We left the class haunted house and returned to our own class.

"Kurt!　I heard about it. I heard that something terrible is going on behind the scenes at the festival. ......!

　Then Marise, who had been preparing for the noon play, came running up to me.

"Oh. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not running away because I'm afraid of demons.　It's not just that I'm afraid of ghosts ......, but that I needed to tell Marise about it as soon as possible.

　Lara quickly denied it.
　She waved her hands in front of her face.
　She didn't want to admit that she was afraid of ghosts.

"Well, even demons aren't my enemy. However, it will take a long time for me to clean it up by myself, and I need help from everyone. Let's split up and get rid of the demons.

　When I said that, Lara, Marise and Cynthia nodded vigorously.
　They're my friends.

　It would be nice if we could get rid of all the demonic thoughts with a single blow, but it's difficult at this point because we still don't know the source.
　However, if you continue to get rid of the demons, you'll be able to gather clues that will help you deduce what's going on.

Now, ......, what should we do first?

　When you are using detection magic and looking for the next demonic outbreak.

"Oh my god!

　And three students came towards us in pieces.

"What's wrong?

　I asked, and they put their hands on their knees.

"Mr. Desmond is ......!　He's on the playground like he's possessed!
"I heard that dishes are flying through the air in the home economics room and attacking people nearby. Oh, ...... I have to make sweets for the stall, but ...... I can't even get into the home economics room like that.
I'm not sure why, but I've heard that some wild dogs have gone berserk near the school. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　He said this while catching his breath.

　Hmm.
　It seems that there are three incidents of magical thinking happening at the same time.

Okay, it looks like we've got a case. Let's split up into three parties. I'll take care of Desmond first. Lara and Marise in the home economics room. You'll join Cynthia and Averill for the wild dogs.

　I said to the three of them.

"What?　I don't know if I can do that.　I mean, there are guys like the axe-wielding guy who fought in that magic sword tournament, right?
"It's true. It seems to be quite difficult to defeat even if you and Lara are the only ones who can. ......
Cynthia is also ...... okay ...... if you leave it to Avril?

　They all looked worried.

"Don't worry about it.

　I continued in a slow tone to reassure them.

I'm sure that the party I just mentioned will be able to take care of the demons without difficulty. Either way, I'll use the consciousness-sharing spell. If anything should happen, I'll use my transference spell to get there right away.

　To be honest, I could have taken care of the demons in three places by myself.
　However, doing so will consume extra magic power and will not lead to the growth of the three of you.
　Then, it would be more efficient to have the three of you help me like this.
　It would also save me a lot of work.

　As soon as I said that, their eyes instantly lit up.

"Yeah, ......!　If Kurt says so, I'll do my best.
Lara, let's go. Lara, let's go. If we don't clean up quickly, we'll be late for the play.
Cynthia also ...... will try to help Avril .......

　The three of them went to their respective places, saying so.

All right, I'll go with you.

　This is the second fight with Desmond today.

　I went to the schoolyard.

　I went to the schoolyard.

"Mr. Desmond, please calm down!
Come to your senses!

　A number of students ...... and teachers surrounded Desmond, who was rampaging with a sword, and tried to subdue him.

　But .

"Ohhhh!

　Desmond is waving his sword around with an inaudible yell.
　With each swing of his sword, he created a shockwave that blew away the people around him.

　Well, it looks like he's also using body-enhancing magic.
　It's no wonder ordinary students are no match for her.

Everyone, get away from me.



　As soon as I said that, people started to disappear from Desmond's sight like a wave receding.

"Hey, it's Desmond.

　When I called out to him, Desmond's face slowly turned toward me.

"Kurt. ......
Yeah. Did you forget my face?
No. ...... But I'm not who I used to be. I don't know why I'm doing this. ......

　Desmond moves his mouth in agony.
　I'm not sure why I'm doing this.

Is there anything out of the ordinary?
There's a voice in my head that keeps saying, "......, kill me, kill me. When I hear that voice, it seems to give me strength. ...... It's a terrible grudge. It's like it's been maturing for years ...... or even hundreds of years .......

　As Desmond said this, he raised his sword.

"Aaaaah!

　He attacked me.

Not bad for a guy.

　But ...... is no match for me.

　I ducked and pulled out my sword just in time.

The demon possessed Desmond and brought out his full potential.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

　Desmond shouted and swung his sword.
　The flash was like the speed of light. It would be difficult for the people around me to see what Desmond was doing.

　I fought it off easily with the magic sword in my hand.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　I'm sure you're not the only one.

　You can find a lot more information on this topic in the following article.
　It's more natural to think that the demon is borrowing Desmond's body and releasing the words.

　But then again...

"Fast?

　Don't you think he's getting carried away by the fact that he's just surpassed the speed of light?
　Exceeding the speed of light: .......

"Cine!

　Desmond is attacking me with a single swing of his hundred flashes.

　But...

"Aah!

　Blood splattered from Desmond's chest.

"Do you think ...... I swung my sword faster than you did? ...... You didn't even swing your sword, but you did.
"Fast?　I was about to pee my pants.

　The last time Desmond swung his sword, he could only do so at the speed of light.
　By borrowing Desmond's body, the demon spirit was able to draw out his magical power and exceed the speed of light.
　However, exceeding the speed of ...... light was only the minimum requirement to be able to fight me.

　Slowly, Desmond's body fell to the ground.
　The demonic thoughts that were cut by the magic sword disappeared from Desmond's body.

　I watched it happen and used a healing spell on him. Desmond's body is healing.

Desmond's body healed. "If you don't learn to slay at least, you'll never be able to defeat me.

　I interfered with time and dimension, skipped the fact that I slashed, and merely slashed Desmond who was possessed by a demonic thought.
No matter how fast I swung, there was no way that Desmond's sword, which was bound by the logic of common sense, would be able to reach me in time in front of my sword technique, which only had the result of slashing.

"Don't worry, guys. Don't worry guys, Desmond will come back to his senses after he wakes up.

　"Don't worry everyone, Desmond will come to his senses after he wakes up." I told everyone around me who was watching the battle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!　Kurt is still awesome!
"You don't have to cut to be able to cut. ......?　I have no idea what you're talking about. ......
Don't think too much. What Kurt is doing is beyond the understanding of ordinary people like us.

　The schoolyard erupted in cheers.
