"Hmph~hey~hey~" A short-haired blue girl with her feet and a spinning wheel on her arms is waving her fists on the rooftop of an abandoned urban area, practicing kicks and other movements.

Behind her, an orange-haired, ponytailed girl silently refilled her pistol-shaped magic guide with magic bullets

"Pleiades, if you continue like this, those broken skate boots will fall apart in the exam!"

"Huh~?" The Pleiades stopped and looked back at Diana dissatisfied

"Tia, don't say such unlucky things! I specially lit the lube for it today! As he spoke, he lifted the roller boots under his feet and said

Just as Tia had finished reloading her mana bullet and had done her final check, a large window screen popped out directly in front of the two of them.

"Good morning!" Lynn, who was wearing a coffee-colored Lu Shi uniform, appeared on the screen vividly.

"Have you all arrived at the two magicians who took the magician level upgrade exam?"

"Yes!"

In the air, a white spaceship full of science fiction colors floated silently near the examination site, without the hum of the engine, and the whistling sound of air scraping across the hull. It was as if the ship had become one with the air, unhindered.

The hull is flat, about 57 meters long, the slender hull has no traces of welding, and the wingspan of 40 meters is like a bird spreading its wings, giving it a simple and mysterious beauty. The white ship was suspended in the air as if it had no weight, without any power.

The interior of the ship is a pure white world, and the spacious bridge is covered with countless electronic screen windows.

"Oh? I didn't expect that the person who was favored by the wind this time turned out to be the Pleiades! Unexpectedly, the little girl who loved to cry back then has now begun to embark on her own path. Galaxy, are you confident in this exam for the Pleiades? Kamiyu looked at the Pleiades on the screen, who listened to Lynn talk about the exam rules with a serious face, and joked to the Galaxy on the side

"The Pleiades have also grown up, although it still makes people feel worried, but looking at her current appearance is full of peace of mind." Galaxy stared at the Pleiades on the screen and whispered

"Galaxy, the next time you don't say the right thing, please remember to cover up your eyes, expressions, and hand movements." Kamiyu and Ovia looked at the Milky Way with nervous faces and clasped hands tightly on their faces.

"Ah~~" The debunked Milky Way was flushed, and hurriedly stood up from his position, wanting to explain but unable to exit.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with caring about the Pleiades, no one will laugh at you if you say it, it's very uncomfortable to be nervous about her alone in your heart." Smile and soothe the Milky Way

"Toot ~ Toot ~ ~" A window with Message written on it popped up from the side

"This is the Special Investigation Officer of the Time and Space Administration, the Commander of the Mobile Section 6 of the Lost and Found Management Department, the Second Class Army Colonel Yagami Tempest, and the Executive Officer of the Time and Space Administration, Fett T. Harlowwin. Unidentified spacecraft in front of you, please stop immediately for investigation. Please don't try to resist or run away, the Capital Air Team's ACE Wizard is on standby. If you do this, we will attack you immediately. ”

"Such a blatant attempt to drive out the experimental ship without an application is really going to happen! However, for the first time, I felt that the title of the original wind was so tongue-twisting! Scratching his head in annoyance, he pressed the button to turn on amid the soft sneers of Ovia and Wind.

A few minutes ago

Above the examination venue, a gray-and-white electronic helicopter hovered by.

"Oh~ Has it already begun?" Tempest stood next to the helicopter with the hatch open, poking its head down.

"Lin also has a very good style as an examiner~~"

"Gale, it's dangerous to open the hatch, this is an electronic helicopter, we can see it through the monitor in the cabin." Fett stroked his long windswept blonde hair with one hand and said to the wind

"What a shame!"

Just as Blast followed Fett's advice and wanted to turn around and press the button to close the cabin

"What's that?" As a comprehensive SS-class magician, Hurricane suddenly noticed a white object floating silently in the air in the distance.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Blast. There's nothing at all! Turning on the electronic radar system in the helicopter and finding that there was nothing on it, Fitt asked strangely

"No?" Swift Wind hurried over to Fett's side and looked at the system.

The helicopter is equipped with the Authority's most advanced search system. But at the moment, the system display is empty, indicating that everything is normal.

