Now dismissed. Each of you will hold fast to your assigned cities. 

　Silas said, and the day was dismissed. After that, there was nothing special, and the meeting just progressed unhurriedly. The red crystal was brought up on the agenda, but as it stands now, it was agreed that we need to be careful. And I left the conference room without even a bother to greet the rest of the special class antimagicians. 

I'm not going to be able to say a word. Let's meet again sometime. Although, the special class versus demons travel a lot between cities, so we'll see each other soon. 

'Yes, sir. I'd like to thank senior Eira for all the help she's given me. 

　He smiles at me with a smile. I'm really grateful that you've been so kind to me, a newbie. 

　Well, I'm going to say goodbye now. I'm really going to miss you, but........we'll meet again someday. Until then, I will do my part. 

Eira, I've been waiting for you. 

Mother?　Why are you here? 

　Eira senior apparently had a family member waiting for her. Family, huh? It's a word I've never been associated with. When I can remember, it was natural for me to be alone. And I was alone for two years in the twilight. This is how I came back, and although I've made new connections, I still hadn't wiped out the perception that I was alone. 

　'I don't want to interrupt you...let's get going. 

''Huh?　You're Julia, aren't you? 

'Oh, yes I do, but...' 

　That's what I thought, but he calls out to me. It's not a good idea to be evil here, so I'll just say hello. 

'I'm Eira's mother, my name is Lila. Henceforth, please get acquainted. 

'This is very polite of you. I'm Julia. 

Hmm..... 

What's going on? 

'No, I haven't seen my daughter talking so happily in a long time. 

What?　You've been watching! 

Yes, that's it. Julia, my daughter still has a lot of problems, but please be good to her, she has a good heart. She has a good heart. 

Of course!　Besides, senior Eira has been a great help to me! 

'Oh my goodness, well you've really met the right person, Eira. 

'Hm ... it's fine. It's my friendship, so let it go........ 

　The fact that my face was slightly reddening was probably........it wasn't my imagination. I watched the exchange with a smile, thinking that seniors get embarrassed too. 

　Then we parted ways. 

　◇ 

　It's been put on.........................I sensed it the moment I left the royal castle. A look of clear hostility. But then, this is no different than a living animal instinctively. In the twilight, there was a technique of hiding hostility and killing intent to the very edge, only to bare it when it was time to kill. That was something even the less dangerous demons did. 

　It must be very emotional to be spreading hostility like this...and I lured him into the alleyway. It won't be that big of a mess here......I'm already prepared. 

"........Julia. 

...Dan. And Rebecca and Aria. 

　All three of them are staring at me. Of all of them, Dan's eyes are the sharpest. It's not surprising that he'll be trying to kill me in the next moment. Of course, I can't just let them kill me, either. In the worst case, I'm willing to use force. The time of separation has come. I've become a specialist anti-magician and there's no need to be afraid anymore. You will have to behave accordingly. 

"You're the thirteenth person to become a special class anti-magician?　What a joke, dude. 

''It's not a joke. I even attended a meeting of the Special Class Anti-Magicians earlier and officially became the thirteenth person to do so. 

''Well it doesn't matter. Teme, what did you use? 

Do you want it? 

Don't play dumb!　You must be on some kind of medication! 

'Yes!　Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible! 

''There's no way Julia is a special class antimagician!　There's no way you're ahead of us! 

　The constant abuse. Oh I'm sure they can't admit it. They can't or don't want to admit that the people they've mistreated in the past, the people they knew would die and abandoned, have returned only to find they've become a special-grade antimagician.... 

　But the reality is different. I was banished to the twilight world by them, but I survived. And then I gained power and became a special grade anti-magician. This is the only other thing that is true. 

　Dan, Rebecca, and Aria were talented, and they were indeed excellent. Hence, they can't be recognized. So it was easy to see what they would do next. 

'Yuliaaaaah! 

　Dan pulls out his broadsword and also comes up with some physical enhancements and calls out to me. Rebecca and Aria are in support, setting up a wall of ice around me, and also wards to prevent me from escaping. 

　The hostility I feel from the three of them. To the point of falling, I've fallen.............................Then I won't hesitate anymore. I've been holding back until now. I thought they would understand one day, too. But people don't change that easily. I've gotten stronger, but not much has changed in my character. And I'm sure Dan and his friends will never change. They look down on others and take pleasure in it. 

