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

"Amelia, are you calm?

"Yeah. Well... thanks, Ray"

"Even for me, I'd be happy to help you."

"Ugh, yeah."

Does she embarrass herself by leaning down with her face bright red, saying that as she strays her gaze from me?

Amelia and I, on the other hand, were still trying to tangle our fingers and hold hands... apparently, that's not how it works anymore.

Because the third-place decision-makers of this battle are over. Also, if you are a rookie, on the face of it, Albert is undefeated because of his injuries. As a result, time is ahead of schedule.

And the game ended with a relaxed atmosphere and understandable by loud cheers.

We'll have our last conversation before the game. Even to push Amelia's back.

"Amelia. Finally, the finals."

"Yeah."

"Ariane will be strong"

"... yeah. Right."

"I'm sure it's scary to stand up to that intrinsic sorcery Origin. That's totally physics specific. If you loosen your defense a little, they'll take it all at once. But you've survived my battle. You'll find a way to live."

"... yeah"

"Amelia can fight. I can face it. I taught you everything. And..."

"And?"

"No, only those who go from here will know. When the time comes, you'll understand what my words mean."

"... well. Yeah. If Ray says so, I guess so."

When I looked closely, her hands were still shaking.

I shake Amelia's trembling hand like that again softly. Try to wrap gently around it and hold her hand to transmit the heat.

"I'm fine. Amelia, I'm watching. Besides, the days of special training with me are definitely your achievement. So I believe. I'm sure you can win."

"Yeah...... Huh!!

The face turned bright red after tears, but I couldn't see Kake anymore. He had a sunny expression, Kao, as if even the possession had fallen.

"─ Huh."

Moments, I feel signs. A really very slight sign. No, this is killer. That's what I'm trying to figure out... Amelia didn't seem to notice.

But is this inviting? No, I just thought so.

─ ─ I see, you mean you're here at this time...

And at the same time, I was remembering yesterday's conversation with the head of department. That's about Grimreaper, the reaper lurking behind this tournament.

"Is Albert missing?

"Ah. He couldn't keep up with the whereabouts since he was transported to the infirmary. Now you're more certain that you're obviously after nobility."

"Really... Albert..."

Were you transported to the infirmary after that game and kidnapped there?

I just couldn't forgive it. How much thought, energy, you think you're fighting. As if to trample on that thought, the existence that is harming the Magics Chevalier is not acceptable at all.

But I can't help but leave it to my emotions here. We should deal with this calmly first. And the masters are moving. You should trust that.

The first step is to see what you can do.

"Ray, look. Calm down and listen. Perhaps the abducted students are still somewhere in this venue. Probably gathered in one place. And he'll be lost at the end of the tournament and taken away as he is. Well, this one's handled by the Dean of the College."

"Yes."

"That's why we should respond by preventing future damage. Perhaps… the most dangerous at present would be the three nobles and Clarice-Cleveland"

"Is that Clarice?

"Ah. Among the upstream nobles, the Cleveland family is the upstream nobility that is considered the closest to the three greatest nobles. In fact, I have quite a few escorts on Amelia-Rose and Clarice-Cleveland. But Ray would spend a lot of time dealing with them, wouldn't he?

The story of Clarice's house was heard in detail when he went to his master's house.

That seems to be a much bigger aristocratic house than I expected.

Says you're coming to the next point of the three nobles? That means that Clarice is also a grand aristocratic lady, just like Amelia. It was a story that that was enough reason to be targeted.

"Yes."

"That's why I want you to be on your guard, too"

Copy that, sir.

"Oh. I trust you about Ray. Nice to meet you. We're moving back too, but don't be too vigilant. I don't know what it is."

"Ha. Got it."

From yesterday's conversation, it would undoubtedly be an intervention by Reaper, the Grimreaper. Jumping into a place you obviously just think you're inviting... comes with danger. But the option not to go here does not exist.

From here on out is the final.

The athletes and the audience are waiting.

I can't not go, I won't go.

When I think about it, I tell her again:

"Amelia, I'm sorry. Your game... apparently, we're just going to be a little late"

"? Steering committee work?

"Ah. That's the place. But definitely, I'll go check it out. Burn that bravery. So wait for me."

"Hehe... before Ray gets here, he could win, right?

Smile.

That's not what it's been before. It was Amelia's true heartfelt smile.

Pure beauty, I thought.

"If that's what you can say, you'll be fine."

"Is that right...? Am I okay?

Amelia, come on up and stare at me. It also seemed like he was craving something. That's how she kept her mouth shut for a while, you decided to... put it this way.

"Again. Just one more time, even if you give me a hug... okay?

"Of course."

