Because he roughly calculated that the resupply for a fully loaded mech after a battle would require approximately 500,000 Tia!

This isn't even a high-intensity battle!

"Hehe. We can use fewer missiles and opt for close-quarters combat instead. While the mechs' performance isn't as good as Lyon's Yalogantz, they far surpass those of the air pirates."

"Tch! You think you can defeat a small-time air pirate all by yourself? You're dreaming!"

Greg's crisp denial rang out, and after giving Leon and the other two a strange (pity) look, they resumed their conversation.

What a fool! He's been bought and he still doesn't know it.

"Hey! What's with those looks from you three? Are you looking down on me?"

Greg was furious when he saw the three of them completely ignoring him. He put down the dumbbells and ran to Brad's side.

"Brad, were those three looking down on me just now? You saw the look in their eyes, didn't you?"

Brad grew impatient at the somewhat agitated words in his ear and, without turning around, spoke with disdain.

"Are you out of your mind? Anyone with eyes can see that Bartofalt and the others are ignoring you. I've told you to read more books and stop thinking about exercising all the time."

"hateful!"

The logical words infuriated Greg, who turned and glared at Leon and the other two before walking over!

"Bartofalt, let's duel! I'll take on all three of you! You just agreed to come aboard and duel with me."

Looking at Greg standing before him, Leon sighed helplessly before speaking.

"Of course, but since I've already defeated you, you'll have to beat Daniel and Raymond first if you want to duel with me."

"Are you kidding me? Those two are no match for me at all. Don't waste your time."

Greg was furious.

Daniel and Raymond looked on with pity.

Poor guy, you have no idea what Leon just told us. He said he'd be in a squatting position if he didn't beat you senseless!

Do you know what kind of pain it is to squat on five small stools?

"Ahem. Lord Greg, are you afraid of being defeated by someone with glasses like me?"

Raymond adjusted his glasses slightly, stepped forward, and used reverse psychology. The method was obvious, but it was enough to work on Greg.

"Damn it! Raymond, didn't we agree that I would go first?"

Danielle watched as Raymond, who had taken the lead, began to argue.

"Hmph! Who do you think you're underestimating? Do you think I'm just a magic-wielding idiot?"

Brad's voice came through, and he looked at Daniel with anger in his eyes.

He hates being told that he only knows magic and nothing else.

Although that's not what Daniel meant, it doesn't matter to Brad!

"Hmm. I don't mean to look down on you, although your magic is not very good."

After a moment's thought, Daniel spoke honestly.

"You wretched fellow! Let's duel!"

…………

Inside the palace.

Mylenu looked at Julius, who wanted to go and fight the sky pirates, with a headache.

It seems this son is already useless?

Although she was troubled by her son's unreliability and naivety, Milennu calmly explained.

“Julius, the task of suppressing the sky pirates should be left to the kingdom’s knights and army. You simply don’t have the ability for it right now. You need more experience.”

Outside the door, Jike, having received Milenu's permission, simply walked in.

When he saw Julius's dejected look, he became somewhat worried, but the news he had heard rekindled his hope.

【Your Highness, we can also go and fight the sky pirates.】

"What's wrong, Zeke?"

Milen narrowed her eyes, making her look somewhat frightening.

After taking a deep breath, Zeke spoke nervously, "Lady Milenu, Baron Bartofart has gone to suppress the sky pirates in his warship, and Greg and Brad have gone with him. And... and Angelica too."

"Lion... you mean?"

Milenu's lips curled up slightly, but quickly fell back down, her beautiful brows furrowed with worry, as if she had heard that Angelica had also gone there.

Julius, seeing Milenu's expression as if she were thinking of her lover, began to feel a pang of self-reproach.

【Ugh! That wretched Bartofalt, I promise I won't be alone next time! I promise I won't give you a chance to see Mother!】

“Zeke, I understand. If that’s the case, please go down. It’s normal for Leon, as a knight of the kingdom, to go and fight the sky pirates. But what about Angelica?”

"Lord Milenu, this news is accurate! The Duke Redgrab's warships are already catching up with Baron Bartofart's warships because of Angelica."

After receiving confirmation from Gek, Milenu sighed softly, seemingly concerned about Angelica and Lyon traveling together.

"I understand. But even so, I will not allow you and Julius to fight against the sky pirates. You two have absolutely no knowledge of military matters."

"Mother! Then why is Bartofart able to do it? The academy doesn't offer any courses related to the military."

Julius persisted, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Because Leon is a knight of the kingdom! He fought against sky pirates during his summer vacation, while you, Julius, were with that girl during your summer vacation. Speaking of which, didn't you promise not to have any contact with him after losing the duel?"

After Milenu finished speaking, Julius was completely deflated, no longer having any thoughts.

"Lord Milenu, I recall that Baron Bartofart didn't report to the kingdom about the campaign against the sky pirates during the summer vacation?"

Jike asked with some doubt, but Milenu dismissed them both by saying she was busy with work.

"Phew! We almost got exposed. Leon didn't report these things, so we'll have to be more careful in the future. We can't cause Leon any trouble. I promised him!"

Once Milenu was alone in the office, her fair face immediately flushed bright red, and her burning earlobes were exceptionally alluring.

Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 53 Those who have killed someone know (1/3)

Above, not far from Barutona.

The airship with the black shark head hanging from it exudes a joyful atmosphere.

