"Well, I'm getting pretty good, too. 」

He then shouted in a heartfelt voice, calling the forges in the workshop to assemble—in a few minutes, the workshop would be filled with hellish screams.

The crane's pulleys hummed back and forth across the tracks that dotted the roof of the workshop. A piece of armor-like metal dangled from the chain, pushed out by the forge with the stomach of the illusionary armor. A series of curses came out of the mouth of a man who had been nearly crushed by a piece of metal, and then hurried away.

The atmosphere in the workshop was high, and everyone was focused on completing the centaur phantom knight, Zedolk. Originally, it was built in the innermost part of the workshop, but now it occupies a central position.

Most of Zedolk's outfit was fit, and he had a protruding horn on his forehead. There are many other similarities to the design of the legendary horse. Compared to the slender upper body, the lower body appears huge and heavy. Each foot is even as thick as the waist of the Phantom Knight, and it is immediately clear that it has extraordinary power. The waist joint was covered with several layers of armor plates, which looked like a huge piece of iron.

In terms of structure, it combines the driver's seat, the magic power conversion furnace, and the block of the magic director to form the so-called "heart part", which is usually set in the torso of the Phantom Knight, and Zedolk is placed in the "lower body". This is due to the fact that the two-seater driver's seat, two magic power conversion furnaces, and a large magic director computer to increase capacity can no longer be accommodated inside the humanoid. Of course, the design of the Dao pattern can only be achieved by Zedolk's huge size.

Completion is imminent, Zedolk's strange posture standing up to the sky is prohibitive. The freshman forgers who were hurrying around nearby glanced at the seniors from time to time, while silently carrying out their homework.

At first, they were amazed at what they saw, and finally they were shocked when they saw Zedolk. And in the process of completing the delivered training and homework one by one, they unknowingly had a clue. Recently, I even learned how to make the magic armor "Motolite", and I made my own special body early. They were apprehensive at first, but after a while, they became completely hooked on its convenience. Habit is a terrible thing.

A horse drill weaves his way through the load-carrying and hammer-wielding students, as if looking for something. Slightly longer blonde hair, thin body with leather armor dyed red. He is the second squadron leader of the Silver Phoenix Knights, Dicarishi. After a cursory tour of the workshop, he took a breath and called out to the freshmen who were working nearby.

"Hey, did you see the captain?"

Hearing Dietrich's question, the freshmen shook their heads in unison. Yinfeng rode on the head of the regiment and was a conspicuous figure in all respects, and if he came, he would have noticed it.

One is it? Thank you...... Where the hell has our group of friends gone? I just hope he stops fighting, but the reality is cruel, and what he feared has come true.

The Silver Phoenix Knights are about to complete the centaur knight "Zedolk", and the forgers are focused on this job, and the riders are also busy with their own training and guiding the rear, living a busy day. During this period, the Knights' Captain, who has no work at hand, is in a panic situation.

Please think carefully that this person has done all sorts of things besides Zedolk. For example, a new device that is steadily underway with childhood playmates - and for the sake of action testing, a terrifying thing is happening.

The sky is cloudless, and the sun is warm. It was good weather for a picnic.

This is a distance from the city of Dreiser Gakuen.,Uninhabited forest.。 A giant made a heavy footstep as it weaved through the sparse trees. It was the standard mass production machine to which the Silver Phoenix Knights belonged, Gadatoya, and the person who drove it was El. At his feet, three Phantom Armor trotted behind, Kid, Artie's "Motobit", and Batson's "Motolite". Once they leave the city and enter the forest, they are in danger of encountering monsters, but even with that in mind, their equipment is a bit exaggerated.

They walked for a while as if they were enjoying a walk, and finally arrived at a clearing in the forest, an open space that might have been inhabited by dueling-level demonic beasts before. El Gardatoya unloaded the cargo from his arms, and the three Phantom Armor Stomachs quickly opened it, and attached the wonderful tubular device inside to the kneeling Gardatoya. The tube was as thick as a man wrapping around. Gadatoya's shoulders and waist have been pre-modified to hold the tubular device in place. "Okay, that's all, it's fixed. But what can I say about this......

