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

My commander could be a hell of a badass.)

Doyle, who became Norwin's aide, thought so after just one day.

　The first shock came when he saw Norwin studying on the moving carriage.

　He was reading two books with his left and right eyes, and at the same time, he began to summarize each book with his left and right hands.

It was so abnormal and unreasonable.

　There was no way he could get it into his head this way.

　In fact, from Doyle's point of view, Norwin's work efficiency was incredibly poor.

Useless. Reckless. Reckless.

No one would do this. No one would push themselves this hard.

　Studying without understanding is a waste of time, and even before that, people are creatures who are satisfied with a certain amount of effort.

　Even those with tremendous motivation are satisfied with a little more effort and a little better results than others.

Nothing more is required of him.

　However, Norwin's eyes, which were frantically following the strings of books, did not seem to see such a halfway position.

　He is simply looking at the endless road ahead and striving to reach it.

Doyle was astounded at the height of his ambition, but...

No, it's pointless.

He looks at Norwin with disapproval, seeing a task that is less efficient than reading a single book in a normal way.

　No matter how high you aim and how hard you train, if the results don't follow, it's pointless.

The battlefield is a place where lives are traded. What is required is results, and if you lose, the process is worthless.

That is why Doyle saw Norwin's studies as meaningless, even though he saw potential in it.

　Rather than Norwin, it is his personal maid who should be evaluated.

　She always observes Norwin, and is skillful enough to prepare what he needs in an instant.

The high level of processing ability to pick up Norwin's ramblings and leave notes, and to organize information whenever he finds the time, is not the level that a single maid should have.

--- That was the impression I had initially.

️.

The next shock for Doyle came when seeing the magic training scene.

Everyone knows that Norwin is being trained by Almire if he is in touch with the season's information in social circles.

　Of course, Doyle knows it too.

He is an elite who graduated from a military school with the highest honors, and he is a young genius who is trying to accumulate strength from more perspectives in addition to his literary and military skills.

　But Norwin's magic exceeded even his expectations.

Flames and winds are created by the gesture of waving his fingers. There was no chanting, no magic circle, and the scene looked as if it were a reenactment of the "magic" of the mythical age --- the same magic as the completely new magic developed by Almire. And the degree of its mastery far exceeded anything Doyle had ever known.

Two years ago, Almire, who was defeated by a mysterious assailant with magic, developed this magic in order to win the rematch.

　These days, it seems that its mastery is being tested mainly by the younger generation, and Doyle learned a little of it before he was called upon.

However, unlike existing magical arts, which are based on logic from one to ten, this new art relies heavily on the senses.

Doyle was not accustomed to the unfamiliar procedure and gave up on it early on.

New kinds of magic are still in the process of developing, and if they are to be evaluated harshly, they must be evaluated as weak. If I had to make a harsh assessment, it would be that they are weak.

　Doyle's conclusion was that it was better to improve on what he had already learned than to spend a lot of time on something he was not good at.

　That's why he asks--

"Slow down the flow of magic a little bit more? No, that would take too long to activate. Should we try just changing the flow of the pressure?"

　Norwin repeatedly activates the magic while muttering something.

The notebook in hand has a shape that resembles a magic circle, which is traced over and over again with a quill pen.

(No way, are you making this up?)

　It may be ahead of the new magic that Almire has spread in King's Landing.

　Even if not, it is still a tremendous situation when an eight year old kid is making something that is on par with Almire's.

"Seriously?"

　The magic aspect is in a higher dimension than I can measure.

　With that level of ability, it is certainly no wonder that Ghardias and Schneizel give him preferential treatment.

Even though he didn't like his connections, Doyle was partly rethinking Norwin.

--- But then the real surprise came even later.

It was almost night when they stopped at a town on the way to spend the night.

　To his surprise, Norwin, who had been training throughout the trip, began swinging his spear in the courtyard of the inn without resting.

　It was a stoicism that was hard to believe for a child.

Doyle wanted to take a rest to relieve the exhaustion of the move, and most of the other members of the troop were also taking a rest in their rooms.

Even the adults are doing that, but Norwin continues to push himself silently.

The exercise began with the typical spear-handling routine that is prevalent in Arcadia.

　It is a move that spearmen in the training center often do. Doyle is familiar with it, too, but...

　When Norwin does it, the world looks different.

The underlying movements are exactly the same as what Doyle's colleagues do, but the degree of mastery is extraordinary.

　First of all, there is no pre-movement at all at the start of the technique. The spear is delivered sharply from any natural posture.

　The second blow, the tip of the spear, smoothly shifting from attack to attack and taking the shortest trajectory, roared out.

　An inorganic spear that eliminates all waste.

It had been stripped down to its utmost limit, and it was imbued with a beauty that could be called functional beauty.

　The perfection of the techniques, the different techniques that connect the techniques, the weight shifts, and the gait, all of which are based on calculation, without any waste whatsoever.

Norwin's kata demonstration was several times faster and dozens of times more terrifying than that of ordinary human beings.

　Besides.

"Ah?"

　Doyle, who was watching the training, raised a dumb voice.

Suddenly Norwin's spear vanished. Leaving Doyle, who was desperately trying to understand what had happened, the eight-year-old's training took place in a higher dimension.

'Sh!"

　Norwin moves to strike with no hands. Without warning, a spear appeared in his hand.

"------ Oh, no!

　Doyle, with all the brilliance he possesses, realizes what has happened.

　The spear disappeared because it was originally produced by magic.

If the enemy does such a thing in front of you during a battle, Doyle is absolutely confident that you will be caught flatfooted.

　Even if he could remain calm, would he be able to fight an enemy who could change from being unarmed to holding a weapon with no time lag?

　That feint is not something that can be described in such simple words as "tricky.

　No hands, spear, right, left, both hands.

Norwin is now an incredible user, making his opponents pay that much attention to him just by being in normal contact with him.

　And yet, all the means he uses for feinting have been raised to a practical level.

In a real battle, if you ignore Norwin's feints and try to push him, the feints themselves will be unleashed as a special blow.

"What a ba-kemon!"

　Doyle asked himself if he could win.

　He was not much more skilled with a sword than Norwin's spear.

　He would be greatly superior in size. If he pushed with force, he might be able to pull it off.

　However, he would be overwhelmingly inferior in terms of magic.

　When two truly strong people fight, the most important thing is not the difference in physique. It is magic that lightly overturns even the difference in weight and physique.

　Depending on the output of the physical strengthening, it is possible for an adult to be defeated by a child.

And Norwin's magic is incomparably powerful.

I see. This is certainly out of the ordinary.

Doyle came to this conclusion on only his first day as an aide