"That girl replied that there are only five girls and three boys on the airship. The three boys are all noble children, so we can extort some money from them. As for the girls, we'll leave them to everyone to have some fun with."

At this moment, the air pirate captain was unaware that he had been the victim of a telecommunications scam.

"Hahaha! The captain eats the meat, we'll just drink the soup!"

"I love you to death, Captain!"

Faced with the member who boldly expressed his love, the air pirate captain kicked him away, and then his expression became serious.

"Remember this: recently, some guys from who-knows-where have been attacking the floating islands. We need to finish this quickly, understand? If anyone dares to be slow and they find our location, they'll all be dead."

After the air pirate captain finished speaking, the excited air pirates immediately fell silent, and the scene became completely quiet. Fear appeared on everyone's face.

The air pirate captain was referring to as black warships that have been frequently appearing in the chaotic region recently. Every attack they make leaves no survivors and executes them with cannon fire. If they are unlucky enough to be discovered in a base, they will mine all the minerals on it before executing the enemy with cannon fire.

In short, those black warships were called Black Demons by the air pirates!

That was a terrifying warship that would make any air pirate choose to commit suicide, because if they survived being shot down, they would finish them off one by one!

…………

Barutona's training room.

Greg and Brad were squatting on the stools, staring intently ahead, completely still!

"Hehe, that's impressive. You've already established yourself in just one day. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Leon looked at the two who were being punished for losing the duel with a bright smile on his face.

Daniel and Raymond originally wanted to gamble some money, but they were both penniless, so they had to switch to squatting.

After all, they had gone through the ordeal of squatting before, so they decided to let others try it too. After all, sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone.

At first, Greg and Brad thought it was a minor issue, but they realized it was a big problem when their legs went numb from squatting. Fortunately, magic existed in this world, so their bodies were in good shape, and they quickly found themselves enjoying the squatting position.

"Master, air pirates have been detected approaching, located 10 kilometers above and behind the spaceship."

Luciano's voice came through the headset, and Lyon smiled upon seeing it.

"Daniel, Raymond! Put on your mechs and get ready for battle."

"Yoshi! My gold coins have finally arrived."

Daniel put down his equipment, filled with excitement. He was eagerly anticipating defeating the air pirates and making a fortune. His upcoming date with that girl would cost a lot of money, not to mention the island he needed to buy.

"Bartofalt, we must fight too!"

Greg and Brad got excited when they heard about the air pirate attack and loudly made their demands.

"Do you two know how to shoot down a mech with a rifle? Have you two been trained in aerial combat and evasion? Do you two even have a mech?"

In response to their request, Lyon asked them three questions in a row, which silenced them completely.

"Alright, since you two know nothing, grab the ropes and get ready to tie up the prisoners. If you can't even do that, then you might as well die."

After saying something to the two who had lowered their heads in shame, Leon walked out of the training room and headed towards the tail bay where the mechs were stored.

Above the deck, Leon and his two companions each piloted their own mechs.

Daniel and Raymond's mechs were painted dark red and light blue respectively, each with an automatic machine gun mounted on its shoulder and a box on its back containing missiles and drones.

“The air pirates are 500 meters away. There are two airships and thirteen mechs! Daniel and Raymond are in charge of six mechs, and I am in charge of seven mechs and the big airship.”

After assigning tasks to Daniel and Raymond, Lyon looked at the small airship.

"Lucasion, prepare for artillery fire! Blow up that guy who dares to show his face above us!"

In this world, warships have extremely weak attack capabilities against those above them, so in battle, they prioritize occupying the upper deck to gain an advantage. However, this rule is useless against Barutona.

"Received, master."

As Lucaccion's voice rang out, Barutona's hidden turrets appeared, and after aiming a secondary cannon at the arrogant airship, they launched an attack.

call out!

A blue beam of energy streaked across the sky, followed by a violent explosion in mid-air, turning into brilliant fireworks that illuminated the astonished face of the air pirate captain.

"Aaaaah! You damn scum, what the hell are you mech squad doing? Why the hell aren't you on the enemy's deck yet? And what the hell are you all standing there for? Back off and create some distance! You stupid bastards!"

After kicking his teammate aside, the air pirate captain immediately steered the airship backward at high speed.

"Lucasión, lock onto the missile. If you can't catch up later, shoot it down."

"Received, master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leon piloted the Arogantz and began his easy victory over the charging mechs.

on the deck.

Greg and Brad were dumbfounded as they watched the three of them dashing around and showing off their skills in the air.

"Bartofalt...they're actually that powerful?"

Greg thought he had experience fighting with his retainers, but now it seemed so ironic.

"So, they were all just going along with me?"

Greg recalled the scenes of those family knights being 'defeated' by him, and a bitter self-mockery appeared on his lips.

Stab it!

Daniel threw a crippled mech onto the deck and yelled at the two still-stunned men, "What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and tie them up! And don't damage the mechs! They're worth a lot of money!"

"Oh? Okay, okay! Sorry!"

After regaining their senses, Greg and Brad apologized, then used ropes and weapons to subdue and restrain the air pirate inside the mech. While they were binding the air pirate, a machine gun on the warship was aimed at him.

"Damn it! Are those guys just sitting around doing nothing? If this keeps up, we're going to be exposed!"

Kara angrily pounded on the window as she watched one mech after another being shot down. Then she took out a communication device from her pocket, and a noisy sound came from it.
