CH 100

Everyone was stunned.

Owen vs. Julian in a match.

Most of the crowd expected Julian to win.

They thought that was the highlight of the game, to see how far Owen would bite against Julian.

In fact, Julian had the upper hand, and Owen fell in front of Julian a few minutes into the match.

So far, so good, as they all expected.

That’s how strong Julian was, and he was head and shoulders above the rest in this tournament.

Owen did well.

The crowd was impressed to see him get knocked down twice and still get back up, and they were going to praise Owen even if Julian won the match.

However, Julian’s entry into the final overturned their prediction of the incarnation of fire —Ifrit.

It’s a spirit that Owen summoned with spirit magic.

Spirit magic is a magic that creates things that have a will and move independently.

It’s called spirit magic because it looks as if a spirit has taken up residence in the magic.

Incidentally, even in this world, spirits are considered to be fictional beings.

Spirit magic is a magic that requires a high level of skill.

The audience was surprised that Owen used such spirit magic.

However, what surprised them even more was that the spirit that Owen had summoned was far stronger than they had expected.

Julian vs. Owen—no, Julian vs. Ifrit’s fight was now far beyond the level of students.

And who would believe that this was a battle between two middle schoolers?

Everywhere in the venue is broken and there are crater-like holes in places.

The crowd watched their battle with rapt attention.

“Gaaaahhh——!!!!”

Ifrit roared into the sky as if to vent its anger.

“You summoned that… …thing.”

Julian muttered bitterly.

Julian’s clothes were burnt here and there, and Julian himself had been burned by the flames he had received from Ifrit.

Fortunately, it was not a damage enough to be fatal.

Part of the reason he’s struggling is his incompatibility with Ifrit.

Yin magic is effective against human opponents, but not against the incarnation of fire.

Because Yin magic is something that works directly on a person’s magical power.

In addition, the restraint using the shadows is quickly broken by Ifrit’s monstrous strength.

Therefore, Julian had no choice but to fight Ifrit with lightning magic.

However, the amount of heat that Ifrit possesses is tremendous, and low-powered magic will be extinguished before it reaches Ifrit.

“…You’re a monster.”

Julian gave him an impatient look as he said this.

Those were not words he spat out at the Ifrit.

These were the words he muttered to Owen, who was about to collapse.

Julian had never seen a student who could summon such a powerful spirit.

He can’t hide his amazement at Owen’s talent.

“I wasn’t underestimating…”

Julian thought that if he defeated Owen, the main body, this battle would be over.

But…

“Aaahhh!——”

The onslaught of Ifrit gave him no time to attack against Owen.

Ifrit spat fire from his mouth.

In response, Julian created a black wall.

However, the black wall, which could not withstand the power of the flames, collapsed in tatters.

And Ifrit is coming at Julian at neck-breaking speed.

“The Black Lightning Raft.”

Julian unleashed a combined magic of yin and lightning.

Combined magic, which combines two different properties, successfully intertwined the properties of each other and became a high-powered magic.

“Aaah—!”

Ifrit spat out flames.

Black lightning hammered and scorching flames collided.

The impact scattered a blast of sound and wind that was incomparable to the previous exchanges.

Julian quickly gets into position to unleash his next spell.

“Black prison!”

A black sphere appeared in front of Julian.

The amount of magic power contained in it is about a quarter of Julian’s total magic power.

That’s exactly what Julian’s special move is.

“Swallow the spirits!”

He fired a pitch-black sphere at the approaching Ifrit.

When the sphere came right in front of Ifrit, it suddenly began to expand.

“…aahh!”

Ifrit also instinctively felt impatient and tried to distance himself from the black ball.

But before Ifrit could move, the black ball swallowed it(Ifrit).

It suddenly expanded and stopped expanding the moment it swallowed Ifrit.

Then the black ball rolled over and stopped right in front of Julian’s eyes.

With Ifrit gone, the hall was filled with a hush.

“I never thought I’d… …have to use this technique.”

Julian muttered as he looked at the smaller black ball.

It’s a simple spell that traps the subject inside a black sphere.

However, even if he trapped Ifrit with something physical, it would be quickly broken by Ifrit’s monstrous strength.

That’s why he locked him in a different space.

To make sure that no matter how violent Ifrit gets, it can’t get out of the black sphere.

That’s the thing, …unless there is a strong connection between the other space and their space, Ifrit will not come out on its own—.

And just as he thought that, Julian shouted, “Shit!”

Immediately after that—

Crack.

The black ball cracked.

Ifrit appeared from black ball.

Why …did I not even notice this?

It’s a spirit that Owen summoned.

Then he has a strong connection in this space, to Owen.

Even such a simple thing, Julian had been disappointed.

“Aaahhhh—!”

Ifrit emerged from the black sphere and waved his fist at Julian.
