Chapter 44: Muir’s Test Complete!

Two days had past The end of the last day left before the ti this time, a chance to catch Rarashi+k had not yet presented itself to Muir

Due to the fatigue caused by her constant attempts, Muir was barely able to stand Her condition was in tatters Throughout the two days, she had wasted a considerable a consciousness several times

As expected, without eating, drinking, or resting, continuing constant battle for three days was ihout the spar (although they were fairly short) However, the benefits of having those breaks had yet to present themselves

Even during those three days, the smile on Rarashi+k’s face failed to disappear

“Nn~, this is looking bad, huh” (Rarashi+k)

Scratching her head, Rarashi+k gazed at Muir as lying stretched out on the ground, exhausted It would not be strange for Muir, who had been relentlessly continuing her assault for the last few day, to be devoid of energy

“It’s good to see that you’re stubborn but, if you’re only at this level then you lack the power to become my disciple” (Rarashi+k)

“Uu…” (Muir)

Muir desperately put all the strength she had into pushi+ng herself up fro at the spectacle any longer Seeing his aversion, Hiiro opened his mouth

“That’s surprising I expected you to have told them to stop by now, but?” (Hiiro)

“As if I would stop theirl…to have such a desperate look on her face, there’s no parent in the world that would stop them now” (Arnold)

“Fun” (Hiiro)

“All I’, is that I believe that Muir can win” (Arnold)

Arnold held up both hands as if he were praying Hiiro presu Arnold’s personality, he would have stopped the spar However, what Hiiro failed to realize, was that Arnold was always thinking about as best for Muir

As it was by her oill that Muir ainst Rarashi+k, Arnold had to accept it If Arnold stopped the Muir’s will If he were to do such a thing, he would be disqualified fro her parent

(Well, those two can think whatever they want Regardless, things will undeniably get harsh from here on)

Throughout this two day period, there was barely any progress Even if Muir’s nificant when compared to Rarashi+k

Whether Muir passed or failed this trial, Hiiro didn’t give a damn This was simply because Hiiro was co the tattered body of a girl as putting out earnest effort, Hiiro thought that it was probably naturally to hold the other side in contempt

Such a girl’s opponent was e in the palood feeling Hiiro couldn’t help but feel that he wanted to erase Rarashi+k’s smirk with bewilderment

Which is why Hiiro decided to open his mouth

“Oi, Chibi” (Hiiro)

Everyone started at Hiiro as the source of the sudden noise Even Muir, as battered and fatigued, reacted to Hiiro’s voice

“If you want to beco so meticulous” (Hiiro)

“……?” (Muir)

“Reue, just do what you felt at that time” (Hiiro)

“A-at that time…?” (Muir)

Hiiro folded his arn whichleft to say

“Hiiro…you…” (Arnold)

Arnold eyes widened as he stared at Hiiro It was unbelievable that that Hiiro had given someone advice For better or for worse, Hiiro only cared about hiave advice to Muir Somehow, Arnold felt happiness spread somewhere inside of him

“That’s right, Muir! Even if you have no faith in your own strength, place your faith in the th!” (Arnold)

“O-Ojisan…” (Muir)

“Listen up! You’ll definitely get stronger! I guarantee it!” (Arnold)

Arnold’s words see this, Muir felt as if Hiiro’s words had wrapped around her entire body

“Gee~z, they’re a noisy bunch If you think those words will er, then…” (Rarashi+k)

Suddenly, Rarashi+k’s long rabbit ears tensed She looked at the Muir as staggering to her feet

“Hiiro-san, Oji-san…thank you” (Muir)

A strong light dwelled within Muir’s once uncertain eyes

“…fu~n, I see…” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k wore a ful smile Whether her eyes were filled with expectation or ale was uncertain

Muir closed her eyes and took a deep breath

(Right now, I’th I don’t know if I can becoer However, Oji-san believes in me Such a person has placed their faith in me!)

She clenched her hands tightly

(I won’t hesitate any more! I just need to remember what happened in that moment!)

Muir recalled the moment when she was captured by the clay-viper, when she had awakened to her power It was fuzzy, however, at that tihts of wanting to obtain power had definitely passed through her mind

“That’s right! I’ll be able to do so by myself!” (Muir)

In that instant…

pachi pachi pachi pachi pachi pachi pachiiiiiiiii (E: Crackling sounds Think static electricity discharging)

A vaguely faht had been achieved for the second ti birth to a tree The sparks ferociously scattered in all directions, as if they were beasts hunting for prey

“Wha-?!” (Rarashi+k)

As expected, this outcome was outside of even Rarashi+k’s expectations Her eyes widen as her pupil seehtly convulse in bewilderment

However, Rarashi+k wasn’t the only target Anything other than Muir had been deter to lash out at

“W-whoa-!” (Arnold)

Arnold desperately dodged A bolt of lightning scorched the ground black It was a chilling sight If one was directly shocked, it was possible that they wouldn’t walk away unscathed

Following that, another bolt of lightning extended itself towards Hiiro

“Unbelievable I know I said not to think toobystanders involved is a bit much, you know” (Hiiro)

Although Hiiro tried to evade to the side, another bolt had already made its way there as it flashed towards hie had practically surrounded hi

Clicking his tongue, Hiiro was forced to write the word “Protect” in order to defend hiic wrapped around Hiiro’s body, deflecting the inco

“That’s…-tch!?” (Rarashi+k)

Taking in the situation, Rarashi+k narrowed her eyes However, lightning was steadily approaching her

“This isn’t the ti away” (Rarashi+k)

Lightly clicking her tongue, Rarashi+k avoided the lightning with nimble movements As she evaded, she contemplated

(So it’s about this level of power that was released I’ that the little miss has lost conscious…wha-!?)

The torrent of energy was clearly in a rampant, uncontrolled state Muir, who had produced such discharge, would seem to have been deprived of her consciousness At least, that hat Rarashi+k had though And yet, Muir was staring directly at her

Of course, Muir’s face contorted in pain Yet, the light in her eyes had not faded, plainly capturing the ie of Rarashi+k within them

(No way! She’s still conscious!?)
