Chapter 118 Strongest Sage, Sets up Traps

"Okay then . Now that the barrier is up and running . . . Let's go and set some stuff up . "

"Stuff?"

"Yeah . We'll have an easier time if we set up some traps before the monsters come out . "

I took a magic stone and a lump of iron out of Storage magic .

"We'll be using this as a trap . "

" . . . Barrier magic?"

Ruli quickly guessed my intention when she saw those things .

However, her guess is only half right .

" . . . Guidance magic?"

"Yeah . I'll teach you the magic circle later, there's this magic device that can draw magic toward it you see . The pulling force changes depending on the amount of mana filled into the magic device . "

By the way, even though the device can pull magic in, the force isn't that great so it's hard to use it for defending .

And it's easy to counter it if you know someone is using it .

"Guidance . . . . And that will be the trap? . . . Don't tell me Mathi-kun is going to plunge right in the middle of the monster swarm and become the target?"

"That's one of the possible means . "

"So it is . . . "

Alma sounded like she couldn't believe it .

Well, defending against attacks from your average monster is easy if you know how to use defensive magic well .

I can also defend against attack magic shot by students if I want to .

Leaving it to Iris is probably a good idea if we're relying only on defensive prowess though .

"But we'll be using another mean this time . We recently made a magic device to measure mana didn't we? We will be directly using that as the guidance device . "

"And what would happen if we did?"

"A place where there is a lot of monsters will contain a lot of mana, thus it will pull magic in . In other words, our magic will automatically fall right in the middle of the monster crowd simply by shooting them toward the sky . "

Many magic will fall into a place where there's a lot of monsters .

If a place has a few monsters, only a few magic will fall on it .

When it comes to large-scale group battles, giving orders where to shoot to each and every one of your allies isn't really feasible, and it's difficult to get a straight line of fire .

Yet, letting the magicians to randomly shoot their magic by their own discretion is not the best way to demonstrate the strength of a group .

Thus, it's this magic device's turn .

Simply by scattering these devices in the battlefield will make the shot magic naturally get distributed nicely .

By the way, the guidance precision depends on the number of devices you set up .

More does not mean better, it's the hard part of this strategy . . . well, leaving it on instinct should do .

If some slipped out it, I could just deal with them myself .

"S-so that's how it works . . . . Huh? Which means, don't tell me, it's the students who will defeat the monsters?"

"Yeah . The first wave that is . "

"First wave?"

Ruli looked perplexed to hear what I said .

"To tell you the truth, the monsters summoned this time will likely come in two waves . "

" . . . Two waves?"

"Yeah . The monsters coming in the first wave will excel in number, but are weak strength-wise . I'm thinking of leaving those monsters to the students, which should also act as their training . "

They probably have grasped the basic of simple combat in the fight against demon this time .

Afterward, they just need to learn how group battles work and some strong guys should appear among them in times even if I leave them alone .

. . . Well, the purpose of leaving the first wave to the students is more about saving my mana .

If some unexpected situations were to occur, having or not having mana would make a great difference .

Exp from the monsters in the first wave should be fewer than the second wave ones anyways, no need for me to force myself getting them .

We arrived at the destination while having that conversation and set up around 30 magic devices .

We had put them inside metal cases before burying them in the ground, so they shouldn't get destroyed .

Now the problem is what monsters will appear in the second wave .

Would be cool if some strong nice monsters came out then .
