Episode 10: Barrier magic seems to be useful

It’s barrier magic this time?

I can tell what it's used for from the name, but how do I know if it’s active?

Use “Barrier magic”.

——Nothing happened.

Did it fail?

When I tried to use it again,

"Wow! I can't believe Yuki finished the practical test so quickly!"

"Oh, wait, Aleria"

Bam

"Ow!--That hurts! There shouldn't be a wall there!?"

"eh?"

Aleria was bounced off as if she hit something.

Judging by her movement, there seems to be something like a wall.

Is it the barrier magic?

It seems very useful, but it's a problem if my friends can't get close.

<< You can set a password for "Barrier Magic" >>

Password …… Does that mean if I set it, my friends will be able to enter?

Alright, let's set it to "Open sesame".

"Aleria, say open sesame."

"Eh? Open sesame ... huh!? The wall is gone!"

Success.

<< The secret word only needs to be known by the other party, and there is no need to say it >>

You should have told me earlier, I won't say it next time.

"I've kept you waiting. Let's go back."

I pat Aleria's head.

Aleria waited for me all this time, even though it ended relatively short timequickly. It would've been better to wait at the inn, but that's not completely safe ...

"... Huh ... no, it's fine."

"What happened? Do you have a fever?"

"No! I'm fine!"

"Hm, okay."

*

We came back to the inn.

I'm taking a shower to wash off the sweat for the time being.

Since fighting Regulus I've had this thought, Perhaps --- "Sage" is unexpectedly strong?

The sage in this world, may be just as strong as it was in the game.

It may not be as strong as a hero, but it's certainly strong enough for an adventurer.

For now, let's sort out my current skills.

————————————————————————

Name: Yuki Matsuzaki Lv.1

Class: Sage

Skills: "System operation" "God's blessing" "Climate operation" "Continental common language" "Barrier magic"

HP: 97795/97795

MP: 216950/216987

————————————————————————

After the shower, I decided to try the "system operation" skill I haven't tried yet.

The other skills were quite useful after all. However, I haven't tried "system operation" because I don't understand the meaning from the text.

"Hm, my MP decreased a little ... maybe back then?"

When I used the magic sword Berserk, I remember having the same feeling as when I touched the magic crystal.

Perhaps the sword drained my MP.

..... But it's not something to worry about since the amount drained is low.

I think I get why it's called a "magic sword".

I finished showering and changed clothes. If you wear the same clothes for two days, of course you'll want new clothes ...

They're dirty and smell.

With my first reward, buying clothes should be my highest priority. ……Let's do that.

"Aleri... she's not here"

Seems I'm the only one around right now.

Aleria went shopping for food. I wanted to go with her but she said, "Yuki is tired," and left alone. 

It's a bit strange for us not to be together, I'm worried after all.

If she doesn't come back in a little while, I'll go looking for her.

It's okay if we meet on her way back, just as I was thinking that,

"Yuki, I'm back!"

She came back with a cheerful voice. I pat my chest in relief, now l can try "system operation" without fear.

"Welcome back, Alleria"

"Your Majesty, I'm here to report."

"Why, what is it this time"

"It's about Matsuzaki Yuki."

"That kid again ... Did you find his corpse?"

I put my hands on the guild so that he wouldn't become an adventurer. When it comes to execution, there has to be a good reason so I thought it would be better it if he died on his own.

"It seems he has passed the magic test and the practical test .... It was reported that in the practical test he had a complete victory against Regulus. If he clears tomorrow's test, he'll officially become an adventurer. "

"What !? That kid was so strong!"

"What do we do ..."

"I don't admit it...! Like hell I will! What happens to my dignity if the people know I kicked out such a valuable human resource by mistake!"

“…………”

" …There's only one thing to do. We'll use the assassin unit in his final exam"

"But, to use them so openly ..."

The guard gets confused.

Yuki didn’t sin at all. He wasn’t hostile to the kingdom, It was unheard of to send  the assassin unit against ordinary people.

By the way, the assassination unit is a special unit of Knights created to face heroes.

They created a powerful unit by remodeling human bodies to be so powerful that even the braves’ high power can be countered if they rebel.

Of course, human body modification is a clear violation of international law, so it’s been kept secret.

Actually, the unit has never sortied, as no brave rebelled thus far.

"It won't be a problem, all It takes is just one eagle stamp."

"Yes, but what about deaths during the test ..."

"Do it. Do you understand?"

"As you say!"
