Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu

Guwa!?

Kouma was blown away and rolled over on the ground.

Eventually he stopped and daringly threw away the raincoat he wore that probably became troublesome and stood up with his sacred sword thrust on the ground.

KuhWhy is there such strength

How does it feel? Being defeated by the guy youve been ridiculing with incompetent and gloomy and all that.

I close the distance in one go and swung down Kuromaru with the feeling of giving an additional attack to a weakened enemy.

Kouma somehow defended it with his sword, but he couldnt bear the weight and went on his knees.

Guh!

Must feel frustrating dont youHey, try say it! That its frustrating!

Dont you underestimate me!

Woah there

Kouma parried Kuromaru by tilting his sacred sword and thrusted the sword towards me while still on his knees.

Its a good attack, but I catch that with my palm.

With the sacred sword unable to go through even my palm, Kouma looked shocked.

How can that

Too bad eh.

Gah

I strike the shoulder of Kouma who stopped his movement with the back of Kuromarus blade.

Ive adjusted myself, but it felt like his collarbone broke.

(This guy really is inexperienced)

I thought, watching Kouma who crumbled down.

Neither I nor Touma would even take damage from this level of attack.

Because theres one of the abilities of a wielder, the . (; lit. armor of the sacred sword)

This is an ability that by far exceeds which reinforces the body by flowing magic power throughout our whole body.

First, weapons wont penetrate.

One is able to stop killing weapons like swords and bows and the like with their skin.

I dont quite understand the principles of it myself, but well, please think of it as our skin becoming hard when magic power flows through.

Although it doesnt perfectly protect you from blows, magic or attacks that can inflict damage to the inside, one can obtain a defence where one wont object even if you call it invincible.

In proportion to that, the magic power consumption becomes nasty if you invoke it continuously, so I normally dont use it and invoke it depending on the necessary timing.

For example, Koumas thrust just now.

That was me invoking on my palms and receiving the blow.

And on the other hand, Kouma receiving damage could say its because his isnt complete.

Even if I say my blow was weak, it doesnt serve its purpose if his bones break at that level.

Guhhaahhaah

Youre also too slow to heal.

Another ability of a wielder of the , that is . (: lit. divine protection of the sacred sword; soodo suriiru) (TN. cant find the proper western word for this, anybody got a clue?)

This ability is most straightforwardly, an ultra-regeneration of injuries.

The ability lets you instantly recover from all external wounds, damage to your body, restrictions due to magic, or things that bring about bad effects.

Whats different from recovery magic is the point where even if, for example, you die, then you can revive instantly.

Its just that it consumes magic power.

Im not sure about it, but apparently you can die if you drive out an illness without magic power, wielder or not.

A former wielder seems to have died that way, but thats a story I heard through hearsay so I dont know it well.

WellIn the famous RPG that starts with Dragon, the Hero can revive right? Im saying such system is also in this world.

There are abilities besides those butwell, I dont think its necessary with this guy as my opponent and he doesnt look like he can use it yet.

Whats wrong? Youre already healed right? Get up.

gh!

Holding his shoulder, Kouma stood up.

He readied his sacred sword, but its light is dimmer than before and hes backing away.

Hes frightened, clearly.

Theres no fighting spirit in his eyes and when I take a step forward he takes a step back.

I guess he doesnt know what he can do.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

He never expected his sword not to pierce his opponent.

He never expected his body to get injured.

His body is being controlled by his fears from his first intense pain.

This guy has already become useless.

Boring

I swing Kuromaru, aiming for Koumas head.

In order to rob him of his consciousness, this time its even weaker than the last one.

Kouma didnt movebut,

Uooooh!

I wont let you do that to Kouma!

Jirou and Mitsuki stopped that blow.

In that opening, Endou who was supposed to be on his knees until now moved and carried Kouma back under his arms.

Get out of the way.

I wont! I cant let you beat Kouma here!

Thats right! Hes an important friend of ours!

Their eyes are seriousWow, these guys are annoying.

Both of you

Its frustrating, but youre the strongest among us. Theres also the matter in the future and we cant just lose you alright?

Endou

What are they saying, these people.

The villainish part is how I usually act, but being shown such friendship drama in front of my eyes gives me the creeps.

