Hi, I'm Yulia.

　To give you a quick synopsis so far, the academy has asked me to smear the cocky student for a bit.

　No, you're not wrong, right?

　Well, I don't know how I feel about it. When my abilities were awakened, I felt like I could do anything. Prior to that strategy, I was aware of the fact that if I had my own power, I could definitely pull it off.

　But that was a mistake. I've learned that no matter how strong you are, there are still many lives that will fall apart.

　After experiencing Ellie's death, and then Belle's, I learned that you can never be too proud of yourself.

　I've learned that we should never be arrogant.

　It is true that my existence is high on the scale of humanity, but from the perspective of this world. But from the point of view of this world, I'm just a part of this world's feverish movement, and I know that I'm worthless.

　But that's why I'm moving forward. To carry on the will of all the antimagicians so far.

　Will I be able to tell that to him and them who are in front of me like this? I wanted them to grasp the reality of the twilight and the way of strength, the way of being a person, even if it was just a glimpse of what I was, even if it was just a glimpse of what I was...I wanted them to grasp it.


'Miss Eve,'
'Yes ... yes ... yes ... yes ... 　I don't even need to ask.
Yes. I've got a quick idea of the total amount of magic element.
Quicksilver. Well let's do it.
Yes, sir.


　Standing on the training ground is me and Eve. And vs. the students of the Demon Academy.

　The way he and they looked at us was full of confidence.

　That's roughly not the kind of thing you would direct at a special class anti-magician. Within the military base, special class anti-magicians are seen as a symbol of respect and awe. This is probably because other military personnel have actually seen, experienced, and grasped the level of special class anti-magicians.

　That's why their attitudes are also auspicious.

　But these students think that their blades can reach them. Or perhaps, they may even be aware that they can win. Especially that student named Ayn, whose mettle is easy to see.

　It's a big world.

　Even us special class opponents are not always the top of this world.

　Let me remind you of that. I've been in that place before.



　The world is big.



Hey okay. For now, we all have to push together. The only thing in our favor is numbers, you know. The only thing left to do is for me and Karen to somehow defeat those two.
'After all this time ... can you really do it?　His opponents were ranked zero and six in the rankings of the special class anti-magician order. Julia Curtis no longer needs to be mentioned, but even Eve Ailey is a genius among geniuses. Can we handle it ourselves...


　While the students are making the math to fight each other, some students will say such things. It's not surprising that they would feel weak. He or she will certainly be strong in this academy. But that's just in the small world of the academy.

　His opponent is a special class antimagician. He is a veritable pinnacle of humanity fighting on the front lines of the twilight. In fact, it would be strange not to be vulnerable.


''Listen. If you're weak, you're going to lose. Don't let your feelings get in the way of your victory. You have to go in there with the spirit of revenge. I know that. This is an Extraordinary Opponent. The best of humanity. My father's friend in the military, who was a first-class counterpart, I thought he was strong as well. But, you know, a special-grade counter-magician is a different class. You know that already, don't you?　Isn't that why it's time to test our strength?
Yes. Ayn's right. You can't lose your nerve here. Now that we have two of the best special class anti-magicians in the world, we have no choice but to do it.


　Ayn and Karen. They were rebellious at first, but now they maintain a good balance and hold the class together. Both of them are naturally competent, but they are also born with charisma. I don't know if this is due to their aristocratic blood, but their words firmly reach the other students as well.


''Alright!　Let's do it!
"Oh, no!


　As soon as Ayn says that, they all raise their voices.

　The spirit is good. The spirit is never lost.

　But everyone will know. There is a realm in this world where feelings alone are not enough, and you will experience with your own eyes what it means to be the strongest of mankind.


"Yves-san!
Copy that.


　When Julia called out that, Eve quickly raised her hands and generated a ward. It neatly divided the apostles into two.


''Wards........?　f*ck it........Karen, I'll take care of that one!
Yes!


　Eve's wards divided the students into two. It divided them into those who were proximity-based and those who used magic. In other words, Yulia would deal with the proximity-based students alone, and Eve would deal with those who use magic alone.

　If we talk about the ratio, there are about 20 proximity-based students, and about 10 magic-based students. The magic types were about 10 or so, and although Yulia's burden was greater than his, that was not a burden to him right now.


''Let's go!
"Oh!


　Assault. The fact that they're divided is surprising, but there's no point in writhing around trying to figure out what to do about it. The students quickly switch and charge towards Yulia........


