Iruki will be a successful wizard.
“I’ll be arriving in an hour.”
It was he who rose to the position of commander-in-chief of the Valkyrie leadership, where the best minds gathered.
A person who thinks like Ex Machina.
The gray matter organ contained within Iruki’s skull had the most outstanding function in the world.
The number of troops he moved exceeded 1 million elites, and the Archmage and Greatsword were no exception.
“I need to close my eyes.” “Please wake me up in 30 minutes.”
The house carriage, guarded by 200 certified second-class drivers, provided the highest level of comfort through a culmination of technology.
‘Is this really the right thing to do?’
Because it was a race against time, a quick decision was made, but questions still remained.
‘Now that the psychic realm is closed, the number of demons has become objective. Weapons of mass destruction are needed, but…
The weapon Iruki designed was an elemental bomb, which was first conceived during his time at Alpheas Magic School.
The power of magic would be far beyond that, and if not done, it would lead to the total destruction of humanity.
‘It’s a weapon that must have been made someday. If we don’t get rid of the demons, humanity will perish anyway.’
As I consciously let go of the tension, I felt so tired that the tip of my nose stung.
When Iruki’s breathing stabilized, Aromi, the leader of the training team, carefully flipped through the folders.
She had an intelligent appearance wearing horn-rimmed glasses and was actually a woman who led Jive’s think tank.
“The place we are currently going to is the dwarf ruins in the Arca Mountains in the southwestern part of Tormia Kingdom. A state-authorized archaeological excavation team is already conducting mining operations. There may be backlash, so please attach all documents.”
said the leader of the legal department.
“I can’t sue anyway. “The Kingdom of Tormia has already received approval.”
“That’s true, but…
it turns out that the excavation team was Iruki’s classmate.
“Cough! “Cough!”
When Iruki coughed, Aromi spread the blanket next to him and covered him.
“It’s gotten worse these days.”
Iruki suddenly opened his eyes, raised his upper body and covered his mouth with his hand.
“Whoa! “Kwaaak!”
Following the sound of heavy breathing, a bucket of blood leaked out between the fingers.
“Commander General!”
Aromi shouted, supporting her.
“Call the medic! hurry!”
“are you okay. “I want to go quietly.”
“It’s not possible. If the general’s condition is critical, I will make all decisions regarding emergency rescue. That includes the authority to decide to completely cancel the mission
.”
Iruki laughed bitterly with his bleeding mouth.
“But that won’t happen. Yes?”
Aromi, who had maintained a calm expression, revealed a gentle face and encouraged.
“So, get tested. “You are someone humanity cannot afford to lose.”
Only the thinking power of Ex Machina can confront Havitz, who is beyond probability.
However, Overdrive was still steadily eating away at Iruki’s life.
“I’m going in.”
The medical officer who was waiting in the auxiliary carriage got into the house carriage and examined Iruki.
Even while taking his blood pressure and checking his eye movements, Iruki was lying helpless.
If you stop overworking your brain even now, you might be able to enjoy a moderate lifespan like others….
‘Don’t worry, father. ‘I know what you’re going to say.’
Just as the extreme end of combustion is an explosion, Iruki intended to burn his life in an instant.
‘Please just hold on until the war ends.’
As Iruki’s eyes became clear again, Aromi lowered her head with a heavy heart.
‘thank you.’
It was the only thing I could say to him as he was about to die.
In the Arca Mountains, there are the remains of a dwarf race that flourished 2,000 years ago.
The handicraft skills of the dwarfs are known to be so precise that they surpass those of existing humans.
Because its artistic value was as great as its archaeological value, it was a given that a lot of money would be made once the excavation was successful.
“center! center! No, a little further to the side!”
A group of people were mining on a cliff 80 meters high and 320 meters wide.
They were all a team of wizards and had all attended the same school.
Grumble! Grumble!
A huge piece of equipment, 13 meters tall and weighing over 70 tons, was digging out the cliff.
The lower body had endless tracks, and huge drills were installed at the ends of the two arms attached to the human-like upper body.
“it’s okay! Dorothy! “Turn it back like that!” The woman riding the equipment was Dorothy, who had dropped out of Alpheas Magic School last year.
“Ugh! Goes!”
The mimesis ability to share the mind with the wizard greatly improved the work efficiency of the manipulation.
Kakakakakaka!
As the two huge drills rotated, sparks flew and an afterimage of light resembling flower petals appeared before my eyes.
“cheer up! Hickory No. 19!”
Hickory No. 19, which was created through repeated improvements, adopted Dorothy’s spirit and increased output even more.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
At that time, a blunt impact was applied to the equipment, and the heavy body began to shake.
“stop! stop! “I’m stuck!”
Sabina, who once went to magic school with Dante, waves the stop flag.
“Oh shit!”
Dorothy hit the cockpit of the Hickory hard and came out of the aircraft with a frown.
“what? Is it iron ore again?”
“uh. Too much mineral content. “For some reason, I thought it was strange from the time they obediently gave me permission to work.”
The Arca Mountains have historically been a difficult area to mine.
“I’ll check.”
Closer, who majored in earth magic, approached Hickory No. 19’s drill.
The heat was enough to burn me.
“Pooh! It’s completely blocked. It will take two days to break through this. “How about attacking the first excavation site again?”
Canis, who joined the excavation team as an archeology major, approached with Arin in tow.
“That’s not allowed. “If we continue to drill with such ignorant equipment, the dwarf ruins will be destroyed.”
