Kage no Eiyuu no Nichijou-tan - 98 08 Stories
A simulated battle begins.
It was the two boys students who moved first.
“Fire Bullet”!!
A shorter man unleashes a flaming bullet.
Speed-oriented D-rank magic. It’s not like Dada has judged me fit for a war game. If you use this magic with your first hand, you can always take the lead unless your opponent uses the same speed of magic.
Sieg turned to the rear and dodged the flaming bullet.
Several bullets are fired and Zeke keeps dodging. In the meantime, a taller man activated a large-scale magic.
“Earthspear!”
The soil at your feet rises and turns into a large spear.
The spear was released in a straight line to Siege. Sieg aggressively activates Ligament and avoids this with enhanced leg strength.
“You can’t just avoid it and win!
A taller man barks as he keeps shooting flaming bullets.
One tows movement with velocity-oriented magic and the other pokes a gap with great magic. It’s a situation that can happen naturally, on a two-to-one basis. But…
“I don’t even need to be told”
Sieg was preparing his magic not to be enlightened by his opponents, avoiding flaming bullets and dirt spears. It exquisitely hides the magical signs. Not a dozen of the students who are watching mock warfare will have noticed.
“Fire Bullet”!!
Against the impending flaming bullet, Sieg stuck out his right arm.
Wind Cannon
Wind shelling scratches out flaming bullets and flies toward even shorter men.
“Guh!?
To the screaming man, the other man also opened his eyes and stiffened.
Shortly afterwards, Zeke goes out to fight back.
“-” Lightning Spear ”
Thunder spears appear over Zeke’s head.
It is a C-rank magic of the same lineage as Earthspear used by taller men. But its magnitude – it is not comparable to earthly spears.
Multiple starts.
One of the techniques of running magic. By activating multiple overlays of the same magic, its magic performance can be greatly improved.
Previously, when Zeke was dueling with me, he used the function of the military magic tool Eldecaiser to make it happen. But now – I’m accomplishing that with my own technology.
– On your own, can you start multiple?
It’s a technology that you can’t acquire with a half-baked effort.
He also understood that the spectators around him, and Mira from the student council looked out for him.
A giant spear wraps up the two boys and blows them away.
On the verge of a direct hit, Zeke dropped a thunder spear to the ground. As a result, the two students did not suffer major injuries, but the ground is severely decided and shock waves are emitted in all directions.
“That’s it!
Mira says a little late after the win or loss is decided.
Sieg is intact. Meanwhile, its opponents, the two boys, were battling with buttcakes on the ground.
“Su, that’s amazing”
“Oh…. when did you get so strong”
Mize next door impresses me, and I agree.
Sieg’s war game appearance was decided. The man let everyone show convincing results in front of a large group of students. Not a single one complains. Sieg’s participation in the war game would surely have brought the Eagles closer to victory.
“That concludes the three-day review session. Start practicing for your competition tomorrow.”
It looks like after-school practice will continue after tomorrow. But it’s not about compulsory participation, it’s basically voluntary practice. Students should be encouraged to practice whenever they want.
“Um, which competition is the other student council going to be in? I haven’t had a face in the last three days.”
A general student who was near Mira asked.
“… I’m sorry. If I were to leave (…), I think it would be a war game”
Keep your head down, Mira says.
The surrounding students whispered rumors about how it was going.
“… hey, see the other student, Senior Barren, right?
“Oh…. you’re scared. I don’t want you to keep showing me your face if you can.”
“Where you come from, you’re just gonna have another problem”
“Forget it. If he asks you, he’ll kill you.”
To the rumors we hear, me and Mize tilted their necks.
◆
“You’re Barren-Steelen. He’s a famous student in this school.”
Lunch break the next day.
I heard there was another student council in the Eagles, and when I talked about it, Elisia explained to me about the person.
“I started going to Builders School when I was a year in middle school, but since then my name has been there. He must have been in the War of the Brave Demons.”
