“I hereby declare the opening of the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival!”
Along with the opening declaration by the Archbishop of the Spiritism Religion, cheers resonated throughout the entire Holy City.
“…………”
The origins of the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival were said to be a dance dedicated to the good god Arumati, enshrined in this Holy City, and the spirits considered his messengers—in other words, a Kagura.… Read more
“Now then, where should I go?”
I stepped out of the overly luxurious inn provided for the festival participants and was looking over the map given to me by the Institute when someone tapped my back.
“Yo.”
“Lily, huh?”
I turned to see Lily looking up at me. If she were an assassin targeting me, I feel like I would have been killed ten times over by now… well, putting that aside—
“Do you want to walk around the city with me?”… Read more
“So, you just sort of… ended up being chosen as a representative?”
“Yes…”
A short while after finishing our intensive week-long training camp, I had paid a visit to my master, Owen-sensei, to report that I would be participating in the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival.
“Fufu, you’re probably the only person in the world who would get this depressed over being chosen for the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival, Rourke.”… Read more
Interlude: A Girl’s Reminiscence
With the members for the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival officially decided, everyone was training toward the actual event—addressing weaknesses, checking coordination among the representatives, and improving basic skills like spiritual arts and physical abilities.
The students who unfortunately didn’t make the cut stayed behind, continuing to participate as support roles. The students of Eutrea Academy were united in their efforts for the training camp.
“The descending calamity—Gugh, haa, haa……”
A chant cut short, a formula collapsing before her eyes.… Read more
“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
