A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Phew... you're tired."

You've been a lot stronger today.

"Ah... that's what it's like to be in level 3 for a long time."

"I want to take a quick bath and go to bed...."

"Speaking of which, Julia. Didn't you get called in by the tech department?

"Ah... speaking of which, yes."

"Better get going, huh? They're persistent."

"? Okay."

As usual, Lieutenant Bates told me that he would come back after his work at Squad 71. Perseverance... I don't know what that means, but I remember being called in about an armed incident.

So I decided to go before taking a bath.

Technology Development Department. They are developing a variety of weapons to fight at dusk. Besides, it seems to be working on the development of magic as well as arming. Combat skills like ours are not necessary to get in here. What we need is the technology to develop and the minds to enable it.

"Excuse me...."

Coming to the Technological Development Department location inside the army. The location is the Twilight Mobile Unit to the north, while the Technology Development Department is to the south. The distance was unexpected, but I walked around. And when I looked inside, there were various people there. Some are experimenting with magic, while others are developing armaments. Also, the rooms are divided into several rooms, which are divided into deskwork and experimental rooms.

"Oh, you're Yulia the rumor. I'm listening."

"Ah... thank you. This is Julia Curtis."

"I'm the chief here, Abby Dayne. Feel free to call me Dr. Abby."

"I understand... Dr. Abby"

Okay.

A smiling woman. Looks like she's in charge here. She puts her long brown hair on a ponytail, puts it together and wears glasses. He seems to be as tall as me. [M] I don't know the age, but I thought it was very young.

"Well... the new Premium Warlock was definitely armed with a knife."

"Yes, but not..."

"I know. It's kind of magic, isn't it? The magic of applying Invisible and shaping it into a sword. The unique name is Invisible Blade, an invisible sword. Of course, the developer has already registered under your name."

"Ah... that's what that autograph was like."

When I became a soldier, I put the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" on all the magic "Mahogany", so the signature is new to my memory.

"Looking at it... it's quite interesting magic. In addition to being able to change shape, it can be stretched freely. It should be noted that if there is a starting point, there can be more than one. How much more can we get?

"So far, it's full... twelve."

"Your fingers and... your feet, right?

"Yes, it's definitely that perception."

"I see...."

Listening to the story, Dr. Abby takes notes.

"How do I switch on and off? Does it have a duration?

"You're free to turn it on and off. There is almost no time lag between extinguishing and restarting. It can be activated in less than 1 second. It lasted... up to three hours. I've never measured it accurately, but if we keep the output down and start from two... I think we can do it for up to five hours."

"I see... can I have a moment?"

"Yes?"

The doctor puts his hand on my head. As soon as he embraces it generously, he takes notes.

"Hmm... that's level 5... no, this is impossible to measure Level Over . The amount of magic is better than the average."

"Eh... can you measure the magic elements?

"My special abilities," Extra. "The unique name is Elemental Sense (Decoding Sense). I don't need to touch it, but I can figure out the amount of magic in the subject. It's just more accurate to touch it. So, in your case... with a maximum of 100, the current amount of magic elements is about 300?

"Eh? So, you're over the limit, not so much...?

"There are a lot of Premium vs. Mages, but they store almost impossible magic elements. Perhaps one of the side effects of twilight syndrome should be called harm. Well then, this is still good for you. I already have a prototype."

That said, Dr. Abby will give you two knives.

"It's a weapon I made just for you. His name is Mixed Short Dagger" Multiple Knife ". Look, there's a lot of little spikes on the knife, right?

"Yes... no way"

"Can we start with this?

"I'll try."

Composite dagger "Multiple Knife". At first glance, it's just a knife. It is the same as the one I always use. However, if you look closely at this composite knife "Multiple Knife", there is a small lizard. Using that as a starting point, I activated the ultra-fine invisible sword Invisible Blade. The Invisible Blade, an invisible sword, was activated successfully, starting with all thorns.

"... I'm ready. Besides, I feel like it's like magic."

"Ah, I'm using a bit of good material. It incorporates a metal that is as good as magic. Still, is it activated?

"Yes"

"Then pierce this wood."

That's how I penetrate the wood I was given with an invisible sword, Invisible Blade. Numerous fine holes are created there.

"Ooh... actually, it's amazing."

"I'm surprised, too. I didn't think so much about the origin. This will make the battle wider."

"The liver means that the thorn cannot be perceived by the other person. I can no longer see your invisible sword Invisible Blade... which is quite advantageous in battle. However, if you can deploy multiple origins, there is no way you won't use them. I'm glad it worked."

"No... thank you so much for coming."

"It's just hard to make it inside. There is no prospect of mass production. Now hold on with those two knives."

"No... that's enough. Thank you very much."

"No, I was quite impressed by the magic of the new Premium vs. Mage. It was a meaningful development."

"... hahaha"

I'm surprised you came again, but... to be honest, this compound knife, "Multiple Knife", is quite usable. Previously, the knife was the only starting point, but from now on, the innumerable little thorns present in this knife can also be the starting point of the invisible sword Invisible Blade. Cutting... may not be very effective, but it will be quite useful in terms of stabbing. And that's the image of it jumping out of a knife for a few meters. Even if I can't see it, I can no longer gain a considerable advantage in melee fights.

Recently, it is unclear whether the attack was caused by the battle, but the twilight syndrome is accelerating. Because of that, or because of that... I feel that my aptitude for magic has improved considerably. Even with my basic physical abilities, my body is moving away from humans in many ways.

Besides, it's this weapon. I don't feel like saying that I don't have any enemies... but I don't have the image of losing in melee fights.

"All right. Now, how do you feel about using that weapon, and how do you analyze it every time you fight?"

"... eh?

"Proper feedback will be required. Besides, it's still a prototype. You should actually use it to figure out that you should do more."

"You're right about that, but... there are a few of them every time?

"What are you talking about? You should know every time. This is an order. My rank is Colonel, by the way. You're a major, aren't you? It's an order from a superior officer. Do it."

"... yes"

I remember what Lieutenant Bates said at this time.

"They're persistent," I'm going to know the meaning of that word in the future... but that's another story.
