"... the warrior of darkness...?

Brain frowned on a word that Surrez suddenly said was meaningless.

"... darkness...? What the hell is that?

"There's a group of people who are planning such a bad thing. I'm one of them. And that dark group was interested in you."

Sirless kept staring down at Brain.

That's why I approached you.

――

"I've been given several assignments, but one of them is Brain, your solicitation."

Ha, and Sirens sighed.

"I really wanted to move forward a little more peacefully...."

"... was it you who stunned me last night and then closed the classroom door with a hard lock and left the lighting like a landmark?

"Discovery"

Surrez smiles.

"You're a promising stock for the future. I don't want to die from a zombie who got lost in the school building. That's why."

"... why are you calling me...?

"That's a gift. Hand red is not the same that year. Besides, there's a chance we'll be able to pull ourselves together - you have a little special situation, don't you?

Sirless kept putting it in between beats.

"Tragic Milkheiser - Revenge."

……

"I know you want power. That's why we have a deal."

"Exchange, conditions...?

"This contract of darkness..."

I saw a flame glittering at my fingertips.

"Dodged and protected by darkness, it increases all kinds of power. Your magic will grow stronger. Thanks to this fellow student, he passed the exam in one shot. You got a note?

Hahahaha! And Salles laughs.

"Well, revenge is the only thing on my mind. It's not bad for you, is it?

"... to be part of the darkness... what am I going to do?

"I want you to join me in the darkness of this kingdom."

……

It's none of your business, isn't it? Revenge is your only value. "

"... if I refuse...?

I want you to die here.

Surrez said clearly. There's no joke there. If Brain says no, he'll really kill you.

"I wish I could check my will a little more slowly. That's better than what happened. Curse your sharpness."

"Without confirming my intentions, should I press on with the contract?

Brain glanced at the flames at Surrez's fingertips.

Surrez responded with a pleasant tone.

That's a good idea!

But soon Surrez shook his head.

"--That's not going to work. This dark contract needs a mutual agreement. It feels like you're screwing deeply into your mind. You have to accept it from the bottom of your heart."

Sit still and look Brain in the eye and Sirless continues.

"That's why! Please! I don't want to kill my best friend Brain! Be one of mine!

Brain answered by staring back at Sirless.

"I can accomplish my revenge - I don't want to die here - it's certainly not a bad story...."

"I think so, too?

Brain said clearly to the siren's smile.

"But I refuse."

――

"You're mistaken. Revenge is of paramount importance to me, but I'm not abandoning everything else. How dare you disobey the kingdom!

Looking at him in surprise, Salles whistled.

"Oh, you could die here right now, but can you say that? Your revenge ends here, huh?

"I don't care... this Brain Mills was the only man I ever knew."

"Yes, that's Dr. Brain!

Black flames disappeared from Surrez's fingertips. That hand, the magic exit, aimed at Brain's face.

"At least I'll kill you with one blow, Doctor!

Of course, I'm not going to die on Brain.

Brain pushes back Surrey's body. Then he reached out to take Surrez's arm.

But Surrez is also a good user. It is not the opponent who can push the brain out in an unfavourable position.

As he weighed himself and consolidated Brain, Salles said with a lonely smile.

"Goodbye, Sensei. You've been a good friend, but your sharpness is bad."

Surrey's right hand is pointing towards Brain's face.

In a word, if Surrez talks about magic, it's over.

(... damn it...!

Brain enlightened him at the last moment and bit his teeth.

At that time...

Brain noticed something moving at the edge of his vision. Rooftop. There's someone on the roof. The school building here is L-shaped, and depending on the angle, you can see the edge of the roof.

(... who is that...?

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Impact"

At the same time as Liz's voice, Laura's body flew backwards.

Ugh!

Laura's body collided with the rooftop fence, making a loud noise, and Laura lowered her hips on the roof.

Laura!

I took a position to cover Laura. When she flickered her gaze behind her, Laura pressed her chest against her.

"Uhh, uhh..."

"Are you okay, Laura...?

Ha, yes...

Laura coughed violently, but at least not severely. I exhaled relieved.

I was alarmed.

I can't believe I'm suddenly attacking my friend Laura...

I turned to Liz.

Liz was unusual. There is an unusual light in the eyes, and the expression is not clear. And the dark scales were blowing up like wrapping up his body.

... what is that...?

"Don't move. Move and I'll shoot."

I turned my right hand towards Liz. I hurt Laura. I'm not going to forgive you.

"Well, wait, Mr. Alberto!

I heard a distressing voice from behind.

Laura stood up slowly while holding her chest.

"Liz is insane! I'm gonna hurt her!"

"No, but...."

I was confused. Sure, Laura's right. She's not normal. But I don't think it makes sense because it's not normal.

――

Liz murmured something and pointed her right hand at me.

Liz seems to be motivated, too.

"Mr. Liz! Please don't do this!

Laura called out, and Liz's face smiled. With a painful face, uhh, uhh, uhh. The hand trembled slightly.

Liz!

It's no use.

Laura's voice, which found hope in Liz's state, was covered with words like cold water.

Philbus approached us.

"Liz is dominated by the power of darkness. Because the person's consciousness remains, they respond to the call, but that's all."

"The power of darkness?

Philbus nodded at my words.

"To put it plainly, the Frenzy Spirit appeared in the water quality survey of Lake Bygiarne, right? Just like him."

Ah.

Certainly that spirit was contaminated with something black.

……

... eh?

I found myself there.

I glanced at Liz. Liz was holding her head in confusion because of Laura's call.

... you still have time.

Dr. Philbus.

Hmm?

"I feel that the teacher is a very student-friendly teacher behind a subtle attitude. I respect Dr. Philbs' attitude."

"Oi, pussy....! What are you saying now?

Surprisingly, Philbus was no different.

"Well, I'd be happy if I knew!

"That's why I want Professor Philbus to take off his clothes. To help Liz... there's something I really want to try. Doctor, can you help me?

"I don't care! Try anything! I forgive you!

Philbus was in a good mood.

I'm glad you agreed to it. I feel comfortable trying this without permission. [M]

It's the first time I've ever shot a human body.

"Magic Arrow"

I spoke a word I was used to.

But your right hand is not Liz - it's Philbus.

Huh?

Philbs leaks his voice to my sudden movements.

My white arrow pierced Philbus' chest.

"Uhhhhhhhh!? What are you doing, Alberto? Whoa!

Philbus shook his chest in a commotion.

The movement stopped perfectly.

"... isn't that painful?

"Good."

It was as imagined.

"It's a magic arrow that cleanses the lake of pollution."

That's why people don't get hurt. The target is only 'pollution'.

Philbus' dedication has shown that my Decontamination Magic Arrow has no effect on the human body.

This should purify only the dark forces that dominate Liz.

Liz is intact and helpful.

There is nothing wrong.

I turned my right hand to Liz and let go of my magic.

"Magic Arrow"
