Ayami Himiki's potato chips fell out of her mouth once again.
"Heroic spirit … Minamoto no Raiko …" She stared at the scene in front of her in astonishment.
At first, she thought that it was a newbie, and she was confused as to why the handsome guy in the trench coat who was summoned by the Red Team as a Spirit-branded Retainer had such a …
It was already rare enough for a Great Demon Shutendoji to appear, but now a heroic spirit had appeared, and it just had to be Minamoto no Raiko!?
What the hell!? Just what was happening!?
The legendary duel was happening right in front of her! This wasn't a hallucination or a movie!! It was the real deal!!!
Just what was going on with this duel!?
Ayami was stunned.
Did the Red Team predict that Shutendoji would appear, so they prepared a heroic spirit?
No, no, that was impossible!
Summoning a heroic spirit was no easy feat, and summoning a specific heroic spirit, especially one like Minamoto no Raiko, was an incredibly difficult task!!
It was impossible for a Yin Yang Master like the Wanhua Clan's Grand Mistress to do such a thing, no matter in terms of strength, resources, or any other factor.
It was probably a coincidence that a heroic spirit had appeared … but even if it was a coincidence, wasn't this too much of a coincidence!?
Just how lucky would a beginner-level Yin Yang Master like her have to use a newbie as a vessel to summon a superior heroic spirit?
And just how much of a coincidence would it take for it to be Minamoto no Raiko, who was specifically targeting Shutendoji!?
The probability of such a coincidence happening was even lower than winning the lottery!!
Ayami was more willing to believe that there was more to it.
But just what was going on? The Okubo Clan's young master summoning Shutendoji could be explained as him using some sort of special item, such as a mysterious crystal. But the Wanhua Clan's Grand Mistress summoning Minamoto no Raiko was incomprehensible.
A beginner-level Yin Yang Master needed to use up a large amount of Mana and some luck to summon a powerful demon. As for summoning a Great Demon specifically, that would be extremely difficult, but it wasn't impossible.
But to specifically target a superior heroic spirit … at least with Ayami's knowledge, she couldn't imagine how the Wanhua Clan's Grand Mistress was able to do such a thing!
It was too surreal and incomprehensible.
It was impossible to do, impossible to happen.
But the truth was right before his eyes.
In the scene, Shutendoji, who was smashing his wine gourd, and Minamoto no Raiko, who was swinging his longsword, were engaged in an intense battle. Red and green flames clashed, creating an earth-shattering scene.
If not for the isolation barrier covering the entire battlefield, everyone in the area would have been alarmed.
Beautiful Silk's thoughts had sunk into a quagmire.
No matter what the truth was, she just needed to watch this rare legendary battle, record it, and abide by her duty.
He cared a lot about it!
The judge frowned and continued to watch the battle.
…
The crimson flames, which contained traces of black gas, came crashing down like a huge wall!
"He's using such a big move again …"
Seiji, who was unable to dodge, raised his saber and condensed a green flame. He forcefully slashed out with his saber and broke the red flame.
But at this moment, the huge wine gourd pierced through the side of the scarlet flame and smashed towards it at an extremely fast speed!
BOOM!!
Seiji was hit hard by the wine gourd.
Even though he used his ingenious footwork to deflect most of the impact, he was still injured, and his whole body was sent flying.
A red-haired figure suddenly flashed to his side.
Seiji immediately adjusted his posture and swung his saber. He managed to hit the figure, but he didn't feel anything.
"Oh no …" The attack was too fast.
A true attack from the side viciously struck him from behind!
Seiji was sent flying high into the air.
Before he could regain his balance, another powerful attack from above viciously struck his back!
He crashed into the ground like a meteor, creating a large crater in the ground with a loud boom.
There was no time for him to breathe as the huge wine gourd smashed downwards!
* Boom!!! *
The ground caved in deeply, and spider-web-like cracks spread in all directions.
Shutendoji landed in front of the wine gourd and smiled proudly as he looked at the bottom.
But the next second, he froze and turned to look in another direction.
He saw a purple-haired boy wearing a tight-fitting vest standing there, panting lightly.
