50 – Mine, Mephisto (1)

After Reina goes down to the gymnasium.

“Elain. Can you use magic to manipulate objects?”

“control… Are you talking?”

“yes. Or are you holding on for a while? Something like telekinesis.”

“If it’s small… Maybe, I think I can.”

“What about the big object?”

“Now, I don’t know… .”

I’ve told Reina, but I’m trying to be prepared just in case.

This is because it was not certain that the central part would collapse unconditionally.

And due to the nature of Reina, who is in the rear, there are times when she has to move.

Then, even if you don’t intend to, you might pass through the middle.

The speed at which the debris falls and the speed at which I run to the gymnasium should be roughly the same, but that shouldn’t be the case.

But if we could stop the wreckage even for a moment, we might have time to save the students below.

“Even for a little while is fine. Would that be possible?”

At my question, Elaine thought for a moment as she repeatedly opened and closed her hands.

Then he nodded his head and showed an affirmation.

“I will, I will try. Is it important to the Count?”

“It matters to all of us.”

“Oops. ugh… .”

He smiled with satisfaction and patted Elaine’s head lightly.

She can do it.

Because she is none other than a saint.

‘not now but.’

shhh!

At that time, a frosty wind began to blow in the gymnasium.

It was an ice storm, one of Reina’s magics.

Reina, who is proficient in ice magic, plays a large role in the protagonist’s party, which lacks dealers in the beginning.

Her greatest strength is that she can use this type of magic right from the start.

Rather than magic, her magic will look more menacing to students who are just starting to take their toes.

In the first place, there is no one who can handle magic as well as she does at this point.

In reality, it’s a more savage magic.

It was so powerful that if you were near it, your flesh would be ripped apart by the ice.

As I was idly watching Reina’s magic, I heard Elaine’s exclamation from the side.

“Lee, Reina-san… Great.”

“Not great.”

“I also have such magic… Can I write it?”

“If you have your talent, you can use it. Reina wouldn’t have been like that since she was born.”

It is a talent that is not typical of a student.

That’s why he’s risen to the ranks of heroes.

It will probably be more so by the time you graduate from the academy.

That doesn’t mean she’s the only hero. Like Siegfried and the others, they will grow to the point where they can’t be compared to now.

Elaine, of course.

It was then.

‘What is that?’

An abnormality began to occur on the ceiling of the gymnasium, which I had been staring at throughout the evaluation.

The flow of mana began to gather, and it formed a point.

The black dot wriggled and gradually increased in size before turning into a circular magic circle.

Raina’s magic has already been cast.

The opponent is an ordinary student who cannot use magic.

At this point, there is no way Reina will be casting at the same time.

Undoubtedly.

That must be Mephisto’s magic.

“Elain. Can you use the magic I just said?”

“Yes?”

“I asked if I could use it right now.”

“Ji, you mean now? But the evaluation—”

“I have to write now. Elaine. over there.”

The black magic circle pointed to the central part of the ceiling that slowly began to rotate and shouted.

“The magic circle… ?”

“Let me take the responsibility. Come on, get ready.”

Elaine, too, did not ask me if she had intuition that the magic circle was not Reina’s, and began to activate mana with her hands together.

I hurriedly turned my gaze to Reina.

She reaped the ice storm and headed towards Bella and Siegfried in the center.

Jump-

Then an ominous sound was heard.

I stood up and approached the railing on the second floor.

The ceiling engraved with the black magic circle was cracking.

“The winners are Raina Eisten and Siegfried Fair.”

Bella’s voice is heard. By the time everyone’s eyes turned to the bottom of the gymnasium.

The rotating black magic circle stopped moving.

I immediately called out to Elaine.

“Elaine now!”

“—ehwaz”

With a crackling sound, countless cracks formed in the ceiling and debris began to fall.

I gave Elaine a signal and immediately jumped off the railing and flew into the center of the gymnasium.

‘Don’t be in the center!’

Bella and Siegfried, who were already aware of this, were not aware of the change, perhaps because Reina, who was heading towards the center alone, had used magic a while ago.

Bella would be able to use her magic to protect her, but without realizing it, my body moved first.

It’s because I’m going to have a good time with myself rather than looking at it.

Kwajik!

I came down to the gymnasium in an instant, wrapped mana around my legs, and stepped toward Reina.

With a bang, the floor sank slightly, and I felt my body bounce off at high speed.

The wreckage of the ceiling, which began to fall with a roar, was already high enough for all to see.

It seems that Elaine’s magic worked properly.

As I approached Reina’s nose, I could feel something strange.

‘What, why do you keep falling apart?’

Debris that should have been blocked by Bella’s magic by now continued to fall.

