My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 287 Charge toward the rotary machine gun!
No one would refuse a free thug.

She's also a free female bodyguard.

Roland readily agreed to Elena's suggestion.

Then the dream ended abruptly.

When Roland woke up, all he could see when he opened his eyes was the exquisite relief on the ceiling.

And the completely transformed gray spear beside him.

The originally dark gray spear has now turned into a dark purple spear with some white patterns on it, and even its length seems to have increased.

Roland got up and sat on the edge of the bed, then picked up the spear and examined it.

It seems that Elena's attempt went very smoothly.

It actually happened...

The spear is starting to look like a high-level piece of equipment.

The previous appearance was like a rough spearhead smuggled from a blacksmith's shop, with even the spearhead not being sharp.

But now, this thing looks like a divine weapon.

Lightweight, sharp, and with decorative patterns of unclear meaning.

"Sir, can you hear me?"

Irena's voice came from the spear, passing through Roland's hand that held the spear, and directly into Roland's mind.

It seems everything is going surprisingly smoothly.

"Yeah, I can hear it."

That's good... Although it can only store a small portion of the power, it's enough for the mortal world.

【But Lord Roland, please remember, this is ultimately just a clever trick to exploit loopholes in the rules. I can unleash the true power of this weapon for you.】

However, my own power cannot be displayed too often in the mortal world... Therefore, please treat me as a trump card with limited uses.

Oh dear! I almost forgot about that!

Irena's voice paused for a moment, and Roland seemed to hear footsteps coming from inside the spear, along with some clattering sounds of something being rummaged through on the other end of the sound.

After waiting for a few minutes, Roland heard Elena's voice again.

Please keep this safe.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small sphere, half red and half white, separated from the Dark Spear and bounced into Roland's hand.

Looking at the ball in his hand, Roland felt that it looked far too familiar.

Okay, let's just call it the Poké Ball.

Or... would it be better to call it Master Ball?

Just as strange ideas were forming in Roland's mind, Elena's voice began to add to them.

Lord Roland, this sphere contains the power to interfere with the present world.

It should last about three uses. As long as you keep it within that number, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems.

By the way, just throw it out when you need it. Don't worry about the ball getting damaged. It's been stripped of the concept of 'death'.

[There's no need to retrieve it after throwing it; the Gray Spear has a tracking feature, and it will automatically teleport back after use.]

After saying that, Elena fell silent and, according to her, went to work.

Alright, I've got new equipment and items, time to start a new day.

Hmm... Go find Russell.

I'll begin physical training and, incidentally, tell my mentor the good news. I'll also inquire about the modification plans for the prototype wreckage.

If Russell can't handle it, I'll probably have to send a message to call over another good teacher and senior to help.

However, regarding the topic of modification, we should at least take the Demon King's opinion into consideration.

However, this guy's slumber has clearly lasted quite a while this time.

it should be no problem?

After glancing at the gauntlets he had placed on the table, he hesitated for a moment before hanging them on his waist.

……

"Roland! You're here! Leah got here even before you!"

In a training ground specially allocated by the Legion, Russell had changed into a white training uniform, tied up his blond hair, and looked very enthusiastic.

On a bench next to the training field, Kalia was eating breakfast with a blue lunchbox in her arms.

"Oh, Roland, you're here! Come on in, there's some for you here!"

Upon seeing Roland, Kalia quickly greeted him and then pulled a gray lunchbox from the shadows: "Here! Hiding in the shadows means you don't have to worry about it getting warm!"

"By the way, hurry up and eat, it'll all get cold if we don't eat it soon in this weather!"

Roland walked towards the chair, and after exchanging a few words with Russell, he walked onto the bench.

Although Russell said Roland arrived late, it was actually just that Kalia arrived too early.

This guy ate his fill last night and then went to wash up and rest, so he woke up especially early today.

Therefore, Russell has not yet had time to set up the teaching venue.

Although Roland didn't know what kind of place was needed for physical training... after all, this was a training ground that the legion already had, and it had everything it needed. Roland didn't know what Russell was planning to do.

But let's eat first.

Kalia is right. If we don't eat quickly, the food will get cold.

"What do you want for breakfast this morning?"

"Hehe, it's nothing really. Logically speaking, you should eat these things after your training, as it's better for your stomach." "However, since you're only one step away from becoming extraordinary, you shouldn't have to worry about your digestive system."

"So I've prepared some roasted bacon, two hard-boiled eggs with salt, and some bread for you."

