"The brain is overloaded," they said, which was the answer I got when I asked about the reason why Futoshi-sensei was vomiting blood.
According to what I have learned, humans cannot keep up with the speed of light. So how do Futoshi-sensei cast that magic without cutting my body to pieces? He simply deceived his own brain. Like the technique I call "full concentration", Mr. Futoshi also poured a large amount of magic power into his brain. But it was on a different level, the amount of magic was several times higher than what I did, he almost poured all his magic power into his brain, stimulating his nerves beyond the normal threshold. and mislead your own perception that you can be as fast as the speed of light. And that helped him adjust his magic so that it only caused me scratches. Listening to it was a great technique, but it was actually a double-edged sword. As if trying to refill a sealed container full of water, when it is beyond the limit it will naturally bulge and explode. The brain was the same, but the abundant magic power slowed down the process of "detonating" so after attacking me Mr. Futoshi could still stand for a short while.
Thinking about such a dangerous technique, in addition to "full concentration", I still had my "lightning speed" that I had just discovered the principle I could do in the past month. First, I used fire magic to make my body feel hot like lava and then fused with lightning magic to move as fast as a real lightning. Originally this technique did not cause much impact on the brain as "fully focused" because at that time the cognitive speed was equal to the movement speed of the body so my brain was not overloaded. But there are two major problems, the first is that doing so is equivalent to "burning" the whole air so I can't breathe, I can only hold my breath so that the rest of my lungs don't "go" with me. the outer part so I couldn't use it for too long and had to stop before the oxygen left in my lungs and fainted halfway. The second is the resistance of the wind, the amount of heat generated by my magic formed a barrier that prevented me from moving, so when I stopped it meant that the shield no longer existed and I would catch it. suffered great force as if crushed by a rock. So anyway, I think I should limit the use until I think of a solution.
"Chaldela Hospital" is the name of the place I went to. Four days have passed since the day I defeated that person, Futoshi. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and slowly entered the large room for patients, which was originally a room set for the seriously injured contestants so there was no one besides him.
-A, Kazuto. You came to visit again.
-Yes. These fruits ... I put them on the table.
-Well, it looks so fresh, thanks kid.
-No, my friend bought it, not me.
-But even if you're an opponent, how can you be grateful if you're visiting.
-Haha.
That's right, no one has beaten the opponent on the field and visited if people were badly injured unless there is a reason, and I am no exception. My reason is because of technical curiosity. For the past two days I have been visiting mainly to ask about that technique, he is a gentle and open-minded person so there was no doubt when I asked. But even so, I was no different from the others, so I was determined to visit "really" today. After a while of conversation, I learned that the reason why he didn't come to the arena of Rome was to become a knight or polish his name, but to find a worthy opponent and test the technique.
-It's about 8 o'clock, kid's not going to go.
-A! Sorry, so please excuse me.
-Yes. Goodbye.
Today is the day of the first quarterfinal match taking place and also the match that I consider the most special in the whole tournament, the match between Kaito and Rin.
Instead of bowing, they high-fived and headed towards the opposite.
-That's about time Rin. It will be time to decide who is stronger than whom.
-Well. And that person will be me.
-Oh, awful confidence, to see how long you can show that confident face.
Long time no see ... I still remember that face ... the savior.
-You woke up.
The four surrounding walls are stony ground, with six wooden columns supporting the wooden ceiling and a staircase leading up.
This must be a basement. But of a house or a castle or something else? No, more importantly, where is this?
-Hey, did you hear me?
Ignoring those words, he still rolled his eyes to examine the room.
-You ... who let you ignore me !?
Throwing a short knife across his face, he raised his voice and pointed a large sword at his left shoulder.
-Reply to me, or say goodbye to your beloved left arm.
-He, dare to take my weapon, why don't you use it to kill me right away?
-If I could do it, I would have done it four days ago ...
He placed the blade on the table and sighed, looking bored.
-... but he won't allow it.
It has been four days since that day, it can be said that Mr. Gaido was surprised because he fainted so long.
-She? You mean the leader of a crappy gang wearing black cloth cut from a blanket?
-You ... sorry, but don't get any information from me.
That's not true, he thought to himself, but he certainly had a high position in the guild. But why does he want me to live?
-But ... he just said not to kill, not to say anything else, so ...
-Huh?
He picked up the long whip and repeatedly slammed the ground.
-... I will enjoy this elegant pleasure, hunter.
Covering the ax with magic, he swung down and the stone floor in the arena rose like ripples towards Rin. But with just one by sticking the spear into the ground, he blocked it by creating a magic shield.
Pointing the spear at Kaito, he used magic and exerted a strong force as the lance whirled and then flew towards Kaito. Despite the support, the lance did not stop and gradually pushed back to the edge of the ring.
-Dammit. How long is it going to turn?
Rin's spear kept flying and stuck to the wall, his ax fell to the ground, but he disappeared.
-Under the ground !?
With just a kick, Rin cracked the entire floor and caused Kaito, who was now using earthbending magic, to fall out.
-He stand up.
Rin said that he was a teacher made Kaito somewhat uncomfortable.
Rushing towards dizzying speed, Rin poured a great deal of magic power into her right foot and kicked Kaito away.
Pain! Luckily I could catch up, but ...
Looking at the left arm swollen with pain, he clicked his tongue and placed his right hand on the ring and chanted a spell. A series of sharp stakes sprang up and stabbed towards Rin, even though he tried to dodge but with a large number, he was still grazed by several stabs. Even so, that wasn't a problem, what really worried him now was that the wound in his arms was coming back.
I need to finish this game fast. But how?
While running while dodging those dangerous stone stakes, he saw, Kaito's battle ax lying on the floor. Yes, even if he could summon a new spear, he wouldn't be able to eliminate this mess, but he believed that the oversized ax could be. He used magic to create light and blinded Kaito.
-Hey! Who let you touch my big baby.
-Well!
Rin slammed the ax to the ground, a strong tremor caused all the stone pillars to crumble.
-My turn.
Throwing that huge ax away, even though it hurt, Rin tried raising her left hand and chanting a spell. Immediately, dozens of spears appeared in midair and pointed at Kaito.
-Oh, what do you think you can do?
Kaito clenched his left fist and the wrists of the stone piles flew up and formed larger piles.
-Go up!
In that melee, there's one thing I'm sure of. The two had laughed, their smiles clearly showing on their faces that they were very happy because they had a serious match with their best friend.
