Literally shattered, Guardian's body fell to the ground in the surprise of all of us. I didn't hear it clearly, but I'm sure Haya hyung mentioned Mr. Togabe when he heard that strange sound. "So it's Togabe-sensei?" If that was true, Togabe-sensei was too strong for a normal student. But when I thought of it, someone ran over, rather than gliding on the ground, Togabe.
-Togabe you're here. Just now .... did you do it?
-Hum? What are you saying strange? Just now when you all made the Guardian fall, I started to run here.
-If so ... by whom.
At this moment, my feelings were divided into two halves. Half felt relieved that it was not Togabe, half wondering who had broken the Guardian into hundreds of large and small pieces in one blow. Perhaps that hypothesis was made by a teacher, but when it comes to thinking again, it is even more impossible because this is a selection session so teachers are prohibited from intervening except in an emergency. Or by another student, but genius like Mr. Togabe is one of the five strongest students in the school, and this selection only him among the five of them participated. "Then who can?"
-Hey Kazuto, why do you look so nervous?
-A ... um ... I'm just a little curious about who ended the Guardian.
-Who's the same, but it's not the time to freeze up.
-Yes!
Indeed, even now, trying to wring out thoughts is useless but only a waste of time. I slapped my cheeks with both hands and let me "wake up".
-Now, both groups have people who are almost running out of magic so do they want to continue or stop fighting until next time?
-That's ...
Rena placed her index finger on her cheek, face slightly up in the sky, looking like she was wondering between fighting us or not. Now I just wish that I didn't have to fight Togabe's team.
-Before running here, I saw the other two teams were also restrained by the Guardians.
Togabe's statement confirmed my previous hypothesis, each of which had a Guardian blocking the way. "Togabe's team ...?" That's right, until now I remembered, the captain of each team had to wear that magic-restraint ring. "So who is the wearer?" I raise my hand, pretending to rub my eyes, but actually to glance at the wrists of other people to see who is the captain. And as expected, Togabe-taicho was the captain. At that time, even a little bit open, but with the yellowish green of the bracelet made me realize. Togabe must have realized what I was doing, too, then immediately pulled down the sleeve with his right hand. It may have been my imagination, but at that time Togabe and I looked straight into each other's eyes, feeling that the atmosphere was much heavier even though everyone around us was still talking normally.
-So we have free time to compete.
Rena then clapped her hands, smiling face but with killing intent when looking at Haya.
-Hicc ...
Feeling depressed because I was about to fight when my mana ran out, I suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers. From the far side of our left, a pillar of red smoke was fired, signaling that the party on that side was out. It was not all that surprised us, and immediately after that a loud sound like a drum sound rang out. Next was a stream of light, rather an orange circle of light surrounding the valley appeared and gradually narrowed towards the center. After a moment of stiffening, Kaito suddenly rushed to death.
-Ne! Did you do that !?
-Run, what else! Who knows what that suspicious thing can do.
After listening to this, Rena started to laugh, too, and then the rest, including me, ran as fast as we could. Because everyone wanted to save magic power, everyone didn't want to use magic to be faster. But at least because I thought so, after a short while, Togabe started using the magic of surfing on the ground and gradually surpassed everyone. The part where Rena jumped and grabbed Togabe tightly made him wobble and almost fell down.
-What ... Rena!
-Haha! Give me a lift for a while.
Kaito saw that as he jumped to try to cling to Togabe.
-Wait for you too!
But instead of clinging to his shoulder, he slipped his hand and gripped her ... Rena's skirt. After that, all three of us fell down furiously for a long time, so the rest of us followed and got hit.
-Pain....
-Kaito! What the hell are you doing !?
Rin seemed very angry and her glasses were cracked almost on one side.
-Sorry ... eh ... what is this?
Kaito picked up a strange cloth from his hand, I thought and wondered why I had it.
-That's ... eh ... eh .... Geez !!
After inflicting Kaito on a magic spell that sent him flying into the forest by ripping his skirt, Haya also gave Rena her coat to tie around her stomach like a skirt. At that time, we were quite a distance away from that light circle and it also gradually slowed down so we separated in two different directions and arranged to rejoin when meeting again. "It was absurd ..." I thought to myself about this, because if it was in real combat then there would be no truce waiting for the recovery of magic power, but it would be a decisive battle for the living, who died. "Well, I thought too much again. This is just a battle between students, after all. "I scratched my head and thought. A while later, when I entered the forest, I suddenly felt that my surroundings seemed to be much colder than usual. The surrounding also began to appear unusually dense fog, making me even more anxious.
