'What is this feeling?'
Even after the song ended, Shirone remained in her seat, unable to calm her pounding heart.
"uh? Shirone!"
Maya, who noticed it belatedly, welcomed him with a bright smile.
"come in. What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd wash up a bit. I came because I heard the music."
Shirone held up her toothbrush to get rid of the suspicion of spying.
Either way, Maya moved her butt off the piano chair and suggested a seat.
"Sit here. there are no chairs Oh, if you're busy… … ."
Since it was Shirone who was struggling to the death with the strong players in the senior class, I thought that there would be no time for leisurely chatting.
"no it's okay. I had nowhere to go anyway."
The piano chair was small and Maya had some flesh. As their arms touched each other, a sense of unfamiliarity was transmitted through their skin. Her skin was soft and a bit on the cold side.
The awkward Shirone spoke first.
"Ahaha, you sing so well, why didn't you talk? I don't know much about music, but I think I do much better than a pro."
Seeing sadness in Maya's eyes, Shirone realized her mistake. Even though he has such great skills, if he is not a professional, there is no choice but to have a story.
"Oh sorry. If something hurts… … ."
Maya smiled and shook her head. Seriously, I couldn't stand Shirone's seriousness. So she was even more upset.
'It's been like that since the beginning.'
On the presentation day of the Supernatural Psychic Research Conference, Maya first saw Shirone speaking on the roof.
prove the invisible
The situation at the time that convinced all the students was shocking to her. She was the brightest star in school.
"sing… … Shall I call you?"
"huh. I want to hear it."
When Maya put her hands on the keyboard and started singing, Shirone immediately fell into her music.
I thought it was just a sound. But she had the power to move people's hearts with her voice.
'ah… … I see.'
To sing only for the happiness of the listener, forgetting about graduation from magic school, the circumstances of the tribe, and the poverty of the family.
At this moment, he wasn't a wizard.
Maya was an artist.
After the celestial song ended, the afterword flowed. Shirone couldn't even exhale until the note disappeared soundlessly.
A moan escaped from between his trembling lips.
"Haaaaaa."
diva. The goddess was in front of me.
Shirone could not resist Maya's eyes looking at her with a passionate gaze. Fire penetrated into my heart. She seemed like she could take anything she gave.
"… … ."
The sunset was setting outside the window.
* * *
The 8th week's main skill enhancement time is back.
It was an intense competition to gain an upper hand in the ranking competition because the distribution of scores was autonomous as it evaluates the achievement of 20 items related to the major.
Students report challenges prior to the assessment. For example, if you challenge three items to level 7 and do not reach them, you will not be awarded points for that week.
Therefore, if you need even 1 point, it is better to choose an appropriate difficulty level, and on the contrary, if you need a high score, it is better to increase the difficulty level even if you risk an adventure.
Shirone was sitting side by side with her friends and watching the evaluation of other students' major skills.
The reason why the analysis's eyes are sharper than usual is that after tomorrow, the scrimmer and the high ground occupation confrontation will be held.
The Shirone team has already been decided, but the members of the Screamer team have not yet been confirmed. Therefore, it was good to analyze the majors of as many people as possible today.
The difference between the main skill enhancement evaluation and other events is that actual magic is cast instead of 2,000 times.
Various devices were equipped in each area, and the impact force test in particular was similar to the marbles in the maze seen in the Kergo ruins.
After 7 people finished the evaluation, it was Fishaw's turn. The evaluation teacher checked the evaluation paper and looked up.
"Fisho, what is the challenge?"
"I will challenge three items. Eruption, gigantism, mutation. The difficulty levels are 5, 6, and 5, respectively."
Twenty-five years old, the oldest in his senior year, Fisho.
Although he doesn't stand out in the evaluation, his Insect magic makes Shirone excited every time he sees it.
"Fisho has gone up one notch from last week. It's only been 8 weeks, but you're entering the intermediate level, right?"
