An enormous darkness that should be released from his palms. The shadow envelops any and everything rapidly and swallows Delta……or so it should.
Now Then
The magic Delta is currently casting is of the Light Element. Formerly, Asch hammered everything about Dark Magic into him. However, the genius Magician who left him, simply, single-mindedly denied Dark Magic and polished his Light Magic. What was on his mind, when he walked that path. Nobody knows.
“As expected of Asch-sensei huh. You are extraordinarily good at just running away”
“Haa……haa……. I am by no means good at running away. Your attacks are just full of loopholes”
Despite running out of breath, that sassy mouth of his is still doing well.
＜＜Display, The Existence Of Fire, To The Enemy＞＞ーーFlame Arrow(Fire・Emblem)
＜＜Oh Light Formation, Protect The Pure, From All Malicity＞＞ーーHoly Formation Protection(Saint・Talisman)
In an instant, the fire Asch released was, obstructed by the Magic Wall Delta put up. What he understood was, the fact that that which is other than Dark Magic activated……the fact that, however, something other than Dark Magic is, ineffective against Deltaーーthat how brilliant of a Magic Wall it is.
“However, your stamina is probably already at its limit. I would like you to behave yourself soon”
“Haa……haa……you are probably feeling triumphant and proud thinking that you know everything about me but……”
“That is actually how it is, isn’t it? Are you saying that you who had your Dark Magic sealed, have some kind of card to play?”
Asch’s right hand, the competent butler, is also completely locked down by Raynes. He concludes that there’s already, no coming back for this Dark Magician.
“……kukuku. You don’t understand anything at all”
“It is unsightly to be a sore loser, you know”
“I am not being a sore loser. Since I brought you life and raised you up. I understand you very well. Extraordinarily well”
“……”
The Dark Magician didn’t let it slip his eyes that Delta’s expression tensed up for a second.
“As well as the reason you left me. As well as the reason you trained not magic of the Dark Element, but magic of the Light Element. As well as what you want to accomplish”
“……fuu. I will not get on board your provocation, you know”
“You killed her”
Asch, throws it out there.
Words that gouge his heart.
Despite knowing about him.
Having a past that only he and Asch know.
What’s important is, to keep the conversation going. As long as the conversation continues, his opportunity to attack will reduce at the very least. As long as possible……even a second longer. That was, the choice of the Magician whose Dark Magic is sealed.
“……”
“Blaming it on others. The way you live, your belief, they speak volumes about that. Running away from your helplessness like that, you didn’t desire unadulterated strength. I acknowledged your talent. However, you ran away from Dark Magic, ran away from me, and degraded to a half-assed Magician”
“……how does it feel being cornered by such a half-assed Magician?”
In response to his former protégé who got onboard the conversation, the former mentor makes a smile inside his heart.
“I’m being cornered? No way. I’m waiting, you know. For the moment you kneel to me. You’ll understand in just 10 more seconds”
“……amusing”
“Oi! Delta”
While having a back and forth with Mira, Raynes shouts.
“Why not. I, too, would like to see how he overcome this predicament. If possible, I wish it is not you being a sore loser”
“Kukuku……I hope you don’t regret it though. Something amusing will probably visit in no time at all after all. 10……9……”
While counting down, the Dark Magician focuses his ears.
In the middle of the battle, he had placed a magic that amplifies his hearing.
The sounds of trees falling all over the place……apart from golems’ shudders, the students’ clearly audible voices……they are, rapidly getting closer.
‘It should just be a little bit more……it should just be a little bit more’, he regurgitates over and over.
“……5……4……3…………2………………on――――――e――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――”
He stretches it. The worst Magician at the brink of his death who drags his breath out and stretches it one way or another.
“……fuu, as I thought, Sensei is painful to look at”
Delta says and sighs and starts the chant for his magic again.
“Wai-……wait up! I still haven’t finished coun――”
Doggoーn!
At that moment, the trees beside Asch and Del were mowed down altogether.
Over there was, a large group of golems……and then, the special class’ students who rode on their shoulders.
“Zero! Kukuku……did I manage to surprise you?”
Asch laughs at him proudly.
“……no way. Why, are the golems”
Delta mutters unconsciously. He had anticipated them going as far as to defeat the golems. However, he didn’t anticipate them to go as far as to steal the commanding rights and control them at all.
“I’d like you to not underestimate my students. Unlike you, they’re all honour students who properly listen to my teachings”
He talks as though he’s being revered by the students. Mira doubted her ears for once, thinking whether or not she heard correctly.
“Aーschーseーnーseiー”
“Ooh, Lily-kun. Those guys are the enemies. Quickly send those golems……uwah! What are you doing; isn’t that dangerous!?”
The Dark Magician narrowly dodges an attack of the golem.
“You’ve really gone and done it huh! Is it that fun to harass us!?”
“It-, it’s a misunderstanding! It’s a complete misunderstanding. The one who are targeting you people is, the Magician over there”
“……liar”
Lily berates him without hesitation. The other students are also in complete agreement.
“It-, it’s not a lie. Isn’t that so, Mira. The ones targetting them is, that Magician over there, right”
Desperately. The Dark Magician who clarifies desperately.
“Students, what Asch-sama is saying is correct”
“You……just because Mira-san can’t disobey you! How can you be fine with making her say such a lie! Resolve yourself! Us students will beat that rotten-to-the-core personality of yours straight!”
‘What an unpopular Magician’, is the capable butler’s thought.
“Like I said, it’s a misunderstanding…..he-……wai-……uwaaaaaaaaaah!”
The Dark Magician who desperately runs away from the attacks of the large group of golems.
“……I see, I did get to see something extraordinarily amusing”
Delta muttered delightedly.
In any case, the situation is the worst.
