Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Reunions

The magic school in the Houou empire was not only intended to train young witches. Magical schools were also used as military training, magic research places, and many other things, related to magic.

Of the seven magic schools, Seiryuu Academy is the best-ranked (first) magic school.

Seiryuu Academy is a magical school for women. That means there are no men in this school. All teachers and staff are female. Even so, Seiryuu Academy was able to prove to be the strongest even though there was no man on their side. This is inseparable from the existence of Princess Victoria as a witch of the sacred elements and achievements she achieved.

But it is wrong if Seiryuu gets the best ranking because of Victoria's daughter alone. Many other young witches also have talent that is no less great than Victoria. It's just that they're not very flashy because Victoria's getting all the attention.

In this year's Battle War, Victoria returned as a participant for the third time. He wants to be champion three years in a row. His partner is a young man, but it's wrong to think he's a man. Just like Charlmilia used to be, she was a tomboyish woman who used magic to change her appearance.

The second place is Kinryuu Academy. Contrary to Seiryuu Academy, this school is a male-only school. Kinryuu Academy is known as an elite school. This was because most of the disciples were either children of nobles or someone who had a great position in the empire.

It is common knowledge that a witch's powers depend on her genetics or her parents (hereditary factors). It is not surprising that many argue that in terms of strength, Kinryuu Academy is superior to Seiryuu Academy.

And that's true. Every year in the Battle War, Kinryuu Academy would send participants with great power. Unfortunately, great power alone was not enough to defeat Victoria.

The rivalry between Seiryuu Academy and Kinryuu Academy was already famous. This year they are determined to stop Victoria's ambition.

The third and fourth ranked magic schools were Knight Academy followed by Shiryuu Academy.

As the name suggests, Knight Academy is more aimed at witches who someday want to become Knights. Most of the magicians who attended Knight Academy wanted to get a good career in the military later.

Knight Academy is divided into two divisions. The first division for User-type magicians and others for Contractor-type magicians. This is done because the two types have their own characteristics in fighting.

Most of the lessons are combat simulation and live combat. At this time two divisions will join and be required to work with other divisions.

In Battle War, Knight Academy would send participants who had the best fighting abilities. Interestingly, almost every year the participants from Knight Academy would work together to achieve one goal.

For Shiryuu Academy, it is a mixed school. The school is more focused on the development of magic. No wonder the type of magic used by Shiryuu Academy's disciples was more varied and stronger.

Unfortunately, in exchange for that fighting ability using Magic Arm and Magic Beast is not very effective.

In Battle War, participants usually consist of magicians with magic abilities above average. And because the fighting style was different from the other participants, the participants from Shiryuu Academy usually became the target first. Not because they are weak, but vice versa. The magic they use is usually magic with great destructive abilities. There are even rumors that to become a Battle War participant, they must master certain magic first.

The fifth rank is owned by Ginryuu Academy. The school is better known as a research place for magic technology. Many students have intelligence above average. And perhaps because many use the brain more than the muscles, it is only natural that combat abilities lose far from other schools.

It's just that, the participants of this school are quite wary because they often use tactics that are beyond expectations. Then they also use technology in combat like Automata and golems.

The sixth rank is Rairyuu Academy. The school is more focused on research into ancient magic and history. The main purpose of this school is to reuse the magic that has been lost. With a different vision that this school is also known as a school for strange people.

The battle abilities of Karyuu Academy's disciples could be said to be far inferior to others, but thanks to the ancient magic they learned, they could use magic that was so unique even though they were not S rank and above magicians.

And the lowest ranked school, Kuryuu Academy. This school was once one of the best schools. It's just that now it's nothing more than the past.

Because of its remote and remote location, this school has the fewest students from any other school. Most of the disciples were the children of commoners so the fighting ability could be said to be nothing special.

But in the history of Kuryuu Academy, many students with extraordinary abilities graduated from this school. Even they became Paladin-level magicians.

In this year's Battle War, participants attracted enough attention because one of them was the daughter of the strongest Paladin. But the partner is also no less interesting.

After all he was a figure known as the Witch Reaper.

