94 Talent Police Reserve Corps Training 5
「……Fuhi…………how big do you want……Yomohira-san……?」
「…………The bigger the better…………」
Yomohira Miria and Kurasaki Yuuki have been assigned to the second team for the training, and they were working together according to the instructions from Instructor Satsuki. In short, 『Making a huge puppet』.
It is hard to catch what those two taciturn people’s words for an ordinary person, but it looks like they are communicating properly.
「Fuhi……understood……『Shadow』」
Kurasaki Yuuki creates a shadow of a person with his Talent, 【Shadow Maker】.
It is several times larger than the one seen in the School War. A 50 meter class shadow. The huge shadow puppet surpasses the surrounding trees easily.
Surprised by the sudden appearance of a bizarre body, the birds flew away all at once.
「Fuhi……something this huge……is it alright? I can only manipulate half of this……」
「…………No problem. 『Manipulate』……」
Yomohira Miria says that, and takes over the control of the huge shadow puppet with her Talent, 【Doll Manipulator】.
Then, the shadow puppet suddenly started to move nimbly.
Bun.
Hyunhyunhyun.
Buooon.
The 50m black giant unleased a hook, a flicker jab, and an uppercut. Each swing stirs the air greatly, and the wave makes the branches and leaves falling down from the trees.
「……Fuhi……Looks like a monster……!」
Kurasaki looks up at the shadow giant he created, and raises a voice of admiration.
While the wind blows his long bangs, he somehow felt happy.
Whenever the giant moves, the trees bend, and the birds fly away again.
Without minding that, Yomohira controlled the giant to do an acrobatic move. Apparently, she enjoys using this giant toy.
But…………gashin!!!
Suddenly, sharp black thorns stand tall from the giant’s feet, and the movement of the giant stopped.
「……What……Kurasaki-kun……?」
「Fuhi…………you can’t do that……Yomohira-san……」
Kurasaki raised his index finger and moved it left and right while muttering that.
「……The surrounding animals are…………afraid……?」
Yomohira makes a fist, and hit herself lightly.
「…………Oops…………」
And she reflected.
「…………Fuhi…………right? That’s why, let’s do it moderately……?」
Saying that, Kurasaki creates a 30 meter class black giant, and faces it to the bigger giant manipulated by Yomohira.
「…………Understood…………」
Zuzun……Don……
Just like that, the two giants start to punch each other slowly like in the live actions long time ago.
The birds are scared as usual as they fly away, but……apparently, these two people can communicate from the inside.
◇◇◇
「What is……that…………a great monster battle?」
Kazato Rie from the third team, looked up at the monster that came from the trees in a daze.
「Oops~, my position has been taken~」
Tsuchitori Mayumi answers with a idiotic voice to Kazato Rie’s thoughts.
The two of them are sitting next to each other on a fallen tree as a bench while looking at the black giants’ battle. Depending on how one thinks, it may be a terrifying scene, but it is a good spectacle as it looks like a live action program.
The two of them are in the middle of training right now.
Despite that, they are looking at the giants dumbfoundedly.
Why is that?
There is one reason.
Because they are bored.
「Nevertheless……what are we supposed to do? We made it to the designated training spot an hour ago, but we haven’t done anything yet, you know? Talking leisurely at here? Enjoy picnicking here???」
It looks like Otoi is greatly irritated as there is nothing to do.
「Yeah~. The instructor said 『If anyone attacks you, deal with the opponent together. And you can do whatever you like』. She gave such an abstract instruction……I’m bored~. Wanna play some games~?」
「Oh, great idea, Tsucchi! ……Nn?」
Kazato Rie felt something is wrong in the air, and looked around the surroundings.
–The next moment.
Hyun, basun.
The fallen tree which the two of them were sitting on, was pierced.
「W-What was that!?」
「An attack!?」
「Ah~…… I see~」
Clapping her hands, Tsuchitori Mayumi nods as if she understood something.
