Rei Amatsu - Hero Of The World

Chapter 5 - Great Duke of Hell Flauros

~~~~~~

Sakura-sensei noticed that the smartphone in her pocket was ringing.

"Sorry. Please wait a moment."

Sakura-sensei started talking by operating her smartphone.

"Hello... Huh! High-level devil?"

Sakura-sensei spoke to the other party on the phone in a louder voice. The surrounding students clamored when they heard the words “High-level devil”. Humans categorize the demons that appear in the human world today into two categories: low-level demons and high-level demons.

"Yes... yes, I understand. I'll be right there." Sakura ended the call.

"Everyone, I apologize for canceling this training. A high-ranking devil has appeared in the central district."

"Central district! Isn't it next door!"

Raisa was surprised that a demon of high rank appeared near her. Mizuno no Kagami Magic School is in the West District, and the Central District is next door.

"Right now, it seems the Magic Defense Force soldiers on patrol are fighting alone, so I have no choice but to go and support them. Everyone, please evacuate to the school."

"Sakura-sensei."

"You can't! You can't bring students into battle with high-level demons, can you? Raisa, please lead everyone with Nakajima and flee to the school. It's a good role too."

"...understand"

"Okay, let's go."

Sakura-sensei emitted purple magic power from all over her body, put it on, and activated flight magic.

"Flying Refly!"

After Sakura-sensei's body slowly floated into the air and rose about ten meters, Sakura-sensei then flew towards the central district.

"Oh! It's flying magic!"

"Amazing, I'm seeing it for the first time!"

Flight magic was a fairly advanced magic that only a few people in Japan's top ten could use.

"All right! We're going back to school!"

Nakajima took the lead and went to school with all the students from the first-year group. Later, Rei talks to Wiji on a forest path as students return to school.

"I have a business, so I'll make a detour before heading home."

"Rei? Where are you going to stop in the current situation?"

"Wait a moment..."

'Ah, toilets?'

"Okay. Come back to school as soon as possible."

"Ah"

'Sakura-sensei herself will have a hard time facing high-level demons. May I help?'

With that in mind, Rei took a different path from the other students and took a different course of action.

"Hmm? Rei-kun, where are you going?"

Raisa, who was at the back of the line, realized that Rei was acting alone and followed her so Rei didn't notice.

"Will it be all right around here?"

When it stopped on a forest road with no one around, Rei then emitted purple magic from all over his body and put it on.

"If I had angel wings, I wouldn't need to use magic like this..."

“Flying Refly!”

Rei's body slowly began to float in the air... but soon dropped to the ground.

"Oops. I don't know where that high-ranking demon appeared."

Sakura-sensei said it was the central district, but Rei didn't know where it was.

"Would you like to return to the practice field and continue in the direction Sakura-sensei is headed?"

"Hmm. Rei-kun. You can also use flight magic."

Raisa appears from behind a tree far from Rei, approaches Rei, and talks to him.

"Oh no. You found me!"

Even if it was the state of one's body if it was the sign of a hostile demon, Rei could notice it immediately, but Rei couldn't see where someone was except to concentrate his mind and look around.

"You're going to a high-level demon, aren't you?"

"Uh, uh..."

"Fufufu. I didn't come to stop Rei-kun. I will come with you."

"Muh, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. If you don't leave quickly, the teacher will be in danger. If you want to leave, let's hurry."

"Understood" Rei reluctantly agreed.

"Then give me a ride on your back!"

"Huh?"

"Vehicles, support!"

Risa urged Rei with a smile.

"I can't use flight magic, so I have to ask Rei-kun to take me."

"...understand"

Rei went in front of Raisa and crouched down with his back to her. And then Raisa climbed onto Rei's back.

"Let's go"

Rei stood with Raisa on his back and slowly started to float.

"Oh no! It's a close-up show, so it's okay if you're a little shy."

"Huh? Did you say something?"

"No, let's go faster than that. The central district is over there."

Rei and Raisa flew towards the central district.

The scene changed to the sky above the central district.

"I found it! There!"

Sakura-sensei, who was flying towards the place where the demon had appeared, found a place where the smoke was billowing and rushed there. It was a street in the city, where a huge demon with a sword was fighting a Magic Defense Force soldier wearing a black camouflage uniform, helmet, and bulletproof vest.

"Shit! My magic isn't working. Then how about this!"

The soldier pointed the assault rifle on his back at the demon and started shooting. However, the demon spread a red physical barrier in front of its body like a wall to block the assault rifle bullets that were fired one after another.

"Is this a human weapon? No big deal."

“Kuh, at this rate…”

Just then, Sakura-sensei landed next to a soldier who was fighting demons. A wounded soldier lay nearby.

"Hey, Sakura-san!"

"I'm here to support you"

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it"

Sakura feels the magic from the fallen soldiers and confirms that they are still alive.

"Leave this to me, take this soldier, and retreat."

"Excuse me. I'll leave this to you."

The soldiers knew about Sakura-sensei because Japan's top ten appeared on TV and appeared in magazines. So they obediently followed Sakura-sensei's words.

"The main army will be arriving soon. Please endure him until then!"

"Accepted!"

The soldier picked up the fallen soldier and left this place in the jeep parked nearby.

'By the way, the magical power I feel from him is more than three times mine. How far can I go against high-level devils alone...'

Sakura-sensei pulled out Kaminari Yaiba from her waist and took a stance, facing the demon in front of her.

"Hmm, better than before has arrived. My name is Flauros. The Grand Duke of Hell, Flauros, is me!"

Grand Duke Flauros of Hell is a high-ranking demon with the face of a red panther and the body of a human. Flauros is a warrior-type skilled in swordsmanship, and a demon known in the human world as one of Solomon's seventy-two demons.

"Gufufu, how fragile is the magical power I feel from you? Is it human-level?"

"Hmph!

Sakura-sensei wrapped thunder in thunder and attacked Flauros.

“Lightning Slash!”

Sakura-sensei released a lightning slash. Flauros easily took the slash with his sword. Sakura-sensei, who was prevented from attacking, stepped back to gain some distance.

"Gufufu, is that the case?"

'Kuh, as expected of a high-ranking devil. Then why don't I try it?'

Sakura-sensei raised her sword with her right hand, released purple magic power from her left hand, concentrated it, and attacked. Then activate the magic with your left hand before entering the range of Flauros' sword.

"Thunder Flash Raise Bolt!"

Sakura-sensei fired a bundle of lightning from her left hand. Flauros held his sword forward to block advanced lightning magic. As the lightning struck the sword, it scattered and made Flauros lose his sight. Meanwhile, Sakura-sensei drew closer to Flauros and shot a lightning slash at his side.

“Lightning Slash!”
