Editing Mahou Sensou:Volume 1 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 10===

"Well... see you tomorrow."

Takeshi had been doing chores for two hours starting at noon, had been escorted by Kurumi to the main gate of Isoshima Residence and was already getting ready to return home.

"Yes"

As he turned around and turned his gaze towards his own house. Takeshi noticed something: Two men and a woman were leaning against the brick wall of a house located in front of Takeshi's house, which in turn was located next to the Isoshima Residence. He immediately recognized them.

"Hello, how are you?"

"Welcome..."

"I was tired of waiting..."

He clearly remembered those voices and then Takeshi quickly exclaimed:

"they are the <Ghost Trailers>!"

"Wow, it's only been a few days since you became a wizard and you already know our name!" Ushikawa said with a chuckle, the thin guy with bad fashion sense wearing a shirt with a horrible pattern.

Next to him, the small girl with a very short haircut, frowned and said:

"And to think that that girl Aiba Mui, would use seduction techniques just for the sake of taking Tsuganashi away. How disgusting."

Reacting to Hotaru's words, Kurumi rushed out from the other side of the gate and asked:

"Takeshi... were you seduced?"

She grabbed the sleeve of Takeshi's shirt and while tugging on it insisted:

"Hey... tell me Takeshi..."

"How do you get to say such things at a time like this?" Takeshi replied in surprise.

However, Kurumi looked up and looked him straight in the eyes asking once again:

"she seduced you?"

"Of course not."

When he answered reluctantly, Kurumi was finally satisfied. Meanwhile the three people who were engaged in looking them closely in the face.

"Hey, that girl..." Hotaru tried to say something, but before she finished, Ushikawa nodded and answered:

"Yes, she also became a wizard. Maybe it's because of us."

"No 'maybe.' Rest assured that it was." Oigami clarified. Who looked at Kurumi with narrowed eyes.

When Kurumi passed out in Takeshi's room, he couldn't realize that she had become a wizard since her power had taken a while to activate. If she had stayed there for use minutes, she would have been able to realize that. If that was the case, Kurumi shouldn't be on Takeshi's side so he had to make sure to get her into the ranks of the Trailers.

"Well, no problem. I will gladly welcome such a beautiful woman." Said Ushikawa while contemplating Kurumi's figure from head to toe. However, Hotaru refuted:

"Are you an idiot? The important thing is to know her systemati magic."

"For me, the shell is also of utmost importance."

"Don't say shell! Say face or body! Apologize, you vermin."

Paying no attention to Ushikawa and Hotaru's discussion which were habitual, Oigami moved his line of sight from Kurumi to Takeshi. Silently, he drew the sword from his leather belt while focusing only on Takeshi. Kurumi who was hidden behind his back, took a step back. Takeshi didn't know whether to tell Kurumi to run inside the mansion or to tell her to run far away to another place.

Either way, Kurumi would have to run away alone from those three who were magicians and although they didn't know what kind of magic Takeshi was capable of using, it was dangerous to just run away like that. Especially since Takeshi didn't know anything about those Ghost Trailers either. The only thing he knew was that they were capable of altering memory like they did with Mui's brother, so they might as well make him their companion. Holding the sword in his right hand, Oigami left Ushikawa and Hotaru behind with their useless discussion, and stood in front of Takeshi.

"I was told that battles between Wizard are forbidden in this world." Said Takeshi.

"Only battles with magic. A direct attack without magic is different." Oigami answered.

"Takeshi..." Kurumi muttered uneasily from behind.

Takeshi looked at the three firmly trying to analyze his options. Then he realized something and asked:

"Where is Mui's brother?"

Nowhere to be seen was the figure of Tsuganashi, Mui's older brother, who had been with them last time. Then Hotaru laughed and answered:

"Tsuganashi? He's not here. What's wrong? Are you thinking of taking Tsuganashi with you? That's annoying because Tsuganashi is our friend you know? You should forget about that.

"That's not what Mui said!" Takeshi exclaimed.

Hotaru pursed her lips at Takeshi's prompt reply and said:

"That girl is out of her mind."