「Hey, what are you understanding on your own? Explain it, clay girl」
Otoi speaks in his usual tone. Due to his personality, there are very little people who associate with Otoi. The only people who talked to him is Hiraga who he knew during his time in Takasei, and Ueki who does things at his own pace.
「Probably, the one who are attacking us, are Yumino-san and the others~. I guess that’s the signal of the start~? I think bullets will be coming non-stop from now on, you know~? Let’s prepare. 『Clay Fist』!」
Tsuchitori Mayumi quickly creates gauntlets for defense from the ground with her Talent, 【Clay Manipulator】.
「Hey hey……the training of 『protect yourself from attacks』 means from a sniper rifle!!? That instructor……what is she thinking……!!!」
Hyun, basun.
Hyun, basun.
The rifle’s bullets increase the number of holes in their surroundings steadily.
「Say, I know that the bullets are flying towards us, but…… why I can’t hear any shooting sound?」
Kazato Rie asked such question while averting the trajectory of the bullets with her Talent, 【Wind Maker】.
「Well, that’s because the other team has Otonashi-san (Sound Eraser). That’s why there’s no sound~」
「Ahaha……isn’t that bad? That is like telling us to dodge the bullets after it comes. Either that or keep on creating defensive walls」
「Apparently, we need both~」
According to the explanation from Instructor Kirishima Satsuki before the training, each team will have its own score. And, there is a 『lovely penalty』 for the team with the worst score.
「……If our team even get grazed by the attack, we will 『lose points』, right……?」
I wonder what kind of 『lovely penalty』 will an instructor who planned this kind of training do.
……Just thinking about it makes me shiver.
I will definitely not do it. Kazato Rie swore in her heart.
「Ha! You just need to shoot down all of it!! 『Loudness』!!!」
Bouuuuun!!
【Sound Maker】 Otoi unleashed a shock wave of sound to the approaching bullets with an astonishing reaction speed. It is easy to shoot down the bullets with Otoi’s ability. But……
Bogaaaaaaan!!!
「Agua!!?」
Otoi was blown away by the blast of the bullet that exploded suddenly.
「By the way, they have Hiuchi-san, 【General Burster】 there, okay~? The bullets will sometimes explode~」
「……I-If you know that, say it earlier……clay girl……!」
Otoi stands up quickly and prepares for the next attack, but his hair became terrible due to the explosion.
「By the way……how long is this training? Like the time limit…………or rest time…………?」
「If I remember correctly, the training is 『until sunset』. The instructor only said that~」
Hyun, basun.
Hyun, hyun, hyun. ……Bogaaaaaan!!!
Countless bullets approach. Just when they thought the attacks stopped, the attack resumes suddenly.
When they prepares for incoming attacks, nothing happens.
The moment they relaxed, an explosion occurs.
–There is no time to rest or relax.
「……Ahahahaha……you are joking, right……? ……T-This until sunset? ……I might die」
「That instructor……she’s a demon……she’s fucking crazy……!!!」
Without knowing that there is a small wireless microphone on each of their back, they just curse the instructor while training.
「Otoi-kun from the third team, minus 3 points……」

Author notes:
Because of I am entering the climax of the novelization, the upload speed will drop for a while.
Although I say that, I have a stock of chapters, so I think the next chapter will go up soon.
As for the novelization’s revising work, after exchanging with the editor, I cut down the redundant parts, revised the expressions, and compensated where it is insufficient…… I think the sentences are becoming like a boxer who lost his fat greatly before measurement.
Originally, I wrote 3000 to 5000 words a day and uploaded it (at times, I even uploaded 5 chapters in a day). I wrote in such idiotic pace, so I have a lot of things that I wanted to rewrite it……!
It is getting closer to the sentences of my own satisfaction.
The cover illustration of Ogipote-san who is in charge of the illustration and character designs, is wonderful, and I want to show it to everyone quick, but for now, I think I will announce it slowly in November……!
Thanks~
Thanks For the chapter~!
Thanks for translating this as soon as the updates started again, It’s a great work.