"You are twenty-five. You should consider that you have polished your major for at least 5 years more than others. I'll probably pass easily this time too."
"At this point, Shirone, there is something you must know."
Nade said with a serious look.
"That guy, Fisho, is the president of the Ant Language Research Society."
"Ant language study group? Is there such a thing?"
"It's a research society that works in the shadows like us. They want to have an audience with the queen ant by analyzing the ant's pheromone language. Perhaps they are thinking of making a diplomatic agreement."
After thinking for a moment, Shirone asked.
"But why should I know that?"
"you idiot! If they make a pact with the queen ant, they'll hit the supernatural psychic research group. It's not a matter of subsuming a few ants. All the ants under the queen's control will become enemies!"
Shirone moved her lips to say something, but eventually turned her head away without saying anything.
Eruki continued.
"Insect is the most maniac category among majors. It's good to watch while we can."
"Is it similar to summoning magic?"
"no. A boss imitates a specific target so perfectly that it is close to the real thing. Of course, insects are also possible, but you can't implement hundreds of species of insects that way."
"Then how do you do the fisho?"
Eruki referred to the explanation he had heard from his father.
"The core battery of the insert series is the egg. An aggregate of undifferentiated functions that can evolve into various forms. They say that it induces spontaneous generation with the theory of 'ecosystem in the head', but they say that this is really insanely difficult. Because we have to calculate from occurrence to evolution and mutation."
"Hmm, that must be really difficult."
"So there are many scholars in the Insect field. But once you become a wizard, you get treated very well. Ficho will be in his senior year by the time he is twenty-five, but graduating now is absolutely no loss."
When Fisho signaled that he was ready, the assessment teacher presented a challenge.
"First of all, eruption. The fifth level is three hundred."
Fisho tuned the battery with the ecological theory in his head. Once the food chain and predators were established, the eggs began to differentiate into the most suitable population for survival.
"Grasshopper."
A swarm of 300 locusts flew up from Fisho's feet and flew through the clouds like dark particles.
The teacher wrote three hundred and twelve on the record sheet. It was not difficult to count insects through synesthesia.
"It is 1 point for passing the 5th stage. Next is gigantism."
Ficho closed his eyes again and concentrated.
It took approximately 5 minutes to differentiate the egg by increasing the oxygen saturation and adjusting the surrounding environment.
An ant as huge as a person was born and moved its antennae in all directions to examine the surroundings.
Both female students and male students frowned as if they were terrible. So Fisho is a loner.
"Body surface area 2.02 square meters. passing gigantic. 1 point earned Next, mutation."
This time, it took a whopping 20 minutes to build the battery. As such, the results were shocking.
A centipede with the protective coloration of a ladybug crawled on the floor. The scythe-like jaws opened, and the deadly venom shot all the way.
"One type of shape change. 1 function change. Passed."
"thank you."
It was an amazing demonstration and a shocking sight, but the students just wished they would never see it again.
That's how Fisho's main skill was strengthened, and Maya walked out in the next turn.
Nade made a horn and shouted.
"Maya, fighting!"
Maya just smiled and scratched her cheek and went into the evaluation room without showing any reaction.
"huh? Why are you like that? Is something bad happening?"
Embarrassed Nade licked his lips.
But now that I see it, Shirone's facial expression doesn't look particularly good either.
"what? What happened to you two?"
There was no way to know that it was Shirone.
After the incident in the music room, Maya deliberately distanced herself. He didn't treat her coldly, but he didn't feel as friendly as before.
said Eruki.
"Maybe we were too rude."
"What are you talking about? What did we do to Maya?"
"Even if she was insulted by the screamer, she should have made the choice. Because there are people she doesn't want to fight with."
Nade suddenly recalled the situation at the time. He was relieved when he shouted to bring Maya to fight, but thinking about it again, he clearly crossed the line.
"Uh, so what? I made a loud noise. No, shouldn't we apologize and make things happen that didn't happen?"