"I believe in what Mui told me!" Takeshi said again.

At the firm answer, Hotaru distorted her expression as if she had been offended and said:

"What's wrong with you? You are disgusting..."

At that moment Oigami interrupted with a heavy sigh and said:

"It's useless for you to ask us about him. Anyway, he's not from our team."

"Team?"

"I don't suppose you know anything about him." Ushiwaka Said, raising an eyebrow as soon as he spoke, "He is someone of high rank within the Trailers. We are the elite of the first battle team and normally move in groups of three. Being together with Tsuganashis like last time is something we don't usually do. Since he is one of the five candidates.

"Five candidates?" asked Takeshi looking for an explanation. But Hotaru who had had enough of that, ducked her head and said:

"Ahh~ hey, how much longer do you plan to keep asking annoying questions? I've had enough."

"That's right. There's no point in giving you explanations," Ushikawa said.

"Yeah, that's because we're going to erase your memory anyway." Oigami replied.

Then the gazes of the three of them focused and became sharp.

"It's time for our second round." Oigami said as he firmly gripped his sword.

"Last time took you by surprise didn't it?" Hotaru said with sarcasm. To which the man turned to look at her silently with a face of few friends.

"A fight with another Evasive Magic user. This is something I haven't done before." Oigami commented.

"Evasive Magic user?" asked Takeshi

"What's the matter, you still don't know about systematic magic?"

"He doesn't seem to have an Aspect either." Ushikawa mentioned from behind.

Oigami who had a fierce expression, was surprised to hear that and said:

"That's true. Hey, the last time you activated your magic, what did you have?"

"Wasn't it a broom?" Hotaru mentioned tilting her head to the side trying to remember it. "It was a broom, wasn't it?"

Although she was also a wizard, Hotaru often acted childish. Ushikawa then said in a mocking manner:

"Do you think she's going to use that in a real battle?"

Hotaru replied irritated:

"At least it's better than your disgusting bugs!

Oigami again ignored them, and proceeded to pull a spare sword from his belt.

"Anyway, I'm going to lend this to you for a while."

"Hey, aren't you being too hard-headed?"

At Hotaru's displeased voice, Oigami threw the spare sword in front of Takeshi and exclaimed.

"Come on, show me your evasive magic!"

However, Takeshi did not move at the sword that had landed about 50 centimeters away from his feet. He had already understood the situation. His opponent was holding a real sword in his hand while he protected Kurumi behind his back with his bare hands.

But he still couldn't pick up the sword. He didn't know if picking it up would be stupid. Besides, they were in a residential area. It was a place with little traffic, but still it was not a suitable place where two men could seriously clash. Meanwhile, Oigami swung the sword he held from left to right as if he was showing off.

"Takeshi..."

When he thought of Kurumi who was clinging to his back, he realized that he would not be able to escape. Kurumi was not very fast at running. Even in the class from long ago, she was in third place. So it was practically impossible to grab her and run away to throw those three off.

"Come on, pick it up!" Oigami exclaimed throwing a sharp pointed look full of menace. 

Takeshi overlooked her by keeping his eyes down, but at one point Takeshi caught a glimpse flash of silvery light. As the blade's edge came over his right shoulder, Takeshi quickly pushed Kurumi aside.

"Hee-you dodged it..." Oigami exclaimed in a silly voice as he went down.

Takeshi had pushed Kurumi and he had launched himself to the other side of the ground. His fingers were trembling and his teeth were chattering. However, his gaze was fixed on Oigami. The power of Oigami's sword was expelling white particles that floated around him.

"What do you think you're doing all of a sudden?"

Takeshi glared at Oigami, but Oigami simply showed a less-pricey expression and said:

"I'm sorry, but I got tired of waiting."

A little longer and his shoulder would have been cut off. But on the contrary it was at a distance that could have reached the back of Kurumi's head. Takeshi remembered for a moment, the sensation of the wind blowing over his shoulder caused by the sword slashing through the air and shuddered. Kurumi who had been pushed, was still lying on the ground.

He had pushed her too hard so there was a possibility that she was hurt. Still, he couldn't let her run. Takeshi kept his hands low, and picked up the sword by swinging his arms while keeping his gaze fixed on Oigami.

