I Was Made the Disciple of a Yandere Girl, But Chapter 5

Comma- a minute interval

A few days after my first battle, I finally returned to my original condition

"It's great that you finally cheered up. I was worried."

Right now, Arisa and I are in the underground training ground. I finally got permission to train my magic again.

Or rather, there was a training ground in the house…?

According to Arisa, she wanted a place where she could unreservedly test out new images for her magic.

That reminds me, there was a laboratory here too.

"I've caused you some trouble. Thank you, Arisa."

When I said that, Arisa got a little embarra.s.sed.

"……That much is fine. Don't worry about it."

Arisa is slightly blus.h.i.+ng and floating a smile.

"……Utu."

I involuntarily felt like petting this girl's head, and carelessly stuck out my head.

Arisa is silent.

She's *jii* looking over here.

I quietly shake my head side to side.

……Gradually, Arisa's face started looking downhearted.

I decided to stroke Arisa's smooth, silver hair.

Arisa pleasantly narrows her eyes, as do I.

The sensation of Arisa's hair is too good, and I can't stop.

In this quiet s.p.a.ce where we were both silent, only the *sawasawa* sound echoed throughout the training grounds.

……After a while,

"——St,stop now!

My hair is getting crumpled now, so stop!"

Arisa says that while *guwatu!* striking my hand, so I reluctantly remove my hand.

"Should I do it some more?"

"E, ah……"

"……Of course, that was just a joke. Now, let's train."

……That day's training was merciless.

And since about a week ago, the contents of my training had practically become a practice battle with Arisa.

We face each other at the training ground.

Today Arisa was wearing a white long-sleeved s.h.i.+rt, and long navy blue pants.

"This time too, you have to make the opponent surrender or render then unable to battle to win. Let's go, Ed."

Arisa makes an elastic smile. She's full of motivation.

"……Ah, I understand."

I answer with a groggy face.

(This is already the 10th battle today……let me rest already……)

My mind and body are already in tatters from the intense training every day.

I want a break.

"……Fine, we'll finish today with this okay! Do your best."

Whether or not she was able to let that pa.s.s unnoticed, Arisa said that.

(Ah……finally, it'll end……!)

When I thought that, I was strangely filled with energy, and I was able to focus on the 'enemy' in front of me.

[Start!] (TLN: Had these 『 』 brackets around it, so I used [ ]. Probably going to use these from now on.)

The magic tool of the training ground informs us of the beginning of the match.

——It's begun.

Arisa freezes the area around her feet, and as if skating, vigorously slid across it, heading for me.

I take some distance from Arisa, and swiftly thrust the wooden blocks which were my subst.i.tute for knives using the magic power from my hands to the move them to end of my range——in other words, I accelerate them.

The wooden blocks vigorously, explosively increases their momentum.

Arisa defends herself from all of them with a wall of ice.

The pieces of wood are fairly large, about 15 cm long each.

Although they collided at a speed that is hard to see with your eyes, this much won't stop Arisa.'s power.

——That's something I learned by training with her everyday.

Anyways, I run around the training ground.

While checking each other, as if to draw a circle, we both took distance from each other.

The range that their magic power can reach.

To a magician, this is basically their attack range.

The attack range was something we both decided in advance..

It seems to be a handicap for me.

I think while measuring my distance with Arisa.

Arisa's magic is one that can kill her opponent in a flash. It could also burn them. It's not easy to protect against.——If I stop moving, she could do that in a moment.

However, my magic is to move things, and attack things with them.

As you can see it, it's simple to guard against.

Like this, if we attack at the same time, I won't be able to win against Arisa.

However, what Arisa doesn't have that I do are projectile weapons. The advantage of my magic is that it can reach even beyond the range of my magic power, and that I can still use it after attacking.

"——Take this!"

I next aimed the wooden blocks at Arisa's head, attacked extensively.

Their numbers are 10.

If they're within the range of my magic power, I can use my magic to change their directions.

Each piece of wood precisely aims at Arisa's head, and fly.

With these numbers, whatever movement Arisa does before they arrive, she won't be able to avoid all of them.

She'll have no choice but to defend.

Just like before, Arisa builds a wall of ice.

Born there were ice walls that blocked Arisa's vision.

……Because there are many impurities in the air, the ice is cloudy, and you can't see the other side.

"——Fu!"

From training, Arisa knows that this will be fatal for her, and she instantly erased the walls.

——However, a gap is a gap.

I agilely go to the right, and go round and cut in during that fraction of a second.

The important things for the activation of magic are magic power, an image, and [sight].

If you can't see the subject of your magic, it's difficult to use it accurately.

Because the magic's target can't be established, it becomes difficult to make an accurate image.

The target of Arisa's ice walls is the air.

The already ambiguous and difficult image of freezing the air becomes even more difficult when you can't see it.

That's why, I tried to move towards Arisa's blind spot.

Naturally, Arisa antic.i.p.ated that I'd go for her blind spot, and confirmed that I was moving as she thought I would.

At that moment, I was throwing an additional piece of wood.

It was again blocked by Arisa's wall of ice.

——This is over, Arisa.

Without killing my momentum, this time I approach Arisa from straight ahead.

——The time other than me feels to have stopped. What I'm conscious of are the wooden piece, and the ice wall only.

Arisa's ice wall appears to stop my wooden piece.

Its timing was perfect.

Ice walls were formed on the moment of impact, and they disappeared in another moment.

The distance between Arisa and I shortens.

——Along with it, the area where the ice wall will appear as well.

Arisa is surprised by me approaching from the front.

"——From the front? This is my win Ed!"

(——No, I'm going to win, Arisa.)

While approaching Arisa, I threw another piece of wood.

——This is the end.

Arisa will put out an ice wall, and try to guard.

I tell that to myself.

——That's Arisa's ice wall? No it isn't.

It's just a wall of ice. As it's a substance, even I can manipulate it!

An ice wall like that, I'll blow it away! A wall like that won't be able to defend against my attacks!

And at the moment when my weapon collides with the ice wall——the distance between Arisa and I is the same as a certain distance.

The range my magic can reach——in other words, the distance at which I can use my magic.

"——Tu!?"

At that time, I'll activate a magic to moved Arisa's ice walls to the side.

——I'll get rid of this obstacle.

It can't defend against my attacks.

Within the range of my magic, that is an absolute rule.

That's because I'm the ruler of this s.p.a.ce.

"——Natu!"

The moment the wooden piece is about to hit the ice wall, I blow the wall sideways with my magic.

If Arisa noticed that quickly——there's still only a short distance between her and the wooden piece.

Then, the wooden piece that had been accelerated until then, reaches a comma of 1 second.

——Gotu!

My attack hit Arisa's forehead.

"——Tu!? I lost again!?"

Arisa raises a voice filled with regret.

The ice wall that was risen for defense was removed by my magic, and in the next moment, the wooden piece had reached Arisa.

The few seconds of that comma——Arisa's image didn't make it.
