I Favor the Villainess Chapter 50

Chapter 50
Ruler

“Manarisama!”
“Lovely!”
“Rei, do your best!”
“Don’t lose!”

The next day, Manarisama and I were surrounded by spectators on the magic practice grounds .
I didn’t really want to stand out, but somehow the news of Manarisama’s and my magical confrontation spread .
Unlike Manarisama who’s used to spotlight, this development made me dispirited .

“Um… Do you really need to do this, Onee-sama?”

While the audience quickly cheered, only Claire-sama looked sullen .
Refereeing our confrontation was entrusted to Claire-sama .
Although there is magic dampening barrier, both Manarisama’s and my aptitudes are high .
It was judged that it would be dangerous for a person with a weak aptitude to be a referee .

“Oh, is there any problem with what I and Rei are doing?”

Manarisama asked as if questioning why Claire-sama would say that .

“Personal fights… are not good . Why would Onee-sama and Rei fight?”
“Well, we’re trying our ability”

We’ve decided to keep the true motive of this confrontation from Claire-sama .

“Well, there’s also a small personal grudge . Rei is not suitable for Claire . Claire too, you are troubled being followed by Rei?”
“Tha, that is…”
“Is it wrong?”
“… It is not”

Claire-sama said, squeezing her voice .
My chest tightened .

“Rei too doesn’t like me”
“Yeah”
“That’s why, we need to settle it here once and for all”
“… I understand”

Saying so, Claire-sama took some distance from us .

“Are you prepared, Rei?”
“Manaria too”

“Fufu, interesting . That spirit”

Manarisama laughed daringly .

“Well then, are both of you ready?”
“Yup”
“Yes”

Both of us answered Claire-sama to confirm .

“Then, ready… Start!”

At Claire-sama’s cue, the audience raised a cheer .

“So, how will you come?”
“First I’ll do this”

I swung the magical wand and Manarisama’s figure disappeared underground .
It’s the pit I used against Claire-sama during the Order of the Academy entrance exam .

“Ah, I was surprised . But, such a thing won’t defeat me?”

While speaking in a carefree voice, Manarisama rose from the hole .
I expected that .
Manarisama has high aptitudes in all four attributes .
She can raise the bottom of the pit with the earth attribute or dance in the air with the wind attribute .

“Yeah, there was a different purpose”
“… Oh”

Manarisama noticed the strange phenomenon overhead .
A large mass of muddy water floated there .
When I swung my magical wand downwards, it all poured down on Manarisama .

This combination magic of earth and water is “Water Meteor” .
It’s a magic that pours a mass of earth and rocks on the opponent, among magic present in Revolution it boasts considerable power .
It seemed like a direct hit, but―― .

“Good grief . Aren’t my clothes drenched”

I heard a carefree voice behind me .
When I turned around, although her clothes were somewhat wet, Manarisama’s figure was undamaged .
I know what she did .
She crossed space .
It’s the wind attribute magic of the super aptitude “Teleport” .

It’s the wind attribute magic of the super aptitude “Teleport” .

“You went hard from the beginning, Rei”
“If I didn’t, I couldn’t win against Manarisama”

Unlike other major characters, the protagonist doesn’t have a fixed pattern of fighting .
For example, Rod-sama’s Army of Flame or Misha’s Siren, when refined to perfection are strong techniques .
They’re strong, but they’re poorly compatible with Manarisama .
Manarisama has Spell Breaker .
The perfectly refined techniques are helpless against being dispelled by Spell Breaker .

A prolonged fight is unfavorable .
No matter how effective the technique, once the fight draws out it will become the victim to Spell Breaker .
In short, to defeat Manarisama, there’s nothing but to challenge her to a brief fight with novel techniques .

Be that as it may, it’s not easy to defeat Manarisama with a brief fight .
She has nonsensical high earth, water, fire aptitudes and a super wind aptitude .
Even if I have two attributesDual Caster with super aptitudes, I’m no match for her in aptitudes .
The pit and Water Meteor at the start were meant to seal her movements and finish it in one go, but after all it won’t be so easy .

