The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

"A harmful spirit...."

Raul Pavarini stared at the other runaway candidates with cold eyes and then gave a sharp glimpse of the huge face roaring over her head.

Harmful spirit.

Also known as evil spirits and demons.

It is abominable that a person who has fallen into magic against the holy teachings, or who has made a covenant with a demon tribe or a superior demon beast.

The roar calls to the clouds of evil, and the breath that breathes is no good, and it hurts the living.

Not only that, but it was enough for the saints to crush that their spiritual equilibrium would be broken by just listening to their loud, cramped voices.

The challenge given to Raul and his cadets this time is to contain this harmful spirit.

If you can push it back into the pot, that's fine, or even better, if you purify the very existence - that is, extinguish it.

(Aims to - of course, disappear)

From the audience seat, I can feel Gino and Chloe staring at us.

And Raul answered it with a slight lifting of the lips, and put a quiet spirit of struggle in his deep lake-like eyes.

Stay with your hands stacked and your palms facing out.

... and imagining the holy force swirling in his palm, he opened his mouth.

"Pray in the name of greatness..."

Even the senior priest of the great Ruden must speak of a petition for a long time to activate the sacred power as a magic trick.

However, Raul, the "Ice Sage", who was judged to retain more sanctity than the Cardinal, had already succeeded in shortening the chant while being a candidate.

All I have to do is tell you how to activate the technique.

"Keep away all those who touch the cobblestones with the shield of ice."

As soon as he briefly told him, he made a tingling and sharp sound, and frost pillars stood all at once on the stage, crawling up to the (...) feet of the candidates as they watched.

"Nh...!

"Well, why us...!?

The dressed students, who had Raul iced their lower body, looked astonished.

Raul watched with no expression as the waves of ice slowly pushed them around the stage.

"Out of my way."

I don't think that people who can't fight each other's attacks can fight harmful spirits.

It was because I decided that it would be good for them to decide to leave before the spiritual equilibrium broke down and we started fighting each other.

"I will become a saint and use the power of the Trinitate to create a new Aurelia. Let me leave you alone."

Raul, who coldly abandoned him and tried to turn to the harmful spirit, but at that time he saw a man in sight, and opened his eyes slightly.

A girl with dumplings and glasses.

An international student from Rouden, Elma.

She seemed to have lightened Raul's ice sacredness by leaving the floor early and landed after the ice waves had covered the stage - that is, when she had "touched the floor".

However, it does not seem to be the case that you are willing to evade magic and challenge the harmful spirit. You are looking at the day after tomorrow while holding your arms together, and you are thinking about something.

And when the blonde maid in the waiting room, and the servant who seemed gloomy, withered their voices,

"Elma, ahhhhhh! Ah, ah, ah, ah!

"Be careful!

I call it.

As Elma raised her face softly, she quickly looked around and for some reason took an unnatural pose and paused like an entertainer.

"It's okay. I'm as rigid as you are."

Looking at how you communicate without moving your lips - it's like a ventriloquist - it seems that you're imitating a candidate who is frozen and unable to move.

The two in the waiting room drooped toward the wall.

It was kind of a sad trick.

(... what is that?

Raul suddenly looked suspicious, but as soon as he shook his head, he changed consciousness.

This girl, she didn't seem to be using her sacred powers, but if she could evade her magic quickly, she would at least be swallowed by harmful spirits and not disturb herself.

"The spirit of the sand. I don't have any clear weaknesses, but... at best, I'll let you keep up with my sacred work."

The sand is freely variable in shape.

Flame and wind attacks are avoided by being scattered, and water attacks are instead weighed on the opponent when struck. Lightning is also ineffective.

There is no clear way to deal with this, so we need to do everything we can to investigate the response.

But Raul saw it as an opportunity.

(This chalice is a good place to show my sanctity throughout Aurelia and to the nations. Demonstrating that I can manipulate the power of all systems, I have the will and overwhelming power - I have it!

In a flash of mood, Raul began to burst with a short chant.

"Holy light!

Nhh...!

Guiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Even the roar is exposed to intense light, and the face of the harmful spirit is distorted in anguish.

Too dazzled, the surroundings, including the audience, covered their eyes at once.

Even Raul himself made shelter with his arms and narrowed his eyes, but Elma, a little further away, remained stationary without any sign of moving one arm.

…………

Unexpectedly, when Raul looked at Elma with a suspicious look, she noticed something called "Oh," and now she covered her eyes with her arms and whispered softly.

"Excuse me, these glasses have a little bit of a delayed response due to their darkening effect."