"It's fine this way—yes, what to say......

"It's like a pothole, it feels weird, right?"

The three of them finished their homework and looked up at the renovated Gadatoya. Gadatoya, who has many tubes growing on his body, has transformed from an unpretentious appearance to a surreal-style design.

"Then let's start testing quickly. I would like to see the results. Al in the driver's seat didn't know if he couldn't see the appearance of the mech, so he didn't notice it, or if he deliberately ignored it, but he happily activated Gadatoya to activate the mysterious device for testing.

In an instant, a unique sound of inhaling a large amount of air sounded in front of the "pipe", and the sudden strange sound frightened the birds of the nearby forest into the sky at the same time.

On the bets of Chid, Artie and Batson some distance away, Gadatoya lowered his stance and then quickly ran up. The throbbing crystalline muscles and the ten-meter-high huge body galloped briskly, and it didn't take long to reach a sufficient speed.

Next up is the play of the test. With a bold smile, Al pressed down the additional buttons around the joystick, and in an instant, the angle of the world switched.

The inside of the tube is shaped like two funnels combined, the first half is engraved with the heraldic spell of compressed air, which is inhaled, compressed, and then sent into the middle of the tapered part, and the second half is engraved with the next heraldic spell to manifest the directional explosion magic. As a result, the shrunken mass of air will turn into a violent jet of flame.

- The reactionary thruster that uses atmospheric compression propulsion to explode compressed air and further pressurized explosion with fire magic and uses the high-speed jet stream generated by the merger of the two is the principle of this tube, which El named "Magic Jet Thruster".

The first manifestation was a dazzling red light, then a long tail of flame trailing behind the mech, and a deafening roar erupted a little later.

The Magic Jet Thruster that was being urged did not stop, violently revealing its true nature. The compressed air masses expanded one after another, and the reaction force generated by the strong jet of air gave Gadatoya an overwhelming acceleration. No, that can't be simply called acceleration, it can only be described as "hurricane".

"Oh, oh!?, move, force, open!?"

Far beyond the fierce propulsion predicted by the producer Al, Gardatoya was pulled into a distinctly anomalous acceleration. Heavy inertia pressed against his petite body, and the control became less fine. During this time, the Magic Jet Thruster continued to faithfully obey its own depictions, and continued to spew thrust frantically.

In the never-ending acceleration of the Dao, suddenly a small turbulence lifted Gadatoya's body. With a slight loss of balance and a slight rise in his body, he should have been pulled back to the ground by gravity soon, but the "beast" equipped on Gadatoya overcame gravity with his knockdown thrust. Al was losing the direction of his inertia, anxious about deviating from his tracks, and before he could react, the airframe began to take off, heading for the free sky. Dao's flight does not take aerodynamics and other characteristics into account at all, and is only maintained by the propulsion of the burst. Al tried his best to keep the mech from being swept away like a leaf caught in the wind, but unfortunately, he was already exhausted by trying not to disintegrate in the air.

Gadatoyana dragged the dazzling flames and flew into the air, like a meteor falling backwards. A strange emotion different from witnessing Al's tragic situation made Kid, Artie, and Batson open their mouths wide and the whole person was dumbfounded.

The development of events was shocking, but it came to an abrupt end. This is due to the fact that the magic director took the place of the panicked Al and faithfully carried out his work. The amount of mana stored that was violently consumed was activated before it was depleted, and the mana supply was forcibly stopped. Immediately afterward, the explosion that held up Gadatoya suddenly stopped, and the body that had lost its propulsion began to fall under the guidance of air friction and gravity.