"Maya doesn't get mad about that. And I'm not angry about that."
Shirone said bluntly.
According to Eruki, the feeling should have already arrived when we met in the music room. But she was more affectionate than anyone else, and sang her songs with all her heart.
'But why are you avoiding it? why?'
Maya's evaluation ended quickly. All three categories of vocal volume, sound vibration, and sound remained at the second stage, and they did not pass even that.
"None of the sonic magics are below average. After that, it will be impossible to graduate this year."
Nade cried at Eruki's words.
"Shouldn't graduation be the problem, should we be worried about the entire evaluation right now? You said that you can get a high score even if you have Maya as a team member. Wasn't there some kind of strategy?"
"No, I just spit it out as it came out. You can't say good things to the screamers there, can you?"
"what? you then… … !"
"Don't make a fuss. Just because I didn't think about it doesn't mean there isn't a solution. That's it, you can think about it from now on. Anyway, maybe the reason why Maya is like that is because of her grades. Even I can see it doesn't go well with sound magic."
"Maybe it's the other way around."
Eruki looked back at Shirone.
"What have you been talking about since before? You two, what really happened?"
Shirone told the story of what happened in the music room. Maya's incredible singing ability and the thrill running down her spine.
"Hmm, popular song. Definitely a different area. Because sound magic borrows vocal music to maximize the function of the voice."
Eruki's head turned quickly. I thought that maybe it could be a major variable in the occupation of this highland.
Next in Maya's turn was Fermi. Heading to the training ground, he glanced back at Shirone and laughed.
Fermi's major is Air, and the main skill enhancement score is exactly 100 points. All items were cleared 5 levels.
Similar to the average speed of Class One, it seems that there is no chance of falling into Class Two even now.
The evaluation teacher changed the evaluation paper and asked.
"Fermi, what is the challenge?"
Fermi said with a smile.
"I will master it."
The evaluation teacher stopped trying to record and raised his head. The students also started whispering.
Last year, he mastered all of his special skill enhancements, so it wasn't unusual, but the timing was too early.
Considering that they usually started to pick up speed after the 12th week, it was a whopping 4 weeks fast pace.
'It must have been influenced by Shirone's existence.'
After defeating Fermi in the survival test and even declaring war, it was a strategy to use this opportunity to dampen spirits again.
"good night. Let's measure from the first press item."
Fermi held out his index and middle fingers and pointed at the impact-measuring device.
The air was compressed at the fingertips, and the air gun fired with a bang.
The eyes of the students turned to the billboard beyond the glass marbles.
1,123 press.
It was a figure that easily passed the master difficulty of 1,000 presses.

"Isn't that great, Fermi? How much air did you compress for 1,000 presses?"
"I know. Even if it hits the armor, the impact will be considerable."
Shirone was not impressed. In the old days, he would have at least clapped, but it didn't compare to Gaold's air gun.
Fermi conquered the master difficulty step by step. Finally, applause erupted when the 10th stage of the fly aerobatics, a movement item, was completed.
It was an acrobatics that was impossible without mastering the basics of the two types of press and blow.
"Fermi, you are the all master. That's 100 points."
It was the moment Fermi regained the top spot in the senior class again.
"Surely great."
It was rare for Eruki to acknowledge someone.
This time, even Shirone had no excuse to refute. It was none other than the All Master.
"I know. I think the fundamentals are very solid."
"No, that's not what I mean. Even last year, Fermi was an all-master. It's just that the majors are different."
Shirone's head turned quickly.
"You said your major was different?"
"okay. Registered Earth Magic. The year before last, I mastered all with fire magic."
Is it really possible? It's not enough to change your major every year, so it's not enough to do all masters.
A high-ranking wizard would be able to use a student-level difficulty, but it was a nonsensical comparison. Fermi was a student.
Shirone stared blankly at Fermi. As he pretended to slit his throat with his thumb, his emotions from his survival assessment came back up.
