To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

 

The angle, the moment, the stance, it's clearly a fatal blow. No matter how fast Raymond was, there was no way he could get back in the fight.

　With the certainty of victory in my heart, I struck with my spear and...

"Ah-ha!"

　Raymond gave a fierce smile.

　This is it. The same look of a fighter that comes out when Lucy finds a strong enemy, when she senses a struggle that washes blood in her veins.

　The presence of the boy in front of her swells.

　Ah, yes.

　In the original game's plot , Raymond was alone until the start of the story. He had no one to compete with, and therefore no doubt that he was the best in a closed world.

　He didn't need to be, so he didn't seek greater strength.

But now, in order to overcome the obstacle that was me, Raymond wanted strength.

The genius who is almost the world' s strongest class, one step behind Schneizel and Lucy, wanted to win desperately.

　Raymond stepped on the ground. A crack, and even though he did not shatter the floor, there was a sound of something breaking.

Raymond's leg is broken.

Perhaps his immature body could not keep up with his talent. The super-speed that destroys itself. The genius accelerates one step further.

　Too fast, too fast to even take a defensive stance in time, let alone evade...

Raymond's spear, which was out of the reach for reason, clearly outstripped the current me.

Damn!

Within the boundaries set up in the arena, I strongly activated my physical strengthening to the limit allowed. Then, as Raymond took one more step forward, I turned his feet into mud with an earth attribute, killing his speed.

After doing all that, our speed gap finally returned to the stage before Raymond's awakening.

"Hahaha!"

Raymond, who managed to turn away the spear so fast that it looked hazy---and pulled it back at the same speed as the strikes, unleashed a barrage of blows. I realized that I couldn't handle the amount of hits that amounted to a barrage with my spear, so I created a blast in front of me that blew Raymond away, and at the same time, I retreated myself.

"I'm not going to take you on. More spears!"

I shattered his other leg by stepping into it, and he charged forward without frowning at me. He shatters his other leg with a step and lunges at it without even frowning.

At this point, a spear is definitely not going to beat him, here.

　And when he grows up and his body catches up with his talent, he will do this as a matter of course, right?

　Monster.

With some irritation, I activated the light attribute first level magic. An intense light occurs in front of Raymond's eyes, blinding him.

　Then came the wind attribute. When he is blinded, he is hit by strong wind from the front, back, left, and right, and while he is in the middle of it, the earth attribute magic turns his feet into mud, and when he falls down, it solidifies and traps him this time.

　Not a single second had passed while I did this.

'Ha, ha!"

And by casting a recovery spell on myself, I had almost completely cured myself of my previous exhaustion.

What do I do now? Do I still want to fight? I'm going to repeat the whole process from the start of the fight to now as many times as I have to until I run out of magic power, right?

I literally stared at Raymond in perfect physical condition.

Raymond, who seemed to have finally gotten his vision back, looked at me and then at his own legs and laughed. It was a smile that was so refreshing.

" I can' t win this one,. I give up. My legs hurt."

　Right after Raymond declared that, the ward automatically cast a recovery spell on him. Apparently, his leg, which had been shattered by his step, was so badly injured that the wards could not ignore it.

　He ran and fought at full speed while carrying it and even though it must be painful, he is still smiling.

　Genius is scary.

"The winner is Norwin von Endenberg!"

After a beat, a loud cheer breaks out.

I stood up, giving Raymond a shoulder to stand on, and slowly walked away from the arena.

　My spear ability had reached its limits. I've also exposed my magic. I guess the battle will be harder from now on.

　Well, it's for Crescencia's sake. Shall I give it my all?