"You finally made up your mind? Oigami said with a happy face that caused him to be repulsed.

The sword was heavy. And even though he was used to using bamboo swords, he had to be careful swinging a thing of that weight. Rising slowly, Takeshi corrected his posture and gripped the hilt firmly with both hands, adopting a fighting stance. Oigami bowed his face and rushed forward with a shout.

Takeshi swung the sword from left to right and repelled the blade of his opponent who had suddenly lunged forward. Oigami raised his arms again and launched a second side attack, but Takeshi quickly dodged it by approaching his opponent's chest and struck his cheek by raising the handle of his sword.

"Gu...!!!"

Although he groaned for a moment, Oigami didn't give up, but tried to forcibly capture Takeshi at an opportune moment. But Takeshi before that, took three steps back separating himself from Oigami. But having had that opportunity to attack Oigami, he realized something:

"That guy, he's vulnerable to attacks from the left."

As we all have weaknesses, Takeshi also had his weaknesses. However, Takeshi had memorized them for a long time in his kendo training and had learned not to make them noticeable. Blood began to flow from the left cheek of Oigami, who was standing in front of him. Possibly it was a wound caused by the blow from the hilt. However, he showed no traces of pain or anger on his face. Instead, Oigami was smiling in a very disturbing way.

"This way, without using magic I feel more motivated..." Oigami said while twirling the sword inside his hand as if he was playing.

After having dealt a single blow to the opponent, it was expected that the opponent would counterattack by striking with the back of the sword. However, what appeared on Oigami's face was a brutal laugh with full killing intent:

"From now on I will use all my power, so try not to die."

As soon as he spoke, a large amount of white particles began to emerge from the blade of his sword. And a noise was heard as if the asphalt under his feet was cracking.

At that moment, with incredible spontaneous agility, he ran towards Takeshi and grabbed him, raising a scream, and struck him with his sword. His actions were so fast that he could not even be followed with his eyes. As if Takeshi's body flew away, he received an impact. It was a dull, heavy thud as if he had just been hit by a truck.

"Ga haaa........!!!!"

His vision became blurry, his breathing labored, drawing all the air from his throat.

"I'm not finished!"

Falling to his hands and knees, Takeshi expelled blood and saliva from his mouth Oigami's sword had mercilessly pierced. The force of the steel falling on his back caused Takeshi to fall to the ground.

"Uuh... aah"

A high-pitched buzzing echoed in his head and did not allow him to hear anything else. As if he was paralyzed, he didn't even have an accurate sense of where it hurt. His body did not respond.

"Hey, you're going too far. Oigami, at this rate you're going to kill him."

"I didn't use magic in a direct attack so there's no problem. I only used it to strengthen myself, but it's not attack magic."

"He has no problem with that. As you would expect from an assassin."

Hotaru was frowning while Ushikawa played the role of a mere spectator. Kurumi sat there watching the situation in complete shock, Takeshi still unable to see or hear anything.

Having lost his sword, the tip of a shoe reached his side and Takeshi instinctively turned his body to try to avoid the blow. But he received many merciless kicks and was hit with the sword from above.

"Am I... going to die?"

His survival instinct alone told him that he was being hurt, but his body was still unresponsive.

"Come on, get up you bastard! Don't tell me that blow was enough to finish you off."

Oigami continued to kick Takeshi in the back hard.

Takeshi's wide eyes reflected the soft clouds that were rolling across the blue sky. The sky could very well be so hot it could burn, but at that moment he wasn't feeling anything. A liquid was dripping from his chin, but he had no idea if it was blood or something else.

"That's it, I've lost interest."

Oigami stepped back a little and turned his shoulder and the arm with which he was holding the sword. After he calmed down, he looked once more at Takeshi who was lying on the ground.

"If you surrender to <the Trailers>, I will heal you right away. Otherwise you will continue to suffer.

Oigami raised his sword, to strike the final blow. But at that moment, Takeshi noticed that the sky he was staring at began to silently distort. His limbs began to tremble, his heart began to beat so hard that it felt as if it would burst out of his chest.

