âOkay, now the final adjustments are complete. Yutaâs special machine is complete.â
Rafishal said happily. I was looking up at the completed magicraft and imagining this thing running rampant, my heart leapt.
âIâm almost finished adjusting Nagisaâs machine, then the adjustments of the three magicrafts will be complete.â
Shortly before the final adjustment of my machine was completed, the final adjustment of Linnecarloâs Viktor was finished.
Now we can head to the others.
âThereâs a war going on in Bilaluk right now. Whatâs the situation like?â
Fistina answered me.
âI heard from Jean a little while ago that they managed to get the upper hand on the first day.â
I thought it would be okay since Jean, Alana and Kiyone were there, I guess I didnât need to worry. Well, I donât know whatâs going to happen, so we should get back soon.â
âDonât wait for Nagisa to make final adjustments, Yuta and I can go back first.â
For some reason, Linnecarlo suggested this while looking at Nagisa.
âHow will you go back? Fugaku wonât be able to move until Nagisaâs final adjustments are complete.â
Rafishal pointed this out to Linnecarlo.
âViktor has the ability to fly. Iâve heard that Yutaâs magicraft is capable of flight as well, so weâre both going to fly back.
âFlying from here to Bilaluk is reckless. Youâll run out of ether on the way.â
âIs that so?â
âYeah. Well, the final adjustment of Nagisaâs magicraft wonât take long, so youâll just have to wait.â
âIt canât be helped. Come on, Nagisa, hurry up and finish it.â
âEven if you ask meâŠâŠâ
After that, the final adjustments to Nagisaâs magicraft were completed, and we left the trainees who still had to finish their adjustments here and returned to the others.
Even after hearing that the first day had ended with an advantage, my fears were still not gone. In order to get there as quickly as possible, I had to make Fugaku proceed without sleep. In that case, it would be reckless to let Fistina pilot it alone, so Nagisa, I, and Linnecarlo decided to take turns at the controls.
âHeyâŠâŠYuta! Youâre flying too fast!â
âHow do you adjust the speed?â
As I took the controls, Fugaku started to go faster than I had ever seen before.
We were going through the mountains, so this speed was quite scary.
âI forgot to mention that I modified Fugakuâs propulsion to depend on the Ludia value, so Yuta shouldnât be allowed to take the controls.â
After all this time, Rafishal has warned me. Say that soonerâŠâŠ So, Fugakuâs piloting took turns between Fistina, Nagisa, and Linnecarlo. Even with Nagisa, who is class 3 and currently has a Ludia value of over 1 million, and Linnecarlo, who is class 4 and has a Ludia value of over 500,000, can go quite fast.
âRafishal, why did you modify Fugaku propulsion to depend on Ludia values?â
âItâs not just propulsion. The defensive shield and the output of the four-element cannon have also been modified to depend on the pilotâs Ludia.â
âSo why did you do it?â
âIâve known for a while that it was a waste of time. Iâve been trying to adjust it while weâre in the Aether Highlands.â
âWhat do you mean itâs a waste?â
âThatâs a secret since he doesnât seem to want to tell you.â
I canât understand what youâre talking about. Well, at any rate, I might be able to get back to Bilaluk sooner than I thought. Not only Nagisa and Linnecarlo, but also Fistina has maintained the same speed, which has saved us a lot of time.
