GIGAS.

It is an that takes in rocks and stones and forms a humanoid shape, using the surrounding free magical energy (ether) as its food.

It works by taking in the surrounding free magical energy (ether) and mana.

Because it is a failure, once it starts to move, it is uncontrollable and attacks its surroundings indiscriminately.

And for some reason, it has a habit of aiming for high places.

Jin remembered that .......

"<> has been improved somewhat. Specifically, the habit of aiming high is gone."

"...... doesn't make much sense."

"Not really. It is now easier to use to distract enemy forces in plain combat."

"...... Well, that's true."

But that is not the point now.

"Who in the world could have stolen the magical core of ...... or even ?"

"I don't know, sir.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"No, it can't be helped, it's not your fault."

Jin consoled Vera and Yumie, who were both devastated.

He then decides to change the subject.

The stolen < core and its culprit, the golem, are of concern, but for now we need to start solving the problem at hand.

"Was there such a thing as a magical brain to manage and control the facility?"

"No, there is not. There was a plan to set it up, but before it could be installed, there was an "ether stampede".

"So that's what happened. ......"

Jin thought that it could not be helped since the facility was not yet completed.

Here the old man gives some advice to Jin.

> and the <>.

"I see, I understand."

Following the old man's advice, Jin explained the reason why he was investigating the facility where the two bodies had been.

"So that's what's going on," he said.

What can we do?

"First, we would like to know what they got at the facility."

Okay. Let's find out.

This isn't the compound, is it?

Yes, this is my base. Then let's go back to the facility.

Please, sir.

Thank you very much.

So Jin returned to the facility with Yumie, Vera, and 10 Land troops.

* * * * * *

"The master is also very skilled in the use of transference, isn't he?

"As expected."

Well then, I want you to investigate the facility.

Yes, sir.

It'll take about three hours.

Well, tell Rand 201 to get on it.

Yes, sir.

So, it was decided that Yumie and Vera would be in charge of the investigation of the <>, while the Shinobi Unit and the Land Unit would remain on standby.

At the same time, at the house of Reuthert.

"...... So, substitute 3 for this x. ......"

"...... Oh, that's the way to do it. ......"

The study of Mertze was in progress. The teacher was Goh.

At first, Rubina was running for the position. .......

"Let's see, the angle here and the angle here look the same, so we compare them like this and try to come up with a solution, and then we calculate it anyway. And ......, you see, it was right."

"You can't ...... do that. ......"

As a sensible person, she could not explain it in a way that Mertze could understand.

"Goh is better at this kind of thing."

"Woo...... I'm not good at explaining things anyway!"

Erza comforts Rubina, who is looking upset.

"You can't keep being so bad at it. You have to think about it and get over it."

"Dear Elsa, ......"

"...... First, you should try to learn some healing magic."

"What?"

"Because it's good to be able to give first aid when you're injured while making things."

"That's true, but ...... I've been told that I don't have the aptitude for <>.

But Erza shook her head.

"I'm fine."

I explained that just because the magic is more suited to people with flat magical properties doesn't mean it can't be used by people who are peaky.

"If you are above a certain level, you can use it."

"I see. ......"

"...... This includes what we know from recent research, so people on <> may not know about it yet."

"Oh, I see."

Rubina, satisfied with Elsa's explanation, moved to an empty room and the two of them began training together.

"First of all, you need to control your own magic power <."

"Yes, yes."

Since Erza had <, she was skilled in controlling her <> so that her < would not run out of control, and she was familiar with this kind of instruction.

So he is able to give easy-to-understand instructions even to Rubina, who is a sensual person.

(Erza-sama is so ...... mature, isn't she? ......)

Rubina, who is receiving instruction, listens attentively to Elsa's precise and easy-to-understand instruction.

And after an hour, she was able to use rudimentary healing magic, <>.

"Good. This <> is both medical and surgical, and can heal minor cuts, minor abrasions, minor bruises, nausea, and so on. It's worth remembering."

"Yes!"

An hour later, Rubina was able to use <> and >.

"Yes, yes!　Thank you, Erza-sama!

Rubina's effort is a result of her hard work. If you want to learn a higher intermediate level, you'll have to master the beginner's level first.

"Yes!

Rubina was overjoyed to be able to use healing magic, even at the beginner level.

On the other hand, Merce was..,

(Mr. Goh's ...... way of teaching is easy to understand and polite, I can't believe we are only one level apart. ......)

), and her evaluation of Goh was raised by several levels.
