When asked by Miki to fight Ose in close combat, Wiji shook his head several times without confidence. It's fine! That demon shouldn't be able to move its legs properly from my attack just now. Besides, I'll be supporting it from behind. "Kuh... I understand. I don't want to run away without being able to do anything." "Please. Also, everyone uses magic, Wiji-kun, please stay away from that demon as much as possible." "Understood. I don't want to get involved." After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Wiji removed the Tsukiyozakura from his waist and took a position. "Uooo oh oh!" While screaming, Wiji ran towards Ose. At the same time, Miki moved slightly to the left to create a line of fire toward Ose, then fired a magic bullet with her left hand. It passed by the charging side of Wiji and headed for Ose. Seeing that, Ose raised his longsword like a shield to block the flying magic bullets. However, Wiji managed to get close to Ose safely in the gap. "Wow!" Wiji slashes at Ose with Tsukiyozakura. Miki on the other hand, looked at the students who were wondering whether to flee or fight, while preparing to support Wiji with magic bullets at any moment. 'Haa, I don't want to stand out like this, but this time, just this once...' Miki was embarrassed to raise her voice in front of the students, but Miki had no choice but to shout instructions to everyone to defeat the devil. "Everyone! His weakness is magic! If we all attack together, we can defeat him!" One of the students reacted to Miki's words. "But apart from Tashio-kun, the magician types here can only use low-level magic." "It's fine! Even if it's low-grade magic, if everyone attacks at the same time, the power will be many times greater." "Sure, if that's the case, I might be able to do something about it. I understand. Wiji-kun fights too, and I will as well." "I will do it too" "Me, too" "If everyone is doing it, so am I!" Among the students here, there are about ten types of magicians. The students appeared in front of the other students and prepared to cast their magic. "Tashio-kun, what are you doing? "M-my magic doesn't work against demons..." It seemed Tashio had lost his confidence from the shock of losing to Rei. 'It's better to have as many distractions as possible. I'll try to persuade him...' "You're the only one who can use advanced magic. With your advanced magic, you can save everyone!" "Only me!? That's right. I should be able to do advanced magic!" Tashio regained his motivation and prepared to cast his magic. Miki who saw him instructed another wizard-type student. "Okay, Wiji-kun will create an opening for us, so let's shoot them all at once!" Miki supported Wiji with the magic bullet in her left hand while concentrating purple magical power in her right palm for a special move. It was an enormous amount of magical power, but Miki compressed it as much as possible to make it smaller. Thanks to that, the students didn't realize how powerful that deep purple magic was. 'Okay, now I'm ready. After that...' Taking advantage of Ose's fight with Wiji, Miki shoots a demonic bullet from her left hand. It hit Ose's left knee and exploded. "Guah! Oh, my leg!" The magic bullet hit the same spot as the first time and Ose staggered. Wiji, who didn't miss the chance, slashed Ose's body. "Wow!" "Gyaaaa!" Wiji slashed his stomach, and Ose staggered even more. "Now! Attack!" Wiji rushed away from Ose screaming. "Brass Flame Murder!" "Surah Freeze!" "Windy Hula!" "Thunder Rumbold!" "Uooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I can't do anything! Flames!"The students who prepared magic simultaneously fired magic like fire and ice toward Ose. At the same time, Miki released a dark purple colored magic that was compressed and concentrated in her right hand. "Go! (Compressed magic bullet!)" Miki shouted the name of her special move in her mind. The compressed magic bullets flew toward Ose mixed with the magic fired by the students. On the other hand, Ose staggered, holding his longsword in front of him like a shield, trying to block the magic the students were throwing. The moment Miki's compressed magic bullet hit the longsword, the compressed magic exploded. "Gaaaaaaa!" The longsword was shattered by the explosion of the compressed magic bullet, and Ose's body was also badly damaged. As a result of the impact of the explosion, Ose's body was torn apart and fell to the ground, and just disappeared. "Are we doing that?" "The devil's presence has completely disappeared. It's fine now." The smoke from the explosion dissipated completely, and the students screamed in joy after confirming that there were no demons. "Wow! Yay!" "We have defeated the devil!" "Could my advanced magic beat him...?" The mage-type students were delighted, thinking that they were able to defeat the demons with their power. "Humph. Somehow I managed." Miki muttered with a relieved expression. Then walked towards Wiji, who was