Schneider took out a baton from his chest and waved it twice. An intense snowstorm swirled up from between the battlefield and the stands around it!

“What’re you doing!” I cried.

“I thought I’d weed out the spectators who can’t handle a snowstorm. They’d get in the way,” he said.

This was quite the rash decision… His methods were despicable… But they got results. It was true that it would be troublesome for anyone to get hurt from the action.

Tarl returned to Schneider’s side with a lumbering gait. It appeared he had recovered from the poison. The two of them quietly walked towards the center of the battlefield.

“By the way, a referee is useless to us, since this all ends when one of us goes down. You can go home, ok?” Schneider said.

A referee gasped in fear. He and the rest of the magician teachers who had been acting as referees turned heel and ran.

In the stands, audience members had felt an ominous chill and were running for their lives towards the exits.

“Sensei, can you take all of our people? Somewhere safe. They might catch a cold,” I said, grimly.

“…We’d only be a burden if we stayed, hmm?” he said.

“That’s not what I mean. But, it may make it difficult to do what I need to, you know?” 

Kodak-sensei frowned and wrapped up me and Lu in a big hug. With that, he jumped into the swirling snowstorm and cut a path to where our comrades were in the stands to guide them out.

“Serafi!”

“Serafi!”

Nick and Alma, with Maru and Shu on their shoulders looked frustrated. I put my hand in my pocket to make sure I still had the glass ball. I waved at them. I smiled to let them know this wasn’t like our previous goodbye.

“Serafi, we’ll be waiting for you with a feast!”

“Serafiona! Don’t you dare loose!”

Got it!

“It’s quiet now, isn’t it?” Lu said.

After a few minutes, only three people remained in the stands. They were Father, with his legs crossed, Brother who watched me with his chin resting in his hands, and his elbows to his knees, and old man Sieg, who was massaging his own shoulder with eyes closed.

Father and Brother were clad in a thin veil of magic. Old man Sieg was blowing away the snowstorm around him with a tornado. All three of them were far from worrying about themselves.

As I glanced at Papa and met eyes with me, he gave me a slight nod. It was to let me know he’d keep an eye on Old man Sieg.

Kodak-sensei would probably come back once he finished his duties. He was my one and only teacher, after all. I prayed that father would watch over Brother and Sieg.

Lu jumped from my shoulder and sparked a little light. As he landed on the ground, he took his beastly form. My rather imposing holy beast held his head high beside me, and with a haughty demeanor, stared down Schneider.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

And then, suddenly, a light from the sky appeared as well, and enormous rays of two types of magic descended.

Boom!

In place of the light dying down was… Asu, in beautiful beastly form and a long tail, coming to a rest on Gilan’s shoulder.

Asu… had been called down.

“Obviously.” Asu’s voice echoed within my mind.

Gilan stood, landed in the middle of the stands, and with a relaxed gait and a sun on his back, he came to the front row and walked into the snowstorm. Wrapping himself in a black military uniform, he ran his gaze around the stadium with his ice-blue eyes. After passing through the veil of snow, and glancing at me, he moved his icy stare to Schneider.

“Lord Gilan… Consider me surprised.” Schneider said and laughed bitterly. He gathered up the snowstorm and ended it in an instant. “I see the holy beast of the South is in beautifully high spirits.” Schneider proceeded with the proper formalities and took a knee. Then, without receiving a response, he stood again.

“This place is full of your guardians, isn’t it, Serafiona?” Schneider said, “When will your friends intervene, I wonder.”

“When I ask them to, I suppose,” I said.

“If Sera is injured, I’m sure you’ll be made a punching bag. However… I don’t plan on letting that happen, anyway. Not this time.” Lu growled.

“Lu-sama… that’s a problem for me. You see, I myself find our side adorable. Isn’t that right, Tarlknight?” Schneider pet Tarl’s head. 

Wait, Tarl’s eyes… you could see they were a brownish color. They weren’t as clouded as before. This was probably a good thing for Tarl, but… Not a good thing for us, perhaps.

“Schneider the First, the one Prince,” Gilan said in a low, solemn voice, “I have no stake in this country’s fate or even your future. However…” He looked at me with a sidelong glance. “Sera is mine. I will have no mercy for anyone that harms what is mine. With all of the power of Gale in my hands, I will reduce you and your entire country to ash. Be warned.”

Schneider’s eyes widened as he said, “I had thought this was an arranged marriage due to you both having holy beasts in your possessions, but… to think you were actually in love!? That is truly shocking…”

Gilan and I were, indeed, fated together, as though tied together by a heavy, red rope, and yet? I tried to stop my face from reddening, though it was useless.

“Here we go!” Lu said, kicking up sand from the ground and swirling it around his body and mine to hide us.

“Speed!” I cast. I raised our agility together as a unit. 

The sand surrounding us took on heat. It was now weaponized hot sand. Lu manipulated this at will and shielded us with it. Schneider conjured wind magic and tried to blast the sand away, but Lu’s sand was too strong for that.

I leaped up from the sand and rained down a set of 10 shurikens from above at a rapid pace. I’d learned how to instantly fire them off from my older brother in the magic room. 

All of the shurikens had paralysis poison and sleeping poison on them. Tarl was deflecting these shurikens left and right, but he should be coming in contact with the poisons with each deflection. Yet, Tarl’s movements remained nimble. This must mean the extractions I made from common grasses were ineffective against him. He had probably built up a resistance to Miyu’s previously used poison, as well.

Lu came around to meet me at my landing point. I landed on his back and we closed the distance to Tarl. Our movements should have been too swift to see. We circled around to behind Schneider, far away from Tarl, and I leaped once again from Lu’s back. I took out a kunai from my wrist and dove down headfirst, aiming for the back of Schneider’s neck!

…It’s not that I was moving with complete confidence. But I couldn’t bear to see any of my loved ones get hurt anymore. It was time for me to take responsibility.

As I dropped in a nosedive, Schneider looked up and realized what was happening. He pulled a rose out of his chest, and extending it, grabbed my kunai away. Tarl, realizing that I had appeared behind them, turned around quickly and tried to mount a defense, but Lu stopped his feet with hardened sand, and paralyzed him with fierce winds!

I released the kunai from my hand calmly, flipped once in the air, and threw a roundhouse kick at Schneider’s face with my right leg! Schneider crossed his arms in front of his face in a guard. I connected and followed through with all my might, sending Schneider flying to the wall edge!

Last time, I couldn’t compete with these two at all. I couldn’t surpass Tarl’s defense, and I never even landed a single effective blow on Schneider. 

But this time… there was a chance!

Tarl, who was distanced even further from Schneider was being attacked by high-density sand. Lu wasn’t letting up, either. Lu, I’ve made you commit violence again… I’m sorry.

I drew the short sword from my waist, clad it in a helix of flame, and dashed at Schneider at the speed of sound.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