-Hey, how do you feel ... how ...
Strangely enough, just a few seconds ago I could still hear them laughing and laughing when I turned around to see no one else. I started running back to find them, but even if I kept running, I couldn't find them or come out of the forest. "It's like the times at Chiaki's school." I felt bored and sat down next to the tree next to it. After waiting for a while, I gradually became sleepy, maybe I would fall asleep there if not for avoiding the flying knife.
-Who's that!?
Despite asking that, there was no answer but instead, the blades were constantly flying towards me. At first I tried to catch those blades and threw them back, but they only flew a distance and vanished, which meant that they were the knives from the summoning weapon. Then I ran as fast as I could, hiding behind a tree and trying to brainstorm very quickly what I should do now. "Wait .... what if I also made a knife? But first I have to do something so I won't be seen first. "Then I ran as fast and as far as I could so I wouldn't get hit by a knife while chanting a spell. After a while running and dodging the knife and using the sword, I seemed to be able to escape and then stood behind the big tree nearby. There was no precedent for creating two other weapons when using the summoning weapon or creating the desired weapon, so I tried to create a weapon with a pull system and wished it would be knife. Although there was a part of me that felt uneasy about not keeping my promise to Gaido, this was probably the only way I had. "As long as no one sees it, it's definitely okay," I told myself, then relaxed myself like summoning the sword. Since I had used the magic system magic only once when fighting the demon, I don't know how to feel this flow of magic clearly in my body right now. With each passing second, I feel more stressed and the fear of the enemy finding me. And finally it came true, the blade came flying at a very fast speed towards me, but I was able to dodge it so it only scratched my cheek and bleed some blood. "What should I do now? If I can't summon a knife then how can I… "Thinking about this, I froze for a while and would probably have hit my head to the ground if not for the fight. At that time, my only thought was to feel depressed for forgetting that I could fire fireballs or cast a spell on my sword. Perhaps it was due to being used to using breakthrough magic during the training period with Haya. Immediately after that, I enchanted my sword and tried to swing my sword in succession, firing magical "sickles" forward. Although not sure the opponent's position, but just slashing indiscriminately, it is certainly possible to at least hit one. After a while of slashing and dodging the knife, I started to feel tired because the magic power was gradually exhausted. But fortunately, before that happened, my magic sword had cut off a spike and caused someone to fall.
-Oh!
The moment I saw the opponent, I charged towards the sword in my face.
-Heh ... pant ... surrender. I won.
-...
In front of me now Kisei-sensei, class 3-D. After a few seconds passed in silence, he just smiled, stood up and raised his hands in surrender. Or at least because I thought so.
-Haizz, at first I wondered why this time for the first years to join. But now I see clearly, the first-year floods promise this year ... but ... ALSO IT'S JUST IT !!
At some point, when I didn't notice, he summoned a knife and stabbed it at me. Luckily I dodged it, then I jumped backwards. He thought he would continue to hide, but soon he rushed over. I leaned in, blocking his knife with the sword. Then he turned, fanning my legs to make me fall down. Stabbing the knife down, I had to fly my sword to make him back away. Getting up and regaining consciousness after the previous phase, I intercepted the two knives that were flying in and immediately rushed forward. The sound of metal rang when the two weapons collided, I leaned over, turned a round to the left to circle the back of the slash, but he just needed his arms behind his back to block. I continued to jump up, slashing diagonally in the direction from the bottom up and then swing around in a swing from the top down and ended up thrusting straight when the feet hit the ground. But all my movements, even so fast, were still caught and intercepted by him. Feeling like I was hopelessly fighting, I jumped back and used magic. But that was my mistake, he immediately rushed to the ground when I hit the ground, my left hand gripped and squeezed my right wrist, causing me to let go of the sword, my left hand strangled me and lifted me off. ground. "Damn, he defeated me without using any magic other than summoning weapons."
-Well, can you pass the cargo now?
-Ep ...
Just when he was about to surrender, suddenly an arrow came from far away, stabbing into his leg.
-What ... name ... anesthesia?
The person who had strangled me now fell to the ground.
