Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Two Better Than One

"Laipa... Laila.. Is there something wrong? Why are you dumbass?"

"Emm. sorry. I just thought of something after hearing that name."

It was an unexpected reaction Kuro recalled this was only the first time he had mentioned the name.

"Something?"

"Yes. You could say a kind of similar feeling when you're experiencing deja vu. It's weird, but I've never heard that name before."

Kuro's other unexpected reaction was that Laila was so calm or seemed to take the name as a matter of course. Considering it was the name of the person who had made contact with Kuro, it was a little strange.

Kuro smiled and randomized Laila's hair.

"Why did you do it?" Said Laila who was irritated because her hair was a mess.

"It's not what. I seem to have failed to make you jealous?"

Laila suddenly frowned and puffed her cheeks. Really sweet.

"Muuu.. You want me to be jealous? After seeing all the women close to you, should I be jealous again? I think I've been too jealous."

Kuro smiled slightly.

Laila's right. If she wanted to make Laila jealous, she had to do something more. In addition, Laila is now not a teenager who is in puberty. He is calmer in the face of problems.

Laila then turned her head back on Kuro's thigh.

"....sorry for reminding yourself of him."

"It's okay. You should know my past. But fate is really strange. Do you remember what I said?"

"About 'destiny is not among us?'"

Kuro nodded.

"If you remember that, I'd love to hit myself. Well..but how else, at that time I still can't forget Arisa."

"My life wasn't in vain, was it?"

"Yes. You made me fall in love again. But I ask you never once did you ask me to choose between you. That's the least I can do in the world."

"..."

Laila just went silent. This was only the first time Kuro had asked for something seriously and was filled with emotions.

Laila knew in her deepest heart that Kuro still could not take away her memories and love for Arisa. Since he had Alice's memories, then he understood what Kuro was feeling.

But in her deepest heart she felt annoyed at herself for being pleased, no, it was more appropriate to be relieved when she heard that Arisa was dead.

(I won't ask you. I'm afraid you'll choose him over me, Kuro)

That's why Laila couldn't imagine, if Arisa were still alive, would Kuro love her as she is today?

(I'd better change this sad topic. Otherwise I'll cry again)

They use the room to make fun and combine love. It is not time to talk about something that makes the heart hurt.

"Kurou!"

Laila woke up. And that surprised Kuro.

"Y-yeah, what's up Laila?"

"Kuro, you know I'm end-of-life interested in dancing, right?"

"That's why you spend more time with other people than I do."

Kuro could not hide his irritation.

Although Scarlet and Lia are looking after their child, Laila sometimes seems to forget both of them and do something she never did before.

One of them is dance.

"What if I dance for you?"

Kuro did not immediately reply, but he nodded happily.

She understood Laila's goal in practicing dancing was to entertain herself. Perhaps because Kuro was always fighting, he rarely paid attention to small things like this.

That's why she couldn't help the happiness she felt when she found out how much Laila had done for her sake.

And that was how Kuro enjoyed a private dance performance from his wife before they blended the already unstoppable love and passion.

Laila's dance was eventually named Erotic Maid (Wife) Dance.

♦️♦️♦️

The next day, the Tribal exam or the selection for the Battle War participants finally entered the intermediate round. It was called that because today was a fight between disciples who managed to escape after fighting twice.

Each grub now only 8 pairs of participants. Today's fight will determine the semi-final participants who will fight tomorrow.

At the grub A battleground, the arena felt so tense because of the spirit of the 2 couples who were ready to fight.

Or just one of them. In contrast to their opponents, Kuro as usual was so relaxed.

"Kuro, don't yawn. We're gonna fight. It's disrespectful to your opponent."

"I don't have any other choice. It's your own fault for forcing me too much. I think in terms of technique at night you're superior to me."

"Who!! I-I just want to do my best. Don't call me a pervert just because I serve you well. You should be grateful to have an understanding wife like me."

"Yes yes.."

Laila's face flushed. He heard something he didn't want. But he was glad his hard work was acknowledged.

"Sister Alva, do you think they underestimated us?"

