So far, the students Jake had forced to drop out had excellent grades. armor How could Shirone even compare? antique Jake felt he was just unlucky.

After reading Jakes deadly atmosphere, Shirone tensed. aspect Jake’s Spirit Zone, which turned into a star shape, was felt by Shirone through synesthesia. galaxy It felt as if hundreds of archers were aiming their bow at him.

It’s not over yet. abstract I’m a Class 4. action Im naturally different from those backstabbers who use Anti-Magic.

Jake called forth wind between his palms and pressed them down to compress. apple Then the air began to rotate in the form of a disk. silence It was Windcutter, a magic that could easily cut through tree trunks.

He was able to resist Anti-Magic because it was a battle fought using the Spirit Zone, but a magic battle was a completely different story.

“Argh!”

Amy got on Jake’s stomach and threw out a barrage of punches. canvas The power of a single strike was like being struck down by a big stone.

“Let go of me, you bastard! avalanche You must have thought I was easy to target, Jake!”

Amys eyes watered. arrow She had almost lost her eyes. apron She had been on the brink of going blind. wizard Remembering that she had been shamed by this good-for-nothing scum, she felt her blood boil even hotter.

The fear of death awoke Jake’s mind. palette He covered his face with his arms and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“H-Help me! riddle Just spare my life! amber Please!”

Shirone tried to pull Amy back with all his might. arrow He felt like he was pulling out a wooden stake stuck in the ground due to her Schema. galaxy But, when he pulled her one last time with a forceful tug, Amy fell back and crushed Shirone.

“Amy, please stop!”

There was no way that Amy, who had been a very curious girl since childhood, was unaware of Shirone’s state. aluminum It was a sign of her own friendliness, as she was poor at expressing emotions. antique It also reflected Shirone’s success trying to quietly overlook the dangerous collision with Amy a minute ago.

“Anyways, what now?”

All of them fainted with bloody noses, and Jake was crawling on the ground, half-dead.

Shirone changed the subject and turned to the members of Black Magician. apple He didn’t notice while they were chaotically fighting, but after assessing the situation after things had settled down, he noticed the condition of the boys was serious.

“But Sharelle is probably on her way.

“What? altitude Did you perhaps tell the teacher?

“Let’s head down. alpha They’ll lay low now that they have something to feel remorseful about.”

Shirone was deeply moved. advance The reason Amy was disappointed was because she was trying to keep his secret.

Amy sighed, facepalming. adjust She could accept the fact that she was humiliated, but Amy thought that she could at least enjoy the victory. matrix However, she was bummed out by the fact that the incident had already been reported to the teachers.

“Hmm?”

Amy avoided eye contact, scratching her cheek. atom There were times when she felt neglected in the freewheeling atmosphere of the Karmis family. anxiety She yearned for human affection. avalanche She wandered through the back alleys to search for it. adapt Shirone’s kind words made her happy, but at the same time, she couldnt completely digest them.

“No, I didnt……

“You came here all by yourself because of me. abstract But dont fret over it. apple It doesn’t matter if my secret is revealed or not. adopt I’m just glad you’re safe.

“You are really pathetic. acoustic If you can’t even stand up properly, just stay sprawled on the ground. accent Are you a pervert? autumn You like being punched by me that much?

“Puhahaha!”

Sharelle landed with two instructors.

Ugh, of all the possible teachers

Thadd approached Amy with a tearful face.

“What’s going on, Amy! beacon How could a brilliant kid like you do such a foolish thing

At Jakes words, the instructors turned their heads. alpha The person who was responsible for the incident said he would explain it. aspect It was questionable whether something went wrong in his brain after being punched so hard numerous times.