I immediately looked at Bella, but she just looked at me with her usual expression.

‘That bitch is real.’

“Raina!”

It was an instinctive action.

“Ugh!”

I grabbed Reina as she walked and pulled me into my arms, sending mana from her whole body into her right arm.

Then he crouched down and wrapped his arms around Reina to protect her head.

Moments later, I felt a throbbing sensation in my right arm accompanied by a thud.

I thought about one arm would go out, but it was less painful than I thought.

While supporting the wreckage, I slowly looked around and met Bella’s eyes.

―I lost a little weight.

It is also Bella’s work.

If that’s the case, can you help me out perfectly?

At the same time, the students around them are well protected.

“… eww.”

After a while, Reina wriggled in her arms.

The amount of mana was still incomplete, so he seemed to faint momentarily.

I said as I hugged Reina who was looking around.

“Don’t be in the center.”

*

“… Lian.”

It was Reina’s words that came out as soon as our eyes met.

Come to think of it, isn’t this the first time your name has been called?

“Yes.”

He frowned as if he realized that too.

Is it something you hate to be called by your name once?

“It seems to consume a lot of mana. Because I even fainted.”

“I just felt dizzy. Why are you here?”

“Who doesn’t look up?”

I shrug my shoulders and chin at the massive rubble behind me,

As if realizing it now, Reina softened her momentum.

“… ah.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

Bella would have saved it, but from her point of view, I saved her life, so she has nothing to say.

I demanded compensation from her with a confident expression.

As expected, Rayna started stuttering and trying to get away from me.

“What, what is it?”

“Shouldn’t I at least say thank you?”

I applied strength to my left hand holding Reina and subdued her as she struggled.

Even if I stayed still, Bella would have protected me, but from Reina’s point of view, since I’m in the position of blocking the huge wreckage, I can ask for this much.

Absolutely not because I wanted to see Reina’s embarrassed face. It’s not that kind of perversion.

Reina avoided my gaze and began to struggle even louder.

No, just say thank you.

“Hey, put this down.”

“Listen and let go.”

“I never asked for help. And my magic is enough—”

“You didn’t notice until I came, did you?”

“… .”

As if stabbed to the point, for a moment Reina stopped moving and looked at me.

Biting her lips softly, she weeps at me as if she is indignant.

No matter how humiliating it is, both cheeks are reminded of red.

From her point of view, she was saved by her ex-fiancé, who was a bully, so it makes sense.

Reina, who looked around, closed her eyes tightly and slowly opened her mouth.

“go… thanks.”

“yes.”

Reina hurriedly escaped from me when I let go of the body I was holding tightly. It was so embarrassing that even her ears were stained red.

Certainly, it’s rare to see Rayna apologize.

this is a nice sight

There must have been a lot of work to blow the body.

As soon as Reina left, I cleared the rubble and stood up.

“Student Lian.”

The main character with a cool voice that is cold but does not feel emotions.

“You should have been able to stop the wreckage.”

I looked at Bella, who approached me, and scolded me.

“There is no room left.”

“You have a calm expression for someone who can’t afford it.”

“Student Lian tends to judge people only on the outside. And didn’t I lighten some of the weight?”

“her.”

Rather, I was at a loss for words when I saw Bella coming out of the red box.

As she said, if she hadn’t taken some of the weight off, my arm would have been shattered by now.

no that’s it

“What was your intention?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Bella stares at her and replies.

There is no change in expression, so I get more pissed off.

I felt it the other day, but it’s an opponent I can’t communicate with at all.

I sighed and approached Reina.

It was because if I kept asking, I would be the only one who would be stressed.

“Altein-kun. Are your arms okay?”

“yes. Thanks to our great instructor.”

“… .”

“Anyway, I was really surprised. Suddenly the ceiling collapsed.”

Siegfried looked around and murmured.

Numerous wreckage fell in torrents, and the gymnasium was still thick with smoke and dust.

‘It’s quiet.’

So far, no abnormalities have appeared.

It may seem like a simple accident at the present time, but I know.

That this is proof that Mephisto has appeared.

I walked past Siegfried who was chattering on the side and approached Reina.

“Raina. Is there any magic that makes you blind?”

“Suddenly, something… .”

As the smoke gradually disappeared, the remains that surrounded it began to be revealed one by one, and at the same time, the human figures hidden in the smoke gradually began to be seen.

“… Person?”

“hey! it’s okay? It’s dangerous there, so come here!”

I said, grabbing Siegfried’s shoulder as he was about to jump out.

“Take out your sword, Siegfried.”

“what?”

“Raina, stay behind me.”

Ignoring Reina, who was staring at me with a suspicious face, I took out the attitude from my belt.

It is a chewy appearance.