Get up quickly! Were gonna knock down that creepy guy!

Yeah!

Koumas sword released a strong light.

That which was more dazzling and brighter than before gradually breathed light in that sword.

And thenthe sacred sword , that had locked up all its power inside its edge, was complete.

ExcaliburI see, you werent in your complete form until nowbut if its now then!

Here we go!

It really turned into something troublesome

Being surrounded by friends like a protagonist in a story, Kouma awakened into the real deal.

Theres a great difference between that and his incomplete power until just a while ago and his magic power is incomparable too.

Its a pure white blade unlike mine, but Im a little jealous of it.

I guess itll be bad if I dont go a little more seriously

Kuh!

Uwa!?

Sweeping away the two holding back my sword in front of me, I tried to leap at Kouma and

Too slow!

Uoh!?

I reflexively curve my body.

The sword tip grazed before my eyes.

Appearing in front of me in an instant, Kouma swung his sword at a speed that cant be compared with that from a while ago.

Youve gotten pretty fast havent ya!

Thanks to you, my body is light!

I also go just a little more seriously and devote myself in evasion.

There are as many chances for counter attacks as I like, but with Kuromaru I doubt Ill be able to cause any damage to the current Kouma

I know that his is fairly complete.

The sharpness of his sword is also several times

Shall I also draw out my sacred sword?

NoI would end up killing him if I do it untactfully and I also dont know how many would get mixed up and eaten.

Tch!

gh!

I parry the sword and thrust my fist into Koumas abdomen.

A dull sensation transmitted into my hand in spite of having my fist reinforced with magic power.

Kouma opened his eyes wide from being counterattacked and bearing damage albeit extremely small, and flew back in surprise.

The other three rushed towards him.

Are you alright Kouma!?

Yeahbut still, even though Ive attacked this much, to think not even one attack connected is

What could he be

Some composure could be seen in the faces of the four.

Kouma is an equal match to meis what he must be thinking.

He has the nerve to think,

that he can win,

against me.

I have some planthe three of you, please lend me your ears

They gathered together and began their discussion.

Well, usually I would do a surprise attack, but lets wait this time, like a common villain.

Got it right!? Good, lets go!

Kouma, Mitsuki and Jirou rushed out.

Kouma is naturally the fastest, but Mitsuki was also fast.

Behind them is Jirou and behind him is Endou.

And among themIll shut down Kouma first I guess.

!

Wha-tch!

The instant I try to swing Kuromaru, a large dark red lance came flying towards me.

Its on the fast side, but not much of a big deal.

When I brush it away with one hand, a large part of it fell on a pool of water and steam rose from it.

(Oh crapso this was their aim)

I, you know! I detest you! You gloomy Yuki!

From the other side of the steam thats rapidly reducing my sight, Endou called out.

Yeah, I know even if you dont tell me, I dont like you either.

Always making a blank face! And you aint never going against whatever we tell you to do

What, you wanted me to go against you?

And that attitude as soon as youve come to this world! Its sickening you know!

I sweep away the magma lances like crazy.

Steam rises each time I do so, my vision is already pure white.

HuffhuffThe likes of you!

Its a stupid bastardfiring continuously and causing himself to have short of breath.

You think Ill let the likes of you have Yuuhi-san!?

Is that so!?

A lance of unthinkable size appeared as it pierced through the steam.

Did he muster the last of his power? I cant hear that annoying voice of his anymore.

I grab that lance with one hand and crush its tip.

My right hand is a little hotit pierced my in the end huh.

Wellit was a great shot.

Now where was I

The last lance fell on the ground and steam rose together with the sound of evaporating water.

That time, I hear a swoosh-like cut sound on my right. When I put Kuromaru in that direction, clang! I hear the metallic sound twice.

It must be a knife, guessing from the lightness of the sound, its probably Mitsukis attack.

I hear sounds of footsteps from the direction the knife flew out.

At the same time, something is shining at the inside the opposite side of the water vapour.

Considering the location, its Kouma and MitsukiIf its like that then Jirou is the finisher just like last time then.

So Kouma pretended to be the one who decides the outcome, but its surprisingly JirouId think they would know his attacks wont reach me, but

When the light and footsteps approached until theyre nearby, a knife and fist comes from left and right andfist?

