The great sword of fire cut down 20 in a kesa.
　It was blown away as it was.
　It immediately turned into a mass of flames and 20 writhed in agony.

　It was a direct hit.
　Cecil's [It's (Rae) a swing of the (Rae) Flame God Hammer (Va) one swing (Ting)].
　Rowan's magic elimination.

　The high wall of 20, which could not be penetrated by one person, could be broken through by the combined strength of the two.

　However, 20 was alive.
　Even though he was covered in flames and turned reddish-black all over, he could barely stand up.
　He was able to break his beloved sword 'Diva', but apparently it still wasn't enough to cut through the powerful [Warrior (Warrior)] strengthening magic and a body that was trained to the level of Lacelle.

''Hey, hey........''

Haha.... You're a freak.

　Rowan and Cecil are half stunned.
　They look at the demon who still stands up after the two of them have taken the biggest blow and smile.
　They had no choice but to laugh any longer.

　20 sniffs with a huff.

''You guys, why do you look so happy?''

'What?　Was I laughing?　Right. Well, I dare say it's because I could fight you again.

What?

In this case, I mean. I worked with Rowan, but I wanted to take you down one on one.

Do you really think you're in over your head?

I'm serious. I'm serious. I have someone who wants to catch up with me. I will never be able to catch him until I am strong enough to defeat him with one arm, just like you.

Same thing with your right. I want to fight you and win. That's what he said before.

Hey!　Calling your friends "he" is not so bad. It's not fair to me. My name is Cecil.

All right, all right. Don't let a little thing like that get in the way of your job here.

What's the little thing?

　In the middle of the battlefield, Cecil and Rowan began to argue.

　Their appearance was not like the warrior who had fought bravely earlier.
　He looked like a mere student everywhere.

''Kuhu!　Gwahahahahahaha!

　Suddenly, 20 burst out laughing.
　He opened his fever-dried mouth and let out a loud laugh.

'Oh my goodness!　You guys are really embarrassing. And that's why you're too good to kill.

If that's what you think, will you just give up?

Be quiet. We're students.

I can't capture you and I can't kill you.

　Cecil advised pityingly.

　Then 20 gave him a sharp look.

'I see. So that's why you relaxed your power at the moment of impact.'

　The earlier blow.
　At the moment of the direct hit, Cecil deliberately sweetened his grip.
　It was to avoid killing 20.

'I have a friend who's a witch, they're very good kids. Even you.

No. I'd rather be dead than give up.

　Twenty's wariness, which had been calm a moment ago, swelled.
　Even though he was badly burned and Cecil had relaxed his power on the verge, his internal organs were a mess and his ribs were broken.

　Still, 20 doesn't try to stop fighting.
　As if to show his pride in being a combat enthusiast, he stood in front of Cecil and Rowan.

　Meanwhile, the condition of the two of them is hopeless.
　Cecil's magic power is no more.
　Even Rowan, who released his full power to disrupt the 20 magic effects, was empty of magic power.

　Without magic power, no matter how much the two of them trained, they couldn't match the basic ability of a mage.
　Even before the fight, the match was already won.

　Then, Rowan stood in front of Cecil, who was ready.

''Cecil, run!''

What are you trying to prove to me? I'm not doing this. I'm not leaving my people.

Boys are supposed to dress up for this kind of occasion.

So... Are we supposed to suffer at your expense?　Just like you used to be....

　Rowan had severely injured one of his friends in the past due to his inability to do so.
　Cecil points that out.

I would not be willing to sacrifice one of them to escape. If I had a friend next to me, I would fight with them and leave gracefully.

You want to break up. --Okay, all right. Cecil is a stubborn man.

You'll never be as good as someone else.

　He grinned.
　Then they each turned to face the same direction and lined up the same distance in front of me.
　I stare at the demon in front of me - 20.

''That's nice. That face..... You're even more exciting than before. You're a man who is ready to die. I'm sure you'll agree. I'm prepared to give my life for mine.

　The 20's magic power swelled up.
　More than Cecil and the others, the 20 should have been using magic power.
　And yet, the amount of magic power drifting out of the 20 was far more than the two of them had expected.

　They couldn't see the bottom at all.

　Even so, the two of them were not frightened.
　They each grabbed their respective gains and confronted the 20.

　Meanwhile, 20 activated his magic.
　In an instant, he generated a single swing of a sword.

　And at the same time, the three of them kicked the ground.

''Whoa!
'Deyahhhh!


　The spirit of the game is overlapping.

　It was a momentary battle.
　No, the game had been decided from the beginning.

　A 20 appears in front of the unreinforced Cecil and Rowan.
　The two of them were unresponsive to that swift movement.

''Abby, you kids!

　Twenty swords slid through the air.
　It passed through Cecil and Rowan's sides and was about to be stabbed at the moment.

　Giiiii!

　A hard sound echoed.
　With a whoosh, it was the tip of the sword 20 was holding that cut through the air.
　After spinning several times in the air, it stabbed into the hard cobblestone ground.

''What?!''

　20 dismayed.
　But it was the same for both Cecil and Rowan.

　The familiar black hair and sharp blue eyes glowed in the vision of the two of them.

'Good work, both of you.

　The young man labored.

　A moment later, Cecil bled tears and cried out.

'Lacelle!

New!

　20 spits the word abominably.

'New?　No, demon.


　Your Grim Reaper.........


　The uniform of the fifth branch flipped.
　At that moment, Lacelle had already slipped into 20's bosom.

　It would have to be said that 20, who was following Lacelle's movements with his eyes, was extraordinary enough.
　Furthermore, 20, who was completely hidden in the bosom of the 20, activates the [Warrior (Warrior)] strengthening system magic in an instant.
　He fortified his defense and prepared for Lacelle's attack.

　However, the smile doesn't disappear from Lacelle's face.

''It's a good reaction. The decision to instantly realize the opponent's strength and choose a defense is also good. It's not a bad thing that the wounds don't disrupt your concentration and allow your magical power to spread throughout your body. His well-trained body is also quite ideal. It's a good thing that both 【Warrior (Warrior)】 and 【Blacksmith (Blacksmith)】 have chosen proximity-type occupational magic, and I have a good feeling about it. But...


　He's not my enemy yet.


　Lacelle swings over.
　It was a direct thrust by the right fist that was released like a crossbow.

　The fist, which has already activated multiple strengthened magic, and loaded with the strength and timing of your own muscles, easily penetrated 20 defenses and plunged into the steel body.

"Guhooooooooooooooooooo!

　A scream escapes from 20's mouth again.
　As it was, he was blown away while on a cone rubbing top and ran into a nearby house.
　Under the eaves of two houses away, I can see 20's white-eyed figure.

''S, geez........''

That's Lacelle.

　Cecil and Rowan are stunned.
　They slumped to the ground and were completely defeated, not by 20, but by the strength of Lacelle.