Fermi made the all-master and became the undisputed number one.
It was such an event that even the students who had weighed Shirone and Fermi had to tip their weights.
'Even if you regret it, it's too late, kid. I won't let you graduate until you lick my shoes.'
Seeing the anger in Fermi's eyes, Shirone stood up. Then he told his friends and headed to the training ground.
"Eruki, Nade. I will go up first."
Nade and Eruki looked back at each other. As they train together every day, they know that Shirone is not yet ready to challenge for All Masters.
"What are you going to do? It's a fight that won't gain anything from a head-to-head confrontation. It will only be a power exposure. No, if you fail at all, you will be completely trampled on."
"What are you thinking? Let's trust Shirone for now."
The eyes of the students were focused on Shirone.
Amy and Arin turned their heads while talking, and Canis' eyes lit up.
Dante, who was sitting on the ground, rested his chin and watched.
'Fermi did an all-master. How are you going to respond?'
The evaluation teacher held up the evaluation sheet and asked.
"Shirone, your specialty is God Particles. What is the challenge?"
"7 levels of power, 8 levels of projectile speed, 7 levels of projectile speed, 7 levels of defense… … ."
Shirone, like Fermi, lined up the items.
Until the 7th week, Syrone's main skill evaluation level averaged 3.6 levels. Therefore, the stage he is currently reciting was more than twice that.
"Finally, movement control, 10 steps."
The teacher's eyes lit up.
Level 10 is Master Difficulty. Furthermore, the standard value of the particle movement control item of God was much higher than that of the photon series.
It seemed clear that Fermi's All Masters had influenced Shirone's judgment.
However, it was also true that there were insufficient parts to compare with Fermi to this extent.
In fact, only seven items were selected by Shirone, and the difficulty level was between 7 and 8, excluding the movement.
"what? If you're going to do it, don't you say it, right?"
"You are cheating. To some extent, other students will also have a conflict between Fermi and Shirone."
"Then it is a great misunderstanding. That level couldn't hurt Fermi even as much as a fingernail. A typical mistake of the first year. After all, what can a freshman do?"
Class Two was the majority opinion.
Dante suspends judgment and thinks. He blinked quickly and the corners of his mouth went up as he counted.
'Hmm, that way… … .'
Meanwhile, Fermi and his party, watching from the hill, were already convinced of victory.
"Keukke, is this the final push? Doesn't it look cute like this? Isn't that right, Fermi?"
The Electric Monster Lichen turned to Fermi.
Fermi was laughing. But Lichen, who had been with him for years, knew that the smile he showed when he was most pissed off.
'That damn bastard… … .'
Shirone's first evaluation was a single attribute power item.
Although it does not exist in the photon series, it was newly established based on the fact that God's particles are based on mass.
When I closed my eyes and focused my mind, a sphere of light was born and compressed at a terrifying speed as if pushing space.
As the eyes of the students watching the suppressed vibrations turned golden, the photon cannon fired with a roar.
The flash of light embedded in the glass beads spread out as fragments of light, and the numbers on the instrument panel rotated to calculate power.
2,242 crashes.
It was a figure that far exceeded 1,800 crashes, which is the 7th level of single attribute power.
After checking the score, Shirone looked back at Fermi, and the students realized something and began to hum.
When converted to units of energy, 2,242 crashes are approximately 8,200 presses.
In other words, the destructive force that comes out when the atmosphere is compressed with 8,200 presses is 2,240 crashes.
This is 7.3 times higher than Fermi, who recorded 1,123 presses, revealing the power of God's particles.
Shirone's evaluation continued.
In the projectile velocity category, the speed of the photon cannon was 100 meters per second, which was also a result that far exceeded Fermi's projectile velocity category.
Puff pup pup pup pup!
Shirone fired a photon cannon at a target in front of her at blazing speed.
Even in broad daylight, the surroundings were sparkling, and the eyes of the students were filled with afterimages of golden lines.
