We didn’t have the ability to repair the broken thing, and it was getting late at night, so we each went back to our rooms.

It was the next day that I told Jennifer that the training ground was broken.

“It was made with the premise that it would be shot from the beginning, so it’s natural that it would break if you hit it that hard.”

Jennifer nodded after hearing the story and said.

“The bullet will pass through from the beginning, so the drivetrain will not bend backwards. However, if you hit it with a sword and apply strong force, it is not impossible for the part to break as it is.”

Jennifer stood up from her seat as she examined the mangled mechanical parts.

“If there are spare parts, you can tell the academy so they can fix it. Don’t worry too much.”

Actually, I wasn’t worried. Even if it costs a lot of money, I knew I could pay as much as I wanted if I put my mind to it.

“By the way.”

Jennifer looked at the three of us.

I told Sophia Bianchi that she didn’t need to come last night even though she kept apologizing, but judging from the fact that she came all this way, it seems like she was truly sorry.

If not, then it’s a situation where you have to look like you’re truly sorry.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a prosecutor train here. In fact, there’s probably not much a prosecutor can do in a training ground like this.”

“Is that so…?”

At Sophia Bianchi’s words, Jennifer shrugged.

“In a fight using a gun, reaction speed is everything. It’s important to shoot the target that pops up at once and take it down. But for a swordsman, isn’t the skill of clashing swords the most important? It’s necessary to train your reaction speed like this, but in the end, the most important thing is training with someone who actually swings the sword. ”

“That’s true… … .”

“Hmm.”

Jennifer tilted her head as she watched Sophia Bianchi hesitate.

“If you need proper training, it would be good to have two people help you.”

“… … .”

I had a feeling something like that would come out.

Jennifer has been judging me since what happened on the last battlefield. It’s only natural. If there’s a person who can change the course of a battlefield on their own, anyone can do it.

Lena came from the autonomous country probably because she wanted to check on my movements. But Lena herself seemed completely unaware of it.

In modern times, no matter how strong a person is or how many achievements he has made on the battlefield, he would not be considered a ‘hidden card’. In order to slightly increase the possibility of victory in an operation that would be difficult for soldiers with ordinary training to win, only such people would be gathered and deployed into a unit.

But this world, where the characteristics of Japanese subculture are alive and well, is different. Just hearing the story of a war hero being sent to the battlefield makes the enemy tremble. Such a being even changes the map of the battlefield. This is a world where even such a being dies if shot.

“Huh?”

Sophia Bianchi asked back with wide eyes.

“These two people are the best at handling guns in this academy, excluding the instructors.”

Jennifer gave her a very simple reason for this.

“Besides, this ‘princess’ here already has a history of being active on the battlefield. She saved the imperial army from a deadlock and the danger of a meaningless war of attrition. And she did it all by herself.”

“Ah, that’s… … .”

Sophia Bianchi glanced at me and said.

“Was that really true?”

“Of course.”

Lena interjected into Sophia Bianchi’s words.

“The person who played the biggest role in eliminating that group of warlords was none other than Lady Sylvia. This is a story that the autonomous nation soldiers who were with the Empire also testified to. ”

“And I was there too. Sylvia was definitely alone when she went to the battlefield. Not only me, but almost all the soldiers on the front line were looking at Sylvia like they were crazy, so there must be many witnesses. ”

I couldn’t help but look at him like he was crazy.

Since one hero can change the battlefield, it is rare to send out just one hero. You can’t just waste something that is almost like a tactical weapon.

“If you think that story is imperial propaganda, why don’t you try sparring?”

“Oh, that’s not it, but… … .”

Sophia Bianchi said in a bewildered voice.

“Here?”

“There is no need to consider the surrounding environment when sparring.”

I think the only person who doesn’t consider their surroundings at all when sparring is Jennifer.

“No, that… … ”

Sophia Bianchi’s gaze was directed at the gun I was holding.