A week had passed since Charlmilia had signed up. That means less than a week the third round of Battle War will begin.

From then on the city of Gehenna slowly began to change. Not only visitors are increasingly crowded because they want to see Battle War up close, but also the committee that prepares Battle War.

During this time security is tightened. There are parts of the city that are not allowed to be visited by civilians because of the existence of various important and dangerous magic tools.

All of these tools are nothing more than tools to smooth the course of Battle War later. Most of them are special shields and Battle War path recorders. This installation process is quite interesting to see even from a distance.

For the city of Gehenna which was the main seat of the Battle War stage audience, many new buildings were built to accommodate the visitors who came. Most of the buildings were built using magic, but there were also buildings built with the transfer process using magic tools.

This process is so fast, there is even a special team devoted to building the building. Within a week, buildings in the city of Gehenna doubled.

Unfortunately, although many build new buildings, it does not mean everyone can come to the city of Gehenna. The number of visitors is limited and more reserved for invited guests and the school that competes.

For Battle War participants themselves, most had already signed up. There are only a few couples who haven't. It was likely that they would register at the time when Battle War was about to begin.

Participants who did this were categorized as heart participants. This is normal considering that just by knowing the name, other participants can get information regarding weaknesses and strengths. The two weeks given to participants also gave time to investigate other participants and strategize.

Is correct. Battle War is indeed known as the 7th competition of magic schools, but for Battle War participants, this can be interpreted as war.

War to get what they want.

"Oh. I've never been to a floating island before. I wonder what's in there hmm.."

"Don't stand near a cliff like that, Merlin. You can fall."

The girl named Merlin just laughed a little and ignored the girl who warned him.

Merlin has a small body that makes him look like a child. A lollipop in his mouth adds to that impression.

Both of them were wearing warm clothes that were thick enough to add body-warming magic.

"Ehehe. But wouldn't it be more interesting to fall from a place like this?"

"Please don't joke! Really, until when are you gonna keep playing like this?"

"Come, Partner. You're being too serious. I don't play games anyway. As you can see for yourself, we're here to take a close look at the island of Avalon. This also includes work."

Their current location is the top of a volcano that is the main source of the hot springs of the city of Gehenna. Although it has not erupted for hundreds of years, but that does not mean the mountain is inactive.

They can smell the sulfur and hot air from the crater that is not far from them. There is a part of the mountain that is not filled with snow because it continues to melt.

"Well, at first I thought it was a good idea to take a close look at Avalon Island, too bad it didn't work at all."

Avalon Island is famous for its mysteries, but access to the floating island itself is limited by the government. It takes special permission to enter it, even if it is found that the punishment waiting is death.

Even after the previous research, there is no new information about the island of Avalon. There are only old maps and information about common things like plants and islands.

For all those reasons, using Avalon Island as the place where the Battle War took place was quite strange and unreasonable. This raises a new question, why does the government use the island of Avalon?

To find out the reason, Mitra and Merlin tried to find out by looking closely at the island of Avalon, but other than the committee who made preparations, there was nothing else to see.

"Well, we thought the island of Avalon was lower than this mountain, but it was higher than I thought. If you see results, we get new things like the view from here is quite interesting."

As far as the eye could see there was only white snow. It's not a pretty sight to see.

"Only a child is happy with a situation like this. Oh. I forgot, you're a kid."

Not only did Merlin look like a child, but he was indeed a child. Unlike Mitra who is 17 years old, Merlin is only 13 years old. He was categorized as a genius child in magic. This allowed him to pass through classes even following Battle War.

"Don't be arrogant because your chest size is bigger. I'm still in growth, so don't cry if you lose one day."

"Why do you always talk about breast size? Do you have a grudge against a man who has a big chest?"

"The big chest is the enemy."

The partner just sighed heavily. When thinking about what he should do, he remembered his friend who had a fairly large chest size.

Even though he hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, he had heard a lot of rumors about himself. The most surprising thing was that he was married and had two children. What's been going on all this time? How to have two children when the relationship has not been there for one year? He really makes Mitra astonished and amazed (in another sense).

