Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Strongest Sage, Invited the Group

" . . . Had fun fighting weaklings?"

[Combatant Mira] murmured after making sure the comm was connected .

And then, he got a reply .

"Naww nope . Fought three already, mediocre the lot of 'em . "

"It's so boring, and after we got resurrected and all . "

"Found someone decent, but he went and died right away . . . Heard there's some strong guys at Second Royal Academy, I'm about to head there . "

Looks like there have been other victims .

. . . One of them is even going after Second Academy .

Glad that we took on this case quick .

If we were late even by a few days, there could have been victims at Second Academy .

[Combatant Mira] speaks to the comm magic as I'm thinking that .

"Second Academy is a good idea . . . But there's an even more interesting opponent . "

"Interesting opponent?"

"Yeah . A swordsman who far surpasses my skills in 『Loita Swordstyle』 and 『Ias Swordstyle』 . He looks like a mere child . . . But he's strong . "

"Hou?"

It seems like that caught their interest .

But then, voices could be heard from the comm magic after a slight pause .

"Why wouldn't ya fight such an interesting opponent yerself?"

"Of course, I did . "

"Then, he ain't in this world anymore, is he? Or did he get revived too?"

Looks like his [Warmongers] friends had no doubt about his victory .

[Combatant Mira] answered back .

"He didn't die . . . Because I lost . "

"Hou?"

"I'm taking my life after this . . . Come to where I am if you want to fight someone that brought me down . "

–After hearing that, the comm magic immediately got quiet .

Before becoming lively a moment later .

"Hell yeah! Finally a decent foe!"

"Keep still you, I'll be right there!"

"Ah, no fair! Let me fight that guy!"

"First come, first served~~!"

We could hear those voices from comm magic .

An also the sound of acceleration magic for moving .

None of them was bothered by the fact that their friend had been beaten .

All of them were glad to find a strong enemy, and in a rush to get where I am .

[Combatant Mira] have transmitted his location through the comm magic, so they must be going straight at me right now .

In the meantime–[Combatant Mira] fell down .

"He just fell . . . ?"

Alma sounded perplexed to see him suddenly falling .

Looks like he intentionally made his inner mana go out of control, burning off his cerebral nerves .

"Looks like he took his own life . "

"H-he's really dead . . . "

" . . . Well, he was already dead in the first place . "

I gazed at a distant sky as I said that .

A small shadow is soaring there–coming closer at a tremendous speed .

"Looks like they're here . "

"Already!?"

"Well they were probably in the vicinity . . . Also, acceleration magic . "

I waved at the soaring shadow while using [Enforced Detection] .

"Over here!"

Then the soaring shadow flew straight here .

Its figure became clearer as it got closer .

It was a slim magician who came flying in .

He landed a few meters away from me and threw a question .

" . . . Am I the first to arrive?"

"Yeah . "

"Then let us fight before more nuisance comes . . . [Combatant Geese], engaging . "

Geese put his arms forward .

Looks like he's a pure magician type who doesn't use a sword .

『Eh, what? They're going straight to fight after that exchange?』

『It couldn't even be called a conversation . . . 』

I confront the magician while Ruli and Alma were confused .
