Academy Main Building, Student Council Room.

"Then, let's begin."

Haruna, in front of me, closed her eyes and raised her hand above my head.

In her other hand, she tightly gripped a rosary, assuming a prayer-like posture.

"Once I activate the magic, your body will transform into another. You will remain in this transformed state for only two hours, during which you must resolve everything."

Light began to emanate from Haruna's rosary.

"But just because my body changes doesn't mean I can use its abilities, right?"

Surely, if my body changed, aspects like my mana might increase, but the real issue was knowledge.

To use magic, you need to understand its theory and also develop a certain intuitive feel for it.

Haruna shook her head in response.

"It's not just a body switch. Essentially, your consciousness will enter that person, so you'll be able to access all the knowledge that the future you possesses."

Being able to access knowledge...?

"Does accessing the knowledge mean I can see how I grow in the future?"

"Yes. You will know everything from the path that person has walked, to what abilities they can use, and even how to use those abilities."

The future me.

The me from the strongest timeline.

It's practically an answer key.

A guide indicating where I should head.

Is this what Haruna meant by doing this for the future?

"Then, I'm ready."

As I agreed, intense light spilled from the rosary.

I closed my eyes and surrendered to the light.

Suddenly, my body felt like it was swept into some space.

My body jolted, feeling strange, and I opened my eyes.

Haruna was nowhere, and only darkness greeted me.

Ugh! What.

Then, suddenly, my body started to move rapidly.

My head is spinning.

Being swept somewhere.

Into the darkness.

I kept going into it, falling endlessly.

"What is this...!"

I tried to get a hold of myself, but the dizziness made it hard to grasp the situation.

As I was pulled further into the darkness, I saw a distant light.

My body started moving towards it.

I tightly shut my eyes against the overwhelming brightness.

I felt the light weakening and blinked my eyes open.

Ah?

Before my eyes, an unbelievable sight unfolded.

Collapsed buildings.

The surroundings looked like ruins.

Only the sight of a vast wasteland, consumed by flames, was visible.

I stood in the center of it all.

"Where is this."

With a baffled expression, I surveyed the surroundings.

Something was odd.

Despite the devastation, the place felt familiar.

Weirdly the surroundings felt familiar.

The mountain visible in the background

The positions of the collapsed buildings.

And then

Ah?

The clothes I was wearing.

It was Liberion Academys uniform.

There was only one place where Id wear this uniform.

AhAcademy?

This was Liberion Academy.

And then...

When I tried to look elsewhere, my body began to be swept away just like when I came here.

"What is this!!"

I tried to shout, but it felt as if something was choking me.

Then... I lost consciousness.

"Ugh..."

I slowly started to regain consciousness.

"Are you alright?"

I heard Haruna's voice beside me.

"Uh... I think I'm okay..."

I spoke to Haruna while slowly lifting my body.

How do you feel? Does it seem like you came back normally?"

"Normally......?"

How would I know if the one who used the magic doesnt know?

I looked at Haruna, wondering what she meant.

Seeing Haruna's face, I felt something was off.

Even though she had her eyes open, her focus was not right.

Empty pupils.

Despite me standing in front of her, it was as if she wasn't seeing me.

As if she couldnt see anything at all

"Haruna, are you okay?"

Yes, I'm fine. I just can't see in front of me, but everything else seems fine.

And that's okay?

We need to treat you right now

"No."

Haruna spoke firmly.

We have more pressing matters at hand.

"That's right. We don't have time to take it easy."

Then, a voice was heard from behind me.

A green-colored magic creature was sitting behind me.

"...Sylph?"

I stood up again and looked at my opponent.

I walked towards him.

"Huh!"

He gripped his greatsword, dark energy swirling around it, and approached me quickly.

It was undoubtedly threatening.

If it could emit sword aura to that extent, the original me would have never won.

Given his enhanced physique and regenerative ability, there was no way my past self could've defeated him.

But now, it's different.

From what I knew, a space magic user was a swordsmans worst nightmare.

When you slice through space, you can cut through even the most solid objects.

A swordsman's physical enhancement ability would be practically useless.

If I use the other abilities I have on top of that......

The opponent swiftly approached and opened his mouth.

"One Slash."

He lifted his sword and slashed it down from above.

"Dark Flame."

A massive sword strike flew towards me.

A tremendous sized sword strike.

It was something I can dodge, but Rie and Yuni were behind me.

"Priscilla."

As I spoke, a large wolf appeared behind me.

A wolf with a mix of blue and silver fur.

It was the Ice Elemental, Priscilla.

"Freeze it."

"Grrrrr......"

As I spoke, Priscilla stretched her leg forward.

As Priscilla took a step forward, the dark sword energy gradually slowed down and began to freeze.

From the ground up, all of the sword energy began to freeze.

It was Priscilla's ability to freeze even mana.

"Hah......!"

The opponent, seeing this, looked at me as if in disbelief.

"Shall we finish this then?"

I looked at the frozen sword aura and slightly raised the corners of my mouth.

Then, Priscilla spoke from behind me.

"What's gotten into you?"

Priscilla spoke to me as if she didnt understand.

"Oh, Priscilla. We'll talk later..."

"Why did you summon me?"

"Huh?"

I opened my eyes wide.

Priscilla seemed different.

The Priscilla of the future...

"I'm sorry, Priscilla. It seems like now is not the time for conversation."

I smiled awkwardly and spoke to Priscilla.

"Can you freeze that guy for now?"

"...Fine."

Priscilla glanced at me with a slight glare and nodded.

The opponent attempted to swing his sword again.

But before that, Priscilla's mana moved, and his legs slowly began to freeze.

Kuh.

He looked at his freezing legs and scowled.

In a bold move, he cut off his own legs with his greatsword.

Blood splattered, and he collapsed to the ground.

It was meaningless.

Without legs, he couldn't move.

Freezing him was an action meant to immobilize him, so it didnt matter.

"Spatial Rift."

"Ah."

The opponent opened his mouth when he heard my words.

A rift formed in the center of his collapsed body.

"I... will... not... die...!"

"Sure, you won't."

I clenched my fist tightly.

Then, bits of his flesh splattered around.

From his face to his body, he was fragmented into pieces.

The opponent couldnt even scream properly and turned into small flesh lumps.

A technique that inflicts a shock to the space itself, tearing everything in that place into pieces.

Its power was, needless to say, immense.

However, the opponent's body was extremely bizarre.

The fallen flesh slowly gathered.

Like a split slime rejoining, it wobbles and regenerates.

"I... will... not... die..."

He spoke again as he regenerated.

I could continue to inflict pain in this way, but that would be time-consuming.

I had limited time with this body.

However, that wasn't the real issue.

Yuni, lying down.

I have to treat Yuni quickly.

If it gets any later, it might become serious.

"Space Creation."

Then, a black circle was drawn, and a new space emerged.

"Swallow him."

I put mana into that space and sucked the opponent into it.

"Ah..."

The opponent's body began to be sucked into the space before it could regenerate again.

"Kuaaak... The master will...!"

The opponent tried to shout something, but he was sucked into the space.

"Whew..."

I exhaled deeply after watching that.

*I originally tl'd this as spatial slice, but I think spatial slash sounds better.
