The wind howled, and everywhere were stones and branches swept up by the gale; even some billboards were blown into the air.
Illya, flying through the air, pushed forward against the strong wind. Although stones and branches occasionally flew towards her, the magic barrier on her body blocked them.
On her way towards the gale, Illya felt a strange sensation within her body. This wasn't the first time she had felt this way.
She hadn't felt it much before, but as time went on, this sensation grew stronger and stronger, to the point where she was almost unable to suppress it.
"Hey, ruby. I have a very strange feeling. I feel like there's something else inside me."
"Hmm? Isn't that normal? Illya-san, doesn't she have the will of honkai inside her?"
"No... it's different. This is a feeling I only have when I maintain this form. This feeling... it's like my Spirit Origin is constantly changing under this power."
This power was continuously affecting Illya's Spirit Origin, seemingly tending to change from a Magician to another class.
What exactly was this feeling? It seemed to be related to her contract with Yoshino, but what was it?
While Illya was pondering, she had already arrived near the gale and saw two black dots in the sky.
At the center of the gale, two people stood facing each other, in opposition.
The ability to fly in the sky, besides humans with a visualization device, was undoubtedly possessed by Spirits.
Moreover, this suddenly formed gale could not have been caused by so-called ace Magicians. Such a change in nature could only be caused by Spirits.
Immediately after, the two figures violently collided, and a more chaotic airflow than before spread out in all directions, creating an even stronger current.
"These two are really troublesome."
Perhaps they hadn't expected to cause trouble, completely unaware that their battle would have such an impact. As they fought, it turned into this.
"Let's go! ruby!"
"Alright! Illya-san! Naughty children should be strung up and given a good beating!"
[mystic code of Pleasure]
As one of the Church's highest-grade mystic codes, ruby was an existence with its own consciousness, though for some reason it had an extraordinary obsession with Magical Girls.
While it would support the user, it absolutely refused to cooperate with anything else, only caring about its own happiness, hence its designation as a mystic code of Pleasure.
(fuhai: Just be happy.)
"Shotgun!!"
Waving her staff, a large number of Magic Bullets were fired at the two figures in the air. Although the power of each shot was reduced, its extremely wide range made it not to be underestimated.
The two figures in the sky had not expected anyone to intervene in their battle. By the time they reacted, the Magic Bullet attack had already arrived.
"W-wahhh!!! What is this!!!"
A large number of Magic Bullets hit the two, and the pain sent them into a panic. They tried to use their agile speed to evade the Magic Bullet attack, but there were too many Magic Bullets, making it impossible to dodge in time!
"Hmph! Don't underestimate this one! These things! This one will blow them all away in one go!"
One of the girls angrily launched an attack, and the fierce gale completely scattered the Magic Bullets in front of her.
Just as the girl relaxed her guard, a cute face appeared before her, waving at her cutely.
"Nice to meet you, hello."
"Eh? Th-that, hello..."
[Bang!]
After exchanging greetings, Illya unceremoniously kicked the girl into the other girl who shared her identical appearance.
"ruby, class card!"
"Understood! Selecting the most suitable card to resolve the current situation. Alright, it's you! Old Man!"
Upon receiving the command, ruby guided Illya to where the class cards were, drawing a card marked [ASSASSIN]. Accompanied by dazzling light, a terrifying aura descended.
The girls, whose battle had been interrupted, angrily looked in Illya's direction, but the sudden terrifying aura made their delicate bodies tremble uncontrollably.
What did they see? It was a girl in simple armor, with a skull mask on one side of her head, holding a shield in her left hand and a greatsword in the other.
As if a god had descended, both the eyes on the mask and the eyes on the shield erupted with an astonishing aura.
"Who are you! Why did you ambush this one!"
"Agreed. Why did you attack Yuzuru? Please provide a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, Yuzuru will mete out punishment."
One of the girls seemed to have a chuunibyou tendency, while the other showed little emotional fluctuation.
However, the tone of the emotionless Spirit was clearly much firmer. Although she was startled by the aura emanating from Illya, she couldn't lose face in terms of presence.
Still, it was certain that their nature was still very kind. But even if their nature was kind, if they did something wrong, they still needed a good lesson!
After all, kindness is not an excuse to escape responsibility. These two had already caused a lot of trouble for others.
"Why did I attack you? Hmph! Take a good look at the destruction you've caused to the surroundings! Then think carefully about why I would stop you!"
The two, who had been huffing and puffing, exchanged bewildered glances after hearing Illya's words, then looked at other places.
The once beautiful island had been utterly ruined by the two. Some trees had even been uprooted by the hurricane, and some buildings were also damaged.
"This... isn't this normal! Since it's a duel, causing damage is only natural!"
"That's right, battles are bound to cause damage, and I've already restrained myself from causing too much damage."
Illya had initially thought that these two girls would feel guilty after seeing the destruction they had caused, or at least embarrassed. But they showed no guilt or embarrassment whatsoever.