"Whoa

Ironically, the halted Wizard Jet Thruster finally gave Al the strength to regain control of the air. Speed aside, being able to stop the thrusters before they climb too high can only be described as a blessing in misfortune. The dying organism managed to return to the surface before it disintegrated. However, it barely landed on the ground, and its unstoppable speed barely waned. The brakes cause the feet to spark violently, and the ground is gradually peeled off the exterior as if it had been scraped by a file, and the feet will soon reach their limits. Sensing this, Al threw the mech forward, then rolled on the ground using the forward roll principle to disperse the impact.

Although the Magic Jet Thruster snapped and twisted and flew around with each roll of Gadatoya, he had no time to think about it, and Gadatoya rolled for hundreds of meters.

「...... Is Al still alive?"

"Isn't that good!

It wasn't until a while after the neighborhood had regained calm that the three childhood playmates came back to their senses.

Awakened, Al met a familiar face staring at him upside down.

"El...... You're finally awake, are you alright?"

He looked around next to Gadatoya, who had turned into a mass of scrap metal, and then noticed that underneath his head was Artie's thighs. It seems that he fell asleep on Artie's lap. Al shook his still somewhat drowsy head, and Artie gently brushed the hair from his cheeks.

"Artie...... I'm fine...... But, no, no. This equipment is not good...... Overrule!...... It's not going to be scrapped, but it's going to need to be redone. 」

"Al, you should reflect a little, too. 」

The worried man complained unhappily, and even Al didn't have to refute it. He sat up and looked away in embarrassment, and the tragic situation of Gadatoya came into view. Although the humanoid figure was left, the exterior was flattened and dented, the leg armor was also crumbling, and some parts were welded together due to friction and heat. It was completely unusable and dilapidated. Coming to this point only ended in a coma, it was completely due to his daily training and personal ability, and ordinary people should not imitate it.

After discovering that he woke up, Kidd and Butson, who were picking up parts scattered all over the place, walked back.

"Oh, it's all right, Al, it's dangerous, if you stop the thrusters one step later, you're going to turn into a star?"

「...... No, it's the super big stomach that "stopped by itself" and burned it all in one go, and most of the mana savings were finally given back to me without authorization!! yes. No, a complete failure!!"

"Hey, Al, calm down! Alright, don't be angry. 」

Artie struggled to stop Al from losing his mind as he remembered the situation, and he struggled for a moment, then quickly calmed down. Turning back, there was a long trail across the ground. Once again, they breathed a sigh of relief for Al's safety.

"Elle, do you want to give up, it's too dangerous to say anything. 」

Artie worries about Al from the bottom of her heart, and tries to convince him that Al is Al after all. When he looked up from her arms, his expression had completely regained his previous enthusiasm for interest.

"Okay, I'm done. I was really too impatient and had to test it in stages. First of all, the scale and output of the operation are tested, and then it is necessary to adapt to the situation and run in the new control structure. The mana consumption problem hasn't been solved yet, but let's limit it along with the output for the time being...... No, is there a way to come up with a countermeasure against the body?"

I think I'm starting to build a new design in my head. Seeing the way he almost caused a big surprise but didn't flinch, Kidd and Batson couldn't help but look up at the sky. This guy is really hopeless. Al muttered for a moment, and then suddenly turned to look at the three of them as if he had come up with a good idea.

"By the way, do you want to have a look?"

"Who's going to open it!!"

The trio's answers echoed through the forest.

By the way, after seeing Al returning in a tattered Gadatoya, all the members of the Silver Phoenix Knights thought for a moment that they had been attacked by the enemy and entered a state of readiness.

In the corner of the workshop of the Dreiser Rider Academy, there are several tables and chairs that were obviously made in a hurry. On the table was a standing sign that was also made in a hurry, with the words "Knight Commander" scrawled on it. Al sat alone in that seat, looking around with trepidation.

"Do I have to stay in the Tao?"

"Oh, sit down, Captain"

"Yes, with you, everyone's nerves are tight. 」

"That's right, the so-called head of the regiment must be as steady as this. 」

"I mean, you haven't learned how to be good after such a big disaster......