"165 rounds per minute. It is a 7th level pass."
The standard for Fermi's rate of fire rate master is 160 rounds per minute.
Having already overpowered Fermi in three items, the students now understood Shirone's intentions.
"I see. Shirone that guy… … ."
The seven items that Shirone presented as challenges were common to the Air series as well.
"It's surpassing all of Fermi's criteria."
When the students turned to Fermi, he was looking at Shirone with his palms covering his face.
It was a fact that only his colleagues knew that his eyes were burning with murderous intent.
Shirone did not do all masters.
But even so, he scores higher in the same category than Fermi, who did All Masters.
Students felt the same way. Air-type magic can be overpowered at the 7th level of God Particles.
"That bastard child… … ."
Fermi's colleagues were startled. It was the first time his feelings had been shown so blatantly.
Feeling the eyes of countless students, Fermi finally lowered his hand and smiled.
'Oops, businessman smiles. The businessman smiles.'
Entrepreneurs need to be relaxed. Even if a debt is strangling you and you are on the verge of getting a knife stabbed in your back, as long as you have confidence, a way out is a business.
Of course, the crisis is real. In fact, the students were cutting Fermi's earnings expectations in half and giving them to Shirone.
The Air series is at the 7th level of God Particles. The strategy to increase stock prices by comparing numbers with Fermi worked well.
"As expected, Shirone hyung is amazing."
Eider approached behind Eruki. His major was also Air, so it was only natural that he felt bitter.
"It is different from talent. How do you beat someone like that?"
"Talent?"
"It is. The advantage of the photon system is that it has no mass. But Shirone hyung can even give it mass. That no one can beat."
Shirone's magical talent was acknowledged by Eruki as well. But I didn't think I'd come this far just for that reason.
Talent is just a tool. The speed of a person digging with bare hands and a person digging with a shovel is inevitably different.
If the land is magic, the shovel is a talent.
However, no matter how much he holds the shovel, he never digs the ground unless he uses his arms, waist, and legs.
That's why even a moment of realization is just an explosion of the accumulation of daily training.
Shirone has been working hard day by day and breaking through the limits every day. Even if it's not right now, in the end, it gathers and achieves the result.
All success in the world begins with knowing that the future will surely come.
"I don't think anyone is born with bare hands."
"yes?"
Eider looked down at Eruki.
"Some are born with a shovel, some with a hammer, and some with a pen. He who has a shovel digs faster, but he cannot write well with it. Talent is not something given, it is something you discover and develop yourself. The Air series has something that only it can do. If you can't find it, don't take it easy for someone else to find it. Talent is also hard work."
Eider chewed those words in his mind. Although he said it because he was displeased with the disparagement of Shirone's efforts, it was a piece of advice worth more than gold to him.
"yes. Thank you, Eruki."
Eruki raised his eyebrows and then lowered them. The way he wasn't displeased and was rather grateful was really like the youngest. He was the reason Eider had no enemies.
"Finally, movement control. Master difficulty. The response time is less than 0.8 seconds."
Shirone took a deep breath and cleared his mind. He went all out on the six items, and he felt dizzy for a moment, but it was nothing compared to his practical experience so far.
The evaluation teacher activated the red line certified evaluation magic, navigation.
A small sphere was born, inside which the arrow pointing in the direction was spinning like a compass that had lost its polarity.
Movement control is an item that accurately implements the movement suggested by the navigation system.
The shape, length and color of the arrow indicate direction, distance and speed, respectively, and the wizard must do it within the reaction time.
God's particle master difficulty is 0.8 seconds reaction speed. It was 0.2 seconds shorter than the photon series master difficulty of 1 second.
At the nerve level, 0.2 seconds is an enormous gap.
Nevertheless, the reason why the association set the standard is that it believes that rapid acceleration and sudden stop using mass will be possible.
"Reaction time of 0.8 seconds?"
The students looked puzzled.
