Episode 192 After Logan showed off his Auror skills, he attacked Luther Kyle extremely aggressively.
He didn’t have the confidence to maintain his clumsy aura for long.
Fortunately, Luther was also willing to deal with Logan head-on.
And the result.
Mandible. Mandible.
“Huh. This is a huge loss.”
Logan, completely exhausted, collapsed on the spot, breathing heavily.
Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and lay down completely.
And the giant who made him look like that was looking down at him with confused eyes.
“…It would have been much more difficult to fight in your own way without using Aurors.”
“I know. It’s still half-baked. So I should try using it in sparring. Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”
Logan, with a relieved expression, expressed his sincere gratitude.
In fact, my understanding of Aurors increased significantly after encountering Luthor’s strong Auras.
Of course, Luther’s expression after receiving that greeting was still confused.
“Half… It’s possible to use Aurors without being an Auror user. I would never have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it myself…” ”
…Are cases like mine rare?”
“It’s so rare! I’ve never heard of it!”
“Is it that much?”
“Huh…”
Luther shook his head as if he was dumbfounded and then suddenly asked with a sigh.
“Can you explain how to transform the Force into Aura?”
“Yes. It may not be perfect, but I have a rough feeling… But why are you asking that? Auror user.”
“Huh heh heh. That’s really what happened. This is ridiculous…”
“Yes?”
“…Originally, an auror is something that a force user uses instinctively based on the knowledge they gained while overcoming human limitations. It does not mean that they use it after understanding some theory.”
“Uh… then…?”
“There are very few Auror users who can explain the process of how the Force is converted into Aura! No, none of the people I know of at all, including your master!”
“…yes?”
Logan couldn’t help but be dazed by the unexpected words.
“Perhaps one day you will be able to objectively explain the process by which a Force user becomes an Auror user. And that is a much greater feat than becoming a superhuman at your age.”
“Is that so?”
He understood what Luthor was saying, but at least in Logan’s opinion, the minimum condition for creating this Auror was that he had to be able to handle the Force as precisely and sensitively as he had mastered the divine sword vision.
‘Just wait, then, to those who taught me the vision…’
Luther, who was excited as he saw Logan lost in thought as he thought of a new possibility, said as if urging.
“Of course, it may not work out. But the possibility is huge. So, hide your Auror status. At least, you must hide it from the humans of the Empire. Until you become a real Auror user.”
Because of that, Logan knew one thing.
That this big superman truly cares about himself.
“thank you.”
“what?”
“Thank you for your concern. And I will ask you to take good care of me until I return.”
“Hmm. Well, since I have a favor to ask from your teacher, it’s just something I have to do.”
Luther turns his head with a puzzled expression, as if asking when he got excited.
Looking at that, Logan smiled.
In fact, in my previous life, I didn’t know much about this superman who died during the civil war.
That’s why I didn’t show it on the outside, but I had concerns buried deep inside.
Why did Master give me the name Luther Kyle?
He could have refused, but why did Luther Kyle follow me?
There is even suspicion that following the move to the empire may be an intention to become a naturalized member of the empire.
But those worries were disappearing at this moment.
‘I may try to break your head from the front, but I’m not the type to betray you from behind.’
I was able to trust him more after just one sparring with him than after just a few days of companionship.
* * *
“Congratulations, my lord!”
“You are the youngest Auror user, no matter how much you are a prince….”
“It is a blessing for McLane’s kingdom.”
As Logan and Luther approached the camp, the knights watching the sparring from afar cheered in unison.
Logan said with a sullen expression while looking at those articles.
“I’m not an Auror.”
“…yes?”
“It’s not an Auror, it’s just a condensation of the Force Blade. Otherwise, I would have lost so vainly.”
The knights, who were excited as if it were their job, looked blank at the same time.
Seeing them like that, Luther, who followed them, drove in.
“It was a good tactic. However, it wasted a lot of power and was no match for real Aurors anyway. Don’t think about using tricks, but seriously work on your training and think about surpassing the level.”
“Yes, yes. I understand.”
What would the knights say if a superhuman other than the person involved is like that?
Although Viktor tilted his head with his red and blue eyes shining, the knights had no choice but to believe what they said.
It was a smokescreen for the two people to block unnecessary attention and rumors in the first place.
And from that day on, whenever we camped, Logan and Luther’s sparring continued like a daily routine.
Luthor, who was as strong as an iron wall, was a great stimulant to Logan with a style that was completely opposite to that of his teacher, and thanks to this, Logan was able to put aside his worries about his family and kingdom and focus entirely on his training.
Even with just a short period of training, you can feel your skills improving significantly.
It was exactly 3 days like that.
Before the first stop on the group’s route, Luther called Logan down, sat him down, and gave him serious advice, saying it was something he must hear.
“You’ve probably heard stories about the characteristics of superhumans, right?”
“Ah. I heard about the development of characteristics. It is something that makes a person evolve the moment they go beyond human limits. So, it becomes the basis of what is called a superhuman.”
Wizards will be able to handle one more attribute that they could not handle, and Auror users will gain attribute powers and their bodies will be strengthened.
But I knew that it usually changes naturally…?
“Yes. Normal Auror users simply have their body, force, and senses amplified evenly, but there are some, like me and Wicken, who focus on one area and show extreme changes. Some people disparage it as an unbalanced awakening, but I think this is the case. “Awakening of consciousness is absolutely the best.”
Even though it seemed like a huge deal, Logan calmly listened to what he said.
“Of course, basic abilities are the most important. However, the body, senses, and force can be overcome to some extent through training. It is not me, but you can understand it well by looking at the case of the previous commander… no, the Duke of Jordan. Fight directly. Didn’t you see it?”
“…Does this mean that Lord Luther couldn’t do it?”
