The next day after the event last chapter.
Roxanne had just heard out what had occurred to Lucione the day before, so she went to his house to welcome him. But the instant she walked in, it turned into an interrogation with an excited interrogator.
"Ehh... you become a hostage!" Roxanne was excited to hear what happened to Luccione yesterday.
"Did you see the bad guys, what are they like?"
Luccione wishes he could tell her about their looks, but it was dark then, and they were hiding their faces with black sweaters and balaclavas. He also mentions how well they blend in behind dark corners.
"What power did they use against you? Roxanne questioned.
Luccione explains to Roxanne that the only magic they appear to be able to utilize is wind magic, despite the fact that they have a lot of magic circles on their sleeves.
"How did the Supreme Justice Corp. save you?"
"How did they escape?"
"Did they say any last words before they disappear?"
Luccione had had enough. He covered her lips with his hand for a moment before uncovering them.
"You haven't changed despite obtaining a blessing," sighed.
Luccione thanks her for being there for him when anything terrible happened. and that she is still with him after having received her previous self.
"Women your age on the earth would have avoided me and prioritized making friends with people of the same gender; even though I barely ever spoke to girls at school; having you by my side allowed me to experience things I never got to do before."
She became emotional and gave Luccione a hug.
"Don't thank me, that's what friends do,"
"There is no way I will leave you just because I don't befriend a boy in my past"
Luccione then slowly hugged her back.
...
"All right, I'm going now; you helped me feel better, so I'll repay the favor by finishing our partner activity," Roxanne stated.
Luccione is adamant about waiting for his recovery before performing the task. Roxanne, on the other hand, is eager to finish it as soon as possible. and she has the capability to do so.
.....
As she exits the backyard, she says her goodbyes. Giovanni flew down the roof and went over to Luccione's bench.
"What's the matter, dude?"
The enemies will be coming for him, according to Luccione. and he requires as much training as he can only to protect what is precious to him.
Giovanni asked a tough question: "Hmm... are you prepared to kill?"
"No, just enough to get away with"
Giovanni exhaled... "Look, gentleman, protecting someone isn't always enough; what if you have to kill your opponents to get away?" he explained.
Luccione is unable to respond to that question, so he remains quiet. he then asked another question.
"Then will you help me practice?"
Giovanni is doubtful that Luccione would adhere to his harsh instruction. "My approach solely prioritizes killing; I cannot teach someone to hold back," he informed Luccione.
"Plus, I am only skilled at wind magic."
.....
Leonor was in Luccione's room, handling all the dirty laundry when she heard Luccione make a cute battle cry. When she looked out the window, she was met with a gust of wind. She just grabs onto the wall to balance.
Oh my goodness!
.....
"That's not fair; how can I strike you if you just keep flying that fast?"
"It's not even a practice match, Luccione is leaving himself open; my attack could easily take his head off without him knowing," Giovanni thinks as he propels himself side by side around the house in a form of a box.
"Come down here and confront me head-on," Luccione yelled. He was carrying a tiny wooden plank and making a sword-like stance. But the wind is so powerful that he can't keep his gaze fixed on the sky.
A sphere of wind develops behind Luccione and explodes with minimal pressure, knocking him off balance. One more wind blast on top of Luccion to keep him from standing. "I had no idea wind pressure can be used as an alternative to gravitational force," he thought.
"This is never gonna work," said Giovanni
"No, this has to work! if I only master my capabilities, I am confident I can overcome your fighting tactics," Luccione declared.
"Dude, why are you so eager to be stronger when you are just a 9-year-old? By the way, not even a fully functioning adult can stand against my battle tactics"
"you leaving yourself open in the open field, I have so many angles that could finish you off"
.....
"Oh... really now"
It was Luccion's mother, and she was watching her son's practice match.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Luccione questioned, he was ashamed to expose his face because he was still laying on the ground.
"Lucc, rise up, you should never take a moment non unless you're preparing a counterattack," Leonor remarked as she helped him get up on his knees.
"What's with that poor strategy, housewife?" Giovanni taunts Leonor.
Oh my...
Luccione felt a terrible aura emanating from his mother as if the earth were trembling even though it wasn't.
"If I remember correctly, you stated before that you could finish off my son from any angle, right?"
"If that's the case, it indicates you're an expert in wide space."
"Wow, you're a clever housewife," Giovanni replied. "Why don't you simply go read a book and let the pro do the teaching?" Giovanni advised.
They are both now emitting a darker aura. The birds and insects in the vicinity are fleeing as if they had already predicted a disaster. Luccione was both delighted and afraid, thinking to himself, "Maternal instinct vs arrogant bird."
"Are you kidding me? Your disposition isn't top-notch; all I see is a pompous mixed breed."
"I'm not sure if you're a magnificent bird or a wingless deformity." Leonor is making a mockery out of Giovanni's incapacity to fly, despite the fact that his physique should suffice as well as the fact that he resembles a deformed magical bird with a chicken image.
"I see, so you've chosen death by decapitation," Giovanni remarked.
As Leonor senses this, a sphere of wind develops behind her and she soars straight up, evading it. "Not terrible, I suppose battling you is actually fun," Leonor replied as she flew on top of Giovanni on the roof.
"Ehh... you could well be the answer to my existential issue."
"Oh, I was correct then!" said Leonor
Giovanni laughed as he realized he had just revealed his secret and said, "Get ready to die"
Giovanni generated an explosive sphere under him as he jumped down the roof, and the explosion sent him high into the sky. He then propels himself around the house in the shape of a square.
