TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 15
The Opening Festival.
It is both the open
campus of Solminati Academy and a popular event for the students.
The school opens its
doors to the public during the daytime, and a variety of people from inside and
outside the school come to visit.
The students were also
more determined than usual to use this opportunity to show off their abilities
in their classes.
At each of the
training grounds set up in the school, a total of about 50 students were
gathered in groups, and joint classes were open to the public.
Since it was in the
midst of the opening festival, there were not only ordinary visitors but also
well-dressed dignitaries in the vicinity of the training grounds.
The spectators pointed
and sometimes cheered as they watched the students in their training, which
they could not usually see.
At other training
grounds adjacent to the center, several groups were also training under the
same attentive gaze of the visitors.
In one of such
training grounds. Among the students from three different years participating
in the training, there was one who stood out from the crowd.
Her name is Lisa
Hounds.
She is a red-haired
girl who is a top-class student among the third-year students, and is skilled
in the use of twin swords and flame magic with outstanding power.
She is currently
engaged in combat training against five students from the third year.
"Te~i!"
"Fuh~!"
"Uwa!"
Lisa easily brushed
aside a student's long sword that was slashing at her from the side with the
sword in her right hand.
The sword strike was so
powerful that it was unimaginable from her slender, feminine arm.
Her physical ability,
drastically enhanced by the [Niveei's Magic Manipulation] ability, gives her
the physical strength of a Cyclops.
However, her opponents
did not just end up being defeated.
As soon as Lisa swung
her saber, the student who had been waiting behind her fired dozens of magic
bullets at her.
The number of magic
bullets was too many for a single person to defend against. However, Lisa held
up the dagger in her left hand and created a huge fireball. She then launched
it at the oncoming swarm of magic bullets.
The fireball exploded,
swallowing the numerous magic bullets that were coming toward it. The released
shock waves blew away the students who had been standing behind it.
The students who were
flung through the air were slammed to the ground a few seconds later and let
out a cry of anguish.
It was too one-sided a
development.
It was not that the
third-year students were weak.
They had trained at
the academy and were among the top scorers during the special general training.
However, because this
girl's ability was so outstanding, they were unable to subdue her at all.
"What's the
matter? Is it over already?"
Lisa's mouth was full
of a smile as she played with the twin swords she held in her hands.
When the incident of
Ken's assault became public, she was so tormented by her own guilt and mistakes
that she was as worn out as a withered tree.
Lisa had lost sight of
herself for a while, but now she no longer showed the slightest sign of
weakness.
She was like a young
bud that had just sprouted, full of life and vigor.
"U-, uu……"
