Ooohh!? Isnt that girl tremendous for a Squire student!?

That speaks why shes summoned here!

Sh-, shes just like Yua! It feels like Im seeing another Yua!?

All the upperclassmen raised their voices in astonishment.

And shes unbelievably cute!!!

While it was totally not important, they said it in perfect unison.

Its no time for something that stupid! All third-years, respond to attack immediately! It doesnt matter how hard that Runeless kicked them, physical attacks wont kill a Magic Stone Beast!

Silva readied his Artifact whilst giving out orders. The Artifact he wielded was a peculiar weapon with a long barrela rifle. Apparently, it was originally developed as an anti-personnel armament on the Highland. While it was rare to see such an article down on the Midland, Inglis had seen one of such in her hometown Ymir. Marquis Wilford was in possession of one.

A rifle Artifact was rare as rifles were hardly used on Midland. Even if such Artifacts were bestowed, there was still the factor of unfamiliarity towards such a sophisticated weapon that would shun its user.

Silva with his rainbow-colored Rune should be able to wield any kind of Artifact he wanted. The reason he purposely used a rifle must be because it possessed some excellent Gift. The rifles barrels were riddled with some red patterns, indicating that it had a fire attribute.

For now, lets see what hes got. But, before that

Pshooo!

A pure white arrow of light flew past Silvas face.

Rafinha fired her light bow Artifact.

It pierced through the Magic Stone Beast that Inglis had buried in the wall. And she shot not only once, but twice, thrice, then continued in rapid session. She thoroughly hushed the Magic Stone Beasts.

Rani? Dont come to me if youre scolded, okay?

Eh? But Im keeping my hands off them, Im just shooting my bow, you know?

There wont be any problem, then.

Right?

As if that logic works! I dont care if youre Sir Raphael the Holy Knights sister, acting on your own convenience is!

Whos the one acting by his own convenience here!

Rafinha didnt lose.

If any one of us here gets hurt, Miss Ripple will suffer! Thats why we are doing our everything not to get injured! Your so-called honor isnt important for that, we all need to collaborate! Senior Silva, youre going to become a Holy Knight, arent you? Then youre the one who should understand Miss Ripples feelings the most! Youre going to fight together with Hyrule Menaces like her, after all!

!? What did you say!? You dare to spew on when you dont even have a Special Grade!

Even without a Special Grade Rune, Ive seen someone who has it up close and personal!

Rafinhas declaration slapped Silva hard. That someone was, of course, Raphael. When comparing Silva to Raphael, it couldnt be helped that Silva would look immature. Not only was Raphael older, he already matured into a proper adult. It wasnt that Silvas future potential was being denied, however, as it only spoke of the current situation. His aptitude to wield a Special Grade Rune was authentic. He could still grow up and change however he wanted.

But, there was one thing Inglis had to sayShe liked Rafinha when she stood up to her own conviction and justice. She was really cute and nice when she stiffened her face as hard as she could, even though she usually wouldnt make such a face.

Aah!? My spear also hits something when I swing it around!

My sword hit them too! Im very sorry!

Both Liselotte and Leone also began attacking the Magic Stone Beasts. It seemed like they were in to get scoldings together.

Senior Yua! You heard me, didnt you!? Dont laze around and help too! Its all for Miss Ripple!

Y-, yes! Im sorry!

Being pressured by Rafinhas appeal, Senior Yua was startled. While charging at a newly emerging Magic Stone Beast, Inglis looked at her with a sidelong glance. She looked like a small animal, didnt look very strong at all, but

After a single breath, Yua executed an action that made it seem as though she vanished and slipped into the space between Inglis and the Magic Stone Beast.

She wedged herself in between me! I could see her motion, but what frightening speed.

Plop!

With a hand strike as light as a soft plop, Yua struck the beast. But, with just that

Crackle-crackle!

It raised such a disturbing sound as a huge indent was carved unto the beasts body.

Oooh! Amazing!

That much power with such a light tap. Not to mention, her speed when she approached the Magic Stone Beast was quicker than Inglis while she was under the strain of the high gravity load.

Although, physical attacks were ineffective against Magic Stone Beasts, so her attack was meaningless. As meaningless as it was, it didnt matter to Inglis since she would still like to fight with her.

She is a powerful person, and nobody can object to it. By all means, lets ask for a bout of fight.

Hup!

Yua kicked a Magic Stone Beast behind her with her hind heel.

GOAAA!!

With the momentum of a bullet, the beast came flying towards Inglis.

Ah, sorry.

Its okay! Haat!

DOgaaan!!

She kicked it directly up. The beast gained even more momentum and pierced the ceilings headfirst.

Oh. Youre good.

Yua made a face like she was impressed, albeit slightly.

Thank you very much. Then, by all means, please have a bout of fight with me!

Thats a no. Contest of strength or such isnt my thing.

While saying so, Yua continued punching away Magic Stone Beasts.

Please dont be like that and give me a chance!

Inglis steadily kicked away the Magic Stone Beasts with the same momentum.

Nope.

Please!

Whilst they continued negotiating, Inglis and Yua continued blowing away the beasts with tremendous force.

Those two are terrific! Thisll be a piece of cake!

The other students only needed to go around the room dealing the finishing blow.

Kgh You deaf, disobedient lots

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Mister Silva! Then, Ill have everyone here participate under my authority! Thats why, nobody is at fault! Everyone, keep up the good work!

Commanded Principal Miliera in a fluster.
