Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

5. Attack

Fila Ariant's.

Laila Alein Fortisillein's.

Blacksmith and S rank magician.

These two beautiful girls stared at each other in the other direction with annoyed faces in a break room on the 4th floor of Sirei mall.

Under the feet of Laila there are 10 bags containing shopping goods, while under the feet of Fila there are 3 bags.

It's not a competition about who's shopping more, but they're both forced to sit at the same table because of a guy.

Kuro Kagami's.

A person who is the ringleader is currently in the toilet to clean the blood flowing from both nostrils.

It was natural considering he had seen two beautiful girls half naked, but that was the problem.

Sruuuttt..

Fila drank the juice she ordered. The hot weather made him thirsty. Even though there is air conditioning somehow the air around it feels hot.

"Hey... Can you chill your head, fire witch, you don't know that your magic makes me sweat?"

"Aah?!"

Laila understood what Fila said. He had unknowingly heated the air around him. He felt regretful, but it was natural considering he was angry.

As a fire witch, heat is her friend, which is why she does not feel hot and sweaty, but for others, heat is something that is disturbing.

".......Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Laila took a deep breath and the air started to return to normal.

"It's okay. It's natural to be angry when Kuro sees you half-naked, but I don't understand why you should be mad. Kuro did it accidentally. "

"Wittingly or not, he keeps seeing things he shouldn't have seen. I'm not satisfied if I don't burn it to charcoal."

"Is there anything good to see?"

"!?"

Laila's heart felt pierced. She knew Fila's breasts were of extraordinary size. Think F cup? When compared to her B cup self, she had absolutely no chance.

Discussing this will only hurt yourself.

"Hahaha.I'm sorry I was just kidding. . My name is Fila Ariant. It's a strange meeting, but greetings know."

Fila reached out her hand, but Laila hesitated to shake her hand. But he did so because he realized Fila had no ill intentions.

(Handering? Didn't you just start?)

Laila was irritated.

"....Laila Alein Fortisillein, greetings, Fila."

Laila smiled bitterly as she became acquainted with Fila, but somehow Ariant's name sounded familiar to her ears.

"So you're the Paladin princess nicknamed the strongest paladin huh? Heh. I didn't expect to meet a daughter of a famous person."

Laila's father was one of the five paladins.

Leon Alein Fortisillein, that's his father's name. He was known as the strongest fire mage for 400 years and no one had ever defeated him.

As the strongest Paladin princess, Laila's rank as an S-ranked witch was very reasonable, but-

S is not enough for Laila.

He is 15 years old, but he is still S.

She was very different from her brother who was ranked Master at the same age.

It's a shame, but no one knows this shame but himself. It was because there was no one he could share with and understand about himself.

But, all of that had nothing to do with her encounter with this green-haired girl, and she finally remembered why Ariant was so familiar in her ears.

"Haha, I also did not expect to meet the daughter of former general Irho Ariant. It's a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Yes. I totally agree.."

And finally they looked at each other with sharp gazes, but that was not a sign of them being hostile to each other.

"Haha.."

"Haha.."

They both laughed at the same time. They smiled and the tense air instantly disappeared in an instant.

"Um... By the way, what is my relationship with Kuro, Laila?"

Laila was surprised and immediately put on a complicated expression, but at the same time her face turned red. Does he remember what happened?

"Hmmm..well, actually our relationship is only limited to partners in school. But-"

"...?"

"....Fila, do you believe the dream came true?"

"Eh? Whatchu mean?"

Now it was Fila who put on a complicated face. He was confused by Laila's strange explanation.

"Ah. no no. ummhh. Since I was a child, I always dreamed of seeing and meeting a man, no more precisely me and that man were lovers."

"......"

".... and the man in my dream was very similar to Kuro, it was just that they had different eye and hair colors. Fila, what do you think?"

Honestly, Fila did not understand at all, but she knew that the man in Laila's dream was similar to Kuro.

"Hmmm... I guess it was just a coincidence, but is it okay to tell me this? I'm the girl you just met.."

That's absolutely true. Laila also understands that this dream should not be told to others, but-

"sorry. I shouldn't have told you this. I'm just confused and I don't know why I want to tell you about my dreams.."

Laila immediately looked sad. He just fell silent and looked down.

Frankly Fila did not really understand, but he did not like if there were sad people in front of him.

"Haaa. I don't like this."

"Eh?"

"sorry. I don't actually mind. You can tell me as much as you can, but don't expect me to give you a solution. But if your story is true, isn't that what fate calls it?"

Laila instantly raised her head and light returned to her eyes.

"Destiny?"

"Yes. You know the kind of fate you were born with, but this is the first time I've ever heard of and seen this."

".......Weird right?. but-"

There was a lot of weird about the dream.

"Here you go, let's just say Kuro is just a similar person in your dreams. That way, you don't have to worry anymore, do you?"

"Yes you're right, but-"

Despite the many things he thought about, he realized Fila was right. So now he decided to forget.

