Well then, even he can start ~!
Homura-san sits in the audience seat and looks at us while eating sweets.
"Hah, what does he want to do?"
"Well, it's also important to keep in touch with senpai. Let's do it quickly and make you happy."
"As usual, Masaki."
"Isn't that right?
I knew it was the usual mess.
I wonder what Mr Homura is worried about.
"Well, let's do our best, because Homura-san is watching you say that. Gil, you know what I mean?
"Hmm?" "Ah, well..."
Same...? You mean the same people Mr. Homura's been working on?
Misaki is struggling with something too, Mr. Homura.
Did he say something?
Homura-san, do you think it's okay to communicate?
Homura-san in the audience seat slapped his hands as he said, "Do it quickly!"
"Huh, that's right. Let's get this over with."
I'm good.
Well, Mr. Homura's request was to pull Misaki's full strength...
Let's see how it goes for now.
Together with Misaki's peculiar magic, Homura would be satisfied if she pulled out her strength well.
Well then let's go ~ ~!
Masaki has been using general-purpose magic and fireballs to suppress attacks since the beginning.
I'll freeze it and wait for my next move.
Now, how do we get here?
But next and next, a fireball storm.
There is no sign of strange magic at all.
Thunderbolts fly in as if I remembered once in a while, but none of them are in the realm of general-purpose magic.
Even so, it's not a powerful magic trick.
"What's the matter, don't you use special magic?
"You need to use this spring."
If I don't move, I won't show you.
Change of plans, somehow we need to hunt them down.
Don't faint with one shot!
"Thunderbolt!"
A thunderbolt sounds like lightning, and electric shock is emitted to the masaki.
"Yabe, no good."
After all, no matter how much power I suppress, my thunderbolt will be more than twice as powerful as Misaki.
Oh my God, it's more powerful than I thought... is it over now?
"Misaki, are you okay?!
"--fufufu, Gil-san, I'm also a student at this school."
When the smoke cleared, Masaki stood still.
No signs of damage, no dirt.
What... did you prevent it?
There was a magical reaction, but it didn't look good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"... thin film..."? Barrier? "
Thin membranes overlap many layers and appear to be strong.
"That's what I mean! It's not that easy to attack me!
Sure, this is troublesome. I've been fighting to reduce my power thinking it would be over if I hit it, but I didn't know I was a defensive magician.
From what I've seen, did you say "coagulation of air"?
I envy you a fairly versatile magic trick.
I can't break through unless I raise my power too... I have a bad feeling.
The struggle from there was quite one-sided. Looks good.
Yes, the unpleasant hunch was beautifully corrected.
Attacks from the front have a shield-like barrier, while attacks from the top and rear have a domed barrier. Exactly no 360 degree blind spot.
When I fought similar magicians before, it was a single shot because I used special magic, but... I don't want to do that.
All I have to do is increase my strength and speed and make sure my defenses don't catch up.
If you attack so thoroughly in a mock battle as Homura-san told you, you could get hurt.
It's kind of important at this time of year.
"Damn it, it's hard!"
"Gil, I'm going to take your attack off, so I'm doing my best!"
Unilateral... but unresolved struggle lasts for a few minutes.
I notice something strange in it.
Something's wrong.
This magic... Is it the original way of using it as a barrier?
It seems like it could be used in any other way.
You dare decide to use it only for your own defense?
Even if I show you the gap, it's just general-purpose magic.
Is this Homura-san's unbreakable shell?
Sure enough, you won't lose or win in battle.
There's no waves. Is that it?
Honestly, I don't think this fight makes any sense.
Did Homura-san understand this magic and let me fight? On the contrary, if you break through the defenses of this magic - no, you're telling me to break through!?
When I glanced at Mr. Homura, my eyes met.
Homura-san winks and raises his thumb as if he were reading it in my mind.
"Is that what this is about?"
First of all, let's break down the concept of dedication...
Protecting………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Do you think destroying the iconic sacred magic will trigger Masaki to change? And if we can break through, we'll have to attack.
I somehow understood Homura-san's thoughts, but... is it going to work so well?
If you don't win, you won't lose, most of the time.
That's not my role!!
Does he really know what I'm capable of?
Don't kill me so cleverly. It's hard to help me!
I feel like I'm overestimating it and underestimating it.
As always, Mr. Homura is looking at Nico and me.
I'm looking forward to it.
Well, they say something, so I'm going to break through that defense.
I went there at first, but I don't use weird magic.
If you break it well and show the gap, you'll be able to handle it.
I'll scatter the fireball like a shotgun. Keith, you're going to have to paddle the trick you were good at.
"Ku, after all, Gil, your general magic is strange!" But if that's enough...
Masaki unfolds the barrier in front of him.
As I thought, with that amount of material, it's slow to deploy in a dome.
I'm going to do more work than I did just now and I can't prevent it.
I used magic one after the other without giving them time to rest.
Kh!
If it's a barrier made of air coagulation, as I assumed, it should freeze.
I'll freeze Masaki's barrier all at once with Blizzard.
"Frozen?!
All that remains is to concentrate on one point.
I create a Spear of Lightning when I gather my magic at once.
"Thunderspear!"
"Hey, even if you say the application of general-purpose magic, that's exactly...!"
The frozen barrier is pierced by the power of a lightning spear and shattered to pieces like glass.
Fragments of the scattered barrier slowly dance to the ground.
What we've just learned from the fight is that the barrier has a lag of nearly four seconds to reload.
All that's left is a direct attack.
I get close to Masaki at once.
Come on, attack me!
This behavior before my linear attack is a great opportunity to harvest it with my magic!
But Masaki has no sign of an attack, and he's willing to accept my attack. As if I was going to end it here from the beginning.
The expression was unrepentant and calm.
Then I understand.
Well... do you think winning me is not your role in Masaki? After all, losing is a matter for me to decide.
I believe that's the right role.
A tie-down play in which no magic is used to attack.
I'm sure this is a distortion.
Is that what your personality is about, or is it related to your origins?
You think you can win if you do everything you can? You think if you use it to attack, you're going to win... and you're being licked instead?
Yes, that's it ~! Good work, both of you
Homura-san stops the game after clapping his hands with bread.
In the end, I couldn't see the true value or change of the masaki.
