Chapter 2 Naval battles have nothing to do with personal strength?
Because in this world, gunpowder or the like is in a state of high cost, and springs and the like are well developed, so artillery cannot be developed, while the power and range of ballistae and spearguns are quite good.
Using something that can accumulate enough elastic potential energy to make the range greater than magic, the rules of naval battles no longer use magic to bombard and board battles as they were originally (there are not many magic casters, so there is a possibility of sinking the battleship with magic)
sex is very low).
So, Yayaka showed off to Melifiss, even if it was due to the comparison mentality that her grades in school were never as good as Meliphises.
"I still know about things like this." Crounpis said expressionlessly.
"Oh, the academy doesn't teach these things, what do you know?" Yayaka was stunned for a moment and immediately choked back.
"People can blast you outside the range of magic. No matter how powerful you are, they can just sink your boat and drown you." Clawnpith said matter-of-factly, "A man who can fly.
Not much, most people know such a simple thing, right?"
"No, I think: this is less than those who are born with supernatural powers." Melphis murmured in a low voice.
"Eh? Is that so?" This time it was Crownpiss's turn to be surprised. So isn't it common sense?
"...Okay, you are a genius." At the end, Yayaka raised her hands in surrender, "It would be a pity not to come to my house as a staff member."
This sentence stung Melphis a little, reminding her of what she had done in the past. She opened her mouth and then said: "Haha, it's not your turn. Although your family monopolizes the Imperial Navy and battleships,
Even in the manufacturing industry, you can't compete with the greatest magic caster. Just be careful about getting into trouble if you think about things you shouldn't."
The greatest magic caster, she deliberately did not tell her real name because she was worried about upsetting Cronpis.
"I know, but I just lamented that it would be too wasteful to concentrate a lot of talents on one person." Yayaka is not the kind of person who does not know what is good or bad. The only capital a young unmarried woman wants to gain a foothold in this world is
Real talent and learning, no arrogance based on status or background.
"Well, Yayaka, when you say that, I think it's quite a waste. Sometimes I really wish I had a clone technique. It would be great if each clone could focus on one thing." Cronpis smiled.
These are the true words of Crounpis.
Melphiss gave Crounpiss a blank look as usual, as if she were looking at a monster.
At this time, a horn sounded on the ship.
"What?"
"Are we going to gather now?"
"What? I'm just getting excited here."
Groups of students around the battleship boarded the ship in a somewhat unorganized manner, and lined up on the deck with the knights who had been waiting for a long time. There were a total of thirty magic academy students, two magic teachers, and two imperial military magic casters.
and fifty knights.
In fact, there are far more people on the ship than these, but now it is just a formality, and there is no need to pile the knights and sailors on the deck at once.
A man who looked to be in his thirties and dressed in military uniform walked onto the bow deck of the ship and faced everyone.
"I am the captain of this battleship Water Dragon, Max William V. Black. Perhaps, many of you think this voyage is very troublesome, or very glorious, but - in my opinion, you
Not even as good as a bunch of new recruits."
"Wow...even though it's the truth, isn't this opening remark offending?" Crounpis muttered.
"It's not like she has no background. Besides, aren't all those important aristocratic classmates participating in this war?" Melphis explained in a low voice.
Even so, Captain Max's words still caused some commotion in the student team. Everyone was young and energetic, and they had learned magical abilities that were incompatible with most humans. There are promotion trials and graduation trials for this related war.
He had some fantasies, so he was naturally very unconvinced by being yelled at by the captain.
"Well, everyone is really unconvinced, right?" Captain Max nodded, walked down from the bow deck, came to the front of the student team, and said to a boy in the front row, "What's your name?"
"
"Martin Guerre!"
"Looking at your expression, you are very confident in your magic and not convinced, right?"
"Yes! I know that you are in a high position and must be qualified to be a captain, but please don't belittle us!"
"Zheng!"
Martin broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the sword blade close to his eyebrows.
Sometimes it is a kind of courage to stand still while facing the weapon pointed at you, but Martin's expression was obviously just frightened.
"Why are you doing nothing? Even if you worry about me as a commander, you are not a soldier. You have no corresponding training. At least you should respond to threats to your life, right? Could it be that you are too scared to move?" Mike
Captain Si put away his sword.
"These days of sailing will not give you any free time. I will teach you how to survive on the battlefield. Be prepared for me! Get ready to set sail!"

At night, after training is over and dismissed——
"I really can't believe it. After only half a day of training, almost everyone vomited or lay dead and were carried into the cabin. It's really embarrassing for people from the same academy."
"Is it better to say that we are too abnormal?"
Clunpis and Melphis leaned against the side of the ship, watching speechlessly as the sailors and knights carried the "dead" students one by one into the cabin.
"Actually, the sea is apparently quite stable, but I wonder if the boat was driven so rocking on purpose." Another person joined the conversation.
"Sunny, you are here, you are obviously a theology major?"
"Is there anything strange? It is said to be theology, but in fact faith is related to the use of faith-based magic and the strength of skills. It is actually a combat profession. The training during the day is quite fun, but it is a pity that there is no chance to compete with Grams
Rouse started talking." Sunny followed and leaned against the side of the boat.
"You are the only ones who can say 'fun'." Melphis cursed.
"Ah...it's raining?"
"I still want to see the night view on the sea again. It's really disappointing. Let's go back to the cabin. If we don't go back, we won't be suspected of being abnormal, right?"
The three of them left the deck and walked into the cabin below. They walked along the aisle for a while, and when they opened the door to the room they had assigned to them——
The four beds inside are all occupied.
"Where's the upper class cabin that we agreed to leave to us?" Clawnpith stretched out his hand dissatisfied.
"Excuse me." Melphis quickly closed the door before Clawnpis wanted to use magic to get past these uninvited guests who dared to occupy her room.