"How is that possible? Will it be flying at low speed over there soon? Tempest ran back to the hatch and pointed diagonally behind him

Fett looked in the direction of the wind, and saw a spaceship like a giant white bird flying gracefully in the air.

"The Temporal Authority doesn't have a ship of this type."

"And it seems that the technique is obviously not Mead's."

Fett and Tempest looked at each other for a moment

[Enemy? Why didn't you find anything before? 】

Both of them broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.

Although both of them are powerful magicians, they can't prevent other people's sneak attacks without detecting abnormalities for the sake of clothing and magicians, if the spaceship has launched an attack just now.

"Fett, please be armed immediately, and at the same time notify the nearby Naye to come to support at any time, I will try to contact the other party, if the other party ignores the communication or the negotiation fails..."

"Well, I understand!"

[Did Naha hear me?] Always be prepared. ］

[Okay, I'll come right over.] Naha, who received the words, rose into the air with the heart of the rising sun.

Although he thought that this spaceship was very familiar, he couldn't remember it for a while, and decided to give up thinking about it for a while, and sent a communication to the other party.

"This is the Special Investigation Officer of the Time and Space Administration, the Commander of the Mobile Section 6 of the Lost and Found Management Department, the Second Class Army Colonel Yagami Tempest, and the Executive Officer of the Time and Space Administration, Fett T. Harlowwin. Unidentified spacecraft in front of you, please stop immediately for investigation. Please don't try to resist or run away, the Capital Air Team's ACE Wizard is on standby. If you do this, we will attack you immediately. ”

The wait was not long, but the three of them felt like a year, and they couldn't help but clench the magic guide in their hands.

Thankfully, the reply was very quick.

However, the video communication that was detected surprised the three of Fit, Naye, and Tempest.

"This is the Neo.Arch.Bird, an experimental ship belonging to the Chrono-Temporal Administration's Department of Magic. Below is the Minister of Magic, the Temporal Authority, Kamiyu. Lieutenant General Halowin, do you still need to confirm my bureau number? MSRD01．．．．．”

"Brother! (Kamiyu!) The trio roared and interrupted Kamiyu's teasing words.

"Do you know how dangerous this joke is, we almost attacked!"

"I'm sorry, because it wasn't part of our scheduled trial voyage to come here, and I decided to come and see it because of a sudden idea. So I didn't have time to be informed, I'm really sorry. ”

"So that's the case~" The three of them breathed a sigh of relief

"Is this the latest spaceship developed by the Department of Magic?" Tempest's interest shifted to the elegant ship

"Well~ sort of!" Kamiyu replied after a moment's thought

"This is a small dual-purpose ship built by me based on the techniques of the Yugutrasil civilization......"

"The public is open to the public, developed for a new type of auxiliary ship," he added, after a moment of silence

The prototype of this Ark of the White Bird is the Arch.Bird-class battleship of the Yugutrasil civilization

The prototype is 500 meters long and has a lot of firepower, and unlike in the Battle of the World Tree, the ships that are guarded are just unmanned automatic weapons that have not been fully activated. And the Arch.Bird-class warships are the crystallization of real war-tested military technology.

Because of the relationship between technique and practicality, Kamiyu and the others made a simplified version that was almost 10 times smaller than that of firepower and many functions. After all, if the Department of Wizarding really blatantly built a super-tech large-scale space battleship for its own use without approval, the waiting consequences would be a grand fireworks display brought by a large number of dimensional fleets and magician troops.

The Authority would not allow the Department of Wizarding to have such force, and Kamiyu did not want the Authority to acquire such advanced technology, and the motto in Kamiyu's heart constantly reminded him that it was a genius who was half a step ahead, and a madman who was one step ahead.

A madman can only be destroyed by society and times, even if he is proven right in the future. And the fruits brought by madmen will only become poisonous fruits, making people walk towards destruction in sweetness. His own teacher is a lesson that he remembers vividly.

And the reason why it was made was only because of the temporary skill and the purpose of excavating the ruins, except for the auxiliary system, even the armament will only be used for the most basic self-defense.