Needless to say, around him were the captains of the Dwarven Clan's Riding Drill Forges that the Silver Phoenix Knights were proud of, as well as the well-trained Horse Trainers. Feeling oppressed, they stood upright and forced Al to stay in his seat.

"You've gone too far......

"Idiot, who knows what good you'd have done if I hadn't looked at you!"

Al looked up at the body beside him with a resentful gaze, and in front of him was the tattered Gadatoya. After the tragic accident called the Magic Jet Thruster test, although he was able to walk alone, the results of the appraisal were almost reimbursed, and he was in a state of strict prohibition - the main object of the ban was the head of the Foot Knights. Besides, this man said that he was going to do a movement test, but he destroyed a Phantom Knight, so he not only had to be taught a lesson by everyone in the Knights, but he also had to concentrate on "doing the work of the captain" like this.

"Don't worry, I'm doing some introspection, you see, I've finished improving the design. 」

"It's endless! Where does this look like I'm reflecting!? Stay here obediently!!"

The Boss snatched the blueprint that Al had taken out of nowhere. Their Knight Commander is a genius and enthusiastic, and will basically do things like fighting monsters alone or fighting Phantom Knights and so on out of common sense, but most of these are done with the power of foul play, so no one has tried to stop them. So, what happens if you fail.

- For Al, who caused the tragedy on his own, everyone can only hold their heads and hurt their brains.

"Well, okay, I see. I'm going to help with some simple work first. 」

Al, who had finally completed the improved design, was dissatisfied, but perhaps he was embarrassed by the accident, so he obediently began to help.

「...... You can't let Al sit idle, so let's finish Zedolk first. I remember there was a lot of other equipment, so I had the freshmen in charge of the design over there. In short, he is not allowed to meddle in his affairs. 」

They don't have a better way to deal with it at this stage. In order not to cause more trouble to the Knight Captain, everyone acted with a strange sense of nervousness.

On the other hand, Duke Knut Discord at this time received a report. It reads: "The leader of the Silver Phoenix Knight tried to fly the Phantom Knight into the sky, but failed. Knut, who heard the report, was naturally heartbroken.

「...... The boy of Elnesti had a precedent like the Kazad Incident, so he really didn't plan to hide the new design at all!"

"What do you think, do you want to remind His Excellency Elnesti without a trace?"

Nora, a member of the Blue Eagle Knight who came to report, whispered expressionlessly. However, she was well-trained and didn't make any suggestions at all, which shows that she can't stand it in her heart. Canute sighed deeply and waved his hand after only a little contemplation.

「...... No, forget it, the Silver Phoenix Knights will try to clean up the aftermath, and sooner or later, what that kid made will circulate throughout the country. At the moment you are focused on eliminating the movement of the 'outside'. 」

"Is that okay?"

"That kind of person will only challenge excitedly when he encounters a bottleneck, but he will be affected by some trivial matters and will soon lose motivation...... His Majesty used to be like that. 」

Looking at the figure muttering to himself in the distance, it must have awakened the old days in his mind. Nora, who knows how to read words and colors, decides not to go deeper,

"Just let him do it, and it will work out anyway. We can only help him prepare the environment......

To Canute, who was tired but still resolute, Nora saluted in a proper manner, and said yes.

Fortunately for everyone, nothing happened during this period, and it passed peacefully. Al honestly designed the various equipment, and did not do anything that would cause a big explosion.

The members of the group, who were very wary at first, were also diverted by burying their busy heads. The second incident took advantage of this opportunity to quietly approach them.

"Ah, Senior Edgar, please wait a minute. 」

A voice stopped Edgar, who was preparing to train the freshmen as usual, and he turned in the direction of the familiar crisp voice. As expected, the person standing there was Al. It's just that unlike usual, he holds a large number of short swords in both hands, and then suddenly hands one of them to Edgar.

"Please take it. 」

"What's wrong? Gladius...... Is it really rare, made of silver?"

Edgar carefully examined the dagger he had received, and it was intricately carved with ornaments, like ritual vessels, and was made of sterling silver. Although silver is a type of metal, it is far less hard than steel, making it less suitable as a weapon material.

