Although he was usually so handsome, he was actually a shining golden existence …
Kazufuru didn't have time to think any further as his body uncontrollably moved again and swung his claws at the demon!
Seiji jumped up and dodged. He then spun around in midair and heavily kicked the demon's body! There was a cracking sound from his kick.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't be able to resist against such a monster. However, this wasn't a particularly strong enemy monster for Seiji.
The demon roared and continuously swung its claws. Seiji calmly dodged and counterattacked. Every attack dealt damage to the demon!
Moments later, the demon was forced to kneel on the ground.
"Grrr!!!"
With a low roar, the horn on the demon's head began to flash with a blinding light!
The green crystals in the surroundings all released red mist that surged towards the demon's horn.
The demon's horn absorbed the red mist, and the demon's gigantic body speedily recovered from its injuries!
A sharp glint flashed in Seiji's eyes as he rushed forward and transformed into a golden light that leaped towards the demon's horn, intending to destroy it.
However, the demon roared fiercely and released a dark-red mist all over its body, releasing a powerful shockwave!
Seiji was sent flying back seven or eight meters before landing on the ground.
The dark-red mist formed a barrier around the demon's body. Its injuries were completely healed. It then stood up and gave off an even stronger aura than before.
"Grrr!!!"
With a deafening roar, it continued to attack Seiji Mukai fiercely!
The demon's attacks all contained shockwaves that greatly expanded its attack range, making it impossible for Seiji to dodge.
On the other hand, Seiji's counterattacks were blocked by the demon's barrier and weren't as effective as before.
"Harano -san …" Kazufuru's remaining consciousness was like a candle flickering in the wind.
He wanted to be saved, but it seemed that it would be difficult.
Kazufuru suddenly felt incredibly tired as he endured the pain and watched as his classmate risked his life to fight.
'I should just give up.
I should just die like this. That's the easiest way. After all, death … is just eternal sleep. '
'… Just what?
'Don't be stupid!
'I don't want to die! I definitely don't want to die!! I absolutely have to survive!!!
Seigo Harano hadn't even failed yet, so what if he gave up first!? This was too embarrassing!!
'I, Kazufuru Ooike, am not someone who's so weak!!!'
After fiercely criticizing himself, the excellent student forced himself to pull himself together and struggled with all his might to regain consciousness.
The Big Ghost's movements slowed down.
"Now!" Seiji took the opportunity to unleash the spell he had been preparing.
Spirit Saber, White Lotus!
An intense white light gathered in his hand, forming the shape of a long saber! It exuded a holy halo.
This was a new spell that he had learned. It allowed him to materialize a Mana sword as a weapon. It could also be attached to a materialized longsword to increase its power. It also had a purifying effect, and it would deal additional damage to certain types of targets … such as the demon before him.
Striding forward, he slashed!
Golden light flashed, white arcs of lightning flashed, breaking through the barrier and severing the ghost horn!
BOOM!!!
The black and red mist barrier suddenly collapsed. The big ghost screamed in pain and knelt on the ground for the second time.
Seiji took the opportunity to put away his spirit saber and raised his fist.
A ferocious beating! Beat the monster to the ground!
Kazufuri was rendered speechless.
Right after that, Seiji speedily formed a seal and cast [Evolved Purification].
A golden spell formation appeared with a blinding light and thick mist!
Kazufuri felt that his pain was rapidly alleviating. His physical senses became clearer, but his consciousness gradually became hazy …
…
He opened his eyes.
He discovered that he was lying on the dojo's floor. Harano and Seigo were sitting next to him and looking at a green crystal in their hands.
"That's …" Kazufuri recognized that this crystal was an abnormal item that had invaded his body!
"You're awake, Ooike-san." Seiji looked towards the excellent student. "How do you feel?"
Kazufuri sat up and silently felt his body.
"I'm fine … I don't feel like anything's wrong."
"That's good, then. I've successfully dispelled the spell. "Seiji showed the crystal in his hands to Kazufuri." This is the spell item that was attached to your body. "
Kazufuri inspected the crystal and saw that there were some cracks on it. There were no longer any moving blood-red runes.
"Just what exactly is this?"
"I'm not sure, either. At any rate, it's a cursed item that can transform a person into a monster." Seiji paused for a moment. "Now that it's been dispelled, you don't need to be afraid of anything anymore. Tell me how you were possessed."
Kazufuri fell silent for a moment.
"I don't remember exactly when, where, or who cursed me. I only remember what that person said …" Kazufuri explained.
Seiji seriously listened to Kazufuri and quietly thought about it.
Kazufuri looked directly at Seiji.
"Harano -san, how are you feeling?"
"Eh?"
"Are you alright? Did you get hurt in any way? "
Seiji blinked as he chuckled.
"I'm fine. No need to worry."
Kazufuri looked at Seiji for a while.
"That's good, then …" Kazufuri averted his gaze and spoke in a soft voice. "Thank you … for saving me."
"No need to be so polite. I only did what I could," Seiji responded.
Kazufuri wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
Both of them remained silent for a while.
"Let's go back, Ooike-san." Seiji stood up. "Go home and have a good rest. Enjoy Valentine's Day tomorrow."
"… It's so sarcastic coming from you." Kazufuri stood up as well.
"That's not what I meant."
"I know, but that's what I feel from my standpoint."
"Then what should I say?"
"You don't need to worry about me. Just be a good victor."
These light words were a declaration of defeat.
'You're so cool, Harano Seigo.
'It's only natural that you become the victor since you're so cool and powerful.
You don't need to care about the loser's feelings of inferiority or jealousy, because it has nothing to do with you.
'On Valentine's Day … just enjoy the joy of being the victor.
'Happy Valentine's Day, Harano -san.'
'I'll return the favor of saving me … Since I don't know how to do it, I won't say it out loud. At any rate, you probably won't mind.
'If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely return the favor! Not for your sake, but for my own pride.
'I'm a loser and an idiot. But no matter what, I'll do my best to survive in my own way.' Kazufuri thought to himself.
The two of them parted ways after leaving the Juumonji group's mansion.
Being cursed by a killer was far more unfortunate than catching a cold … but this also helped Kazufuri Ooike grow. That was what Seiji believed.
He could tell that the student council secretary's expression was different from before. It was a change for the better.
Kazufuri Ooike would likely become an even more outstanding person in the future and become even more popular.
Yet, no matter what, it was impossible for Seiji to become friends with him. This was something that was destined to happen.
The main reason was...
"Good evening, Summer Night."
"Good evening, Seiji."
"There's something that I'd like to discuss with you. Is it alright to meet with you right now?"
"Of course."
