It reminds me of the battlefield of the Fourth War of Heroes.
　The Lucian Empire was also involved in that war. I don't know them very well, but I know how they fight.

　The army of the Lucian Empire is a combination of simple soldiers and cold-hearted commanders.
　The abilities of the soldiers are easy to understand, and they often specialize in a certain skill depending on the situation. The soldiers on the front line are thoroughly trained physically and mentally, and the spies they send into the enemy's country are so skilled at acting that they will commit suicide without fear when the time comes.

　The Lucian Empire can be said to be a nation that is good at training experts (・・・・・・).
　Especially in the war, the commander's skill was highly valued. With a large number of experts, their operations were solid and always yielded reliable results.

　However, on the other hand, their weaknesses are exposed when the operation goes wrong.
　Normally, experts are sent to battlefields where they can make the most of their specialties, but if the mission goes wrong and they find themselves in a completely misguided situation, their localized skills are of no use.

　Furthermore, while the soldiers of the Empire are obedient to orders, they are also not very good at making personal decisions because they regard their commanders as absolute. It is no exaggeration to say that soldiers who lose their heads will be weakened at once.

　To put it simply, the only way to fight the soldiers of the Lucian Empire is to crush their heads and confuse them.

Let's go to ...... and look for the heads.

　The number of intruders we could see was four. There are probably ten heads at most.
　Even a small unit should have a leader. We'll find him first.

　--Is that it?

　Five minutes later.
　I hid on the roof of the school building and found what I thought was the leader of the enemy.
　A tall man in a cloak. Beside him is a soldier who seems to be his bodyguard. The two of them were always on the move.

　The tall man suddenly reaches inside his cloak and pulls out a 'communication paper' from inside.

"Have you finished your work?

　Apparently, he is communicating with the others.

"Team B is lagging behind. Go help them.

　With that, the man cut off the communication.
　And then he's off again, heading somewhere with his bodyguard by his side.

　--Is it impossible to separate the two of them?

　They probably know their weaknesses.
　The man who answered the call is probably the leader of the unit, but there's another man standing by to protect him.

　But no matter.
　It's not only the Lucian Empire that can make experts.

　--Rage.

　Circulate magic power throughout your body to greatly improve your physical abilities.
　Immediately afterwards, he quickly closed in on the duo.

What?

Who are you--

　At the same time that the two men turned around, he swung out his magic blade, which had been stretched thin by the materialization.

"What?

　I'm not sure what to say.
　The other man narrowly avoids it by bending down, but he may have been upset and lost his stance.

"But, student!

　The intruders were astonished to see me wearing the uniform of the Builders Academy.
　I slammed my palm into the nose of the startled man and grabbed him by the chest.

"Don't lick me!

　I'm not licking you. That's why I'll deal with you quickly.
　I avoided the kick of the counterattack and quickly swept the man off his feet and sent him tumbling. The man's body floated in the air for a moment as his foot was swept away. At that moment, my eyes met with the leader's across the floating man.

...... You're good at this.

　The leader of the group abandoned his companions and immediately began to flee.
　He must have been confident that he would not give up any information even if his companions were tortured. I admire your integrity, but I'm not going to let you off the ---- hook.

You can't run. We have the advantage of the land.

　He stomps his heel on the pigeon tail of the man who has fallen to the ground, knocks him unconscious, and chases after the fleeing man.
　I know the academy better than you. It's impossible to hide and get away with it.

　--Where's he going?

　He's going somewhere. I'm curious where he's going.
　Like me, the man who activated the "toughness" jumped over the bushes with a quick movement and entered the warehouse where the festival equipment was stored.

　As I followed him, considering the possibility of a trap, I suddenly saw a large shadow descend from above me.

"...... 'Wingboard'?

　The man who had taken the magic tool for flying smiled triumphantly as he passed me.
　The man glides away from me.
　It's not good if he runs away from the school.

It's no use. ......

　If I had a BF28 at hand, I could have easily defeated him with a "sniper".
　But I'm a student now. I don't have the weapons the agency provided me with.

　So I've learned to replace it.
　I knew it would come in handy someday, but I never thought it would come so soon.

The Barrier.

　Deploys a wall at your feet to prevent all magical attacks.


　By nature, barriers are vulnerable to physical impact. However, as I am a genius at compression, I can compress the barrier to the limit and increase its hardness.

　The compressed barrier, instead of being smaller, is more durable and cannot be broken by half-hearted impact.
　I used it as a foothold and ran up into the air.

What?　In the air...?

　The man's eyes widened as I used the barrier as a foothold to run through the air one after another. The man's eyes widened as he saw me running through the air using the barriers as footholds.

　--Let's call it "Aerial".

　I'll call it.
　This magic, based on Professor Sylphia's idea, seems to be more versatile than I imagined.

"Aah!

　A kick to the back of the man's head knocks him off the wingboard.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time and money.

"Ugh, .......

Answer the question.

　I approached the moaning man and asked.

How many more of you are there?

"I don't know. I don't ...... know that.

　I knew he wouldn't answer anyway.
　Interrogation and torture take time, and that's not my job right now.

Who are you, ...... not just a student, ......?

I'm just a student.

　He slams his fist into the man's stomach and knocks him out.
　Who's going to take care of this? The quickest way is to ask Chris, but it might be better to report it to the student council, which is responsible for security in the school.

　Just then, I heard a noise from nearby.
　I looked over and saw two men looking at me in alarm. The remnants.

"Shit!

　They saw the man fall at my feet and turned on their heels with a fierce tongue-lashing.

We can't let them get away.

　At this speed, they'll catch up soon enough.
　The next moment, there was a violent roar in front of me.

That was ......?

　The atmosphere was shaking, as if some kind of large-scale magic had been invoked.
　It seems that something was released from above the heads of the agents. The two men who had taken the direct hit were slumped to the ground.

　As I squinted at the rising dust, I noticed a figure standing there.

"What?　Who the hell are you?

　The man there was a red-haired man wearing the uniform of the hero department.
