Chapter 21 - Beast of the Isshiki Family

"Indra..." 

When they saw Masa's strong body bathed in electricity, everyone subconsciously muttered the name of the strongest warrior among the Devas in Hindu Mythology. 

At the same time, all the important members and researchers of the Isshiki Family watched the data that came from Masa's physical ability, which made all of them gasp. 

"This physical ability..." 

"No, no. His speed is more ridiculous!" 

"Isn't he the thunder itself?!" 

Crack! 

Tear! 

Watching Masa, who could punch through a wall made from metal, all of them felt their bodies were weak. 

If that punch was hit against the body of a human, what would happen? 

Frankly, there were many magic that reinforced physical ability, such as making one's body harder to protect oneself from a bullet or other firearms, but for a better effect, a magician usually wore armor all over their bodies. 

Or, they might create a barrier like the Magician of the Tens, a magician born from the 10th Research Institute, which focused on Wide-Area Magic that generated virtual structures in space as a defensive countermeasure to heavy firepower. 

There were other magics that increased attack power through a Weight-Type of Magic. 

Yet, there was only Masa, who could use electricity to strengthen his body to the superhuman level. 

At that moment, they felt like they had seen a manga character who had become stronger through the power of electricity. 

If Masa had to give a better example, at this moment, he would be able to recreate the famous Jutsu of Raikage in the world of Naruto. 

Along with this new magic and the "Lightning," which was the famous instant reaction magic of the Isshiki Family, there was no doubt that Masa's power would increase dramatically, or rather, he might have become the fastest and strongest magician in the world. 

Yet, compared to all of that, the speed that Masa gained from this new magic was crazy! 

While it was hard to say who was the fastest magician, according to certain data that the author had read from the novel, the famous Child Prodigy of the Chiba, Chiba Naotsugu, using a "Speed-Type of Magic," was capable of reaching speeds up to 120kph.

This was probably the limit and probably the fastest speed a magician could reach. 

Yet, Masa's speed was double at ease! 

"Masa, try to run as fast as possible!" 

"Okay, I will try." 

Everyone was curious at how fast Masa could be, and as expected, when they saw his real speed, all of them could only feel even weaker—

"Mach 3..." 

Which means three times the speed of sound! 

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

The powerful magic energy that came from his body somehow spread in every direction, causing those magicians to feel powerful magic was being cast in this country. 

"This direction is..." 

In Tokyo, Shiba Tatsuya stared at the direction of the west with a solemn expression.

"Onii-sama!" 

Miyuki Shiba also reacted the same way and looked in the direction of the west, as she felt an intense, prickly aura like electricity coming from the west of Japan. 

"This direction... Kanazawa?" 

Tatsuya thought for a moment about a magician family that had a high mastery over electricity-related magic. 

"Isshiki Family?" 

"Do you think that is the "Blue Beast" of the Isshiki Family?" 

"There is a high chance. That young man is a beast, after all." 

In a certain house hidden within Nagano, a beautiful, mature woman had a solemn expression as she looked in the direction of Kanazawa. Still, her expression became playful when she heard her butler's words. "Not a monster?" 

"There is a huge difference between a monster and a beast." 

"You are right." 

Yeah, the young man from the Isshiki Family might be amazing, but compared to the monster within their family, there was still a distance, yet there was no doubt they were cornered about this new magic that made their bodies feel prickly as if being electrocuted by electricity. 

Yet, even if the reaction of this magic was felt by many people in the country, no one within the Isshiki Family cared since Masa was strong, and even if this magic allowed him to become so fast, it wasn't a "Strategic Type of a Magic," a magic which might be comparable to the nuclear warhead, so there was no need for them to announce this magic. 

"Masa-niisama is amazing..." 

Hiromi's eyes were full of stars. 

Similarly, Airi reacted the same way; her eyes were full of stars, and she was watching the data that came from Masa's speed. 

Still, when Masa returned, his clothes had already burnt into ashes, and he was practically naked as his clothes were unable to handle the friction that came from his speed. 

Yet, while Masa didn't care about being seen naked as there was nothing embarrassing, and he was even proud of his magic, all of them couldn't remain the same, especially when there were still many women around! 

"Masa, put on your clothes!" 

However, there was no doubt that their eyes naturally drew toward the direction of his lower body, which made all of them gasp since, identical to his speed, his size was even more impressive! 

Still, Masa knew that due to this magic, his name would even become famous, and he might be targeted by another country or even others, but it didn't matter since what he gained wasn't the name of the destroyer but the fastest magician. 

"Can you use this magic?" 

"...sorry, we can't." 

While Masa had given them detailed information about this new magic, the members of the Isshiki Family couldn't use it, especially since the calculation needed to perform this magic was ridiculously high and, as he had said before, a body was a sensitive object, one mistake in their magic, would cause a heavy injury that might even cause them to lose their ability to perform magic or even death. 

Frankly, inwardly, they thought Masa was a Specialized Born Magician, a magician that could only use a certain magic, an existence that was looked down on instead of being looked up to. Yet, his mastery over all other types of magic was excellent and even over the top, which made him into the existence of a perfect magician. 

Yes, if Tatsuya was known as a failure, then Masa was known as perfect since he didn't have any weaknesses; whether it was his defense, attack, speed, reaction time, amount of Psion, or anything else, everything was at the top of the top. 

If Tatsuya was a Demon King in the Isekai World, then Masa would be the hero. 

This is probably how to compare the two. 

Still, besides showing his new magic, there was something that he was planning to do and wanted to show his father and uncle. 

"You really have grown..." 

Masa's father looked at his son with a sigh, wondering what kind of luck had made his son so talented. 

"By the way, have you named this magic?" 

"Do I have to?" 

"Of course!" 2x

A name was necessary for magic, and even if they didn't plan to announce the details of Masa's magic, it was still necessary to tell the effect of Masa's magic on the country and magic association. 

Masa knew that, so he thought for a moment and said, "Let's name it Mercury." 

"Mercury..." 2x

The two murmured this title and nodded, thinking that Masa used the name of a Roman God, the god of the speed of the Roman Myth, which suited quite well, and frankly, like their innate magic "Lightning," this name could also be used to deceive others. 

Still, his new magic wasn't the only thing that he wanted to show everyone. 

"Uncle, Father, there is something that I want to show the two of you." 

"What is it?" 2x

The two of them knew that Masa must have a new plan, and this plan, without a doubt, would benefit their family. 

Masa took out a document that he had made and his plan to make the Isshiki Family even stronger. 

Still, when the two saw the title of his plan, they both felt confused. 

"Isshiki Network?" 

Yes, this was his new plan, the plan to make his family become even stronger.