"No. We know they're the serious type when the time comes. Even so, they showed no gaps at all."

Their opponents, Alva and Alvi analyze the strength of Kuro and Laila before the fight begins.

Although in their hearts they knew the power of Kuro and Laila was on a different level to that of ordinary magic school students, yet after sensing it up close, both of them realized their strength was beyond what they had imagined.

"But that's the kind of Kuro we know. "

"Un!!"

The fighting spirit of both increased.

"This is our chance to show that it's not just them who are getting stronger. Alvi, we don't have to hold back."

"I know it!"

The countdown time begins. And it becomes a sign for both partners to immediately fight.

""

""

The first to move were Alva and Alvi. The two summoned their Magic Arm and started the fight.

Alva shot forward like a bullet to Laila and Kuro. If you remember yesterday's fight, Alva's speed is faster as if yesterday's fight was just a game.

Unlike the previous day's fight, Alva and Alvi decided not to care too much about the crystal's condition. In other words, they attacked in an exhausted manner.

Just like the two of them, Kuro and Laila did not care much about the crystal, but Laila added reinforcement magic so as not to be easily destroyed. Not by the strength of the opponent, but by his own strength.

Alva attacked with a pretty dangerous opening strike.

"Sacred Magic Art "

A huge wave three meters high appeared and prepared to sweep over Laila and Kuro.

"Sartoflare."

Laila summoned her Magic Arm with a number of about 50 and in the blink of an eye fused into a huge sword of 10 meters. This was one of Laila's Sacred Magical Art, Giganflare.

Laila swung the sword and easily split the waves, not only was the water that touched Laila's sword instantly evaporated.

"Tch!"

Alva jumps back to avoid Laila's attack in the form of a fireball that he created after successfully dispelling Alva's attack.

Not just one, but dozens and increasing. The great sword Laila used also arrived back into small sword fragments that attacked Alva like a controlled weapon.

"Avi!!"

"I'm done. The Sacred Magic Art..-"

The magic pressure was so strong from the large amount of magic energy. Then he dedicated the magic art he prepared.

But he did not direct his attack at the two, he pointed it at the sky.

""

A gigantic magic circle appeared in the sky filling the entire battle arena. Then, snow started to fall in the middle of the arena.

Laila smiled. The cold was indeed quite dangerous for a fire element magician like himself, but that was not enough.

"I don't know what you're doing with that, but-"

Laila created a fireball of 5 meters, 10 meters, and finally 15 meters so that it was like a small sun. He then unhesitatingly threw it towards the gigantic magic circle in the sky.

Laila's goal is predictable, she intends to destroy Alvi's magic.

"Eh?"

With the amount of magic energy he used to create that fireball, it should be enough to destroy Alvi's magic, but reality says otherwise when the two attacks collide and end up leaving only Alvi's magic.

This was far beyond Laila's expectations. It's only natural that he's surprised.

"It's not over!! My attack was not just that!!"

From the magic circle dozens of ice spears were created and instantly fell towards their targets, Laila and Kuro.

"Kuh!!"

Facing that, Laila created an equal amount of fire spears and shot them towards the incoming ice spears.

But it was at this point that Alva appeared near Laila and attacked.

"....you're off guard!!"

"No. You're still too slow."

With a loud clashing sound, Alva's attack was successfully resisted by Scarflare who suddenly appeared.

Alva did not give up and tried to attack with the spear technique he had trained along with incredible speed. Not only that, he also used martial arts such as kicks and punches, but everything could be held back.

"Not bad, but not enough!!"

"Tsk!!"

Alva could not help but bite her lips, she did not expect that all of her attacks would be easily repelled by Laila's sword. And even more annoying, Laila is not holding a gun at all. He only controlled Scarflare easily and in considerable numbers.

And even more amazing, he did all that while focusing on replying to Alvi's attack.

Alva then retreated and regrouped with Alvi.

"He's too strong. I didn't expect the difference between us to go this far."

"Sister Alva, you're aware, right?"

Cold sweat flowed from his second temple.

"I knew. After all those attacks we haven't managed to get them moving from their place. And Kuro hasn't even drawn his sword at all."

