105 - - The Brave Goes to Reconnaissance Other Schools

The next day, I united with my friends.

I was visiting the Holy Empire with my brother.

We were in front of the school gate of the academy in the Imperial Kingdom.

"Brother, I was the only one who could have done the reconnaissance.　You didn't have to skip school all the way."

In the school battle, you will fight against unknown opponents: demons and otherworldly reincarnated persons.

Therefore, it is essential to have information about your opponent.

"If you're alone, I'm sure you'll do something. I'll have to keep a closer eye on you than an infant. Besides, the players who participate in the school matches are exempted from classes until the tournament is over.

"I see......... school wants you to win, so they're going to be flexible. ......?　Didn't you just say something awful?"

"Come on, it's not your imagination, is it?"

"What the hell, you're a pain in the ass. Is it that thing where you're intentionally cold to the girl you like?

"B, b, b!　Heh, don't be weird!　What if someone is watching!"

"Yeah, I'm looking at you.　Hey."

I look behind Gaius.

"?　There's nobody here, is there?"

"No, I'm here. Hey, stop sneaking around like that and come over here."

The space warped limply .......

A female student in a red uniform came out of nothingness.

"And the captain of the Eastern Federation!

"Yo, Dantalion."

She comes up to us with a ghostly gait.

Tall.

And long, dark hair that reaches to the ground.

Her bangs completely hide Dantalion's face.

"Hello ...... Mr. Julius ...... how do you do?"

"Oh, how do you do?"

While he greeted them normally, Gaius shivered.

"I didn't sense you at all. I was always supposed to be prepared for a surprise ......."

"We don't detect signs, we detect souls. Because as long as it's a living thing, it has a soul."

"Hmmm...as expected of Julius-sama...to wear such an advanced technology ...... as soul sensing without a care in the world... ..."

We can't see their faces, but they don't seem to be emotionless.

"What are you doing here?　Reconnaissance?"

"Yes,...... I'm also ...... curious about what other schools are up to,...... so it's ...... odd. It's ......."

Gaius grits his teeth.

"What a coincidence!　How is it possible that we come to the same place at the same time!"

"Well, well, well. Don't let this get to you. You knew you were being watched, didn't you?

!　Were you aware of it all along?"

"Oh. When I first met Dantalion in the board chairman's office. Well, he didn't interfere, so I let it go."

"Excellent ...... not only for seeing through ...... my spells, but also for daring ...... to swim... ...You were measuring the level of our art at ......."

Well, that's what I mean.

Otherwise, there's no point in leaving it unattended even though you're aware of it.

"Peeping is not a good hobby of mine. If there's something you want to know, why don't you just come here and be fair?"

"Yes, ...... sorry ...... but I did see some ...... good stuff, so ...... "

Dantalion approaches Gaius.

"Master Gaius, I ...... have something ...... to ask you."

What the hell? I'm not going to tip my hand about any more battles, am I?"

She says in a very serious tone.

"Are you Gaius x Julius ......?　Or is it ...... Yuri x Guy ......?"

Suddenly, his brother was puzzled.

"What are you talking about?

"Do you mean that Gaius-sama is ...... aggressive or ...... receptive?"

"I'm sorry, I just don't understand."

Hmmm," says Dantalion, placing his hand on his chin.

"Are you not ...... homos*xual, Master Gaius?"

"Is ......?　Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Gaius is all upset, his face turning red.

"Dantalion! Gaius is straight."

"Well, it's ...... too bad ....... I thought for sure you were a ...... recipient. ......"

"Hey!　Don't use words I don't know to describe me!　What do you mean?

"Well, never mind. It's just the way the world works."

"Julius-sama knows ...... everything, ...... indeed."

Somewhat.

"Well, let's go inside."

"No,...... Mr. Julius,...... I will stay here,...... excuse me."

"What's the matter?　Are you worried about warding off demons?"

"What?　What's a ...... boundary, my brother?"

"Oh. Well, it's no problem."

I take out my magic sword and swing it lightly.

"Okay. Let's go."

We entered the premises with two stunned people, and that's when it happened.

"Oh, intruders with demons?　Ha ha!　There are some daredevils out there!"

Lightning strikes right in front of us.

When the lightning subsides, there is a small boy in a blue uniform.

"Are you a representative of the Holy Empire?"

That's right. How did you know?

"Well, I can tell that you're a reincarnation from another world, can't I?

"Hmmm......... These uniforms contain the best-kept secret formula for concealing one's powers, and you can still see through them. You're as bad as they say."

The boy grins at me.

"Well, you're no match for me or Kazuma-senpai!"

The boy smiles, looking winning.

Gaius, on the other hand, is in a cold sweat.

