We have arrived in space-time.

"This is space-time...?
It's like a normal forest.

　Lara and Marise scurry around and move their faces around.

'............'

　Cynthia was staring forward as if she was assessing something. Perhaps she is trying to analyze the magic of this space-time.

''Ah, this is space-time, the space I created for my training a thousand years ago.

　Just like Marise said, at first glance it looks like a nondescript forest.
　However, as I explained in the outside world, it's actually a wonderful place where you can spend a year's worth of intense time training in ten hours.
　That makes the content tougher, though.

'So Kurt. What are we doing here?

　Lara nods her head.

'Hmm, I'm going to give the three of you a lot of things. First of all....

　As I pondered.

Enemies?

　Immediately, Marise noticed.

　Suddenly, a black mass appeared from an empty space and sent magic bullets at the girls.
　In response to that, Marise put up a ward spell to prevent the magic bullets.

''........There are demons too?

　Ready, Cynthia asks me.

　But.

"It's not a monster. I made this one up myself. I called it the Contradictional Creature.

　
　The contradictory creatures surround Lara and the others.

Okay.........this is just the right time. Let's defeat the contradictory creatures first. What's the matter, don't worry. The contradiction creature's attack itself isn't much of an attack.

　The offense is...

　When I call out to the others.

Uh-uh!
I'll try my best!
'....I'll get this over with quickly and catch up with Kurt's strength...

　He seemed to be highly motivated.
　However, how long will that energy last?

　The contradictory creatures mercilessly showered them with magical bullets.

This one!　It's okay, even for me!

　Lara and the others each put up ward magic to defend against the magic bullets.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it. With the red magic power, which is suited to attack system magic, it's difficult to output such things as wardrobe magic to the maximum extent.
　The other two also effortlessly defended against the attacks of the contradictory creatures.

''Fire Spear!''

　Lara found an opening and fired a spear of fire at the contradictory creature.

　It seemed to go through the fire spear quickly and hit the contradictory creature.........
　However.

''Ki, it's not working!

　Lara is astonished.

　Yes. The fire spear slipped through the contradiction creature and pierced the ground.
　Of course, the contradiction creature seemed to be pinging.

''Lara. You shouldn't be frightened. Let's attack it more and more.''
Uh-uh!

　After that, the girls released one magic after another while putting up warding magic.
　A wide variety of magic. High-powered magic.
　But all of it slipped through the body of the contradictory creature and was unable to damage the opponent in any way.

''What do you mean?''
'I'm sure the attack must have hit...'
I've never done this before.

　The three of them were puzzled by the scene.

'Contradictory creatures are like that. They exist and yet don't exist they are such creatures.

　At my words, the three of them turn their heads in unison.

'Kurt, you say you exist and yet don't exist?'

　Lara asks me while using warding magic to block the attack.

'It means exactly what it says. That creature doesn't exist. But it exists at the same time, and it attacks Lara and the others.
I don't know what you mean!

　Marise raises her voice.
　
　It's no wonder they're confused.

''Let's show them a sample of how to defeat a contradictory creature first.

　I pull my sword from its sheath.
　Then, in an instant, I close the distance between me and the contradictory creature and flash it.
　The contradictory creature that was cut in half disappeared as it was.

''What do you think, isn't it easy?''
""It's not easy!"

　The three of them leaned forward.

''All those times I attacked you and you couldn't do any damage?
What is the principle?　How can you touch someone who doesn't exist...?
"...what Kurt is doing doesn't make sense.

　Above the three of them, the '? There seemed to be a mark in the air.

What, it's not that hard, because a thousand years ago, this is how some people would have been able to suppress their existence.

　But I can't put my hands up in front of someone like that.

　I can also eliminate it from existence.
　However, in that case, the power of the attack will inevitably decrease, so I don't often use it for anything other than hiding activities.

In any case, we need to be able to defeat the non-existent ones.

　He wouldn't be able to inflict a single wound on the evil god Bagnuva.

'But how!

　The contradictory creature flies magic bullets even while I was doing this.
　Although it seems to be said many times, the attacking power of the contradictory creatures itself is not a big deal. However, if they are attacked without a break like this, the girls might suffer painful damage one day.

It's hard to explain the trick to me. The only way to do this kind of thing is to actually move your body and learn it.

　However, is it too much to give any hints?

　I thought so.

I dare say you should see the contradictory creature with your mind's eye. Contradictory creatures are the very essence of what the mind is. When you look through the eyes of your mind, Lara and the others will be in the same field as the contradictory creatures.

　He uttered just one word.
　However, the three of them did not seem to fully understand.

'Well..... Then I'm going to leave this place for a while. I'll be back in about two hours. I'll look forward to that time.
Hey, wait a minute!

　Marise stopped me, but I turned my back on the girls.

'Sparta...!

　I heard Cynthia's voice like that from behind me, but I walked forward with my heart in my mouth.

　The three of us should be able to at least get the hang of how to defeat the contradictory creatures in two hours.
　We should also use consciousness-sharing magic just in case. If the three of us are in danger, we can use transference magic to help them immediately.

'Slaying the non-existent I look forward to seeing the three of you grow up.

　I muttered to myself in a pout, and I started to move to a certain place.
