Seirei Tsukai to Shinjuu Tsukai no Shounen Volume 1 Chapter 9

Akito who leapt to the battle field at the last moment, blocked the military spirit's magic, then looks forward while hiding behind the big shield in his hand.

"You, You! What are you doing!"

Looking at Akito's figure, Asha who is crawling behind him, yelled.

"Don't you understand by looking? I'm just doing something incredibly cool"

"As I said, don't you un—-"
"How could I understand!"

When Akito said it like playing around, Asha shouted irritatedly. Akito thought "Why this girl is so troublesome…".
Akito let out a sigh from his mouth. Then while also feeling a bit embarrassing, he tried to look cool for a bit.

"That's why, I have come to uhh…. protect Anlayhaim-san"

When Akito says it while slightly blushing, Asha,

"Naa! What are you saying! Are you stupid!"

She got angry for some reason. Ehh? Did I do something? Akito tilts his head.
Asha’s heart just go “kyuun” because of this line, but he didn’t noticed at all.

"To begin with, how can you win without any contracted spirit? Are you stupid?"
"Ahh! Enough! Idiot idiot idiot idiot shut up! Besides, it's impossible coming here unarmed!"

Because Asha says it with a tone that sounds like she makes a fool of him, Akito finally snaps. While looking at him like that, Asha also tried to calm her mind.

"Ahh, it's magic armament. Have you not heard it?"

To Asha's question, Akito answered it while being cautious to what's in front of him. Hearing that, Asha says

"… Of course I know. But, I don't think there is a spirit user who used one…."

Asha muttered a little.

Originally, its users is called wizards or magic knights.

If it's normal people, even though there are individual differences, they still have a considerable magic power. But, they can't cast magic by their own power.

Then, what should you do if you don't have the ability to communicate with spirits? The answer is simple. You can only run. Without using magic, You won't be able to fight against spirits. That's common sense in this world.

The requirement to use magic armament is having magic power within your body. In other words, anyone in this world can use it. Although it's difficult to control.

If that's the case why does he has such thing, it's because his father gave him for self defense. His father, Hiiragi Yuito, knowing about the divine beast spirit inside him, gave him for the time being.

Because of that, he hid it inside his dormitory, and while he thinks of it as a hindrance, he still has it in case he needs it.

(Certainly I don't think it would be useful like this)

Thinking that, he smiled wryly.

It's off topic but, recently Akito is seriously thinking to transfer to there. Because he came to think like "Somehow it's better that way, isn't it?".

"Guooooh!!!!"

At that time, the light bullet was blocked by Akito, the angry military spirit roared. Looking at that, he draws a sword from his waist.
His unsheathed sword is the same as his shield, it is also a magic armament. After he swung it once, he gets ready.

"Then, I will buy a little bit time, quickly run away"

She held her spirit armament , and stood up. That moment, the bow in her hand disappears.

"…magic power exhaustion, right?"
"Ugh…"

When Akito say it after he saw it, Asha groans uncomfortably. "Haa…". Looking at her, Akito sighs.

"I got it. Then, let's share our roles. Since I will fight it, you take Dramon-kun who is laying there, and get away from here"

Akito says it while pointing at leonardo who is unconscious in the back of the field using the sword. Hearing that, Asha is

"Wha, What are you saying!? No matter how you can defense against it, there is no way you can win!"
"Mhm, you should apologize to all magic armament users around the world"

Although she looks like making fool of him, Akito realized she is just worried. So,

"I won't fight to the bitter end. When you get away from here, I will run away too"

He said it smiling. Then,

"If, if that's the case then it's fine."
"Ah, please. If you can get away fast, my chance to survive will increase too."

Though she dissatisfied, but she reluctantly nodded. Confirming that, he concentrate his mind to the military spirit that slowly become unable to keep its patience.

"Well, Let's go…"
"Be careful…"

After exchanging words, Akito run towards the military spirit, and Asha run towards Leonardo. and , These 2 people's joint operation. The fight where they risked their life— begins.

