Da-da-da-da-da, the bolts fly around me as I run on the road.

I create a staircase-like Barrier at my feet, run up in the air, and get on the roof of a 4-story building.

I strengthen my body with magic and move at high speed on the roof at the speed of a horse.

Gan, gan, the Barrier makes the bolts bounce off, crack, and split.

Each time a new Barrier is brought forward.

Run, run, run.

As I approached, the power of the bolts increased, piercing the barrier and hitting my body.

I touch my hands, and rub my feet.

The kinetic energy of the bolt is almost gone when it breaks through the Barrier, so it’s just a scratch.

Emile raises his hand, it’s almost the range of the shortbows waiting.

When he puts his hand down, the short-bowman’s arrows come, and I chant at the same time.

“Light.”

Immediately after covering my eyes with my hands, I collapsed it with 8 times the magical power!

Bashyaaa!

I can feel a strong flash even through my closed eyes.

Without a pause, Anne-san’s explosive arrow blew up the roof of the clock tower.

“Guaah! Eyes, my eyes~~”

Varsu, varsu.

Flash magic has excellent compatibility with long-distance attacks.

To aim, you have to look at the target.

I make the Barrier into steps and run up to the clock tower.

On the roof, Emil and the archers are squirming with their eyes closed.

Hehehe, there’s just a difference in elevation, but what you do is always the same.

I arrive on the roof of the clock tower, I aim at the center of Emile’s body.

I run over and swing my legs.

Mekyoriki.

“Ugyeoegwabaaaaa!!!”

There was an unpleasant sound and feel, and Emile screamed and was blown away, tumbling down from the clock tower.

I thought he was going to fall to his death, but on the way down, a woman in light armor caught Emile in the air and whisked him off.

Tch, lucky guy.

“Kusooo! Withdraw! Emile Squad, withdraw!!”

The woman in light armor issued a command, and the sound of a large number of people moving inside the clock tower rang out.

“Zamaa,” I teased.

Uhya, uhya, I won, I won.

While immersed in the afterglow of victory, I went down the Barrier Staircase to the street while using Light Heal to treat minor wounds here and there.

As I walked towards Carol, the three of them rushed over.

“Makoto!! Don’t do something so dangerous!! I thought my heart would stop!!”

Carol grabbed my shoulders with both hands and shook me.

“I-I’m sorry, I couldn’t stand it.”

“That’s still no excuse!! So please don’t do that!”

“Yeah, sorry for worrying you.”

Carol put her hands on my back and hugged me tightly.

I could feel her fast heartbeat.

Ah, did you really worry about me?

I’m sorry.

And when I hug her, she’s warm, soft, and very happy.

Anne and Dulcie, no, even Carol, their eyes are dazed.

I put my hands on their eyes one by one and cast Heal on them.

As expected, it was an 8-fold Flash magic, and it seemed to be effective even at that distance.

“The glare in my eyes has disappeared, thank you very much,” Anne said.

“Thank you,” Dulcie said.

“How many times was that Flash?” Carol asked.

“8 times. Emile is probably blind, and I think it will take a while to heal,” I said.

“Is that so? Flash magic is best suited for long-distance specialized types,” Anne-san said, looking at the battle situation in a well-balanced way.

It feels like a veteran and it’s really good.

Dulcie seems a little weak around here.

“However, Makoto-sama, you’re amazing to defeat a member of the Ten Greats alone. Especially the practicality of Barrier magic is useful for sneaky approaches.”

Barrier magic is a cheat, it’s invisible, it’s a foothold, and it’s unfair.

I think it can still be applied.

Dulcie’s eyes were moist, and the hands clasped in front of her chest were trembling.

""

“Hey, what’s wrong, Dulcie?”

Did, did I make you cry–!?

“I, I’m sorry, Makoto-sama, I, I’m…”

Carol is still hugging me, so I can’t give Dulcie comfort.

On the other hand, I don’t want to shake off Carol.

I just put out my hand.

Dulcie lovingly took my hand and embraced me.

“You can’t die, absolutely, I will protect you.”

Hmm, something must have happened to Dulcie in the past.

The reason why she’s furious at the Great Temple.

I hope someday you will speak for yourself.

An officer came and we explained the situation.

I was told to refrain from fighting in the royal capital, but please tell that to the ambushing side.

12 blind archers were seized and lowered from the roof.

They are expected to be taken to the Security Bureau for questioning.

Well, Duke Pottinger will probably be involved behind the scenes.

Otherwise, a silly joke of a group like the Ten Greats wouldn’t have been made.

“Come on, let’s go back to school.”

“Yes.”

Carol has been in contact with me for a long time, probably because I have a habit of hugging her.

With arms crossed, Carol and I started walking towards the school.

The intelligence maids went into hiding again.
