[Prince Claude’s point of view]
“Thunderbolt ……!”
I fire a thunderbolt from my right hand.
“Gyaaaaaah!”
This is the academy grounds.
The school students use it as a training ground for their training.
Now, I just defeated an adventurer from the Adventurers’ Guild.
“Well, as expected of His Highness Prince Claude ……! A blow to an A-rank adventurer!”
My follower praised me.
The royal family was originally descended from ancient heroes.
So I can use lightning attribute magic, which is a special kind of magic for heroes.
For training, I had brought high-ranked adventurers from the Adventurers’ Guild to the academy.
This was also prepared for me, the future king, by the current king – in other words, my father.
A king must always be a strong man, as my father used to say, and as the family motto of our royal family.
“As expected. Onii sama ……!”
My sister, Lieselotte von Luxland, came running up to me.
She has blonde curly hair and beautiful blue eyes.
(Even though she is my younger sister, she is …… quite a beautiful girl.)
She is second in the line of succession to the throne.
I am number one in the line of succession to the throne.
If anything should happen to me, Lieselotte will be the queen.
(Well, there is no such thing as an “if” for me. ……)
“What kind of person is Sid von Grundy who fights with onii sama……? What kind of a sub-baronet fights oniisama”
In the Kingdom of Luxland, where merit is paramount, the strength of one’s magical power determines one’s title.
The royal family is the highest in the order of strength, and the barons are at the bottom of the pecking order.
Below the barons are knighthoods, but knighthoods are special titles given to accomplished commoners.
In other words, among the nobility, the barons are the weakest.
“He is a reckless fellow. What kind of a man would fight me, a royalty,……?”
“But …… I’m a little curious. What kind of person would do such a reckless thing ……?”
“No, he is not the kind of person that Lieselotte would be interested in. He is just a fool. I’ll kill him in an instant.”
Lieselotte has always been curious.
She is delighted when she finds something unusual.
Grundy’s stupidity may be unusual, but it’s not the level of a royalty to take on.
“I’m sure there’s some kind of odds involved, isn’t there?”
“The odds, ……?”
“The son of a baronet is challenging a prince to a fight. There must be some great plan.”
(A strategy for Grundy to win? ……)
There is no way.
There is no way that he will beat me, not even by 1%.
“Lieselotte. There is no chance for Grundy to win. That idiot doesn’t have a plan.”
“Do you think so, ……?”
Lieselotte tilted her head.
“I advise you onii sama….. a sister. I’m sure Grundy san is hiding something from you. You must not let your guard down.”
Lieselotte held up her index finger.
“Thank you. I’ll just accept your feelings. But there’s absolutely no way I’d lose to someone like Grundy. I’m not gonna let my guard down, but there was no chance for that small fry to win from the beginning.”
I patted Lieselotte’s head.
She, has a kind personality.
She must be worried about me.
(I’m very happy to hear that, but there’s no way I’m going to lose to Grundy. ……)
[Kyaaaaaa! Chief Feld! ]
[Commander Julius is also here…! Handsome! ]
[Three Roses are now available! ]
The ladies in the training hall shouted yellow.
Feld and Julius came to the training hall.
The “Three Roses” refers to myself, Feld, and Julius.
All three of us are best friends and so-called “good-looking”.
I call myself good-looking, but I can’t help it, because that’s what the ladies actually tell me.
“Finally. …… the adventurers are already here.”
“Sorry. Claude. I’ve got some business to attend to.”
“Me too. I’m late because of the work of the Order.”
“Well okay…… Let’s get on with the battle.”
I, Feld, and Julius are all three childhood friends.
Feld and Julius are the sons of dukes and relatives of royalty.
We grew up together in the royal palace, so we speak to each other as if we were on a first-name basis.
“Feld-san, Julius-san, it’s been a long time!”
Lieselotte greets them (Feld and Julius).
“Lieselotte. You’ve looked so beautiful since I haven’t seen you for a while!”
