A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Hey, Julia. Did you really survive two years? At dusk."

"Yeah... I doubt Shelley, but it's true."

"Sherry is fine. So... I think you're just a delusional person who came out at dusk and hit you in the head. From the behavior of the stand-up, the expression, everything, does not tell the story of strength. I know the Premium Warlock at a glance. But you don't have it. I... believe in my own eyes. Besides, I have more than 50 hours of dusk combat time.

Before the match. Me and Shelley facing each other... No, Shelley. Already at night, there aren't many people in the practice area. There are the dean and a few others. I said that I was confidential... so I think I'm quite a person, but I feel a little disgusted when I'm seen... I can understand that I'm just a delusional person.

In terms of money, too, I thought I needed to show my strength here in many ways.

"Shelley, I've lived to die for the last two years. Every day I thought I'd die tomorrow. But I came back alive, alive... alive. I don't doubt your eyes, but I win this time."

Hmm. I'll tell you what.

I'm not proud of that. It is a simple fact. I can't lose. I don't feel like losing, and I can't lose.

Is that from pride? Or in monetary terms?

Ask yourself, but there is no answer. And I face her. [M]

"Now... let's start the game!

The dean seemed to judge us this time, and we started fighting on her signal. [M]

……

At that moment, I stuck my knife at a distance. [M] I didn't have to use the Invisible Blade, an invisible sword, just a normal attack and I beat her. Probably never thought I'd move so fast. [M]

"Hey, winner... Julia..."

"Eh... hah...?

She was stunned. What the hell is this? She has a face like that. But I don't know if I gradually regained my calm, but I suddenly raise my voice.

"Yep, one more time!!

"Er... are you fighting again?

That's what I asked the dean.

"... if you agree."

"I understand."

After that, I kept fighting her many times. But I never lost.

"... I got it!!

"... * giggle *!

Last fight. She has already had nine consecutive defeats, and this is the last game she started. As you get used to it, she was able to handle my knife. But still... I didn't think the invisible sword Invisible Blade needed to be used to attack. That invisible blade is senseless. If you use it, it will kill you worse than the game ends there.

"... I got it!!

She's going after my slight gap... but it's still too late. However, it was a hassle to avoid, so I passed it on with the invisible sword "Invisible Blade", which was activated from my left hand, and my right knife touched her slightly first.

"Ha... ah... eh...!!?

"... winner, Julia"

The 10th call is told.

She is in a hurry. That will be the case. I was suddenly pardoned by a sword in a empty space. Here is the truth.

My invisible sword Invisible Blade needs a starting point. In other words, they cannot produce clear swords or swords in empty spaces. We always need a pattern. You can just build walls, but it's tough to reproduce elaborate things like swords and swords in Invisible. That's why it started.

I don't care where it starts. I can activate the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" if it is a rod-shaped one. A wooden stick, a pencil, a comb, and... even my hands, fingers, and feet can be my sword.

"I've lost... I've lost..."

Shelley finally admits defeat. But... I thought that the only thing I hated about losing was being amazing. The spirit of losing or losing. That's something I don't have. [M] Honestly, it deserves praise.

I know there is an overwhelming difference in strength, but I am willing to steal something... and grow.

I thought it was pure envy. I didn't have such a thing and I still don't have it.

"Julia... you're really strong."

That's what Shelley asks me to shake hands with. Of course, I'll take it.

"Well, this is the only thing that matters."

"Humble. I'm really proud of being that strong. I couldn't reach my feet...."

"But Shelley was also strong. I think the last one was a good line."

"... that's a nice compliment. I just felt my immaturity. Let's start again from scratch...."

"... Shelly is strong."

"What, disgusting?

No, in a spiritual sense.

"Well, nobody can beat this loathsome part."

"Hahaha... I certainly hate losing every game I've played 10 times."

Therefore, I decided to enter this college as an extra student at the same time as I beat Shelley.

Whatever it is, I'm glad the money is free.

"Well, Julia. I'll register you as a first-class magician..."

Huh?

"It would be strange not to be a first-class versus magician when you beat a first-class versus magician. There are various conditions for becoming a Premium vs. Mage, but this time I will make it a Premium vs. Mage at my discretion. Can I just get an autograph?

"... yes."

A boy who had been wandering for two years at dusk returned and defeated the strongest Shelley at the Seventh Frontier City Academy, becoming a first-class anti-magician. The news will spread throughout the academy the next day... but I had no reason to know that.
