Chapter 165
[? Round] Boyfriend…?
The student council president of the secondary education center’s question was no different than asking a right-handed person why he held a pen with only his right hand. How great would it be to write or draw twice as fast as others with pens in both hands? But the reality wasn’t that convenient.
The same was true of my new technique. Precise technical control was possible only with the right hand and right foot. But it wasn’t something to be ashamed of at all. You don’t have to hold a pen in both hands, do you? You should also have a hand free to grab a notebook or rummage through your phone. Just because you’re ambidextrous doesn’t mean you’re better at studying.
“Enough with the unnecessary talk…”
I kicked off the wall and jumped at the student council president. I didn’t have any particular grudges against her, but if I killed the secondary education center student representative, I would receive a huge penalty. At the same time, I could check out the skills of the strongest middle school student.
Did she expect my attack? Or was her reaction speed excellent? The student council president disappeared like a mirage just before my attack hit, leaving a pillar of fire that soared in the place where she was.
Gwaaang-!
The Fire Spirit that lived between my thighs was trying hard, but the pillar of fire formed by the student council president’s magic was special. As expected, was it in the Transcendental Realm? Spirits, the natural enemies of wizards dealing with the five major elements, didn’t help much.
“Tsk. Was it an illusion?”
My body was engulfed in a pillar of fire and burned brightly. Only magicians with excellent talent fought honestly with their power, using efficient combat techniques that fired off powerful magic quickly.
But the real authentic wizards were different because they were the ones who prepared. No matter who might come, they didn’t intend to destroy the opponents with their magic and instead a.n.a.lyzed their opponent’s psychology and set up effective magic traps to match them. Practical Magic was second. Wizards who used customized magic were the real nuisances.
“What a terrible fire.”
It was said that the fires of h.e.l.l where the demons were locked up could never be extinguished. The pillar of fire summoned by the student council president was the same. The flames that clung to my body raged non-stop, with the momentum to burn everything from my clothes to my flesh.
But I also had a way to handle it.
‘I’m not a wizard, after all.’
I was improvising on the spot. Even if there was some damage in the process, I must push forward boldly. Otherwise, I would be dragged along by the opponent’s pace. That’s what absolutely must be avoided against a prepared wizard.
So I ran thoughtlessly
“What the…?”
The student council president, who reappeared a little distance from me, questioned me in a bewildered tone. Where was I going instead of fighting?
Fluttering~!
I’m prepared to do anything to lower my score and rank! The fire that had been struggling to burn my body spread around the dormitory. If the student council president did something with magic, it would be concentrated around here. The dormitory would be destroyed as well.
“Huh?! The fires won’t go out!”
“Be careful not to touch it!”
“I’ll ask for help from above!”
The maids, who were as talented as the graduates, couldn’t do anything to stop it. These women boldly cut their hair and took off their clothes just in case the flame splashed on their bodies. After all, this was beyond the maid’s abilities.
It was no different for the graduates.
“Argh! Help me!”
“Hey, what the h.e.l.l is this strange fire?!”
“Hey! Extinguish this fire!”
“Hey! Go away! Stay away from me!”
Unable to make the same cool judgment and decisions as to the maids, they were confused and burned down to ash one by one. Ordinary people were afraid of fire. On the other hand, heroes could boldly enter a place covered with fire. This was because they believe in their fire resistance, level, and skill. But now, those heroes also reacted like ordinary humans. Just as a hero is no ordinary man, this fire was also unusual.
It didn’t falter as it continued to spread. With this force, it wouldn’t take long to reach the women’s dormitory and even to the city where it was located.
“W-wait-! Stop-!”
The student council president hastily followed after me. Originally, I had to track her down and blow her chin off with all my might, but the tables were turned. With teleportation magic, it was possible to appear right in front of me and make a surprise attack, but she was busy catching the fire that was spreading from my body to everywhere.
An absolute fire that never went out? There were no absolutes in this world. If such a fire existed, it would have burned the universe right away. It was just that many stars burned for an astronomical amount of time that felt like an eternity to humans.
Anyway. The student council president, who had already prepared this and that, was perplexing. It proved that the plans she had set up had gone awry. In addition to the pillar of fire, there must have been several magic traps. But they weren’t used at all.
The initiative had been handed over to me. It was important from now on.
Squeeze!
I tore the clothes I was wearing off and threw them away. It was a special product brought from the treasure trove of the angels, so it didn’t burn well even in the flame that never went out. But it also came to its limit, so I threw it away. If the craftsman had seen it, he would have scolded me, but it was okay as I had a pile of clothes like that in my warehouse.
The next problem was…
“d.a.m.n bird-brained guys.”
The angel race’s clothes, which stuck to the naked fashion style using their wings as an excuse, were unconditionally empty on the back, whether casual or combat wear. So the fire was still burning well on my back. The Fire Spirit prevented the spread, and the Water Spirit and the Earth Spirit diligently played firefighter.
And the Wind Spirit helped me differently. Giggling, it spread the fire through the dorm while the Mind Spirit fanned the fire like a bad friend right next to it.
“It’s been a while since they paid rent, huh.”
After praising the spirits, I reached back with my right hand and touched my burning back.
