“I knew it.”
Pierre sensed Isaac’s magic.
Isaac lifted the rock pillar from under his feet and soared over the waves at high speed.
Since it was only basic elemental magic, the strength of the rock would have been very weak, but Pierre knew that even that level of skill was at an excellent level at this academy.
At the right time, Isaac jumped off the rock pillar. He and Pierre made eye contact.
Just when I was wondering if they were going to make an ice board again.
Suddenly, the ice magic gathered together and several large ice blocks appeared in the air.
Isaac stepped on it and leaped forward. The large chunks of ice that had been floating in the air for a moment fell to the ground with a slight impact due to his light weight.
His figure with his back to the sun was captured in Pierre’s field of vision. The shadow of a man with his back to the dazzling sunlight followed him in a straight line.
Pierre stopped and drew water magic into both hands.
Gradually, Isaac’s shape became clearer in the sunlight.
“… … !!”
Soon, Pierre’s eyes opened wide.
That was when I saw something following the magic stone on Zanya’s staff.
That’s a magic circle. 5-star ice element magic, [Ice Explosion] technique.
It was magic that was never allowed in this race.
“Hehehe!”
The corners of Pierre’s mouth drew an arc. It was a sight that made his heart tremble.
If you activate that spell, Isaac will be disqualified. In other words, the man was planning to use himself as a discard and eliminate Pierre, the most dangerous participant in this race.
This was a common occurrence in arc ball races. This race is a team battle. Discarding becomes a tactic.
Even if Pierre had an S-class magical power, he would not be able to withstand Isaac’s 5-star elemental magic with basic elemental magic.
If I received that attack straight away, I would definitely fall down.
“It makes you happy…” !”
The remaining option is to fight back even at the risk of being disqualified. Isaac presented Pierre with such a choice.
Isaac’s goal was to protect White and commit suicide with Pierre.
Pierre happily accepted Isaac’s challenge.
Isaac was almost reaching Pierre. It seemed as if time passed slowly.
Because of the delay in assessing the situation, there was not enough time to use magic with complex calculations. However, if it was about 5 stars, it could be calculated at once.
Pierre deployed a magic circle of [Hydraulic Cannon], a 5-star water elemental magic.
Pierre grinned, rationalizing that even though he would be disqualified, there was nothing he could do to stop Isaac.
It was then.
Isaac’s eyes widened as if he was surprised. He was like a person who encountered an unexpected sight.
“what?”
Pierre felt an unexpected magical force behind his back. I was so focused on Isaac that I was late to notice.
Fluttering flames. Warmth surrounding the back.
Pierre was startled and quickly turned around.
“… … ?!”
A man with black hair, drenched in moisture, had just reached him.
The sword he held with both hands roared with flame magic.
“Ian Fairy Tail?!”
How can I not know who that black-haired man is?
Ian Fairy Tail. A light attribute character that the evil spirit sealed in the abyss wants to destroy.
Didn’t you faint?
‘no.’
Even after fainting, you came to your senses quickly.
Pierre’s basic elemental magic failed to stun Ian, a stun expert, for a long time.
Ian’s immunity to fainting was gradually getting stronger.
“Winning is!!”
Ian Fairy Tail roared and swung his sword.
“We all!!”
* * *
Oh, what?
Ian, who had fainted, came back to life. It seemed like he rushed over as soon as he came to his senses.
Could it be that he can quickly regain his senses with just one hit from Pierre’s wave?
‘Great…’ !’
This is truly a huge improvement.
Ian was holding a long sword with a landing net halfway fixed in his school uniform pants. Due to air resistance, the red flames on the blade stretched out from Ian like a tail and followed him.
Pierre kicked off the ground and hurriedly deployed a new magic circle towards Ian. Thanks to this, the magic power and calculation formula were disturbed, and the response towards me became lax. Because the magic circle of the [Hydraulic Cannon] was distorted.
Unfortunately, Ian and I, who are attacking Pierre now, are of a special breed who are considered to have outstanding physical abilities that are not typical of those in the Department of Magic.
I hate to say it, but since they were both targeting the same person, it was impossible to avoid them. I was confident that I would not miss Pierre either.
The distance has already narrowed. Our speed exceeded Pierre’s magic speed.
Pooh wow!
Ian easily dodged Pierre’s water magic by just turning his body. Pierre was greatly taken aback by the dramatic movement that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Don’t ignore our protagonist.
Soon, the flaming sword drew a brilliant solid line towards Pierre.
Grumbling!!
“Ouch, ah!”

A fiery sword attack covered Pierre and crossed the ground.
Pierre’s body burst into flames and floated in the air with a loud roar.
‘nice!’
Ian, you are the best!
