Chapter 56: Strike
"The demons again? They don't know how to rest I see which is pretty bad for our situation right now. I have low mana and I don't think I can fight right now. Akari is still out and you are the only fit to fight right now Kazuma but with your inexperience makes it a bad thing for you to go and fight alone," Godou said calmly.
"How dare you say that to master!" Yuri quickly tried t summon her power but I quickly stopped her.
"It's alright Yuri. What he is saying is the truth. I don't think I will survive a wave of demons all by myself and even if the two of you helped, I don't think that would change. Besides, unlike the time on the GATES, we are not prepared since they are already almost here. And yes, I am still inexperienced and the way I battle earlier is just pure power from my fists without any mastery in magic. And besides, I have limited magic to use. Add my low mana too and I am sure to get killed if I fight alone."
"So you will allow the demons to kill everyone inside the school? You won't interfere or anything?! Aren't you a protector against the demons You fight for humanity right?" Irina confronted me and looked at me with a furious look.
"Me? A protector of humanity? That was rather an overstatement, Irina. And if possible, I have no care if the demons annihilate the students in this school. I don't really care about them at all."
"How can you say that, Kazuma?!" Irina grabbed my collar even though she can't really lift me up.
"It's not really my care to do it. And I am not a hero who will waste my life over people who never really cared about the well beings of the others especially to me who they view someone as a negative person. You could say that this is their karma."
Hearing that, Irina gritted her teeth and turns to Godou who is just listening to our conversation. "You won't say anything?"
"I actually agree with Kazuma's reasoning. With all the treatment he gets every day, that is enough for Kazuma to keep Kazuma from trouble in every minute."
"But..."
"However Kazuma, this is not about saving those people, it's about to keep the demons from doing what they want. Are you sure you want to keep on doing it?"
I sighed and stood up. "I guess, but I am not fighting for those bastards, I am fighting for myself and I want those materials they drop so that I can buy some items."
"Aye, but, can you do it? I mean, it's going to be hard..." Godou asked.
"I will just use this Skull Knuckles. At least, this allows me to get the monsters without doing many problems in my mana."
"Demons are getting to the vicinity!" Blue announced.
"I will be back, come join me later once you get to finish the recovery of your mana."
"..." Godou stayed silent.
Otome finally released Moonlight's forehead and sighed. "She is fine now. Are you sure you won't stop that kid, Godou?"
"Nah, I don't hold his decisions. If he wanted to do that, then I will not stop him. He is holding that demonic Brass Knuckles after all."
...
Sprinting in the hallway, I found out that the infirmary is located on the third floor so I quickly need to get there or those bastards will just offer themselves as free food for the demons.
"Yuto, can you still teleport?" I asked.
"Not at the moment master. Although we can get a quick trip with this teleportation, I need 3 hours before I can cast it again."
"Damn, I guess I have no choice but to activate the flames on my shoes and get to the demons as fast as I can."
Blazing my shoes, I started running while having the flames boosting my speed. With the help of that, I managed to reach the bottom without any trouble. But the demons are already in the school ground.
"F*ckers, you all are going to get some sh*t to taste right now! Get out of the way if you don't want to be a snack!" I shouted to the spectators at the entrance who are still watching the demons.
When they turned around, I activated the flames in my hands in full burst to scare them. This caused them to clear the entrance as I continue to run towards the entrance.
As soon as I managed to get out, I saw the demons rushing towards the entrance. Since they are coming in, then I raised my fist and charge my fist with mana burst of flames.
"BURN IN HELL! RETURN TO GEHENNA!"
