People here just love seeing blood and gut spilled everywhere. Human lives mean much less in this world than the Hero's old Earth. They actually follow the survival of the fittest rule due to the harsh conditions. Until a while later, Hero will soon start to understand this.
Right now, he does not know what to do. He just stands there dumbfounded. Even when his girlfriend takes a slap.
To judge fairly, it is a splendid smack to the face of the beautiful Marie, at the best time possible.
Receiving huge humiliation and being taken by surprise, the concentration in Marie's head is still able to maintain the magic. That shows the amount of determination in her to kill Sam. The visualization in her mind is not that of the Laser Beam forming, but the Laser Beam piercing through Sam's head. And by god is it vivid. Thanks to that grotesque but strong imagery, the spell keeps on going.
But thanks to the smack, all that dedication has been transferred. Now the spell is being aimed at the stranger who appears out of nowhere.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" Marie yells. Her face contorted in anger and red in shame.
"Keep your filthy disgusting whore hole to your boyfriend." A pleasant, soothing voice like that of a good doctor, yet incredibly direct. Also, a little foul.
The students once again go wild.
In addition to seeing a beat-up, they are probably going to witness a catfight too.
What a good day for drama!
Cheers, whistles, and applauds instantly erupt.
They do not know who the other person is, but it does not hurt to hope for another spectacular fight. From the looks of it, the newcomer seems to have some power in them as well.
What she used before was probably Light magic: Refraction. By using that spell, light curved around her, making her nigh invisible.
It is a very high consumption spell. But all worth the mana if she could slap the living hell out of Marie.
Many of the female students have been trying to get closer to the Hero. Every time they do so, she would appear out of nowhere and shove them away while treating them like pests. Dozens of uniforms have been burned due to her actions.
In short, the girl down there slaps Marie for almost every girl in the school.
"Yeah. Shut your damn mouth woman."
"Hmph. You're just famous because of your childhood friend, and you get to have the Hero to yourself?"
"A handsome genius boyfriend, and a devoted childhood friend? How come I didn't get them?"
"I'm envious..."
"...We are, too..."
Down the arena, the girl in a lab coat is somehow very familiar to Sam.
Although his vision is now heavily compromised, the figure is definitely from someone Sam has seen before. And probably not just once. The person in his memory has always been in a lab coat, similar to the person standing there with him at this moment.
"YOU BITCH! WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?" Marie clearly has lost it. The slap to the face seems to have brought out the worst in her. Her index finger is still pointing at the lab-coat-person. The magic has not yet been dispelled.
"Not only you're a whore, but you're also disabled." Lab-coat-person says. She then looks at the Hero. "My condolences."
"U...um...I think you should apologize to my girlfriend!" He looks a little flustered.
"Your girl was slapped, and all you're doing is telling the culprit to apologize?" The girl stares at him.
"That...that's not it." A cold sweat quickly forms on his forehead.
"Then what are you going to do about it, huh? Come, hit me in the face just like what I did with your girlfriend."
"How can I hit a girl!?" Like being stepped on his tail, the Hero yells.
"Pathetic. Keep your weak ass morals to yourself."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL HIM!?"
A white flash appears from the tip of Marie's index finger.
She finally has had enough of it.
Marie smiles crazily, thinking about a head going to be pierced through.
"Look out!!" Hero yells.
Earth Creation Magic: Metal chains.
Muttering his recovered mana, Sam wraps the chains around the waist of the girl, trying to pull her down.
To his surprise, she looks back at him. For some reason, he feels like she is smiling underneath the facemask.
"There is no need for it. You should rest for now."
It is the same phrase Sam has heard throughout his middle school and high school year.
"Lily?"
The laser beam instantly forms but not in a straight line. It bends downward almost at 90 degrees, creating a small hole on the ground with smoke around it. The target suffers no harm whatsoever.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?!" Screams Marie.
*Slap*
Her face turns to the remaining side. Once again, the cheek turns red.
"Hey, Sammy. Long time no see!" The lab-coat person turns her head. Her actions and speech do not match one bit.
"...I saw you two days ago!?"
" Two days!? It's been that long? Does Sam Sam miss me? Do you want a piece of Lilypad?"
"Honestly? No."
"Ugh. Heartless bastard."
Suddenly, the temperature changes.
"STOP IGNORING ME YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!" Marie yells. Around her are orbs of light.
Light Magic: Laser Beam.
"You are really a disabled person, aren't you."
Holes on the earth are formed right after that sentence.
"Here. Let me show you how it works."
Light, water, and wind combination.
Light Creation magic: Laser Prism Beam.
Lily points her index finger. A laser beam forms and flies forward.
But not in a straight line. It curves.
"ARGHHHHHH!!!!! MY FINGER!!! SHE CUT MY FINGER!!!" Marie cries while holding her hand. There is no blood since the heat disintegrates every tissue almost instantly. Only the pain is still present.
Coincidentally, the severed finger is the finger that was pointing at Sam earlier.
"No more pointing. Learn some fucking manners." Lily blows her finger like a gun.
_________________________________________
Parmesan's note: I think I gotta explain a few things before we move on about magic.
So currently we have the basic elements: fire, water, wind, earth, light, and void.
Also, there is Prime version of them. Gravity is Prime Earth. The story will get into that later.
Creation magic is the combination of different elements to create new magic.
So in this chapter, we have Light, water, and wind combination creating prism.
Water + wind = ice. Ice can reflect light like a prism.
So Ice + Light = curvy light beams.
Also, don't talk about relativity or light speed. It's too much complicated for a fantasy. Just kinda take it that light beam can be seen moving somewhat for the sake of the plot haha xD.
The last chapter there was Metal chains.
Earth is basically rocks. And rocks are minerals.
So Fire + earth + water = metal
Anytime new Creation magic is formed, I'll make a note like this since this will be the core of the power scaling.
