Anna was listening to her heart beat as she grabbed two magic swords.

Nervous, nervous.

It's not like it's the first time I've fought Charlotte.

The first time was in the semifinals of the on-campus tournament.

The second time was on the meadow the other day.

But neither was Charlotte serious.

That was the first time I was really out of hand. I've been cared not to let this one get hurt. That can't be called a battle very well.

The second time, he hasn't done anything wrong. In fact, I shouldn't have consciously lost my hand. Anna's magic sword, Keraunos and Anemoi, was already modified by the Great Sage then, and Anna was using it. I don't remember giving you any room to help.

As a result, the second battle was won by Anna.

Charlotte admitted it honestly. So, even the atmosphere was created as if Anna had become Charlotte's equivalent.

But Anna herself thinks no.

I'm not denying my victory because I won by relying on the performance of my weapon.

Getting a powerful sword and using it is also part of a swordsman's skill.

I had no intention of embarrassing you there.

The problem is how serious Charlotte is.

It seems similar and slightly different that what you're not doing and what you're serious about.

The strong desire not to lose, even if yes, was not in Charlotte then.

It was not recognized as a strong enemy.

Anna just knocked down Charlotte's heart gap like that.

The rationale is that it's worse to stay alert, but I'm not as happy with that kind of victory.

Anyway, there's no resentment against them, and winning or losing doesn't change their interests.

The very purpose is not to fight to get something, but to fight and win.

That's why I want to focus on the contents of that battle, on how to win.

So here comes the third battle.

Charlotte thinks of Anna as her 'opponent to fight'.

He stares at me with a sharp eye.

I was happy about that, and Anna trembled.

Anna, Charlotte and Laura play together all the time.

Yet Anna always felt a little alienated.

Bigger walls, not for the trivial reason that the classes are different.

The wall of talent as an adventurer was rising.

On that wall Anna now stands.

We're going to take a peek at what's on the other side of the wall.

That's what it's like to fight Charlotte for real.

"My chest is pounding... I'm going to burst with nervousness... I'm happy and I'm going to fall... when Charlotte fights Laura too, was this it?

"Yeah, that's right."

"Wow... I finally caught up with the two of them for the first semester... they won't let me go anymore. We'll get past Charlotte here."

"Oh, you're welcome to catch up, but you can't stop being overtaken. Last time I did lose...... that's why I'm doing my best today. Mr. Anna, I will defeat you!

Charlotte's eyes show Anna.

Charlotte is staring at Anna in battle, not in everyday situations.

"Thanks...... I feel like I've been dreaming about the day you say that ever since I lost to Charlotte in the tournament. And win."

"Hehe... Ugh... you think you're gonna win? You think you're gonna beat me? I'm looking forward to that. Anna, show me everything you can!

Surprisingly, it was Charlotte who set me up first.

High pride she assumed Anna would give way to this one.

But it's because you throw away such pride that you're "serious.

"Spirit of Light. Give my magic. Turn it into a thousand arrows and shoot through the enemies in front of you -"

Fast-mouthed spell chant.

From the midst of chanting it, an arrow of light appeared in front of Charlotte and flew towards Anna.

As the spell progressed, its density had increased, and by the end of the chanting, it had become so substitute that it could be called a wall of light.

Anna uses Keraunos and Anemoy to slap down the whole thing.

But the arrow of light was just a buy of time.

"Accelerate, my five senses. Turn it into steel, my flesh. The move is a thunderstorm. The blow is an iron hammer. Use your strength to destroy the universe."

Behind the wall of light, Charlotte was performing a second chant.

Probably doing reinforcement magic on himself.

But what strengthens me is a simple category among all sorts of magic.

Even Anna, who is not a wizard, can use it.

I mean go out of my way to increase my concentration with a spell chant -.

"Ready!"

As the barrage of arrows of light cleared, Charlotte advanced faster than the arrows.

Anna waved her sword reflexively, but both were grabbed.

