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

"Now, let's dissolve. I want each of you to protect your city."

That's what Mr Cyrus said, and it was dissolved this day. After that, nothing special happened, but the meeting proceeded indifferently. The example of the red crystal was also on the agenda, but as it stands, it is important to be careful... so the story is closed. And I didn't say hello to the rest of the Premium Warlock, so I left the meeting room.

Well then, Yulia. I'll see you someday. Even so, the Premier Warlock will soon be able to meet you because of the city. "

"Yes, thank you very much, Ella."

Senpai smiles nicely. Treats me so gently as a rookie, I can't really get my head up.

Well, goodbye now. It's a shame... we'll see each other again someday. I'll play my part by then. [M]

"Ella, I've been waiting."

"Mother? Why are you here?

Senpai Eira seemed to have a family member waiting for her. Family, huh? It's an unfamiliar word to me. [M] It was only natural for me to be alone when I realized something. [M] And I was alone for two years at dusk. I came back and built a new connection, but I still didn't realize I was alone.

Sorry to bother you... let's go.

"Oh, you're Julia, right?

"Ah, yes... yes, but..."

That's what I thought, but he'll call me. It's bad to be evil here, and I'll say hello.

"I'm Ella's mother and I'm Lyla. Put down the stranger after that."

"Thank you for being polite. It's Julia."

"Fufu...."

"What's wrong?

"No, I haven't seen my daughter talking happily in a long time."

"Hey!? Were you watching!?

"Yeah, that's it. Julia, my daughter still has a lot of problems, but please get along with her. Roots are good."

"Of course! And, Ella, thank you very much!

"Oh my gosh... you really met a nice guy, Ella."

"Hmm... that's fine. It's my friendship, so leave me alone....."

My face turned a little red, maybe... it wasn't my fault. Senpai is also illuminated... but I was looking at the interaction with a smile.

And we broke up there.

◇

It's attached... I felt it the moment I left the castle. A clear line of hostility. But this is no different than an instinctively living animal. In dusk, there was the technique of hiding hostility and killing intentions to the brink and only stripping them out when they were killed. That means that even the less dangerous monsters were doing it.

So much hostility, so much emotion... and I lure you into the alley. There won't be so much noise here... I'm ready now.

"... Julia"

"... Dan. And Rebecca and Aria."

All three stare at me. [M] Dan's eyes are the sharpest of all. It's no wonder you're about to kill me in the next moment. Of course, I can't just get hit. In the worst case scenario, I will not hesitate to use force. The time has come to say goodbye. I've become a Premium Warlock... and I'm not afraid anymore. If you don't behave accordingly...

"Teme is the thirteenth superior anti-magician? What kind of joke is that?"

"I'm not kidding. Earlier, I officially became the 13th person to attend a meeting of Premium vs. Mages."

"... that doesn't matter. Temee, what did you use?

"... use?

"Don't be stupid!! I think he's using some kind of medicine!!!

"That's right! Otherwise, it's impossible!

"It's impossible for Julia to be a superior versus magician! You can't be ahead of us!!

Hidden cursing. Ah... I'm sure you won't admit it. I can't believe the man we've been torturing until now, the one we abandoned knowing he was going to die, thought he'd come back and become a superior versus magician... and I don't think he wants to admit it.

But the reality is different. I was banished into the world of dusk by them, but I survived. Then you acquire the strength to become a superior versus magician. This is nothing else, it's a fact.

Dan, Rebecca and Aria were talented and indeed excellent. Therefore, it is not allowed. So it was easy to see what they were going to do next.

"Juliaaaaaaaa!!

Dan pulls out the broadsword, and even strengthens his body and calls me. Rebecca and Aria are backing me up, putting up a wall of ice around me, and even keeping me from escaping.

Hostility from 3 people. You've fallen so far... then you won't hesitate anymore. I've endured it till now. I thought they'd find out again someday. But humans don't change that easily. I've grown stronger, but there's no big change in this personality. And so will Dan and the others for the rest of their lives. I look down on others and like them.