　Their lowly thoughts and actions are directed at me. There is no more hesitation. That's right, that's enough. I've been patient too. Maybe one day we will be able to understand each other. But we're stuck together forever. We can't do this anymore. 

　After our past, I thought about it a lot. But then again, that's just the way they are. There's no way to change their nature of being lowlifes. I've reached the end of my patience. I've always wanted to be a kind person. That's partly due to my parents' influence, but I've learned that there are good people in this world. There are good people in this world, and there are bad people. And in the twilight world, I learned about the weak and the strong. 

　I don't want to get involved anymore, I want to forget about them. That's why I've been running away ever since I came back here. I've been running, running, running. I've grown strong, but my heart has remained weak. 

　But I'm done with my indecision. I can't be kind to everything. This ugly part of me is also part of being human. 

　I missed it before, but not this time. Now ... they're too late. 

　And then ... the anger from that time is welling up in me. A black emotion surrounds me. Yes, they deserve what they deserve. No more hesitation, no more confusion. 

　Pulling a knife from my pocket, I activate the Invisible Blade, the Invisible Blade. I catch Dan's sword head-on. 

''Goooooooooooh!　Yuliaaaaah! 

　There is hostility in all three of them. But Dan's hostility is special. Jealousy, envy, hatred, and a mix of emotions. All he wants to accomplish is to bring me to my knees. More than anything else, it's what they've been saying. Human society is also weak and strong. But looking at the current situation, I'm a special class anti-magician and he's a first class anti-magician. At a glance, their abilities seem to be close. But a special class counter-magician is the hope of humanity. It is also a symbol of humanity. It was obvious that they were different in rank. 

　And even though he was stronger, Dan's skills were clearly inferior to Shelley's. He had said that hard work was something talentless trash did. The same goes for Rebecca and Aria. They were blessed with talent. That's why they were much stronger. 

　But ability is ... talent, hard work, and environment. It's something that can only be established when those three are properly intertwined. It's true that Dan and the others were full of talent, but talent alone has its limits. That's where we are now. This is what happens to people who continue to look down on others and are drowning in talent. 

'....Dan, Rebecca, Aria, let's get this over with. 

　I swung the Invisible Blade with all my might and flicked off Dan's broadsword. Furthermore, the Invisible Blade extended from my fingertips also blocked Rebecca and Aria's body movements. 

　To put it bluntly, they are too weak. I can handle this degree no matter how much they bunch up. 

　And I kick Dan's pigeon tail as hard as I can and make him fall on his ass in front of me. 

　Oh...?　Eh...? 

　I guess he hasn't noticed. I thrust the Invisible Blade into Dan's left leg. However, I didn't do enough to penetrate it. It's not enough to cause any aftereffects. It was just a light stab. 

''Waaaaaah!!!! 

Dang! 

'You're all right!　Julia, this is a crime! 

　It's clearly self-defense, since the three of us came to you and attacked you. Well, I'm going to do it without being overly defensive but I need to adjust accordingly. 

"Yulia, you........you did it!　My leg!　Legs oooh! 

　I'm sure he's upset because he's never been hurt properly before. I just looked at the scene with cold eyes. 

　Clumsy. That's all I can say. 

　In the end, this is what happens to people who have grown up, become conceited, and looked down on others. And I'm going to thrust the Invisible Blade into Dan's leg once more, but Dan's fright becomes uncommon. And the magic from Rebecca and Aria isn't flying either. What's going on........? 

''Oh ... ah ... ah ... eh ... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 

'No, no! 

　Dan's unvoiced voice. And Aria's scream. I turned around to see that it was not just a matter of time. And there it is......... 

".... 

　There was the figure of Rebecca being preyed upon by the demon. The giant spider from that time, the Huge Spider 《Huge Spider》. It had bound Rebecca with strings and was preying on her as it was. There was no longer an archetype there. Rebecca simply died. The bright red blood dripping on the ground........that speaks eloquently of it....... 

　This is what the uncomfortable feeling at that time was like..........but....... 

　 

　Thus.........the worst hell in history begins.