"No wonder it looks so familiar~ It turns out to be very similar to those battleships in the Battle of the World Tree Tree." The wind suddenly realized

"Can we come on board for a tour?"

"Huh... Not yet, the ship is highly classified, and it is still being commissioned, only equipped with electronic systems and related auxiliary systems, and will be refurbished in the school department immediately after the sea trials. ”

"That's the case~" The three of them showed a slight look of disappointment.

"However, once the official assembly is completed, you will definitely be allowed to visit the ship, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Then it's decided!"

"Hmm... It's decided! ”

Soon after, the exams officially began

"The Pleiades are really good~ The indoor battle is already quite like your style."

Looking at the screen in the narrow building corridor at high speed and freely dodging the fire of the automatic attacker, Kamiyu turned his head slightly and said to the galaxy with a smile

"Where, she's still far away!" Although Yinhe's words are very modest, it can be seen from her excited eyes that she is actually very proud in her heart.

"That little girl named Diana is very good!" Ovia has a pretty high opinion of Diana's quick reflexes and design accuracy.

"Hmm~ So far, she seems to be very calm, if she is a good candidate as a squad commander, it seems that Blast has indeed found a fledgling with good potential and quality."

That's when Kamiyu commented

"It's .... False Silhouette? ”

Hands quickly tapped on the photon keyboard, and image analysis was swiped out.

"Isn't this the fantasy magic I developed two years ago? I remember that because of the harsh conditions of use, it should not have been allowed to be taught to ordinary combat troops, right? ”

Looking at the image, the fantasy magic used by Diana is the Void Mist Shadow that she has specially developed.

This spell is a high-level illusion that can produce singular or plural apparitions. While the Phantom disappears upon direct attack, it can be discernible to anyone's naked eye or devices such as improvised sensors. Because of the relatively large consumption of mana and the high requirements for mana control, only high-level magicians who are interested in choosing are taught.

"I'm sorry, Brother Kamiyu." Galaxy said apologetically to Kamiyu

"Because when I went to the park with Pleiades two years ago, Pleiades happened to introduce this child to me, she is a very strong and kind child, so when I heard that she was learning illusion magic, I held the idea that it was up to her to learn whether she could learn it all by herself, and handed over the magic you developed at that time to her."

"It doesn't matter if this magic is forbidden to be learned, and if you can learn it, you should praise the talent and hard work of this girl named Diana. I was just surprised that this kid who was still taking the B-rank mage exam was able to use this high-level magic! ”

"That's good," Galaxy patted his chest and said reassuringly

On the way, Tia sprained her ankle, and using illusion magic and the impact of the Pleiades, the two of them worked together to break through the large automatic turret. However, when the last Pleiades rushed to the finish line with Tia on his back, the two couldn't stop because of a malfunction in the roller boots. When he was about to hit the wall, he was saved by Naye's protective magic.,And when I saw Naye, I couldn't help crying.。

"It seems that this commander candidate is still not calm enough~ It looks stable, but his heart is still full of blood and impulse. Originally, I thought that the Pleiades were no longer the crybaby, and they began to get stronger, but they still haven't changed at all! Funny staring at the Milky Way who let out a long breath after being rescued

"In my eyes, the Pleiades haven't changed at all." Galaxy said with emotion.

"Since there's nothing to do, let's go back! Suddenly I remembered that after completing the collection of ship operation data, I would have to get an indispensable coolie for the six branches! ”

[Who would be so miserable? Ovia and Galaxy thought in their minds at the same time

"Yes, now let's go back."

As Ovia spoke, the white bird melted into the air and disappeared without a trace.

"Just now?" Tempest and Fett look at the vanished white bird

"Space jumping?"

"Probably not, no spatial fluctuations were found, I think it should be an unknown optical camouflage or something. However, with the characteristics that all sensors can't detect, if it's an enemy, it's going to be very thorny~~"

"It's good that it's my brother!"

"Fitt really believes in Kamiyu~"

"Don't you believe your brother?"

"Haa... Yes, I believe it, but it can't be compared to Fett! ”

"Gale...."

In the helicopter, the two men began to fight as before.