Take this!

I noticed after stopping the knife and fist.

The owner of the knife was, not surprisingly, Mitsuki.

However, what was releasing light wasnt Koumas sacred sword, but Jirous only light magic.

Which means the one coming from the front is

With thisits settled then!

The man who is capable of injuring meKouma.

The tip of the sacred sword that protruded, was sucked into my defenceless body is what didnt happen.

Eh?

I have grabbed and stopped the edge of Excalibur.

The point of his sword wont even reach me.

Furthermore, Jirou and Mitsuki have collapsed left and right of me.

You guys really thought you could defeat me with such cheap tactics? It was obvious, you idiots.

It means that its obvious they would decide the fight with Kouma.

In the end, Jirous attack cant get through me after all.

Next, Jirou using light magic was too foolish.

As long as magic power is used, it will get caught by my magic detection no matter how inferior it is.

Thats why I didnt worry about being dodged and thrusted my fist into Mitsuki and Jirous abdomen and made them faint.

And then caught Koumas bladeIn order to show off the difference in strength.

Its kind of over-optimistic trying to win with a power that you awakened in this place, you know that? This place isnt that convenient you know.

Difference in power is difference in power, how much you suddenly become stronger, its not something that just covers it.

A great difference is created between me and Kouma, in strength, skill and also experience.

He may have awakened his sacred sword in the eleventh hour, but it didnt cover that difference.

Whats wrong? Cat got your tongue?

I ask a question towards Kouma who sunk into silence.

I thought hes surprised, but it seems different somehow.

Kouma looks at meor more accurately behind me and thinly smiled.

Were counting on youEndou!

Got it!

What!?

What came out behind mefrom the steam was Endou who I thought couldnt move anymore back then.

Perhaps he mustve pretended to have fainted and went around behind me.

Even sowhy hadnt I felt his magic power?

Go to hell! !

Tch!

Together with the sound of something breaking, a gigantic boiling magma hammer hits me at super point blank range.

Kouma already stored away his sacred sword in another dimension and carried away Mitsuki and Jirou.

I stop the lump of magma with both hands.

Its a lump of outrageous magic power and to makes matters worse, s magic resistance isnt perfect.

My hands is getting a little hot.

All of our magic powers are put in Endous magic! Dont think you can stop it!

So thats how it is. The reason I didnt notice Endou getting closer is because his magic power ran dry.

The sound I heard of something breaking before this lump was released back thenShould probably be the sound of a magic stone being crushed.

Ive heard there were magic stones that stores magic.

If thats the case then it could contain everyones magic power and Endou can fire magic even in a zero magic power state.

Its a good strategyis probably not the time to say!

Gooooooo!

Kuh

This isnt goodIm being crush

Huffhuffserves you right.

Are you okay, Endou

Yeah, my magic powers only spent after allI can get up right away.

Kouma lent his shoulder to Endou who collapsed and escaped from inside the steam.

He left him at the place Jirou and Mitsuki was resting and once again confirmed the locationhewas in from the outside.

He couldnt see well from the steam, but he was certain he was inside.

Endou felt a definitive response and Kouma too had confirmed where he was about to be crushed by the lump of lava.

Did hereally die?

Hehhe got what hes coming for.

Kouma thought he shouldnt talk like that to a man who was their classmate, even as a joke, but he himself fought with the intent to kill and noticed it was like a pot calling the kettle black.

It was the man who brainwashed Yuuhi, dying is naturalhaving such conclusion, Kouma justified his own deeds and was made to agree.

More importantly you, is it fine not to go to Yuuhi-san? She probably became sane again.

What are you going to do. Endou, even you like

Its fine, okay! Im fine with it. Youre suitable for Yuuhi-sanThats why Im fine with it already. Go already, once I can move again Ill also go.

Got it.

Kouma who could still move cleared away the aftertaste of victory and began walking towards the direction Yuuhi had gone.

It wasthat moment.

gh!?

The two instantly turned pale.

Shoulders were heavy.

By the terrible pressure, Kouma went on his knees and Endou twitched and became unable to move.

Aahmy bad. Ive been underestimating you a little, you guys.

Perhaps to them, it was the voice they least wanted to hear in the world right now.

From inside the steam that was still enveloping,heappeared