――…………

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

"Les... the lens is not transparent...?

That's right.

Returning an unanswered gavel, the girl somehow gently offered one hand to Raul.

"Um, please think of me as just a reed, but please don't hesitate to continue."

…………

I am worried about what I returned.

However,

Doaa...... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

As the attacked spirit scattered the dust as if he had lost himself, and raised an incredible roar, Raul quickly turned around and unleashed his holy magic.

"Let me! Holy rain!

If you bathe in evil dust, you will be physically and mentally damaged, so call rain first and replace it with a shield.

Zaaaaahh...!

The rain that fell only locally around Raul turned the sand into mud and fell on the ice stage with a loud noise before hurting Raul's body.

As a precaution, Raul glanced at the other cadets.

However,

…………

So I suddenly had the feather to scream.

"Why is it raining harder around you than at me!?

"Hmm? Oh, I was just using grenades to stimulate the rain clouds when I jumped earlier...."

Elma, who had summoned rain to her surroundings, replied with a large umbrella that she had taken out sometime.

"I'm sorry, please don't worry. Because we are like unspoken shellfish in the background."

There is no such prominent background.

Raul's throat was filled with words of penetration.

"Zh... ahhhhhhhh!

But when the mud fell on the ice stage, it trembled and began to gather with a groaning, so Raul turned to the harmful spirit again.

"Holy flames and fools, come together!

Now it's a highly aggressive technique that combines hot flames and wind.

The fiery wind blows the ice on the stage while melting, or kicks the "face" of the gathered harmful spirit to pieces.

Buh! There were many sharp sounds, every time the stage, the wall, and the harmful spirit broke down.

"Kyaaaaaaa!

"Wow!

I don't suppose the other candidates have suffered from this either.

Fortunately, the ice that was holding her legs melted, and she screamed and tried to leave the stage.

Raul tried to run around the wind defense wall behind them, whilst challenging them.

…………

So I started to open my eyes again.

"You... what the hell are you using to avoid the fiery wind!?"

"Oh, don't worry, it's just a carbon nanofiber umbrella."

Elma defeated the umbrella she had just used to weather the rain in front of her, avoiding the flames and mistakes.

Even though it looks like an umbrella without any eccentricity, the flames of great momentum are lightly repelled by the wind and split into two strands in front of Elma.

Looking closely, the other candidates were aligned with a rough look behind Elma with her umbrella, as if she were hiding behind a tall student during a dog ball.

"Ka... carbon, what...?

"Yes, it is lightweight, but it nullifies almost all physical attacks, so we value it very much."

When Raul repeats with a tongue biting into a word that he is unfamiliar with, Elma answers with a look like, "Ah, thank you."

She pointed at the harmful spirit with the other hand, with her umbrella in her hand.

"Now that we have distributed earplugs to the candidate, the risk of disturbing the mental equilibrium has been reduced considerably. As a complete mob, we are ready to play complete silence, so please let Raul Pavarini play the role of a hero without any regrets."

Even if you are recommended with your face, who will be the hero in this situation?

"Come on... what the hell are you doing just now...?!

"Like all other cadets, we do our best to defend ourselves."

Elma shined her glasses proudly there somehow.

"I don't use a shard of sanctity either. Anyway, I don't have the sacred power like you for everyone."

"I'm sure you're doing more strange things than that, but ahh!

In fact, the audience's attention was focused on Elma, who tried to neutralize the attack in a strange and bold way, rather than on Raul, who used the supposed sacred technique.

"Elma... This... Elmaaaaaahhh...!"

"I can't do that anymore..."

Incidentally, Irene and Lucas have even lost their jamming words and scratched the walls of the waiting room.

Instead of two people whose hearts had been completely broken, Raul was stuck in Elma.

"What the hell are you! What the hell are you... thinking!?

The intention of his question was, of course, to say, "What do you mean," but Elma received the words in face value and nodded strictly.

"I'm thinking about dialogue."

"Nh... do you understand what's going on right now!? Take a closer look at the sight in front of you than think nonsense!

The intention of his order was, of course, to say, "Don't be ridiculous," but Elma kept his words to face value - abbreviated below.

And she lifted her face covered with glasses and stared at the harmful spirit that kept roaring at the attack.

"Looks like you're screaming like you just saw it."

"No, it's not..."

"Yes, it is not. That's right. In fact, he's not just screaming at the dark clouds... he wants to tell you something. That's what you think, right?

"... what?

All of a sudden, Raul was stunned.
