Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

It was almost sunset by the time we had settled down after our tussle with Axel and Amanda.

The first day’s training consisted of a long-distance swim, a marathon, and magic power release to confirm the basic skills needed to form a platoon.

The long-distance swim consisted of swimming around a “float” set up 20 kilometers away and returning while still wearing clothes.

Even a long swim in the ocean is tricky and there is even a risk of drowning if you are wearing clothes.

In the middle of a battle, no one will give you life jackets or swimsuits.

「ＧｏＧｏＧｏ！」

At the instructor’s signal, the soldiers started running from the beach toward the sea.

While most of them jumped into the sea, some of them used their divine objects to glide on the sea like riding a surfboard.

Right, we were not told to swim.

Yui activated her divine object.

She ran and stepped off the beach to the water as if she’s doing a long jump.

After jumping about 5 kilometers, she landed on water.

However, Yui did not sink into the water but kicked the water like a thrown stone bouncing on the surface.

Yui immediately put her foot on the other side of the float and tried to turn but perhaps it was still too difficult for her, she sank into the sea up to her thighs.

Still, Yui kicked the water with her foot and escaped into the air.

As it was, by kicking the surface of water, she was able to run through the ocean back to the beach.

It looks like there’s nothing to worry about so let’s go too.

I floated on the spot using magic.

「Static levitation!? Without magic tools!?」

The instructor, who was watching from the back, was astonished.

Magic is physical science that operates on a different logic than the science known here.

If you simply want to fly, there are several ways to do it such as manipulating the wind or gating propulsion from an explosion.

However, to fly like I am doing now, without affecting the sand beneath my feet, you need to be very good at it.

In this world, where magic theory seems to be behind, this instruction is excellent at noticing it.

I accelerated fast and spun around the float, reaching the goal at the same time as Yui.

Of course, I came in first.

The soldiers with divine objects advantageous in this even followed.

The soldiers returned to the beast at a speed incomparable to normal people though they were still far behind us.

「You’re all pretty fast. I think all of you are fast enough to beat the world record.」

「「「Why aren’t you even sweating!」」」

The soldiers’ voices beautifully harmonize in surprise.

「Damn it! I’m not going to lose in the marathon! After all, our advantages are different! You hear that! It’s a marathon! Don’t be a coward and fly like you just did!」

Axel was now totally seeing me as a rival.

It’s not worth the trouble to keep getting teased.

I guess I’ll just have to show him a little more of my skills.
