4-18: Kamunagi (3/3)

With this I still have 27% left Good thing I was able to keep the consumption down.

He used his Magic Raiment Battle Law only when absolutely needed, so he was able to keep the mana consumption down.

But even then, the most hes ever filled his mana pool was up to 40%. Situations just kept popping up where he had to use it.

Whats more there was still the students of 2 C and 2 D, if he had to deal with those too, it was doubtful hed still have 20% left afterwards.

He needed to think of a method, but the girl had already run up to him with ragged breath.

Is Ryou alright!?

He just fainted. I didnt cut him directly.

He just used his spiritual power on the katana and bashed Shinguuji with it. There werent any damages on the exoskeleton itself.

If he actually damaged it, it would make the cover up afterwards more difficult, and the mana consumption would be too much to justify as well.

The katana also wasnt worth it, given that it was still stubbornly rejecting Shinichi and whittling away at his spiritual power.

Ive already dealt with the cause of his berserked state, so there wont be any problems anymore. He wasnt conscious like you, though, so he wont remember anything.

What? After doing all this, youre just going to leave Ugh.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Hey!?

The girl was about to get angry again, but her body suddenly shook violently.

Shinichi supported the girl, but her expression was twisted in pain.

Ah, gu, what is this, this is the first time that something like this, ugh!

Her face paled even more than before, her lips became white, and her body wouldnt stop shaking.

He had thought it was merely because she used too much spiritual power and because of her fear of death, but it seems that wasnt the case.

He felt like there was a more direct reason behind her situation, but he didnt have the answer.

Just what could have caused this Tch, will you stop that! Your master is like this, so shut up for a moment, will you Wait, Kamunagi?

Suddenly, a thought he couldnt quite finger appeared at the tip of his head.

As he thought of the katana as a possible culprit, the name drew his attention.

He has been thinking of the name as though it was written in katakana all this time, but it was a Japanese katana, so it only made sense that its name would be expressed in kanji.

His body was already that sort of thing.

Just being near people who could see too much was enough to affect them negatively.

Even if there werent many of those so-called real thing back there, his carelessness owing to him being a member of that church ended up causing a problem here.

The moment he realized what her power was, he shouldve been more careful in his interactions with her.

But of course, given their predicament, it wasnt as though he had much of a choice in the first place.

All I can do now is believe in that katanas story.

Even if that story is fake, if there were people who believed that story for a long time, then it should still have an effect.

Besides, it did actually keep rejecting him, so it probably wasnt a lie.

Maybe it cant exorcise him directly, but it should be able to exorcise the evil ki he inadvertently left on her.

As he prayed for the best, he collapsed on the ground and looked up.

Arrgh, damn it! I cant believe that little bit I did was enough to empty my spiritual power!

Listless after losing that power that resided in the soul, he threw out his limbs. It was a different feeling from consuming mana.

All he did was throw five charms and swing that katana four times, and yet he already ended up like this. Moreover, he was supporting everything including dealing with Kamunagis rejection with his mana too. After all, there was no way he couldve pulled all of that off if he didnt use his mana as well.

Compared to him, that girl used so many spirit blades and spirit arrows, and yet she was still fine. In fact, if not for him being beside her, she wouldve probably still had plenty of strength to spare.

This wasnt just the difference between a person whos trained and a person who hasnt. After all, he was able to manipulate the power of his soul right from the start. It was just that he didnt have any potential.

A commoners soul, huh. They did mention that a lot.

When he remembered the words of the greatest magician of that world, he laughed.

A commoners soul, the soul of a person whose power of existence, size, and capacity amounted to only this much.

Of course, the true meaning behind that phrase was something that only he himself could laugh at.

Ahh, but now, I have two debts to pay.

There wasnt any point in thinking about such idle things anymore, so he stopped his daydreaming and picked up the phone(foster)

He was hesitant to look up the personal information of a person hes caused so much trouble for, so he figured hed just have to borrow the hands of a dependable teacher(Frire).

Shinichi laughed with an evil face.
