A sword held by Mizue in his left hand, decorated like a flow of water.
When the emblem of the sword glows pale, the real water appears as it embodies.
And it shall be a multitude of galloping streams to produce cocoons, as the ashes that it afflicts. As it wrapped around the ashes, Mizue quietly closed her eyelids and placed her hand on the forehead of the ashes.
At the same time, Tenji lifted the dead Hua and the demon.
Tenji, who was a demon suddenly, returned to his usual gentle form, and the amazing Shura MP that covered his surroundings returned to nature.
I'll take care of the rest, Mizue-kun.
As he prayed, Tenji spoke to the river that fought in the sky.
† † †
A river rises above the sky.
He was trying to capture the ashes in the sky, as if he were in the main stream of water.
It's been about three minutes since such a quiet time lasted.
The river that was riding on the water slowly descended to the ground. Release your hand gently on your forehead and slowly turn your eyes toward Tenji.
There was a water river filled with a sense of accomplishment that had exhausted everything.
"Mission accomplished."
His pale expression was still like that of Mizue.
Even so, Tenji noticed that he was still biting something that seemed to be a little bit of a sense of accomplishment.
Physical combat would not have been that long.
Even so, my current abilities were draining my mind, and countless balls of sweat were rising up on my forehead.
That's right, Mizue-kun.
"Not as much as you."
While having such casual conversation, Tenji walks towards the ashes. I slowly peered into the face of the ashes lying on the ground.
As if it was a lie that scattered that murderous aura just now, I was quietly sleeping with pleasure. And--It looked very comfortable.
It felt like I was looking at the look of the old ashes.
”That's an amazing ability, you're directly interfering with your mind?”
Well, that's the way it is.
Don't you have much to teach me, or should I say Mizue Katsumasa as usual?
Because I don't usually have a lot of mouths, I didn't seem to be able to get to know them in depth. That said, Curious Tenge did not stop asking questions.
Can't you tell me?
…………
Mizue with a slightly troublesome expression.
However, it didn't seem like a tenge that would make my eyes shine like a child who had bought a toy for the first time.
The two of them sat down in the middle of the scabbard with their weapons on their hips, exhausted.
Then Mizue takes out the moisture bottle that she had on her waist and throws it to Tenji.
"Thank you."
"Ohh!"
"So... won't you tell me?"
Well, Tenjo would be great.
Thank you
After completing the rehydration, Tenji returned the bottle to the river.
When the bottle is lightly hydrated, the mouth finally opens.
"To be precise, it's not a trap."
"That's right. It doesn't feel like a physical arrest."
While saying that, Tenji immediately saw the face of the ash that fell asleep there.
Generally speaking, capture technique refers to physical things such as tying and enclosing. However, there is no such thing as physically trapping the ashes nowadays, and it just looks like they are fast asleep.
"I'm just saying that to get my enemies to think that way." I've been told by the Kujo Group Leader that it's not necessary to match the actual ability to use and the name of the ability to speak in interpersonal combat. "
I used to be taught by my master, too.
"It's close to a state where I'm temporarily dreaming. It will be important to think of this as a form of capture as part of the process of success."
Huh?
"The effect of ability is to make your current appearance in the dream look like a mirror, and it is a technique to enlighten the subject's heart. The original way to use it is to keep calm on the battlefield."
Huh? You mean you can use it against your enemies?
"There's a limit, though. However, it is effective against such unprotected enemies. I can't tolerate being objective because I can't recognize myself now. And if you can't tolerate an objective self, you won't be free from your ability forever. Therefore, it is a technique that also functions as a seizure technique. The leader of the regiment said this was a 15% chance of success."
"... there's no mercy for the newcomer."
"However, as a result of various trials and errors, the success rate will be greatly increased if the enemy is made to hear the words of capture." But with such a rampant enemy, your chances of success are even higher. The leader eventually said "35% success rate of the shit ability". "
"The fucking ability assessment doesn't change... but isn't that too strong?" You mean forcing your enemies to fall from their dreams? "
“That's why I told you there were limits. Besides, the success rate is very low, and there is a fair amount of recoil when used against the enemy. Now I'm dying of fatigue and nausea. And... I don't want to be told by you, you monster."
