Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

It feels as if time has stopped.

No, that's just a metaphorical expression. Because that butterfly was flickering between us. Illuminated by the light at dusk, the bright red butterfly darkens its color even more.

What the hell is this? What's going on?

I didn't think this was the butterfly that lives in this forest. That would also be evident from the fact that Ray is still. Besides, he still identifies my movements... it felt like that.

Then this is a chance!!

But I wasn't the only one who thought so. Ray's right hand approaches my chest again. With this sense of distance, this speed. I don't know about that butterfly, but Ray's actions were unmistakable. As it is... it will be taken away. The two remaining roses will be in his hands.

As it is now...... I can't make it.

Neither the body technique Ray taught me, nor the sorcery, will make it.

"... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

My actions at that time were not conscious.

I just didn't want to lose because I... I was biting Ray's right hand. The only action I needed to take was to manage to... prolong my time. So now my unconsciousness has made the decision that this is the only way to do it.

"Guh......!!

That's right, Ray leaks his voice. Did you not anticipate this on the boulder, Ray's reaction will be delayed? Of course I can't let go of this right hand that bit me either. And I have to cover my left hand, which is coming up next.

"Mmmmmmmm!!!

I was selfless obsessed.

And that butterfly flickers between me and Ray again.

─ ─ I'm sure this...

And the next moment, the butterfly blew up.

I figured that out somehow, so I try to shelter my body and blow it back. I manage to take the passive, and roll away with the gobble as it is.

The ray of boulders on the other side didn't make it, either, or it blows backwards. But it's fast to get passive on boulders. Those eyes cross each other without worrying about burning bodies or anything else.

There were no more of those butterflies. What the hell was that?

But I don't care about that. Time, hurry, hurry, hurry!

The characteristic smell of the protein burning irritates the nasal cavity. Probably part of my hair burned. But I don't care about that. Now I just couldn't lose sight of Ray.

So focused......

Dokun, and my heart bounces.

What is that? Gradually my body is dominated by heat.

Hot. Just, just hot.

Feels like burning your body from the inside out.

But why not? There was no pain.

And the next moment, tons of bright red butterflies appear. It's flying around me. Fluffy, flickering and swaying.

Did I create this?

But what the hell is this... what is it?

I was totally in love then. Not Ray who misses that, of course. He comes running through the earth as he is, flashing.

Oh. Right.

Did I lose after all?

But there was no wonder and no regrets. I did everything I could. I challenged myself with everything I could have right now. I don't want to give up. I definitely don't want to lose. Even with that in mind, reality is heartless. No matter how strong your thoughts are, there are things that don't come true.

And that sword he waved, the moment he tried to reach my rose... it happened.

"Huh..."

Yes. That's an impossible phenomenon. An incomprehensible phenomenon. But that's happening right in front of me.

The rose in my chest was not scattered yet. Just a bright red butterfly that kept overflowing from my body prevented it. Hundreds of butterflies come together and take that sword trident.

Two, my nose bleeds. But without wiping that off, I just lose consciousness. Feels like sinking into the bottom of the deep sea. Deep, deep, this consciousness sinks.

My world will be ruled by darkness. But I understood intuitively that it wasn't a bad thing. I knew I should have been a part of this.

"Ah..."

And I suddenly understood that I was one scale of my abilities. From there on out came time for him and each other, no I was overwhelmed.

Just the two of us dancing.

In this forest, dressed in this dusk light, we continued to fight. Until earlier, I was hoping it would be over soon. But I didn't want it to end now.

It's him and me in this world right now. Just the two of us were dancing in the world. I kept dancing. It's like the only people in this world, me and Ray, keep fighting each other as if they were going to perform each other.

Oh. Well, is that what happened?

Enlightenment. And I understood where I should go. Right. The place Ray was showing us was right there.

And the time, which was also thought to last forever, comes to an end.

"... Amelia. Congratulations, it's time."

"Huh...?

That being said, I noticed that there was a mechanical sound called pipipipipipi.

When...? I didn't realize Ray didn't tell me. Not so long ago, I was immersed in the last offense.

"Oh... are you done?

"... ah. End of story. And two roses left in your chest. That's the achievement."

If you look closely, my tooth mould remains firmly in Ray's hand, from which drips potato, potato potato potato and blood. dripping to the ground. Seeing that, I understood again what I was doing.

Right. Was I the last one biting Ray? And on each other's burnt clothes, the hair is also slightly burnt. Perhaps this face has become terrible, too. If you look at Ray, you'll see. We didn't defend ourselves from the explosion.

I've done a tremendous thing...

"Ah... the... um, obsessed... oh, sorry..."

"No, I don't mind. Mutual. And that butterfly..."

"Ah... yeah... but hey... with that unconscious behavior..."

That butterfly...... his voice was barely audible. I don't care about that right now, so I'll continue the conversation further.

"... I was acting with the intention of breaking Amelia's heart. Instead of taking large quantities of roses from the beginning, I twitched to hunt them down and brought them to the last fight. Having seen Amelia so far, I was setting up a battle that I could win for sure. As far as I'm concerned, I thought I could settle around seventeen... but it's a complete defeat. I tried everything I could right now. But it was Amelia who won. You."

"Ah... uh... well..."

I don't have a good voice.

And you're horrified, you lose your hips.

How could I have worked so hard when I thought about it?

There were times when my heart was about to break. Over and over again, I almost broke it. But I don't really know that I let myself stand each time.

But I don't want Ray to abandon me. It wasn't a backward feeling that I didn't want to be disappointed.

