgana to be able to act more broadly, and his performance there was satisfactory.
　He became both a priest and a rank 2 adventurer.
　Everything was going well, or so I thought.
　Suddenly, Lakra appeared in front of me, and with a letter of recommendation from the king of each country, she stepped into my realm.

"Long time no see, Lakra.


"Uh, ......, who are you again?

　Lakra is no different than she was before, her body has grown and matured, but her irritating attitude has not changed one bit.

So, you don't even remember your classmate's face.
Oh, my God, you're my classmate!　I'm sorry, I haven't been socializing much. ......
I'm sorry, I don't socialize much. " "If you have something to talk about, you can do so in the future. I'll explain the details of the test.

　Master Lytial interrupts.
　There will be no future, I've been the one to fall behind before, now it's the other way around.
　Then there is no need to show any mercy, I will make sure that the fool who suddenly wants to be rank 2 never shows up in front of me again, I will show him the difference and make him understand his status clearly.

It will be a simple, all-out duel. When one of you admits defeat, or when I judge that there is a match, it is settled. There is no need to add or subtract, but intentionally killing or injuring your opponent is strictly prohibited. Are there any objections from either side?
No, sir.
I'm fine. Thank you.

　It is against the rules of dueling to intentionally stab a dying opponent, but accidents do happen.
　I may have a murderous intent growing inside me, but I don't intend to, and that won't give you time to regret it.
　I will drive you to the brink of death and instill fear into you once and for all.

So let the ...... begin!

　The only way Lakra has a chance to win is to surprise me and win without me having to do anything.
　It is very possible that he will launch some kind of surprise attack at the start of the game.
　First of all, I'm going to put up a ward around her. Although I can't see any magic seal stone on her clothes, I'm going to deploy it larger than usual.
　Even if she had a small magic stone hidden in the wards, it would not be effective.
　On the other hand, Lakra is ...... just staring at us with a dumbfounded face.
　You will find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.
　Either way, the protection is perfect.
　Normally, you can't shoot magic while warded.
　You can't shoot magic while warded because it will only spread inside the wards and self-destruct.
　But not me. I can manipulate magic remotely and contact the wards.
　Only my magic can penetrate the outside and create magic outside the wards.
　If you can't shoot magic inside the wards, shoot it outside the wards, simple as that, but it takes a lot of training to make it happen.

"Burn!

　Combining multiple spells, he shoots a flame at Lakra.
　After seeing this, Lakra set up a ward.
　Lakra, having studied at Yugra, knew that she could use warding.
　It is difficult to break the wards with fire magic, and as expected, the flames are blocked by the wards and cannot reach Lakra.
　But if the warding prevents this, then you're screwed.

Oh, my God, these flames: ......
Yes, the flame will continue to burn until the magic in it is exhausted!

　The flames wrapped around the ward that Lakra put up and continued to burn.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　The disadvantage of the wards you learn about in Yugra is that they can't be moved, and while they are strong, they consume a lot of magic to maintain.
　As long as the flames continue to burn, the wards must be maintained, and if they are maintained, they cannot be moved.
　If you run out of magic, that's the end of it. The only way to avoid this is to break the wards and instantly blow the flames away with magic.
　But that's not all these flames can do. If a certain amount of impact is applied, the magic contained in them will all combust at once.
　So if Lakra tries to break the wards and blow up the flames with magic, the area around her will explode.
　Now, do you want to act, or do you want to hold on until the magic runs out?

"Hmm, visibility is poor. Let's move.
What the hell is ......?

　What just happened? No, that's ridiculous.
　The way Lakra did it was to push and expand the ward that had been deployed with his hand.
　It was a cube, but by pushing it sideways, it became a rectangle.
　Then, Lakra moved by walking inside the expanded ward.
　The wards grew wider and wider, and then there was a point where the flames finally broke off.

"Wow, this flame is growing. Is this a good place?

　The flames fall to the ground and continue to burn in vain.

"It's insane to extend a solid warding!
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.　It will become brittle if you don't add more magic to it.

　Is that so, is that so?
　No, now is not the time to be thinking about that.
　Lakra avoided the flames, but that didn't mean the game was over.
　He was so caught off guard that he forgot to follow up.
　I knew that I could expand the wards, so I should have burned them as well.
　The more the wards grow, the more magic is needed to maintain them, and it's just a last ditch effort to speed up the loss of magic.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it.　I'm not sure what to do.

　Lakra is staring at me, is she going to attack?
　This place is protected by wards, and you can't break these wards with simple magic.
　Even if there is a spell powerful enough to break these wards, you can switch to evasion after you see how it builds.
　No, if you want to use a high-powered spell that takes a long time, you can win by hitting my flames first.

"What?

　You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this.
　I'm not sure what happened, I can't comprehend the situation.
　But there's no time to be complacent, you need to get up and get into a ...... stance immediately. .......
　I can't move my arm, no, I can't feel my arm.
　When I turned my head and looked, my arms were gone.
　Not just my arms, but my legs as well.


　Out of the corner of my eye, I saw an arm and a leg lying on the ground.
　It took me a while to understand, but I did.
　My limbs were cut off.
　A lot of blood is flowing from where my limbs used to be.
　There's almost no pain, which gives me room to feel fear.
　Oh, no, did you get attacked?
　The wards, they're gone.
　What did Lakra do, Lakra is .......
　Lakra is no longer looking at us, she's looking at Mr. Littoral.

Mr. Ritual, I think that cutting off the torso and neck will kill him. ......
"Yes, yes. It's a done deal!　I need you to stop the bleeding and treat Masetta immediately.

　I lost. Did I lose?
　I don't even know what they did to me.
　I don't even know what they did to me, but I'm losing all the blood in my body, I'm losing consciousness, and I can feel people gathering around me.
　Lakra was ...... Lakra was ...... bored and sighing.
