133 - - The Brave Kicks the Principal of Other Schools

Day 3 of the school-to-house competition.

Today is the end of the long but short interscholastic rivalry.

In the morning, the players have arrived at the stadium.

In the waiting room.

"Aniue~. Is it over?

My brother-in-law Mikael, lying on the sofa, grumbles.

"I want to battle more and more!

My brother-in-law rests his head on my lap and flops around.

"I'm going to have as many battles as I want today," he says.

"Is that so?"

Gaius nods and says.

"The third day is not so much a competition as it is a battle using swords and magic.

Up to now, most of the events have been more of a competition.

But in the end, it's a clash of strength against strength.

"Yay!　I'm going to smash them as hard as I can!"

"You look happy, Mika. Why is that?

When Sakura asks, Mikhail's eyes light up.

"Because if I do a lot of work, I'll get praised by Anyue!　I'm so motivated!　Hey, Gaius?"

"Hey, why are you asking me to agree to this ......?"

Gaius says, looking away.

"What, you want a compliment?"

"Hmm, nothing. I don't want your praise at all.

"Oh, really?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

He wants you to praise him. He's a tsundere.

"Don't talk nonsense, you two!"

Gaius sighs.

"I've still got Chuu to do, after all."

You don't have to remember that!

I remember you said during the final competition on the first day that you wanted a reward.

"What, you want a reward chew?"

"I said I don't want it!　Stupid brother!　Bollocks!"

Gaius patted me on the shoulder.

"Are you sure you're born the wrong gender, Gaius?" You two are so close!"

Indeed," Gaius says, taking a breath.

"So, Captain. Anything you want to say to the guys for the third day?"

"Yes, ......."

All eyes are on Gaius.

"The third day is going to be a more intense ...... battle, yes, it's going to be a battle."

As long as you fight, you can hurt your opponent or be hurt by him.

"I don't know how it will turn out. But ...... you should never be forced to do it alone."

My brother looks around at all of us and says clearly.

"Don't try to carry the whole load by yourself, only one person should not be hurt or sad. We are a team, and we are friends only if we help each other.

Everyone nods in agreement.

"Okay, ......3 day 3, let's go for it!"

""""Oh! """"

Gaius exhales with relief.

The leader is getting on board after all.

Yeah, that's my proud little brother. ......

"Hmm?"

"What's the matter, brother?"

"Hmmm... ...... I have to go to the bathroom."

I leave the Royal Antechamber.

As I head toward my destination, the imperial antechamber, I strengthen my senses with my aura.

My eyesight and hearing are super-enhanced so that I can see what is going on in the room and in the distance.

>

In the anteroom of the Holy Empire stood five athletes and an unfamiliar man.

"I think that's the principal of the Imperial Kingdom, ...... Maxwell, isn't it?"

Maxwell scolds his students with a blue streak at his temple.

>

The principal kicks off a side table and points at Kazuma.

>

That last one's me.

That's what they call me.

But the principal thinks I'm the devil.

It's a shame, I guess.

I guess people in this peaceful time don't know that.

>

<>

Maxwell's order, however, is flatly denied by Kazuma.

>

<>

<>

Kazuma is always fair and square.

Maxwell is a pompous ......!　He sniffs derisively.

<

<>

Bikk!　The principal's brow furrows deeply.

>

Suddenly, Kazuma and the others collapse in place.

>

I arrive at the front of the room.

"Excuse me."

I punch the wall and go in.

Debris blows up and one of them hits Maxwell.

"Whew!"

Kazuma and the others, who had been suffering, return to their normal state.

"Julius-kun ......"

"Yo. You okay?"

I reach out my hand to Kazuma who is collapsing.

I pull him to his feet.

His forehead is sweating and he looks in a lot of pain.

He seemed to have made a spiritual contract with the principal.

"Who are you?

"Yes, I'm a student at the Royal Academy."

Maxwell stands up, looks at me and shouts.

"So ...... you are the tyrannical black devil."

"Well, I'm just a regular guy."

"Don't be ridiculous!　How could an ordinary person possibly break through the information-blocking protective wards that have been placed around this room?

"Oh, were those wards?"

I thought they were showing the information from the outside.

"......It's the devil after all. It's too dangerous. We should get rid of it here!"

Bam ......!　Maxwell pulls a cane from his pocket.

"Headmaster!　He's my dear friend!　Please don't hurt me!"

"Shut up, otherworldly!　It is our mission to kill demons!"

Kiiiinnn!　and the magic converges at the tip of the wand.

"[Hellheim Requiem]!"

An extreme dark magic is activated.

Darkness spreads over the ground, and countless tentacles spring up.

"Fall into the underworld!"

Tentacles wrap around my body ...... but I don't move an inch.

"Tei!"

Peng!　With a simple "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

"What?　That's ridiculous!　You just made an extremely powerful magic disappear?　What the hell did you do?

"Well, it was just a normal creepy thing that I had to get rid of with my hand, right?"

The principal looks shocked.

"You are an ...... idiot, you can't just simply pay for it and make it disappear without any ...... anti-magic!　You monster!"

"Hey, Kazuma. How can someone who can only use this level of extremely powerful magic be so arrogant?　You guys are a whole lot stronger than me."

Buchi ......!　Something snapped.

"You, ......!　Don't get carried away!"

The principal takes out a crystal from his pocket.

"Come out!　God's ......"

"Tei."

I walk up to Maxwell in an instant, grab the crystal from him, and squeeze.

"Bah, you idiot!　You just broke a [divine crystal] with your bare hands?　These are crystals made by the power of God!"

"Oh, really?　It was rather fragile, though."

Maxwell shudders as he turns his eyes.

"Is that all you got?　How can you be so great to students who are stronger than you when you're that good?"

"Don't get smart with me, you monster!"

He hits me with his magic-enhanced fists.

I shrug off his foot and take his arm and throw it lightly against the wall.

"Hogeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Maxwell spun around and blew through several walls and out of the building.

"That's great, Julius! That was some fine martial arts work!"

Thank you very much. I mean, why is that thing so popular?"

Kazuma scratches his head in shame.

"We have our own circumstances, you know."

"I see. ...... You're taking on a lot more trouble than I thought. Do you need a hand?

Kazuma shakes his head.

"No, this is our problem. No, this is our problem.

"I see. But if you have any problems, you can tell me right away. We're friends."

Kazuma rolls his eyes and nods firmly.

"Ah!　All right!　I promise!"
