Military Spirit Contract Ceremony

Academy City was a small town located within the territory of the Areishia Spirit Academy. The panorama of the city, which is made up of stone buildings, is crowded with crowds of residents. This afternoon, a spirit contract ceremony was held by the Knights of Ordesia to obtain one talented new person. The choice of taking participants from Areshia Spirit Academy was the right choice because it was an academy of spirit users from the elite, even though some students there were not elite.

According to his explanation in Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, Blade Dance or Sword Dance itself is one of the rituals with the aim to please the spirits. But it cannot be denied, Blade Dance is also one of the events that humans love. Spirit likes an enthusiastic human in large numbers, or more or less like that when Author checks on his Light Novel in volume 1 CHAPTER 8 with the title “ Strongest Sword Dancers”.

“Why am I here?” kamito asked in a monologue with a sense of daze.

“That's obvious, isn't it?” Ellis who was beside him replied. “Before you were very messed up in using the spirit of your contract. I don't know what problem you have, though, but it is possible that you will get enlightenment on how to use the contracted spirit well and correctly if you make direct observations on how the spirit user conducts the fight. Watch them carefully, I believe your spirit is a powerful spirit.”

“Hah... penguli is better than watching the game here.” Kamito let out a tired sigh as he felt that he had been forced to follow something beyond his will. “By the way, I'm more curious where Kino-san is currently. I haven't seen him since we finished class. Is she okay?”

“Take it easy, Kamito-sama. Kino-san is a strong person. No matter what happens, I'm sure he'll be fine,” Carol said.

•••••

Inside the arena today there are about 20 participants who participated in this match. They do their best to attack every other participant while making defense and trying to defend. This battle royal system was looking for one last person who could survive in the arena, then he would make a contract with Glasya-Labolas. A very quick way to figure out who is the winner because there is only one round and wait for who can survive.

In the early days of the fight, various attacks slid very hard and continuously. Each spirit contractor continued to attack while trying to dodge and defend until it was only left of a party. When only half of the participants were left to about 10, the seven realized that there were two powerful enemies who until now were not exhausted and were still in top condition. The two people had also still not fought before.

They are Miko Yotsuya and Claire Elstein. Previously, when there were still many participants left, the two chose to make peace and not fight each other before the other participants were eliminated. The reason was simple, it was because Claire realized Miko with her three contracted spirits had more mana reserves to eliminate more participants, she said, while Miko understands that she cannot divide her focus between attacking Claire and defending from other participants.

Working together for a while is wiser than being hostile to each other in the beginning and losing at the starting line together. The two also benefit from each other by helping each other beat the other participants. Well, you know for yourself. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Currently Claire and Miko are their respective enemies, but they are also enemies of other participants. Do not hesitate to cooperate with rivals when in more favorable conditions.

By the way if you ask why Rikka was not included in the previous narrative, instead the Author forgot about her whereabouts. Only, he used Henge no jutsu to turn his body into a fly. Instead of participating in instant confrontations, he saves more energy to hide and wait for the enemy to decrease in number.

Even being a coward is part of the strategy. Between winning in losing self-esteem or losing proudly is a choice that humans can take. But I as someone will only remind you, is not if you lose it will lose everything? Even if it still had some self-esteem, if no one would admit it anymore, would it still be useful? Don't be so arrogant and look for prestige.

Even though I say it like that, it does not mean that I advise you to justify any means to win. Cheating with a bit of cowardice is okay because this is actually a trick. If the trick is to make an agreement then unilaterally cancel it, then this is not a strategy trick but rather is pure cheating. Hmm.. a little difficult to explain, anyway do not do dirty tricks. Use a clean trick.

*boom!* *blar!* *bom!*

Miko and Claire use magic crazily to create an explosion that fills the arena. In one strike, all participants immediately fell and were eliminated due to the explosion. Only the two of them remained as attackers and Rikka who happened to be on the outer side of the arena outside the blast area survived. It became a decisive three-sided fight.

“As expected of my colleague. You can even still stand upright after using such a big attack.” Claire smiled with a challenged feeling as she looked at Miko.