“No way, you won’t tell me this is all?”
“Yeah, I won’t”

I brandished my magical wand .
Fog enveloped us .

“Hmm, it’s a magic I haven’t seen . But, fog can at best serve as camouflage――”
“Freeze”

Ignoring Manarisama’s provocation, I invoked magic .
Except me and the audience, the space instantly froze .
It’s the water attribute magic “Judecca” .
It’s a magic that instantly freezes a wide space, originally it’s a magic that couldn’t be used before the game’s final stage .

I’m not stopping .
The created blocks of ice around me are pierced by rock cones coming from below and shatter .
It’s the earth attribute magic “Earth Spike” .
The technique of using these two magics in succession is called the serial magic “Cocytus” .

It’s a high-powered strike that follows a wide-area freeze .
To say nothing of ordinary opponents, even a considerably trained person shouldn’t be able to avoid it .

However―― .

“Yup . Close, close”

“Yup . Close, close”

I heard a voice right behind me .
I reflexively looked back and shot an ice arrow there .

“If your enemy wasn’t me, it’d invariably be decided by now”

As she destroyed the ice arrow with Spell Breaker, she stood there composed .

“… How did you avoid it?”
“Se・cret”

Manarisama playfully put her index finger against her lips .

“Even so, Rei . Didn’t you overdo it a little? Even with the magic dampening barrier, if I was hit just now, don’t you think I wouldn’t get away without an injury?”
“Yet, you could avoid it”
“Well, because I’m me”

Saying so, Manarisama loudly laughed .
And after laughing for a while, with a smile like Cheshire Cat’s on her face―― .

“Then, it’s my turn . Because I was shown something interesting, I wonder if I should get a little serious”

―― Crap, it’s coming!

From my knowledge of the game, I had a premonition of what Manarisama’s next action would be .
Having nothing to lose I invoked Cocytus again .

However―― .

“Dominator”

The instant Manarisama’s magical wand shined, the construction of Cocytus stopped .

“This is the end”

The next moment, I bled from all over my body, fell down, and immediately lost consciousness .

“――! ――u!”

I heard something .
It’s a very pleasant sound .
Certainly it’s too high-pitched for ordinary people, it’s a shrill sound .
But I love this sound – no, this voice .

Certainly it’s too high-pitched for ordinary people, it’s a shrill sound .
But I love this sound – no, this voice .

“――u! You!”

When I opened my eyes, I saw Claire-sama’s pale face .

“… Claire, sama…?”
“You regained consciousness!? I am glad…”

When I called out to her, Claire-sama had a rare look of relief on her face .

“I told you she’d be alright . I treated her”
“Even so Onee-sama overdid it! Causing her such an injury!”

Manarisama lightly said and Claire-sama rebuked her .

My consciousness is gradually returning .
Looking around, I seem to be in the Church clinic attached to the academy .
It’s the place where we came to ask Matt about the circumstances of the courtyard incident .

“I… was…”
“You fainted receiving Onee-sama’s magic . Is there any place that hurts?”

Claire-sama asked me in a worried voice .
I see, I―― .

“Yup, you lost”

Manarisama told me in a voice that sounded like a judge handing down a verdict .
I see… I lost .

What Manarisama used at the end was the four-attribute combination magic “Dominator” – it dominates all magical power within range and makes it run out of control, it’s a peerless brutal offensive magic .
Because magical power is put under control, no magic can be used, moreover people with high magic aptitude receive high damage due to the out of control magical power .
It’s a magic that can be called the ultimate anti-magician weapon .

I knew Manarisama could use Dominator .
No, when it comes to what I know, with my knowledge of the game, I know almost everything about Manarisama .
Because I know, I understand what happened .
I lost my cool when my feelings for Claire-sama were looked down on, however I―― .

“Well then, Claire is mine, okay?”

Against this person, I can’t win .