Of course, the photon-type magicians differentiate time and build a series of processes in advance. Patrol, rainbow drop, etc. are applications from there.
However, movement control was not an item that moved as it came out of my head.
The navigation will suggest a completely different direction, speed, and distance than expected, and the wizard must react immediately.
In such a situation, it felt too cruel to have a reaction speed of 0.8 seconds.
'No, the association's judgment is correct.'
Shirone recalled Collie's teachings. After all, it is a standard because someone is doing it.
I heard the other day that the response speed of Ethella's movement control was 0.1 second, which is called superhuman.
When you reach such a state, you can cover an area densely covered with trees simply by teleporting. Also, I heard that you can evade an attack just by weaving the upper body by feeding back the instantaneous movement in place.
Of course, Shirone, a student, cannot be comforted by the fact that a famous monk on the continent can do it.
However, the idea of the association was well understood.
Do not judge God Particles by the standard of the photon series.
It was an ability unique to Shirone that no one else had.
'I conquer with my skill.'
A light rose from Shirone's body like fire. The flames, which gradually grew in size, became a pair of giant wings and burned.
"I-what is that?"
The students widened their eyes. It was a magic I had never seen or heard of before.

"Photonic shaping. More advanced from fractal."
Canis muttered with a nervous expression.
Making wings with light is proof that plastic surgery has transcended the realm of photons.
Shirone was already aware of incarnation.
"How far do you know?"
Harvest spoke through the mental channel.
-If it's a stage where you can use a certain magic, you should consider it ahead of us. It seems that Immortal Function wasn't the only reason he passed the cowardice.
If so, the sense of incongruity Kannis felt at the time could also be explained.
"It's clearer."
Canis turned to Arin.
"What are you talking about?"
"Shirone's wings have become clearer."
Canis tilted her head. It was not common for her to refer to the shape of a particular object.
'Come to think of it… … .'
On Galliant Island, Arin asked if Shirone was blonde.
At the time, I didn't think much of it, but after hearing what Harvest said, I couldn't just ignore it.
"What the hell does Shirone look like? Can you explain?"
"Shirone."
"huh?"
"Shirone is Shirone. I vaguely guessed from before, but now I know, that I was watching the incarnation of Shirone."
Arin cannot analyze the shape reflected in menarche. However, the form of incarnation born from the number of the law never changes.
"It is not incarnation. Shirone is the incarnation."
That was the conclusion of Arin's mental transcendence.
"Hmm."
Canis looked back at Shirone with a serious expression.
There must be a difference between incarnation and incarnation. I couldn't imagine what the result would be when they were attached head-on.
"What do you mean your wings are sharper?"
"It was there at the time, the wings on Shirone's back."
"what?"
When we met at Galliant, Shirone didn't have the skill of wide wings. But how did he see the wings?
"Is it like a feeling?"
Arin shook his head.
"There is no feeling in the incarnation. just an incarnation But it wasn't as clear as it is now. It was placed in a transparent form as if created by the wind. But now it is colored golden."
Arin is not a foresight. Therefore, it was highly likely that the wing of Shirone she saw was possessed by an incarnation.
'The incarnation has wings?'
If Shirone further strengthens the power of incarnation in the future, will wings really sprout from his shoulders?
There is probably no one in the world who can give an answer to that.
Shirone bent her knees as she watched the navigation magic fixed in front of her eyes.
'one two… … .'
The arrow finally pointed to the sky.
'three!'
At the same time, the wings of the wings flapped and the body soared.
The acceleration created by pushing the mass down at the speed of sub-light was tremendous, and everyone raised their heads in surprise.
It was the realm of intuition to check the direction, distance, and speed within 0.8 seconds and cast teleportation.
The trickiest thing is that the navigation's suggestions change during teleportation.
In the end, it is possible to judge only when the turn is over, and a loss of about 0.2 seconds occurs here.
That 0.2 second should have been the time that could be shortened with the God Particles proposed by the Association.