crouching behind a tree. "Wiji-kun. Are you okay?" "Oh, oh. It's okay..." Wiji answered with a pale face. Then, after adjusting my breathing and calming down a bit, Wiji started talking to Miki. "The devil just now is very powerful." "Her physical combat power is indeed extraordinary, but we were saved by becoming a low-level devil who is weak against magic." Miki said so and somehow cheated. Wiji feels uncomfortable with Miki's word "lower demon", but Wiji is too tired to think about it in depth. While Miki and Wiji were talking about that, Akiho, who was taking refuge behind, ran towards them. "Wiji-kun. Are you injured? Should we use recovery magic?" "No, I'm not hurt. I'm just a little tired. I'll recover in a bit." "Huh. It's fine." 'Wiji-kun has been fighting under the pressure of a high-ranking devil, so it seems his soul is shaken now.' Miki can confirm that Wiji is safe, so looks around. Then found Nakajima, who had been knocked over earlier, still lying down. "Akiho, please take care of the student council president. It looks like you strengthened your defenses when you were slashed by that demon, so I think you should be fine." "As expected of Miki-chan, realized that momentary defensive power-boosting magic. Leave the student council president to me!" Saying that Akiho ran towards the unconscious Nakajima. 'Haa, somehow I managed to hide my power and defeat a high-ranking devil, but I would never do something like instructing everyone out loud. Of course...' Miki, who hates standing out, makes a strong decision. There was an incident where two leopard high-level demons appeared at the same time, but the general public believed that one high-level demon had appeared and was defeated by the soldiers. So didn't make a big fuss, time passed normally and it was the next morning. Before the morning homeroom, Rei asked Wiji about the human world. "I want to know more about Japan's top ten." "What do you want to know about the Top Ten?" "Is Miki Kirishima in the top ten?"~~~~~~~"Eh? Miki-san? In our class?" Wiji was a little surprised when Rei suddenly asked if Miki from the same class was in the top ten. 'I've seen Miki Kirishima many times since I started being wary of him, but I can only feel human vibes from him. Moreover, even if I concentrate my mind and search for power, I can't see the basis of the magic power. strength.' Having not been able to measure the strength of his opponent until now, Rei thought that Miki might have the same strength as a god or demon king class since it was the highest demon lord. "Yes, Miki indeed used a slightly explosive magic technique before, but it wasn't enough to enter the top ten." "Is it true?" "In other words, no matter how strong your magical power is, neither Rei nor Miki-san will be in the top ten." "Hmm? Why?" "Because top ten means ten people with strong magical power among the Japanese warriors." 'What's this? That's a word I don't know. I'll look for it later.' Rei asked so many more
~~~~~~~The first hour of training on the simulated battlefield is about to begin. The first-year students had already gathered near the simulated battlefield on the school grounds. Rei and Akira joined there. "You've all gathered? Then who's going to do the sparring?" Wiji spoke to Sakura-sensei, who was looking at the list and trying to decide which students to compete with. "Sakura-sensei! There are two people full of motivation!" When Wiji asked Sakura-sensei to see the mock battlefield, Rei and Akira had already entered the magic circle and created ghosts. "Rei and Akira?" There were five simulated battlefields lined up on the school grounds, so five teams could be fighting at the same time, but Sakura-sensei thought that the battle between Rei and Akira was worth watching. "So you are going to fight with this body created with magical power? I see, the magic you fire with this body only works at this stage. Doesn't it work outside?" Akira looked at the letters in the mag
"What did you say!" "No matter how much a human fights, if you put this much power into it, people will doubt you!" Rei and Akira argue as they get into a fight that destroys the simulation battlefield. In the current human world, magic research was progressing, but fighting spirit research was barely progressing. That's why few people can use fighting spirit. However, even people who couldn't use a fighting spirit felt the fear and pressure from a strong fighting spirit, so just like Akira said, there was a high chance they would become suspicious. "I'm calm enough not to suspect anything. You're going too far, aren't you?" "You went too far first. I just had no choice but to match you." While the two were arguing, classmates gathered around Rei and Akira. "Wonderful! You guys!" "How did you do the final technique?" "Akira-kun, you are amazing!" The gathered students applauded the fight between the two. The students didn't seem to have any doubts about the current fight.
