Nathan

  Year 2851 | Month 2 | Day 30

  Their battle lasts for several hours straight before one of the Class S magicians finally begins to leave. That, unsurprisingly, being the wind affinity Class S magician of the bunch. The one that kidnapped me in the first place.

  Which makes sense, seeing as she’s probably the one using the most mana out of the lot to continue fighting. And the weakest of the bunch. Seeing as the others there are rather special.

  The anti-magician, who is barely using mana to do anything other than just coat his weapon and block attacks and keep him airborne.

  The death magician who has been increasing his mana supply for ages now, making the amount he uses rather moot in this battle.

  The fire magician who is known as one of if not the most powerful magician of his age on the continents. Probably because he comes from outside of the continents.

  And the space magician who is also one of the most powerful magicians of the continents.

  In all honesty, Emma can’t really compare with any of them. Except maybe Artorius, since the Chairman is the newest to become a Class S magician.

  He still wins out in endurance though just because of his affinity.

  As for why Emma decided to do all of this despite knowing her weakness compared to them?

  It was probably because she expected to get some sort of results in the time it took for them to get here. Only to fail at that instead.

  I also doubt she expected so many Class S magicians to come.

  Honestly, I didn’t expect that either. But their little arguments in the second half of their battle explained why the other two came.

  She doesn’t exit the battle without leaving a little something behind though. Which I find myself flying high into the air because of as I ride the damned tornado she threw behind herself in her departure.

  This stupid tornado is making it difficult to watch the others. I can’t see anything through it after all.

  Thanks to the tornado – which is so big it is larger than the laboratory itself was before it was destroyed – I end up being thrown around for over an hour. Then the tornado finally begins to toss me outside of it, leading to me just falling straight down towards the ground.

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  While I’m falling, I make sure to use the height to search for the other Class S magicians. And just as I expected, none of them are in the tornado right now. With all four of them being outside of it and still fighting.

  Although, two of them seem to be injured, and they’re not too far from the tornado either. With the tornado actually moving in their direction. So there’s that.

  Of the ones that were injured, there’s the Chairman of the Republic, whose anti-magic barrier must have been shattered by the sheer power of the tornado, and there’s Juan, whose particular affinity doesn’t do all that well at defending against wind. Seeing as wind and fire are an… odd mix.

  Wind enhances fire but isn’t really put out by fire. In fact, wind is also enhanced by fire.

  The two enhance each other.

  So it’s not exactly easy to defend against fire or wind with each other.

  Although it is a bit easier to defend against wind with fire than the other way around. At least for a Class S magician.

  After all, the fire also involves heat, whereas the wind doesn’t have any effect on the temperature. Making it entirely possible to boil the wind magician alive if they use the wrong type of barrier. Even if the flames don’t directly reach them.

  My thoughts are cut off when Juan does something unexpected.

  When the tornado gets too close for comfort for the other magicians, they begin to build distance between themselves and it again. But not Juan. Nope. Instead the fire Class S magician creates a massive sphere of flames around him before shooting out a massive geyser of flames into the tornado.

  Turning the tornado into a tornado of flames.

  Flames that shoot out of the top of the tornado and rain down on every last thing in the area, including the other Class S magicians.

  Oh, and on me too. But I ignore them.

  For the first time in the battle where they’re in my view, I take my gaze off of the Class S magicians just to watch Juan’s spell at work. Because it’s absolutely beautiful.

  His spell combines both his own flames and the last wind magic spell that Emma cast before fleeing. The spell I’m pretty sure must be a Tier X spell, considering the fact that I can even see cuts in reality around us from it. Albeit tiny ones.

  The cuts look like tiny little holes that lead into some sort of pitch black space filled with mana. But even if they’re small, they’re still cuts in reality.

  Which is only possible through Tier X spells.

  As for Juan’s spell? It looks like it’s a weaker Tier X spell.

  So it’s a strategic scale spell but not quite one that can damage reality.

  I continue watching the flames rain down from the sky while the other Class S magicians try to protect themselves from them, only for my eyes to notice some of those rifts in reality beginning to burn a little bit at the edges. Which I guess does prove that they’re damaging reality after all.

  Still. The surrounding area is going to be off limits to the public for a long time after this battle. There’s no doubt about that in my mind.

  I watch the beauty of the flames for a bit before finally crashing into the ground and then immediately running from the tornado while looking up at the flames and the Class S magicians.

  Magicians who are now fighting while protecting themselves from the raining flames.

  This battle is very different from any battle I’ve seen before.

  And I’m all for watching it all the way through to the end.
