Chapter 15

『Abyss Void!』

“Mirror Counter!”

『What!?』

Ah, I reflexively cast a reversal spell out of old habits… and even added an attribute reversal.

“Yumeno-kun… amazing…”

“Amagi-san! I’ll keep piling it on!!!”

“Okay!”

Baalor, hit by the spell I reflected back with a holy attribute reversal, staggered back.

This is my chance!

“‘Sacred Strike!!’”

And at the same time, Amagi-san and I unleashed the same spell without even coordinating beforehand.

Is it okay to feel like this is destiny?

The sight of Amagi-san casting her spell was so stunning that I completely forgot about the magical power release.

So dignified… so precious…

And our magic struck Baalor directly.

I added a follow-up just in case, but maybe it was pointless? Well, it hit, so that’s good.

I began preparing for the next move while Amagi-san charged in.

She might be a musclehead, but she’s definitely strong.

Her punches and kicks looked heavy… Where does such power come from in that seemingly light body?

『Grr… You dare!?』

“Eternal Shine!”

Somehow dodging Amagi-san’s kick, Baalor, who seemed to teleport away, unleashed a spell more powerful than I imagined.

Huh… that’s not something a student should be using… This is bad…

『Hmph! Do you not see this woman!?』

“What?”

Baalor moved the sphere of magical power that had trapped Sayamura-san and hurled it towards Amagi-san’s spell.

“Ahh…”

And the clash of black and white magical powers.

In the midst of that, Sayamura-san…

“Of course I understand. That’s why I’m here.”

『What!?』

“Yumeno-kun!!!”

I dove into the sphere with the teleportation magic I had prepared… to rescue Sayamura-san.

But what is this sphere?

The concentration of magical power is too high… combined with the massive magical release, it feels like it’s trying to steal my consciousness…

No! Tōma Yumeno!

If you faint here, no one will be saved!

If I can rescue Sayamura-san in a cool way, my evaluation from Amagi-san will definitely skyrocket!!!

Endure it, my “guts”! This is undoubtedly my moment to shine!!!

Somehow, keeping my consciousness intact, I flew between the collapsing black magical sphere and the oncoming white magical power while holding onto Sayamura-san.

Go! Teleport!!!

『Grr… You think you can escape from this situation…?』

“Magic Boost!”

“Thank you, Yumeno-kun! Get ready! Eternal Shine!!!”

As soon as I landed at the teleport destination, I sent a support spell to Amagi-san.

I know she’s going to cast that spell again.

Go, Amagi-san!!!

“Heal!”

“Ah… thank you, Yumeno-kun.”

“Don’t push yourself. You were exposed to a high-level monster’s magical power the whole time, right?”

“Yeah…”

“Cure Mind.”

“Ah… thank you. I feel calm now…♡”

As I distanced myself, I watched Amagi-san defeat Baalor while gently lowering Sayamura-san, casting recovery magic in a cradling position.

Sayamura-san seemed to be in quite a rough state and was leaning against me. I was using a skill to enhance the effect, and it seemed she was accepting it. Is this a perk of my role?

Compared to angelic Amagi-san, the fashionable Sayamura-san with her bright brown hair had a slightly gyaru-like vibe. Although they belong to different categories, she’s cute…

“Eriina !”

Then Amagi-san, having defeated Baalor, released her battle mode and rushed over.

Wow, she’s so cute.

The expression of concern for her friend truly looks like that of an angel.

It would be nice if she worried about me too… but she probably thinks I’m enduring the magical power release, so that’s unlikely.

“It’s okay. I cast a recovery spell, so maybe you just fainted peacefully.”

“Thank you, Yumeno-kun. I used that magic without thinking…”

“Um… it’s fine. I was prepared for it and ready to dive in, so I’m glad I could save you safely.”

She’s so close. It’s probably because she’s worried about Sayamura-san, but if she gets this close, I might faint myself…

“Amagi! Yumeno! … Is Sayamura okay!?”

At that moment, the teacher arrived.

And so did the other students.

They must have come down after receiving our signal for help.

I entrusted Sayamura-san to Amagi-san and explained what had happened.

“B-Baalor? Why is such a monster here… And what about the others?”

“As far as I can sense, they’re in this floor. They probably lost to Baalor. However, since I can detect them, let’s rescue them. The numbers add up.”

“Thank you, Yumeno. Do you know where they are?”

“Yes.”

I split up with the other classmates and rescued everyone.

Fortunately, it seemed there were hardly any monsters around, perhaps because they were overwhelmed by Baalor’s power.

In return, it seemed a lot of monsters had increased on the third floor, and it took a while for everyone to come down.

“Is everyone here? Then let’s head to the target, the fifth floor!”

With the teacher’s call, we descended the stairs leading to the fifth floor in order.

We rescued and healed everyone from the team of committee members and Sayamura-san who had lost to Baalor on the fourth floor, but we couldn’t push them any further, so we decided to wait.

It seems that other teachers are heading for rescue, and we’ll wait for them.

Meanwhile, the other students headed to the boss room on the fifth floor, which was our original target.

I hypothesized that Baalor might have dropped as a boss monster in the boss room, just like the Arch Demon did last time.

If that’s the case, the boss room might be a shell, so I judged there wouldn’t be much danger.

However…

The fifth floor we descended was filled with even denser magical power than the fourth floor…
