Rei Amatsu - Hero Of The World

Chapter 4 - Reiya VS Sakura-sensei

Rei's right hand, which touched the light reflection barrier, emitted a beam of light within the barrier. The beam hit Tashio hundreds or thousands of times while reflecting irregularly on the barrier, and the demon Tashio with nowhere to escape disappeared without a trace.

(Hmm, activating magic with one-tenth output is difficult to adjust)

Rei's first fight on the simulated battlefield ended in less than a minute with Rei's victory.

When the fight was over and Rei left the stage, his consciousness returned to his original body. On the other hand, Tashio was stunned, unable to comprehend what had happened to him above the magic circle.

"..."

Sakura-sensei, Raisa, and other students who witnessed the fight between Rei and Tashio were dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, Raisa opened her mouth.

"Isn't her magic power just now, like when Sakura-sensei went all out?"

"Ah, that's for sure. Besides, the magic just now is the highest level magic of the light system. I've seen it in materials recently, but this is the first time I've seen it."

"Superlative magic?! Light magic users are rare so that alone is rare."

"But it will take a while to activate the magic."

Miki overheard the two's conversation and argued in her heart:

'No. I've been doing it since I was a kid, so I know. The time before activation is now the time to adjust magic power. This student is hiding his strength just like me.'

As Miki looked at Rei, Akiho who was next to her, spoke to her with a smile.

"Oh, Miki-chan. Could it be about him..."