'This is the beginning!'
Gwangik met that standard exactly.
pop!
During the teleportation, the wings flapped and the direction of the flash was bent vertically.
pop! pop! pop!
As explosive sounds exploded one after another, Shirone carried out the navigation's suggestion without error.
"Aww!"
The pressure of the gravitational acceleration due to the sudden change of direction was entirely up to Shirone.
Every time the direction was bent, the blood in the veins was concentrated to one side and the muscles were torn.
Armand's diamond armament would be able to remove the risk factor on its own, but at present he was naked.
The stronger the pressure, the more intense the flapping of the wings. Even if the body is broken, it cannot be stopped.
It was a flight to become a wizard.
"Wow, is that for real?"
The difference of 0.2 seconds was passed on to students on the ground. It was a completely different trajectory from normal teleportation.
Knowing how hard it can be to turn around while casting, they felt terrified.
"Isn't that what breaks from the sky? It must have been under several times the gravity."
"But if you can hold on, it's on a different level from teleportation."
It is different from the sense of rhythm of the movement.
As long as there was no off-beat, there was a high chance that the victim would accept it as a completely new tactic.
Numerically, it was a huge gain.
Assuming a battle of 100 turns, it meant that he could take the desired coordinates 20 seconds faster than the opponent.
Also, that was the true meaning of the 0.2 seconds currently practiced by Shirone.
'When will it end?'
The navigation system was persistently harassing Shirone as if it had the ability to think. The reverse direction is the basic, and vertical rise has been requested in succession from vertical fall.
How far have you flown?
The site of the magic school looked small enough to fit inside the circle made by fingers.
No series of movement evaluations require such a vast space. What are the alternative associations?
'No, this is right!'
Shirone believed blindly. God's particles are his own, but there will be no errors in the standards calculated by his pros.
Finally, the arrow pointed towards the magic school.
The speed suggested by the navigation is more than 300 kilometers per hour on average. The distance was 5.4 km.
'Go in in 65 seconds?'
Distance that can be reached by linking teleportation 540 times. The problem is that it cannot receive the force of acceleration because the inertia is initialized.
It wasn't a photon series from the beginning. What the association requested was the mechanics of mass, that is, a movement containing acceleration.
"Whoa!"
Shirone cut off the start with a teleportation, and from there swung the light wing at full speed. Every time the wings struck the air, the sound of a gong flew toward the school.
180 kilometers per hour. 220 kilometers per hour. 280 kilometers per hour.
At the moment of covering a distance of 2.4 kilometers, it finally exceeded 300 kilometers per hour.
However, since it suffered losses in the early stages of acceleration, it had to fly faster to meet the average speed.
"Mmmmm!"
The situation where the field of view was so narrow that only the navigation was visible was no different from the feeling of falling off a cliff.
Shirone only focused on speed. There's no way a navigation system would drive a student into a rock wall.
340 kilometers per hour.
The area of the light wing was doubled. The power equivalent to a photon cannon fluttered, and the acceleration soared.
440 kilometers per hour.
I heard the sound of fire burning in my eardrums. Magic school was approaching at breakneck speed.
'wait for a sec… … '
A thought came to my mind at that moment.
Who guarantees that navigation won't send you into a rock wall?
That is just the vague expectation psychology of a person driven into a dead end, not a rational judgment.
The only reliable information is that the navigation simply points to the school's coordinates.
'I'm really going crazy!'
Shirone pulled the light wing to her body.
Acceleration is already attached as it should. However, if you lose speed, you will be eliminated. The only safety device to save life was air resistance.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Shirone passed through the body of air, feeling a violent vibration. He knew for the first time that air was such a hard substance.
The students who found Shirone jumped up.
"damage! Falling here is the end!"
but where can i go? Since the exact arrival point could not be predicted, only the upper body swayed left and right.
The navigation system brought out the last offer only when it arrived at the evaluation site. dot. It meant that it would be good for the gods to stop here.
