What the hell did you do?

　The marshal shouted.
　He looked flustered and distanced himself from me.
　Rather than realizing that I'm not just a guy, I should take it as an instinct to step back.

　But that assumption was correct.

　There was a deep valley of competence between this enforcer and me.
　Now, I'm going to show you that.

''I didn't do anything major. I just released my magic power into the surroundings.

That shouldn't be enough to cancel my magic!

'Is it hard to understand?　It's basic.

　The root of magic is magic power.
　Without magical power, no matter how much I use magic, I can't use it.
　I'm sure you'll find it in the atmosphere and inside our bodies, and it's constantly flowing.

Then you can move that flow intentionally. It's like the candle on a birthday cake. It's the same principle as when you blow on it and the fire goes out.

'That's bullshit!　It's a trick that will blow up the amount of magic in your body in one fell swoop. The power.........difference......... ... Well, no way--

　That's very clever.
　As expected of a third class student.

　It seems that they have finally noticed the difference in their magic output.

"d*mn it!　What's going on?　The enforcers have frozen in place!
'An opportunity. While I have my attention on the Marshal...

　The first nobleman's crony who was hit first takes his weapon that was lying around.
　He attacked me from behind.
　Sarasa, who has [Future Vision], immediately notices.

''Watch out!

　She was my shield.
　But--


　[Frozen prison]


　A fluffy white haze floated up.
　In an instant, the water vapor around them froze.
　A moment later, a grain of ice stuck to the body of the attacker.

''Wha, what!''
'This!　Magic?

　The ice quickly eroded the men.
　It took away their voices, their vision, and their body heat.
　The next thing you know, two ice sculptures were created.
　They were truly ugly works of art.

　A click and the sound of shoes could be heard.
　We had already caught the attention of the students on their way to school.
　But it was all taken away from us.
　It was such an overwhelming presence.

　The one who appeared was a woman who seemed to be a tall, third class student.

　Long silver hair that looked as if it might be made of ice.
　The white skin characteristic of elves and ears stretched out to the side.
　A silver elf........
　Even though I've been reincarnated seven times, this is a rare species that I've only met as many as my fingers.

　A chest so well-developed that it pushes away my uniform jacket.
　An enticing body line that stretches from her waist to her hips.
　A slightly short skirt with pure white thighs peeking out of it.

　A silver elf. The beautiful aspect that accompanies it........

　It was not unreasonable to take the gaze of onlookers away from us.

　But that's not what makes this woman so amazing.

　The cold blue eyes that can make even the soul tremble.
　And I felt a strong conviction, much like mine.

　I hear someone whisper.

'It's the chairman.'
Vael Student Government President.
It's the [Frozen Dog Witch]!

　Oh, yeah. So this is the head of the neighborhood association?

　He's still a student, but he's got two names.
　Well...... That's certainly impressive.

　I observed the ground that was covered in ice.

　[Frozen Hell]

　It is an advanced ice attribute spell.
　A binding spell that stops an opponent's movement.
　Depending on its output, it can even cause instant death.

　As expected, it wouldn't have killed him, but it would have given him severe frostbite.

　A readiness to not be afraid of hurting them.
　I don't hate it.

"Scribe Lucien. I don't know what you're waiting for, when you're here on your first day as a freshman.

I'm sorry. Miss Vael.

What did you say?

'Well, I made a mistake. Chairman Vael (sic). I'm sorry to hurt your hand.

　The man named Lucian stands upright.
　He bowed his head to Vael as if he were swinging a machete down.

''So--. I didn't understand the situation, so I stopped the hostile one's movements for now, but let's have you explain to me what's going on.

Actually...

　Lucian explains the situation.

　When my name was mentioned, Vael's eyes narrowed.

　d*mn.......... He looked down at me again.
　And by a woman.........

　Oh.......... I can't wait for my secondary s*xual characteristics to start.

"Hoho......... You fell behind the [villager]?

I'm sorry.

　Lucien bowed his head again.
　Vael, on the other hand, looked interested and smiled thinly.

'I'm sorry, but what did you say your name was?'

'Lacelle.... Lacelle Singh Stark.

Payella, what have you heard?

Okay.

　The one who emerged from Vael's side was a calm and beautiful woman.
　She had straight, calm brown hair and clear, yellow-green eyes.
　Although she is more modest compared to Vael, she boasts a supple bust line and has a sufficiently attractive body.

　She wore a long skirt, as if to adhere to her chastity, with the symbol of the gods she believes in hanging down from her neck, in the manner of a [cleric].
　However, is it possible that she is a member of the local community association?
　There was a slit in the side, and the skin that was visible and hidden rather attracted the eyes of the surrounding male students.

''Oh my.... You don't know Vael-chan or Lucian-kun. This girl is quite famous. Although he's a [villager], he's the first person to pass a perfect score since the school started.

Well, perfect score!

　It was Lucien who raised his bare voice.

''Of course, top pass. He said the paper exam was so good that it made the instructors groan. That's right, Lasser Singh Stark.

　He smiled at me.

　It was the opposite of Vael's, a smile full of compassion.
　I nodded.

'Apparently, Lucien. I guess you were wrong.'

I'm sorry.

Are you sure you're not apologizing in the wrong way, Lucien?

　Then Lucien bit his back teeth.
　The gritting sound reaches my ears.

"I'm sorry.

I hope you understand. We'll let bygones be bygones.

Thank you....

　Lucien raises his head.
　I'm still not convinced........
　He had such a dull look on his face.

''You passed a perfect score? Even I missed two points. I see. You seem to be a competent person in your own right.

Not so much.

'I'm not so sure. I said earlier that it was hostile, didn't I?　I was going to freeze you too (I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze)(I'd like to see you freeze).

