“Roark.”
 
“Thanks for buying me time. It really helped.”
 
After blowing Kyle-sensei away with a gust of wind, I reached out a hand to Lily, who was lying on the ground, soaked.
 
“Are you okay now?”
 
“Yeah, thanks to you.”
 
I nodded to Lily’s question. It took more time than expected, but I managed to adapt…… I think.
 
“Then, would you care to tell your teacher? The trick to how you managed to use spiritual arts at your original level again?”… Read more

“Come to think of it, Lily was a multiple contractor. Is the tide turning against me a bit?”
 
“Then please wipe that relaxed smile off your face.”
 
Contrary to his words, Kyle-sensei laughed enjoyably. Roark voiced his complaint as he pulled out his medium.
 
“Roark, can you do this?”
 
“Honestly, it’s tough.”
 
In addition to not having a contracted Spirit, Roark—who couldn’t even use simple contracts or Spirit Arts properly—was currently weakened to the level of an ordinary person who merely thought they were a Spirit Master.… Read more

After walking for a while, Lily called out to Roark’s back as he walked slightly ahead. Even though it was a straight path, Roark was carefully checking the map to be sure, and he replied without taking his eyes off it.
 
“Why did you decide to become a Spirit Master, Roark?”
 
“……That’s rare. I didn’t expect a question like that from you.”
 
Roark reflexively looked away from the map and turned toward her with a surprised expression.… Read more

“Change! I want a change! There is no way I’m staying in a tent inhabited by such an eromaniac! Swap me with another member right now!!”
 
“No one is going to agree to that…”
 
“Then what about a spare tent?!”
 
“Do you think I haven’t asked? There are no spares.”
 
“So you’re telling me to spend the night in there?! That’s impossible!!”
 
“Roark, keep it down. You’re too loud.”
 
Gareth tapped Roark on the shoulder, trying to get him to lower his volume.… Read more

“Is that girl a monkey…?”
 
I muttered to myself while watching Akari, who was swaying her long black hair and leaping along the mountain path with incredible ease.
 
Her natural physical ability is probably high, but even so, her movements are too good. Is her physical enhancement functioning properly even in this environment?
 
“R-Rourke…”
 
As I was thinking that, a dying voice reached my ears from behind. When I turned around, I saw Lily, who looked even closer to death than before, slowly climbing up.… Read more

 
Chapter 1: The Training Camp Begins!
 

“Ooh, amazing.”
 
Standing on the deck, I felt the pleasant breeze on my skin as I looked at the surrounding scenery.
 
The blue sky filled my vision. Watching the majestic nature below shifting at an incredible speed, the words escaped my mouth before I knew it.
 
“Still, this is my first time on an airship…”
 
“I’ve been on one a few times. Though this is my first time on a ship of this caliber.”… Read more

Prologue
 

 
The story of my battle in the Degree Battle—where I, for likely the first time in the history of Utrea Academy, fought by commanding an Evil Spirit—spread throughout the entire academy in the blink of an eye. The whole school was buzzing with the topic.
 
Everywhere I went, I was constantly called out to and interrogated about every little detail, true or otherwise.
 
“I knew you were lying when you said you didn’t have one!”… Read more

Epilogue
 

When I opened my eyes, the ceiling above me was… not unfamiliar.
 
“……Again?”
 
It was the white ceiling I’d been seeing a lot lately—the ceiling of the infirmary. It seemed I’d been carried here yet again.
 
“……Ugh!”
 
As I slowly raised my heavy, lead-like body, a sharp pain shot through my head.
 
It really hurt.
 
“Ah, you’re awake. That’s good.”
 
“Florence, huh…”
 
Feeling a sense of déjà vu from this exchange, I checked the sensations in my body.… Read more

“Heavy Sword, Flash Dance!”
 
“Guh!?”
 
Rourke accelerated as if repelled, disappearing from Kay’s sight. In the next moment, the sound of the shattered barrier echoed, and blood sprayed from Kay’s left shoulder.
 
“……!? ……!?”
 
“It’s fine. More importantly, don’t stop singing.”
 
The one most shaken by Kay’s injury wasn’t Kay himself but Siren, his contracted spirit, who continued singing by his side.
 
Kay scolded her as she instinctively tried to stop, swiftly waving his baton to reestablish the barrier.… Read more

“Don’t regret losing.”
 
“Hate to break it to you, but I’ve never regretted anything. Please, enlighten me.”
 
“Fine. I’ll cut you down along with that Demon King!”
 
Words met with words.
 
Rourke poured all his spiritual energy into his sword spirit and the evil spirit, not caring about the consequences or the future.
 
All that mattered was this moment, with every fiber of his being.
 
“Go, Kuro!!”
 
At Rourke’s command, spiritual energy burst from the evil spirit, sending debris flying into the air.… Read more