Charlotte is holding the blade of the magic sword with her bare hands.

Yet not a drop of blood flows.

The blade does not pass through the skin.

Electric shock from Keraunos. From Anemoy, he emits a gust of wind, but still Charlotte did not let go of her hand and stepped in vigorously.

The shock brings Anna's body to life.

Charlotte still accelerated and burst into the wall all at once.

"Ha!

Hit Charlotte's body hard on the back against the stone wall, further from the front.

With the pain of being sandwiched, for a moment, my consciousness was distant.

But I won't let go of my sword.

And zero distance.

It's Anna's time to be a swordsman.

Talk about being held down by a sword with horrible arm power, but then you just have to push it back.

As much as I can muscle a thousand cuts.

Originally, the muscle strength of the vegetables was overwhelmingly higher on Anna.

It is reversed with reinforced magic, but it is further reversed.

Nevertheless, from Charlotte, such as Anna's magic powers, it's like a sparrow tear. Anna has now remained under fortified magic since before this battle began. Yet I'm pushing it down.

If your magic is not enough, you can borrow the magic of the Magic Sword.

Thanks to two magical swords, Anna is able to use the inherently unsuitable thunder and wind attack magic.

But the advantages of Keraunos and Anemoi are not just improved aptitude values. One of the features is Anna's ability to use the magic that these two have.

Of course, even with enormous magic, it doesn't make sense if you can't use it.

Except for the magic of manipulating thunder and wind, we have to do something on our own.

Anna, who has a low magic aptitude value, has limited magic to use.

Defensive Magic Suitability: 29

Enhanced Magic Suitability: 31

All other magical fitness values are equal to none.

It's useless to just train.

Therefore, the special training in magic has been narrowed down to only these two. Thanks to this, it's a little decent to use.

Re-execute the enhanced magic that is somehow taking shape with the magic of the magical sword. Explode muscle strength. At the same time, use defensive magic to increase the strength of the skeleton to withstand muscle strength.

"I win -!"

!?

Charlotte gives a surprising look that she is being pushed back from being completely cornered to the wall.

I guess you didn't think it would surpass the enhanced magic you even chanted the spell.

Each other, both arms blocked.

If you lose your posture even slightly, the balance leans at once. That's why I can't even give you kicking moves.

I even have to squeeze my muscle strength and magic and push my opponent.

In that situation, Anna has won only marginally.

If we keep this up, we'll be able to get this next blow in.

And Anna was giving her all her body away, then.

"O Spirit of Fire. Give my magic. Hold the blade. Make it manifest under the contract."

Charlotte cast a new spell.

And behind her, a giant with a flaming body appeared. About twice the height of Charlotte.

A sword made of flames is held in his hand, as is his body.

This is how the skin is going to burn just to be close.

If he was slashed with that sword, or just hit by his body, Anna's body must be black burned.

But that should be the same as Charlotte.

She pours a lot of magic into fortified magic. and summoned the Spirit of Fire. Then I can't afford to put up a satisfactory defensive junction.

So, as long as it's snuggled up like this, Charlotte can't attack Anna with a spirit -.

The prediction was betrayed in a comma second.

"Huh!?"

The Spirit of Fire tried to pierce Anna with that sword.

But it is behind Charlotte that the Spirit of Fire stands. I mean, I'm trying to pierce every Charlotte.

While your head turns white, your survival instinct chooses to avoid it.

First, cut the magic you were using for defensive magic and turn it into enhanced magic. And generates electricity in Keraunos and flows it into his own muscles. That allowed him to exert more power than he could limit, pushing Charlotte, and with that recoil he flew directly beside himself, too.

Severe, painful.

It hurts like muscles burn with current. Both bones and joints are screaming.

But if we did not, we would have been pierced with flaming swords and burned simultaneously from the inside and from the outside.

Whatever, die.

So the battle is over.

Was Charlotte after the hit?

No.

I can't possibly think of it because of her personality, such as the aim of the match. Such a thing is like defeat.

