“Yuta, is your teaching going well?”

Linnecarlo came up to me while I was taking a break in Fugaku cafeteria after the lesson. I’ve been so busy the past few days that I haven’t had a chance to talk to her, but I’m glad she seems happy about it.

I think they’ve gotten a lot stronger. The trainees are also doing Ludia training at the same time, so I think their combat power has improved considerably.”

“Speaking of Ludia training, I heard that Yuta has also started training.”

Linnecarlo changed the subject as if she remembered something.

“Yes, Jean and Rafishal are so annoying that I have no choice but to do it.”

“So, how much has your Ludia value gone up?”

“I don’t even know what my current value is, because it seems to be a value that can’t be measured with the Ludia measuring device we have.”

“Can’t you measure it with the instrument Rafishal recently made?”

“It doesn’t seem to work.”

“I heard that that machine can measure up to 2 million Ludia value, you know? Doesn’t that mean that Yuta’s Rudia value is now over 2 million?”

“Maybe.”

“You’re talking lightly! That’s two million! I’ve never heard of such a figure! I’ve barely gotten up to 200,000 myself, and now the gap is only getting bigger!”

“It seems that Linnecarlo is also training steadily, but I hope she doesn’t have any strange rivalry with me.”

“Come to think of it, Kiyone seems to have started training in Ludia too. Rafishal says that she’s the one with the highest growth rate. It seems that she’s in class 4, the same as Linnecarlo, so isn’t that more of a concern to you?”

“Is that true? I’ve never heard of it before.”

I told her that I thought it would be helpful if she directed her strange rivalry towards Kiyone, who was also one of the Twelve Heavenly Masters. Just as I had hoped, Linnecarlo seemed to have begun to be concerned about Kiyone’s training, and said that he was going to increase her Ludia training.

Kiyone’s growth rate is great, but it seems that Nagisa’s Ludia value is also growing tremendously. Given the similarities between the two of them in terms of their martial arts training, maybe the growth rate of Ludia training has something to do with that…….When I think about it, I wonder how much growth I would see if my dad did Ludia training…….I’m curious.

“Yuta, did you hear?”

While we were slowly drinking tea after dinner, Nagisa came over this time.

“What is it?”

“Ranelle’s coming here next week.”

“Oh. She got some free time?”

“No, of course not, she’s just inspecting the military.”

“It’s tough being a head of state. Does she have to confirm such things?”

“She’s paying a lot of money, so it’s only natural. If the results aren’t good, she might lower the budget.”

“The deployment of the Salamanders is going well, and the training of the troops is going well, so I think we’ll be okay with that.”

I thought things would be fine as they were, but when Jean and Rafishal found out that Ranelle was coming, they were not happy with the status quo.

“If Ranelle is coming, let’s negotiate for more money and more remuneration.”

“Hey…….Aren’t you being a little greedy?”

“No, the Union riders’ Ludia value is rising, and we have plans to build mass-produced magicrafts to match.”

“When did you come up with that plan?”

“I’m always trying to figure out how to get more money out of the Amurian Union.”

“I’m also going to negotiate with the Amurian Union to see if I can purchase orichalcon and phoenix stone at a discount. If possible, I’d like to buy some alchemy materials as well.”

“You’re planning to get paid and have the materials sold at a discount?”

“Yes. We have to take advantage of everything we can.”

As usual, Jean’s business spirit is impressive. Rafishal also seems to want to start generating cores, and is cooperating with Jean. It is true that Excalibur is a borrowed item, and I plan to return it when my dad is resurrected, so I won’t have a magicraft. I’ll be glad if he can make one for me…….