"The wind is powerful, I can't gaze up because of the dust, and I can't hear where the explosion is coming from since the wind is blowing into my ears," Leonor explained.
However, if you continue to fly in the same pattern, I will be able to recall your maneuver based only on my feelings.
Meanwhile, from Giovanni's perspective.
"What is she doing levitating in the same position, I have a number of angles to hit at her," Giovanni thinks as he recalls Leonor's previous statement, "you should never take a moment non unless you're preparing a counterattack."
I have to strike quickly before she found out my weakness.
Giovanni propelled himself to her, with the intention of just touching her.
Meanwhile, from Leonor's perspective.
She noticed a shift in the wind pattern since the predicted next wave of wind is weaker than the previous ones. As a result, she pinpoints the path of the current wave, which may be approaching or shifting patterns.
In any case, she utilizes her flight magic to soar up and avoid Giovanni's strike in midair. Giovanni was astounded that, despite his unexpected strike, she could foresee when he would strike.
The timing of her dodge is just enough for Giovanni to come up with an alternative approach by propelling him just enough to escape a deadly fall. Giovanni compressed and burst the wind at the impact area.
Luccione was astounded that his mother could simply compete with Giovanni's attacks as he was looking behind the window.
A powerful tornado suddenly descends from the sky, making Giovanni's escape difficult.
Giovanni is thinking, "Oh oh, my wind propellants are being sucked off by the tornado." This is Giovanni's vulnerability; if the subsequent bursting sphere is interrupted, he cannot shift course.
He is being dragged, and the only way to escape is to chant different magic. Giovanni is being pulled up on the upper end of the cyclone, where he encounters Leonor, just as he was about to chant.
"How's your journey going?" Leonor inquired.
"Oh sh*t," Giovanni said.
Leonor then takes Giovanni and tosses him into the tornado's path.
"Ahhhh! I give up!" exclaimed Giovanni as he continued spinning within the tornado.
Leonor calls it quits and the tornado dissipates. Giovanni roll down to the ground as he was completely exhausted.
"not bad"
"You could be the first person to genuinely deplete me," Giovanni replied.
Leonor went on to say, "I suppose the word is, I could just be the first one to beat you up horribly."
A housewife shatters Giovanni's pride. Giovanni highlights Leonor's ability to employ both flying and tornado magic at the same time.
That is supposed to be impossible unless you truly think about what you're saying and execute it flawlessly in a split second.
Leonor explained that what Giovanni said is correct, that employing flying magic as a 2-word paraphrased incantation every time you change direction is doable, but that adding a separate set of 5 incantations will severely limit your maneuverability with your other magic. That is, you cannot use another enchantment to fly in a different direction during your 5-chant incantation.
Giovanni had no idea Leonor didn't actually recite the flight magic; instead, it's inside her magic circle in the thigh. Luccione is aware of this and understands the importance of magic circles in launching several spells without injuring your head during incantation.
"I don't care anymore, I'm out of here," said Giovanni as he propelled himself back to Luccione's room.
"you have a prideful friend, you got there," Leonor said
"Yeah, I can't really blame him. he experience enough than just an ordinary chicken" Luccione explained
"Despite his attitude, Giovanni is actually caring and wants to be strong enough to protect those important to him"
Ehhh...
Leonor quickly murmurs something to Luccione.
"This is a secret, don't tell anyone"
Leonor leaned down and revealed her second magic circle, which was located between her boobs. it was actually the cyclone magic she said. This means, that she did not say a 5 incantation to summon a massive tornado.
Meanwhile, Luccione is perplexed by how revealing her mother is to him; he believes that the next time he will not be shocked to discover that his mother is concealing more magic circles on her private parts. Even so, it's a good strategy to conceal your capability.
"If you wish, Lucc, I can teach you how to create magic circles or even fight using incantation magic," she said.
Luccione stated that her mother and Giovanni's battle is already instructive. His mother is a beast when it comes to magic, so he will have to think about it carefully.
"All right, I'll wait for your response, Lucc."
Leonor forgot she was supposed to wash Luccione's clothing, but it's almost dark because of the quarrel. She is sorry to Luccione.
"There's no need to apologize, Mom; I'll wash it tomorrow," Luccione suggests.
She never stops apologizing. Luccione sighs... "When will this pampering end?" he's had enough of her over-parenting him.
.....
Meanwhile, on Thyborn.
At a warehouse in the middle of the woods, the people who committed heists on Lamborn went to their hideout.
"Boss, we got most of the magic circles of the police," said Gabriel
"I see, I am so proud of you, my apostle and believers." said Jesus. he also followed saying "by the way, stop calling me boss. My name is Jesus in this world"
"yes, bo-... I mean Jesus" said Gabriel
Jesus saw that one of Gabriel's believers is gone. "Hey, where is the other believer? I thought I sent you 5 believers," he inquired.
Gabriel describes a youngster they failed to take with them because the person in charge of the kid was shot by a katana, and how this blade had some type of magic circle imbued with it since it is an instantaneous kill.
"A sword capable of taking one's life sounds reasonable to me," Jesus continued, "but the fact that you mentioned there is a magic circle imbued with it is fascinating."
"I will form a combined force with your believers and Michael's believers, and your next commission will be to recover that katana and destroy the devil who wielded it," Jesus declared. He then said, "As the ancient testament states, an eye for an eye."
