“To me, it didn’t matter whether I won or lost this duel… But no, it’s not your fault for not admitting defeat.”
“…”
Despite Eliza’s angry outbursts, Shion remained calm, but suddenly his gaze became intense as he spoke.
“No matter how badly beaten you are, how much stronger your opponent is, or how hopeless the situation seems—as long as you don’t give up, it’s not over.”
“…”
There was an unusual weight to his words.… Read more

For Shion, “Limit Accel” was precisely that magic for which he had an aptitude.
However, saying he could simply “use high-level magic due to innate aptitude” might make it sound extremely fortunate.
Indeed, it was fortunate, but the process by which he mastered “Limit Accel” was by no means easy.
Aware that his magical talent was below average, he had been searching for a magic that suited him since childhood.
To acquire at least one magic in which he wouldn’t lose to others.… Read more

As Shion ran around the arena, looking for an opportunity to advance towards Eliza, she would instantly cause the ground in front of him to explode with her magic, forcing Shion to retreat hastily.
Their battle appeared to be a series of advances and retreats, with Shion running in circles, attempting to move forward only to be forced back, then resuming his circular path.
However, the tide of battle was gradually turning in Eliza’s favor.… Read more

Chapter 7: Academy Rank 5 vs. C-Class Magic Student
Two students stand in the Fifth Arena of Crawford Magic Academy. Shion Ichinose, a second-year C-class student, faces Eliza Lowred, also a second-year and the academy’s fifth-ranked student.
In the Fifth Arena, open for students’ self-training after school, both wear combat uniforms similar to those used in mock battle classes.
Shion, who hasn’t yet finished the chores assigned by their homeroom teacher Restia, accepted Eliza’s duel challenge earlier, thinking, “If it satisfies Eliza,” to quickly resolve the matter.… Read more

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
