Book 10: Chapter 5: Part 2

Heres the chapter, enjoy~

Part 2

Thus began the days of training with Zenovis-san.

My current goal was not only to reach the ultimate form in swordsmanship that I was made to experience that day, but also to be able to cut anything with the wooden sword that I continue to train with today.

Incidentally, if I use the sword with the power of the [Holy Kings Authority], I will be able to cut through a certain amount of things with this wooden sword, just as I was able to cut through the ground that day.

However, that was not what Zenovis-san was expecting.

He wanted me to be able to cut anything by simply swinging the wooden sword without any enhancements.

Therefore, I was forbidden to use Holy and Evil power, even magic power, and spent many days just swinging the wooden sword.

I wondered if I could practice for days like this, but with the help of Lanael-san, I was able to practice without worrying about the time.

Well, I was glad to have Observer-samas permission! Now you can train as much as you want, and if you can solve this case safely, I can send you back to your original time!

As I had heard from Zenovis-san, the individuals in the upper dimension had power beyond my imagination, and it seemed that manipulating time was no big deal.

However, since Argenas world had nothing to do with observers, observers could not use their power as they wished, and the time manipulation was limited to me only.

Well, even this is quite reckless. Thats why Ill definitely have Yuuya-san become stronger and defeat the sentinel of the false god!

I-I will do my best

Thats all I could answer now.

In any case, the state that Zenovis-san was looking for was for the sword and I to be completely united, and all the movements of the sword swing must be natural. There was no way I could learn it overnight.

However, Zenovis-san, who was extremely spartan, would bring in super-powerful monsters from somewhere and then make me fight them without any kind of reinforcement.

Hah!

Guoooooooo!

I didnt know how much time had passed already, but I thought I had improved my sword handling compared to when I first started.

Even now, I managed to fight against the SS-class monster Tyrant Wolf.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Guhh!

Sorry, I lied.

As expected, I think its impossible to fight an SS-class monster without using Holy power or magic power!

However, Zenovis-san would never accept the voice of my heart, and he told me something even more hopeless.

Im telling you, that monster is clothed in a special magic power, so physical attacks wont work.

How am I supposed to defeat it?

How can I defeat it with a mere wooden sword if physical attacks were ineffective?

Its no wonder it didnt respond to my slashing at it earlier!

While I was desperately trying to escape, the Tyrant Wolf unleashed its magic mercilessly!

Gaaaaaaaah!

Huh!?

I realized that I couldnt avoid the fire that was being unleashed at the rate that it filled my field of vision. I thought it was a futile resistance, but as I took a defensive stance, the fire suddenly split in half.

Dont try to defend it. Cut it down.

Mmh, this is ridiculous

I was surprised to hear that Zenovis-san, who was in a remote position, had cut that fire in half.

However, its not just that I dont want that to be required of me, or

Then, Zenovis-san continued.

Listen, even magic can be cut. You cant cut it because you think that magic is not something that can be cut. You have to believe strongly. Thats more important than you might think.

T-thats a powerful belief

Magic is not effective against physical attacks. The most important thing is to strongly remind yourself that you are going to cut the other persons magic power. Dont worry. You are stronger than you think. Believe in yourself.

..

I was suddenly told this in a gentle voice, and strangely enough, the words entered my mind easily.

I had been somewhat unsure of my own strength until now.

There were many strong people like Master Usagi and Iris-san

But now that I am fighting with just a wooden sword and Zenovis-san says I am strong, I think I can believe in myself a little bit

From that point on, I kept telling myself over and over in my head that it would be okay, that I would definitely be able to cut it without any basis to back it up.

Gaaaaaaaaaah!

..

Cut it. Cut it. Cut it.

I can cut it.

My thoughts were rapidly disappearing, and the scenery around me was losing its color. I only recognized the opponent that stood in front of me.

Somehow I forgot to breathe, and I didnt even know what I was doing.

And then.

Hmm Youve finally reached it, huh?

!

Suddenly, Zenovis-sans words jumped into my ears, and my vision quickly returned to normal, and I regained consciousness.

At that moment, even though I was on the ground, I desperately sought air as if I had drowned.

Well, then, keep your eyes open. You have inherited the power of my magic!

The next moment, Zenovis-san thrust his right hand into the void, and a tremendous amount of magic power began to gather in his right arm all at once!

Then, as he made a gesture of grasping something, the space distorted greatly, and a jet-black vortex appeared in the sky.

The vortex grew larger and larger and soon developed to such a scale that it enveloped the entire area of the [Worlds Disposal Ground] and covered the sky above.

In the midst of all this, Zenovis-san deepens his ferocious smile.

Hoh? Do you resist me? But dont think you can escape, okay?

