Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 1 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 8===
 
<Scarlet Dusk>, the strongest terrorist group, rivaling Babel in strength, that rejects COCOON’s belief. A group formed by elite youth alternative world returnees, and currently the only organization with power that is capable of competing against the ruler of this world, COCOON.
 
At the same time, it is a target that Ousawa Akatsuki was searching for.
 
If Tanaka was really part of <Scarlet Dusk>, it means that Akatsuki took a major step forward towards his target.
Seeing Akatsuki activating the AD, waving his right hand, a giant black demon sword appeared in the air shining ominously. Akatsuki held the hilt tightly and stared at Tanaka.
 
“…This was unexpected.”
 
Facing Akatsuki’s questioning, Tanaka revealed a wry smile.
 
In Akatsuki’s eyes, this was the true appearance consoling himself after being found out.
 
“—“
 
Akatsuki pushed off with both feet, swiftly moving forward. Under the effects of Renkan Keikikou, Akatsuki did not need to accelerate; his first speed was already his fastest speed. The distance between the two instantly disappeared, and he was about to enter the demon sword’s attack range.
 
At this moment —
 
“Gu—!”
 
Akatsuki once again had been hit, this time from behind. The strong impact pushed out the air from his lungs, his feet flying in the air, causing Akatsuki to lose his balance and fall forward.
 
However, Akatsuki did not release the demon sword. Falling forward caused him to enter the attack range of the demon sword, so Akatsuki endured the pain, and strugglingly swung the demon sword in his hands. The giant blade flashed through the air, and he saw a slash that was going to cut Tanaka in half, but Tanaka’s magic attack was a step faster and accurately hit Akatsuki in the jaw.
 
His brain violently shook. When he was about to lose consciousness, Akatsuki accelerated his body’s flow, forcibly reviving the nervous systems and regaining control of his own body.
 
“—It’s not over.”
 
Tanaka said. Akatsuki received another attack on his right side. Sounds of his ribs being hit could clearly be heard.
 
Under Babel’s barrier, magic damage would not affect the body. But the damage mentally could not be removed, the person being attacked will feel intense pain.
 
“Guuuuu…!”
 
However, he could still endure this degree of pain. Akatsuki’s feet landed on the corridor wall, his body was coincidently vertical to the wall, then he pushed off to once again attack Tanaka. Before entering the demon sword’s attack range, Akatsuki swung the demon sword, cutting the space in front of him.
 
A solid feeling, and a crisp metallic crashing sound.
 
Tanaka was taken aback, but Akatsuki did not relax.
 
“—Next is below!”
 
Seeing through Tanaka’s mind, the demon sword slashed downwards, resulting in accurately hitting the target, and preventing the attack that was difficult for the naked eye to see.
 
—When Akatsuki was being pummeled from behind earlier, he still swung the sword, an attack with all his strength. At that time, Tanaka’s counterattack from below was barely able to avoid it. Akatsuki believed that at that time, the attack and defence should be imprinted into Tanaka’s head. As long as he shortens the distance, Tanaka will follow his own experiences and counter them from below.
 
Akatsuki was confident in his own judgment. Two consecutive attacks were broken so Tanaka must be feeling anxious deep inside. Space magic requires a cool judgment and sophisticated calculations. Once he noticed that Akatsuki, who was thrown far away, would actually come back up, the user would naturally lose his calmness, and would not be able to activate his planned magic.
 
Right now, Akatsuki and Tanaka’s distance had already entered the demon sword’s attack range. If he swings the demon sword right now, he would be able to accurately hit his target before Tanaka’s counterattack. So he should do it, an unavoidable blow!
 
The demon sword swung across Tanaka’s body.
 
“—?”
 
But it felt like it was cutting through air. After he was aware that his attack was dodged by his opponent, Akatsuki noticed that Tanaka rapidly moved backwards, leaving the demon sword’s attack range.
 
The reason lay upon the magic activated on his body. It should not be space magic, Tanaka did not have enough to spare. Akatsuki vaguely remembered that when Tanaka avoided the attack, the field suddenly had a gust of wind blow, this was the best evidence. He could not be wrong, this must be the wind attribute high speed movement magic that the vice president Nanase Haruka specializes in.

Once this thought flashed through his mind, Akatsuki’s body once again flew off to the air.[[File:HYnA vol 01 012.jpg|thumb]]
 
… How did this happen?
 
 
His body’s hard ki immediately provided a timely protection, but his thoughts were thrown in disarray.
Using a variety of different attribute magics is not rare, in fact, Miu who specializes in wind magic can also use fire and water magic. But no matter air, water and fire all belong to elemental magic, all of them require the gods’ or elves’ power to chant, basically the nature of the product is essentially the same.
 