"Well... I'll just have to die if I'm burned... but Charlotte can use healing magic"

"Hehe, have you noticed? Yeah, that's right. Ms. Anna ends up there when she receives a fatal wound. But I can recover unless I die instantly. This difference is historical. I won't make you coward. Because that's what wizards are for."

"I wouldn't say you're cowardly. Rather...... thank you for taking it seriously"

I can recover if I don't die instantly. Nevertheless, there is no guarantee anywhere that he will not die instantly by piercing his belly with a blazing sword.

I mean, a critical attack for Charlotte, too. It's like gambling.

I would never do it normally.

This is the technique that truly represents the difference between "not doing anything wrong" and "being serious."

"I transcend that Charlotte's seriousness...!

"I'll take a look at Anna's seriousness in return!

The Spirit of Fire divided and increased in number.

From one to the five.

The size was the order of Laura, but the high number is a threat. Simply five times the attack flies. And if they work together successfully, that threat will jump tens of times, rather than five times.

The only way Anna can counter it, which can't be divided or divided, is to go even faster.

Reinforced magic. And, previously used, forced movement of muscles by current.

I can't say it hurts, etc.

Even if you pass out in pain, you should wake up again with current.

Accelerate until the muscle fibers are burned out!

The Spirit of Fire approached Anna. First, two bodies in front of me. The whole thing is holding back behind it, and the other two are trying to turn around behind it.

Slash and tear the three bodies directly in front with Keraunos and blow them with the wind of Anemoi.

Then he slaughters the two bodies behind him, spinning away like a sword dance.

Now I've defeated all the Spirits of Fire, but that's why I can't feel safe or anything. Instead, they let me consume my time and strength. Shake the blade down to Charlotte to fill the difference.

The time Anna spent defeating the Spirit of Fire is less than a tenth of a second.

Using that time, Charlotte was expanding her next magic around herself.

"Distortion -"

Faster whining than you would normally hear.

I sharpened my five senses, Anna. That's why I listened so hard.

It was a short but spell chant.

"Chip!"

Kerawnos' blade, swinging down towards Charlotte, curved in a mess and protruded towards his own face.

Anna twists her torso and barely scratches it.

Pretty painful posture, but releasing the next slaughter with Anemoy from that state.

but it also came back to Anna.

We have to jump back and dodge.

Because of this, the distance I have packed by knocking down the Spirit of Fire opens wide.

Nevertheless, it is an unintelligible phenomenon, such as a blade swinging down towards the person in front of you coming at you. Too unrealistic.

I just think the space is distorted - yes, it is.

Charlotte invented it by chance during the practice of the Dimension Warehouse, her original moves.

"Hehe... gorgeous Dimension Barrier by Gorgeous Charlotte,"

"Awesome... I can't believe you said the full name of that embarrassing move in this situation...!

When Anna is stunned, Laura and the others who were watching the game also raise their voices.

"The attitude of Mr. Charlotte piercing herself at all times, he looks great!

"Regardless of the naming sense, I guess that obsession produces the same effect as a spell to increase concentration. Charlotte, pierce your style! I don't care if they say it's bad from around!

"Pi!

"Outfield, shut up!

Laura and the Great Sage, pissed off by Charlotte, shook in hug with "Frightened Yikes".

Shut up the field next time, Charlotte faces Anna again.

"Well, Mr. Anna. Now you know, right? My Dimension Barrier is more sophisticated than before. Anna's slaughter will never reach me again. On the contrary... if you wave down your sword, Anna will attack herself!

"I was certainly surprised. It's reacting a lot faster than before...... but it doesn't make a difference that Charlotte has been distorting space since she recognized the slaughter. So if you attack faster than Charlotte's reflex nerves, I win"

"It's easy to say, it's hard to do. Don't think the Wizard's Reflex is inferior to the Swordsman."

"I don't think so. But I don't think I'm inferior to Charlotte."

"Then it's a battle. It's time to settle."

"Where I Want It"
