Liuxin moved to the front of the target while rolling up the sleeve of his right arm's clothes.

''Dragonization!''

　With Liuxin's cry, the black dragon scales on his right hand covered his arm.

　In a few seconds, it became a complete dragon arm.
　He raised his arm on the spot──.

Dragoncrow!

　A slash shot flew from his claw, which he swung at an angle.

　It sliced through the target very easily, and also made a large gash in the wall behind the target.


Not only did it slice through the target, it also scratched the wall of this training center, which is ten times stronger than the target. As expected of a dragonoid.

That's about it.

　Ryushin was a bit satisfied with himself after he had unleashed the dragonization. In contrast, Rifa seemed frustrated that the target she couldn't penetrate was easily torn apart.

''Sensei, that target...''
'Yes, I'm using the same materials as you imagined, Luca,'

Then I'd like to go next time.
Yes, please.

　Luca walks up to the side of the target.
　Will he use proximity attack magic?

　As I was thinking about this, Luca's body began to glow.

''Dragonization!''

　Unlike the time of Liushin, the white scales on Luca's entire body gradually increased in size.

　At the same time, the total amount of magic power Luca was wearing exploded.

''Resurrection!''

　─ ─ ─?

　The target that had been shot by Rifa with an arrow, torn to shreds by Mai and May, and torn apart by Ryushin as if it were a toddler, returned to its original shape while munching and bubbling.

　In about thirty seconds, the target was in the state it was in before Rifa attacked it.

''Is this the dragon(⋅)miko(⋅)woman(⋅)recovery magic of the dragon(⋅)miko?''

...Doctor, you knew about it after all, didn't you?

'Dr. Tina, how did the target come back to life?　Isn't Resurrection the magic of resurrecting the dead?

　Rifa asks Tina a question.

'Indeed, Resurrection is a magic that holds the lives of those who have died together. Not many people can use this magic itself, but Luca-san is even more special, as long as it's an object that has magic power passing through it, it can be restored to the state it was in before it was broken.

　Normally, resurrection is effective within an hour after the target to be resurrected dies.

　However, in this world, both human and demon corpses have magic power left over from before they died for about a day, so a dead person who would normally have to be revived in time within an hour could be resurrected if they were brought to Luca within a day of their death.

　Furthermore──.

''The target is made from the skin of a Mahonome, a demon with extremely high magic resistance. By processing this skin and keeping a certain amount of magic power flowing, it is possible to give the target a magic resistance on par with that of a mahonome.

　In other words, the target is not alive, but because it was an object through which magic power was passing, it was able to be restored to its original state.

　It is said that as long as the magic power dwells in it, it can also heal broken magic tools and the like.

　Isn't this already a cheat-grade ability?

He's got a target on his back, so let's move on.
We'll get the next one!

　Merdi from the Beast Race raised her hand.

''Can I do this with Merdi-san as support?''

　Luna also raised her hand.

　Luna told me during yesterday's meal that she could use magic to improve the status of her allies.

　She said that she can use most auxiliary magic, but instead, her individual combat ability is not very high.

''That's right. Of the rest of you, the two of you would be the best combination. Merdi-san is good too, right?''

We'll be fine. It's good to see you, Luna.
Yes, I'll do my best to support you!

　Luna and Meldy stand in front of the target, which has returned to its original form.

'Then we'll go.'

　Luna breathes in while kneading her magic.
　And then...

'Magic up!　Overmagic!　McSMAGIC!　Physical up!　Power up!　Speed up!　Consent Layup!

'What? What? Oh!

　Auras of various colors covered Merdi's body.

　Merdi was puzzled at first, but he soon realized that his own status had been enhanced.

''This is so hot!

　Meldy turned half-heartedly against the target and held his fist in front of his body, increasing his concentration and magic power.


''Flying Fist!''

　Almost as soon as Merdi shouted, the target disappeared.

　The target was blown off the pedestal that was supposed to be firmly fixed and smashed into the wall behind him, shattering.

　Meldy was frozen in a fist-pumping pose.

'Oh, oh my god that was too much.'
It's amazing.

　Both Meldi, who let loose with magic power in her fist, and Luna, who enhanced Meldi's status, were surprised, not expecting it to be this powerful.

''Seriously, I lost........''

　Liuxin, who only managed to cut the target in half, looked at the shattered target and looked frustrated.

''It looks like the two of you are perfect for each other after all!　Thank you for your help.

　Tina seemed satisfied.

　Then, as Tina clapped her hands, the shattered target disappeared and a new one appeared again from under the floor.

'Later, you'll have to go to the (sic). Which one do you want to go?

　He moved on to the next without saying anything.
　Something about Tina's words made me feel uncomfortable, but...

　Probably just my imagination.

　The rest is me and Luke.
　I don't want to be Tori...

I'll go!

　Luke beat me to it.

'Halt was taught by Tina-sensei, wasn't he, like, magic or something?　He's definitely strong. Not Tori!　So I'm going to go ahead and do it, okay?

No, no, I don't want...

　I wanted to say that I'm a level 1 - but you wouldn't believe me.


''Then, Luke-kun is next. Please.
Yes!

　Prompted by Tina, Luke stands in front of the newly prepared target.

''Then, let's go...''

　Magic power gathered around Luke.
　Luke began to chant.

'Desired is destruction, the seed is the thunder, the sacrifice is my power, the one who was given to me by his pact to be my servant, your power is now unleashed.

　Oh, no!　This magic!

　When I looked at Tina, she seemed to have noticed it too, and was strengthening the defensive magic strung around us.

''Ultima Thunder!''

　A pillar of lightning several meters wide falls from the sky and...

　The target was destroyed.

　A storm blew inside the training camp.

　Thanks to Tina's enhanced defensive magic, there was no damage to us.

　The dust that rose up cleared and we were able to see where the target had been.

　The target, as well as the pedestal and part of the floor that held it in place, had been erased.

'Tina-sensei.......Luke's current magic is the ultimate magic, right?

'Yes. His name is Luke-Vell-Iphrus. He is the grandson of the wise man, Luano-Vell-Ifulus, the head of this Ifrus Academy of Magic, and he is one of the few wizards who can use ultimate magic as well as President Luano.

　I've been told that the man I've identified as my best friend can use ultimate magic and is the grandson of the head of the magical academy, which makes him an extraordinary wizard.

　You are going to use magic after this?

　It was extremely distressing.
　After all, I can only use the lowest-grade magic.

　I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get the penetrating power of Refa, or the destructive power and flair of Ryushin or Luke.

　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

　I was desperately thinking of ways to deceive them, and that's when I saw it.

The last one is Harut-kun. Um, please don't go all out, Harut-kun. I only need about thirty percent of your strength.

What?

　Tina started to say something I didn't understand.