Too powerful. Their enemies this time were too strong.

But they already know, this is not surprising. Unfortunately this did not apply to the audience and other students who came to watch.

"We have no other choice, we use it. Although it's faster than I thought, but it's not a problem."

"Un!!"

The two then exchanged their magic arm for each other. This was quite a shocking action for all who saw it.

It was common knowledge that magicians swapping their magic arm at others would experience rejection even if their owners already allowed it.

But despite knowing that, the two did not seem to hesitate at all.

"Laila, be careful. Are they serious?"

"Your? So you're aware of it too?"

"I knew from the beginning."

Unlike the audience, Laila and Kuro already knew this would happen.

""<>""

The two called out the name of the new magic, along with that the magic pressure both increased to blow the air around them.

Laila started to worry as she felt the pressure of the two of them. The pressure of the two was too different that it made him feel against two different people.

""Forward!!""

Both are moving simultaneously. Their speed exceeded the speed they had unleashed earlier. Then coupled with the movement that is so synchronized, both are like a storm that can not be guessed.

Laila and Kuro also started to get serious. Laila started to grasp Scarflare, and Kuro also drew his sword. But not Lic, but a black sword.

In an instant the sound of metal clashing sounded around Kuro and Laila. The two were busy fending off all the attacks of Alva and Alvi which were so fierce and fast.

Laila endured all the attacks and at the same time she used magic to melt the snow and warm her body.

Then in contrast to Laila, Kuro did nothing and just focused on defending and fending off all attacks.

"I know you're not serious yet."

"Don't just keep on holding on, if it's like it's going to keep getting bigger and just wait for time until we hit you."

Laila and Kuro are not hooked. Both of them were still keeping an eye on his second technique which was so incredible.

But what is remarkable is the Alvi bow (Alvairz) which is used like a sword. By channeling magic energy to create ice sword blades. Of course it wasn't strong enough, so the Alva added reinforcement magic and at the same time used magic to regenerate the blade that was damaged from colliding with his second sword.

Apart from being like a sword, Alva also occasionally shot arrows, but in small numbers and small sizes. The attack had a small impact, Alva hoped to hurt Kuro and Laila even if only a few, but both were able to fend off all that easily.

"Brake!!!"

"Kurou!!"

""If you're still not serious, we'll force you!!""

Both stopped their attacks. The two kept their distance and quickly jumped up. Not just one jump, but by condensing ice around, they used it as a foothold to ascend into the sky beyond the magic of Alvi who had created a blizzard.

"Avi!!"

"Sir Alva!"

Alvi throws Alva's spear (Alviarz) up and lets it spin in the air. He then joined Alva.

""Alvairz, Transform!!""

Alvi (Alviarz) arcs suddenly become large to exceed their height. Alva just pulled the bowstring to its limit, while Alvi held her bow while in the air.

A moment later, Alva's spear (Alviarz) comes back down right on the bowstring.

The magic pressure again increased along with the air pressure getting colder. The shield protecting the audience began to freeze.

At this moment, everyone knows. Something big is going to show up.

""Union Sacred Magic Art, Prison Forest of Hell ""

The two without hesitation shot arrows (spears) through the giant magic circle and fused with the magic of the two.

The temperature quickly became cold freezing everything until it spread throughout the arena. But it was only the beginning, the main attack was on Kuro and Laila and no one could stop it.

In an instant an ice forest was created throughout the arena. Everything freezes into ice. Arena, even the shield became ice.

The audience could not hide their surprise. They thought of one thing in common, this was not the magic art possessed by a magic school disciple.

Alva and Alvi land on the twig of one of the ice trees. Both of them looked lethargic and tired from using high-level magic arts.

"I don't think this is enough."

"Yeah, they won't lose just because of this."

Both know. Even though they used high-level magic arts, it was not enough to defeat the two.

Moreover both of them still felt the magic pressure from Laila being so strong.

Then not long after, a flash of reddish light appeared between the trees. The ice tree fell down with a loud noise.