“For those using guns, cover is very important… … ”

“If you’re fighting multiple people, then it might be okay, but if you’re fighting one person, then it shouldn’t be a big problem. Besides, the opponents are just Sylvia and Lena here. Then you don’t need any advantage like cover, right? ”

I didn’t even answer, but Lena was already preparing for battle.

“… …Can you train with an automatic pistol?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Jennifer pulled a gun from the holster on her waist.

The automatic pistol I was using was the same old thing, but the end of the barrel was blocked. Rather than simply being blocked, it was a bit oddly shaped, with a hole drilled into the side, like a compensator.

“Your gun, Browning’s gun, right? I asked him to make me a training gun. If you put blank bullets in it, you can use it like a real gun. ”

When Jennifer said that, handing the gun over to me, I accepted it somewhat hesitantly.

“This way, when I watch you shoot, I won’t get confused about the number of bullets you shot.”

It would be impossible for an ordinary person to look at it that way.

Well, I have some sense, so I didn’t necessarily bring it up.

I got a training gun from Jennifer, but Lena didn’t really need to do that. It wasn’t the type of gun where the slide covered the barrel, so all she had to do was put on a blank cartridge adapter that Jennifer probably had Browning make for her. … … It might be a little inconvenient for aimed fire, but she was a girl who fought while holding a gun in both hands.

After loading the magazine with shells and looking at each other, Jennifer looked at us and Sophia Bianchi once and then said.

“Okay. Then… … ”

And then he paused for a moment with a very happy expression on his face.

Anyway, I really like this kind of thing.

“Start!”

Come to think of it, there were a few things I hadn’t seen since coming to this world.

For example, swinging a sword while shouting out the name of a skill.

Each character had their own unique skills, and each of those skills had a name.

And whenever the characters used a skill, they would always shout out its name.

Of course, there were some characters whose skill names were closer to short lines of dialogue than skill names, and in those cases, it was common to shout out those lines instead of the skill names.

If you think about it, it was natural not to shout out the names of your skills when fighting. It was no different from letting the enemy know how you were going to fight, and more than anything, in a real battle that wasn’t turn-based, there was no time to get into form by shouting out the names of your skills. Oh, of course, I think wizards can’t help it. They have to memorize spells.

So, even though I knew that fact until now, I didn’t think it was strange.

but-

“Goddess, give me light… … !”

I didn’t know there was someone who actually said lines like that.

… … Oh, right, that’s right, that’s right.

Because he is a citizen of the country of law.

It might not seem strange to fight while reciting prayers.

The problem is that I feel miserable when I hear those cries.

It was a company famous for using many famous voice actors, and naturally, the voice actor who played the character of Sofia Bianchi was someone who had played leading or important supporting roles in many big works.

If it was a game, the language would have been Japanese, of course. If the language used here had been Japanese, I wouldn’t have felt any sense of awkwardness.

However, the language of this world is a virtual language based on English.

Even though it was a language I understood no differently than my native language—

“With the power of light… … !”

If you watch it directly, it feels like you’re watching an English dubbed version of a Japanese cartoon, and you feel an indescribable sense of shame.

It would have been better if it had been in Korean.

Besides, because of my abilities, I had to rewind and listen to that sound over and over again throughout the fight.

Fuck.

It was fortunate that I was able to finish before I ran out of bullets. If the training had been longer, I might not have been able to endure the pain and would have simply turned back and decided not to do the training at all.

“Really… … You’re amazing.”

It seems that it was a bit of a shock to Sophia Bianchi that she had finished her training by shooting herself with a gun before ‘With the Power of Light’.

… … Well, he’s a Knight of the Cathedral, so he probably has a robe that can protect him from being shot.

“Of course.”

Lena said with a proud expression.

“Because you are the princess of the empire.”

No, it’s normal for a princess to not be able to do something like this.

… … Come to think of it, all the princesses and princes in the empire were people who played one finger each.