"No, no, not really."
"Deny it."
"It's a compliment."
Mizue giggles unexpectedly at Tenji's as stubbornness as ever in answering a joke.
Perhaps such a pleasant time, they suddenly looked up at the night sky.
That's exactly when it happened.
cutlets, cutlets and croissants.
The footsteps of an explorer jumped into two ears.
"Mizue-kun, Tenji-kun. It's over, isn't it?
What appeared there was Tachibana Kaoru walking with her spear on her shoulder.
Looking at the time when the battle was over, I wonder if Kara was going to join the two of them. Even if Jiao appeared in the battlefield, it would only be a matter of arms and legs.
Because she knew that, she used her strength to support them from afar.
I kind of remember the entrance exam.
I see.
Katsuyoshi Mizue is full of standing flowers, tenge, and mud that has no scratches, and his clothes are worn out. Tachibana thought it was like when she felt dead at the entrance exam.
Fuuuu sat down beside them, exhaling a tired sigh.
Looking at it, Tenji turns to Sugargrass.
"Thanks Tachibana-san, Sugargrass. I'll be fine when I get home."
"Thank you for your happiness, my beloved king."
As it turned into smoke, the sacrificial figure disappeared from the scene.
After seeing the sight for a long time, the two gazes headed towards Tenge.
"... what?"
Looking bad, Tenji can swim his eyes.
By the way, they knew that Tenji would summon the demon, but Sugaka would be the first to see it, and they didn't know that they could have a fluent conversation.
"... well, it's fine now. But onee-san wants to know."
"Yeah, I agree."
"Um...... if you feel like it. Tachibana-san, what's that?! I was surprised! Suddenly my ears got better and I heard the sound of the future!?"
To change the course of the conversation, Tenge openly changed the subject. Tachibana laughed like an elder sister at the funny change of direction.
"Oh, speaking of which. That's it."
As I remembered, Mizue also tweeted such words.
Did you want to brag to them? Nishi smiled and said Tachibana.
"You two used to tell me that I actually had a unique ability of early Awakening, didn't you?" I didn't use it at all in the past. "
Yeah.
"I've heard of it."
"That's what awakened me. Then I realized that I could hear the sounds of the future a little while ago... but the sounds I heard from Tenji and Mizue were also shared with me. I thought maybe if I tried and made a mistake to share the sound I was hearing with them, I could do it somehow."
What is that, a second awakening!?
Yes! That's it!
"No, you can't do it somehow, can you?"
I wonder if you're not convinced by what the instincts say, Mizue was dumbfounded.
If Tachibana is an instinctive genius, Mizue is a genius who thinks and strives. Tenge laughed funny, knowing that their thoughts rarely overlapped. I think it's kind of nostalgic.
The three worn-out men took a short rest. It was about five minutes after that.
The sound of multiple Explorers' footsteps reaches the three ears.
We finally have our backup!
“Yeah, but it's too late.
"Don't say that, Mizue-kun." Pros are probably slowing us down, too. "
More than a dozen professional explorers come along while we have such casual conversations.
It turned out that all the Explorers who appeared were so worn out that they could be described as full-bodied, and there were quite a few deadly battles elsewhere.
However, even though it was in such a state, I was doing my best to rescue the students.
Tenji and Tachibana were moved by such a devotional figure.
Kids yearn for professionals because they don't spare no effort. I remembered my childhood feelings again.
"Were you all right!?" Tenjo, Mizue, Tachibana! ”
It was Lotus Mackerel who rushed to find the three of them. He was also a professional explorer who ran this final qualification, and he was the brother of the ashes breeder that they had been fighting for.
“He's not dead!”
I'm fine, too.
Likewise.
Professionals who are relieved that the three of them are safe.
However, we will soon be able to see the battle marks around us and see what happened here.
"Who are you fighting?"
Lotus was speechless there.
He was the brother who was supposed to be dead.
"...... Grey?"
