〔…… This way…… then do… that…… Ah… right……〕
Having put an end to one hellish ordeal, Earth smiled, his entire body brimming with magic power as he grasped sothing profound.
Staring intently at that sight……
“Wait…yeah, yeah… during that final battle over a decade ago, “that guy” …… recovered the massive amount of magic power he had used… that one…….”
“I rember now. That’s right…… Huh? Wait a second… Then, all the more reason, why Earth?”
Both Hiro and Mamu……
“Strippin’ every nerve bare, pushin’ ‘imself to the limit with razor‑sharp senses… oh, so that’s why ‘e drained the water out… but nah, even that alone ain’t enough to master that person’s technique. There’s sothin’ more important, innit……”
Even Hakuki had doubts.
A question for which there is no answer.
“With dical examination magic you can figure out the ‘number’ and ‘rough positions’ of all the magic holes in the body… but the ‘exact spots’, nah, you can’t pin ‘em down. That person once said… ‘If you don’t know the precise place o’ every magic hole, you’ll never catch the feelin’ of magic flowin’ out an’ in, the proper circulation.’…… One tiny slip o’ the needle an’ it’s all ruined. That’s why, when they fiddled with the Demon King Army soldiers to give ‘em more magic holes, ‘is Six‑Path Eyes were a must…… But Earth Lagann ain’t got no Six‑Path Eyes… nor any o’ the other Three Great Magic Eyes… and it ain’t like he’s been trained by Jamdi’el with that Heraldic Eye of hers…… so why then? Jamdi’el, you bleedin’ muppet… You’ve been livin’ with him for months! Why the bloody hell weren’t you there for such an important mont like this!”
At the sa ti, he was trembling.
〔Ah… hah~…… I’m glad I’m alive.〕
While making three of the world’s strongest fighters tremble, Earth, reflected in the sky, ended his training, and began to drink water, which he had completely abstained from until then, restoring not only his magic power but also the life to his parched body.
Then, Earth started running again.
Earth Lagann was born and raised in the Imperial City.
The Empire should be Earth’s holand.
As childhood friends who had grown up together in the Empire for over ten years, they should have known Earth better than anyone else.
However, ever since the Imperial Tournant, they had completely lost their grasp on who Earth was.
And even now, like this, they are shown an Earth they didn’t recognize.
〔It seems thou has made quite the accomplishnt.〕
〔Well, look forward to it at the upcoming tournant.〕
〔Very well, Show ! I’ve left thou to thy own devices, as thou wished, and I want to see the end of thy path.〕
He engages in a conversation with Jamdi’el, one of the legendary Six Supremacy, without backing down a single step.
After completing his water-draining training, Earth has returned to his forr fierce form.
No, having overco a personal hell, Earth is brimming with even greater confidence.
And at the sa ti, his everyday life also seems vibrant and full of life.
〔Hey, Earth!〕
〔Ora, we’re here! You’re going start working together with us again today!〕
〔Today is a school holiday, so we’re a little early, but…〕
〔Fuah~… sleepy…〕
Early in the morning, he ran around the city with Mortriage’s crew and trained with them.
〔Here we go, boys!〕
〔〔〔〔Oh!!! 〕〕〕〕
It seems to have beco a familiar sight in Cacretale, as townspeople call out to Earth and the others as they run by.
Training together, sweating together, pushing each other to the limit……
“Huh…… Hmm…… Ugh……”
“Oh……”
“…………”
Phianse, Fu, and Rebal looked at Earth and Mortriage’s crew with mixed feelings.
Originally, they should have been in that position……
〔I’ll be participating in the upcoming tournant. And I’m going to win. In other words, if that José cos out, I will fight José at so point. And I’ll beat him up. But I’ll also put your feelings in my fist.〕
And just as the four looked up to Earth, Earth viewed them not rely as students or as a ntor-disciple relationship, but as friends… no, as comrades……
〔We sweated together like this and we sipped the sa water.〕
He was about to fight while carrying that sentint with him.
Seeing that, the Phianse group……
“It might be too late to say this now, but… originally, we should have been the ones standing in that spot… I’m unbearably envious…….”
“Mortriage and the others… for Earth to speak to them like that… it’s just like the Earth who used to lead us around when we were kids…”
It was jealousy.
“Ever since we entered the Academy… Earth gradually beca more withdrawn… but instead of reaching out to him, we beca sowhat awkward… Ah… that’s right. If only we had been more there for Earth… if only we had…….”
Rebal, too, looked up at the sky and felt mixed emotions as he watched Mortriage and the others laughing and working up a sweat alongside the lively Earth.
It was Mortriage’s crew who… no……
“Hehehe, is this what youth is all about? But Earth and the others seed to be having so much fun back then~”
“Amae ran with Older brother, too!”
“Yeah, that’s right~. It kinda beca a local attraction, seeing you guys running through town, you know~”
“I rember it well too. They blended in so well in less than two months.”
“Yes, Little man, and Mortriage’s crew…… were running, weren’t they?”
“Hahaha, it’s embarrassing, but we’re still running now too!”
“Ora! I can run even more now!”