''........What?
"...wait!　What do you mean?!
He's not...?


　That's right. Not present. They had definitely caught Julia in their sights. But I'm not seeing that figure. While I was so dumbfounded, one by one, the lives fell down.


　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what's going on.


　-- Illusionary magic........I've heard that Julia Curtis is good at illusionary magic, as I recall.......but this level. Even I can barely perceive it.


　The ones that were perceiving Julia's illusion magic right now were able to stand still. On the other hand, the one that couldn't do that has already sunk to the ground. Of course, that's only lightly fainting, to the extent that there's nothing unusual about it.

　But then I realized. Yulia Curtis's ability is indeed that of a special grade anti-magician.

　I break out in a cold sweat. I'm just standing there leisurely. But.........I'm certainly terrified.

　I'm trembling. Until now, I had thought that the way he spoke, and the expression on his face, made me think that he was somehow a carefree person. There's nothing fierce about it, just a gentle human being. That's exactly what makes the word "harmless" appropriate. That's exactly what it is, so much so that you wouldn't even know it if you heard it was the Zeroth rank in the express anti-magician hierarchy.


　But it's not. Once the switch to battle was turned on, they would be able to spread their killing spirit to this extent.

　The thickness of that magic element alone is overwhelming. My heart trembles.

　And then the students realize. This is in a different dimension.....


　The students are defeated one by one while they are still in a daze, and finally, only Allen is left.


''What do we do?　Do you still want to do it?
Of course!
I like that. I like your eyes.


　Allen shuddered.


　This, this was the most powerful realm of humanity. He thought he had a certain amount of grasp on it. But that was misguided. And the fact that Yulia was younger than him, he had been completely caught off guard... but now it was just terrifying.


　How could a human possess this much magic element?


　Allen's aptitude for magic elements was so high that he could understand it better than the other students. The way he was clothed in layers of magic elements as if he was wearing a thick coat. To be honest, it would be impossible to break through that thing with any of the attacks that Allen has.


　But what would be the point of getting scared here?

　We've been given this opportunity. Now I have no choice but to proceed.

　When Allen roused himself, he held the broadsword he was holding low to the ground and ran across the earth.


''Ooohhhhhhhh!


　That yell is meant to suppress his trembling self.

　And so he activated his magic at the same time.

　He chose an ice-based magic called Icicle Piercing among them. It is a spine with ice that goes towards the target. Ein was planning to find a clue to the attack somehow while Yulia was preventing this from happening.......


''.........''


　No voice was heard. If the degree of astonishment had been a little less, his voice would have been heard. But perceiving a completely incomprehensible phenomenon in front of him, Allen was stunned.

　Right. Julia didn't physically defend against the magic that Ein had released.

　It disappeared. When Julia pays off her hand to the side, the icicle piercing is all but shattered. But that's not the main point. A moment later, in what would be an unimaginable second of time, Julia did not erase the phenomenon of magic from this world.

　The only thing she erased was the phenomenon of icicle piercing. In other words, the magic element remains there. The magic Yuria used, Diffusion 《Diffusion》, diffuses all kinds of objects. Until now, he had mainly used it to intervene in the Intrinsic Domain 《Personal Field》, but this time, he made it work on magic.


　The bright red, scorchingly bright twin eyes look through Ayn.


''........Good.''


　Julia had never been able to perform this kind of trick until now.

　That's because Diffusion had a drawback. That was only one point: it was difficult to specify the coordinates. If the target was a living creature, it was fine, but if it was magic, it would require even finer adjustments. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on it.


　However, Julia overcame this shortcoming by redefining the coordinates, which were originally used in two dimensions, in three dimensions. Instead of catching it visually and designating the coordinates, Julia completely overcame this shortcoming by grasping space in three dimensions with her Twilight Sight, magic element by magic element.


　This was an idea I got from Noah's permanent agency, but Yulia grinned that it was the right decision to use it as an experiment.


　Then, using the magic element diffused on the spot as a stepping stone, Yulia activated the Icicle Piercing in reverse this time. Ein had no choice but to focus on defense on the spur of the moment. Then, when she closed in further on the gap, she thrust the Invisible Sword 《Invisible Blade》 at him, using the index finger of her right hand as the starting point.


''...............................End, I guess.
"Oh no. I lose too. No, it's a total loss...


　Thus, the battle on Julia's side came to an end in the form of an overwhelming victory for Julia.
