Hard Work Will Never Betray Me (WN) - Chapter 147

In the silent atmosphere, with no one saying a word, I move closer to Christophe. He had hit a thick tree and was lying there, covered in blood.

“I’ll never be able to fight as a mage again with my body like this.”

After being hit by my “lightning bolt,” Christophe had lost his right arm from the shoulder and his leg from the knee down. His ribs, hip bone, pelvis, and other parts of his body were also crushed, and he will probably never be able to walk properly again.

“Well, you should be thankful I didn’t kill you.”

Even though he is a rebel, he cannot be immediately put to death. If possible, I will incapacitate him, bring him back home, hold a trial, and punish him. For the officials of the imperial government, which calls itself a civilized country, this seemed to be the preferred way to go about it.

The Count Blanche was either to be exiled or sent to prison. Even if they disowned Christophe, they would still be responsible for the rebels from their own family.

Marie approached and looked at the broken Christophe and said, ”

“I am sorry. I forced you to do the dirty work.”

I did it because I wanted to.,”and you don’t have to worry about it.

　Marie stood there with her long white hair tied loosely in half, her face looking as if she had been possessed. The face was somewhat peaceful, as if the possession had vanished.

　　　　　✳︎

After casting a recovery spell on only the vital parts so as not to at least get not dead, and rolling Christophe, who we decided to restrain and leave alone for the rest of the day, into an iron cage that Leon (who is good at steel spells) had prepared in a hurry, we called it a day.

　Our spirits are not strong enough to hold a match right after an incident like this. In a slightly gloomy atmosphere, we prepared for dinner.

　While we were eating the meal that Marie and Lily had prepared so skillfully, Hans asked me, breaking the silence.

“Um, …… Eberhard. I don’t know if this is the right thing to ask in this kind of situation, but ……, can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Hans? – Sure, what’s up?”

“The “lightning bolt” skill …… that Eberhard used to defeat Christoph just now. It looked meek or …… not that strong, but why did it have such great power?”

“Ah, “lightning.””

　I looked around and saw that everyone around the table was looking at me and paying attention to our conversation.

“I was wondering about that, too!　Wasn’t it powerful?””

“I’m curious, too. I have no idea how they can make it so powerful.”

Me too. How complicated is this magic formula?”

“I want to know too. ……!’

　Some of them leaned forward to ask. The intensity of the question was so great that I was a little taken aback.

I’m so curious about ……?”

　The trainees nodded in unison. I had no choice but to reveal the seeds of the “lightning.”

　 　 In addition, since we are all trusted friends in training, I thought it would be a good idea if my skill could be used as a reference for something.

. First of all, there are three elements necessary for this skill. The first is the power of magic to create an explosive force. Second, the ability to control that magic with great precision. The third is the instantaneous power to make them work.

I explained the concept and background of developing “Thunderbolt.

“The ‘lightning bolt’ is more than just a powerful shockwave, It is an advanced spell that requires extremely precise manipulation of magic power. First, in order to increase its power, the magic power is developed at the maximum speed that can be achieved by the magician. Finally, based on the structural information obtained, adjust the speed of the shockwave to the maximum speed you can generate to increase its power. Finally, based on the structural information obtained, the magic power is adjusted to the optimal waveform and speed for destroying the target, and then struck. …… requires very precise manipulation of magic power, and if you don’t have contact with the target directly, you can’t understand the structure in the first place, so if there is any distance between you and the target during the attack, the effectiveness of the attack will be significantly reduced. The worst that can happen is that it becomes less effective than a regular “shock bullet”. If it misses the target, it’s a “ska,” but if it hits the target, it’s an absolute destroyer, literally a special attack.”

In addition, the time between the moment the fist touches the enemy for observation and the moment it adjusts to the optimal shock wave for destruction and releases it is just a moment. In that split second between the time the fist contacts the enemy and the time it swings out, it requires a control of magic power that is infinitely more difficult than any other magic I have ever learned.

I hope everyone understood how difficult this skill was to perform.

I saw that the trainees were all looking at me in amazement. Even Marie was staring at me, without blinking an eye.

“What’s going on?

　Say something!　When I said that, everyone finally rebooted and started talking about what they thought of this .

” such a sophisticated thing was done in that split second.”

‘It’s impossible,……. No, it’s not that I don’t believe it,…… but it’s just unbelievable .”

I’m …… sorry to say, but you’re way ahead of us in magic skill.

“Even I would need years of training to do something like that. you had done ….. you are seriously starting to resign from the human …… race. ……”

‘Huh?　I’m not sure how I feel about that.’

　I thought Marie would be able to do just as well, if not better than the me . ……

　In the end, we ended up just bragging about how great my spell was, and dinner was over.