Even in the midst of the fierce fire, Pierre did not lose his mind and fired the [Hydraulic Cannon] at me. It was truly admirable mental strength.
But by then, I had already fallen and had reached Pierre.
Freeing the condensed ice magic, Zanya held out her staff and activated [Ice Blast].
Quaaaaa!!
Ice magic exploded in front of Pierre’s nose.
The [Hydraulic Cannon], which was activated late, was engulfed by the [Ice Explosion]. Because he was hit by Ian’s flaming sword and the timing of the activation was delayed, he ended up getting hit by the [Ice Explosion] and his magic power was disturbed.
The ice chunks spread wildly toward the ground, turning the surrounding area into a sheet of ice.
I slid down the ice block lightly. I almost fell in the middle, so I kicked off the ice block and landed on the racetrack.
In the ice block, Pierre, with his gym clothes tanned, was displayed as if time had stopped.
Beyond him, Ian, who had been running quickly after Pierre, was catching his breath.
A squeaking sound rang out from my landing net and Pierre’s landing net in the ice block. Because he used magic exceeding 2 stars, he was disqualified.
‘This is quite… .’
It ended easier than I thought. I expected a fierce fight with Pierre.
I never expected that Ian would become an ambush.
Ian passed the ice block, looked at me, nodded solemnly and gave a thumbs up.
“Isaac, your resolve has been conveyed properly! “I will definitely come in first place!”
“uh… , okay. Go for it.”
I don’t know what kind of bullshit this is, but I also gave it a thumbs up.
Ian Fairy Tail, the main character with the will and passion that appears in a boy’s cartoon, ran along the racing track again.
His running speed was so fast that the dust rose and the wind blew.
Suddenly, I saw faculty members flying in. It seemed like they were coming to pick up Pierre and I, who had been disqualified.
“Isaac and Pierre Planche engage in a heated match and are disqualified! Fairy Tail player Ian, who joined forces with Isaac, inherits the will of his teammate who sacrificed himself and runs hard!!”
Amy’s voice and the students’ cheers echoed throughout the academy.
Amy seemed completely absorbed in the proceedings. If you look at her, she even has some strange accompaniments.
It was then.
A thudding sound was heard from the direction of the ice block. A hatch was engraved on the ice block.
I haven’t unfreezed it yet… ?
Pierre’s magic surged from within the ice block. The ice block suddenly cracked, and a stream of water came out through the gap.
“… … !”
I reflexively turned to the side and dodged the water jet that flew like a knife.
The stream of water that burst out due to strong water pressure squeezed through the narrow gap created when the ice block cracked, stretched out like a thin sword and scratched the ground.
Soon, the ice block exploded.
Kwaaaaang!
Before the ice fragments scattered in all directions, I immediately replaced them with ice magic. This was to prevent damage as there were faculty members approaching.
At the same time, like a flood breaking a dam, a large amount of water spewed out around Pierre, forming a tsunami.
Fuaaaa!!
“Wow!”
There was nowhere to escape. I raised the 4-star ice elemental magic [Ice Wall], but was pushed back along with the ice wall by the flooding water elemental magic.
The waves swallowed my body. Thanks to the [ice wall], I was able to avoid shock, but my body suddenly had to swim underwater for a while.
Pierre’s water magic quickly sank to the ground.
I touched the ground and immediately raised my head. Drops of water were dripping from my damp body.
On the race track. Pierre, who broke the ice block and fell, cleared his throat and continued to spit out blood while touching the wet ground.
Because he was directly hit by my [Ice Blast], his body was not in perfect condition.
“Student Pierre! It’s okay… ?!”
As the faculty approached, Pierre immediately deployed four magic circles around himself.
The strong magical power spread out with murderous intent. The faculty and staff paused for a moment and swallowed dry saliva.
The position of a faculty member is merely a role.
Since they were humans too, they could not help but feel fear of the magical power of humans higher up the food chain than themselves.
“Pierre Planche!! Even though he was disqualified, he deployed a magic circle towards Isaac!! “I can’t do this?!”
Amy relayed the situation.
It was an unexpected situation. He follows Alice’s instructions well, and I thought he was the most relaxed of the paladins.
There was no way he wouldn’t have known that it would be against the school rules to openly hit and fight here.
“Student Pierre, remove the magic circle immediately!!”
“You could be disqualified by mistake!! calm down! “If you fight with Isaac here, you will be disciplined!!”
The faculty desperately tried to dissuade Pierre, but his magic circle was still emitting vivid colors.
Pierre raised his head.
The moment I saw the guy’s eyes, I knew that there was no benefit in thinking about this or that.
His sunken eyes, as if his emotions had disappeared, were staring at me.
That guy was full of thoughts of killing me.