　Oh.
　I noticed.
　Because there was frozen water vapor floating around me, too.

　But I was also playing Vael's magic in a way that cancelled Lucian's magic earlier.

　I look up.
　I gave him a smile that wasn't as sophisticated as Payella's.

''I'm sure........'' Your kind senior must have taken it easy on me.''

Hmm. Oh, well. I guess we can find out what's going on later in the community room at leisure.

　Vael turned on his heel.
　Her silver hair swayed like a plucked string.
　Payella followed behind her, with Lucian following behind.

　Finally, things were settled.
　Cecil, Sarasa, and Rowan gathered at my place.
　Before I knew it, the nobleman and his cronies were gone.

''She was an amazingly beautiful person, but she didn't seem like a nice person........ Beda!''

　Cecil stuck out his tongue in a small way.

　Then, she sensed an intense magical power.
　At the same time, Sarasa's [Future Vision] also reacts.

''Cecil-chan, run away!

What?

　But I can't make it.

　The silver hair shakes again.
　Magic power was already being concocted in the palm of Autonomy Chairman Vael's hand.

　[Absolute Ice Spear]

　A giant ice spear is unleashed.
　While freezing all the air around it, it headed straight for me.
　Ice-attribute advanced magic........

　Hoho.
　It's a great thing.
　You are not much older than I am, and you already possess two advanced spells.
　I see.
　I'm sure it's only natural to be feared as the Frozen Dog Witch.

　Oh dear....

　Apparently, this is something like a letter of fulfillment from the head of the neighborhood association.

　Well, what can we do about it?
　I'll go along with it.

　I push away Cecil who was in front of me.

　I've concocted a magic formula.
　I hold my hand out to the approaching magic.

　Jeez, Jeez, Jeez, Jeez!

　A shrill sound rang out.
　The [Absolute Ice Spear] exploded in front of me.
　However, its effect stopped in front of my hand.

　----pp!

　The cool chairman's face twisted.

'Nonsense!　The Chairman's........ And you're even playing advanced magic!

　Lucien's screaming voice echoed.

　Playing..........
　Fool.
　It's not that simple.

　I further concocted my magic power.
　As if I had hit a wall, the [Absolute Ice Spear] bent at a sharp angle.
　As it was, it shot up into the sky.

　Then a huge pillar of ice rose up.
　Soon, it wriggled as if it was being manipulated by something in a circle.
　At first they didn't know what it was, but the people around them gradually grew more and more heated as they saw something gradually taking shape.

''Amazing....''

Beautiful....

　Cecil and Sarasa gasped.

　What appeared was a huge tree made of ice.
　And then a cold wind blows.
　A cold wind blew.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

　The other students, who had no idea what happened to the ice statue that was created in an instant, were innocently pleased.
　They cheered, pointing at it or being stunned.

　Some of them praised the head of the neighborhood association.
　Apparently, they mistakenly believe that the magic they unleashed on me was meant to make a tree.

　But the parties involved knew what had happened.

　Vael bites his back teeth.

　Still going to do it, I braced myself, but the chairman backed off easily.
　I turned on my heel and walked towards the school building with the other members of the homeowners' association.

'That was definitely aimed at Lacelle now. You people are so cowardly to take me by surprise. ........But as expected of Lacelle. I can't believe you even played the Chairman's magic.

"Play it........ If the other side thinks so too, then [Frozen Dog Witch] is an insignificant opponent.

What?

　Cecil tilted his head slightly.
　I didn't say anything else, but stared at the silver hair that was moving away.


　◆ ◆ ◆ ◆


'Hey, hey.... The use of magic outside of class is forbidden. It's a good thing that we are the ones who are in charge of enforcing the law, because if we break it, it's for nothing.

　Payella poked Vael's beautiful head in the air.

　Lucien, on the other hand, has a gleam in his eye.
　The chairman has avenged himself.
　He must have such a strong feeling.

''As expected of you, Miss Vael. That [villager]...''

　A moment later, Vael's blue eyes pierced Lucien.
　The icy eyes immediately shut the homeowners' association secretary's mouth.
　I'm being scolded.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

''The magic she used......... I wonder what it was?

　It was Payella who asked.
　Apparently, she too had noticed Lacelle's strange behavior.
　Vael replied on behalf of [villager].

''That's not magic. It's just magic.''

Magic?

　Against Lucian's magic, Lacelle used it to play the magic.
　On the other hand, it was different against Vael.
　Racel instantly tuned his magic power to Vael's magic power.
　By disguising Vael's magic power, he hijacked the operation of magic.

　It was easier said than done.
　The waveforms of magic power an individual possesses are different.
　But by controlling the magic power, it is possible to synchronize it.

　The control ability to disguise its minute waveforms.
　In addition, the overwhelming output is enough to twist the opponent's magic power.

　It's a divine feat that would be impossible to achieve if the two points weren't in place.

　Lacelle replicated it with [Frozen Dog Witch] and the advanced magic of a student who already had a glance at even the adventurers.

　In the end, Lacelle Singh Stark would have won over the two enforcers without using magic even once.

　Defeat.
　It was a complete defeat.

　Vael had always been the victor.
　When was the last time he had lost before?
　Looking back in memory, I'm not sure.

　So much so that Vael Dee Riviled's strength was prominent from a very young age.
　He was as strong as an adult, and he had been fierce from an early age.

　But he was defeated.
　And to a younger boy........

　Who the hell is that guy.....

　I suddenly remember the profile.

　Dokuri..........

　An unfamiliar onomatopoeic sound resounds in the body of the girl called 【Frozen Dog Witch】.
　Vael reflexively held her chest.
