Episode 36

I saw it clearly then. The red spark splashes from the fingertips of Erica and then disappears. Looking in the direction of the spark, there was a tiny scratch on the wooden wall.

“Erica…”

Looking back slowly, Erica opened her eyes wide and looked down at her hand as if she could not believe it.

“N, no way…….”

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, either. I didn’t know this would happen.

“Yes, that’s it, Erica!”

I approached as I liked it, Erica still muttered, looking down at her hands with a dumb face.

“So, this is the feeling of how you want to kill someone….”

I’m sorry, Cassius. But thanks to you, I got an unexpected harvest.

“I never thought You’d find it so soon! Besides, it’s quite powerful!”

“I can’t believe I’m using magic.….”

Erica, admiringly, flipping her palm and looking back and forth.

“It’s so amazing!”

A gleam of joy shone on her face.

I thought it was good. Since basic attacks were possible, if we practised more, she wouldn’t be out of the combat class after being beaten up anymore.

“Erica, you’ve also made a basic attack, so let’s do one more magic and then go.”

“Okay!”

Erica smiled broadly and burned her will even though she had been wrestling with magic for hours with me.

“Then let’s do this next. I think this is right in order.”

I gave the book that I had opened up beforehand to Erica and talked cheerfully.

Erica, who had her eyes fixed on the book for a while, began to memorize the magic circle by drawing a circle with her fingers, saying, “I see.”

I looked at her and thought to myself.

‘I didn’t even think it would be real….’

Now I thought I could be a little relieved.

‘Or maybe the kind of magic she’d become good at has changed…’

I didn’t know the result unless I tried it. I decided to wait until Erica memorized the magic circle.

“I think I’m ready. I’ll try again.”

“Oh, wait a minute, this time I’ll stand opposite you.”

“Oh, well, I guess we should.”

This time, the process was the same. Erica stood at one end of the battlefield, took a deep breath and closed her eyes and focused. I looked at her like that and held my breath.

“Uh…… Erica, do you think it’s working?”

With her hands raised high in the air, she replied.

“I do, but……… I don’t know!”

“For now, I understand, so let’s try it.”

And I came up with a magic circle in my head.

“I’ll use it weakly, so don’t worry and keep it going.”

At the end of that remark, I drew a thin stream of water from the tip of my finger and came towards Erica. As soon as the stream of water stretching out along the line reached Erica, the air was hazy. And as if the stream had hit something, it couldn’t move forward and bent and flowed to the floor.

“Yerine! This is….”

I smiled at Erica, who looked at the stream with a surprised look.

The only magic that Erica in the original could do, which could not do any magic. It was defensive magic.

“As expected, attack magic, then defence magic.”

With a proud smile, I walked one step forward proudly.

“I told you, Erica. We’ll find it.”

That night when the moonlight was flowing through the windows, the light in the Battlefield Hall did not go out until late at night.

“Uh, it’s finally over……!”

Rachel said, stretching her body to the full.

Today was Friday, and we just finished the last Combat Class of the week.

“It’s fun to have a lot of practical class rather than just listening, but don’t you think they consume too much energy?”

I asked Rachel as I packed my writing equipment.

Rachel yawned and replied with a slightly sleepy look.

“Oh, that’s true.”

“Let’s go and eat. You can just go to the cafeteria today.”

“Yes. We can meet with A-class kids then take Erica right away.

Then Cassius looked back and asked me.

“Are you going straight to the restaurant today?”

“Yes, Professor Frain said I could just go today.”

“I see.”

He replied, rolling up the hem of his slightly charred shirt because of the spark I blew. I hope you don’t misunderstand. I already apologized and offered to buy him a new shirt, but he didn’t accept it.

For your information, I’m going to buy a new shirt and throw it in Cassius’s face so that he can’t refuse it later. While waiting for Cassius, who was packing until the last minute, Eugene, who had already packed up, headed for the back door without looking back.

“Hey, why are you so busy? The class is over, anyway.”

When I called him up, Eugene sighed but eventually looked back.

“What is it? It’s up to me anyway.”

“Hey, come on, you’ve got to organize the class journal with me anyway. Just eat together then do it together. It’s annoying to meet separately.”

At my words, Eugene groaned painfully.

He probably has no choice but to agree with my argument that it is inefficient to meet separately. He just has to let go of his pride and accept it, but he seems to live a very tiring life.

“…okay.”

“That’s right.”

Nodding my head satisfactorily, I moved on.

“Then let’s hurry up and go to the A-Class kids.”