From where it fell, a girl appeared by dragging a man in her hand. And for some reason, the girl looked irritated.

"I didn't think you'd choose to take their attack. Are you out of your mind?"

"Sorry, I'm daydreaming!"

"What is your defense? Quickly seriously. It's not gonna be easy."

"Yes yes."

Kuro and Laila return to the fight. Simultaneously, the shield recovered and the audience was again seen.

The audience cheered with admiration. They are racing to encourage students who show an extraordinary fight. For them this kind of battle had never happened except in an emergency. Unfortunately, they will all be told to evacuate rather than watch.

"City."

"Kurus..."

Kuro smiled.

"I'm so happy that you guys have been able to do this so far. To be honest, I was very surprised. You have successfully harnessed your powers as twins. And this proves that everyone's assumption of twins is a mistake."

Twins born of witches were once said to be symbols of misfortune. This is because magic is the embodiment of the soul. If twins are symbols of a soul separated into two parts, at the same time people assume that the magic power is also separate.

The case in the Alva and Alvi family becomes a real example in that regard. Although the two did not tell her about their families, they told Kuro everything that bothered their minds so easily. This was proof of how trusting they were to Kuro.

"So there's still such an old-fashioned mind."

Laila heard that for the first time instantly understood. He doesn't need an explanation, but he understands why Alva and Alvi are so clingy to Kuro.

"Kuro, we don't think about all that anymore. Thanks to our teacher, we understood that it was just a stupid thought. Our soul and body may have once been one. We were frustrated at first because we thought it was a failure, but we decided to destroy all that thinking."

"After all, as the saying goes"

""Two is better than one!!!"" Alva and Alvi said with her comp.

The words of the two left the audience dumbfounded. They don't really understand what they're saying, but most know it's cool. That was enough to make the audience side with them.

".....Finally you understand too.."

Kuro did not hide his wide smile.

"Kuros?"

"Ah. no. I'm just glad to see they can finally step forward."

"That's all thanks to you, Kuro."

"Because of that, we want you to be serious. Think of this as our final test."

Hearing that, Kuro scratched the back of his head.

"Laila, what do you think?"

"We promised not to destroy the arena because the repairs would be annoying, but I think we should make an exception for both of them. Besides, I can see your fighting spirit is no longer held back."

Kuro just smiled. His hands were trembling, but not out of fear. He was currently impatient to fight against the two.

"...But this time let me fight them. "

"""Eh???"""

Not only Kuro, Alva and Alvi were also shocked.

"This doesn't mean I underestimated you. Unfortunately, I feel that Kuro will hold back if it goes against you. Aren't we?"

"Why do you think that." Kuro replied while glancing in the other direction.

Ignoring Kuro, Laila looked towards the two.

"Do you mind?"

"No. Quite the contrary, we'll take this as an opportunity."

"And to enliven this, what if we win you'll let us be Kuro's second wife?"

Laila was silent and did not answer. Then he smiled..

"Just do it if you can. I thought you guys were arrogant."

Laila's upset. It was very visible from his expression.

He then created dozens of fire spears aimed at the two. Alva and Alvi dodge by moving agilely between the ice trees. At the same time they called out their magic name again.

And just like before, the two exchanged their magic arm.

"I don't know what you're planning, but it's not enough."

Laila advanced by jumping between the branches of the ice tree. Every time he stepped, the ice tree would evaporate because of Laila's hot body.

He called Scarflare in both hands and threw one of them at Alvi. He then targets Alva who uses Alvi's bow as a weapon.

"Laila, that's a good tactic. But at the same time it was a mistake."

Kuro who could only be a spectator decided to look at the fight from afar. He was also on guard if anything untoward happened to his crystal.

In terms of strength he was not too worried, but his opponent was a technique type. That's the type that doesn't fit Laila. And of all that, the most important thing is that Laila's opponent is a little special.

""

"!?"

Laila was struck by something unexpected. Alva who was supposed to hold Alvairz changed to Alviarz. They used teleportation techniques. With that he finally resisted Laila's attack.