Every place in his body where he had not been able to feel anything until that moment, he noticed that he was still breathing. His eyes were burning and Takeshi thought he was crying, but he wasn't. He was shocked to realize that he was using magic. It was very real and it was emanating from him.

Just like using you raise a bamboo sword in front of you, like a singing voice, it was all happening spontaneously. Takeshi saw Oigami's sword swinging towards him. However, he was aware that the scene he saw was a previous moment that had not yet occurred.

"Tch..."

Getting up, Oigami held his calf without complaining. Takeshi stood up holding the sword in his right hand and looked at his own body. He barely had a few bumps and bruises. However, his back and side were damaged as if he had been overstretched. Even if his ribs were broken the pain was not that much.

"You fucking coward, you tricked me by playing dead."

Oigami stood up after Takeshi and after looking him in the face, his eyes opened wide and he showed a wide smile.

"You're too slow to wake up, you badass. I'm impressed that you're doing it so far."

The color of Takeshi's eyes had changed and instead of their black color, they now showed a purple color.

"Clearly it can be seen that your systematic magic is evasive magic."

"..."

"Whatever. I'm not going to tell you anything else. But if you come with us I'll tell you everything. Besides, you'll get stronger."

Takeshi obviously didn't have the slightest intention of trusting what he was telling him. Doing what they do, there would be no one who would want to go with them. As Takeshi looked Oigami in the eyes with his glowing sight, he took a fighting stance. But Oigami attacked before even taking a stance.

First from the upper left side and then from the upper right. And then to his right side. Each and every attack, Takeshi blocked with his sword. He was impressed by the agility of his body as it didn't look like his body but someone else's body. His body moved before the attacks were made. As if his body understood on its own the movements of his opponent.

"Hee... that means..." Hotaru expressed impressed, however, Ushiwaka nodded replied:

"That's right... it's unusual, but... those are his evasion skills."

"Great! I want it! We have to get it to <The Trailers>  at any cost..." Hotaru exclaimed excitedly.

"Shut up, Hotaru." Oigami who had been attacking for a while now, took a moment to scold her friend. Hotaru smiled and said:

"Isn't it costing you too much? Use your <Banish Cloud> your evasive magic ability to repel and nullify his magic. You can clearly see that he doesn't know how to use attack magic. Also, your attacks are unaffected by his evasive magic.

"Shut up, Hotaru! I'll hit you."

Before they were yelling at each other, Takeshi couldn't understand the situation and was confused. At the sight of him, when Oigami raised his arms, Takeshi already knew that he would attack from the right.

"Is it a premonition? No, it has to be something else."

For Takeshi it was a completely unfamiliar feeling even though he had always practiced Kendo. It was not like a prediction, not a dream but rather just a feeling. with a speed similar to an electric current, he could have a momentary sensation as if he could read his opponent's mind.

"So.... is this magic?"

It was good to say that was completely to Takeshi's idea of magic. As he was in a daze, a shout rang out from a distant place beyond Oigami.

"You don't understand anything, do you, Oigami?"

"Kyaaa!!!"

Turning to look at the place of the scream, Takeshi realized that Hotaru was pulling Kurumi's hair.

"Isoshima!"

"In that case I'd better take care of this weakling."

Hotaru had forcibly subdued Kurumi.

"Kyaa!"

Even though Kurumi was taller, Hotaru had pinned her down by holding her arms from behind. Hotaru joined Kurumi's wrists together holding them with one hand and leaving the other hand free which she tucked under her skirt.

"Kyaa!"

Kurumi was aware that they were both girls, but she couldn't help but raise a scream.

"Wow, how sexy!" Ushiwaka exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Hey Hotaru, stop doing that." Oigami shouted.

However, Hotaru continued to move her hand tucked inside Kurumi's skirt.
[[File:V1 ilust 06.jpg|thumb]]
"This girl isn't bad. She looks slim over her clothes but she does have some meat to grab. Still, I get it in legs and butt."

After saying that with satisfaction, Hotaru took her hand off Kurumi's crotch.