Dorothy raised her eyebrows.
“hey! I thought you said it was an ignorant piece of equipment! “If I put my mind to it, I can even play with this!”
“No way. “If historic sites or relics are damaged, it’s a waste of time anyway.”
Closer used his expertise to examine the area of the cave.
“Once I get through this point, I think it will go down easily, right? “Judging by the flow, it wasn’t deeply buried.”
“Then let’s smoke a cigarette and try again.”
Dorothy lit a cigarette and jumped from a height of 10 meters.
Even though the war broke out and they dropped out, there was no need to worry about them getting hurt as they were wizards.
“Wow, nothing is easy. “I even gave up on school and took my life on the line.”
Dorothy threw her hard hat on the floor and blew out a long puff of cigarette smoke.
Because she was not wearing a bra, the chest area of her black singlet was protruding.
Closer said, holding a bucket of water.
“Still, we’re better off. Have you heard about Frings? “I heard you became a magic kindergarten teacher after graduating from school.”
Sabina frowned.
Frings, who majored in freezing magic, was remembered not only for his outstanding skills but also as a pervert with severe voyeurism.
Dorothy burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha! kindergarten teacher? Actually, considering his personality, it might be a perfect fit.”
Wouldn’t you be flaring your nostrils and asking the children you teach what they ate for breakfast today?
“We have changed a lot too. “If you think about it, school was really fun.”
Dorothy recalled her senior year.
The interpersonal battle, the scramble, the royal number fight, the fierce graduation exam, and…
She, who was thinking of someone with a faint smile, broke out of the recollection and shouted.
“ruler! Let’s start again! Let’s do it right this time!”
“Good!”
When everyone returned to their respective seats, Arin looked into the distance and said.
“Look over there, Canis.”
A huge house carriage accompanied by an armed escort was speeding down the hill.
“what? Is it a kingdom?”
“No, the mark is different?”
As the entire excavation team cast air magic to compress the air, the carriage’s seal was clearly visible.
“sanctuary?”
It was also the seal of the combat unit Valkyrie
.
While I was waiting with an unusual expression on my face, the carriage stopped, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake.
The door opened and Aromi got out.
She, who was watching the excavation team with a neat appearance, raised her glasses and walked like a cat.
“hello. “My name is Aromi, and I am the Executive Secretary of the Strategic Command of the Valkyrie Unit under the Holy War.”
Closer said bluntly.
“That’s a good name. What’s going on?”
Aromi was reluctant and handed out the official document.
“This is a letter of approval from the Kingdom of Tormia delegating the authority to excavate the Arca Mountains to Valkyrie as of now. Please check and sign.”
“Well…
Canis shouted before Dorothy could speak.
“What’s wrong?”
He roughly snatched the documents and quickly checked the contract transfer details, which were about 10 pages long.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Then he threw the folder on the floor and aimed his gaze straight at Aromi.
“I couldn’t even find evidence of dwarf remains until I investigated. Now you are taking away the project we planned and started? “I absolutely cannot tolerate this!”
Aromi was calm.
“It has nothing to do with the dwarf ruins. This is a global issue that transcends national boundaries. “I will compensate you.”
“What kind of person are you to put the value of ruins in money? The dwarves’ relic says, “Wait a minute.”
Dorothy, the leader of the team, stepped forward.
“You said it had nothing to do with the ruins, right? So what is Valkyrie going to do here? Are you saying you want to build a military base?”
“It’s confidential.”
“I guess so. But shouldn’t we at least come up with a convincing argument?”
“Why should I do that?”
Aromi didn’t give herself an excuse to linger.
“The Temple requested it and the Kingdom granted it. This is not a matter for a single private excavation team to step forward. Please stop leaving.”
This time Dorothy couldn’t stand it either.
“Who are you? I need to meet with the chief executive. “Isn’t the chief of staff the decision maker?”
“I’ll say it again…
“It’s me.”
Before Dorothy could finish speaking, Iruki got out of the carriage and approached them.
“This Iruki?”
I heard that he left Tormia through the wizard community, but I never thought I would see him in a place like this.
“A long time.”
Following Iruki, 40 knights formed left and right to guard him.
As wizards, they knew better than anyone who was an expert who was rarely seen in society.
Sabina asked.
“What happened Iruki?”
Aromi said, stepping aside.
“If you are also a citizen of Tormia, please be polite. “He is the commander-in-chief of the Valkyrie unit under the temple.”
“Total military?”
Closer blinked.
“So you’re the captain?”
Iruki said casually.
“okay. I feel sorry. “I don’t want to interrupt what you’re doing, but we need to use this place.”
As a wizard, Sabina understood the situation in an instant and asked earnestly.
“So you’re saying you knew everything? Then you probably know our personalities well, right? “Ah, even if it’s a holy war, it’s too much to steal someone else’s rice bowl.”
Dorothy also felt betrayed.
However, since it was Iruki and not anyone else, I suppressed my emotions and tried to talk.
“What are you trying to do here?” Dorothy’s eyes tightened.
“Okay, I understand. Since he is in a high position, he cannot even see us…
“We will make a very dangerous weapon.”
“Commander General.”
Iruki ignored Aromi’s signal.
“For that, we need special minerals. Investigation results show that they are buried in large quantities in this mountain range.”
It was clearly a confidential matter that should not be entered into enemy territory, and Dorothy’s mind became confused.
‘Iruki.’
The main character of my most precious memories from my school days.