Then at the same time, arrows rained down on Laila from the sky. Laila held back with a small fireball. But in the moment of his attention he is seen getting a deadly kick from Alva.

"Kuh!!"

Alva came back to attack. He didn't let Laila take a breath even a little.

"Why are you tired?"

"Of course not. It's just warming up."

"Oh, we're thinking the same thing."

Everyone was smiling with a high fighting spirit. And for some reason, there was a hidden aura of hostility.

If you see their relationship as friends and rivals, this feels natural.

Laila created dozens of Scarflare that floated around her body. And with that, he attacked Alva and Alvi like guided missiles. If looking from afar, Laila was currently like a sword dancer.

His opponents, Alva and Alvi also do not want to lose. Each time the Alva attacked, the Alvi would come in support with long-range attacks such as ice arrows or ice spears. Even sometimes he creates an active trap when Laila is in a certain place.

Facing the two Laila could not hide her difficulties. Alva and Alvi's attack can be said to be not too fatal for Laila who has a large magic energy, but Laila wants to fight with minimal injuries.

And though he was troubled, yet this was already within his calculations. From the beginning he realized that two to one was indeed harmed.

Then should he call Kuro? He won't do it. It was the same as pulling his own spit.

So what should he do? Simple, he only had to use the Magic Art that he stored.

"Sadia!"

Following Laila's orders, the Scarflare flying around him began to move in an orderly formation. This time they flew at high speed intending Laila as the center.

""

Laila shot Scarflare at a speed that could not be equated with the previous attack. His speed even exceeded the speed of a bullet.

Alva and Alvi find out that this time it is their turn to be hunted. The two quickly used the speed-enhancing magic once again, and did not forget the magic to increase their concentration and eye abilities.

As a result, they were able to dodge at a thin distance, but they were completely unable to respond to the attack. Then if they wanted to survive, their magic would definitely be destroyed because what they were holding was not magic bullets or attacks made from magic energy, but magic arm.

"He's a cheat!!"

"Oh shit! He's increasing the speed of his attack."

Both are panicking. Laila's attacks are getting faster and faster. Simultaneously a loud explosion occurred throughout the arena grounds.

Alva several times managed to fend off Laila's attacks, but she was in a loss of strength so she was pushed back. Alvi can't do much. Every time he attempted to attack, Scarflare's bullet would instantly stop him before successfully unleashing an arrow.

Both are in unfortunate circumstances. Especially if looking at the difference in magic energy possessed, a long-term fight would only harm their side.

"Alvi, we use our trump card. We'll beat them even if it's just Laila."

"Un!"

The two rejoin. Alva fends off the incoming attack, and Alvi uses the opportunity to release the magic art.

""

A hail of ice arrows struck Laila, yet she did not seem to care at all. He re-created Scarflare with more numbers.

Dozens of Scarflare then formed a ball formation. And that's when the arrows hit, unfortunately everything melted into steam.

""

Laila decided to end the fight this time. He already understood the extent of their strength developing, but when compared to Laila's opponents all along, they were still categorized as opponents of teri.

(I hope you guys put in more effort)

Laila closed her eyes, at the same time Scarflare who had been devastated by using Re; Break turned into a firestorm that burned everything around her. Laila used one of Scarflare as her controller as well as her center.

This firestorm was so hot that it melted all the ice created by Alva and Alvi before. Not only that, the cold air that appeared because of winter was now changed by warm air as if the season had changed.

"I'm sorry, but you guys are still too early to enter the same stage as us, Sacred Magic Art "

Without hesitation Laila shot a firestorm towards the two. No matter what was in the way, everything burned as the firestorm touched it.

Such a powerful attack would kill both of them under normal conditions, but thanks to the special uniform and magic used in the test this time, Laila did not have to worry about all those problems.

Then, what happened next was a big explosion that was not inferior to an earthquake. Everything shook and the shields cracked, causing the committee to panic over the difficulty of maintaining the shields.

The fight ended because the two were unable to continue the fight. At least that was what Laila had expected with her attack earlier, but reality said otherwise.

Both still stand.

"... It looks like I should change my thinking about you guys is just an ordinary anchovy."