“Of course. That’s not easy either! Hmm!”
“….”
Logan’s eyes narrowed for a moment, but Luther continued.
“Ah, anyway, the important thing is this. Of course, it will be difficult, but the basic part can still be filled with effort. However, gaining attributes or other superpowers, or completely breaking away from the limitations of a normal body like me, is only possible at the moment of that leap. “It means that you do. And that new change makes an absolute difference from someone who didn’t get it. It means that you become more advantageous.”
“What about our teacher?”
“That’s it… That guy is just a monster!”
Luther’s advice, although somewhat unconvincing, was quite interesting.
but.
“I heard that it’s not decided by one’s own will?”
“Yes. People often say that it reflects one’s own life. I think that is also true to some extent.”
Luther, with a bitter expression, sighed and continued.
“I always wanted great power. The power to turn the world upside down like the giants of the mythical era. Fortunately, I had a lot of natural strength, so I practiced martial arts based on that and grew in that direction. As a result, when I awakened, I was over 50cm tall. “You’ve grown a lot. Of course, your muscles and bones have become much stronger.”
Does this mean that he was already 2m 50cm tall before awakening?…
To be honest, that was more surprising, but this time, Logan just listened in silence.
“It was great at the time, but after more than a dozen years had passed, I felt even more sad.”
huh? Doesn’t this contradict what you’ve been saying so far?
As soon as I thought so.
“I should have maintained my original physique and specialized this power into a form that compresses this body. If I had done that, I would have become much stronger than I am now. I wouldn’t have had to see Wicken, who only trusts his speed, making a fuss in front of me. .”
“Haha. That certainly could have happened.”
“Tsk. Don’t secretly laugh at me. Of course, as you said, awakening is not something I can do in the direction I want. The same goes for anyone. But I think you are different now.”
“yes?”
“I can see you becoming more and more familiar with Auror, so I feel like you can predict the moment of awakening on your own to some extent. Isn’t that right?”
Logan thought for a moment and then nodded.
“I’m not sure, but I think it’s possible to some extent.”
“Yes. That’s why I’m saying it. You may be able to artificially adjust the direction of the characteristics.”
“Hmm…”
Logan was lost in thought about Luther’s words.
And I had to admit that that made sense.
‘If you think of the process of becoming familiar with Aurors as a very slow awakening, it might be possible to lay the foundation in advance now.’
What others can’t do.
It was also the possibility that when he, who was originally proud of being the best in his class, became a superman, he could gain stronger wings than anyone else.
My heart was pounding.
“I don’t know what form the ultimate power you seek is. But from now on, draw a blueprint in your mind. Make a strong and specific wish for the direction you want to develop.”
Characteristic flowering.
It is the ultimate in seeking power.
It was an appealing and solid piece of advice, as it was something the teacher had never said.
So I had doubts.
“But why are you giving me this advice?”
To someone who once had his life ruined by someone who was his enemy.
“…Because I miss you.”
“yes?”
“I want to see the results of what it would be like if you, who compete on equal footing with me in your current state, develop your characteristics properly and become a superhuman. Maybe… the Auror Master from our kingdom’s legends might be born.”
I didn’t necessarily take Luther’s last words to heart.
Because it was a goal too big to think about now.
However, since his sincerity was fully felt, Logan also expressed his gratitude with all his heart.
“If that time really comes, I will be the first to show you.”
“Hahaha. Yes. But doesn’t that mean you’re going to beat me up first?”
“….”
“…Why are you avoiding my gaze? Hey! Hey man!!”
Being close enough to Luther Kyle to exchange jokes like that was just a bonus.

“That’s it…”
“Ruspelheim. It’s the largest city in the eastern part of the empire. It’s the closest big city in the empire to our kingdom.”
And it is also a city that becomes a bridgehead for wars of aggression.
Logan frowned, trying to swallow the bad memories that naturally came to mind.
However, Victor seemed to be just curious about big cities in other countries.
“It’s so big? “It’s comparable to him.”
“Yes. The population may be about half, but something else is more special.”
“Something else?”
“Yes.”
Since it was something that Viktor would naturally find out once he got inside, Logan didn’t give a detailed explanation and instead turned his eyes to the castle wall in the distance.
The capital of the kingdom . The sight of countless people coming in and out between the huge castle walls and open doors that were as large as those of Gran.
Only a bitter smile came out at the enormous floating crowd.
“…It’s still the same.”
If Kyle in the western part of the kingdom is the largest trading city in the kingdom, then this Ruspel. Haim should rightly be called the largest trading city on the eastern continent. It is
a large city with a permanent population of 500,000 and a floating population of well over 1 million, including merchants and tourists scattered throughout the eastern part of the continent.
And it is the largest city of the Grandia Liberation Front . This was Ruspelheim, a city full of love and hate where the independence forces worked the most along with Aserian, the capital of the empire. It
was also a necessary transit point to go from Grandia to Aserian, the capital of the empire.
Only in my previous life did I know it better than the residents. It was a city, but…
“I need to make sure I check what it’s like now.”
“Yes?”
“…No, let’s go. “I plan to stay there for at least three days.”
“Sir. “I heard you’re busy with the way to go, right?”
“This is the schedule I made with that in mind. Don’t worry.”
Logan slowly approached the gate while receiving questioning looks from those around him.
At the end of the long procession, he arrived at the gate.
“An invitation from His Majesty the Emperor Hua! Now, please wait a moment!!”
Less than an hour has passed since the driver who was checking with a bored expression ran inside with a surprised expression on his face.
“Ahahaha! It is an honor to serve you. My name is Dmitri, the mayor of Ruspelheim. Please eat inside. I will guide you personally.”
The group couldn’t help but be confused by the unexpected appearance of the person and his extreme attitude.