"It can be used as a weapon, but it has another purpose. Please come with me. 」

Before he could ask a question, Al walked over to a Gardatoya. Edgar couldn't hide her surprise, but she followed. I believe that you will know if you go.

The two of them came to the driver's seat of the ordinary Gadatoya. Ever since losing Earl Camber in the Kazadeshu Incident, Edgar, who was mostly driving Gadatoya, was already familiar with the place. He took his seat as instructed by Al, expertly preparing to activate the mech.

Tighten the leather strap to adjust the position of the control guard and pedal, and then operate the lever to adjust the output, so that the dormant mana converter wheel can be lifted to the driving state. That's when the anomaly happened. It stands to reason that the vibration of the converter should be transmitted with the movement of the control lever, but this time, the whirring sound of the aether absorbed by the air intake device from all sides was completely inaudible, and the converter was still dormant. The converter failed to start - this was the first time for Edgar, who had accumulated some driving experience, that was an anomalous situation.

Even he was in a hurry, trying to calmly start the program repeatedly, but no matter how many attempts he tried, the result was still the same, he just couldn't urge the converter and the body. Each time I repeat it, the anxiety in my heart rises more and more. At this point, he finally remembered the precondition - the Knight Commander who wanted him to come here was currently sitting on the open chest armor with a mischievous smile on his face.

「...... Hey, Elnesti, you don't think you've done anything, do you?"

The boy clapped his hands, meaning "You guessed it." This is a small revenge for Al, who was blamed last time. He laughed to himself for a moment, then bowed his head slightly to Edgar, who was staring at him with his arms crossed.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Please don't be so angry, I'll reveal the answer now. Well, look at the bottom of your feet, there's a groove, right? 」

Still with an unhappy expression, Edgar stabbed his dagger into the furrow, as El had said. When the silver sword is completely submerged, it makes a sound like something snapping, followed by the activation of some device. Soon, a powerful murmur came from under the seat, the familiar heartbeat of the Phantom Knight. The Magic Conversion Furnace has finally begun to increase its output power and enter the driving state.

"This shakes...... Great, the converter is on. There was no movement at all just now...... No, wait, that's right, Elnesti, this dagger is the key, isn't it?"

"That's right. Did I tell you?' "I'll be prepared to keep the illusion from riding the stolen mechanism." That's the result...... It is named, "Heraldic Authentication Device". 」

Facing the sneering El, Edgar could only sigh deeply and raise his hands at the same time.

"El Nesty...... I was really scared. It's okay to play pranks, but please be gentle, it's not good for the heart. What kind of structure is this? Can you move no matter what kind of sword you insert?"

"Why, if you don't use that short sword, this Gardatoya won't even move. It was in the shape of a sword - but it was "cast" into it with a certain heraldic form. In addition, there is a corresponding heraldic form in this groove. If the combination is not correct, the converter will not start, and the magic master's computer will not react. 」

The Converter does not provide mana, and if the magic machine that controls the action does not respond, it will naturally not be able to activate the Phantom Knight. It is a magic method designed to guard against thieves, and unlike a magic method that produces magic, it is extremely difficult to decipher its theoretical structure based on speculation. In other words, as long as the 'key' of this silver sword is not taken away, it will prevent this Gadatoya from being robbed.

Edgar tries to pull the silver sword out, but the converter returns to its dormant state, and the magic director's computer is completely unresponsive. Let's not talk about the prank just now, this time he really admires it.

"By the way, does it mean anything to make a silver sword out of a key?"

"Carving heraldic requires a certain amount of area, but it's not interesting to engrave on a board, so I wanted to take a look at it. The fusion of heraldic and silver is very efficient, not to mention that we are also the Silver Phoenix Knights, so I quoted the name and used silver to make a short sword. 」

Edgar scrutinized the dagger. Indeed, if he had this device, he would have been able to prevent at least one of the tragedies from happening in the first place—the snatched mech's mind from passing through his mind. He prayerfully raised his dagger and carefully tucked it into its sheath.

