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.… Read more

Chapter 6: The Dark Destruction God
After school on the day of the practice match, Shion was helping his homeroom teacher, Restia, prepare for her class.
Restia had asked Shion to “go fetch some equipment for the class experiment.” He was now standing in front of the equipment storage room where the instruments were kept.
Shion unlocked the door with the key borrowed from Restia and entered the storage room, mentally reviewing the list of equipment and quantities he needed to prepare.… Read more

Chapter 5: Practice Match
In the fourth training room of Crawford Magic Academy, the students of Class 2-C, where Shion Ichinose was enrolled, were conducting practice matches.
During these matches, students wore combat attire different from their usual uniforms.
These combat suits were imbued with anti-magic properties, serving as protective gear against magical attacks and reducing damage from direct hits.
The purpose of these practice matches in class wasn’t to defeat the opponent but to hone magical control techniques in a practical format.… Read more

“Huh… A student? Just… a regular one?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Everything I said before was a lie.”
“Hmph… well, whatever. It doesn’t really matter.”
Though she seemed a bit confused by Shion’s response, she quickly brushed it off with a “If you say so, then I guess that’s how it is.”
“Well then, Shion. Thanks for today. I guess I’ll give you a little bit of my gratitude.”
With those words, the girl quickly turned on her heel and walked away into the street without looking back.… Read more

“Oh… oh…”
It was the plain truth. Shion was quite deflated by the woman’s pointed observation that cut right to the core, but he tried not to show it on his face as he responded to her.
“…Hmph. If you have that much energy, you seem fine. Well then, I’ll be going. …Be careful on deserted night roads from now on.”
“What!? Wait a minute!! Leaving a delicate lady in a place like this, I question your sanity!!… Read more

Shion had simply created a sword using “Weapon Creation” magic because the man approaching him was holding a short sword, thinking he might have a chance if it came to a sword fight.
By the way, the weapon creation that Shion performed is a relatively low-level magic among those of the same type, and can only create swords of very fragile strength. Also, normally there wouldn’t be any pitch-black lightning like earlier, but Shion was just using a separate lightning attribute magic just to look cool.… Read more

However, behind Shion stands a person trembling with fear. Beyond his back, there’s someone who needs help.
Someone who, if he doesn’t save her, will meet a cruel fate and be killed mercilessly.
“(Escaping is — absolutely not an option)”
From the start, he never even considered the choice of abandoning the woman behind him and fleeing.
But, that said, he has no way to defeat the men in front of him.
Even before the question of defeating them or not, Shion has no means to defend against the “Flame Shower” that’s about to be unleashed.… Read more

Chapter 4: Red Eyes, the Deadly Blade
In a dimly lit ghost town lined with abandoned factories, a shadowy figure ran, gasping for breath. It was a woman, her hood pulled low, concealing her eyes.
She swung her arms and legs with all her might, running desperately forward as if fleeing from something.
“N-No way…”
Turning a corner to escape the gaze behind her, she darted into an alley. Mercilessly, it led to a dead end.… Read more

Chapter 3: Journey to the Royal Capital
In the same week as the regular exams at the Magic Academy.
Sion was visiting the royal capital on a weekend holiday.
From Ragatia, the western city of the kingdom where the academy is located, it’s about a two-hour ride by magic-powered train to reach the royal capital.
On this day, there was an exhibition of magic-related products for magicians and merchants held once every six months at a venue in the royal capital.… Read more

Restia always conducts her classes sincerely and very enthusiastically.
When asked about the class content after the lesson, she looks very happy that someone has shown interest in her class.
Even if most students aren’t listening to the class, she never cuts corners and strives to make the content easy to understand, interesting for students, and engaging.
She doesn’t just read from the textbook and write on the board, but actively incorporates experiments using real plants in her classes.… Read more