Zenovis-san gripped his right hand, which was imbued with enormous magic power, and something was dragged out of the vortex!

Guoooooooooo! Ze-Zeenovisssss!

It was a huge dragon with scales the color of a sunset, the same size as Ouma-sans true form.

At the time when Yuuya was undergoing Zenovis training.

In the [Nittei Academy] student council room in a distant era in Japan, a student was staring regretfully at the television.

Kuh! How did they get a student like that?

The one who muttered this was Kamiyama Mirei, the student council president of Nittei Academy.

The Nittei Academy is an elite school for children of rich and famous families and has long been a rival of the Ousei Academy.

However, only Nittei Academy sees them as rivals, while Ousei Academy is unaware of anything in particular.

The reason for this is that while Ousei Academy is open to anyone regardless of family background, Nittei Academy requires a certain level of prestigious family background to even take the entrance exam.

However

Recently, more and more people from prestigious families are flowing to Ousei Academy If this continues, the prestige of our academy may be called into question!

In recent years, graduates from Ousei Academy had become active in various industries one after another, and before long, students from famous families were also enrolling in Ousei Academy instead of Nittei Academy.

However, it is not that the education at Nittei Academy is inferior.

In fact, due to a large amount of money it receives from alumni, the facilities at Nittei Academy are always well prepared with the most advanced equipment, providing the best possible environment for its students.

Therefore, to obtain the status of the best school in Japan no matter what it takes, Nittei Academy is gradually closing in on Ousei Academy because of its persistence

I never thought there was such a student

The one thing Kamiyama was looking at was the footage of the athletic festival that took place the other day at Ousei Academy.

There, Yuuyas figure can be seen clearing obstacles one after the other.

The Nittei Academy was also a prestigious school like Ousei Academy, whose athletic festival was broadcast on TV.

Naturally, Nittei Academys athletic festival was also a large-scale event, but because of Yuuyas appearance and performance, the athletic festival of Ousei Academy became the talk of the town, and there was an overwhelming difference in the viewer ratings.

Kamiyama, who had been staring at the TV in frustration, shifted her gaze to the material at hand.

Yuuya Tenjou originally attended another school but was invited by Kaori Houjou, the daughter of the director of Ousei Academy, to transfer

The material in Kamiyamas hand contained detailed information about Yuuya.

That is why Kamiyama was furrowing her brow and tilting her head.

This is really accurate information, right? No matter how I look at it, it doesnt match what is written here

She also found some information about Yuuyas past, which she could not match with the image of Yuuya that was currently active on TV.

I heard that he was treated unfairly not only throughout the school but also by his parents and siblings but looking at this video, he doesnt really look like that and I cant help but think that someone who was mistreated that much would have such a change. In addition, its hard to believe that someone who was abused that much could work with that model Miu

Kamiyama suspected that she had deliberately been given false information, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

Well, perhaps Im overthinking it. Even though he is a great student, there is no way you could control so much information about a single high school student

Kamiyama, who has stopped thinking about Yuuya for the time being, once again considers the future.

What we have to focus on is the school festival that follows. At this rate, we will surely lose the school festival as well

Although Nittei Academy was behind Ousei Academy in many areas, the only thing they excelled in was their school festival.

The reason is that both schools are the same in that they are large and spend a great deal of money. In the same way that Ousei Academy invites famous artists, Nittei Academy also invites artists, but in addition, using the schools origins, they have gained popularity for their prestigious events that are not generally available to the general public.

However, this advantage was about to be lost with the arrival of Yuuya.

The gap between the two schools is growing wider and wider but what should we do?

The students of Ousei Academy did not know that Kamiyama was secretly plotting a way out of the current situation.

At the very same time that Yuuya was sent back in time to switch places with Evil, Usagi, Iris, and Odis were working together to let the other Holy know that Evil had been defeated.

However.

!?

Suddenly, the three of them sensed an ominous presence that they had never felt before, and they turned their gazes in that direction.

And in that direction, Evil had just reappeared in this period.

T-the presence just now

(Yeah. Evil, right?)

W-wait! That disaster is indeed Evil, but the king of Evil was completely defeated by you guys, wasnt he! Why do I sense the presence of such a powerful Evil now!

Odis was right, and all three of them knew that the Evil had been destroyed, which was why they were traveling like this to report it to the other Holy.

However, if the current presence was really from Evil, the story would be different.

Moreover, Iris and Usagi, who had confronted Avis directly, sensed that the presence that was still being emitted was much more than that.

However

That direction I believe it is the one where Yuuya-kuns house is, right?

(Yes, thats right.)

I think we should go to see whats going on.

Iris and the others looked at each other and quickly changed direction and ran towards the [Great Devils Nest] where Yuuyas house was located.