"Heraldic Authentication Outfit" - This Phantom Knight's anti-theft device was immediately popularized shortly after its release, and has since continued to use the form of a silver dagger as the actual standard. It wasn't long before the Silver Shortsword itself became synonymous with the status of a rider.

Being forbidden to develop the Magic Jet Thruster, which he regarded as his life, seems to have caused Al to accumulate more resentment than expected. In addition to continuing to research heraldic authentication devices, it was not long before Al devoted his energy to the development of various equipment.

That being said, no matter how much progress he makes, he can't actually finish it without a maker. With the completion of Zedolk just around the corner, some of the forges have been idle, and the new ones who have begun to work on them have become combat power, so they have turned to the development of these equipment. The additional equipment of these Phantom Knights is called "Choice Equipment".

As a result, the next thing to get busy is the riders who are testing their equipment. Equipped with a wide variety of equipment to choose from, they sat in the inconsistent and mixed style of Gadatoya, and stepped onto the training ground used by the Phantom Knights to prepare for the tuning test. And Edgar and Hyvi are among them.

"Edgar, are you ready? 」

The two Gadatoya faced each other head-on, and among the two planes, Kadwartoya, piloted by Havi, raised his sword. Although he was only single-handed, he was cautious in teaching that one could not attack from the front, and Edgar's Gadatoya was bowed slightly, neither moving nor even defensive.

The Hyvet is the prototype of Gadatoya, and Edgar's is equipped with unfamiliar equipment. Additional armor covers the area from the back to near the shoulders. This is a model machine that makes up a defensive device of various shapes of armor plates and a device similar to a wrist-like auxiliary weapon, which is a movable additional armor model. Although it is only a rigid metal assembly, it is suitable for the already rugged appearance of Gadatoya, and it harmonizes the calm atmosphere.

"Okay, you can start anytime. 」

As soon as the signal was received, Hewei immediately slashed at Edgar from the front. The blunt sword used for training swung down menacingly. In the face of her attack aimed at the head, Edgar in the driver's seat measured enough distance before turning on the added switch on the joystick.

The movable additional armor that received the activation command quickly deformed and moved to the upper position of the protective head and shoulders with a slight running sound. Hey's sword slammed into the slanted armor, sparking and sliding down the surface. Movable additional armor strengthens magic to compensate for vulnerable moving parts, even if it is attacked directly, and it shows strong defense.

"Good job. So, let's try a stronger attack. 」

"No, no, wait a minute, check the results first...... It consumes a lot of mana, because it's a model machine...... Or is it because this defensive action is an unexpected magical stomach, and although the defense itself is sufficient, it is not easy to use, so you have to tell El Nesty...... Okay, I've been waiting for a long time, let's try to attack from other directions as well. 」

Structurally, activating enhanced magic will increase the mana cost of defense, so the design abandons the function of blocking attacks for a long time, and instead biases attacks in a way that is tilted in pairs. Therefore, the action modules entered in advance are mostly slightly inclined postures.

Haiwei made several stabbing attacks, but all of them were set up and missed. She was inexplicably excited, and before she knew it, she began to use her real skills. Although Edgar uses defensive equipment, this is still a contest between Phantom Knights, and any mistake can cause a catastrophe, but neither of them cares much. Havi "believes" that Edgar will skillfully block it, and Edgar responds to her expectations. A relationship of trust between them allowed the initial test equipment to evolve into a simulated battle.

「...... I always feel that it has become very scary over there. 」

Not far from the two aircraft that entered the battle mode, Dietrich was also testing other equipment. Heiwei seems to have been becoming more and more unkind to Edgar lately, and the result seems to be such a fierce attack, and the situation is even more terrifying. He wished Edgar all the best, and then told the Red Phantom Knight to turn to the silent target.

"Okay, then I'll ...... too!"

