Chapter 76: Finals Part 2

"Fire Spear"

"Light Spear"

"Damn it!"

Even if I try to get closer, Sophie casts a spell at me so I can't.

"First of all, think that you can't win unless you enchant two magic attributes as a major premise. 』\

"All right! 』\

That said, I don't feel like I can do it right now. I think I have to grab something in this match.

"Haa!"

While dodging Sophie's magic, I came to the point where my sword could reach her again and attacked. And this time, I was also wary of the chantless magic. With my reflexes, I should be able to block It with my other sword.

"Sorry you missed"

"huh…?"

However, when I slashed Sophie's belly, she melted into black mud.

"Here"

"What…"

When I heard the voice and turned back, Sophie appeared from my shadow. My crisis sense reacted, so I hurriedly tried to take distance, but there was a stone chain wrapped around my leg.

"Burn it all! Inferno!"

"Barrier!"

I intuitively knew that if I took this spell, I’d lose immediately, and put up a barrier of light magic that I had not yet fully acquired.

"Picon! 』\

"You acquired Light Magic Lv.1"

As the announcement echoed in my head, my view turned bright red.

.............

"Get up! 』\

"Huh!"

The barrier seemed to have been destroyed by the sheer force. I tried to check the situation, but I couldn't see anything around me because of the dust cloud.

"You can rest assured. No one noticed you lost consciousness for a moment』\

"Then that's good"

You lose the match when you lose consciousness. Thanks to the dust and smoke, I was saved.

"Heal"

I healed all the burns while hiding in the dust. I'm glad that the burns were minor thanks to the barrier.

"Do you know what that magic was? 』\

"The one where she disappeared and came out of your shadow? 』\

"Yes"

"Dark magic"

"By the way, why is my body still feeling heavy? 』\

"Gravity magic"

" …Ha..ha"

Only dry laughter came out. No wonder Ziel said I couldn't win. Sophie is much more of a cheat than me, a reincarnated person. With such a cheat, I’ll be convinced if they told me Sophie is also a reincarnator.

"OK!"

Since the smoke is disappearing, I stopped trying to escape from reality and started moving.

"Blow up, Storm"

"Chi!"

The moment I thought about how to attack, the dust and smoke hiding me was cleared out, and I was being attacked by the tornado of earlier.

"There! 』\ (Ygg)

"Yes! 』\

I was in a hurry, but it was a magic I saw once, so I was able to slash it.

"Blow up, storm" "Burn it all, Inferno"

"No way!"

And this time, she cast the two spells with multi-casting. And the two spells mixed together to form a tornado of fire and headed for me.

"Two strikes there! 』\

"Yes! 』\

I was frozen for a moment, but returned to reality with Ygg's voice, so I used both swords to slash the magic and erased it.

"Gather and rampage, golem"

"How do you have so much magic power !!"

Is it earth magic this time? She created a golem.

"Zero ... Sophia chan's magic power is not infinite, but there’s a considerable amount. 』\ (Ziel)

"What do you mean! ?? 』\

Certainly there are magic tools that store magic power, but she doesn't seem to be wearing such tools.

"I don't know what kind of magic it is, but she’s storing magic power somewhere with some kind of magic."

"Eh ..."

"The good news is, the amount of magic that can be retrieved at one time is limited, so she can’t use magic powerful enough to wipe out the arena. 』\

"Zero-kun! There! 』\

"Ah! 』\

While listening to the little good news, I slashed the golem with Ygg’s guidance.  I was wary of what spell would come after that, but the next spell didn’t come at all.

"Sophie?"

I wondered what happened, and when I looked at Sophie, she was frozen. I couldn't help but talk to her even though we were in the middle of a match.

"Distortion slow""Distortion quick"

"Whoa!"

Bash!

When Sophie muttered something, she approached at a speed that I couldn't see for a moment and attacked with her mace. I managed to dodge it, but it was dangerous.

"I told you to concentrate on me, didn’t I?"

"Ku ..."

Sophie swung the mace while speaking.

"Why won't you just focus on me?"

" Ooph"

I was dodging and blocking her attacks, but I finally got hit. Normally, I wouldn't lose in close quarters against Sophie. Am I moving slower ... or is she moving faster ... Which one? No ... maybe both?”

"You’re only fighting with me now, stop talking to spirits and just focus on me!"

"Ggh ..."

I managed to block the attack while Sophie complained to me. At first, I thought I would just let the complaint go, but then I started to wonder why she had to say so much.

"You were the one who told me to get serious in the first place! Why are you complaining about me getting help from spirits!"

"Haah!"

If I were as usual, I wouldn't say anything back. However, I don't know if It’s because I was too excited or a little frustrated because I couldn’t land a hit on Sophie, but I replied.

And despite the match, our first brother-sister quarrel in this world began.
