, it was impossible to pierce through this solid protection.Therefore the gargoyle’s attack was repelled and its posture was broken in the air.
Ayumi didn’t miss that opening.
She immediately formed a chantless Photon Bullet and created three shots―
“GOOO!”
She shot toward the gargoyle that was hovering in the air.
But, a gargoyle was a demon whose selling point was its mobility in the air.
{GIGIGI―!}
‘Just try it if you think you can chase me.’
As if saying that, the gargoyle fiercely moved in the air in order to shake off the approaching Photon Bullets.
That movement was irregular yet quick, it was extremely difficult to follow with the eyes.
However―Ayumi had already learned how to deal with that kind of problem.
(Homura, san……!)
She recalled. His words, his teaching.
There was no need to be led around by the enemy’s movements.
Her field of vision should not chase, but fix the enemy in it.
She should not match the movement of the enemy, it is her side that should control the enemy’s movement―!
“YAAAA!”
Yelling with a voice filled with spirit, Ayumi let flew three shots of Photon Bullet with her trajectory instruction.
First was one shot, she raised its speed and directed it straightforwardly to the gargoyle.
Of course the gargoyle evaded that, but that was―a movement that Ayumi made it do with the first shot.
Ayumi had already directed the other two shots at the trajectory where the gargoyle was evading.
The gargoyle moved by itself into that firing line―
{GI―――IIII!}
Its body burst and scattered apart from the direct hit of the Photon Bullet.
(I, I did it!)
At the same time, behind her―
“Hands off me immediately-!”
{Gya gyaa―――!}
Rozalind shook off the goblins that clung at her with all her might and cut them down, setting herself free from the restraints.
Rozalind immediately said her thanks towards Ayumi who had protected her.
“You saved me. I’ll return the favor for sure, Ayumi.”
{Koga-chi, nice a.s.sist-!}
Anna who was witnessing the sequence of Ayumi’s actions also sent her praise towards the girl using mind communication.
“E, ehehe…”
Hearing those words, Ayumi’s expression burst open in a smile.
Until now the 27th trainee platoon was Anna and Rozalind’s two-top.
These two possessed motivation and ability that surpa.s.sed the student standard by far, honestly there were a lot of times where Ayumi was just a burden to them.
They were together only because they were friends.
Ayumi was always feeling guilty for such situation.
For that reason, this battle result and her friends’ words made her unbearably happy.
(Thanks to, Homura-san…)
When she went back, she was going to talk about this to him.
And then she was going to thank him.
Ayumi decided that in her heart.
She decided… and she noticed how her heart leaped that she could converse with Homura.
{27th trainee platoon! You guys really did it huh! It’s rare for a trainee platoon to show this much result you know!}
Suddenly, a new communication came to Ayumi and co. who just repulsed a group of demons.
The face that was displayed in the display frame was a middle-aged Arabian that grew his beard.
He was the division commander of the j.a.pan National Defense Army’s seventh division that was currently performing the battle, Ha.s.sad.
{Hehehee―! Aren’t we aren’t we? It’s fine for you to rely more on us you know?}
{Haha-! Then after this help out at the defense here! They are being pushed back a little.}
The commander talked with fluent j.a.panese while making a part of the mission map display in Ayumi and co.’s view, shining red.
That place was the area that needed reinforcements.
Anna who was the captain of the 27th trainee platoon confirmed it and,
{Okey-dokey~, then we will quickly―}
When she was going to return an acceptance reply, it was at that time.
Suddenly, an emergency transmission with a sound that was like a scream cut in.
{Mission map point C-4, a huge magic power reaction right in front of the defense line-! Something is coming-!}