His Elemental waffe, the Tongue Flame, was in his hands with a huge and hot blaze. The heat radiation he emitted made sweating in the people around him. Surprisingly, Claire is unaffected by the heat of her weapon. Therefore, once again let's say that “hal is because it is in the fantasy world”.

“Can't you just give up, Claire-san? You already have Scarlet as your spirit contract, don't you? Why do you want to obtain more spirit contracts? Are you unfaithful?” Miko bombarded with a few questions.

A direct fight is a bad idea for Miko. He had never won a duel against Claire. What can he expect to defeat Claire? Convincing the enemy to surrender sounded absurd on the battlefield straight away, but remember it was Naruto when he used Talk no jutsu on Nagato.

Miko used all three of her elemental waffes at the moment. Katana of Kitsuna, a harness from Okuri, and a ring from Nekomata. Without improvement in defense, attack, and speed, Miko who incidentally is a person from the modern world will immediately flounder in the early days of the fight. As my Indonesian teacher said, be a lucky person.

“People who have contracts with three spirits are not entitled to say that!”

*Syut!* *syut!* *syut!*

The whip meanders through the air, wildly whipping Miko's body using her body.

This was different from Astral Zero. They are in the real world right now. When the whip hits the body, then it will actually become a physical wound, not converted into a mental wound. Fortunately Miko has three spirits helping her, or it will be “edan”'s act to follow this match without a spirit contract.

*sis!* *sis!* *sis!*

Miko used the Explosive Talisman and Sharp Cutting Talisman as her prefix, then she used the Piercing Wind Talisman to push the two towards Claire.

“Tch!” Claire grieves because Miko's attack makes herself in a defensive condition.

*bombs!* *jleb!*

Claire used Flame Tongue's body to hold the Explosive Talisman and made it explode halfway through, but unfortunately the Sharp Cutting Talisman had materialized and a sharp blade pierced across his left shoulder when no one blocked the attack.

Pretty lucky for Claire because this attack only hit her left shoulder. The dominant hand he used to fight was his right hand. Despite being injured and repeating his combat power, but at least it did not make himself slump until he could not continue the fight.

"You're more developed apparently." Claire is somewhat surprised at Miko's rapid development.

Also, he said it normally like he did not feel any pain in his left shoulder that was bleeding from the previous attack. A completely different mentality from the modern world. If the person here is hit by a scratch from the razor alone, feels like crying as decided by him who we already support with a lot of property.

*chuck!*

A greenish glow enveloped Claire's left shoulder before her wound recovered completely as it had been.

'Some kind of healing magic, yes. It reminds me if I need one of them, Miko's inner self as she observes Claire's arm healing.

"Prepare!" Claire prepares to deliver an attack, but before that ….

*poof!* *bom!*

Rikka Takanashi suddenly transforms from a fly into its original form, then hits Claire right on her head.

*chuck!*

Then, Rikka formed her elemental waffe, and held Claire's body using the big hammer and held her back from getting up.

"You are strong, Claire. But no matter how strong you are, strong people will still lose against smart people." Rikka showed her face with an aura of proud victory around her.

"You …." Rikka gritted her teeth in annoyance under Rikka's hammer.

It was fine to lose in a direct fight, but losing in an ambush attack was infuriating. Not only could he not show his full ability, but losing because the ambush was so embarrassing. This showed that he was incompetent in fighting and was very easy to defeat. Not to mention, many spectators surrounded them.

*burn!*

The flames started burning as the temperature increased around Claire's place.

"Hot! It's hot!" Rikka jumped in pain as she felt the heat beneath her.

Claire slowly rose from her place with an aura of horror as she said, "How dare you…. I'll burn you to fries…."

"Ma-Sorry. I didn't mean …." Rikka did not manage to finish her sentence because she saw the horror and creepy figure of Claire.

"Ara, it looks like you guys are having fun, yes," a voice caught their attention.

And, yep. She is Restia Ashdoll. She was a high-level dark element spirit in the form of a young girl wearing a night-colored dress. He seemed to have pale skin with long shiny black hair that reached his waist and twilight-colored eyes.

Restia was created by the Elemental Lord of Darkness, Ren Ashdoll and also a part of her was the Darkness of the Otherworld, making her immune to the obnoxious Darkness, to be the container of her desire to guide the future Demon King. He stated that he had taken part in the Spirit War between the five Elemental Lords and Ren Ashdoll, clashing with Scarlet Valkyrie, Ortlinde (the current Claire spirit).

