The battle against a demon called Benou or something like that was fierce.

''Huh..........''

　Magical bodies (avatars) don't have pain, but they do have sensation. It doesn't suffer, but it does damage, and even if it doesn't feel fatigued, it's still fatigued. It doesn't consume oxygen, but the body breathes in air and exhales as it is, and the heart also pulses and flows magic power that replicates blood throughout the body.
　So if you exercise in the raw and short of breath, you'll be out of breath, and if you get upset as well, your breath will be disturbed.

　-- What the hell, this guy is too strong (,,,,).

'What's up, boy?'

　The "Wind Blade" can read my movements, and it's too fast to be caught by the "Air Box".
　My magic body (avatar) is sweating lazily from the flame heat over there.
　It's so fast and magic control that the wind wizard lags behind in aerial combat.
　Fire magic that even water magic can't extinguish.
　The overwhelming amount of magic power that becomes clearer the more you fight, the more you fight.

　I don't think I'm the strongest at the moment.
　But there are few people who think they can't beat me one-on-one.
　And yet, this guy.

''Isn't he lacking in magic power?''

　And that's for sure. At my age, there's a limit to how much I can train my magical organs. The same goes for chasing aerials, and I used too much magic power in my fight with the mermaid sister.

''Why don't you take the help of the spirits?''

Don't you ever watch the video board?　I've made it known that I won't be using it.

...stupid.

That's how far I've come in all my life.

Phew!

　Benue is gone.
　No--back there!

　I turned around and released a wind blade.
　It sliced the guy's body in half.

　-- What?

　From the fight so far, it seems to be able to handle this level of interception.
　I can't believe it was decided in such a dumbfounding way - what's going on here?
　What's happening.

　Benou's body, which was cut in half, did not shatter.
　On the contrary, even its cross section is made of fire. It's as if the flames just took the shape of a person.

"I wonder how it came to be here.

　His arm grabs me by the neck.
　The cross-section of my neck sticks together and returns to normal.
　What is this guy, isn't he a [demon]? Or is it the magic of the magical world?

　I quickly grow a wind sword on my arm and slash that guy's arm with it. But, as I thought, it will soon be back to normal.
　Since his body is made of fire, he can't be killed by normal means...!

Gulp.

　We're in the air, and thanks to Aerial's 'celestial box garden', we're out of the way.
　The entrances and exits to the block have been tweaked to go back inside the block, respectively.
　No one can interfere with the fight, and neither can you help your friends.

'Look, look at her,'

　Benou doesn't try to burn me, but for some reason he talks to me.
　But the force that tightens my neck is considerable, and I can't break free of it with arm strength alone.
　I think about what to do with an opponent who will quickly regenerate even if I just slice through it with the 'wind blade'.
　What that guy pointed at - it was Fran.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right. No matter how far ahead of you she was, she wanted to be with you. Look at that.

　Fran is a [destroyer].
　There is no logic. A [Position (Job)] given to a strong creature.
　The big right arm is only one element. That guy is strong without such things.
　In fact, while there were many to one, the number of demons in the 'Beginner's and Beginning Dungeon' had been greatly reduced.

　Oh, but............
　Gulp, her body trembled.
　This is because the horse man's archer's arrows pierced through four in a row. Orobus. The one I saw in the tag team tournament.
　An orc with one arm broken - Ronoway or whatever his name was - that guy is praising Fran, "You did well," he says.

　Fran's head turned to me.
　When he realizes my condition, he peels his eyes and tries to run.

　But I failed. The damage to the magical body (avatar) had caused too much magic power to flow through it.
　I fell down and hit my face. Still, Fran tries to crawl over here with only her tattered left arm. There's still an enemy left, but turn your back on it.

I don't care what you're trying to achieve. "I don't care what you're trying to achieve, I don't care what you're trying to achieve, but your people are doing everything in their power to help you win, and you're laughing and not using any of your powers. This is the only thing that matters.

　It wasn't long before Fran was doing so.
　The demons in the 'Elementary, Beginning Dungeon' that had previously fought fiercely and many of his friends would have been killed by Fran turned away. It wasn't that they had lost interest. They just couldn't look at it anymore.

''Ray, Su........''　

　With a final murmur of that, Fran's body dissipated with magic particles.

　Fran and I are childhood friends. Our parents are close to each other, and we've been together since we were little.
　Fran's right arm was born with it. His parents are good people, and they love their daughter, but at the same time they have normal sensibilities. It would be strange not to feel some fear for a daughter who, despite being a baby, can at least grip her parents' hands. Whether or not you can love her on top of that is what human nature is all about.

　So I consulted an ex-brave who lives nearby. My dad, in other words.
　I don't know if it helped, but Fran grew up without causing any serious destruction.
　For as long as I can remember, my dad gently taught him about controlling his powers.

　I soon learned that Fran was different from the norm. The fact that he was strong and that his arms were big and not a normal color was just one element of Fran to me, but to the rest of the village, it was different.
　Foreign objects are excluded.
　The adults blatantly avoided her, and the kids started to bully her when they realized she wasn't going to hurt anyone.
　They threw rounded mud at her, trapped her feet, and used it as a test of courage to see how hard they could hit her and not get angry.

　I was really pissed off about it.
　I got a little spanked (...). My dad told me not to point my magic at people, but some of them wouldn't listen to me if I just hit them.
　Just like what happened with the case that was seen by Fenix-sempai and Lily-sempai.
　Anyone who thinks it's okay to hurt a kind human being who doesn't hurt people, in jest or for fun, should be hurt.

