Side: May
"Mai, what happened just now?
While we were aiming for the western edge of the steel forest, we were defeating the demons we encountered, but things have been going wrong with Mai since earlier.
"Yeah, kind of."
That said, Mai looks around Kyolo Kyolo.
What does it mean?
"May don't feel anything?
"Something? Like, signs of demons?
"No.... like, for example, the sign of Mr. Ifried"
What the hell are you talking about?
There is no way that Yfried would be here.
"But the signs you feel are stronger than Master Ifried's, right? Besides, there are several signs of it."
"What?"
My sister seems to have finally gone crazy.
Stronger than Yfried, the King of the Four Spirits?
And how many signs of that?
That can't be happening.
"Ah, come here!
When Mai said that, I also noticed some huge chunk of magic coming this way.
Gradually brighter behind the dim woods.
A mass of flames appeared from among the trees.
The flame looked like a knight.
"Su, awesome pure flame"
Mai is in love.
I think I get it.
I'm a water spirit, so I'm not really interested in the magic of flames or anything, but I still had something to attract to the knight of flames, a mass of high-purity magic.
"Ah."
The Horseman of Fire looked at us a little and then turned his back and left for the back of the woods.
"Hey, what was that?
"Demons, huh? Or someone's magic? But it was amazing anyway."
"Yeah. If it's magic, it's definitely Hart's!
Mai has been calling her classmate, Hart, 'Master Hart' since the other day's wall penetration incident at the training center.
Of course I've never called that upon myself, and I don't think anyone has found out yet because we don't talk that close to everyone in our class.
At that time, Mai seems to have fallen in love with the magic Mr. Hart used.
"The knight was awesome earlier, but I knew Master Hart's spear was something else."
To me, the Spirit of Water, all I could think of was magic of immense power, but to Mai, the Spirit of Fire, it seemed magical enough to break its values.
"Master Hart, would you mind serving me, too?
"Like Mr. Yoko?
Mr. Yoko, who was in our class, was a demon. It is also said that the grown individual is a catastrophic nine-tailed fox. Mr. Hart says he's on a subordinate contract.
"'Cause you can produce a flame that pure? If I sign a contract, I'll be a high spiritual class."
We spirits are usually in a place called the Spirit World. By entering into covenants with humans and being given power by humans, we can manifest ourselves in this world and lend our strength to humans as a price.
The greater the power that is given to us by man, and the purer its magic, the greater the power that we can put out.
We are under certain circumstances and can manifest ourselves in this world all the time without having to contract with humans.
But there are limits to the power that can be given.
"At first you said you wanted to be used by Mr. Luke..."
Looking for someone to serve us in this world was one of the purposes of coming to this school.
"Yeah, but now, Master Hart, it's a choice! Oh, of course I won't impose on May. If Mr. Luke's okay, I'll be there for you."
Being the grandson of a wise man and able to use ultimate magic at that young age, Mr. Luke was the most prominent candidate for a contractor, but since seeing Mr. Hart's magic, Mai seems completely captivated by him.
"In the meantime, there's no more demons around here, and it's time to go back"
"Right. When you get back, would you like to ask Mr. Hart about that knight you just had?
"Yeah, if it was really Master Hart's magic, I'd ask you to sign a contract!
It's an awesome intent.
Mai was a Ciscon, and she was always perfect for me.
When you left the spiritual world, did you forget what you were talking about when you were being used by people with you?
I miss you a little, but let's be happy that my sister was able to leave me.
Except if Mr. Hart is able to treat water attribute magic equally to fire attribute magic.
If so, I would also like to take care of him with Mai.
Well, I don't think it's possible that you can use that level of magic with two attributes...