The eyes of all the spectators were fixed on the spirit floating in this air. In their eyes, she was more like a girl because of her spirit form. But knowing that there was no way an ordinary human would have such an ability, then what they thought was if this girl was a strong spirit user or a powerful spirit itself. For a while, all the spectators fell silent and observed what this spirit was going to do.

"Restia…?" Kamito said it quietly without being heard by other spectators.

But even so, Rinslet who was right beside him could hear the words Kamito said quite clearly. He just turned his head and noticed Kamito's gaze fixed on Restia.

Restia in the sky looked at Kamito who was in the stands. “I want to meet you Kamito, but …." The girl stared at the black blob in her hand before throwing it at the pillar where Glasya-Labolas was. "Look, the boy is almost awake.”

As the black wisp turned into mist in the middle of the air, it quickly surrounded the worship stone on the altar that was in the shape of a stone pillar above the sky. Melting into a black fog, the black-like blob affected the stone pillars in the air where the Glasya-Labolas were sealed.

“Ah, it looks like she's awake,” Restia said with a small grin.

*crack!* *Crack!*

the stone pillar surrounded by black fog started to crack. The cracks became increasingly large and seeped on the entire stone pillar in just a matter of seconds that could be counted using one hand.

*bom!*

From the crack of the pillar stone, a gigantic human hand appeared. The size is so large that the entire human body can be grasped using the giant hand. This size was enough to make an ordinary person tremble with cold sweat.

Well, maybe Eren would even laugh at this hand.

'One of the many spirits is the Berserk Spirit which can make other spirits go mad or go berserk. Perhaps, Restia could control that spirit and make Glasya-Labolas go berserk?' inner Kamito. 'The Berserker Spirit itself was not a high-level spirit and lacked attack ability. But his way of fighting was, he would make other spirits run amok and craze until their existence vanished. If Glasya-Labolas were to go berserk, everyone in this place would be threatened!'

Restia laughed gigglingly at the sight of a spirit as strong as Glasya-Labolas was embodying himself from the stone seal. Of course he knew how many fatalities there would be at the worst possible and how much property losses could be. But this is the attitude he has.

“See you, Kamito. We'll meet again.” With a sinister demonic smile and giving intimidation, Restia disappeared from the sky into thin air and could no longer be seen.

“Be careful! That spirit will be freed from its seal!” claire shouted a warning to everyone.

*blars!*

The rock blast was very loud with debris from the falling stone pillars.

Around the arena of the match, there was something like a barrier blocking the participants' attacks on the spectators. But when the debris fell following Glasya-Labolas, the barrier was destroyed leaving the audience open and vulnerable to attack. Even some of today's less fortunate spectators had to fall debris and massive bodies of Glasya-Labolas before they died.

“Kya!”

“Wa!”

In an instant, the atmosphere that was previously full of excitement due to the enthusiasm of the audience became crowded due to the hysterical cries of the audience. Unlike the spirit users, the spectators did not have the slightest strength to defend themselves. They can only die or escape when in the presence of powerful spirits like Glasya-Labolas as enemies. There is no meaningful resistance from them.

All the spectators in the stands immediately fled. As a human being, it is normal to attach importance to the safety of himself and his own family. Other people, they were less concerned and some of the spectators there were trampled by the other spectators. The atmosphere became gripping and full of chaos just because of the appearance of one person.

Inside the crowd, Kamito and Rinslet were confused in finding a way outside or a place to move freely. They could still remain calm despite the atmosphere becoming chaotic like this, it was just that they were powerless to move because the large currents of people made the movements of both of them blocked. Damn for not being able to move for a while.

“Rinslet, go to the arena to pick up the fainting participants first. I'll catch up later,” cried Kamito before separating due to the current of time.

“Even if you say it like that, there is nothing I can do in the middle of this crowd!”

•••••

“Hey, Claire, do you think you can defeat a spirit like Glasya-Labolas?” ask Miko who is standing in front of Claire.

