'Show me how to successfully defend against it. I don't want Val to be too busy.

If Meena can't prevent it, Val, who watches over the two of them on the ground, will have to do something about it.

The black light from Jurgen's two hands lightly exceeds a hundred.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

The only thing that matters is the fact that it's not the same. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it than just a magic bullet.

Jurgen marvels.

If you wanted to prevent his destruction with mere magic bullets, you would have to compress a considerable amount of magic power to increase its strength.

Meena's skill to create that in a single breath and more than a hundred of them is astounding.

''That's exactly what I'm talking about, Akira Yagami. Then let's get a little serious.''

The black bullets that Jurgen shoots out exceed five hundred and are faster than birds.

Meena cancels them all out without a care in the world.

''Ho?　Then let's turn it up a bit more challenging.

Happily, Jurgen creates a number in excess of a thousand and launches it at twice the speed he did earlier.

Meena offsets it nicely again.

It was a repetition of an extremely simple task for them, but Otto and the others looked so caustic and tense that they were pale and unable to speak.

'How great is that?'

Otto eventually asks Val fearfully.

'Yeah?　An attack that could be kicked off by at least a few thousand troops, I guess. ...... It's starting to escalate gradually, and it's starting to become an offensive that could obliterate the imperial capital. It's time to stop.

He said it like it was nothing, which made Otto shudder.

Without even realizing it, he kicked the ground and moved in between Meena and Jurgen.

Completely caught off guard, their attacks flew in from left and right, but Val quite normally nullified them all.

''It would be appropriate to stop them in this area. It was beginning to exceed the extent that one castle was about to be destroyed by now.''

Hmm, yeah.

Jurgen responded with a look of coming to himself.

Apparently, he was enthusiastic about it before he knew it.

''So?　What do you think?　How's my arm?

'If it were now, it would be at a level where all Yagami Teru could do it.

Meena evaluates without reservation.

'But isn't that a fair standard for an instructor role?　What did Master Val think?

'I think what's more important in the instructor role is the ability to teach, rather than the ability to do so.

At her question, Val said the truth, causing her and Jurgen to roll their eyes.

'You're right, but that's not something I'm going to say now, is it?

Jurgen laughs at his apprentice, saying he's still the same.