The insidious thoughts and actions are directed at me. You won't get lost anymore. That's right, that's enough. I've put up with it, too. There may come a day when we can understand each other. But we're a parallel line forever. I can't do it anymore.

I thought about various things because of the previous incident. But that's what they are after all. There is nothing to change the nature of the crowd. It was... the limit of patience. I've always wanted to be kind. I knew it was my parents' influence. There are good people in this world, and there are bad people. And in the world of dusk, I learned of the weak.

I don't want to get involved anymore, I want to forget about them. That's why I've been running away ever since I got back here. He ran, he ran, he ran. I grew stronger, but my mind remained weak.

But let's put an end to your indecisiveness. I can't be kind to everything. This ugly part is also part of the human race.

I missed it before, but not this time. It's... too late for them.

And... that time's anger is rising two at a time. Black emotions envelop me. [M] Yes, they deserve it. There's no more confusion, no more confusion.

When I pull the knife out of my pocket, I activate Invisible Blade, an invisible sword. Take Dan's sword from the front.

"Gu, guuuuu!! Juliaaaaa!!"

All three are hostile. But Dan's hostility is special. A mixture of jealousy, envy, hatred, and various emotions. All he wants to do is give in to me. Above all, that's what they were saying. Human society is also a weak predator. But as it stands, I'm a Premium vs. Mage, and he's a First Class vs. Mage. The strength looks close at first glance. But superior versus magician is the hope of mankind. It's also a symbol of humanity. It was obvious that the quality was different.

Even if it gets stronger, Dan's skill is clearly inferior to that of Shelley. He said that hard work is a waste of talent. Rebecca and Aria are with us. They were blessed with talent. So it was much stronger.

But competence is… talent, effort, environment. For the first time, the three were properly intertwined. Dan and the others were full of talent, but talent alone had its limits. That's the status quo. I kept looking down on people and drowning in talent... like this... I thought I'd throw up.

"... Dan, Rebecca, Aria, it's over now."

I swung the invisible sword Invisible Blade and flew Dan's broadsword. In addition, Rebecca and Aria's movements are sealed with the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" stretched from their fingertips.

Too weak to be clear. No matter how many bundles you get at this level, I can do it.

And when I kick Dan's pigeon tail, I put a butt mochi in front of my eyes.

"Ho ho... ho ho... teme... yulia!! Ah...? Eh...?

I wonder if you haven't noticed. I stabbed Dan in the left leg with an invisible sword, Invisible Blade. That said, I haven't done enough to penetrate it. There are no sequelae. I just stabbed him lightly.

"Wowahhhh!!!

"Dunn!!!?

"Are you okay!!? Julia, this is a crime!!

Which mouth... is clearly self-defense. The three of us wanted to stop by and attack. Well, I'm going to try not to overdefend myself... but I have to do something about it.

"Yulia, Temee... did you do it!!!? My leg! My legs!!

I'm sure it's the first time I've been upset to get hurt properly. I saw the sight with cold eyes. [M]

Nothing. I'm finished with this one.

After all, this is the end of human beings who have grown up, prided themselves, and looked down on others. And once again, I try to pierce Dan's leg with the invisible sword "Invisible Blade", but Dan's fear becomes unusual. And there's no magic coming from Rebecca and Aria. Something wrong...?

"Ah... ah... ahh... ah... ahh... ahh... ahh... ahh... ahh..."

"N-no-ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

A voice that doesn't sound like Dan's. And Aria's screams. I turned around thinking it was nothing. [M] And there...

……

There was a sign of Rebecca being preyed on by monsters. The giant spider at that time, Fusion Spider. It bound Rebecca with the thread and ate her. There's no prototype there anymore. But Rebecca is dead. The bright red blood dripping on the ground... tells the story eloquently...

Is this what the discomfort was like back then... but...

Since when... since when...

This is how... the worst hell in history opens its doors.