“Hmph! Don't underestimate me. If it wasn't for him ambushing, I wouldn't have lost this match.” Claire prepared her whip as she said confidently. “You alone, do you think you can beat him?”

“Entahlah. Where might I know before trying.” Miko slightly formed a smile.

Glasya-Labolas were gigantic spirits used by the Knights of the Ordesian Empire, mostly used to suppress spirit attacks. It was classified as a battle-class military spirit. The overall length of Glasya-Labolas was over ten meters. Despite being predicted as a powerful spirit, in the anime he was defeated only by Kazehaya Kamito. Between the Glasya-Labolas that are actually weak or the Terminus Est that is strong, one of the two that form the Kamito victory factor.

“Big! He was even bigger than the Demon Spirit before!” Rikka was amazed to see the spirit.

“Alright, now let's have a tactical discussion,” Claire said. “Rikka will be a diversion, Miko the main attacker, and I will be a flexible supporter. At least I'm sure I can stop the movement for a while using my elemental waffe.”

“Wait, why am I a distraction?” rikka asked confused and did not accept.

“Well, you can turn your body into a fly. You are the most suitable in such a mission. Or ...” Claire made a fireball using her left hand. “You prefer to feel the heat of my fireball and become fries?”

“No, no, no, I'll be a diversion!” Rikka immediately darted forward after that.

“Good. I think I should make more useless charcoal reserves, hahaha.”

‘Previous french fries, now charcoal. Which is correct?’ ask Miko in her mind.

•••••

*drap!* *Drap!* *Drap!*

Rikka Takanashi ran towards Glasya-Labolas despite being terrified. Better head to Glasya-Labolas where she might still survive than Claire where she will be reduced to ashes. 'Splendid! Why should I be a distraction to a creature of this size!'

The large hammer that became Rikka's elemental waffe was temporarily disabled. After all, it was not the destructive ability he needed at the moment. He only needed agility to dodge attacks and become his diversion.

Glasya-Labolas' large arm was lifted after he fell and smashed many of the audience seats. He would deliver a punch using this colossal arm on the target approaching him, Rikka.

"OK, I just need to try to avoid his attacks as much as possible, right?" monologue Rikka.

On the other side of the arena, Miko heads to Glasya-Labolas via a different path from Rikka. If Rikka goes through a straight path and goes straight to this military spirit, Miko surrounds the circle-shaped arena to minimize the possibility that she will be the target of an attack.

Katana from Kitsuna is in her right hand. He himself was not very expert and had absolutely no skills in using weapons like this one katana. At the very least, it could make his attacks sharper than using punches from bare hands.

*wush!*

From his left hand, he took out some talismans. Three of the talismans were Explosive Talismans and one was Piercing Wind Talisman. Piercing Wind Talisman provides a boost using the wind to make the Explosive Talisman more quickly reach Glasya-Labolas.

*Srak!* *srak!* *srak!*

The third Explosive Talisman clings to the hand of Glasya-Labolas who would have thought Rikka.

*bombs!* *bomb!* *bomb!*

Several large explosions occurred.

*ss!*

After the smoke disappeared, the Glasya-Labolas wrist arm disappeared completely.

"Heh, this is easier than I imagined." Miko slightly smiled seeing the impact of her attack.

Miko continued to advance towards Glasya-Labolas. On the other hand, Rikka became safer as one of the Glasya-Labolas attacks disappeared from its path. This made Rikka think, 'Even if she told me just as a distraction, it's fine if I'm involved in an assault, right?'

*poof!*

Rikka Takanashi calls her elemental waffe back, and turns it into a katana like Miko's. "Let's start, Konigin der Nacht. We'll show them our skills!"

Continuing forward to the foot of Glasya-Labolas, Rikka lifted the katana as it prepared to slash, then ….

*clank!*

The sound of an iron impact was heard when Rikka's katana and Glasya-Labolas's legs collided.

"Eh?" Rikka did not expect the attack would be useless. "I thought, it would be so easy as I split the wood easily during practice. Is the magic boost from my weapon less powerful?"

Glasya-Labolas raised his left arm which was still intact, then targeted Rikka who was right below him. This heavy attack would definitely give instant death if it hit Rikka's body. Henge no jutsu only changes shape, not for power and others.
