The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World - Chapter 100

Side: Morishita Maria.

“So this is the Kindergarten?”

The intruder in the closed school, a man in black clothes, was confronted by me and the long distance attacking Maki-ane with her stick.

In the past, the ground had plants growing and rather than being a sandy soil it was a flowery meadow.

Besides, this spiritual force that I can feel with my skin— This man is not your typical person.

“It seems you’ve made a fuss to the Abeno main family. However, you’re not the first Magical Girls to make a debut like so. Despite the speculations about moving around sneakily while making trouble for the ordinary people.”

While laughing astonished the black-clothed man shrugged his shoulders.

“If you’re doing the usual thing and no Magical Girl escaped from the spell then there’s no other choice but to do the unusual.”

“To interfere with the System… No, certainly that’s so… I see. It seems you’ve come up with something unbelievable.”

“Besides, we haven’t killed even one normal citizen. That— We’ve kept our dignity.”

There are several monsters mixed in with humans too.

Looking from our perspective it’s a very desirable chakra however, it’s difficult to judge.

That’s why, the magical girls until now had received bad reputation as mass slaughterers.

But, we’re different. No, Maki-ane is different.

“Aah, I’ve received that information. However, you girls have been a bit too wild.”

The black-clothed man took out a short-sword from his back.

“I’m a free exorcist who received a request from the Amaterasu. This time I’m off the record to the Japanese Government. Well, it’s a secretive mission.”

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

“Well, it’s fine to also call me a fugitive ninja. For lower ninja’s there’s a restriction but they can get power from demons similarly like you with limit alteration spirit techniques and they can use ninjutsu too. This time’s opponent is bad for you.”

“We also don’t have spare time. If we’re going to do it— Then let’s kill each other, faster.”

One sided was covered in a flash of light, Maki-ane changed to a frilly form with blackish colour.

In her hands being held was the usual Magical Wand.

“Oh, you’re not even scared when the name ninja comes out. This is why naturals who don’t know are…”

The man laughed again in self-depreciation.

“Well, right now, the village itself has come to an unbelievable state, when you reach this level… Just the name ninja will make you bluff to some places…”

The man jumped on Maki-ane with his short-sword from the top.

You might say that he’s going at extreme speed.

At least, I tried to follow him with the best of my eyes.

However, Maki-ane immediately distanced herself with a back-step.

Maki-ane already reached the highest rank as an Magical Girl, her basic status is higher than mine.

However, there’s a difference in battle experience since childhood.

“Energy Ball!”

10 golden balls— Balls big as basketballs were fired to the man from Maki-ane’s wand.

“Haha! As expected!”

The man avoids the magical balls with ease.

And then, along with explosive sounds the fired balls made craters of several meters radius in the ground.

“If I took them head on, I would’ve been in danger. But, the true essence of a ninja is nimbleness!”

The man while making a refreshing expression and avoiding the balls he was closing in to Maki-ane.

He cut the distance difference between them by 5 meters.

“Haha! Do you know what happens when the distance is shortened to a long-distance specialized fighter?”

I’ve been holding my bow since earlier to support her— But, there wasn’t any need.

Because—-

“Wha!?”

Six energy balls were being formed behind the man.

“Two-stage preparation is the basics of an attack, right?”

This is one of the basic tactics Maki-ane uses.

If she destroys her enemy with the opening energy balls then it’s fine, but even if you close the distance the second time it will be a surprise attack.

“Shit!”

The man evaded 5 of the 6 energy balls.

But the last hit him.

Maki-ane’s power is strong because she’s specialized in long-range.

At the time I was thinking this is it—

“Ninjutsu… Cicada: Level 7!”

The man who should’ve been hit by the energy ball, before I knew it he was standing behind Maki-ane.

“If I couldn’t do this much then I would’ve been disqualified from the village! The effect is huge despite its simplicity— This the basics of basics in ninjutsu!”

“Magical Girl Second Burst!”

She shone even more.

Maki-ane turned in an instant and then grabbed the man’s right hand with her own.

And then, she pulled the man’s arm to lock his joints.

—This time for sure it is decided.

I was convinced of victory and nodded greatly.

“Arm-lock? You’re locking techniques at this level of fighting?”

Maki-ane drops her weight and puts as much force to destroy the man’s right hand.

“Haha, you’re really an amateur.”

“Amateur…?”

“The defensive value is on the surface, and then the bones and sinew are strengthened. There’s no way you can do something to my joints with raw strength and weight.”

It’s as he said, no matter how much strength she put, the man’s shoulder and elbow didn’t move even a bit.

“Defensive power is offensive power. An aura that offsets defense at the moment of impact by holding a fist or a weapon you’re able to destroy the concept of offensive power. Basically… my straightened bones and flesh, you can’t destroy without any attack aids.”

「……」

“Therefore, your locking techniques don’t work in this battle!”

In addition, Maki-ane said while twisting her opponent’s arm.

“Yeah, certainly the amateur is you!”

Maki-ane held lock and dropped the man on the ground.

“This is certain death! Magical Arm Lock!”

*Pokin* the mean screamed at the same time his right elbow and shoulder were destroyed.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Maki-ane immediately distanced herself from the spot and with the wand she held formed energy balls by the dozen.

“This is the end.”

The man rolled on the ground in pain without having the time to understand what happened.

“What happened!?”

“You guys probably haven’t researched joint locking techniques, right? In addition there are as many as one can learn. But, I’m different.”

And then, Maki-ane continued talking like she was spitting.

“I had no other choice but to polish my advantage to escape certain death. And then, what I invented was… was a gap in the magical use of long distance magic. This is, a technique that can be used only by us who are variously twisted.”

“A gap in magical use?”

“I can move the joints even at the point of attack where it offsets the defence. Even if you think about it— Originally, for us it’s not a very difficult technique to apply since our existence itself is blurry and interferes with space and time. And then, the joints that have their defence invalidated—- They’re no different than a normal person’s.”

At the same she said that the energy balls rushed at the black clothed man.

“Guaaaaaaaaaaa”

Magical Girl style locking techniques

To make them think you’re specialized in long range and let their ground, and it’s fine if the opponent drops from the barrage, but if they breakthrough temporarily—

You’ll make a supra-rational locking technique to the conceited enemy.

And when there’s overwhelming damage done by the joint destruction a gap will come up and finish it with a saturated attack with Magical Girl’s original power.

This is the certain victory pattern that me and Maki-ane use against people.