When we pack each other's distance, now we try to gently wrap Amelia around each other and hug each other's bodies. Fever is transmitted. I hear a heartbeat. All of that comes through.

Now we do live. This is how we can feel each other. Without exchanging words, we engrave each other in its existence.

And let go of your body almost simultaneously.

You're coming.

"Ah. Win me, Amelia"

"Right. I'm sure it will!

"If Amelia is now, she'll make it."

"Ugh!

When Nicole smiles, Amelia leaves the scene gently. That back looked like the biggest thing I've ever seen of her.

It's full of confidence, such a human figure.

So I'm sure you'll be fine.

Amelia, you would... you would get there. Must be in that place.

You are no longer a bird in a cage. [M] I already have wings that just fly.

"Phew... well,"

─ ─ Looks like I'll have to go, too.

So prepared, I went underground uncomfortable.

◇

……

On the way to the basement. There was a distinct smell of death. It's not like there's some special magical factor. Only from my previous experience, I felt that there was something here that entailed death.

I've already freed up some of my abilities, and all I have to do is pick up my enemies.

As I walked carefully...... I saw a familiar face at the end of my gaze.

"Clarisse!? Why are you here?

Clarice should have an escort. I checked that with the general manager beforehand. I'm totally alone now, even though I say so. The sign of the magician of the escort, who should have lurked in the rear before, was completely gone.

─ ─ No way... the enemy has already hit you...?

Though I think so, Clarice talks to me as usual. She herself seemed unaware of this anomaly.

"Ray! Amelia was okay......?

"Oh. That's okay. Earlier, we made it to the finals safely"

"Oh well. Then I'm relieved, too."

"But how can I be here? There shouldn't be a job for the Steering Committee."

"Huh? Because I told my senior that I have a sudden management committee job. I was wondering if you could go underground for a moment. They said it would be over soon..."

"... I see. Is that what you mean..."

I'm sure this is inviting. But I can't solve it. Why did you imitate me? Give me something I wish I was lurking like before. How come at this time......

I don't have time to think about it, I feel signs of witchcraft.

It expands to cover this underground space and closes completely.

"Wide-area interference... you've set me up"

"Huh!? Huh......!? Suddenly it's dimmed. Huh? Blackout!?"

"Clarice... never leave my side"

"Ugh, ugh! But this... Could it be magic?

"Ah. It would be the magic of a wide area interfering system. We've already isolated this space from the outside world."

"Quarantined from the outside world!? What kind of magic is that?

"Yes, but be quiet now..."

"Ugh... yeah..."

Did she also feel something unusual from this atmosphere, or she keeps following me in silence?

If it's true, Clarice should have let him get away from here. But while we're talking, the opponent's wide-area interferometric magic is activated. Definitely the way Clarice and I were expected to meet.

Also isolated from the outside world was evident from the fact that the first material outside, the Prima Materia, was no longer felt.

And as I went further back, I went out into the open space.

This is where we always work.

A familiar space.

But now I realize that only one person who stood in the center of it stood up.

Recognize the target with the slightest light still on, even though the surrounding area is darkened.

Is he around one hundred and sixty centimeters tall? Woven with a large, hooded robe to it, and even a mask. The red and black patterned running mask looked familiar.

"... kitana"

"What's the purpose?"

"... Omae, Colos"

"Is that what I'm here for..."

"Soccino on Naha, Tsulete Frog......"

"I see. We're still after it."

It's like a doll talking, voice. Clarice was shaking because she was afraid of that creepy voice.

"What do you mean... kill Ray... take me home..."

I'm feeling it. Clarice also understands the killer's temper.

"Ray, don't run away! That's not who we can do anything about.

Clarice pulls my arm and tries to get right back to it... but this is where the other realm is already deployed.

I don't even understand the unique name, but fleeing outside would break my bones, of course, it would be possible if I used the anti-matter "antimaterial" code... but now that I have Clarice, it would be more difficult the other way around to escape.

So we can't avoid a fight anymore.

"Clarice. I'm sorry, but we're gonna have to fight."

"So, so!

"I'm fine. Leave it to me."

"I know Ray is strong, but this sucks! I know! So hurry up!

"Clarice. I can't lose. Besides, we can't let this guy get away here."

Moment after moment, I completely unlock the Chronoslock, which fixes the internal clock.

The opponent threw a short knife trying to sew between them.

I know you're not even going to give me time to fully engage in combat, but I'm already ready. All you have to do is carry things appropriately.

The truth is Clarice wants you to stay on standby on this occasion, but it would be quite dangerous to leave him alone also considering the characteristics of the enemy, etc.

"Yikes!!

