Chapter 556 (1/2)

She changed into her usual gear in the instructor’s changing room and headed for the mock battle site. Unfortunately, her hair was the same as usual. After all, she felt uncomfortable because she wasn’t used to tying it up. So, she decided to make it in short twin-tails.

We then went to a large field, a little far from the triple towers.

It was a huge, empty field of dirt. It’s probably the size of the Tokyo Dome.

On that mock battle site, the members of the special battle class were waiting after they changed their clothes. It was similar to what Charon wore the other day at the Adventurer’s Guild. On top of her leather and metal armor, she wore a cloak and robe with the emblem of the academy on it.

The students had also formed a neat formation, which showed the high level of their training. Inez nodded in satisfaction at the sight of the students standing upright and waiting without being told to do so.

「Well then, Fran-dono will now show you some of her power!」

Apparently, it was customary for those who were assigned as instructors to first perform a kind of demonstration to show their abilities.

She was told that she could choose one of the instructors to fight with, or she could unleash her magic on this large field. But most of the new instructors choose to use martial arts and magic against the target doll.

We were told that Inez could use Earth Magic and could create dolls, but we decided to go a little flashier.

The first time is the most important, so we can’t afford to be underestimated here.

「Fran-dono, please go ahead」

「「「We’re looking forward to it!」」」

「Okay」

With the eyes of the students on her, Fran strode out onto the field. We were going to give them a good scare.

『First, let’s start with that one』

「Nn!」

The first thing we did was to make a target. Fran put her hands on the ground and activated her magic.

Immediately after she had done so there were shrieks from the students.

It couldn’t be helped though, as the ground in front of us suddenly rose, creating a 15-meter-high spire.

「Th-that’s. No matter how you look at it, that was High-level Earth Magic, right?」

「I-isn’t the Black Lightning Princess a Thunder Magic-user?」

「Or maybe, she’s a magician? Not a swordsman?」

They probably thought that Fran was a swordsman who could also use Thunder Magic. But after they saw her using Earth Magic, they realized that she was also a very skilled magician.

But this was just the beginning.

「Awakening! Brilliant Lightning Rush!」

「Th-this is the first time I’ve seen a bolt of black lightning!」

「Hiii!」

「Fo-for such a kid… To use this much magic is…!」

Many of the students paled as they felt the magic power that Fran, who was clad in black lightning, was giving off. The reason they become talkative is probably to calm themselves down.

I felt like It was already enough to show her abilities, but the real thing was just about to start.

(Master, together!)

『Ou!』

「Haaa!」

『We’re going to be as flashy as hell!』

The first shot was a Thunderbolt of Lightning Magic. Fran fired two, I fired four. And a total of six Thunderbolts struck the earth spire, creating a huge hole with a thunderous roar.

However, that was not powerful enough to collapse the spire. Since it was just for the opening I focused on the impact of sound and appearance.

「Next!」

『Ou!』

Now for the real deal… Both Fran and I used Thor’s Hammer at the same time. My two shots overlapped with Fran’s, creating a spectacular flash of light.