Laila smiled.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry, because I got your date with Kuro interrupted!?"

"Eh? A date? We're not dating."

Hearing that, Laila was instantly confused.

"Don't joke. Me and Kuro just got acquainted 2 hours ago, where maybe we were dating."

"......."

Somehow Laila's feelings arrived immediately felt relieved and better.

"Hmmm, could it be that you told me about your dream because you thought that I and Kuro were lovers?"

"Eh?"

Laila's face immediately turned red and looked down embarrassed.

Seeing Laila's behavior like that made Fila realize she found something interesting.

"So it seems. Take it easy, Kuro and I went here because we had to buy something, and after we bought it we probably won't see each other again, so you know.. I took her around as a memory."

"Fila, don't tell me you.."

".. i don't know. I don't understand either. You know even though I only met her two hours ago, I don't know why I feel so good about being with her, but.

"...."

".. It might just be because of my admiration for Kuro. How strange. This is the first time I've felt."

Isn't that what we call love?

I don't know, but Laila also understood what Fila was feeling, but-

"Fila, are you amazed by that F rank witch? You must be kidding."

Unfortunately, Laila's self-esteem doesn't want to acknowledge Kuro.

"No. I'm not kidding. You know Kuro-"

Booooooooommm!!!

""??!!!!!""

The two of them were shocked when they heard the sound of a sizable explosion from downstairs. And not just one explosion, but a lot of explosions and gunshots.

The people around Laila and Fila started to panic, but a Knight arrived and told everyone to gather.

"Listen. Right now a bunch of criminals are attacking this mall. Hope everyone goes to the evacuation center soon. We knights will face them."

Everyone nodded. They began to walk neatly towards the nearest refugee camp.

Attacks by groups of criminals using magic have been frequent, which is why non-witch residents can only evacuate to shelters.

Of course, a refuge is a place made especially by the government to protect its residents and at times like this a Knight is needed to fight criminals.

Although Laila and Fila were witches, they were not allowed to interfere in matters like this, but they were allowed to help the Knight if the circumstances were pushy and required special permission.

That's why the two of them just obeyed the Knight's word and went towards the refuge, but-

"?"

Fila suddenly left as the Knight looked the other way. That certainly confused Laila. And feeling anxious, Laila finally sneaked in.

The two of them were now hiding among the pile of clothes.

After making sure everyone entered the shelter, the Knight cast communication-type magic.

The small magic circle near his ear let out the voice of his fellow Knight.

"Knight A7, what's the status?"

"(Knight A7 to Knight C9. Right now we are dealing with 10 enemies who use firearms. We're trying to catch them, but they're into gaaaaaaaaaaahhh)"

The knight heard gunshots and screams. It was at that moment that the communication-type magic circle instantly disappeared.

The knight knew that his fellow Knight might be dead.

Why did his friend die?

The female Knight and her 5 friends put on confused, sad and angry faces at the same time.

They did not understand why their comrades could be defeated so easily by criminals.

And though they do not understand, this is not the time to be sad.

The six Knights knew that they could die at any moment, but they were A rank and above magicians who were chosen and experienced in battle. That's why they shouldn't be easily defeated.

Is the enemy this time so powerful?

They don't know, which is why they activated their magic to deal with the criminals.

"Erlika!!"

A three-eyed spear suddenly appeared with a golden light.

"Edoras."

The other knights started to activate their magic. This time a red wolf with 5 flames appeared from the magic circle.

"Delphia."

"Luxurian."

"Silph."

"Korugi."

The other four knights began to awaken their magic simultaneously.

Delphia is a large blue pistol with a unique decoration.

Luxuriana is a 10-meter-long four-headed snake.

Silph is a half bird man who holds 2 swords. Kurugi is a green magic sword.

3 Users and 3 Contractors ready to face the approaching enemy.

Meanwhile, Laila and Fila were amazed when they saw that incredible sight.

As magicians, they both knew the six Knights were an incredible magician even though they had yet to fight.

If facing one of those Knights, it was possible that the two of them would not win.

"They're strong"

"I agree, but I don't know why I feel such a bad feeling."

Hearing Fila's words, Laila felt confused but in her heart, she also felt the same thing, which was a bad premonition.

"!?"

Tap tap tap...

The six Knights heard a voice coming from the direction of the stairs.

Although there is an elevator, but because of an emergency, the elevator is turned off so that there is only one way to the 4th floor, which is through the stairs.

"Eh?"

Only one enemy approached.

Skinny guy with very covered clothes. There was a small circle symbol with a red crow image on his right sleeve.

The six Knights were confused. Not because the enemy was one man, but because the six of them did not feel the slightest sense of the man, but they knew that the man was the enemy of the gun he was carrying.

"Hey.."

The man smiled proudly as if he was underestimating the six Knights who were in front of him who had already activated their magic.

"....the six of you, prepare to die!"
