Inside the trial field.
Lynn was clutching his head, letting out mournful wails, looking as miserable as could be.
At the same time, he kept shouting.
"Master, I can't beat it! I can't go on! Let me out! I'm going to be killed by this little fish-man!"
His voice was hoarse from screaming, enough to bring tears to anyone's eyes.
Nanako watched, stunned.
If she couldn't hear his inner thoughts, she might have believed him by now.
Then she remembered a few months ago when she found a first-order Magic Beast for him to train with. It seemed like the same scenario back then.
She even gave him a few days off and took care of him.
"..."
"..."
"I've been tricked!!" Nanako yanked at her ponytail in frustration, grinding her teeth.
She grabbed the Magic Voice Transmitter, glaring and grinding her teeth as she yelled at Lynn:
"You worthless disciple!! Get serious, if you can't even beat a second-order fish-man, you'll be copying the Encyclopedia of Magic five hundred times!! I mean it!!"
The terrifying voice of the loli master immediately echoed in Lynn's ears.
Lynn: "..."
[Master must have gone mad...]
[But that's not right, didn't it always work before? After every brutal beating by a magical creature, loli master would come over, give me a hug and let me take a week off.]
[So, her menopause must have started (`皿´)!]
Nanako: "(grinding teeth)"
Under Nanako's watchful eyes, the little fish-man's kick suddenly missed for some inexplicable reason.
Then Lynn, as if using all his strength, roared and rolled, "struggling" to escape the little fish-man's grasp.
He staggered to his feet.
Lynn picked up his staff, immediately chanting a spell.
In an instant, a huge ball of holy fire appeared at the top of his staff.
[No, no! This holy fire is too big, smaller, smaller, master is watching!]
Then under Nanako's watchful eyes.
The suddenly enlarged fireball instantly shrank, finally turning into a palm-sized flame.
The flame was so small that it might not even cause harm if it hit someone.
Nanako was stunned.
[Tsk, this size is just right, if master asks later, I'll say it's the effect of holy blessing~]
[And I, the disciple, have too weak control, I can't control such a large holy fire~ This flame is my true strength!]
[I'm simply a genius, O(*￣︶￣*)o]
Lynn was quite pleased with himself.
Then Lynn gave a slight smile.
Then in a very "struggling", incredibly "difficult" posture, he gritted his teeth and forcefully threw out the flame in his hand.
He looked just like a newbie who had no combat experience.
[Then the flame will accidentally hit the little fish-man's eye at a thirty-degree angle, and accidentally burn his brain~~]
[Then I, in a rather lucky state, will struggle to defeat the terrifying second-order fish-man~~]
【When Master comes over, I'll faint into her arms again as if by accident, and naturally be sent to seek treatment for my emotional wounds from the priestess sister→_→】
【Perfect! Lynn, you're amazing!】
Nanako listened blankly to Lynn's thoughts echoing in her ear.
Then she looked at the flame.
Precisely at a thirty-degree angle.
Directly hitting the fishman's eyes.
Thud——
The fishman fell straight down, smoke billowing from its head.
Lynn extended his hand towards the screen, revealing a tired smile.
As if to say: Master, I've finally defeated this formidable enemy!
Nanako stood there in a daze for two seconds.
“……”
“……”
“Do you think I'm an idiot!!”
Nanako was infuriated.
She grabbed her ponytail and repeatedly banged her head against the console in front of her.
Too much!
It's just too much!
He actually premeditated everything in his mind!
And why can you act so convincingly!
If I couldn't hear your inner thoughts, I wouldn't have realized that your "hard-fought" expression is fake!
You even planned to faint into my arms!
You even planned to pretend to be injured and go to the priestess for healing!
“Damn it! Damn it!!”
Nanako banged her head against the console in frustration.
But just then.
There was a sudden crackling noise.
She paused, lowered her head, and looked at the console.
Smoke was billowing from it, and the buttons controlling the release of different level Magic Beasts were blinking wildly.
Instantly, Nanako's eyes widened.
“Is...is it broken?”
Then she immediately reflexively raised her head, staring at the screen.
Nanako: “(ΩДΩ)！！！！”
On the screen, in the trial field.
Lynn stood there like a lone ant, and in front of him, countless Magic Beasts had already appeared.
From first-level to ninth-level, even the top-level demons and void creatures were slowly appearing with the out-of-control teleportation device.
In an instant.
Lynn's trial field had turned into a chaotic battleground of Magic Beasts.
In contrast, Lynn seemed as insignificant as a lone sapling.
Crows flew over his head.
“……”
“……”
Then Lynn turned his head with a click, showing a smiling eye to the screen, saying:
“Master, are you sure that I, a second-level mage, can defeat so many top-level Magic Beasts and demons......”
……
“It's over! It's over!”
In the control room, Nanako stared wide-eyed, clutching her oversized cloak, and vigorously patting the flaming console.
Such a sturdy machine, she had bumped into it many times before without any issues, why is it smoking today!
“Apprentice! There's a small malfunction, it'll be fixed soon, you have to hang in there!”
Nanako urgently grabbed the communicator and yelled towards him.
She had intended to cause a minor malfunction, but she didn't expect the darn control panel to actually break down!
Lynn: "......"
[Control panel malfunction? It must be on fire. The magical devices in the mage tower at home often get damaged by the master.]
[So, according to the usual pattern, the master should be using magic next......]
......
"Water Ball Spell!!"
Nanako shouted, grabbing her ponytail and thrusting her hand out.
A large water ball smacked onto the burning control panel with a loud slap.
The flames on it were instantly extinguished.
"Disciple! Don't worry! Your master has extinguished the fire!"
......
[Then......if I'm not mistaken, the control panel is completely wrecked.]
Lynn speculated.
......
"Something's wrong! Disciple! The fire is out! But for some reason, the control panel still isn't working!!"
Nanako's yelling came from the other side of the light screen.
"That's obvious......" Lynn muttered.
[Then......my loli master should be kicking the door open and rushing out, and because she's too anxious, she'll trip over her own feet and fall flat on the ground......]
Lynn guessed in his heart.
......
