To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

After finishing our preparations, we set off for the Ausstadt region.

On the morning of the day of our departure, a large number of people gathered in front of the main gate of the Exil family to see us off.

　Viscount Exil, standing at the center of the crowd, bowed politely, to which Schneizel replied with a smile.

'Well then, you have taken good care of us, haven't you"

'No, it is I who should thank you. The first thing I should do is to thank you. Without your help, the wars would have dragged on for another two years."

Then we owe each other a debt of gratitude. I hope we can meet again without any pretext.'

Yes, sir. Then let's have a glass of wine together next time."

"Ha, good idea. I like southern wine. What about you?"

'I may be a little rustic, but I like anything as long as it's strong. Anything with alcohol is fine with me."

　The way he said this, a little shyly, was something I had not seen since I got involved with Viscount Exil.

　Schneizel smiles happily, baring his teeth.

:I'm not sure if I like the impression he gave me. I'm comfortable that way.:

'I'm often told that I'm surprising.:

I guess so. ------ So, I guess we'll just stand around and talk.

"I'm sure you're right. Norwin, I look forward to seeing you take your career to the next level.'

I" will do my best to live up to your expectations."

"You don't have to live up to my expectations. . Be as strong as you like, with the feeling that you can push away such an ordinary person. I may sound like an old man, but..."

　Viscount Exil shrugged his shoulders at his own words and turned to Schneizel once more.

"Then I'll see you later. I wish you good luck."

" Good luck to you too."

　---And so we departed from the Exil region.

️　

Kid.

Kid...

Kid.

"Yes, sir?"

'What the hell are you doing just now?"

　While I was doing my daily study in the moving coach, Doyle, who was suddenly appointed as my assistant, spoke to me bluntly.

'As you can see, I'm studying."

"What? Is that it?"

"Yes."

　Reading two books at the same time was a practice I used to do not so long ago.

　Now I place the book on my desk and my two free hands hold a quill pen.

　What they write down is, of course, the book I am reading. As before, they pick up the necessary points as they read.

　However, it seems that this task takes a tremendous load, and even after a month of trying, there is no sign of getting used to it.

　I get stuck in the middle, my understanding lags behind, and if I lose focus even for a moment, my head gets all tangled up.

（But this is what I need to do.)

　The more time I spend on the battlefield, the less time I have to train. (But this is necessary, isn't it?)

"Is that the way to get your brain in the game? Isn't it inefficient? You think so too, don't you?"

　Doyle spoke to Mischa, his fellow passenger.

I don't think so.

"What? You're an idiot. If you're a steward, point out the inefficiencies of the Lord. If you're doing this to save time, why don't you have someone else summarize it for you? Reading two books at the same time is a waste of time. Let him read one book at a time, rather than having him read two at the same time."

"It's not that I'm wasting my time, but I'm certain this is what Noru needs to do."

"What a fool you are too! Instead of trying to look good and acting like an idiot, let him do some serious, normal study."

"Nor and I are both very serious. I know Nor who asked me to read to him because he couldn't even read. He's the kind of kid you can count on when he's really out of control."

"What? So this situation of two books spread out together and summarized at a ridiculously slow pace is the best thing that could happen to this kid? I've already summarized one book in the normal course of time, and I haven't even gotten close."

But still.

"Oh, well, that's okay. You're a bum."

　Doyle has been bustling about since a few minutes ago, but I suppose this is still a normal reaction.

From the outside looking in, I am now an fool who bears the sign of a genius and repeats training that I don't understand so as not to break the brand.

　I can understand Doyle's agony at being subordinate to such an idiot.

　Moreover, what Doyle is looking at right now is me cutting out the worst scene.

　I have really only recently tried this training method, and my body and brain are still getting used to it, so judging from the chart alone, it's really inefficient.

　But that doesn't mean that I can't reduce the quality of training just now.

　I believe that effort is not about repeating acquired skills, it's about learning what you can't do.

　Repeating what you can do is, at best, habit. At worst, it is inertia. There is no significant growth beyond that.

　Push. Push. The blank space in my thoughts that allows me to think about Doyle in this way is a sign of immaturity. Don't worry about how people look at you. If Doyle is worried about your ability, you can bounce back with results.

　Inadequacy is a fact of life. I'm aiming for a place that an eight-year-old shouldn't be able to reach.

"Soooo..."

　I take a deep breath, and then turn my focus one step deeper to the book in front of me. Now I devote myself solely to the task of absorbing knowledge from it.

"What is this? I'm getting this feeling. "

"Mr. Doyle. Nor is starting to concentrate, so I'm going to ask you to be quiet for a moment."

"No, I'm not concentrating. Is it something that makes you ridiculously efficient at your work ------?"

️.

　Once I'm done with my studies, now it's time to work on my witchcraft.

The truth is, over the past two years, my sorcery has hardly improved in terms of my ability to fight.

　Instead, what I pursued was to learn techniques that were outside of the existing magic system. Even if I had to learn everything all over again from scratch, I thought it should be my priority.

Two years ago, Almire was no match for the magic king Argiano. The reason for this was that we, including Almire, were relying on the techniques produced by Arjano.

　No matter how many improvements we make, the basis of our techniques is Arjano's theory. If I want to surpass him, I have to completely destroy the existing theory.

My current magical skills have already left the realm of Argiano's, so it is not something that can be expressed in a ladder.

　But if I dare to describe it, it is about the second rung of the ladder.

That is the limit of what I can handle in a completely new system of magic.

------"

I waved my finger and created fire only by manipulating magic power. While the existing magic can be easily activated according to a set effect with the aid of chanting and a magic circle, this one of mine needs to be adjusted entirely by myself.

　It may seem simple to just manipulate magic power, but this is unusually difficult.

First of all, magic without the two aids of chanting and magic circle is extremely difficult to control.

I can't really describe the feeling, but it's something like, until now, it was fine to just pour magic power into the finished hose at random, but now you have to pour magic power precisely where there is no hose.

　If even the slightest manipulation of magic power is off, the magic will not be activated, so the work to cross this state where even the slightest mistake is not allowed is extremely difficult without any assistance.

Furthermore, on top of that, Argiano's skills must be avoided, and if the magic completed in this way does not exceed that of Argiano's, it is meaningless.

　That is why it is really difficult.

　I have a chance to return to King's Landing about once every six months, and each time I see Almire, but even she has not yet completed a magic that surpasses Arjano's.

Well, it's impossible to ask her to surpass in just a few years a skill that took a genius like Arjano several decades, or even longer, to develop.

Without chanting and magic circle, the magic to be invoked will be completely indiscernible from the opponent, and I think it's very strong.

It's no wonder we can't make progress on this one.

For now, let's make changes in magic to the extent I can.

Nothing means that the existing skills are completely useless. It is also effective to mix old and new ways of fighting, and there is no better way than to have many cards in your hand.

️.

After that, traveling alternating between study and magic training continued, and after about two weeks of this, we had arrived at our destination, Ausstadt.
