The Deadly Sins Sorcerer of Magic Academy
Mahou Gakuen no Taizai Majutsushi
Arc 2 Martial Arts Festival
The First Group
Julis Anderberg.
The boy who had mastered the sorceries of deadly sins was in distress.
The sorceries of the deadly sins were the only weapon he had that was powerful and could be exercised without using mana inside his body.
However, the repertoire was limited to the seven sins that bear the name of the deadly sins. Therefore, if he played all of the cards in his hand, his tactics and action patterns would be grasped.
In addition, the sorceries of the deadly sins had been mastered in all of them. The only exception to this was Ira, which couldn’t be put under control, but all the other deadly sins had no further growth.
That was why Julis sought further strength.
Sorcery without growth would reach its limit. If an opponent like Musée appeared at the martial arts festival, which he couldn’t afford to lose, there was no guarantee that he would be able to win.
Furthermore, Julis’ sorceries were strong against one-on-one, but weak against one-on-many. Gula was somehow in the form of……, but it was too powerful and not suited for one-on-one combat.
After much anguish, he came up with a new form of magic, the result of which was────The demonic beast.
He embodied the mana in the atmosphere and applied it to his deadly sins sercery. Then, as a new creature, as a new magic, it would give Julis the authority to do so.
This was the new sorcery created by Julis.
This was the new weapon of the sorcery of deadly sins.
[…….The moment when you can look down on someone like this is so delightful, isn’t it?]
Julis laughed irreverently with the lion behind his back.
The scene was so bizarre that the people who were faced down on the ground in the arena could not comprehend what had happened.
But they could comprehend who did something.
“Inept! What the hell did you do!”
A male student, lying on the ground, stared at Julis with clenched teeth.
The student who raised his face looked as if he was being loaded with something heavy.
“Hmm? What did I do…… well ────”
Julis looked up at the lion figure and answered casually.
“Gravity manipulation────for now, I just had it apply 80 times the gravity to this place……. how’s that? You can’t raise your body, can you?”
The authority of the lion of Pride, the demonic beast of deadly sin, is gravity manipulation.
The authority that was born to make the opponent kneel down could manipulate the gravity of others other than himself.
For example, it could apply strong gravity to the opponent, as he was doing now, or it could even make his opponent’s gravity disappear.
The range was────about 100 meter radius.
(In terms of range, it is inferior to Superbia……, Well, this issue will have to wait until later.)
Julis thought about his future task.
“Damn it! What the hell is going on!?”
“I can’t move my body, it’s so heavy!”
“Stop this immediately!”
The students around him shouted.
Julis, who was delighted watching the scene────was arrogant, after all.
“This, very momeeeeeeeeeent!!!”
However, there was only one.
There was a student who stood up with a spirited voice.
He thrust his sword into the ground, gritted his teeth, and supported his trembling legs, defying Julis’ authority.
“Quite a feat, Ricardo…… to stand up even after all this, those muscles aren’t just for show…… are they?”
“Of course they aren’t, Julis!”
“…… I see.”
Julis smiled a small smile at the sight of Ricardo.
It might be …… because he was able to stand up.
“It doesn’t matter if I end up here. The conditions for defeat are either inability to continue, surrender────or out of the arena. So there’s no way I can win at this point.”
Taking one step at a time, Ricardo headed toward Julis alone.
But Julis would not allow it.
“I only want Cecilia to stand next to me. So Ricardo…… you stand back and just watch me.”
Julis poked the floor with his toe.
Then, a huge disastrous spell circle appeared centered on Julis.
Then Julis announced.
“Roar.”
At that moment, the student who was lying on the ground went toward the wall without floating.
There was no strong wind, just the force of gravity.
“……Ugh!”
Ricardo managed to hold his ground with his strong legs and his stabbed sword. But eventually, he couldn’t hold out any longer and went straight to the wall.
And then the sound of the impact of the students slamming into the stadium wall echoed────
“Now that I’ve made it this far, I guess we’re done with the────”You’re strong because you can use magic” stuff, am I right?”
“Wi, winner, Julis Anderberg!”
Thus, the deadly sins sorcerer claimed the first seat of the first grade.
♦♦♦
The first match of the tournament was over, but there were no cheers from the gallery.
