I now came to the center of the city. There was the sight of a horde of nearly 100 orcs attacking the inhabitants. I've been here before, of course. The streets, which had been very busy just because it was the center of the city, were now painted red and bloody. The food stalls where residents lined up to buy, the couches where lovers sat side by side, the fountains where children played happily with each other, have all been destroyed. When I saw that, I forgot what my mother always told me to do: "Judge calmly at all times.

'Hah!'

　I swing my sword down at the closest orc.

''Bu-o-ooh!''

　He didn't realize that, so he just cut the orc down. It was the first time I had ever killed a creature, but now I didn't have time to think about it. We just need to thin out our numbers and get these people out of here!

Look at me! Orcs!

　Shouting loudly, I was able to get the attention of the orcs that were nearby.

　I then cut down from the orcs that were nearby in turn. I cut them down, being careful not to be surrounded by them. But even if I cut them down, their numbers didn't seem to decrease.

''d*mn!''

　An orc swings his club from behind. I barely avoid the orc's club. But there were too many of them, and I couldn't keep up my strength at this rate. As I was thinking about this, a very large orc came from the back. It wore splendid armor compared to the other orcs and carried a rather huge sword.

''This is the Orc General........''

　I couldn't move my body the first time I saw an orc general. It was incomparably intimidating compared to other orcs. Just when I thought this was going to be bad, the Orc General swung his sword down.

''BMOO!''

　I maxed out my physical enhancements and managed to take it with my sword, but it was at a cost. My sword was broken from the root, my arm was also broken and I was blown away.

　I crashed into the wall and managed to stand up, my head wobbling, but the Orc General was already standing in front of me.

　I had the talent of 'Sword Master' in my title, and I thought I had been working hard at it. But I couldn't compete with this monster at all. Does this mean that I don't have the experience that your father was talking about?

　The Orc General was already in the form of swinging his sword down. But I could barely stand and couldn't move anymore.

　As I was giving up, I suddenly heard a voice say, ''It's no use.

''Don't give up!''

　Then that one charged at the orc general. The Orc General managed to notice it and received it with his sword, but he couldn't withstand it and was blown away like I was earlier.

　And the one who appeared was my brother, who was wearing lightning.
　
　Whew! That was close! If it were a little later, Aeris would be dead.

Are you all right, sister?

....

　Hmm? No response. Is he badly hurt? I know my arm is broken.

'Sister! Are you okay? Please respond!

N....and..........

What?

Why did you come here?

　Oops! I was suddenly pissed off.

'You're not good enough to lose to me in every mock battle! So how did you end up here? Even I couldn't compete with an orc general I'm not someone who can compete with you!

No, but you just blew it up.

'That's not a Magre that went in by surprise! Run while you're still down! And go get your father, or Lady Ellis, or your mother, or whatever you want to call it!

What are you going to do about your sister?

'I'll get his attention here. I can do that even if he's injured!

　Sigh, I'm getting really annoyed. This sister is totally annoying. That's why I...

So, no more Ray, yay! Rehi, yeehaw!

　I pinched him on both cheeks as hard as I could.

'Don't be silly at all! I'm not going to leave my precious sister! Shut up and stay there and watch!

　Then Aeris cried out.

But I can't handle it, Hiccup. I'm not going to let my brother, who is weaker than me, get in the way of that.

You're taking this on too much by yourself, and if you can't do it by yourself, why don't you just help me out? Well, that's where I'm resting this time.

But!

But not that. Huh~ Shall I get serious too? I don't want to do this because my body won't be able to move and my magic power will be taken away at once~

Ray? What in the world are you saying...

You'll see, sister. This is the way I really fight.

　With that, I activated my magic.

''Body enhancement maximum activation. Lightning enchantment body grant double activation and weapon grant double activation. Double activation of speed enchantment double activation. Good, this is how it works.

What's that? You're only allowed to use one type of magic.

'You forgot, sister. I have 'Genius Magician' as my title. So I can activate more than one magic at a time.

　Yes, the technique I came up with was a superimposition of granting magic that gives attributes to physical abilities and weapons. I checked to see what would happen to the value if I did this and lo and behold, the original value x the value of the magic I granted x the value of the magic I granted = the value I enhanced! With my current magic power, this is my limit, but with this, I can compete with it to some extent.

　In the meantime, the Orc General stood up. It's pretty sturdy, even though I blew it up with my reinforced spear.

''Sister, stay back.''

　Saying that, I charged at the Orc General.

　The Orc General couldn't keep up with my enhanced speed, and its body would soon be covered in blood. However, its defense is high, or it doesn't connect to a decisive strike. I can't move my body if I even do that technique. What should I do........

BMOO!

　As I was thinking this, the Orc General let out a yell. As he did so, the orcs around him gathered around him. This is bad. They're going to kill me when I'm surrounded and unable to move.

　When I looked at your sister, she had a very anxious look on her face. Huh, I don't want to see that face. It's no use, let's just get it over with.

　And so I released more magic than ever before.

''Lightning Magic Lightning Vortex Weapon Grant!

　I'm going to give my biggest lightning magic Lightning Vortex on top of a spear that has been enhanced by my weapon grant. If I do this, the spear will be destroyed, but it's no use. It's the only way to kick out the surroundings.

　The spear that I've given it is now emitting a dazzling blue-white light. Seeing this, the Orcs stop in their tracks.

'Let's go! It's the biggest move I can pull off right now!

　And I will reap spears in all directions!

　'Hah! The Thunderbolt Annihilation Spear!

　A ridiculous roaring sound and a dazzling light turns the whole area white.

　Then, when the light stops, the area is completely black, not a single orc is left, and even pieces of meat seem to have been scorched.

　And then I turned to Aeris and I said

You see! Didn't we win?

　I smiled and told her that. Then Aeris rammed into me at great speed and hugged me.

'Oh God! Ray's an idiot! I was so worried about you! I was so worried about you! Eeeeeeeen!

　And then I cried. Oh no, what should I do? The fact that Aeris cried is also troubling, but I can barely stay awake because I don't have any more magic power myself, but....

　While I was thinking about this, the soldiers arrived. Some of them are teachers. There are times when I wonder if it's safe outside, but I can't do it anymore. I couldn't keep it up.

　I was relieved that the doctor had come, and I just passed out.
