Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ - Chapter 110
Chapter 110
The story is about Ruli and Alma in this .
A bit after Mathias sent the two off .
Ruli and Alma are heading to the north forest guided by a liaison, Lilia, who's familiar with the geography around the area .
"Over here!"
"Yes!"
Ruli and Alma aren't from the capital, but they can read map just fine and have experience going to the north forest .
Nevertheless, it'd be a problem if by any chance they lost their way, so they were given a guide .
"Lilia!"
Alma spoke out along the way .
"Yes!"
"You don't have to mind about us! We can follow you just fine!"
Alma raised her speed as she said that .
"I can manage too!"
The liaison team is a group that consists of people with quick legs among the applicants .
And Lilia is especially famous to be the fastest in that group .
The two felt that following her was too easy despite her fame .
"I-I got it! I'll run seriously!"
"Yes!"
In fact, Lilia really was holding back .
However, she probably judged that there was no need of that after seeing the two raising their paces .
Lilia raised her pace enough to barely maintain it till the north forest .
An average student won't be able to keep the same pace up for even 30 seconds .
Lilia maintained that pace for 10 minutes until they arrived at the north forest, however . . . .
"Gasp wheeze . . . . Um . . . How are you two able to calmly follow me . . . ? I'm losing my confidence here . . . . "

When Lilia was out of breath as they arrived at the north forest, Ruli and Alma began to prepare their bow without losing a breath .
Moreover, Alma was carrying her bow while Ruli was lugging a lump of metal for making the arrows .
"Even if you ask us that . . . . "
"I mean, our everyday life is like that . . . "
You rarely have the opportunity to run with all your strength in school classes .
Thus, the running paces that Ruli and Alma know are all by Mathias's standard .
Iris was added along the way, but the standard of a dragon's leg strength where even a trivial misstep meant crushed bedrocks didn't manage to overturn the two's common sense (or what appears to be) that originated from Mathias .
"Putting that aside, is that the thing Mathi-kun told us about?"
"I don't think there's mistaking it . It really is obvious isn't it . . . "
The two said that as they looked at the sky above the forest .
There's a road made of a mass of mana at the place .
It's very much clearer than mana released by monsters, so there's no worry of losing sight of it .
"Looking at its state . . . Should be a little bit while before the demons come . "
"Let's get ourselves ready while we can . "
Ruli said that and made an arrow for Alma's bow from the lump of metal she brought .
She combines a magic stone with the arrow . . . then she takes out a quill and a paper .
And then she calculates this and that, draws lines . . . . and paints a magic circle .
"I wonder if this is good enough . . . . "
Lastly, she augmented the magic stone with the magic circle, and she was done .
Ruli anxiously looked at the completed arrow .
"From what I'm seeing, my hunch tells me that it's fine! It somehow feels strong and all!"
Alma paired the arrow with her bow as she said that .
And then she carefully watches the mana road .
Ruli begins to make the second arrow .
After a while–the mana road swelled up .
"It's coming!"
"Ei!"
Seeing that, Alma shot out the enchanted arrow to the mana road .
Right after, a demon fell down .
The arrow Alma shot is stuck on its heart .
Looks like the demon died instantly without even having the chance to scream its last .
"Err . . . This means first one down?"
"It's over so quickly . . . . "
Ruli handed the second arrow to Alma while saying that .
The mana road still hasn't disappeared .
A few minutes later .
"It's coming again–Ei!"
"GU-GUAAAAAAAA!"
This time a scream could be heard from the mana road–and then the demon fell with a thud .
The second demon got lucky with the arrow so it survived, however–
"Umm . . . Ei!"
Unfortunately for the demon, it fell right in front of Ruli .
And Ruli was holding the sword made with Mathias's guidance in her hand .
In the end, the second demon met the same fate as the first one .
"Ah, it's gone!"
And then the mana road disappeared with no third demon coming .
