先日、ギルバートにワイバーン討伐に参加しないようにと釘を刺されたが、レオルドはどうしても我慢が出来なかった。
なにせ本物のワイバーンを見られるのだから。
しかし、やはりここは現実なので危険な真似は出来ない。騎士団に混じってワイバーンを
流石にワイバーン見たさに死地へと行く勇気はレオルドには無い。だから、レオルドは諦める以外無かった。
「ふんむ......ワイバーンは見たいけど、ギルバートの言うとおり大人しくしておくか」
魔法書を片手にレオルドはベッドに寝転ぶ。いつもならば、ギルバートと組み手を行っているのだが今日はギルバートが出かけており、やる事がない。
自堕落にベッドでゴロゴロと転がりたい所だが、こんな姿を見られたらギルバートに何て言われるか分かったものではないとレオルドはベッドから起き上がる。
自室を出て、廊下を歩くレオルドの視界にシェリアが映る。シェリアは初日に顔を合わせた以降は交流はない。ギルバートが仕組んだ事ではなく、シェリアがレオルドを避けていた。
シェリアは完全に油断していたらしく、レオルドの顔を見るとあからさまに嫌そうな顔をした。
(う......キモがられてる......仲良くしたいんだけど無理だよな~)
遠目からでもはっきりと分かるシェリアの態度にレオルドは心の中で溜息を吐く。進行方向にシェリアがいるのですれ違うのだが、レオルドは特に何も言わずシェリアも頭を下げるのみだった。
「はあ~よかった。思わず顔に出ちゃったけど、何も言われなかったから気がつかなかったようね。次も気を付けなくちゃね!」
悲しい事にシェリアの態度はバレバレであった。真人の記憶が宿っていなければレオルドに何をされていたかは分からないが、以前までのレオルドならば容易に想像がつく。
レオルドに遭遇した事は運が悪かったと思うシェリアだったが、失敗を悟られなかったのは幸運だったと上機嫌になって仕事に励んだ。
レオルドはいつもギルバートと組み手を行っている庭に出ると、魔法の練習を始めた。最初は土属性の魔法で、穴を掘っては埋めるといった作業を繰り返している。もっと、派手な魔法をと最初の頃は考えていたが、ギルバート、バルバロト、二人と戦っている内に考えが変わった。
勝つ為なら手段は選んでいられないと。だから、ギルバートやバルバロトと鍛錬を行う時、小さな窪みや突起を地面に発生させて体勢を崩そうと試みた。
しかし、ギルバートは伝説の暗殺者でバルバロトはゼアト一の騎士。そう簡単に引っかかるような相手ではない。
ただ、発想については二人とも称賛してくれたのでレオルドは無詠唱かつギルバートやバルバロトに通用するだけの技術を身に着けようと必死なのだ。
しばらく続けていたが、レオルドは切り替えて水属性の魔法を発動させる。水の球、水の矢、水の針といった三つの形だ。
ゲームではアクアボール、ウォーターアロー、ウォータースピアと安直な名前で呼ばれている魔法だ。どれも基本的に敵へ撃ち放つ魔法だが、ゲームだと序盤以降は使わなくなる。消費魔力は少ないから便利ではあるが威力は高くない。
なので、序盤のみで役目を終える。中盤以降はさらに強力な魔法を覚えるからだ。
そもそも、一つならば可能かもしれないが三つも制御するというのは相当に難しい。仮にシェリアが試したとすれば、たちまち制御が出来ずに暴発させてしまう。
レオルドの才があって成せる技だ。
ただし、上には上がいる。ゲームでは全ての属性を操る存在がいたので、当然この世界にもいるわけだ。
しかし、レオルドも天才の部類には入っている。ただ、今は誰も評価は出来ていない。まだ、未完成な技術なのでレオルドは隠している。
集中が切れたレオルドは大きく息を吐いて、その場に座り込む。維持していた魔法は霧散して地面が濡れた。
詠唱を破棄して魔法名を紡いだレオルドの視界に雷が落ちる。勿論、十分な距離をとっているのでレオルドに危険はない。
「いつ見ても雷はすごいな~」
呑気な事を言ってはいるが、今の一撃が普通の人に直撃すれば感電死は免れない。レオルドが先程唱えた魔法はゲームであれば中盤で習得できる魔法であった。
ちなみにレオルドはこの魔法をギルバートに使ったことがある。最初は躊躇っていたのだが、落雷を簡単に避けるギルバートの規格外っぷりに躊躇う気持ちは薄れていったが。流石は伝説の暗殺者である。
だけど、レオルドはそれ以降の組み手では雷属性の魔法は使っていない。やはり、ゲームでレオルドが多用していたからか雷属性の魔法は今の時点でも他二つの属性よりも得意なのだ。
ならば、優先するのは他二つとなっている。ただ、やむを得ない場合は雷属性の魔法を使うようにしている。その機会が訪れなければいいのだが、ゲームでは語られない場所にいるレオルドは近い内にその機会が訪れるとは思いもしなかった。
Ch 21
The other day, Gilbert had warned him not to participate in the wyvern defeat, but Leorde just couldn't resist.