In an instant, there was a flash of momentum, and Gouyer obeyed Dietrich's manipulation and swung his arms as if he were about to punch. At first glance, there was no additional equipment, and what was even more strange was that the fist was thrown at a considerable distance from the target he was aiming at. Since his arm would not suddenly extend, he naturally couldn't hit the target, and only stayed in mid-air in vain, which really made people wonder what his momentum was just now.

However, he did not do it for no reason. When the swinging arm reaches its maximum speed, a piece of metal shoots out at high speed from the bracer guard under the fist, resembling two cones with merged bottoms. However, the speed is lethally insufficient, can such an attack work?

At this moment, a series of explosions of compressed air suddenly appeared behind the metal block, and its reaction force caused the metal block to start accelerating, and then stabbed the target with a heavy whistling sound, and the target covering the improvised metal cover clicked and shook. The impact of a metal with a considerable weight is not light, which shows that it also has a certain degree of effectiveness as a strike weapon. However, the weapon is only now ready to reach its true power.

Confirmed to have been shot, Dietrich pulls the trigger added under the lever, and the "device" added to Gouyer's wrist receives the command and magic power, and follows the technique he has formulated to manifest tactical-level magic. Upon closer inspection, a cable extends from the back of the metal block that is connected to the inside of the bracer with a metal wire and a silver nerve. While this cable conducts magical energy, it also has the property of a common metal, which is electrical conductivity.

Creates electric shock magic from the inside of the wrist, powerful enough to rival that of a celestial thunderbolt. The current flows a large amount of electricity through the cable to the target, causing the target to ripen, spark and finally burst.

This weapon, called the Lightning Flail, is the latest direct shock weapon that combines a large steel cable anchor and magic equipment.

"Wow, that's scary! It's vicious, but I like it. 」

The Lightning Flail proposed by El is also a unique type in the selection of equipment. It is not an external equipment such as movable additional armor or rear armor, but a built-in design. Due to the composition of the Wizard Uniform, the structure of the Wizard Uniform has never been placed inside the Phantom Knight. Not only does the heraldic body engraved on the silver plate lack persistence, it also takes up a lot of space at the level of tactical magic, and is in short, a bulky and fragile part. Putting this kind of thing in the mech can only be said to add a weakness, which is by no means pursued by the Phantom Knight as a fighting weapon.

Moreover, the electric shock magic technique is more complex than the flame blasting method, which means that the scale of the heraldic spell is also larger. To put it bluntly, compared to the explosion of flames that will fly towards the enemy when launched, the electric shock also needs to induce the function.

However, the "Thunderbolt Flail" specifically solves the problem, that is, the application of steel cable anchors. By first inducing an electric shock by hitting a metal cable into the target as a conductor, the part related to induction in the technique can be completely omitted, and the magic guide armor can be miniaturized and improved to a built-in type.

That being said, this is a trick that only the Gouyer, who is a fighting model and equipped with large armor, can do it. For example

It is said that if it is applied to Gadatoya, it will require large-scale refitting operations, and the actual benefits are not high.

"The wrist movements are still a bit heavy...... But it's hard to put down the fact that it can be hidden. 」

The biggest advantage of this built-in equipment is that it is difficult to distinguish from the outside. In addition, due to the strong bracer armor on the part of the Wizard Armor, it is less easily damaged than the hand-held one. A powerful shock suit that is unexpectedly launched in a grappling is a rather vicious piece of equipment.

In addition to the movable additional armor and lightning flail, they also designed and tested more optional equipment, but unfortunately most of them ended in failure. However, through self-examination and continuous improvement, the completion of these equipment has steadily improved.

So during this period,,Some Gadatoya, who were equipped with all kinds of strange equipment,Began to frequent the vicinity of Dreiser School City.。

"Okay—let's start a routine check-up. The first is action confirmation...... The output of the No. 1 furnace and the No. 2 furnace is stable. The scale of the output assignment is still within the safe range. 」

Kidd expertly checked the instruments in the driver's seat one by one. During this time, the murmur of the Mana Transformation Furnace filled the entire cockpit, and the sound slowly grew louder than the original inaudible sound, at one point loud enough to shake the space, and then fell silent again, maintaining a steady level.