“To the war, is it?
Elicia snorts at Mize, who asks back.
“We’re a school that raised brave men, so they made us athe a few times when we were understaffed. … although there were a few students who participated in the war, especially the current student chairman and Senior Barren.”
Listen to me, I’ll ask Elysia.
“Are you good?
“It’s subtle when you ask me if I’m good. Although it doesn’t make any difference to be a strong person, Senior Barren was also famous as a student with bad behavior. I’ve had problems many times before I joined the war, and even more so since the end of the war.”
Did something happen during the war?
As I speculated casually that way, Gran, sitting face to face, spoke the question.
“The question is, what exactly did you do?
“Fighting”
Briefly, Elisia answers.
“Anyway, he’s a fast hand. If you get in a bad mood, I’ll half-kill you no matter what kind of person you’re dealing with…. I couldn’t handle it because it was really strong. Ever since I was in the middle of nowhere, I’ve fought with high school students and won unharmed.”
“… so strong”
“For years now, the school’s strongest rumor has been that it’s either the current student chairman or Senior Barren. We’ve both been strong out of groups for a long time.”
Elysia nods with a strange face.
“Well, I’ve been wondering lately if the school’s strongest is someone else.”
“… I agree”
From Elisia and Mize, a tight gaze is poured.
I ignored their gaze and asked questions.
“I’ve been saying seniors for a while now, aren’t you a classmate with us?
It was originally the subject of another student council in the Eagles.
Like Mira, I thought the man named Valen might be a classmate, but then it would be odd for Elisia to call him senior.
“I’m staying a year. Because last year, I made a mess of noble men…. I think they just put a collar on me when I joined the student council.”
Is the student council that I admire for other students also a punishment for Ballen?
Elysia’s explanation is consistent with the current state of the eagle group. The Eagles have been considering players to compete in each competition over the past three days, but Barren never showed his face. Apparently, there were no profound circumstances, just poor behavior.
“More than that… have you decided to compete yet?
Elisia asks.
The tone was insignificant, but its eyes were sharply narrowed.
“I won’t tell you that, I promise.”
“You can tell me if it’s decided.”
“… the other day, it was decided”
“That’s right,” Elysia hammered.
“What about the lions?”
“This one’s going to take a little longer. But I’m starting full practice with students who decide to compete.”
They have different ways of progressing on eagle and lion sets, respectively. Instead of know-how being shared, there would be something like a way for the student council board to be good at each of them. Mira is as serious as she looks and handy.
“You have to do a lot of magic practice, too!
“Heh… Mize is a competition that uses a lot of magic. When it comes to parades or arrowrains… if Mize’s character, though around Exodus is suspicious”
“Nah, what is it…?
I sighed a small sigh at Mize, who was easily disturbed.
Mize’s competition came to light early.
“… magic”
We also have to practice a lot of magic. I shrugged as I rebelled Mize’s words in my brain like that.
“Take a few seats off”
I said no to Elisia and I left the courtyard behind.
It’s been a while since the competition festival practice began. My desire to “start something new” is still there.
To my mind, I’ve been living a difficult student life. In order to hide the past, which was a soldier of the institution, we have avoided to be as conspicuous as possible and have done so only with minimal force when fighting in public.
But I can’t stay the way I am for long.
I just spent some time freaking out and frightened so that my past background wouldn’t be exposed, and that can’t be said to be everyday.
I learned something from my escape last month.
Freedom to endure is not freedom. To get freedom in the true sense, you have to sweat and strive.
Again, if I were to try something right now – this would be the only way.
I made up my mind and took the ‘communication paper’ out of my pocket. Pushing the center with your finger through the magic and initiating communication.
“Tuate?”
The opponent left immediately.
“Chris. Now, okay? I need to talk to you.”
“Yeah. What’s wrong?
I answered that question from my ear.
“I want to master new magic”