　It's not that I didn't have any friends at all, but the ones I thought were my friends stopped getting involved around the time I started talking bad about my father.
　Fran's favorite things to say were "thank you" and "I'm sorry". I know thank you, but what do you mean sorry? I told her not to apologize when she had done nothing wrong, but it took me a while to get out of that habit.

　One time I got into a fight with my dad. It was a fight. I was just selfishly shocked to hear that the first place brave man had retired because of me.
　It would be at that time that I decided to clearly rise to the first place without a spirit.

　The [Indomitable Hero] had a child and decided to retire.
　But at that time, he had fallen to second place. That was the year I was overtaken by [Stormy Brave] Aerial Party.
　I could have turned it around if I tried one more year. Absolutely. Because my dad is the bravest man in the world.
　But then he left the industry after just having a baby, and some people even came out and said he was a retired loser after being overtaken by the four biggest spirit contractors.

　It's all my fault.
　So I've got to show them the favor.
　Baka, you don't need a genie to be number one.
　You have to say so. If not, I'll never be able to look after myself.

"...Wraith, will you be an adventurer?

Of course.

"Yes.

I mean, why don't you become one?　There are only a**h*les in here, but being an adventurer is all about being strong. When you're an adventurer, people will see that you're good-looking. Best of all, it's okay to punch your enemies in the face. No hurting, no destroying, no hitting... it's tight, okay?　Let's be number one together.

"I'm only so long as I have the Wraith.

"What's that? I'm going to be an adventurer and travel around the world, and I'll be out of this village soon.

I'll be there.

"What the hell,

"I'm not in the way, am I?

"What?　There's no way I'm going to invite someone who doesn't want me to join the gang. We're going to have a first place party. I thought about who I needed for that, and I invited you to join me.'

Yeah. Then I'll be after all.

'Hmm. That's nice, but you don't have to do anything, okay?

"I will destroy anything that stands in your way. So take me with you.

'Haha, you said it. Then you're coming with me.

"...yes.

　Come to think of it, it was also the day I promised Fran a party.

What does it mean to you to be a mate?　Are you worth less than your own mean?

Shut the f*ck up, man.

　The small 'wind blade' is scattered around at random. Its body is torn apart. I get out of it in a second before it regenerates. Accelerate with the wind magic and get away from it.

''That's not a constitution, it's magic, right?　Then it shouldn't regenerate indefinitely.

　The blue flames take on the form of a demon once again.
　I don't know why this guy isn't wasting his time killing me, but I'm not going to have to match it.

"You have no way of killing me to the point of regeneration.

　Something is wrong. Something is wrong. That's right. My right hand isn't regenerating. No, it's not.
　My hand is still around my neck.
　When I realized that, the force of my arm trying to return to my body pulled my body back as well.

　The arm of that guy is in a position, so he can't even carve it with the 'wind blade'. Even if it was a 【Brave Man】, I couldn't pull it off.
　Is there no choice but to defeat the body?

　'Blade Whirlwind'. It's a blade of air that mimics a whirling, violent wind. The one caught up in it will be chopped up by the whirlwind.
　I'm not going to be able to stop it!

I'm tired of seeing wind magic!

　The voice came from above.
　Before he could react, the impact.
　Benou's kick that exploded on his left shoulder was burning. The skin of the magic body (avatar) burned with a heavy blow.

　I fall with such force that I don't care about such things.
　But it doesn't fall to the ground. The bottom of the block is connected to the ceiling, and we can't get out of the airplane.
　That's what it was supposed to be.

　The scenery didn't change, it flowed as it should have.
　I would crash to the floor with great force, expelling all the air from my lungs.
　The aerial - did the 'Heavenly Box Garden' unravel?

''It was unraveled(,)''

　Benou says as he comes down, as if he read my mind.
　I quickly adjust my stance, but Benouou shows no signs of pursuit.
　When I looked around, I saw that the aerial was slammed into the ceiling.

　--Was it blown away, the 【Storm Hero】...!

I can't afford to waste any more of your time.

　I could see Benou's attention turned to Remeghton. The aerial is not dead yet. The fight goes on.
　You want to help your boss. You're not interested in this boy anymore.

　--You're full of shit.

　And yet I can't think of a way to beat this guy to death.

"Let's end this, Mister...

Yes, sir.

　Cloak. In the shadow of Benou's cloak, I noticed someone lurking in the shadows of Benou's cloak.
　The upper half of a person and the lower half of a snake. Lamia--[Snake person] is watching me.

　No, I should say that I began to see it. That guy had a bandage wrapped around his eyes, and he had just removed it.
　Red, eyes. Look at me.

"Wraith.........

　Someone was standing in front of me.
　It was Ewan-kun. [Brave man of the gale]. He was a wreck. I wouldn't say he was on the verge of leaving, but his hand was badly carved. As I recall, the one who was fighting was 【Brave man】 who was on the side of the demon for some reason. I remember it because the party structure is interesting. It's [The Greatest Hero] Ellie. Was she beaten by that woman? No, rather than that.

"What are you doing?

　Ewan-kun's body is getting darker and darker. No, I don't know how to describe it. If I tell it like it is, I'll tell it like it is, he's turning into more and more stone. My skin, clothes and hair were petrified.
　Is it a magical eye?

　Just like the magic sword, the eye that holds special curses and other items. You're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Even though there's no resistance (resist), even a brave man can be turned to stone.

　Ewan-kun laughs.

''You'll be closer to victory if you stay. That's just what I thought.

　With that, he is turned into a stone statue.
　Gale Rider] Yuan can't fight anymore.
　Because he covered for me and turned to stone.