◇

Goes back a little in time, the moment when Akito run to help Asha.
Alca and Raios, while worrying about Akito who is not coming back after some time, they stayed at the place where they parted with him.

"Oi, you guys! What are you doing! Quickly run away!"

"That's right! The ace of the second year and the taboo military spirit! I can't miss material like this!"

Around both of them, there are still students left. Though everyone has some fear regarding this development, but somewhere they are enjoying it.

"Such thing is not related! Now, Our own self is the first—-"

"Shut up a bit! I can't hear it!"

The teachers are somehow able to move the students, but their will was hard. They let out bare their spirit of curiosity.

"Geez, what are you doing at a time like this, stupid Aki-kun"

"Oi, you! Delicacy is ——!!"
"I got it! I got it, so please stop this electric shock! It's leaking out! It's a bit tingly!"

Towards a word that Raios had said, Alca got angry and started leaking lightning strike. After somehow restrained that, when Raios looked at his surroundings, strangely there were only few people around both of them. The students that were afraid of getting involved, ran away themselves.

"Hey, this isn't working at all"

"Hoo-… If you say it like that, can you win?"

"Then, just go already"
"I'm really sorry."

From the students who look at the monitor, such voice can be heard. Rather it is from the man who is kneeling on the ground.

"As I thought, she can't win against the military spirit… The different in class is just too much."
"yeah, I don't have the feeling that it will work."

Looking at the figure of their classmate refusing to give up, setting the bullet one after another, Two people mutter.
In the eyes of those 2 people, Asha's magic bullets surely hit the military spirit, but it looked like there were no damage at all.

"""Aah!"""

In the monitor, Asha's knees lose their strength in the end. Looking at the military spirit releases a magic towards her, the surroundings let out a scream.

"Idiot! Stand up! Please stand up!"
"This is… bad"

Aruka shouts towards the monitor, Raios mutters quietly. The situation takes a turn for the worst.

"Hang in there!"

"Quickly run away!!!"

The students starts saying such things from their mouths. Everyone is really kind inside. Otherwise, They won't be able to make a contract with spirits.

At last, the military spirit released a bullet. While looking at the bullet that approaching Asha, the students scream.

"Please avoid it!!!"
"Avoid it! Why! Why don't you avoid it!!"

Alca and Raios also shouted. It's a situation where they couldn't watch their classmate's death silently.

—– except for 1 person,

"Uooooh!!!!!"

Such sound flow from the monitor, the sound of explosion completely cover the screen. What happened? What is the voice just now? While looking at the smoke rising to the sky, all the students catch their breath.
Then——–when the smoke cleared, they saw something unbelievable.

"Hey!? Who is that guy!"

"No way!? He is!?"

"Hi, Hiiragi? Isn't that Hiiragi!?"

The students start making a fuss. Then, the teachers too… act like seeing something unbelievable.
In this situation, probably there are 2 people who was surprised more than anyone in this place.

"No way… Aki-kun… What are you… doing?"
"Seriously Akito! You are really shining now!!"

There's Alca who is dumbfounded looking at it, and Raios which is for some reason looks happy. The color of fear is dyeing Alca's eyes. Again…. Because of military spirit, she will lose someone really important. Have to help him soon…
However, her legs are not moving. They are shaking, and seems like they are sewn to the ground. Looking at that, Tears start flowing from her eyes.

"A, anyway nice!"

"Damn! Doing cool things!"

"Of course! I can do—-"

"I'm sorry"

Such voices can be heard from the surroundings. That said, the man who is kneeling down hasn’t learn his lesson… While Raios thinks about that, he is about to call out to Alca—–

"No way, he looks a bit cool!"

"Something like that is something to yearn for right-"

"""Die!!!!!"""
"You… You guys…."

Raios who listen to the voice of girls, call out to the boys in the surroundings. The boys also have similar feelings, raise their voice. They completely disregarded the teachers that are dumbfounded by the situation.

"Hiks…. Aki-kun… Don't die… Please…"

Within the commotion, looking at her childhood friend who goes challenging the military spirit, Alca murmur with a low voice.