However, space and gravity magic that is physics-based magic is completely different than elemental magic. Due to its special nature, the user should only be able to learn one type of magic, also learning elemental magic is almost impossible.
 
“Could it be that <Scarlet Dusk> was able to do it…?”
 
“—You’re mistaken.”
 
Tanaka saw through Akatsuki’s thoughts.
 
With a tone that was devoid of any traces of emotions, like a cold machine.
 
“The real <Scarlet Dusk> or COCOON  are monsters, so they are able to learn magic with different nature. I cannot learn physics-based magic and elemental magic at the same time, but defeating you isn’t a big problem.”
 
“What—…Guuu!”
 
Tanaka’s speech made Akatsuki completely surprised. At this moment, a powerful impact once again came to attack. Akatsuki, who was in midair, revealed a painful expression.
 
Seeing this, Tanaka revealed a slight smile.
 
“Looks like your hard ki can only correspond to one direction, and cannot defend against unexpected attacks. That being the case—“
 
…Behind?
 
Akatsuki forcibly changed his posture, and swung his hand holding the demon sword behind him. Feeling a sense of a solid hit, a sharp metallic sound came out in the air, but his back still received a direct hit.
 
“W…Whoaa! To activate two attacks from both sides!”
 
“Did I say I can only attack from one direction? Sorry, but that was only your own thinking.”
 
The reason was simple.
 
“My own created wind-based magic has no dead angles.”
 
After saying this, Tanaka immediately released consecutive attacks. A strong impact came from all directions: front, back, left, right, up, down. It did not give Akatsuki any time to catch his breath.
 
“Don’t imagine you can win!”
 
Akatsuki, who was being attacked by multiple waves of impacts in midair, desperately swung his demon sword. Although the demon sword’s blade was huge, the range it could counter attack was limited, as it could only face one direction at a time. With correct timing, perhaps it could simultaneously counter two directions, but it was impossible to counter the other four directions.
 
“…Uhhh! Kuuuhh~~!”
 
Tanaka did not show any mercy. Akatsuki was rapidly accumulating damage. His actions suddenly slowed down and it was difficult to block attacks from two directions.
 
“…!”
 
Finally, he completely lost the ability to counter attack, becoming a sandbag that could not fight back.
 
A period of time passed.
 
 
Akatsuki’s right hand loosened, the demon sword dropped from midair and disappeared into multiple black particles before hitting the ground. The release of the materialization meant that the user had lost his consciousness.
 
However, Tanaka did not relax, but rather accelerated the pace of his attacks.
 
“If I continue to attack like this, I’m afraid that others would discover it.”
 
Even when Akatsuki had lost the ability the resist, Tanaka’s attack continued for 3 minutes. During that period, probably over a thousand air bullets—which was Tanaka’s own created wind-based magic—hit Akatsuki. Now that he had finally stopped his attacks, Akatsuki’s body fell from the air and hit the ground.
 
…How vulnerable.
 
Glancing at Akatsuki who was lying down on the floor motionless, Tanaka turned away.
 
“—?”
 
Tanaka, who was planning to leave the scene, suddenly turned his head.
 
“—Too late!”
 
Akatsuki’s demon sword slashed downwards towards Tanaka’s head.
 
Tanaka immediately activated high speed magic to dodge from the right side. The huge black blade passed by Tanaka’s left side, and did not hit the target. But this was enough.
 
“Guuu—!”
 
His face revealing a painful expression, his right hand pressed onto his injured left shoulder, he stared at Akatsuki who was standing in front of him, waiting.
 
Only to see Akatsuki easily raise the demon sword to the back of his shoulder.
 
“Your speed is definitely fast, Very impressive.”
 
“Losing consciousness was only your acting…? You even made the AD materialized weapon disappear, your acting was really realistic.”
 
“There was no other way. It was the only method to find a counter attack chance.”
 
“But I don’t understand.”
 
Tanaka exposed a puzzled look.
 
“Under my magic attacks, how can you still stand up?”
 
Akatsuki shrugged, and easily replied:
 
“Thanks to my hard ki.”
 
His tone was saying that it was natural.
 
“Impossible.”
 
Tanaka did not accept Akatsuki’s response.
 
“My attacks came from six directions, how could your hard ki possibly —“
 
After saying half of what he was about to say, Tanaka suddenly understood.
 
Akatsuki helped Tanaka by saying the possibility in his head.
 
 
“My hard ki can only face one direction? That was your way of thinking.”
