This chapter starts off on the battlefield as everyone else have rested on the sidelines. Reymund and his partner Sarah is fighting off against their home room teacher, Richard Milos.
"but it will all end soon."
Reymund looks at Elsy and thinks, i see, as long as the opponent magic is active, he can keep using their magic.
Reymund then request one of the classmate that uses telepathy to turn it off as that student response "I can't, my telepathy skill is always active. it cannot be turn off!"
Shit, with that skill Sir Richard can read my mind. There is no way i can outmaneuver him if his just constantly using my magic.
Richard in defense turned off the Telepathy and think to himself, Reymund still doesn't know about the Mystic Boom Magic he has, that's a good sign. It mean he can't go all out.
And with his depleting mana reserve. it will not take a long time for him to passed out again.
Meanwhile Reymund was thinking of any methods to hit the teacher, but couldn't find any.
I might just surrender. he thought as he was interrupted by Sarah who grips his hand.
"I can fight" she said.
"That's the spirit." Reymund told Sarah as he gently shakes her trembling hand.
Oh, the latecomer finally showing up. though i wasn't assigned to supervise her on the entrance exam. I wonder what magic i can replicate from her. Richard thought to himself as he activates the telepathy magic back.
As they started getting ready for the second round, Reymund ask for Sarah's magic. "Hey Sarah, i know it is late but would you mind telling me your ma-" when he got interrupted mid sentence.
Unknowingly Sarah kissed him in the middle of the match and it took several seconds for the whole class to completely stupefied by the sudden event.
"WHAT!!!!"
After seeing that, at first Elsy was shocked and later became jealous to Sarah for stealing that kiss.
Sir Richard on the other hand, as a romance story enthusiast. started giggling and stomping his feet. Somehow his obsession got reawakened mid fight.
After that their lips unlink as she told him "Since your willing to save me, it cant hurt if i gave you my power. Right?"
The reason i was miserable in the first place. She thinks...
Suddenly there is a glowing blue light coming out of Reymunds body, it is emitting this lights out while healing the injuries that he has.
"What is this" Reymund thoughts in confusion
"I can't tell you my magic, then Sir. Richard would know of it. What i want you too do, is go all out." Sarah told Reymund
....
After that Reymund walks approaching Richard as he told Richard, "Hey Sir, I'm ready for round two."
Richard Laughs at shouted "GIVE ME ALL YOU GOT!!!"
Suddenly a Fire arrow is seen on both Reymunds hands as it gets hotter and hotter in his area.
Richard then Copies that same power and releases a blue flaming arrow coming out of his hand.
Suddenly both of them releases the Flaming arrow simultaneously and immediately regenerating another one after each release.
A total of fifty Flaming arrows for both Richard and Reymund was exchanged, the area that's hit by the collision of the two flaming arrow is exploding non stop, loud noise can be heard from other rooms. Student from other grade level is sightseeing this fight on the field arena.
After the smoke from collision was so thick they couldn't see each other, Reymund looks beneath a thick cloud like smoke and saw another flying arrow aimed at him. He Jumped up the sky to avoid it and starting regenerating a flaming spears on both hands and throws it to the other side. After the spear disappeared after going past the smoke a sudden cyclone exploded on the other side dispersing the smoke and directing Reymund's own spear against him.
After seeing the spears approaching him, Reymund generate a flaming whip on both hands and whipping the flying spears back to Richard. Before it hit him, Richard dodge it by moving left and right quickly and used a blue flamed whip to hit Reymund.
As counter Reymund blocked the approaching tail of the whip using his handle, whipping his whip out of his hand in the process.
Everyone was awed by the extreme length both of them showed.
Richard in his mind thinks to himself, There is no doubt his partner's magic is Attribution Enhancement. a very disgusting magic, not only boosting your magic but also your physical strength, mental fortitude, and mana capacity. worse part is i can't use that magic for my benefit. her variation of AE Magic is only good for the receiver.
And what terrifies me the most is Reymund magic is getting stronger every second. If this keeps up i wont be able to land a counter.
Reymund's then regenerate a blue flaming sword the size of a passenger bus and raise it vertically.
Everyone from Class 1 - A was shocked to see that their classmate Reymund can display such amount of magic.
Even Reymund is shocked himself, in his mind, i just regenerate the same magic power I've always been. So this is a work of Sarah, right?"
With that much potential if someone finds out they will look for ways to exploit that magic.
Is that the reason for the scars on her neck, is she already being taken advantage?
I may have stumble something i cannot get back too. Reymund thinks
He then brushes it off, enough of that, i still have a score to settle.
The sword that Reymund holding vertically with his two hands is starting to grow and glow as bright as a sun. The silhouette of the light can be seen even to Elnier's home as their maid Melissa saw it after completing the trash.
"ITS NOW OR NEVER, THIS TIME FOR SURE, I WILL HIT YOU SIR!!!" He shouted. As the sword as big as a three-storey building started slashing straight down vertically. The wind close to the flaming sword starting combusting as the temperature is going up as the sword moves down.
while seeing this slash going straight at him. he just waited getting hit..
until....
Chime!!!
Chime!!!
Chime!!!