After all, he would be able to see the real wyverns.
However, this was reality, and he couldn't do anything dangerous.If  he  want to join the knights and see the wyverns, it is the same as going to the place of death.
Leoldo didn't have the courage to go to a place of death just to see a wyvern. So, he had no choice but to give up.
"Hmmm ...... I'd love to see a wyvern, but I think Gilbert's right, I should be quiet."
Leorde lay down on the bed with a magic book in  his hand. Normally, he and Gilbert would be training , but Gilbert was out today, so he had nothing to do.
I('d like to just roll around in bed and be self-deprecating, but I don't know what Gilbert would say if he saw me like this, so I get out of bed.)
As he leaves his room and walks down the hallway, he sees Shelia. She hasn't interacted with him since the first day they met. It was not something that Gilbert had orchestrated, but Shelia was avoiding Leoldo.
Shelia was completely caught off guard, when she saw Leoldo's face, she looked blatantly disgusted.
(Uu...... c ir's reeped me out...... I want to get along with you, but it's impossible~)
Shelia's attitude was clearly visible even from a distance, and Leoldo let out a sigh in his heart. Shelia is in the direction they are going, so they pass each other, but Leorde doesn't say anything and Shelia just bows her head.
"I'm so glad. I couldn't help but notice it on your face, but you didn't say anything, so I guess you didn't notice. I'll have to be more careful next time!"
Sadly, Shelia's attitude was obvious. If  his past life memories were not inhabited, he would not know what Leoldo had done to  her , but he could easily imagine what Leoldo had done to  her before.
Shelia felt unlucky to have encountered Leoldo, but she was in a good mood and went about her work, thinking that she was lucky that he had not realized her mistake.
Leorde went out into the garden, where  he and Gilbert usually did training , and began to practice magic. At first, he used earth magic, digging and filling holes repeatedly. At first,  he  was thinking of using more flashy magic, but as  he  fought Gilbert and Barbaroth,  he  changed  his mind.
. So, when training with Gilbert and Barbaroth,  he  tried to create small depressions and protrusions in the ground to break their stance.
However, Gilbert is a legendary assassin and Barbaroto is the best knight in city . They were not the kind of people to be trifled with so easily.
However, both of them praised the idea, so Leorde is desperate to learn enough skills to be able to use it against Gilbert and Barbaroth without reciting.
He continued for a while, but then Leordo switched and activated his water magic. It comes in three forms: water balls, water arrows, and water needles.
In the game, they are called aqua balls, water arrows, and water spears. All of them are basically magic that you shoot at enemies, but in the game, you don't use them after the beginning of the game. They are useful because they consume little magic power, but they are not very powerful.
Therefore, they are only useful in the early stages of the game. The reason is that they learn more powerful spells after the middle stage.
In the first place, it may be possible to control one, but it is very difficult to control three. If Sheria were to try it, she would immediately lose control of the device and set it off.
It was a feat made possible by Leoldo's talent.
However, there is a higher level. In the game, there were beings who could control all the attributes, so of course there were beings in this world as well.
But Leoldo is also in the genius category. However, no one is able to evaluate him at the moment. It is a technology that is still in its infancy, so Leorde is keeping it hidden.
Leoldo, who had lost his concentration, exhaled heavily and sat down on the spot. The magic he had been maintaining fizzled out and the ground became wet.
Lightning strikes in Leordo's vision as he breaks the chant and spins the magic name. Of course, he is far enough away that there is no danger to Leordo.
"It's always great to see lightning!
Although  he is saying something sick, if the current blow hits an ordinary person directly,  he is inevitably electrocuted. The magic that Leold chanted earlier was a magic that could be learned in the middle of the game.
Incidentally, Leorde had used this magic on Gilbert once before. At first  he  was hesitant, but  his hesitation faded when  he saw how easily Gilbert avoided a lightning strike. He is a legendary assassin after all .
However, Leold does not use the magic of  lighting attribute in the training . After all, because Leordo used it a lot in the game, the magic of the  lighting attribute is still better than the other two attributes at this point.
If that is the case, then the other two take priority. However, when it is unavoidable,  je use lightning magic.  he hope that opportunity does not come, but Leolde, who is in a place where the game does not talk about it, did not think that it would come in the near future.
