「《For eternal peace…》」
The distance between Purume and Klein spans from one end of the Guild’s training ground to the other—about 40 meters. This is their starting position for the duel.
「What’s with that leisurely chanting when you’re in one-on-one combat with someone who isn’t a mage?」
Purume advances at a relaxed pace and snaps her fingers.
「《Torch》」
The magic she weaves is considered the most basic among beginner-level spells—the first one taught, the simplest and most straightforward fire magic that just lights a flame. However—
「Hot!」
The small flame that appears precisely at Klein’s hands is enough to disrupt his chanting.
「Come on, while you’re busy with that, the distance between us is shrinking.」
Purume’s walking pace remains unchanged. She walks with such leisure that she might as well be taking a stroll.
「《Fireball》!! Go get ’em!!」
With his advanced magic interrupted and running out of time, Klein releases a beginner-level Fireball with a shout that sounds like he’s cheering on a toy race car.
「It’s totally obvious you just fired that out of desperation, you idiot.」
Purume instantly accelerates to top speed and casually dodges the ball of flame in front of her. By that point, she’s directly in front of Klein—
「That’s cheating!!」
Klein shouts, sweat pouring from his forehead like a waterfall.
「No way it is.」
Just as she speaks, she delivers a powerful uppercut to his body. Klein’s body bends into an L-shape.
「This works best on guys like you.」
The impact is so strong that he can’t even swallow, and saliva drips from the corner of his mouth.
「Ugh, eeh.」
「This isn’t over yet, is it? Mr. Prodigy.」
Klein, down on one knee, somehow manages to stand up and distance himself from Purume, either out of pride or stubbornness. Of course, Purume doesn’t pursue him. She’s observing his next move.
「Huff, guh. I’ll never forgive you for this.」
She doesn’t mind that he still talks trash even when he’s about to break. However, he should have put that spirit to better use—instead, in this desperate situation, he’s just holding humanity back.
「Good, do whatever you want.」
Break his spirit.
「I’ll kill you!!」
Klein begins to chant a high-difficulty advanced fire spell. Purume doesn’t interfere, letting him do as he pleases. Eventually, it nears completion, and a giant fireball forms above Klein.
「《Flame Strike》!!」
With a thunderous 「GOOOOOOO!!」 the fireball launches from him.
「This will burn you to ashes!!」
But that’s not how it’s going to play out—
「《Spit Fire》」
Purume chants. Around her, twenty small flames appear floating. Each one is the beginner-level 《Torch》 spell.
「《Go》」
At her powerful command, the flames simultaneously dive toward the fireball.
「What can those tiny sparks do?!」
Klein shouts with all his might. But the two of them are already looking at completely different scenes.
「They can do this.」
Anyone who knew what they were looking at would understand. The seventeenth flame Purume released touches the core of the 《Flame Strike》—
「No way—」
Klein’s words fail him. But they’re in the middle of battle. There’s no time to be surprised. Klein doesn’t understand this. Purume is already right in front of him.
「Uguebaaa—」
Her fist pierces into Klein’s face.
「What I used earlier was just beginner-level magic.」
By the way, she refrains from saying that her daughter could produce over a hundred flames. Instead:
「Your magic lacks control, the release speed is too slow, and the core is too visible… it’s completely useless. Totally useless.」
No one knows who she’s comparing him to.
「More importantly… weren’t you going to ‘kill’ me?」
She grabs the fallen Klein, forces him to stand up, and compels him to cast magic again, as if saying 「Try it.」
This will continue until Klein’s spirit breaks… no, until it’s completely shattered, flattened, and crushed beyond recognition. In this training ground, Klein is the only one who doesn’t know what’s happening. Some onlookers look away, others cover their eyes. The most perceptive among them despair at the situation, wondering if they might be next.
