Chapter 162: Waging the Seat of Academyâs Strongest (During Magic Class)
And here comes magic class next~!
âItâs time for the duel!â
âSeriously, can you give it a rest? Your gonna die, you know? Do you wanna die?â Sword asked the shouting prince dejectedly.
âItâll be okay, Sword! âŠInstructor Sword! I can hold back if itâs magic!â
With magic, itâs possible for me to make minute adjustments!
âIn short, your sayinâ you wonât kill him, right? On the verge of death is not an option either, âkay? Rather, donât injure him at all!â
âI know, I know. âŠOuch! Yessir!â
I was bonked on the head when I gave a half-hearted reply.
Sword sighed deeply, ââŠWhatever, have it your way. I wonât give a damn even if you die.â
Instructor Sword has become apathetic!
ïŒ
âNow then, we got permission, so letâs get this started. Come at me as you will.â
âHahâŠhow assertive of you. Certainly, youâre superior when it comes to the sword. Iâll admit that. But, magic is my forte!â
After acting all cool, he started to chant something.
So long.
âSword, err, Instructor Sword, your chant is much shorter, isnât it? Why is there such a difference between you and him?â
âYou finally realized that part? I chant abbreviated spells. By the way, the only ones capable of that are people at the level of ăBloody Witchă.â
Hoh, I see, how fascinating. As I thought, Instructor Sword is an amazing guy after all!
âAh, it finally activated.â
The prince finished his chant at last, and the spell got invoked.
Any enemy can definitely escape this, canât they? Itâs pointless if itâs not at least as fast as Swordâs, you know?
What he shot at me was water. I disassembled its chemical elements. Done.
ââŠâŠEh?â The prince cried out, dumbstruck.
With his arms folded, Sword looked in my direction and asked, âHow did you do that?â
âWater is something that comes into existence by combining elements that are included in the atmosphere. Thatâs why I dissolved the binding and thus returned it to being part of the atmosphere.â
ââŠSomehow thatâs a logic I feel I can understand and then âgain not. As always with your theories.â
Certainly the canceling of atomic bonds is complicated, I guess? But, thatâs because all the Mr. Magic Element are so outstanding!
ïŒ
âWhatâs wrong? Keep going and come at me! If youâre done, itâll be my turn next!â
The prince looked incredibly frustrated when I challenged him to more.
ââŠThatâs unfair! You had Instructor Sword assist you, hadnât you!?â, or some such he said.
âThereâs no way Iâd get Instructor Sword involved in this, is there? Itâd just earn me another iron claw or fist, right? I just want to try enjoying myself! âŠAnyway, if you really think so, should I attack from my side? Since my and your magic are different, I doubt you understand why your water vanished just now, but maybe youâll be able to understand if I come at you?â
Sword, you donât need to look at me with a face full of worry.
âI know. Itâs not like the prince attacked me with the intent to kill, so I wonât kill him either. I possess at least that much kindness.â
âReally?â
Instructor Sword, thatâs terrible!
âOkay, then here goes nothing.â
The instant I said so, I activated blast magic. It caused loud banging sounds right next to the prince. Since itâd make noise from below and above as well, even if you tried to take cover, it was impossible to avoid.
âI think the injuries will be few with that. Well, he might have received a certain amount of burns, but heâll immediately heal up thanks to my healing magic. Since Iâve been using it simultaneously just now, he probably healed in an instant.â
Instructor Sword was speechless. Our surroundings as well.
âHe hasnât died, okay? If we leave him like that for the entire magic lesson, heâll probably understand my true strength. Once that happens, he wonât ever trouble you again, Instructor Sword. After all, heâll realize his own position!â
Iâm such a kiiiind woman!
I put on airs towards Instructor Sword.
ââŠâŠYeah, just as I thought, your an extreme sadist.â
Just when I thought that he might praise me, Sword responded with this, his voice sounding distant.
ïŒ
âStop it already! If you go any further, Iâll take you on!â
The other shiny guy planted himself between the prince and me.
âSure, but do you really believe that youâll be a match for me if the strongest is such a weakling?â
âWho cares! Just give it a rest!â
He tried to shield the prince from my eyes by spreading his arms.
âHmm? It sounds like youâre misunderstanding something. I havenât released any magic from my own palms. I can cause the effect to manifest where heâs lying right now, so itâs pointless for you to block my way. âŠBy the way, since I can see in ways other than the naked eyes, heâs still in my sight even if you shield him like that. Thatâs why I can clearly see how the prince started to bawl.â
The second shiny guy looked back in a fluster as I took a pose of clenching my hands and not showing my palms.
âJust for your information, I tried to stop âem, âkay? Heâs payinâ for his own mistake. You should have warned him to not do it as the princeâs attendant. Thus you also bear responsibility for this havinâ happened.â
Sword gave it the finishing blow.
ââŠPlease. Stop it already!â
The super-shiny, second guy prostrated himself on the ground in front of us.
While looking down at him, Sword told me, ââŠIndra, stop. If you donât, youâll eat a double fist bonk.â
âYessir!â
I stopped.
ïŒ
The attendant-like guy rushed over to the prince.
âAre you okay, prince!?â
ââŠâŠâ
He was staring blankly at the ground while heaving with sobs. They left while the attendant guy protected him.
Or rather, they skipped class.
Instructor Sword clapped his hands, and brought the lesson to a close by saying, âOkaaay, I think this showed you guys how much of a sadist Indra is. Donât ever pick a fight with this guy, âkay? It ainât like I came here to be called out for stuff like this each nâ every single time, got it?â