"......Wow, I can feel your power. Is this what you're holding ......?　Is this the reincarnation of ......?"

"Is that the head of the Royal Academy you're freaking out about there?"

A boy approaches, hands in his pockets.

"Hi, I'm [Alto]. I'm Alto Hakuba. I'm a freshman of the Holy Empire. Nice to meet you.

Smiling broadly, Alto says.

"You don't look so bad compared to your brother, do you?

Gaius wrinkles his brow.

"...... shut up. I know that better than anyone."

"Really? Then why are you the captain?　If you do it, you'll have a better chance of winning, won't you?"

The younger brother bites his lip and turns his head down.

I stand in front of him, protecting him.

"Our leader is Gaius. We've made our decision together. I don't want anyone else to interfere."

"Brother ......"

"Hmmm, I see. Then all the members of the Royal Family are not so good. This is the leader of the group.

Yikes!　A blue streak appears on Gaius' forehead.

"Take it back!"

"No, it's true, you're a small fish, aren't you?

"No!　Not to me!　For insulting my brother and his friends!"

Alto smiles.

"Well, how about a mock battle?　I'll apologize if you win."

I'll take it!

Alto and Gaius are going to distance themselves from us.

"Should we ...... not stop them?　I thought I'd have to expose my ...... hand ......."

"I won't stop you. He doesn't fight to vent his anger. Especially when it's a fist wielded to defend the honor of a friend."

Gaius creates two wooden swords and takes a stance.

He does not seem to use the Warriors' Sword.

Even though he is angry, he must be restraining himself from exposing all the cards in his hand.

"Then, I'll play one sword. If you get a blow in, you win.

In contrast, Alto does not take out his weapon.

His hands are in his pockets and his posture is natural.

"You lickety-split!

Gaius activates the forbidden technique.

He charges at Alto with his super-enhanced legs.

"Yes!"

Gaius' twin swords are swung.

But the blades cut through the air.

"What?　Gone ...... gah!"

Bee, bee, bee!　An electric current runs through his brother's body.

Gaius, now blackened, falls to the ground.

"What?　No way.　Is that all you got?　Pfft, you're too weak."

Alto looks down at his brother and smiles mockingly.

Gaius is out cold with white eyes.

I heal Gaius with healing magic.

"Are you all right?"

He pulls on his brother's arm and helps him to his feet.

"What the hell was that? That was too fast. It's like ...... lightning. What the hell is this?"

"This is the captain?　I think you're a laughingstock."

Alto says, disappointed.

Gaius bites his lip in frustration.

I pat my brother on the head and say

"The ability to turn existence into lightning. That's a nice thing to have.　

Alto is constantly activating his ability to turn existence itself into lightning.

It's no wonder his brother's attacks never hit.

He turns into lightning before it hits and is evaded with lightning speed.

"Oh!　That's great, Julius!　You saw through my abilities!　Kazuma-senpai has a good opinion of me!"

"...... Oh no. It's too bogus that our attacks don't hit and theirs do.

"It's a cheat, of course it is. We have [cheats] and are so powerful that everyone thinks we're cheating.

Alto smiles triumphantly.

"What do you think?　Do you want to give up and withdraw from the competition?"

"That's not ...... possible!"

Gaius says proudly and proudly.

"I'm tired of seeing you be unreasonably strong. This is not going to break me!"

His eyes were straight ahead, looking at the enemy.

No bluff.

They were filled with genuine fighting spirit.

"Besides, you're a fool. And you're a fool for revealing to me your best-kept secret. ...... [I see it]. By the next time, I'll win."

Alto shudders and shudders.

"Heh, heh!　You're a sore loser, aren't you!　There's no way that I, who have the power of the invincible [Indra], can lose!"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Alto looks at me.

"You have a lot of confidence, don't you? The other guy is lightning itself.

"Yeah, so?"

"I'll tell you what ....... I'll show you how strong I am.

Alto shrinks back and comes at us with lightning speed.

I half-squirm to avoid his fist, and lightly tap the back of his neck.

Dogaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Alto hits the ground.

"Ba, idiotic ...... thunder goddess, right ......?　How can an attack hit ......?"

"What, you can break a thunderbolt with your bare hands, normally?"

"You're not ...... normal,...... you're too ...... stupid,......"

Alto fainted.

"You really defy the impossible, don't you, brother? But that's okay, let's show our hands.

"Well, my dear brother was mocked. I hope you'll let me off the hook for this."

"Oh my ...... brother's an idiot ......."

Gaius smiled happily as he patted his brother on the head.

"Brotherly love...... forbidden relationship......Yuri x Gai...... is the best."

"Will you please shut up for a minute!　You're ruining everything!"