"No, you're wrong! I'm just impressed because the magic is amazing." Miki seemed a little worried about Rei.

~~~~~

A few days later, on a weekday morning, first-year student Rei changed into a black t-shirt at the Magic Academy's Mizu no Kagami magic training ground. The magic practice field is located about twenty minutes on foot from the school and is a large area surrounded by rocky mountains and forests, and is a forbidden place for the general public. In the school simulation battlefield, one-on-one training was only possible in a small space, so classes were held in this large space.

"Okay! Everything is here."

Sakura-sensei, wearing a red jersey, started to speak in front of the line of students. Two students stand to the left and right of the teacher.

"Today, we have the student council president and vice president as special guests. This practice area is so big that I can't keep an eye on it myself."

"I'm the student council president, Tsukage Nakajima. Nice to meet you!"

"I'm Raisa Kisaragi."

Sakura-sensei completed the self-introduction of the two.

"Those two are the strongest students in our school. Nakajima is the strongest warrior type, and Vice-leader Raisa is the strongest magician type."

"Oh! Awesome"

"The student council president is cool!"

"The vice chairman is beautiful too!"

The first-year students were overjoyed to see the strongest student in the school.

"Let Student Council President Nakajima demonstrate Warrior-type training, and have Vice President Kisaragi demonstrate Magician-type training."

"Understood. Then, warrior-types, please assemble at my place!"

"Witch type, please come to me."

The students started moving to where Nakajima and Raisa were.

"I just want the student council president."

Saying that Wiji headed towards Nakajima.

"We're like vice presidents, Miki-chan."

"Yes. Let's go."

Miki and Akiho head to Raisa. The first-year students were divided into two groups, and Rei entered the mage-type group.

'Well, it doesn't matter which, but Raisa has been taking good care of me, so I'll head over to her.'

Nakajima started to address the students in the assembled class.

"That's right. Whether you want to train to shoot magic power into your weapons, or you want to train to strengthen your body with magic... Practicing to deploy a magic barrier to fight mages is also good."

Nakajima is passionate about teaching his juniors. Raisa also started talking to the students who had gathered.

"Since we came to this large training ground, let's practice ranged magic today. Even those who specialize in recovery magic have nothing to lose learning ranged recovery magic."

Sakura-sensei, who was watching Nakajima and Raisa, muttered.

"The student council president Nakajima and vice president Raisa are both amazing. What should I do?"

While looking at the students, Sakura-sensei thought a bit about what to do next.

"Alright! Rei Amatsu!"

Rei was a little surprised when suddenly called by his teacher.

"...What"

"You are more of a magic warrior type than a mage type. I see that you can use not only magic but also a sword."

"Well, for now"

"Alright then, I'll personally train you. I'm also a magic warrior type."

"Haa"

"Oi oi Rei, I'm one of the top ten in Japan, and I'm telling you to teach me in person. Have fun."

"..."

Reiya was confused at being told to be happy, but then he suddenly had an idea.

'If Sensei and I train together, this might be a chance for Sensei to awaken his dormant power. Let's try it for a bit.'

"Understood. In that case, please practice in an actual combat format."

"Oh, is this a real battle format? It's fine."

Hearing that it was a real fight, Raisa was shocked and gave her opinion to Sakura-sensei.

"Sakura-sensei, we don't even have a battlefield loaded here, so wouldn't it be dangerous to have a real battle format?"

"It's fine. I'm not serious about fighting. I'm taking it easy."

"...I understand. But if you think it's dangerous, I will immediately stop you."

"What happened there.?"

Nakajima who was paying attention to the situation also became interested in the fight between the two.

"Looks like they did something interesting, so let's take a look before our practice."

The two student council leaders and the entire class were watching the fight between Sakura-sensei and Rei.

"Then shall we begin?"

Sakura-sensei drew the sword "Kaminari no Yaiba" at her waist and took a stance. On the other hand, Rei faced the teacher without pulling out the sword at his waist.

"What's wrong? Why don't you draw your sword? To be honest, I want to see how strong that sword is."

"I don't use this sword against humans. This sword has dangerous abilities."

"Hmm, that's more interesting..."

Hearing this, Wiji ran towards Rei and drew his sword from its scabbard.

"Then use mine. This 'Tsukuyozakura' is a work known to those in the know."

"Thank you. Feel free to use it."

Rei took Wiji's Japanese sword "Tsukuyozakura" and pointed it at Sakura-sensei.

"Okay! Then you can come at any time. I will give you the first move."

Sakura-sensei waited with thunder at the end of the lightning.

'That's a fine sword. Alright, let's try using the technique used by the humans I saw first.'

Rei leaned forward slightly while holding Tsukiyozakura, attacked Sakura-sensei, and thrust while screaming.

"Oni-Tsuki (demon stab)."

Rei released the sword technique "Oni-Tsuki" high-speed three-stage thrust.

"Ha!"

Sakura-sensei cut all of the three-step thrusts with lightning. After being blocked from the attack, Rei backed off and prepared again.

'Sakura-sensei's thunder sword is quite strong. I thought that the sword had the power to accelerate the speed of the sword's movement. So next time, let's try a combination of magic and sword attacks.'

Rei held Tsukiyozakura with only his right hand, and at the same time concentrated purple magic in his left hand to activate the magic.

"Sword of Light - Grand Neve!"

Rei raised his left palm and used magic power to create a sword of light about 3 meters long. With his right hand, he was holding Tsukiyozakura, and with his left, he was ready to shoot the morphed blade of light into the air.

Muh, high-level magic from the optical system huh? Interesting!

Sakura-sensei held the lightning in the center and concentrated magic power on the blade to strengthen the thunder.

"All right! I'm coming!"

Saying that Sakura-sensei attacked Rei. Seeing this, Rei swung his left hand down and shot a blade of light at Sakura-sensei. Sakura-sensei unleashed a magic sword skill toward the approaching light blades.

“Lightning Slash!”

Sakura-sensei's lightning slash shattered the blade of light. Then, the light from the lightsaber spread to the surroundings.

"Oh, it's dazzling..."

At that moment, Reiya appeared from the scattered light and launched a slashing attack towards Sakura-sensei who had an opening… However, Rei stopped Tsukiyozakura in front of Sakura-sensei. Cold sweat trickled down Sakura-sensei's cheeks. At the same time, Rei heard music from his red jersey pocket.