The school bell rang indicating the start of lunch break....
"Come forth.."
"Joker.."
The atmosphere became dark and a eerie laugh is heard..
Suddenly a magic circle as big as a basketball field can be seen inscribe what looks like a drawing of a clown shining black aura and Richard is standing in the middle of it.
The Class flinch by the sudden appearance of a 40 foot tall doll like arm coming up the circle and tightly grips at the slashing sword, breaking it in the process, the flame sword then revert back to the original size.
There is something wrong about that arm, Its uncanny. It looks much like an arm of a human but not at the same time, stitches can be seen to it as well.
Out of fear he involuntarily deactivate the flaming sword and shouted "WHAT IS THAT?" he still haven't seen anything like this
"Its over kid, unfortunately my time in this school has passed, sadly no one got an exemption."
"SO YOU ALL HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR THE EXAM!"
The 40 foot tall arm then covers Mr Richard as it slowly go down the circle with him.
And the circle disappear returning the ambiance back and the eerie laugh slowly disappear...
The boy in the class then mentions "What the hell is that thing?"
A teacher then approach them and said "That's summoning magic"
they then looks at the teacher as he approaches the class.
"That is one of the course that you will be attending to my class."
He then giggled and said "Lord Richard, still as extreme as ever i see."
"By the way, my name is Earl Swartz i specialize in magic circles, hope you have a great time on my course" The professor Introduced himself.
....
Meanwhile on the other unknown place. the same circle can be seen but it is a lot smaller, just as big as the hallway and Richard raise up from it like his riding an elevator.
It looks like Richard teleported into a mansion with a red carpet in a hallway. he took a deep breath and brings out the magic measuring device that is active all this time.
Upon checking the recorded magic power is 2600%.
No doubt about it if that magic hits me, i might die. thankfully i have a trump card up my sleeves. Richard thought as he looks at a Joker Card he is holding.
.....
During lunch time The class scattered around with their group of friends as Reymund looks for his childhood friend Elsy in a crowded cafeteria.
After few attempts he finally manage to see her with Diane. She is holding her lunchbox while Diane is holding a food tray as they went to the table.
He approach them and said "Hey Elsy" while waving at them
Elsy ignores him and sit on the leather chair. He then sits besides her while Diane sits in front of her.
"Hey what's with that reaction, its my first day of school and you suddenly hates your childhood friend?" Reymund asked her
But she wont listen to him and continue eating the food in the lunchbox.
Reymund can't seem to break her shield, he tried shaking her left hand while she use her right hand to eat. he then tried rearranging her hair while making fun of her, he then tried poking her chicks as she chew.
Diane is just smirking about the situation and clearly knows why she is upset. judging by the interaction she knows they are very close, so it didn't take that much time to know why Elinoise is mad.
"His right Eli, why don't you just make up already. Its just a kiss, its no Biggy" Diane says to her.
At first Reymund thinks about the kiss and then says "Oh is that why you're mad? i will kiss you right now" as he started smooching, Elinoise then stops that by blocking it with her palm.
"Don't get so full of yourself, why don't you ask that to your girlfriend, the one you partnered with" She suggest to him.
Reymund then smirks at her and said " Ahh, is that jealousy i hear?"
She then continues ignoring him as she drink water from a bottle.
45 minutes later....
"Look I'm sorry okay, it wont happen again i swear please don't hate me" Reymund is now begging for her to forgive him.
Diane then started calling out Elinoise "Eli its almost class time are you really not gonna make up with him, his persistent you know. You can't find any boys like this"
"ARRGG! fine i forgive you okay" Elinoise announce.
And Reymund which in a verge of crying went happy real quick, almost like it is still part of his plan. then said "thank you Elsy-san" while Hugging her tightly.
while this is happening Sarah walk passed them without looking back.
During the hug Reymund is pointing at the hallway while Elsy is pointing to where the door of their room is. That's why Reymund saw Sarah crying silently barely covering her eyes with the handkerchief.
.....
Chime!!!
Chime!!!
Chime!!!
The bell rang indicating the end of lunch....
.....
Professor Earl enters the class as they all stand up the greet him "Good Afternoon sir"
"Good afternoon, you may sit down now" Earl said as he sign his hand to sit down.
"Okay Class just so everyone knows my name is Earl Swartz, your Magic Circle course teacher."
"Since you already got the glimpse of what this is about, after Professor Richard did. Tell me, your opinions about it" Professor Earl asks
A boy raise his hand "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT THING SIR!!!"
Professor Earl then replied "Yes that is an excellent question, and an answer for me as well."
"What you saw earlier is a contracted beast"
"That beast variant doesn't really have a name, only professor Richard can name that beast, but for identification purpose we call it, - Dubious Jester."
"What else any other opinions" Professor Earl then asks
A girl raise her hand "HOW DO WE KILL IT!!!"
"Uhhmm... I don't know about that dear, if Professor Richard heard that, he will be sad. So you don't really have to kill it."
"What else?" Professor Earl asks
Another boy then ask "How do we summon that thing?" with a gentle tone.
"We will get to that soon, for now lets start with the introduction" Professor Earl replied
It was just another boring discussion after that...
