“Nina! Come here for a moment!”

I shouted to Nina who was fighting against a demon 1-on-1. The smile on her face can be seen even from afar. What a sturdy fellow.

“What is it?! Are you giving me more equipment?!”

She joyfully ran back and stood just in front of me. I suddenly had the urge to pat her head but decided not to.

“You can read right?”

“Of course!”

Hearing her confident reply, I passed a small piece of paper to her. Then, I lighted a luminescence scroll to make it easier to read.

“Cut off the glove’s mana supply for a moment. Then, when you applied mana again, read this paper aloud. Ok?”

“I-I’ll try…”

She seemed to be nervous. Oh. I remember that chants were treated as something rare. Well, it’s too late to mind it now. She took a few steps back and cut off the mana supply.

She took a deep breath, calming her slightly trembling body. Not long after, the glow of the glove’s magic circle returned. That same instant, she started reading the paper out loud.

[Cleaving through the endless battlefields! Unfading strength reigns! Gather! Converge! Follow the command of the contractor of the sixth gate! «Panzer»!!!]

The blinding light that was released right after caused me to keep my eyes shut. When I opened my eyes once more, my breath was taken.

“Amazing!!! Look’s cool!!!”

Nina shouted excitedly after seeing how the gloves transformed. Now, instead of the normal brown leather gloves, it turned into what seems like a pair of gauntlets. It looks heavy due to its large appearance, about half a meter wide, but after seeing how Nina tested it by releasing a few jabs quickly, I was relieved.

The appearance was nothing short of breath taking. It was of pure white color and covers her hands up to her elbow. The thickness seems to be about a couple of inches and the shine is reminiscent to porcelain. Matched with the smooth design and sharp looking claws. It looks cool alright.

“Go get them.”

“Alright!!!”

Hearing my urging, she quickly dashed towards the front. Her speed seemed to have dropped. I felt worried for a moment but it seems that it was uncalled for.

In just a single punch, a demon got smashed into a pulp. The person herself didn’t look surprised but everyone except her were. She jumped to the next demon and the same thing occurred.

I remembered her telling me that women cannot fight… Seeing this scene, her words felt like a joke.

Then, on the next demon, she seems to be testing something and released a kick instead. The monster only staggered back. Looks like her power was focused on the gauntlets. She quickly released an uppercut as a follow-up that made the demon’s head to fly away for quite a distance.

She rampaged around the battlefield. When I imagined that the way she fights was similar to how I did mine, a shiver ran down my spine. That’s not funny even as a joke. Though I don’t remember how I fought.

It didn’t even take 15 minutes before the battle ended. The guards cheered loudly in response. Not long after, a similar shout was heard from the other side. Looks like it went well for the other two as well.

We returned to the camp site with Nina being praised by the surrounding soldiers. From the other side, Blaire and Mary looks to be in the same situation as Nina. Since nobody saw how I fought, I was spared from that much attention.