"But you're too skinny..." Ushiwaka said with exasperation.

"Shut up, you vermin."

"You call a simple insect lover a vermin? What a vocabulary you have!"

"Shut up, shut up!"

With sword in hand, Takeshi kept his eyes on Kurumi and Oigami.

Hotaru then, reached into Kurumi's skirt pocket, where she felt a cylindrical object inside.

"What is it?"

Seeing that, Ushiwaka smiled and said:

"It's something of prime necessity for a young lady, but what would you know about that."

"Shut your mouth. Let's see, let me give you a hand, sweetheart."

Hotaru removed the lipstick cap, and tried to apply it on Kurumi's lips by force.

"No, stop..."

Kurumi squirmed trying to escape, but strangely Hotaru's strength seemed to be superior.

"Don't touch me..."

Kurumi didn't like it at all, however Hotaru was applying lipstick while showing an unscrupulous smile.

"I told you to stop..."

At that moment, Takeshi was perplexed as he saw something that shocked him more than what had just happened to him.

Magic particles, pink colored like cherry blossoms, began to come out of the lipstick swirling vigorously until concentrated under her feet.

A magic circle glowed very clearly under her feet.

"Is it Isoshima's magic?" wondered Takeshi inside himself.

As that happened, Kurumi's body began to change.

"Isoshima?!"

"Huh?"

Kurumi also felt that something was happening to her, but she had no idea what was going on.

"Impossible."

Due to the surprise of Kurumi's change, Hotaru unintentionally let go of her. a fact that Kurumi took advantage of.

She quickly grabbed Hotaru by the arms and subdued her in the same way she had done to her.

"Crap..."

"I got you, fufufu!"

This time it was Kurumi who was grinning mischievously.

However Takeshi was still looking at Kurumi with an expression that worried her.

"Isoshima, Your..."

"What's the matter Takeshi!?"

At Takeshi's reaction, Kurumi was finally convinced that something serious had happened to her.

"is growing..."

"what is growing on me...?

While looking at Takeshi without understanding what he was referring to, Kurumi lowered her gaze to look at herself.

"My breasts...?"

Until then, she could see looming in her field of vision, the figure of her breasts which had grown in a big way.

"That's great! We have to take her to <the Trailers> at any cost. Ushiwaka said with great excitement, but Oigami frowned with disinterest and replied:

"That's a stupid skill. What good would that do?"

"Of course it's very useful, the body transformation ability can be useful in an infiltration." Ushiwaka refuted.

Hotaru gritted her teeth in annoyance as she saw Ushikawa's excitement.

Takeshi felt it was his chance

With the sword he held in his hands, he struck Oigami in his side.

"Kuu! Damn you!"

And before Oigami regained his stance, he kicked Hotaru while still being held by Kurumi.

Then he grabbed Kurumi by the hand and ran away with her.

"Let's get out of here Isoshima!"

Until recently, he had thought it was impossible to run away, but for some reason he knew that would be fine now.

Maybe it was because of the magic they mentioned, but if he thought about it carefully, Oigami wouldn't follow him after discarding the sword, and Hotaru had received a kick from him so he wouldn't be getting up any time soon. As for the remaining guy, it was unlikely that he would chase them on his own since they were a team.

However, he thought about that until after they had fled.

When Takeshi and Kurumi escaped, Oigami picked up the sword Takeshi left lying around and slowly tucked it back into his belt.

"They ran away..." said Oigami with so much rage that he seemed to be roaring.

Ushiwaka held out his hand to Hotaru to help her up.

"I hate that bitch, damn it." Hotaru said and kicked the ground throwing a tantrum.

However, unlike the previous two, Ushiwaka was calm.

"No problem, one of my insects attached themselves to them."

Hotaru's face, upon hearing that, became involuntarily disturbed.

"Seriously... your magic is disgusting. Even for <the Trailers>."

"At least I'm more useful than you. Who caught you and kicked you."

Hotaru turned around angrily.

"What did you say?"

Oigami watched silently in the direction from where those two had fled. Obviously although Ushikawa and Hotaru were arguing, Oigami was not upset.
