Chapter 271
Chapter 271 Strongest Sage, Invited the Group
" . . . Had fun fighting weaklings?"
[Combatant Mira] murmured after making sure the comm was connected .
And then, he got a reply .
"Naww nope . Fought three already, mediocre the lot of "em . "
"It"s so boring, and after we got resurrected and all . "
"Found someone decent, but he went and died right away . . . Heard there"s some strong guys at Second Royal Academy, I"m about to head there . "
Looks like there have been other victims .
. . . One of them is even going after Second Academy .
Glad that we took on this case quick .
If we were late even by a few days, there could have been victims at Second Academy .
[Combatant Mira] speaks to the comm magic as I"m thinking that .
"Second Academy is a good idea . . . But there"s an even more interesting opponent . "
"Interesting opponent?"
"Yeah . A swordsman who far surpa.s.ses my skills in 『Loita Swordstyle』 and 『Ias Swordstyle』 . He looks like a mere child . . . But he"s strong . "
"Hou?"
It seems like that caught their interest .
But then, voices could be heard from the comm magic after a slight pause .
"Why wouldn"t ya fight such an interesting opponent yerself?"
"Of course, I did . "
"Then, he ain"t in this world anymore, is he? Or did he get revived too?"
Looks like his [Warmongers] friends had no doubt about his victory .
[Combatant Mira] answered back .
"He didn"t die . . . Because I lost . "
"Hou?"
"I"m taking my life after this . . . Come to where I am if you want to fight someone that brought me down . "
--After hearing that, the comm magic immediately got quiet .
Before becoming lively a moment later .
"h.e.l.l yeah! Finally a decent foe!"
"Keep still you, I"ll be right there!"
"Ah, no fair! Let me fight that guy!"
"First come, first served~~!"
We could hear those voices from comm magic .
An also the sound of acceleration magic for moving .
None of them was bothered by the fact that their friend had been beaten .
All of them were glad to find a strong enemy, and in a rush to get where I am .
[Combatant Mira] have transmitted his location through the comm magic, so they must be going straight at me right now .
In the meantime--[Combatant Mira] fell down .
"He just fell . . . ?"
Alma sounded perplexed to see him suddenly falling .
Looks like he intentionally made his inner mana go out of control, burning off his cerebral nerves .
"Looks like he took his own life . "
"H-he"s really dead . . . "
" . . . Well, he was already dead in the first place . "
I gazed at a distant sky as I said that .
A small shadow is soaring there--coming closer at a tremendous speed .
"Looks like they"re here . "
"Already!?"
"Well they were probably in the vicinity . . . Also, acceleration magic . "
I waved at the soaring shadow while using [Enforced Detection] .
"Over here!"
Then the soaring shadow flew straight here .
Its figure became clearer as it got closer .
It was a slim magician who came flying in .
He landed a few meters away from me and threw a question .
" . . . Am I the first to arrive?"
"Yeah . "
"Then let us fight before more nuisance comes . . . [Combatant Geese], engaging . "
Geese put his arms forward .
Looks like he"s a pure magician type who doesn"t use a sword .
『Eh, what? They"re going straight to fight after that exchange?』
『It couldn"t even be called a conversation . . . 』
I confront the magician while Ruli and Alma were confused .
