73 - 74. Brave, Destroy the whole army on the test

We were taking our finals.

Today is the last day.

We will now begin the practical exam on magic.

The location is outside the school.

A wide prairie stretches endlessly.

"I want each of you to fire three kinds of magic at the Scarecrow from a distance.

The teacher of magic points to a scarecrow that measures the power of magic.

It is placed far from here.

There is nothing on all sides but grassland.

The school is located in the suburbs, so it is rarely visited by people.

"...... is strange."

Hmm?　What's up, little brother?"

"When I was in middle school, we had a final exam for practical magic, and it was held in the training room, right?　Why outdoors?"

The teacher says with a tired look on his face in response to his brother's question.

"This year we have an out-of-standard student named Julius. We decided that it would be dangerous to test him indoors.

"Well, it's true that my ...... brother can wreak havoc without realizing it."

Gaius says to me with a serious look on his face.

"Brother, don't cut corners on me."

"I know. I'll do my best. But you'll make sure to make adjustments so no one dies, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Yeah, but don't go easy on me, okay?

"Don't worry. We'll take it easy on you and make sure no one gets killed.

We put our fists together.

"We will now conduct a practical magic test!　One at a time, please cast a spell. Oh, Julius, you are the last one.

"What? Why?"

"If you do it first, all the students after you will lose their motivation, so it's the natural thing to do.

I don't know about you, but I'm not going to go against the proctors.

Thus, the examination began.

Three kinds of magic are used in order.

Pohi.......

Pahi.......

Shupo.......

The classmates' magic is basically chanting magic, and its power is visibly weak.

However,.......

"Oh!　Sakura, that's wonderful!　Intermediate magic [Flame Strike]."

Byo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

"Elise, you are also doing a wonderful intermediate magic [Wind Storm]!"

The members of the club use magic that is incomparably more powerful than that of the other students.

"It's thanks to Master's teachings!"

"Thank you, Julius!　Thanks to you, I can do this amazing magic without chanting!"

They embrace my arms from both sides.

"I love those two. They're getting so strong. ......

"d*mn, I should have been friends with Julius too ......!"

"I wonder if I can join the club now. ......"

The practical test went smoothly.

After a while.

"Now, the last ...... is Mr. Julius von Carlisle!

"Yes, sir."

The teacher calls me forward.

Zzza zzza ......!

"What, why is everyone moving away from me?"

"Behind me!　Michael, you too, put up wards!"

Gaius deploys a magical barrier.

"Aniue said she'd adjust it so it doesn't kill. Why do you need the wards?"

"Even if you don't kill people, you can do enough to change the terrain with ease, can't you, my friend?

Michael nods and deploys the greatest defensive magic an angel can use.

"Here we go!"

A magic circle develops around me.

Countless of them overlap each other.

"First, the Nova Strike!"

Suddenly, a huge magic circle appears in the sky.

From it, a huge ball of fire appears, which looks like a small sun.

It falls to the ground and causes a tremendous explosion.

BOOM!

Grasslands are instantly reduced to ash.

The hot wind blows away the surrounding trees and other debris with ease.

"Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh!　Shhhh, shhhh!"

"Everybody hold on!　The wards are ......!　We can't hold on!　Mikhail's wards are at their limits!"

I use the second kind of magic.

"Then, Divine Lightning Sword!"

Suddenly, a dark cloud descends.

A huge thunder sword falls to the ground.

Crap. ......!

Zdooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

"Heeeeyyyy!　It's the end of the world!

"We've hit the other side of the planet!　Aniue sukkousui!"

"This is ridiculous!　I can't believe it was so easy to crack the wards that me and the cutest angel put up with all our might!"

I'll take it easy on you.

Besides, my brothers are watching.

I won't be a fool.

"Finally, Innocent Shine."

Another magic circle appears in the sky.

From there, a giant goddess of light appears.

"It is the Goddess ...... of Light herself!"

"You summoned the God of Creation ......?

I thought, "You know well as a student," but it seems that someone else shouted.

Summoned by magic, the Goddess of Light spreads her hands.

A dazzling light fills the ground.

Instantly, the destroyed earth and the hole in the star that had been pierced are restored as if nothing had happened.

The classmates, including Gaius and Mikael, are stunned.

Only silence remained.

"Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"" It's a monster!"

From somewhere, there is a shout and the sound of many footsteps of something running away.

"Well done, Julius!"

The teacher shakes my hand with a big smile on his face.

"All of them were wonderful magic!　Fire magic for widespread annihilation, lightning magic for a star-piercing crash, and light magic to instantly heal everything it destroys!　It's nothing short of spectacular!"

"Oh, yeah?　2000 years ago, this was normal, right?"

"I'm scared!　2000 years ago, I'm scared!"

Gaius held his head and screamed.