But I don't know why this is not strange considering that he was a person who likes to damage the general sense even though he was not aware of it.

He knew that his friend was going to follow the Battle War this year. Like his promise before parting first, they were now rivals. Although they were currently in the same city, she had not been able to meet him due to being too busy taking care of the little ones.

"Hey look! It doesn't seem like we're the only ones with the thought of seeing Avalon up close."

Mitra turned her head in the direction Merlin was aiming at. There he saw 4 girls at the end of a hill not far from them. I don't know why they carry wooden planks with rectangular shapes.

He knew the faces of two of them, but he did not know the other two. The other one wears a mask, so he doesn't know what his face looks like.

(He always shows up where he shouldn't be)

"...what is he doing?"

Again he was surprised. When they saw them discussing deciding something, a strange thought appeared in Mitra's head.

And it instantly became reality.

The four girls just jumped off the cliff and used the wooden board as a skating device. You could say it was some kind of game or sport they were in.

For Mitra to do that in good weather is very appropriate, but why should it be from the top of the mountain as high as 4000 meters?

"Ahaha this is interesting. Partners, we're catching up with them."

Unfortunately, he has a friend who has the same hobby. In this case, he had no other choice.

"Why do I have such bad feelings about this."

Merlin with a wide smile jumped up first, and Mitra caught up with him. A slide from the ice appeared on both of their legs and then they glided.

The two quickly caught up with 4 other girls. Their opponents were surprised by the arrival of new competitors, but this made the atmosphere even hotter.

The girl wearing the mask changed her body position and quickly took the lead. Not only did he increase his speed, but he also moved by performing acrobatic movements as he passed through the snow mound.

Movement that is not human makes Mitra and Merlin amazed, but for other girls look ordinary as if he had guessed it could do. Not to be outdone, the other girls also increased their speed. One of them was emitting lightning all over his body. Then he shot like a bullet.

The other girl who had green hair didn't really care. He simply changed his body position and sped away. It was at this time that Merlin also imitated what they were doing.

The partner who saw that sighed. He looked at the tree in front of him and dodged it well. That's when he met one of his old friends.

"For a long time not seeing a partner."

"Next time, Laila. What are you doing?"

"Ah.we are in a match to determine who will sleep together with Ruko tonight. You know, they're pretty enthusiastic hehe.."

"Huh...?"

Mitra tilted her head in displeasure. It seems that Laila and her friends are doing silly things for ridiculous reasons.

"Ahaha.how about we talk later. Now how about we race who gets to the finish line first."

"All right.."

There is no specific reason for Mitra to do so, but she considers this an opportunity to play with friends she has not met for a long time.

But something he did not expect happened.

Laila created five fireballs and fired them at all the girls in front of her. They were also surprised just like Mitra, but they all just smiled broadly to accept the challenge.

After dodging, the blonde girl shot out a ball of lightning. Laila easily dodged and retaliated with the other fireballs, but with a larger amount.

In the end shooting each other with a high-speed glide became a frightening sight. Partners who did not want to be involved also received a shot from Laila.

The partners defend by creating snowballs, but other fireballs come.

"You're right.."

"It's a race, don't think I'll give up!!!"

Partners began to seriously respond to Laila, but at the same time they reached a cliff edge that was quite steep.

The lead shophouse unhesitatingly jumped in the air. Sometimes he does acrobatics. Unfortunately, it was at this time that he became an easy target by Charlmilia and Laila. The two without hesitation attacked Ruko with their respective attacks.

Unfortunately, as if he had been waiting for that, he jumped off his skateboard and spun in the air. That's when he kicked his second attack like a football.

Once again the non-human movement took them by surprise, but it was still easy for them to avoid.

"Hey, I don't want to miss you either."

Merlin who felt left behind also attacked. He created a ball of light directed at all his opponents. Even including Partners.

Everyone is evading, but all that is not enough. Merlin's attack suddenly changed direction and chased after them.

The girls had no choice but to fight the attack with the attack. Laila fires a fireball, Charlmilia shoots a ball of lightning, Mitra holds back with a ball of ice and Fila holds back with a ball of iron he created from the mountain ground.

