Magical aptitude 8 (general class)

Post Brave Man

I should have been faced with a shocking truth, but I remained curiously calm, wondering if there was anything wrong with Mike being a ghost.

Instead, I wondered if it was Mike.

Besides, this world is like a cartoon, and a ghost or two is not strange.

”Hmm, if you believe that, then I don't have a body...

”Was ...... shocked?

The fact that you can't perceive anything other than magic, including the five senses, and that your conversation was limited to telephonic speech, was considered among the possibilities. Amie's words are more of a fact checker.

And since he was cooler than me, I was getting cooler.

If I had to complain, I'd say he was more calm than I was.

But here's the thing.

I was going to help Mike and then get out of there: ......

The coffins lined up in the back that weren't supposed to be there derailed that plan.

I counted one, two, three, and seven in total.

That means there are seven classmates in there.

Not helping is not an option.

But the reality is grim.

My strength has grown since I became brave enough to carry one person, but there's no way I could carry all seven at once.

Besides...

”Hmmm, it's not safe to remove it, is it?

'About this magical device?　It's not supposed to come off easily to begin with. This magical stone is also quite pure, so it's not something that can be broken easily.

Whether it's a coffin or a magic stone with a microphone in it, it's something that takes courage to touch.

There are a lot of words written on it that I don't understand, and since a while ago, when that one lights up, the next one lights up, so I don't understand how it works.

I know it's universal that if you hit it it, it will break, but you don't want to break ...... and do something weird.

What do I do?

”I would recommend that you call for help outside, because there is no way I can help you in any way.

”Can't we just detonate it like we did before?

”If you ask if brute force is possible or impossible, it is. But it would be impossible to destroy with your magic. If you were to use my magic, it would be enough to create a new lake, can you control it?

I can't.

You can't take the option of blowing it up as easily as you did before.

For a moment, you think it would have been better to have escaped earlier, but then you shake your head and kick him out.

You've made your own decision, and you have to stick to it until the end.

You think to yourself, ”Hmmm, what are you going to do now?

”Hmm, don't people ever tell you you're stubborn?

”Nay, nay?

It seems to be . Now, Amy, it's not bad to say you can't do what you can't do. In fact, sometimes it's worse to insist that you can do what you can't do. You don't have to help us here and now. I would be dead. So there's less need to help us. And the boys in their coffins can have some reprieve. The danger is not immediate, the situation may change, but right now it would be best to regroup and rescue them.

”Yes.

To appease his spirit, Mike gently reminds him like a teacher.

It's true that I'm a stubborn person.

I guess I'm just a personality that needs to do whatever it takes to get through what I've decided to do.

Mike is right, you should come prepared to get away from here.

But maybe the place will change and your classmates and Mike will be in trouble.

There is no guarantee that you will be here again if I run away.

And most importantly, I can't just ignore it.

But I'm the brave one, so how can I help?　You can't put off people who are in trouble or need help because you'll help them later.

”...... brave. I don't have a good feeling about that name. Your idea of a brave man is strangely acceptable. Well, let me suggest a better plan.

”What's the next best thing?

”Always have more than one plan. It will help you. Now to retreat and try again is the best thing you can do for safety and certainty. Otherwise, the stakes are a little different, but the stakes are high. So it's the next best thing. Normally, I'd go for the best, but if you're a brave man, maybe it's time to try to grab the future you want.

I know you're calling me brave, but that's just an excuse, it's really my selfishness.

You'll be able to see that Mike is aware of this and sends you words as if he has no choice.

But despite his words, I can feel that he's enjoying himself.

Then you should go along with the story, like a child planning a prank, like the explosion just occurred.

Sometimes the best thing is to take the long way around. I don't know if this is the right time, but I'm going to show the girl who calls herself brave, Amy, that she may take a detour, but I'm going to show her a way out of the current situation. Are you ready?　I'm going to have you do something bigger than the explosion you just saw.

”......OK yo!

”Cheerful reply very good

If the future me, if he or she sees me at this time, he or she will think that this reply was a turning point.

”Time is short. Let's make this quick.

”Yeah!　What do I do?

”It's easy, now I'm going to let you breathe in my soul and take it in.

”ha?

What the hell did Mike say.

Soul-sucking?

”Rest assured, if you succeed in capturing it, I will be your guardian spirit. If you fail, I will take your body, but it's a gamble. Rest assured, I won't put up any resistance. So don't be afraid to try.

”No, no, no, you can't not care!

'But this is the fastest way to wake you up and get you through this, okay?　I will be on loan to your vessel from now on. I will give you my knowledge and my magic in exchange. And I will use it to get the boys in this place out. That makes sense.

I certainly think it's possible if what Mike says is true.

What worries me is that I don't know enough about it to know if it's good or bad.

It seems to me that taking a ghost inside my body would have some bad effects.

But the microphone in the magic stone in front of me has great magical power.

You'll certainly gain great magic if you let him in.

Huh?　I think this is more like the idea of a demon king than a brave man, isn't it?

Isn't a brave man a thing to be awakened by pulling out a legendary sword?

There are disadvantages, but there are also advantages.

In that case, there are

”Women have guts!　Mike!

'You're really spirited. Do you think women are this strong-minded nowadays?　I'm suggesting it, but I wouldn't normally do it. That's what happens when you get greedy in a situation like this.
