Chapter 523

Letters in the midst of war.

At a time when the use of mass teleportation magic called "Supply Mass Teleport" is necessary, letters are considered a luxury supply item. However, letters still arrive at certain intervals. Letters asking about the well-being of family members to soldiers on the battlefield can be a great help in boosting morale and reminding them of those they need to protect. Of course, there may be so many letters asking about well-being that it could cause a delay in the supply of other important items. Unfortunately, many soldiers have lost family members they need to exchange letters with, so the number of letters that arrive is small. Ironically, the amount of letters is not that much, so the headquarters can occasionally deliver them. After Lanyan Sesor's performance, Heinrich headed to Lint's farmhouse where the letters were already sorted by recipient. Among them, the most letters arrived for Heinrich. Erich laughs with his arms crossed. "Of course the person who saved the most people among us would receive the most letters." These were letters sent by the people they saved. "No, if you think about it, I saved a lot too, you know? It's just that it's difficult to kill monsters, and there's no one else who can follow me in rescue missions." Konno Lint's words made Erich chuckle. "I know that, but seeing a horde of monsters being burned to death in front of you is more shocking. You move so fast that people don't even know if they've been rescued. Heinrich must be the one who receives the most letters." After Lanyan Sesor's performance, Heinrich heads to Lint's farmhouse where the letters are already sorted by recipient. Konno Lint and Erich read all the letters that arrived. Erich wasn't particularly helpful at the beginning of his enrollment, but he had talent. Only a few people with talent can enroll in the Royal Class. Erich had to gain practical experience in addition to a growth amplifier called Moonshine. As a result, Erich de Raphaeri has combat abilities and divine power comparable to those of high-ranking holy knights in the Holy War Knights. They are selected talents from all over the continent. It may be natural for such talents to grow so quickly that they can reach the level that others can only achieve after decades of hard work in a short period of time. Even within the Royal Class, there are few people with growth rates as fast as Heinrich, who received the second most letters after Cliffman, who awakened magical power on his own before the Gate incident. Cliffman and B-11 Ludwig are already skilled enough to reach the Master Class before the end of this year. There are also cases like Delphin Isard, who awakened a new power called Spirit Magic. Scarlet is also evaluated as a top-level power user, although not as much as Ludwig and Cliffman. Cliffman read all the letters with a stern expression, sorted them well, and put them in his arms. When Cliffman tried to leave the farmhouse, Lint told him that he should not act alone anymore and that there are limits to solo operations. Cliffman hesitated for a moment but eventually left, saying that he would be fine. Lint laughed and said that Cliffman might die in a dangerous place if he continued to act alone. Erich agreed that Cliffman had a talent for combat, and the purpose of talent is victory. "I would be scared to lead a unit if I had experienced multiple situations where all the other members died and only I came back alive."

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

Combat is always variable.

Unexpected situations can arise, and there are experiences where you encounter too many enemies or enemies that are too unreasonable than expected.

During the long time dealing with the Gate incident, there were countless units that could not handle those variables and were annihilated.

Cliffman also killed numerous monsters while dealing with the Gate incident and saved many people.

And he faced countless unexpected situations.

Fellow unit members who were with him or sometimes leading them were killed, and there were even operations with Master Class members.

There were times when he faced enemies that were both stronger and too strong.

Cliffman faced situations where he had to die several times.

But every time, Cliffman somehow survived.

Even in situations where those much stronger than him were killed and slaughtered, Cliffman survived by manipulating, tearing apart, and crushing those monsters alone.

There are different opinions on who killed the most monsters.

It could be Ellen, Sabiolin Tana, or Rudina.

But if you ask who caused the most miracles, the answer is always Cliffman, not Ellen.

Both Ellen and Cliffman always seemed to win.

But the process was different.

Ellen was always stronger than the enemy.

The enemy's attacks could not penetrate Ellen, and Ellen's Void Sword always easily tore apart the monsters' flesh.

But Cliffman is different.

Cliffman faced enemies who were stronger than him and whom he could not handle with his abilities.

Yet he still won.

He always returned with the miserable result of victory in his hands.

But he experienced several situations where his fellow unit members did not return.

That's why Cliffman started moving alone from some point.

If winning by any means was his talent, and if that talent only protected his own life, then he didn't need to travel with anyone.

If that supernatural power that exceeded his talent was the talent of combat, then he was always thrown alone into any battlefield where he could somehow win.

Because he would bring victory somehow.

That was Cliffman's claim.

Of course, the Royal Family or the Supreme Command did not just throw Cliffman anywhere with that uncertain power. It could become a situation where they invested certain forces in an uncertain power and let him die.

That's why Cliffman travels alone.

It's important to always do what you can with your abilities, but Cliffman always finds a way to do what he can't with his abilities.

In a battlefield where even unbeatable strongmen die, Cliffman resolves the situation and returns.

Everyone in the Royal Class is exceptional, but everyone agreed that Cliffman has a talent that is particularly exceptional. Of course, everyone who watches Cliffman, who seems to carry death on his shoulders, feels the sadness and despair. As Cliffman returns to his lodge, Heinrich reads the remaining letters. Since everyone has already read the letters that have come to him, Kono Lindt and Erich chatted together. "What should we name the baby?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" "No, there's a kid who sends letters every month. She definitely likes me. I don't remember her face well, but she's probably a girl." "...What do you want me to say?" "Shall we meet after the war is over? If she replies that she wants to meet, I'll meet her, right?" "I'll have to meet her... Why don't you change?" "If people change easily, they die." Kono Lindt still has the same old corner. Heinrich giggles as he reads the letter, hearing such a conversation. In this situation, it might be better to have the same innocent look as before. Suddenly, Heinrich sees that there is only one letter left. It was a strange letter. Usually, the sender's name is written on the letter. And most of them had names that Heinrich couldn't remember. The recipient is Heinrich von Schwarzkopf. But the sender. [From a friend.] It said "from a friend." Heinrich tore open the envelope, feeling like someone who claimed to be his friend had sent it. But when Heinrich saw the contents, he opened his eyes wide. It wasn't a thank you for saving me. It's not even an explanation of what kind of friend he is. [Your brothers will kill you.] The letter had only that one line written.
