Kenshi Mahou 9999 Chapter 17 – Charlotte’s training (1/2)

Chapter 17: Charlotte’s training

Royal Gyrdorea Adventurer School. In the corner of that grounds, there is a blonde girl who is training hidden in people’s sight.

It is Charlotte Gazard.

She, was from that day. From the day that Laura and Emilia had fought, she was always studying alone.

Of course, she had not slacked off on her magic training before that.

But, right now, there is a goal that wouldn’t be achieved if she did not mean as if to risk her life.

She did not need the naivety that she had before.

「Thy lightning spirits. I will sacrifice my magic powers. Manifest before the contractーー」

First was the reproduction of the lightning spirits that Emilia called.

She summoned 20 of them.

But what Charlotte could summon, was only 9.

She’s nowhere near.

「Ku!……Emilia-sensei did it during the match. In this situation that I could concentrate more than enough, only 9……」

Charlotte was seriously frustrated.

But in reality, being able to summon 9 lightning spirits during freshmen is abnormal.

Even if she graduated right now and become a C-Ranker Adventurer, she could easily pa.s.s.

But to Charlotte, being a C-Ranker doesn’t matter anymore. Even Emilia who was an instructor was only a pa.s.sing point.

There is only one she’s looking out for.

Her roommate, and a very important friend.

And a rival to exceed. A wall that cannot be evaded in the path of the strongest.

The one called Laura Edmonds, just as if a hole was opened in this world, one with abnormal talents.

The day of the entrance ceremony, she who brought out an apt.i.tude number of 9999, being exposed by eyes with expectation and curiosity, and the one who is treated by rival by many.

But, after that match.

Most of their att.i.tudes had changed.

Completely ignore her, treat her as a normal student, or look with eyes of admiration.

Whatever they are, the people who saw her as a rival, was mostly extinct.

It was very natural.

Watch that match, but still have the thought of fighting.

Laura Edmonds was already not on the level of humanity. She was completely a different living being. She was not a target to challenge. That’s why, there’s no need to envy her.

But that said, those who couldn’t have that kind of clever decision, although only a few, exists.

For example, Anna Arnett of the Warrior Department, was clearly the on the “stupid side”.

Someday with Laura, she wants not as a training, but to fight her for real, anybody could figure that out by looking.

And, even Emilia who made a huge failure in front of the public, was aiming for a revenge. Her eyes were s.h.i.+ning more than before the fight. Tasting such humiliation, how did she regain herself. She could only be admired.

And Charlotte, of course, want to fight Laura.

I want to defeat her.

If not, I would not be myself anymore.

I like her very much, she is my best friend, and I want to get along with her more.

There is no lie in that.

But, at the same time with those feelings, I would think that I want to crush her.

Although it was not like I had a grudge on her.

Incorrigible. Contradicted.

Seeing a strong opponent, I couldn’t help but to challenge them.

Am I crazyーーthere are times when I think seriously of that.

But I cannot change the way I live.

「Thy lightning spirits. I will sacrifice my magic powers. Manifest before the contractーー」

I did it. I could finally summon 10 of them.
