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

To Her Majesty the Queen. And Roy and I were confronted by other Premium Warlock officers.

……

……

It was extremely dangerous, such as a serious battle on the spot. But I did it because I was confident.

No, technically, I'm not sure. I had already understood that this was a solid fact before I fought.

"Shelly... don't regret it.

……

I will not answer the question. My consciousness is already deep, deep, and sinking into the deep sea.

I can see that Roy's eyes are full of hate. Of course there will be something for me, but I knew it. Roy also has a strong will to succeed the teacher.

I don't mind that. This is proof that the teacher has been loved by many people and has been spared but has passed away.

But as a successor to the teacher, I can't just give up that position.

1st in the Premium vs. Wizard Series. I will continue to protect the place where the teacher arrived. I will accomplish what the teacher has done.

That's what I swore in front of my dying teacher, my promise.

"Now... let's get started"

At the same time as His Majesty's words were delivered, we were beginning to move. No, the words may not be strictly correct. Mr. Roy hasn't been able to move a step away from the scene. He began to hold his sword in his hand and was about to run away from the scene.

But he won't be able to move any further.

Because it had already arrived at Roy's neck.

"... is it okay if I win?

"... ah, ahh..."

I mistakenly applied a little force and only one piece of thin skin got a scratch on Roy's neck.

Try to pay off the slight drop of blood and deliver the knife.

I stared at Roy, who was still stunned.

"Sherry... you..."

"I will succeed the teacher. But it is not a sword princess, but a demon who lives in the path of the sword. As a swordsman, I will continue to progress."

"I see... no, I see..."

After that, Mr. Roy never opened his mouth.

This created a new sequence.

I became the official successor to my teacher, both worthy and worthy. But there is no sense of accomplishment, and there is no sense of exhilaration. Is there anyone who finds joy in the obvious? No, I don't think so. It was definite for me to be number one in the Premium vs. Mage series.

Everything to get to that place.

Kill the teacher, kill the Magus.

I'll do whatever it takes to get there.

Even if the path of Shura is waiting ahead.

For my teacher, and for Lianne, I keep going.

◇

"Shelly, can I have a minute?

"Julia... I don't mind."

That's how Yulia talks the moment it dissolves.

"Why don't we go to the city?

"... okay."

We walk side by side. How did Julia see the battle between me and Roy? I was a little distracted by that, but the subject arrived at the coffee shop and shook it from him when the drink I ordered came.

"In the meantime, congratulations on ranking first in the Premium vs. Mage series."

"Thank you."

Kang, hit each other with a cup.

I'm sure some people don't think I'd be in the top of the list. I know that. A 15-year-old girl. There is no particular track record of that. Indeed, I have blood as a Demon Clan, and I am aware that my combat skills have reached the level of Premium vs. Mage. Still, I have nothing to pile up like a teacher...

An empty, empty self. A pathetic girl just lying.

Even if they say so, I don't have enough ingredients with me to say back.

But to be real, to be a teacher, I didn't mind being empty now. No matter what they say, there is only one place I want to reach.

"It's getting stronger, Shelly. I've seen it from a distance... but the magic eye has appeared."

"... you know what I mean?

"The physical speed is noticeable in that battle, but it won't work unless you have a complete picture of the opponent's movements. That's Roy. Especially if you're Roy, one of the best pairs of magicians. Pure physical skills alone are tough enough to seal him up. That's why I thought. Shelley may have a Future Eye Prediction. And I can see a faint sign of that in Twilight Site."

"... big win. It's already a boulder, Yulia."

I raised my hand to exaggerate and took a wild pose.

If you knew that with that instant offensive defense, take off your hat honestly.

As Julia said, I have magic eyes.

That ability is the vision of the future. Literally, I see the future. That said, it's still three seconds away. But you might think it's only three seconds, but it's just three seconds. Especially for an anti-magician who fights in a world of zero commas, three seconds is much longer. I can fight with that much advantage.

This unique ability, Extra, was something I wore when I woke up the blood of the demons.

When I got up in the morning, I felt uncomfortable with what I was looking at. It's perceived in the brain to be happening at this moment, but it hasn't actually happened yet. After experiencing such a strange phenomenon, I realized that this was the vision of the future.

Then I couldn't put it under complete control yet. The Magus tried to activate it when he struck Alfred, but he still couldn't handle it. But after my teacher died, I felt this ability get used to my body.

That's why I was so keen on Roy. He didn't know yet. I have the Magic Eye of the Future Vision, the Future Eye "Prediction".

It was kind of an ambush, but I did win.

It is a great confidence for me now.

"Sherry, you're certainly getting stronger. Few human beings can overwhelm that Roy. But I can only see a little bit of Shelley in danger...."

"Watch out? Me?

"Yeah, that's why I wanted to talk to you."

"What exactly is at stake?

"I don't mind Belle's revenge. But it seems like you're losing yourself."

"... do I lose myself?

"It's like that time... I don't know."

"Ahh... that's right. If they say so... maybe so."

It falls into my heart. Indeed, I had lost sight of myself at that time. He was under the control of all emotions and only moved his body with the consciousness of killing. But winning won't come true. We need the will to kill. But it's just a subconscious imprint.

It is not thought that needs to be manifested. What matters is the technology to accomplish the killing.

"But I... I believe that Shelley can do it."

"I wonder if I can..."

Just a little. I get a little weak. I think that I will take over the teacher's position and follow her footsteps in earnest.

A magician named Bertina Wright was really too great.

I can never reach my feet right now.

That's why my will wobbles. It's like I'm dancing on an unstable scaffold right now. Stick to it so it never falls off, but keep walking because you still have to move on.

You would never say such a thing in front of others. But in front of Julia, it is because of him who has such a close feeling that we have been together for a long time, that he will reveal his anxiety.

"Absolutely. I think you're taking over all of Mr. Bell's business. No, I'm sure Shelley can outrun Mr. Bell. I'm sure of it."

"... when you say that, you have to be."

"Yeah, I'm sure you can."

Gently touches the right eye patch.

As I carve this wound into my heart, I chase after my teacher.