"Clarisse! Don't talk for a while!! I'm gonna bite your tongue off!!

Just hold her up with your left arm and I'll run the cord all at once.

"─ Icy Thousand Sword Trident" Isicle Blades "

It is the ice sword that makes it manifest in your right hand. Squeeze it tight.

Then he slaps down that knife that the enemy throws at him by the ice sword and freezes it. This is a procedure to prevent leaking toxic liquids from touching your body.

─ ─ Physical movement is not bad. Plus the cord runs better than before.

Calmly analyze my current situation and I run the earth with Clarice in my arms.

In this darkness, it is probably the enemy who has the advantage. But I'm going through another night's war, too.

Count and determine its position backwards from where you throw it. Of course we are traveling in due course, so we rely on that sound to fight in a dim space.

Hold the ice sword in your right hand and release another ice sword floating in the universe towards your opponent. That number already exceeds fifty. If I were you right now, I could probably manipulate it while fighting.

"... Kuh!

Not a complete hit, but it seems to have hit it slightly. From there, I add the material change Material Shift to the code, turning the ice sword into a giant ice cube at once...

That was avoided by boulders, and ice cubes were only created on the spot. But this place is already filled with a lot of ice that I've produced with magic.

What it shows is that no matter where the enemy is, if he is around that ice, he can feel the first material, Prima Materia, even more. Even from humans, it leaks slightly. You don't miss it.

"─ There."

Rear, above.

On the face of the enemy there, I pierced the ice sword relentlessly. but I guess that mask still had magical enhancements. The mask is destroyed and only blood drips from the opponent's forehead stops "most".

"Gu...... Ugh. Oh... you look like an ice sword after all..."

The voice, unlike earlier, was not mechanical. It probably incorporated a magic trick to change speech into the mask. That has been destroyed, and now it is completely a vegan voice.

"After all, did you know that? Grimreaper."

"Kuk...... kuk. You know me, too? But... this tournament didn't matter to me. The woman is an order above, so I'll make sure... but all seven magicians have the strongest ice sword in them. Kukukukuku...... you won't have to kill him...... kukukuku. Roll, blood rolls. Kukukuku......"

I'm good at it. The gaze then. That was definitely him. Probably knew about me right after the tournament started. That's how you create the situation that I have no choice but to get out of, and to this day?

And the enemy pays lightly for that short knife they have.

Seeing the trick, this guy decided he was used to killing.

But... the fourth magician? There must be only me, the ice sword, Abby, the scorching heat, Carol, the illusion, those three. Who's the other one?

And there's no end to the doubt, but there's one thing to do.

"Shall I be prepared for it, Grimreaper?"

"Kuk...... kuk kuk. Who is the strongest in the world, Kukukuku...... let me tell you"

Clarice, held in my arms, was completely flabbergasted to hear the conversation. "Oh no... Ray is the ice sword? of the Seven Mages...... is that ice sword?" He groans, "but now he didn't have time to answer that question.

Totally because this is a death fight. Only one mistake leads to death. This guy will never miss it. It is self-evident to commit murder without mercy, such as hesitation.

I think it's a nostalgic feeling, but not if you're feeling that now.

"That's..."

I look at the weapon they took out, and I have one hypothesis. Prima Materia, a disastrous first ingredient, is involved. I wonder if it's like the Devil's Sword.

It is a substitute that exists from antiquity that the sword itself is endowed with a magical ability, which occurs permanently. Normally, magic can be granted to tools, etc., but it is almost impossible to anchor magic to the tools themselves.

I haven't figured that out yet. It's been a long time since I've seen it again, but I don't know the Shorthand Devil's Sword.

We need to calmly identify what kind of abilities it is first.

"Kuku. Kuku... Kuku..."

Echo.

The other voice echoes. And I completely lose my sense of direction. Which is in front and which is behind. No, I don't even know left or right. I don't even know if I'm standing or sitting on the ground.

I still feel like I'm about to hold Clarice, but that's all I know.

All the lights have already gone out.

Without seeing anything, and while the opponent's witchcraft was active, I couldn't activate the anti-matter code. Coordinate designation is essential to activate magic. Of course, you don't have to specify the coordinates to activate them, but the magic that happened just disappears out of order and quickly.

Using magic properly in this darkness, etc... Normally I can't.

But I'm sure the opponent makes it possible. It originally belonged to Grimreaper, the world's highest and prestigious assassination organization.

I guess fighting in the dark is more where you want it to be with him.

"─ Die."

I don't know where that voice came from. In this realm of echoing, I don't understand anything by relying on sound. It is impossible to rely on the five senses. Then I just don't have to rely on the five senses.

I'll run the new code.
