A voice colder than the still-white icicle came from the female student behind Shion.
Shion had tried to forcefully retreat from the storage room with the acting plan of “the dark destruction god leaving without even noticing the presence of the female student in the storage room,” but it seemed he had finally reached his limit.
“…Oh? There was someone here? I didn’t notice due to the extremely low magical power.”
Shion slowly turned around, his purple eyes ominously blurring as he muttered. In response, the red-haired female student who had already put on her skirt tapped her head with her index finger.
“…Are you alright in the head?”
To the female student who spoke such a perfectly reasonable question, Shion continued speaking as if he hadn’t heard her voice at all.
“Do you dare to obstruct the path of the Dark God of Destruction, Vasago-Deus-Gregor, little girl? How foolish. However, I’m not in the mood to kill an insect like you right now. You’re lucky. I’ll let you off just this ti–“
A sound of “Zan!” interrupted Shion’s words.
A blade of wind shot forcefully from the front, grazing Shion’s neck and leaving a mark on the door behind him as if an axe had been struck against it.
“If you don’t stop that nonsensical act the next time you open your mouth, I’ll cut off your head.”
“…Sigh. Oh well. I can’t believe this perfect act was seen through. I’m impressed. I surrender.”
“You’re out of your mind, aren’t you?”
Shion easily stopped his act as the female student said and returned his eye color to normal.
The warm blood flowing from his neck told him that the female student’s words were not just a threat.
However, the way he casually raised both hands in an exaggerated surrender pose and declared his surrender with apparent ease was still recklessly daring.
“Anyway, trying to get away with pretending to be crazy won’t work.”
Taking a breath as if to start over, the female student glared at Shion.
“You don’t think you can get away with peeking at the changing of Eliza Lowred, the fifth-ranked in this academy, do you?”
“I was hoping I could get away with it… So, what should I do?”
“…That nonchalant attitude of yours is irritating.”
–The female student who had finished changing was wearing a battle suit used for mock battles, but beside her, a female student uniform with a red line could be seen.
The uniforms of Crawford Magic Academy differ in the color of the lines depending on the class they belong to.
Class A uniforms have red lines, Class B uniforms have blue lines, Class C uniforms have gray lines, and Class D uniforms have no lines.
The uniform with red lines that the female student in front of him was presumably wearing until earlier indicated that she was a top-class A-rank magic student within the magic academy.
And then–.
“(This person is ranked fifth in the academy…)”
The “Academy Ranking” is a title given to the top ten students with exceptionally outstanding abilities regardless of grade level at Crawford Magic Academy, and the “Fifth Rank” she claimed represents that she is the fifth strongest among all 640 students.
“By the way, can I ask one thing?”
“What?”
Eliza, irritated, asked back to Shion who was calmly continuing the conversation.
“I’m not going to make excuses, and of course I’ll apologize… but why were you changing in the equipment storage room?”
Ideally, he would have used his earlier over-the-top act to confuse the female student’s mind and get away without making her feel “humiliated” at all.
However, if the female student was actually angry about the fact that he had peeked at her changing, Shion was prepared to atone for his crime in an appropriate manner.
But even so, he seemed curious about why the female student was changing in such a place.
“Sigh… I was planning to do some self-training at the nearby training ground, but the changing room was far away, so I changed here because it was close. I thought I’d finish changing quickly and no one would come until then. The door happened to be unlocked too. Got a problem with that?”
Eliza answered intimidatingly, implying, “Are you trying to say it’s my fault for changing in a place like this?”

“No, if that’s the case, it can’t be helped,” Shion said, looking convinced.
“So, how should I apologize to you?”
“Hmph, that’s obvious, isn’t it? I’ll make you experience more humiliation than I did.”
“I see, I understand.”
“…Huh? What do you understand? What?”
Shion spoke as if he had understood and accepted something, then –suddenly started to undo his belt.
“Wha- wait, what are you trying to do? Hey, stop!”
“What do you mean? I saw your underwear, so you want to see my underwear to humiliate me, right?”
“N-no, that’s not it!! Are you an idiot!? What are you thinking!! Stop it!!”
Eliza, her face red, grabbed Shion’s arm as he undid his belt and unhesitatingly reached for his zipper, trying to stop him.
“Let go, I can’t take off my pants like this.”
“Don’t take them off!! Are you stupid!! Stop it!!”
Shion trying to take off his pants, and Eliza desperately trying to stop him.
“Nnggh…”
Despite Eliza’s desperate resistance, Shion finished unzipping and was about to lower his pants.
But then,
“I said… stop!!”
“Guh!”
Immediately after, Eliza jumped and headbutted Shion’s forehead as he was slightly bent forward, looking down at his lower body.
“…Ugh”
Shion fell backwards, then dropped to one knee, holding his forehead with his right hand.
“~~~!!”
Eliza also crouched down, holding the top of her head with both hands.
“…What are you doing?”
Shion asked Eliza while holding his forehead, as if he couldn’t understand what had happened.
“That’s my line!! Are you an idiot!? What on earth are you thinking!!”
“What do you mean…? Didn’t you want to see my underwear?”
Shion questioned Eliza, who was shouting angrily with a bright red face, as if he had no idea why he was being scolded.
“Of course not!! You really are an idiot!!”
“Oh no… I’m sorry, I really thought you wanted to see my underwear…”
Shion apologized to Eliza with wide eyes, looking shocked after receiving further angry shouts.
“What kind of thought process do you have!! And stop saying ‘you wanted to see my underwear’! You’re completely treating me like a pervert!!”
“It’s okay, I don’t think you’re a pervert.”
“Of course not!! I’ll kill you!! Anyway, put your pants back on properly!!”
Shion, pointed out by the bright red-faced Eliza, put his pants back on properly, which had been completely unzipped and slightly lowered.
“What a shame, it’s a waste not to show you now.”
“Keep your shame to yourself!!”
“Well, that’s fine,” Shion said, and then asked the still angry Eliza.
“So, what exactly should I do to apologize?”
Eliza, still sitting down, gradually calmed down while breathing heavily “Hoo, hoo!” and stood up.
“I was thinking of making you grovel and lick the soles of my shoes, to crush your dignity even more than mine, but I’ve changed my mind. You’d probably do that without hesitation, and it wouldn’t even feel humiliating for you.”
“Kukuku, I wonder about that?”
“Shut up, don’t speak. After being treated so lightly, a simple apology won’t satisfy me anymore! I’ll beat you to a pulp, make you suffer thoroughly, and then make you understand the absolute power relationship by having you lick the soles of my shoes while crying.”
“(Oh no, I might cry soon)”
Eliza tilted her face slightly upward, directing a sharp gaze at Shion, and simultaneously pointed her index finger at him as if taking aim, declaring:
“As the Fifth-ranked at Crawford Magic Academy, Eliza Lowred. –I challenge you to a duel.”
