Anastasia and Brandt discuss the future, and Brandt eventually becomes a researcher, as he had originally planned.

Once you’re a court magician, you’re tied down and can’t move easily.

Knowing Researcher Foster’s future, Anastasia thought that becoming a court magician might help him avoid it, but she feared that if something unforeseen happened, there would be nothing she could do about it.

With Brandt’s skills, he could become a court magician at any time.

And if push comes to shove, Anastasia can just run away. Then there’ll be no difference in social status.

Anastasia considered the matter a low priority to be dealt with.

Instead, there are things that need to be settled as soon as possible.

“… I think we should get rid of that demon as soon as possible.”

Brandt’s parents’ killer, the demon, was certain to bring disaster.

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

It’s possible that the demon may have been responsible for the outbreak of monsters in her last life.

“Well… I know this is selfish of me, but… I want to defeat that demon myself. Can you teach me how to fight Anastasia-san? Didn’t you enhance your body and beat him? I was stunned, so I couldn’t put my finger on it.”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“It was striking magic directly from the fist, along with a formula that lowered magic resistance. To block the opponent’s counterattack, the formula was crushed before it was triggered, and a spell was used to stop him when he tried to move his body.”

Anastasia replies, and Brandt freezes, staring at Anastasia, stunned.

“…Is that doable?”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“If you fail even once, you will probably lose, but if you keep succeeding, you can do it.”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

It’s a trend to focus on attack and ignore defense, so if they had been seriously attacked, they would have been easily defeated.

But against this demon, you had to do something so extreme to stand a chance.

“…Anastasia-san is a fearsome fighter, isn’t she? I don’t think even a court magician could do that. Even an experienced hunter who has fought monsters directly… I don’t think that’s possible. They can’t even use their formulas that quickly.”

Brandt murmurs with a sigh.

Anastasia thinks about it, but the same strategy seems difficult for Brandt.

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

Brandt is much more powerful, but Anastasia is faster at deploying formulas.

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

Of course, Brandt’s formulas are also much faster than those of ordinary magicians.

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

However, in order to be able to estimate the opponent’s movements in a split second and deploy formulas, he must also have combat experience.

Unlike Anastasia, who has been through the line of death in her last life, Brandt has only dealt with ordinary monsters in the dungeon so far.

“Brandt-senpai is also skilled in martial arts, isn’t he?”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“Yes, in its own way.”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“If I were to do something similar, I’d have to find a way to contain a counterattack, not with a formula but with a physical attack that crushes the opponent so they can’t do anything. If you just put magic power on your fists and hit, you don’t have to use the formulas as fast.”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

Of course, if you get hit while deploying a formula, your concentration will be broken and you won’t be able to activate the formula. For this reason, magicians usually keep their distance from the enemy.

“Ah… I see. You’ll need a lot of combat skills for that, but you could also combine them…”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“Or you could somehow find an opening and hit it with all your might just once. I’d need a lot of moves, but I think Brandt-senpai would probably be able to take him out with one hit if he was hit properly.”

Brandt’s magic power, which was high to begin with, has increased even more since the magic circuits were healed.

If Anastasia had had the same amount of magic as Brandt when she fought the demon, she could have stopped it without letting it escape.

“Sounds like it’s worth a try. I’m a fast formula deployer myself, but I don’t think I’ll ever get to Anastasia-san’s level, so I’ll have to find another way.”

“I can help you, too. I mean, I need to train more too…”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“Then we’ll train together.”

Brandt smiles and puts his hand on Anastasia’s.

Then, all of a sudden, Anastasia realizes that she has answered the confession, which makes her feel a little flustered.

She is also reminded of Regina’s earlier remark about the dodgy stuff, and her head is getting messed up.

“… O-Oh, that demon, when will he show up…”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

Anastasia winced and stepped back from the conversation.

“Yeah… Maybe we’ll meet in a dungeon somewhere… But if he comes from the other side… it could be the school festival…”

“The school festival… “

Anastasia’s confused consciousness is instantly snapped back.

The demon tribe seemed to be after Brandt and would have had a strong grudge against Anastasia.

There is a good chance that the other party will show up.

“The academy is normally shielded from outsiders. It is said to be an ancient legacy and very powerful. But during the school festival, the barriers will be relaxed for outside visitors. Of course, security will be tightened, but… that’s manpower.”

As Anastasia listens to Brandt’s explanation, she thinks back to the school festival in her last life.

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

Various stalls will be set up, magic spell competitions will be held, and the whole of Academy City will be in a festive mood.

However, it is not just a festival but also a place for job hunting, so to speak.

Messengers come from all over the world to scout for magicians, and sometimes even experienced hunters come.

Participation in the contests is voluntary, and anyone who wants to show off their skills is encouraged to attend. Prizes are also offered, so many people come for the prizes.

At the time, Anastasia was a first-year student, but since she had nothing to do with finding a job and couldn’t do magic spells well enough to win a prize, she just wandered the booths.

——If I remember correctly, I didn’t hear that Brandt had entered the contest.

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

I don’t know if it was because he had decided to become a researcher at that point or if there was some other reason. There is no way to know anymore.

“Is Brandt-senpai participating in the competition?”

To help the translator, read webnovels stories at “skymachinetranslation”, where the original is.

“Well… Last year and the year before, I did, but considering the possibility of encountering the demon this year, I think it’s better to postpone it to preserve my magic power. Well, the school festival sometimes attracts alumni who’ve become court magicians and even senior hunters, so I don’t think it’ll be too much of a problem…”

“I think we should take precautions. The school festival is in a month…”

Anastasia mutters, a slight chill running down her spine.

——I have a feeling that something is going to happen at the festival.