For Ruko, she once again kicked the incoming attack. Not only that, he increased his speed and returned it to Merlin.

"Haha, that's nothing"

Merlin tried to hold back, but the attack went the other way. Towards a higher direction and produced a loud explosion on top of the mountain.

"Don't tell me...."

"Ruko, you're too much."

"He didn't give up at all. Oh my goodness."

"Ruko... "

"Huh..?!"

Each had a different reaction, but they had one thought in common. They're in danger if they don't hurry.

On that day, residents of the city of Gehenna and the Battle War committee were startled by the rumbling sound of avalanche on the volcano. As it was far from the settlement, no casualties were reported. All quickly returned to their respective activities as if they did not care so much what had just happened and what caused it.

The winner of the skating race is Ruko. Others failed due to buried avalanches. They are fine, but will take revenge on Ruko for the treatment they received.

Unfortunately, Ruko managed to escape by disappearing.

✡️✡️✡️

After returning to the inn, Laila and the others bathed in a warm bath outside the room. Although the baths were outside, there was a kind of magic shield that made it invisible from outside and also served as a banishment for the cold air from outside.

Most of the hot springs in the city of Gehenna use a system like this. That is what makes visitors feel a different sensation because they can take a bath while enjoying the scenery in winter.

"Yes my.. Ruko this time is really outrageous. If he comes home, I'll punish him."

While washing her body, Laila expressed her frustration at Ruko.

The buried avalanche was no big deal as she could easily come out by melting the ice with magic, but Laila was annoyed for different reasons.

"I heard that you guys are racing to determine who will sleep with her later. Maybe he doesn't like the decisions you take unilaterally."

Not far from him, Mitra also washed his body with warm water. A mole is seen on one of her breasts which makes her look sexy.

Not only Mitra who washed the body, Fila also still washed the body with a slow movement that made it look like a princess. For Charlmilia, he first entered because he wanted to play with Lic and Riku. Meanwhile Merlin was invisible because he was in a steam bath.

"Is that true? I knew she had slept and lived with another girl, so I thought this was no big deal. Besides, he's not the one who's gonna do anything weird to a guy who's not his wife."

Mitra tilted her head. He felt strange about everything Laila mentioned earlier.

There's something unnatural. He didn't know what it was, but everyone around him felt it was natural.

"Wait, who exactly is Ruko? I feel like I've heard his name. Is he a famous person?"

"Oh. You must have heard my husband's name."

"It's Kuro Kagami, right?"

Laila nodded in confirming. The news of him already having a lover and having children must have been widespread, so he did not feel strange if Mitra knew it.

"The shop is my husband. It's just that for some reason, she's now a woman. Well. don't worry, it's only temporary."

"Oh......huh?!"

Mitra was surprised like being struck by lightning. He knew Laila was not a person who could be measured using common sense, but this time he really thought Laila had crossed the line.

"Laila what are you really thinking?"

"Why? That's because Ruko is so sweet. Don't worry, I've taken her virginity."

"That's not what I meant. Eh? Virginity?"

Laila nodded innocently.

At that time Mitra's head thought hard how it could happen and how they did it.

His face was instantly flushed red and steam billowed on his head. A small laugh sounded like a broken cassette.

"Partner, don't think too much about it. You're gonna explode."

"I don't want to hear that from you."

Partner's mind has returned. He breathed deeply and tried to calm down.

"Laila, why don't you show Ruko's face to your friend? I'm sure he'll understand right away."

Fila suggested with a thin smile that made people think she was planning something. And after saying that, he went after Charlmilia and the others.

"Whatchu mean? Is she so pretty?"

No no no no. First of all, he must remember that Ruko is a man. He can't be tempted. Moreover, he is the husband of his best friend.

"Uhmm not really. It's just that if you see his face, you will lose control and will immediately try to attack him. My husband turned out to be a succubus."

"I don't really understand, but I do understand why she chose to run away from you."

Partners really stress facing people who have crossed the line. Is there a normal person here besides him?
