CH 123

(T/N: Hi Everyone. I just want to say that Chapter 122 is missing in the raws that’s why Chapter 123 is already here. I’m just following the raws Chapter number arrangement according to the author’s uploads. Thank you for reading this. I hope that this it helps you understand why it’s missing.)

So it was our first year’s turn in the magic combat competition.

This time, our luck was not as good as it should have been and we were not seeded. But that didn’t stop us from doing what we had to do, and Nora, who was first, stepped forward.

Class A vs Class B

Class C vs Class E

Class D got the seeding, and after C and E finished their battle, they had to fight either A or B. The battle was about to take place in two separate fields.

“I feel like I’m missing the point, but it’s just my imagination! The seeding this time is D-class!　You’ll be fighting either A or B, whichever of them wins!”

“There are three rounds in A and B class no matter who wins, so it’s important to conserve your magic power. Oh, the first one is coming out.”

“Nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you!”

The first to go in A-class is Nora, who managed to wake up, and the girl in B-Class also came out.

“The first girl in A-class is Nora-chan, and the first girl in B-Class is Milly-chan. I hope the girls will do well together.”

“I’ve heard that both of them have calm personalities. I don’t know if we can expect a fierce battle as we’ve had just now, but I think it’s okay because they’re cute.”

Thanks to Verna-sensei, we know the names of the B-class students. And Basleigh-sensei was right, I had the impression that she was a little quiet girl with brown braids.

“Begin!”

When Tigre-sensei gave the signal.

“!”

“Wha-, It’s so big! , then !”

“Uwaah!? !”

“! Another !”

A momentary battle. But the battle was going to be a hell of a lot of magic shooting, contrary to what Basleigh-sensei expected.

This girl Milly seems to be an earth wizard, and I have to admit, I was surprised that she was able to instantly guard against Nora’s big move, Flame. However, Nora also used her signature “Finger Magic” to fire a series of shots at Milly, who was far away from her.

Milly dislikes it, so she fires a stone shot at her feet, distracting Nora, and then turns to defend herself with an earth wall. 

“Whoaaa, that girl managed to block Nora’s magic. That fire sequence is hard to avoid because it shifts the launch ……”

“That’s why she used an Earth Wall, isn’t it? She was good with the stone shot, after all, that girl is strong.”

I also agree with Makina’s opinion. I think she is quite strong under the restriction of magic only. On the other hand, she wasn’t fast enough to keep her distance, so I guess she’s not good at close combat.

“You surprised me! You’re so strong, Milly-chan!”

“Y-Yeah …… it’s amazing that Nora-chan can do this without magic-related skills …… I-I won’t lose!”

“Me too-!”

“…… What a calm girl. It was a fierce shootout with unexpectedly high firepower!”

“I’ve been teaching Nora-chan since she was a little girl♪. Even if you don’t have any magic skills, if you train properly, magic won’t lie. Milly-chan doesn’t have any magic skills either, after all.”

“Milly-chan too!? Now, if that’s the case, it’s going to be a battle we can’t take our eyes off of!”

“!”

“!”

A fierce exchange of fire and earth magic explodes in the field. Nora can use Fire and Flame as attacks, and other non-attacking magic such as Water and Wind.

“Is this for real?”

“Milly-chan’s the best wizard in our class, she won’t lose!”

Jack narrowed his eyes and muttered, and the B-Class kid shouted with confidence. But I had noted that Milly had stopped in her tracks. On the contrary, Nora was still full of energy, running around the field.

“Nora! Just like my brother!”

“Huh? Ah, yes, okay!”

As I say this, Nora gradually closes the gap between them while avoiding the Earthblades that are continuously rising from her feet.

“Ah, wha-, my target won’t settle down ……!?”

“Fire! One more !”

“Oh, then come this way ……!”

When Nora unleashes her magic, Milly flees to an open space. But it’s a trap.

“Oh, Milly’s gone to the corner by herself!”

“Nora-chan was guiding her, huh. I wonder what Nora-chan will do now that she’s cornered her!”

The moment Verna-sensei said that, Nora smiled at Milly.

“You were really strong! Teach me magic next time! !”

“Hyaaaaa!?”

The wind magic, Wind, caused Milly to lose her balance and step backwards, pushing her out of the white line. Tigre-sensei gave the signal and the game was over.

“Are you okay?”

“Y-Yeah, I’m fine …… Let’s study magic together next time!”

“Yeah!”

“The two heartwarming girls became friends. What a good story ……”

“Milly-chan’s magic was amazing too, so I have high hopes for the future.”

The audience and tents applauded, and Nora and Milly responded by raising their hands, and then returned. We welcomed her with a high five.

“I won!”

“I did think we’d win, but you’re amazing fighting against that girl, Nora-chan.”

“Yeah, she probably would have beaten me or Jack.”

“Ehehe~”

After Nora, who was pleased with the praise, the second player came out of the tent. This one is …… Yogus.

“I’m off then. I have to show Verna-sensei.”

“Yeah, good luck. Yogus can do it when you remain calm.”

I smiled and nodded, and he stepped into the field.

Now, can Yogus fight without worrying about what happened in the morning? That’s the key.

Shortened due to health issues …… Sorry about that ……

(T/N: I like it, though.)

Thank you for reading!

“Wind Magic, huh.”

Stop it ……