Feld, a womanizer, said something nice,
“Phew.……! It’s been a while.”
Julius, the cool one, says with a salty smile
My team consisted of all class members except for Grundy and Alicia, but we decided to fight as a representative team of three (Claude, Feld, and Julius).
We didn’t need the help of other classmates to crush an insect like Grundy.
Our strategy was to crush Grundy with the overwhelming power of the three of us and urge Alicia to surrender.
“All right. Let’s start with Feld, and have him fight an A-ranked magician.”
“Roger that!”
Feld said cheerfully, his orange hair fluttering.
Feld is the son of the Duke of Anastasia, a member of the lineage of wise men.
He is known as the “Magician of the Red Lotus” and is a powerful fire magician.
“Let’s do it, ……!”
Feld prepares to chant.
“Hellfire,…… burn up my enemies,……!”
“Ugh…! Miraforce!”
Miraforce–advanced warding magic.
It is a very powerful warding magic. It can even block a dragon’s fire breath.
An A-rank magician puts up such a ward, but…
“Aaahhhh!”
The wards are burned away in an instant, and flames attack the A rank magician. ……
“Don’t kill him! Feld!”
I warn Feld, just in case.
“Yes, yes. Claude. I’ll do it just as long as he doesn’t die!”
Adventurers who come to the training grounds sign a written pledge that they are willing to die.
Most of them are “stray adventurers” who have committed a crime and have been expelled from the guild.
So killing them is fine, but the …… ladies are watching.
It’s not a good idea to do too much with too much act.
“Gaah ……”
A rank A magician falls down while burning.
“Hahaha! I win!”
Feld declares victory.
“Feld wins. Cast a healing spell on that magician!”
If we cast a healing spell on him right away, he’ll only be left with a few burns.
“Next up is …… Julius.”
“Phew! It’s my turn.”
Julius raises his glasses with a snap.
His long red hair flutters in the wind.
Julius is a descendant of the Duke Baltoron family, a lineage of sword saints.
He is called the “Swordsman of the Speed of Light,” and no one can see his sword speed.
“Haaaaah!”
The A-ranked swordsman slashes at Julius,
“Too slow!”
“Gahaaa……!”
The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sword–a secret sword technique passed down through the Duke of Bartolomeo’s family.
The sword is as fast as light, and you can’t even see the sword being pulled out.
Moreover, the power of the sword is so high that it cut through the mithril armor of an A-ranked swordsman.
“……Gaah!”
The A rank swordsman falls to his knees.
“I win. ……”
Julius declared victory.
“Okay. Keep casting healing magic on that swordsman ……!”
The swordsman will only be left with a scar on his chest.
(I never neglect to take care of defeated adventurers… What a good prince!)
I can’t help but praise myself.
In reality, you could say that I am a perfect member of the royal family.
[Kyaaaaaah! Feld-sama is amazing!]
[Julius-samaaaa He’s so handsome!]
[All three of them are too handsome. ……!]
The ladies in the audience cheered.
“I knew we are so cool!”
Feld waved to the ladies.
“Phew! That’s exactly why the ladies are here…! (I’m the coolest one).”
Julius fixes his glasses with a snap.
“Yeah, that’s right. We are good-looking.”
Hearing their charming voices, we reaffirm that we are “good-looking”.
(It is still impossible for us to lose to Grundy.)
“Good work, all three of you. Oh! I forgot to mention! I heard that …… father will be there to see the duel with Grundy san!”
Lieselotte says.
“His Majesty the King will get to see me in action ……? Yes!”
Feld is delighted.
“Fufu…I will show my swordsmanship to His Majesty the King.”
Julius also seemed to be pleased inside.
“If father is coming, it’s just as well. We are the future of the kingdom. Let’s show him what we can do to reassure him.”
“”Ouu……!””
The three of us were confident of victory.
“Fufu! But you three, don’t let your guard down. You never know what might happen in a game. ……”