"Huh!"
Shirone widened her eyes and swung her wide wings forward.
Whoa!
There was a sound that seemed to tear the eardrums. The dust from the training ground was pushed out, spreading a haze in front.
The students turned their heads and frowned as they listened to the deafening tinnitus.
But soon, with a fearful expression, he shifted his gaze to the spectacle of dust.
Imagining Shirone's corpse turned to blood, it would have been better if the dust hadn't cleared.
"Shirone?"
Maya moved on with a pale face. But her body stiffened and she could not move forward.
"Shirone! Shirone!"
Amy and her friends ran past her and into the evaluation area.
flutter!
A slow, loud sound blew dust in all directions. Nade, who ate the soil, spit and spit, then looked ahead.
The Shirone floating 5 meters in the air was slowly flapping its wings as it descended to the ground.
"Shirone, are you okay?"
Shirone responded with a smile and turned her gaze to Maya. Her exhilarating ecstasy filled her as she slumped down with her relieved look on her face.
It was clearly an antinomic feeling.
"I'm fine. Let's finish the evaluation first."
When the light wing was folded and extinguished, the golden fragments spread brilliantly for an instant, then disappeared.
The assessment teacher started recording.
"Shirone, you have passed the Movement Control Master difficulty. With this, today's score is 30 points."
It fell short of Fermi's 100 points, but the heads of everyone in the senior class were bound to become complicated again.
All Masters Fermi. Even though he is not an all-master, Shirone has surpassed Fermi's capabilities.
Still, the confrontation between the two was close to ice.
'This is a more difficult problem. Isn't this really going to break Fermi?'
With the exception of Fermi and the others, it was only natural that there would be conflict as they were the ones who risked life and death in this graduation exam.
Electric Monster Lichen said with cold eyes.
"This is the first time I've seen such a tough guy. Fermi, slowly… … !"
Lichen's face froze as she turned her head.
Fermi's pupils were not normal. The right pupil was rolled up and the left pupil was pushed to the side.
It was the true monster hidden behind the mask of a businessman.
'Damn it, the only thing we can do is to commit suicide together.'
regular eaters. No matter how cool-headed he may be, the inside of him is a twisted monster.
It's unlikely, but if Fermi starts to move emotionally, he'll see a huge loss.
'How much do you earn per month? … .'
I thought it might be better to just send Shirone.
"Hey, Fermi. you… … ."
"Call an emergency meeting. All executives gather around the golden ring."
Fermi gave a brief instruction and walked away.
As if seeing a ghost whose features had disappeared, Lichen couldn't remember Fermi's face a moment ago.

The evaluation of the occupation of the high ground is approaching in two days.
Students would gather secretly for strategy meetings, and even those who hadn't decided on a team would have to make a decision by now.
As befits a mock evaluation of the graduation exam, everything from team composition to competition was autonomous.
You can point to the team you want, and if you are pointed out multiple times or not, it is decided to draw a marble.
Until now, the only team with all members revealed was the Shirone team.
On the other hand, the screamer team was still shrouded in mystery. At least, that was the case for the Shirone team.
'Are you going to be in the music room today?'
Shirone entered the graduating class building. At the request of Eruki, he was the one who went to find Maya earlier than the scheduled time for the strategy meeting.
As expected, the sound of singing came from the music room, and the feelings of the day when the sunset was setting came to mind and my heart started to beat.
As I slowly opened the door and entered, Maya turned her head with a bright smile.
"Oh, Shirone! What are you doing here? We were supposed to meet later."
Shirone felt like he didn't even know. Even though she felt a sense of distance, she was more friendly than anyone else at times like this.
"Eruki asked if I could do it a little faster. He said he remembered the custom strategy of the screamer team."
"Oh, I see. Where would you like to see it?"
After closing the piano, Maya stood up and walked past Shirone to the door. She smelled like milk from her, like her child.