“I’ve gained a little more stamina……”
“I’ve lost a little weight!”
In fact, it felt as though this Cacretale might actually be a better ho for Earth than his native Empire.
And in a sense, that’s not wrong.
〔Ufufufu, this day has finally co, Earth.〕
〔It has.〕
〔In the interest of fairness, I can’t cheer for Earth alone, but I’ll be watching you closely! So, please show , won’t you?〕
The tournant Earth had been aiming for.
Under normal circumstances, those who knew the outside world might have dismissed it as nothing more than a “closed-off tournant of frogs in a well.” But that wasn’t the case at all.
“And so, this is it… Earth… He’s brimming with confidence, just like when we competed in the Imperial Tournant…”
“Yes. And it’s different from that ti. I’ve already heard the result, but… he fought through this tournant to the very end… unlike the Imperial Tournant.”
Now, everyone is interested in the outco of the tournant, and even those who have already seen it are looking back on it with excitent, their faces full of anticipation.
“Um…… still…….”
“Ufufu, but even so, Little man, in these days…”
And on top of that, Phianse and Sadiz……
〔So that’s the genius, José? Earth, what do you think?〕
〔He’s really unpleasant!!〕
〔…… No, I didn’t an that… Or rather, your voice is loud.〕
〔Hey, you! I can hear you!〕
〔Yeah. I ant for you to hear . A bunch of obnoxious mass-produced waste of space!〕
〔What!?〕
Facing José —whom he’d been trying to avoid as much as possible until now—and his entourage of girls……
〔You! What did you say… to the people I care about?〕
〔Didn’t you hear ? Then, one more ti―――〕
〔Shut――――〕
〔You shut up!!〕
〔Eh!?〕
〔I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna shut up today. And I won’t back down, I can’t give in.〕
He didn’t back down a single step.
〔So if you want to shut up… then shut up. In this tournant!〕
〔Ah … d … dear . Don’t you know that weak dogs bark louder?〕
〔Kuhahahahaha, are you stupid? Dude. This is the human world. Why are you bringing up matters of the dog world?〕
He was overwhelming him, brimming with confidence that there was absolutely no way he could lose.
“Th, this Earth… how… how cool…….”
“Ugh~, I really regret losing my mory back then… Ooohh, Little man, you’re sooooo hot!!!”
Phianse and Sadiz are completely captivated by Earth……
〔And now, I would like to launch this competition between 16 n who will determine the pinnacle of martial arts in this country! Please watch to the end!〕
No…… not just the two of them……
“Ufufufu! Mmm, Earth is so amazing! Are you watching, everyone? That’s Earth, the man I admire! He’s so cool! But that’s not all! Earth is even much, much, sooooooooooo much cooler!”
Kron, puffing out her chest and boasting, “Mufufu~” at the construction site.
“True, he’s definitely a guy who works really, really hard……”
“Oh, he’s cheeky, but he’s got guts too……”
“I thought that, since he’s the guy Krony has a crush on, he’d be so slender, prince-like heartthrob, but turns out he’s a rough-and-tumble fellow.”
The n working there had all been curious to see the man that Kron, who had beco quite popular with them, was so smitten with, but he exceeded their expectations, so no one could complain.
“Well shit, that guy… so that was the kind of training he was doing, Master?”
“Indeed… well, in hindsight… there existed a surfeit of unresolved queries pertaining to the lad…”
〔Will the sudden appearance of this cot be a bad on or hope for the future? All the numbers he produced at the dojo are top class in the rankings! An unknown powerhouse who even sparred with that strongest Machio! Now is the ti to show us what you’re really made of! The ‘Supernova’, Earth Lagann!〕
And not only Kron……
“Big brother, you’re so cool, you’re great! Ah~~~, seriously! I was actually thinking of going over to beat up that José guy for making fun of Big brother while he was drained of water, but ugh well, never mind!”
“This is a recording, so we can watch it over and over again later, right? I want to watch Brother’s story as many tis as I can. I’ll have to negotiate with Paripi later.”
“…… Honey…… ah, doing all this behind my back… Just how much more are you going to make fall for you before you’re satisfied?”
“Hah~…… Sir Earth…… you are far too gallant for mortal ken~”
“Whooooa~~~, my son-in-law is absolutely stunning~~~! Go, go, son-in-law~!”
“Hehehe, those are so nice, confident words…… But still…… My Lord…… that matter of his magic power recovery…”
“Hmm…… no doubt about it. Or rather, even Norja was shaken when she first saw that… Well, that’s fine. For now, let’s see this through to the end.”
Everyone in the Elf Settlent was having a great ti.
Well, not everyone……
〔Dear , I don’t like to stand out.〕
〔Then, I’ll end this in seconds.〕
The highly anticipated match between Earth and José is set to begin in the first round.
Not only the Elf Settlent, but the whole world is now on the edge of their seats, waiting with bated breath for the match to begin……
“Stop…… already……”
『…… ch, child …… compose yourself……』
“Right now, I’m the one who doesn’t want to stand out any more than this……”
Earth was curled up alone in a corner of the settlent, overco with embarrassnt.
