Chapter 5 - The One Who Will Succeed the Demon King

Part 1

“What on earth is this—“

Clad in the devastating winds of the magic wind spirit, Ellis, who appeared gallantly, became speechless.

There was an unbelievable scene spread out before her eyes.

The knights of the Sylphid Knights, who maintained the public order of the academy, were collapsed on the ground in heaps.

Only academy students with excellent results could enroll into the Sylphid Knights. That was—

(Don’t tell me, they were defeated by just one intruder!?)

In the middle of the darkness, where there was a drizzle.

A small figure, who put on an overcoat with a hood, was standing in the middle of the collapsed girls.

“Was it you, bastard? The one that did this!”

Ellis asked a direct question. Her hand was already armed with the elemental waffe –<Ray Hawk>.

It was just about 30 minutes ago that she heard the report that an intruder had appeared in the academy and plundered the classified materials of the seal specification from the library. Ellis immediately put out a pursuit order to a platoon of the Knights, and while she used her wind spirit to give instructions to every platoon, she was pursuing the intruder by herself.

And then, upon travelling at high speed to the place where she lost contact with them, they were in that state.

The spirit contractor before her eyes kept quiet. Just a scorning presence was transmitted.

“—I see, in that case, I’ll make you talk whether you like it or not.”

The <Ray Hawk>, which Ellis took a stance with, got filled with wind thunderously.

Just by looking, the figure of a contracted spirit could not be found in that person’s surroundings. It seemed like that person wasn’t holding an elemental waffe either.

However, the spirit contractor, before her eyes, had already defeated 5 girls from the Knights.

(Is she using a type of spirit that possesses the flesh?)

The opponent’s identity was completely unknown. Or, from the absence of the figure of a contracted spirit, was the opponent not a spirit contractor?—No, that can’t be it. For example, even if one launched a surprised attack, something like a person, who wasn’t even a spirit contractor, to defeat five Knights members alone was impossible.

(In that case, I’ll have to ascertain it with these eyes of mine—!)

Ellis took a stance with Ray Hawk and attacked like a gale.

The opponent finally reacted. A muffled voice was heard from under the hood—

“—Manifest, Wolf Fang.”

At that moment, a pattern of lines appeared on the ground, and a spirit with the appearance of the ferocious wolf was summoned.

“That’s your spirit, huh? However, it isn’t a match for my magic wind spirit!”

As she ran, Ellis wielded her lance perfectly horizontal.

The gale she released mowed down the roadside trees while rushing toward Wolf Fang.

Ellis accelerated like she was being sucked in by her self-made wind vortex, and ignoring the stranded Wolf Fang, aimed directly for the spirit contractor.

Tan!—She kicked the ground. Her academy skirt waved about and Ellis had jumped.

She was about to do her specialty, a nose-dive attack from the sky. It was a technique that had defeated all the upperclassmen during the practice matches.

With the contracted spirit stranded, the spirit contractor, who became defenseless, looked up.

And then, the person faced Ellis and turned his palm towards her.

“What!?”

“—Manifest, Blast Gear!”

At that moment, a bluish-white lightning, released from his palm, was fired at Ellis.

Ellis, who had not been expecting anything like an attack coming towards her, received a direct attack and was blown away without being even able to dodge in mid-air.

Without delay, Wolf Fang rushed in and attacked. It pushed down on Ellis, who was thrown onto the ground, and tried to bite down on her windpipe. On the verge of that—

Hyuu! She thought she heard a sound that ripped apart the air, then, Wolf Fang’s body was severed into four parts in an instant, burning up into ashes.

“…!?”

Eliis raised her face, and traced the crimson remains that ripped apart the night sky with her eyes—

“You owe me one, Ellis Fahrengart.”

Raven Class’s Claire Rouge descended with her Flame tongue in her hand.

And then—

“Ellis, are you alright?!”

Armed with a silver sword, Kazehaya Kamito came running.