“It’s amazing! Julis won, Mirabelle-san!”
“Y, yes…… he won……”
“I’ll have to congratulate him later! And since Julis must be tired…… I think I’ll give him another lap pillow?”
However, only Julis’ beloved one────only Cecilia was as happy and pleased as if she were Julis herself.
On the contrary, Mirabelle’s cheeks twitched.
(J, Julis-kun……, he made another outrageous spell…….)
The reason why Mirabelle was bitterly smiling was that she was speechless at the newly acquired power of Julis.
(But…… after all, Julis-kun is so cool…….)
And yet, the slight tinge in her cheeks is sure because she has been “poisoned” by Julis.
“‘It’s a feast today! I recently learned to cook a dish called “salt”, and I’m going to feed it to Julis!”
“Wait, Cecilia-chan! Salt is not a dish, it’s a seasoning!”
This was the moment when Cecilia’s poor cooking skills were glimpsed.
Amidst their lively exchange, students in the same audience seat were wide-eyed.
From those who mocked Julis as inept to students who didn’t know Julis in the first place. All of them, except for a few, fell silent.
Then, Franya finally came to her senses, and with her magic tool in her hand, she announced.
[It, it’s settleeeeeeeeeed! The match of the first group was settled in just a few short minuteeeeeeeees!]
At that voice, the spectators in the stadium also came back to reality, and the buzz spread at once.
[What a surprise, the winner was Julis Anderberg, a freshman in the S class! It seemed as if a large demonic beast appeared behind Julis-kun, most of the contestants fell to the ground, and finally out of the field────honestly, I don’t know exactly what happened there!]
Those watching might indeed have no idea what had just happened as well.
When Julis snapped his right hand’s fingers, a demonic beast appeared, and at that very moment, most of the contestants fell to the ground, except for Ricardo.
And the next thing they knew, everyone was instantly and vigorously heading out of the arena. ────Maybe it was too much to ask someone who didn’t know anything about sorcery to understand this.
[It doesn’t look like he used wind magic to blow them away……. Do you have any thoughts on that, Mrs. Principal?]
Franya asked Musée.
Then, Musée laughed, as if she had seen something funny.
[That lad…… is creating int’resting things again……. and I can not receiveth enow of him.]
[Erm, pardon………]
[Well, how couldst I beest boring to him…… Kukku, what a cute disciple who is’t cares so much f’r his mast’r……]
[U, umm……]
Franya was troubled by Musée, who abandoned the commentary and drowned into her own world. As a live reporter and a commentator, what should she do if they can’t respond to each other?
[A, anyway! It was Julis Anderberg who won the first match of the first grade! Let’s have a big round of applause, everyone!]
*Clap* *clap* *clap*
Sparse applause could be heard from the audience.
Could it be called a match?
Hadn’t it already been beyond our expectations?
Ultimately, what the hell was going on?
There were noticeable murmurs from the spectators.
But the word “inept” was not among their words.
♦♦♦
“Geez…… Julis is going right ahead of me…….”
Anastasia, who was watching the scene with a projection magic tool in the waiting room, had her cheeks twitched as well.
It was not contempt but frustration that she had not even reached him…… and yet, he was still going ahead.
“Fufu, you’re right. That’s what’s so typical of Julis-sama, and that’s what’s so cool about him…….”
On the contrary, a happy voice could be heard from Emilia standing next to her.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she was fixing her hot gaze on the projected image of Julis.
“Emilia-sama…… do you think you’ve been “poisoned” too much?”
“Oh my? Does Anastasia-sama think nothing of his figure?”
“Th, that’s……”
Anastasia faltered.
Indeed, she did think Julis looked cool a little bit when she saw that figure of him. She’d also love to be a princess who could be saved by a Julis……Ahem!
But────
“After all, my frustration outweighs it……. I also want to win against Julis.”
After all, her frustration still outweighed it.
Perhaps that was because Anastasia saw Julis as an equal.
“And by “also”, you mean────to me, too?”
“Yes, of course. I’m not going to lose, so be prepared for that.”
“Fufu, that is what I wish.”
The two laughed at each other.
After Julis was done, there was only one match left to fight for the last seat.