"The magic director's computer answer is complete——! the tension of the crystallized muscles is no problem...... Okay, Ozawa, open your eyes——!!

Then came Artie's energetic shout, and the wall in front of the driver's seat began to glow. No, the dazzle is just an illusion, because their eyes are used to the blackness until the last second. The phantom projector showed the sight captured by Deep Dorges' eyeball crystals—the forgers watching from a distance as usual, and the Gadatoya troops on standby, just in case.

There have been times when Zedolk couldn't function smoothly due to a lack of mana supply. In response, they came up with an unprecedented solution such as a plurality of magic power converters. The scale of the project was quite huge, but thanks to the efforts of the forgers, the transformation was successfully completed.

Recently, Chid and Artie have started each day of their action testing again.

"I'm going to increase my speed a little bit more today, right? Hehe, Ozawa should almost show his real skills!"

"I've heard that as long as this is successfully achieved, the next step is to check the details. Well, please. 」

Artie gripped the lever again, slowly increasing the force on the pedals, and Zedolk was on his feet. The two mana furnaces violently inhaled and exhausted each other, and there was a sonorous noise as the horses rose from their sitting positions on the ground, and at the same time let out a sharp sound of crystalline muscle contractions. As if it were hitting the ground heavily, it steadied its steps one step or two, supporting a huge drive, its movements were powerful and powerful, and there was no sign of instability at all. The chains that held the body in place were untied with a choking snap, freeing the behemoth from its bondage.

The operation of the two is very stable. They use the direct control taught by El himself, and use a specially crafted magic director computer to bring the Centaur Riders completely under their control. This extremely unusual human-shaped body, coupled with the unprecedented two-seater driving method, is replaced by an "ordinary" riding trainer, and it is not possible to get started so easily. The only exception to this is that the two of them have no idea about the existing Phantom Knights.

Standing up, Zedolk moved his body slightly, as if to confirm the situation, and after confirming that everything was normal, he slowly walked away. The mech's weight was more than double that of a normal mech, and the weight of its steps was unusual, and the ground shook with every step of it. It just walked towards the exit of the workshop under the gaze of everyone.

Finally, its figure leaped into the sunlight.

An unpainted, dark iron-colored shell with a single horn protruding from the forehead that reflects a brilliant glow in the sun. The image of the unity of man and horse is like the embodiment of the word "majestic and vigorous".

But the touching peace only ended there, when a sudden dangerous laughter flowed from Zedolk's loudspeaker, and a different imagination swept through the minds of all who heard it, and as if to confirm their predictions, Zedolk's hind feet began to dig into the ground, like a horse about to start.

"Uh-huh, full speed ahead——!!

"Whoa, hey, bastard!!, why don't you think about the location, pay attention to the surroundings, and so on, woo oh Without hesitation, they rushed out of the workshop with all their might. When the startled forgers hurriedly ran away, Zedolk was like that

He ran like a real horse, leaving behind the stunned members of the regiment and departing with lightning speed.

"It's dangerous!bastard!!ah, damn it, those two imps are really friends with the boy!!, all the same!"

"Mm-hmm, running at full speed is nothing wrong with movement. Very well done. 」

"Hey, Al, I don't think that's what we should be focusing on now—"

Glancing at the posture of the dwarves looking up at the sky, Zedolk rushed to the outside of the school city.

Equipped with crystallized muscles that don't feel tired and a twin-engine converter that supplies a huge amount of magical power, Zedolk kept running without slowing down, and the scenery around them swept backwards like the wind, making the two unable to hide their excitement.

"It's amazing, it's amazing! Ozawa is so fast!"

"Haha! It's so strong, Zedolk!!Okay, let's just run a lap in the forest!!"

"Yes!!"

Chid and Yatie, who returned after galloping like this, were served by the boss's iron fist.