~~~~~~~The scene changes to Central Street in the downtown East District where the demon appears. The streets used to be bustling with shoppers, but now the roads were blocked and many demons and soldiers from the Magic Defense Army were fighting. "Hahaha, destroy all humans and buildings!" "Guooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The devils that appeared on this occasion were one Orias and twenty-eight Gison. Orias is one of Solomon's seventy-two pillar demons, and a high-ranking demon called the Marquis of Hell. Orias rides a white horse with the head of a lion and the body of a human. Gison is a demon under Orias and is known to the human world as a demon who spreads disease-causing germs, with bat wings and a bird's beak and claws on human bodies. "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" "There are too many of these people!" "Is there a delay to escape?" Twenty-one soldiers from the Magic Defense Army, who were in the military waiting room in the eastern district, rushed to this place and fought
~~~~~~~Miki knows that Rei has a hidden power like himself, but is curious how strong his full power is. 'Even so, there are a lot of demons. I wonder how he will fight.' The remaining demons are twenty-three Gison and one Orias. The Magic Defense Squad had managed to defeat five Gisons so far. 'If it was me, after defeating a low-level demon with superlative ranged magic, I would probably defeat a horse-riding demon with a compression magic bullet.' On the other hand, Rei who was being watched by Miki didn't notice her existence. 'no one around.' Rei looked around and visually checked if there were any humans around. Then focus your mind and explore the magical reactions around you. 'No magical reactions from anyone other than these people and the humans sleeping there.' When using flight magic before, Rei didn't notice that Raisa Kisaragi was nearby, so this time Rei carefully checked his surroundings. "What's wrong, human?" "..." "Do it quietly this time. Do it!" Or
"Hmm, isn't too many human resources going to the private sector? A strong magician should join the army or the police." Government officials don't seem happy with the current situation. A young government official answered. "Recently, it seems that private magicians receive high compensation for protecting VIPs from large companies, and it seems that it is difficult for the military and police to get superior human resources." In Japan, apart from Detective Blackblade, some great magicians are not members of the military or police. Some of them become employees of private security companies and work as bodyguards to protect themselves from demons that can appear from anywhere at any time. "It's all about the money in the end. It's sad." "In return, the man in this video has to fight to protect people." "Yeah. After defeating that demon, this guy seems to have disappeared." A high-ranking government official instructed everyone present. "Okay! Quickly analyze this video! Ide
~~~~~~~A car carrying Rei and the others arrived at the Magic Research Institute. The area around the Witchcraft Research Institute was a forest, and there were no other buildings nearby. Magical chemistry research might involve slightly dangerous experiments, so that counts. Sakura-sensei parked the car in an empty spot in the parking lot and everyone got out of the car. '...Hmm? After getting out of the car, things got a little easier.' Rei's face was still pale and his legs were almost unsteady from car sickness, but still tried his best to pretend to be calm. "Rei-kun, are you okay?" "Hah, no problem. We'll be entering the laboratory soon." Sakura-sensei and Akira were already walking toward the entrance of the research institute, so Rei headed for the entrance just in time. After that, Miki and Akiho started walking. 'Is this a human research institute?' When Rei entered the laboratory, there were two Magic Defense Force soldiers near the entrance and a woman at the
~~~~~~~Demon King Surt emitted a strong magical power from his entire body. Then, his brown skin turned black, and the clothes he wore turned into flames, and turned increasingly gigantic, reaching a height of nearly 2.5 meters. "First we will defeat you, then we will destroy the laboratory." Demon Lord Surt, clad in a formidable purple magical power worthy of being called a demon king and slashed at Rei with his flaming magic sword Laevatin. Rei managed to block the powerful attack with Rack Breaker. "Well, there's no way... that..." Sakura-sensei took a few steps back after seeing the magical power of Demon Lord Surt, far surpassing any high-level demons had ever felt before, and then crouched down on the spot. “Different from the demons I have seen so far…” Miki muttered as she saw Demon King Surt's true magic power. Miki feels that Demon King Surt is not an opponent he can fight while hiding his strength. "Miki-chan. It's the Demon King." "Huh? Demon Lord?!" Akiho tells