I was just facing this battle with all my might.

Even though I was about to lose to myself, even though I was about to frustrate myself, I... I came this far. I didn't like it anymore. What keeps you disappointed in yourself.

I've had all sorts of grids up to here, so I want to try and get to the end of it. I started to think so, and at the end of the day I was already... mean.

I've come this far, so I'll clear you of anything. The time I spent with Ray was never wasted. Sometimes when I escaped, when I did it reluctantly, I shouted pitifully.

But those days were his real days with me.

I wanted to prove it.

It's not just for me. Even for Ray, who did all he could for me, I... wanted to complete this completion exam.

Never that feels backwards. I don't want Ray to abandon me.

He wants to reward Ray for his efforts, and he wants to change himself again... because that's what he's been hoping for. I'm sure I couldn't have gotten this far without Ray.

On the surface, it was easy on me. But I met Ray, and he said he could be as strong as him, not as Ray himself.

As Amelia, she said she was going to get to the place.

The end of that wish was now.

Looking back and thinking, I had come this far. I had come all the way here. It was a short period.

But for me, it was one of the most intense days of my life compared to the empty time I've had. The days I spent with him... for me, they were real.

I... could I have done that?

"Now, Amelia, train soldiers. At the end of the day."

"... get lost, Ranger!

That's what they say and I manage to get up with that word I don't know how many times already. In doing so, Ray gave me a hand. Hold that thick hand of his, I found out.

Really... Really, I did it. There's been a lot going on. All sorts of really mixed feelings, grinding and about to get messed up, but I just kept running for the light.

I didn't accomplish anything great. Just one stupid girl, got something. Nothing, nothing special for this vast world.

But there was a definite fulfillment in me right now.

This battle for me, the effort so far, is now. Just now. It's become something special.

The process did not determine the outcome. The result transformed my process into something brightly colored.

The days spent by the two of us change vividly.

I immerse myself in such a strange sensation.

Oh... I wonder if I can get there.

"Amelia, train the soldiers! It's Aynsworth-style boot camp complete!

"Ranger!"

"And this is the Ranger seal. Of course it's not a regular one, so it's my handmade one."

"Thank you!!

And I get that Ranger stamp.

Rose-inspired, bright red badge. Some things are a little distorted "snoring," and I found that Ray thought about it and made it for me. That's what I thought, being a really sweet person everywhere.

When I receive it, I put it on my chest.

Ray stares at me like that and laughs furiously. That face wasn't the cold look I had earlier when I was fighting. As usual, it was Ray's face with warmth.

And this is what he says in a gentle voice.

"Congratulations, Amelia"

"Yeah...... yeah......"

"Good luck with that."

"Yeah......"

Polo, polo and tears overflow.

"There would have been a lot of hard stuff"

"Yeah... it was hard... it was hard..."

And decimate.

I was totally in tears. Plus, there's a lot of runny nose coming out. It was a mess. My face has been painted with tears and runny nose. To burnt clothes, hair. On a muddy face, it mixes with tears and snot.

Pity. Ah... even if it's really pathetic.

But as much as I cared about that, I wasn't cool right now.

I'm just glad. There was a definite sense of accomplishment there.

I wonder what it feels like to have this heart filled. Was I able to reach the me I sought?

"Let's say it again. Congratulations, Amelia. I want you to come to the Magics Chevalier, a magic sword tournament. It's okay. I don't want to be a student who's going through so much harsh training. Confident."

"Yeah...... yeah......"

I can't see the front well anymore with tears. But Ray tells me this with the kindest look he's ever seen.

"... Amelia. You are stronger than you think. [M] I always believed. I was hoping. And Amelia got over this training. So more, you can be proud of yourself. You can affirm... I think. The days you've been through have been real..."

With that said, Ray tries to wrap my hands around me and squeezes me. Feeling its definite warmth, I couldn't stand it anymore...

"Yeah...... yeah......! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Me, I did it. Whoa, whoa, whoa! I did my best. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Oh... well done, too. Amelia is amazing...... honestly a hat off. So you can cry today. I'll take everything..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I hugged Ray and just cried without worrying about the outside as it was.

Tears, runny noses, and a pitiful voice. But Ray envelops me like that gently.

It was the first time in my life. I've never even cried before. I was just unconscious, I couldn't help myself.

But me too, maybe just a little... maybe I started moving on.

I got over this short and long training.

There were days when I wanted to give up and days when I wanted to throw everything out. Though I kept going backwards...... but now I was full of breasts with the joy of accomplishing something myself for the first time in my life.

I'm still a bird in a cage.

But still, maybe I could just get up a little bit. Until now, all I did was squat "Uzuma" in that cage. But now... now I was finally able to get up.

And I guess I'm going to look forward and face this vast world.

─ ─ I'm sure you can't be anything to me. Am I there?

Yeah. I'm here. Knowing his warmth, the warmth of his own tears, because I already... know.

I'm sure I'm here.

Indeed, here, in this place, exists.

Carve into this heart the presence of my friends and of Amelia-Rose that Ray has created for me.

I began to move on.

At this moment today, just one step forward. If you look at it to others, it could be a very obvious step, trivial, like it doesn't matter.

But such a trivial step has been a really big one for me.

Even I think I can move forward. Today, just now, I could find out.

So let's challenge with confidence.

Many competitors are waiting for Magics Chevalier at the Magic Sword Competition.

Beyond that, in search of my real self, I keep moving on.

Carving what he gave me into this heart...