The four of us were S-classes, and Rayl and Astra were A-classes, so we would often meet together after class and bring Erica out of 3rd-class.

It was the first time Eugene joined.

After a long time, Astra and Rayl were putting a band-aid on their faces one by one, as if they were fighting a bloody fight.

“Gasp, you guys had a rough day….”

Then Astra replied,

“No, it’s just that…. Why must I be paired with him in the combat class today?”

Astra talked to Rayl, who was standing next to her.

Well, it wasn’t strange that each of them had a scar because they were the best in the A-Class.

“Ah…..then that scar of Rayl’s is that Astra….”

“Yes. A leader who punches mercilessly. You’re so mean.”

Rayl talked while acting as a poor enemy, crying.

“Hey……You won anyway by using your talisman….”

Astra spoke in a sullen voice.

“Yes, yes. Stop fighting now. You both suffered.”

Rachel talked skillfully mediating the situation.

“Huh? But there’s Eugene, too. What brings you here?”

She spoke in a rather welcome voice as if she had only discovered Eugene.

For your information, Rayl and Astra were generous enough to tolerate Eugene’s dirty personality and play along with it.

“Hey, now you’re finally thinking about getting close to us? I’m touched.”

Astra talked with Rayl, trying to kill his mood.

Until then, with his mouth shut, he murmured with clenched teeth towards the two who gave a strong welcome.

“oush noish (you’re noisy)……….”

“Oh, you actually like it very much, don’t you? Don’t you?”

“That’s right, that’s right. When you see him like this, Eugene is actually very shy!”

Eventually, Eugene, whose anger exploded, screamed.

“Shut up! I’m not like that!”

Behind her back, the sound of Eugene’s retribution, and the sound of Astra and Rayl giggling resonated in the hallway.

Rachel shook her head, and, of course, Cassius, who had not thought much, was looking out the window with his bright yellow eyes.

“Still the same today.”

He smiled forward, not looking behind him.

“These two really.”

It was just when Eugene, who was so angry from behind, was screaming again. An unusually strong wind brushed past my face.

In a moment, my hair was all turned upside down, covering my face with my arms and opening my eyes. The wind came so suddenly upon us that we all stopped in the middle of the corridor and stood still for a while, being puzzled.

A sudden wind blew out some torches that were hanging in the hallway.

But after the wind swept by, the corridor again became as silent as usual.

“The wind?”

“What was that just now?”

The wind was extremely cool and cold.

But now the corridor was so quiet, even though such a strong wind had scratched it.

“What, just now?”

Astra crawled in and muttered in a shrill voice.

I jerked my head back, but there was no one behind us.

We were really the only ones walking through that quiet corridor.

“Why do I have a bad feeling about this?”

There’s no reason for the sudden wind to blow indoors.

At that time, Cassius, who was looking around for something like me, hardened for a moment, and finally began to scream like crazy.

“Everyone run behind you!”

At the same time, at the other end of the corridor, we could see an unknown black object flying towards us.

The object, which looked like a cape flying in the air, had a curious look as if it had human arms and legs around it.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Someone screamed as the huge objects rushed at us at a terrifying speed.

I pushed out an arm, which I didn’t even know whose belonged to, and then I squeezed my palm right to the floor and put it on the stone floor.

“Get out of the way!”

In an instant, a high wall popped out of the floor.

I don’t know what it is, but just before those monstrous things that would certainly end up hitting us, the walls that touched the ceiling completely blocked the void, and the monsters were trapped on the other side of the corridor.

I shouted back, concentrating as much as I could to prevent the wall from collapsing.

“Somebody go and call the professor!”

“Yerine ”

“Hurry up!”

I looked back, screaming horribly. But just then, Rachel’s face, which was looking at me, was filled with amazement.

“Yerine, in front of you!”

Somehow the monsters were in front of me. I’m sure, it must have been blocked by the wall, but why?.

“Huh?”

Only then did I see it. The way it passes through the wall really slowly like ghosts looks so unpleasant.[1]

I saw it as the shadow of it, which came as if it were a huge reaper, fluttering in black and frightened, cast upon me. The monster opens its huge cave-like mouth with terrible teeth. It’s too late to avoid.

“Damn it~”

Raising my right hand, I desperately recalled a magic circle.

When the mouth of the monster, who was about to eat my hand before the flame, was only 30 centimetres ahead, a golden object came out in a flash and broke in between the monsters.

“Yerine!”

I could hear Cassius’s urgent cry in my head.

A tremendous roar rang out across the hall, and the monster twisted his body in anguish.
