My Daily Life In Magic Academy's

Chapter 25 Match Against Android Part VII

"Bubble!" Creating a water bubble one meter in diameter right in front of the face of the Android I was fighting, I managed to trap the Android inside of it. It all worked out because I attacked him all of a sudden, without letting the Android I was looking for get ready for my attack.

Android next to me, watching his comrade? Or maybe the doppleganger? Caught, he immediately reacted quickly to free the Android I trapped in the water bubble. But before she can do that, Natasha shoots her blood dart into Android's face, making her turn her attention to Natasha.

Not to be outdone, Dani attacked using a tree trunk measuring 20 centimeters to the two remaining androids.

I used wind magic to thicken the water bubble away from the starting position, the bubble shot away, 15 meters away towards the front. I followed the water bubble, leaving Natasha and Dani busy withholding the remaining Android from chasing me. But not knowing why, the remaining androids ignored Dani and Natasha's attack, choosing to chase after me. As a result of ignoring my two friends, the Android was several times attacked by my two friends. They cause some minor damage to their bodies.

It seemed that ignoring their attacks both bore fruit. All three Androids managed to catch my water bubble, and free the android trapped inside it.

Freaky... Why should they bother to help their friends? Do they want to keep their numbers?

Clearly, their movements were very unnatural... If I find out why they're doing it, it's possible it'll serve as our ace.

For that reason, I instructed my two comrades to separate the Androids. "Sep them apart!"

Maybe they realized the strangeness of the movement of the Android, so before I give instructions they've done it.

Natasha made two blood swords, darting into one of the Androids. His above-average physical strength of evolved humans clearly dominated his path of battle, added Dani, who continues to trouble other Android with her plant magic. Currently the distance of the four of them was about 3 meters. They still have not shown such unnatural behavior before them.

I'm fishing for another Android, using Magnet magic, making their distance even further.

There were some metallic elements inside the body of the four Androids, so I could easily pull one of the androids towards me with magnetic magic... As a result of being attracted away from the other three androids, the android I pulled also showed unnatural behavior as before.

He painstakingly resisted the pull of my Magnet magic. He reciprocated the pull of my magnetic magic with magnetic magic as well, as a result of which the same two magnetic poles met, causing enough repulsive force to stop the attraction of my magic.

But, that's enough. With a quick calculation in my head, I was able to figure out the maximum distance of their separation.

"7 meters! They were trying not to part with a maximum distance of 7 meters!"

Hearing my screams, the four Androids showed alert behavior, like a child being caught misbehaving by their parents.

The four of them, created a semicircular magic barrier that surrounded the four of them. I returned to my original position, reunited with my three friends.

"You realize that?" Ask Natasha and Dani.

"Yes. They're trying not to separate from each other." Answer Dani.

"Mira, is there a certain rule related to distance in 'Doppleganger?' magic?'" Ask Natasha.

"Of course there is. The maximum limit of the clone can be separated from the main body by about 500 meters. Then there's also a limit to how many copies can be created."

"How many copies can be created?"

".... Four. We can only create four imitations, more than that magic will experience errors, and fail to activate."

"Then, will the maximum limit also decrease as we add imitations?"

"Not in my knowledge."

To be honest I don't know about the maximum distance reduction. Nothing in this world is perfect, just like magic. Every magic there must be a deficiency that cannot be avoided, not least with Doppleganger magic, for the case of Doppleganger magic itself, I have experimented with this magic many times. As a result, I knew some limitations in this magic.

First, the clone of ourselves cannot step beyond 500 meters from the main body. If the clone exceeded that limit, the clone would be destroyed.

Second, the clone that can be made a maximum of 4 people. If it exceeds the maximum limit, and still insist on adding, magic will experience errors making magic will fail and the imitation that has been created destroyed.

Third, the clone only had 20% of the power of the main body.

Fourth, the imitation cannot move according to its own will, as users we can command the imitation through our brain waves that will be conveyed in real time to each imitation. To put it simply, we can control the imitation through our minds.

From the results of my expressiveness, only four of those things were recorded as flaws of this Doppleganger magic. Of course, I've tried the maximum limit of parting when increasing the number of imitations. The result, no change. But it might have happened because of my high magic mastery level, so that the maximum limit reduction did not happen when I used it.

It is possible that the android who uses this magic does not really master the Doppleganger magic, making the occurrence of his maximum separation limit reduction. Or maybe...

I smiled wryly, as I thought of the two possibilities that were in my head. I didn't think about the other possibilities of these two, so it's possible that one of the possibilities I still keep in my head is true.

"Magic sets. The creation!"

"She, check, can you hear my voice from the device?" Ask me.

"Yes." Yeah." Natasha and Dani replied simultaneously, their voices echoing in my ears. In my left ear, I can hear their voices through the device I created in my right ear I can hear them directly. Because positionally, the three of us are close together.

"good. We can't keep quiet like this, we'll discuss their strange behavior while fighting if possible, otherwise Natasha and I will force ourselves to finish our fight as soon as possible. Until then, I want Dani to hold them off as much as possible."

"Understand," Reply Dani.

Our fight continues. Attacking the protective barrier that protects all four Android in front of us. We attacked simultaneously, Natasha threw her blood spear, Dani whipped using a large rod, then I attacked using a fireball 5 meters in diameter.

Because we attacked so powerfully together, the Barrier was destroyed instantly. I reflexively clicked my tongue as the Barrier shattered.

"We left them for a few seconds, and they've already healed each other." I muttered with annoyance. "Sorry Natasha, but take care of my opponent for a minute."