Fizzle…
The fire went out in an instant. It wasn’t even a matter of turning the magic around. A flame that never went out had been transformed into a flame of unknown origin with my skills. The existing characteristics had, of course, disappeared.
“You! To extinguish the fire like that…!”
When the student council president saw me like that, she shouted indignantly. So I answered back.
With my fists.
Paang-!
The student council president, who was busy extinguishing the fire, couldn’t avoid my attack. But it didn’t give me the feeling I wanted.
Pats, bang, pang, clank…!
It was due to the transparent protective shield surrounding the student council president’s body. The opponent was a wizard, so I expected that, but I didn’t know that the shield would be this thick. It wasn’t even one or two layers.
At last…
Pop!
Even teleportation was triggered on the condition that the shield is broken. Expecting a physical blow, my fist couldn’t reach the student council president’s chin and instead cut through empty air.
But that was okay.
“Ohuuuuh…!”
Because only physical damage failed. The student council president, who appeared a little distance away, couldn’t stand straight and leaned her back against the wall with a troubled expression on her face. It was only natural as she was within the sphere of influence of my right hand.
About five million brain cells had died by now, and her intelligence dropped by 1%. Millions of neurons were left stranded, so nerve transmissions must have been delayed by 0.03 seconds. Plus a bonus on top of that, even a slipped spinal disk! Her head would feel heavier than before, and her neck and shoulders would be sore.
“Auntie, no hard feelings.”
“I-indeed…the overall 1st placed student who broke the best records in the elementary education curriculum by twenty-three times. I kind of thought about it, but I didn’t expect you to aim for the number one position of the secondary education center right away.”
The student council president, who sat leaning against the wall, didn’t look angry or anxious. She spoke as if being attacked by me was a cruel law of the jungle she expected. Not just expected, she took it for granted.
What the h.e.l.l was the role of the student council president? Whatever it was, it didn’t suit me.
“I won’t kill you.”
If she died, I might become the middle school student council president. I thought of destroying the secondary education center if I had to go there, but I didn’t have to put myself there. I’m going to give her a lightly herniated disc as a present, though. The student council president gave me a grim expression.

“Isn’t it a big deal if you think that you have already won? I’ve finished reading your invisible skills through the attack you just threw. It’s the particles that make up the spirit, the fine particles.”
“Fine particles, like sperm?” (TL: a play of words)
“It’s fine particles! Please do not blaspheme the technical term!”
“I’m just guessing. Why are you nervous?”
“That…I was surprised. I didn’t even think that there would be other beings that could deal with fine particles other than the First Spirit. Spirits can generate particles that match their properties, but they cannot control them. Just as we cannot control the feeling of love.”
“Love? You can take an aphrodisiac.”
Did she think that stimulants and sedatives were for nothing?
“You…you don’t know love, huh.”
“Ha! Don’t look down on people. Is love a big deal? It’s a beautiful love that I want to return home as soon as possible and be a good son to my parents.”
“…You don’t know anything, huh?”
“Shut up and give me your waist.”
Whenever you suffer from a herniated disc, the face of an S-cla.s.s hero with a smile like a friendly orthopedic surgeon will come to mind.
“A woman’s waist, not her chest? You have a unique taste.”
“Shut up and just stick it out to me.”
“I’m sorry, but that won’t happen. Do you remember the three virtues of a hero? Love and friendship. And being nosy.”
Boom! Thud-!
A human fell from the sky like a meteor. The unquenchable flame engulfed in that shock wave spread all at once to the city and the women’s dorm, but it was none of my business. I kept an eye on the one who appeared with such a raucous performance.
It was clear that he was strong just by looking at the power that broke the dormitory ceiling, but his abilities were so great that they made me laugh out loud. It wasn’t even one person. The three people who fell almost at the same time were all wearing school uniforms.
“You cheeky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Take your hands off it while I’m still asking nicely.”
“Hey. Do you think the middle school students look like pushovers just because you’re a little strong?”
“Junior, enough with the cute playhouse.”
And from the start, they were very hostile to me. I had a rough idea, but I decided to ask out of courtesy.
“Who are you people to be meddling here?”
Was there no leader? Just like the timing of their appearance, the three of them answered simultaneously this time.
“I’m her boyfriend!”
“I’m the President’s boyfriend!”
“Her boyfriend!”
“Hmm?”
“What?”
“Huh?!”
The atmosphere between the three middle school students became strange all of a sudden. I glanced back at the student council president.
“Isn’t this also within the expected category prepared by you, Auntie?”
The student council president, who hardened like an ice statue, suddenly spoke with a nasal voice.
“…Oh! Honey, what are you so sad about? My only boyfriend is you, who is the strongest in elementary school.”
The embers of pa.s.sion that had been dying out were blazing once again.
“Auntie is my girlfriend?”
“Auntie, huh…? No matter how close we are, that’s too much.”
“Yeah. That’s too much.”
“Hohoho! Honey. Well, thou-kyaaaaah?!
I grabbed the student council president’s slender ankle as her vigilance dropped and swung her like a club, towards the three males who were super furious.
“Kugh?!”
“President?!”
“Yo-you’re crazy…!”
A true girlfriend of a righteous hero must give her body and mind for the peace and well-being of the hero. I will use her body first.