Shutendoji silently lifted the wine gourd, only to see that there was only a shirt underneath.
"Cicada Shedding … hmph, you're quite good at escaping spells," he said condescendingly.
Seiji responded with a calm smile.
But in his heart, he was already shouting.
"This isn't good! Light-chan can't defeat him!! How could this be!? "
"This demon has become so strong. He's too strong …"
"What should we do!? If we keep fighting like this, we'll be the ones to be killed! "
"Haha, sometimes things like this happen …"
"Hey hey! Don't scare me! You're Shutendoji's assassin!! What if you get killed by Shutendoji instead!? "
"… There's always going to be some accidents.
Please don't let any accidents happen in a place like this!! "
Seiji screamed from the depths of his soul.
The huge wine gourd smashed towards him again.
"Haruta-kun …"
While Seiji was dodging, he heard a voice in his ear.
"President! Are you alright? Where's Shuho-san? How is she!? "
"I'm fine … Hitaka … was seriously injured … but at least he survived." Summer Night's voice sounded rather strained.
Seiji could tell that she was currently incredibly weak due to using up too much of her energy.
Subduing the Corpse Demon, fighting a fierce battle against Okubo, casting a spell to strengthen his heroic spirit, and saving the heavily injured Hitaka … All of these actions had drained her of all her energy.
"It's good that he's still alive." That was all Seiji could say.
"Haruta-kun … I saw … your situation …" Summer Night continued.
Seiji remained silent.
Right now, it was already quite difficult for him to dodge Shutendoji's fierce attacks, and he couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack.
The difference in strength between them was too great!
Even if his heroic spirit's attributes countered Shutendoji's, the difference in strength was too great, and he wouldn't be able to win.
"If this continues … I'll lose … I'm going to … give the rest of my spell formation's power … to you …"
"No! You've already used up too much energy; if you do it again … you'll definitely be fine!! "
Casting an emergency spell to strengthen his heroic spirit was an action that consumed a lot of energy.
Earlier, Summer Night had knelt down right after completing the spell, giving Seiji quite a fright. That was when he realized just how dangerous this spell was.
If he did it again, the president, Grand Mistress, wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
"Yes … but … Hitaka … Rona … you … were all fighting for my sake …" Summer Night panted.
Seiji could almost see her struggling to stand up.
"Hitaka almost died … Rona was also heavily injured … and you're still risking your life to fight …
"I … how can I … only let you guys bear the burden …"
Her voice was filled with determination.
She was determined to bet her life on it.
"President …"
"Haruta-kun … I'll leave the rest to you …"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Then, Seiji saw that the spell formation around the school lit up! It was glowing brightly.
A rainbow-colored pillar of light suddenly fell upon him.
This pillar of light transmitted a tremendous amount of energy to him!
In an instant, Seiji felt like he could see many things.
The school, the students, the teachers, the boys, and the girls, laughing, chatting, walking, sitting, having classes, exercising …
Countless scenes, countless voices, countless emotions, and countless thoughts flashed past his mind.
There was only one word that was particularly clear.
The school festival.
The annual festival that all the teachers and students were looking forward to, which was coming tomorrow!
"Ahhhhh!!!" Seiji began to burn with passion.
His entire body burned with a blue flame, and his entire body rapidly transformed within the flames.
"Seiji -sama! If this continues, you'll … "
"It's fine! Isn't it just a damaged soul!? I can take it! "
"Seiji -sama …"
"Light-chan, it's time to decide the victor! You must defeat him!! "
"Yep … Summer Night -sama's trust, Seiji -sama's trust, this humble one … will definitely not let you down!!"
The large wine gourd smashed towards him again.
But a blue light flashed, and the wine gourd was split in half in midair! With two rumbling sounds, it smashed into both sides.
The blue flame dissipated.
What reappeared was a tall warrior wearing a blue armor, a luxurious horned helmet, and wielding a silver runic longsword in both hands.
His eyes and the edge of the sword were burning with a blue flame that was as cold as water.
He raised his sword and swung it.
Boom!!