"I don't know what you're up to, but speed up whatever you're doing."

"Just calm down, I won't be long!"

The time of casting one spell that I can do is less than one second, but when I forcefully use two spells at once, the time of chanting will be reduced to two seconds. I thought of various ways to cover up this weakness, until I found the right magic to overcome this weakness of mine.

"Magic Sets. Delay Magic," As its name suggests, Delay Magic is useful for delaying the time of activating a magic. Like entering the program code in the computer but delaying the activation time of the program, if the program wants to be activated we only need to press the active or enter button to activate the program. Just like what I'm doing now, I enter the code of the magic program into the Carlania Particle, then set the spell activation code. For example, I cast a fire magic spell, which I can activate three minutes later. Perhaps according to some people this spell is useless, because it delays the activation time of the spell. But if used well, this spell is very useful.

"No.1. Fire Ball, No.2. Barrier, No.3. Bubbles, No.4. Boost, No.5. Blow, No.6. Magnet, No.7. Gravity Field!" I cast magic spells one by one, there were a total of seven spells I activated. But since the effects of Delay Magic did not happen anything when I cast that spell. If there is no magic delay, all the spells will be active and create a natural phenomenon within a fraction of a second after the spell is cast.

"Completed Natasha. You focus on your enemy! And thank you too! 'Activated Number four!"

The spell in sequence number four was the Boost spell, which created a driving wind behind me. My body was pushed forward, towards one of the Androids near Natasha. The android was aware of my existence, but just as before, he was late in reacting, I stuck out my hand activating the number one spell sequence, which was 'Fire Ball' a fireball one meter in diameter was created in my palm, instantly burning the android I was after, not finished until there I activated the spell number two, 'barrier'. It's useful to lock the burning android in an enclosed space, grilling it.

"Isn't that an exaggeration!?" Shouted Dani from somewhere.

Indeed it is excessive, but it is necessary to remember, our opponent this time is not human. Our opponent is a clone of man, that is Android who has a body with metallic elements in it. Added I immediately closed the oxygen line with my 'Barrier. The fire cannot flame without its oxygen, if the fire ignites in a sealed space, it will immediately absorb the oxygen inside of it until it is empty then the fire will die. That's what's happening right now, the fire I'm making is just roasting the android I'm attacking for a few seconds.

The fire I created had a heat of approximately 700-980 degrees Celsius. Normal humans will have third-degree burns. But unlike the android, whose body contained metals with melting points exceeding 1000 degrees, a fire of that level had absolutely no impact on them. They only make their bodies heat up. But that's what I'm after!

"Activated Number Three!" The magic on the third sequence number is 'Bubble!' the water I used for the low-temperature Bubble magic. And at this time, the android inside the barrier is trapped inside my water bubble, while the magic barrier protecting the android disappears, it will be directly inside the low temperature room. The sudden change in temperature caused several malfunctions on the android machine. I can tell from the electric flashes that emerged from the wrists and legs of the trapped android. The movement of the trapped android becomes stiff, before the end of his small explosion occurs causing a puff of smoke out of the android's head.

Android has lost. The moment the android was damaged, the android was instantly destroyed. Indicates that what I'm up against is the Doppleganger.

Distracting me, I could watch Natasha successfully stab the chest of Android not far from my place, the android was instantly destroyed just like I fought.

Dani's fight on the other hand is not finished yet, he is still trying to fight the two remaining androids. Honestly I wanted to help her, but using "Delay Magic" gave a side effect to my body. Actually, the effect given does not mean, only a sense of fatigue that is equivalent to running for one kilometer.

"Well... Huh... Huh..." I gasped, trying to get as much air.

Just like me Natasha was also panting. Forced to fight using the power of blood that will give the effect of Anemia to the user in addition to exposure to sunlight, Natasha is in a worse condition than me. His face was deathly pale, his legs were shaking violently, as a result he fell down on the ground.

"We... Huh... Huh... Hand over... The rest... Huh... Huh... At you... Dani's... Huh... Huh..." Natasha murmured with gasps, glancing sideways, 5 meters away from where we were, there was Dani who was still trying to fight the two remaining androids.

Pulling Natasha's hand away, I was about three meters away from where Dani was fighting. It was at this time that I explained to Dani all the possible reasons for her strange behavior before her that were in my head.

"Dani listen to me. Maybe the mastery of the Doppleganger magic that this android uses is not perfect so that their separation distance is so close, it's the first possibility. Then the second one might be that they're trapping us with false information. Actually they can part more than 7 meters, but choose not to do it to trap us. Well... Since we managed to defeat two of the three Doplegangers, this android will probably show its true intentions, by attacking me and the currently exhausted Natasha. Then the last possibility, the android we are fighting today is still not perfect. The magic that they can use, it might just be lower in quality than the magic that we use."

"so yeah... That's good news!" Reply Dani, his voice was heard from the wireless phone I made.

"Let me rest for a while, after that I'll help you." Reply me.

"okay! As long as you gather energy, I won't let any of them get close!"

Suddenly a sound came from a loudspeaker in a building near us.

"Ah. Can you hear me? Your teacher Robert is currently speaking. I forgot to tell you, 90 minutes is too long. There are only two teams fighting. Therefore the rules of the game will be changed, anyone who managed to seize the opponent's flag first will be declared the winner. Then, Good Luck!"

Like him, we really have to exert all our abilities. Fuck the rest!

Despite the exhaustion, Natasha and I helped Dani... Without us knowing it, it was our rash actions this time that led us to defeat.