Roland chuckled helplessly, "These things are fine to eat cold, aren't they?"

"Whether it's boiled eggs or bread... only bacon doesn't taste good when it's cold."

"Hey! That's true, but it's always better to eat food hot, right?!" Kalia retorted, dissatisfied.

Roland had no choice but to start eating breakfast.

Although he wasn't actually hungry right now. And eating before any strenuous exercise was definitely not a good habit.

But since we're already here, let's eat first and then talk about it.

Kalia's soft-boiled eggs were cooked to a very good consistency.

While eating breakfast, Roland observed the changes on the training field.

Russell dismantled all the equipment that was originally on the training field and then piled it outside the field.

Only after completing the cleanup work did she begin to formally arrange the tasks.

The first step was to walk to the bench at the side of the field and move the metal cabinet to Roland's left onto the field.

Ah... so these are the lockers or something like that next to the training field?
Obviously, Russell, who could create a giant enclosure that could house an entire laboratory and its instruments, could not have only made a similar device.
After Russell slammed the cabinet onto the field and began pulling out all sorts of strange things from it, Roland developed some fear of the physical training that followed.

Although he did not receive systematic training in magical technology.

But he could still recognize what those humanoid puppets were for.

Isn't this the legendary, exceptionally rare combat doll?
Legend has it that the product was created by learning to replicate the Demon King's hand.

Although its performance in all aspects is inferior to the mass-produced version of the Demon King's Hand, this doll has two undeniable advantages.

First, given its decent basic combat strength, its cost is relatively low compared to the Demon King's Hand.

Second, it has incredible modifiability! It can basically be regarded as a tactical platform, where you can stack any weapon and rune imprint on it!
However, due to technical reasons, the Academy has not yet achieved mass production and sales. The combat dolls on the market are all experimental models that the Academy periodically releases to the public.

However, Roland soon realized that this was not something that could be produced by the school.

Russell is clearly unparalleled in his ability to copy and modify technology.

Clearly, this doll was quite different from the combat dolls that Roland had seen in Toran's laboratory when they were in a shutdown state.

It looks rougher, but the frame is noticeably larger.

It's clear that they've cut corners wherever possible in terms of materials.

But... these dolls generally have four hands, and each hand has a weapon.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, as well as guns and cannons...

Roland quickly swallowed the half-eaten soft-boiled egg in his mouth, then asked Russell, "Teacher, are these training props?!"

"Isn't this supposed to be about practicing physical skills? Why does it look like it's about training my combat abilities?"

"Isn't it a bit excessive to make me deal with these training tools bare-handed?"

Upon hearing this, Russell stopped what he was doing and said with a hint of disappointment, "Sigh... my disciple."

Have you ever heard the saying...?

There is an insurmountable chasm between unarmed and armed combat.

Roland: “???”

"So what does this have to do with training?!"

Russell sighed: "Those of us who fight with our fists are naturally at a disadvantage compared to those who wield weapons."

"Therefore, for training in this area, we must start from the basics!"

"Roland! Charge at this combat dummy mounted on four six-barreled repeating heavy guns!"

"No methods other than physical enhancement are allowed!"

"what!?"

Roland, who hadn't even put down his lunchbox, was stunned by the sudden sound.

The next moment, a barrage of bullets rained down on him.

Roland originally planned to use the Wind King's Hammer to blow all the bullets away, or to use Flash to dodge them.

Although somewhat puzzled, Roland still decided to test his pure physical combat abilities.

Bloodlust Gear! Activate!

Whoosh!
With the concentrated surge of magic, Roland's physical abilities were greatly enhanced.

It unleashed a speed almost comparable to Flash in an instant.

Dodge the barrage of bullets, approach the constantly firing combat doll, and then—elbow strike!
"boom!"

With a powerful elbow strike, the doll equipped with terrifying firepower was shattered by Roland's elbow.

Wow! So handsome! Go Roland!

Kalia, who was watching the game from behind the Shadow Wall on the sidelines, kept cheering.

She came here so early just to see this, didn't she?

She just didn't expect to see such a shocking scene right away.

"Wow, this kid's really got some energy. Exercising so early in the morning. Is he feeling better now that his body's healed and he can't wait to try out his enhanced physique?"

Frum's voice came from beside Kalia, nearly scaring the child to death.

"Don't make a sound, I just came to watch the show. And... Remilia received a message, and I think it's necessary to tell Roland about it."
