About the case of destruction flags being demolished after a nichiasa loving otaku was reincarnated as a villainous student – Chapter 246 – The power of the combat miko

“Hey hey hey hey hey! Those three just transformed! Awesome! Awesome!”

“Hahaha, Well, I get the excitement. It’s interesting and pretty flashy.”

“No Ryuuga. Yuugo isn’t excited for the same reasons a normal person would be. I don’t really understand either, but I do know that the meaning behind his reaction isn’t the same as the other boys…”

Yuugo’s otaku heart was tickled by the combat miko’s transformation sequence, that was reminiscent of the early morning shows targeted at girls that he enjoyed so much.

Most boys were excited over seeing the girls naked, covered only in light, for just a moment, but he watched the whole transformation sequence with a shine in his eyes.

Melt did not really understand what was on his mind, but assumed it was something typical of him and how he loved heroes. And as she explained this to Ryuuga, the combat miko began fighting the monsters.

“Take action first and take victory! Here I go!”

Sakura was the first to move out, and bisected monsters with the naginata that was suddenly in her hand.

Her attack had a wide range and hit multiple monsters with one swing, and Yuugo was impressed by her power to slaughter them in that manner. Meanwhile, Ryuuga spoke about her and explained her magic item.

“Sakura Amamiya… She is an honor student from an old and honored house in Yamato that worships water loong, the Amamiya house.

Her mother was also a combat miko, and her father a famous general in Yamato, so she received not only education as a miko, but also as a military person. She wields the Rain Loong Nagi, a weapon made of the tail of the loong that rules over rain.

This weapon of fluid moves and bold techniques is perfect for her.”

Yuugo watched closely as he heard Ryuuga, and saw that water splashed every time she swung the naginata.

It was likely that the blade was coated in the slimmest of water, and she used the compressed current to increase the power of her slashes. As Yuugo thought this, Ryuuga started talking about the second girl.

“The white-haired girl, Setsuna Kogarashi, uses a bow. Its bowstring was made from the beard of a wind loong, and its name is Loong String Bow. Unleashing its power creates several kinds of winds, and the arrows are made of the user’s magic energy, so they are virtually infinite.

But it is her calm decision-making and skill with the bow that really brings out its full power.”

“Eh…! So she uses a magic item similar to my Seward Ring…!!”

Sometimes she pierced monsters by quick firing arrows, sometimes she blew them away with arrows that carried a tornado, and sometimes she showed off her angled shots by using the flow of the wind to hit monsters from unexpected angles… This was how she supported Sakura, who was on the front line.

Her expression never changed, and she was truly calm as she took down monsters. Her ability to analyze the battle and make decisions from the back was exceptional.

“Third, Raiha Utsusemi. At a glance, it seems she has no weapons, but do you see something on her right glove? That is a special magic item made from the claw of a lightning loong. The nail stretching from the index finger can write things and execute various abilities. By writing on paper, she can create charms with the power of lightning that she then uses to cover others, making her an important factor in deciding battles. She is an interesting combat miko, not to be underestimated due to her size.”

“I’m ready! Sakura, get back!”

It could be called neither a gauntlet or a glove, Raiha’s magic item covered her index finger and could best be described as a reverse fingerless glove. After giving the signal to Sakura, she closed her eyes, and despite being indoors, lightning fell into the exercise area. Monsters were burned one after the other through the many charms she set up.

“Uwa, amazing…! The monsters never even got close…!!”

“This is the power of combat miko from Yamato…? Ryuuga, what’s wrong? Your face looks stiff.”

“Hn? A-ah, sorry… I was just a little surprised. I don’t really like lightning.”

They were definitely not high rank monsters, but there were quite a few of them.

Yuugo was impressed by how the combat miko slaughtered them all through their teamwork, never even letting them get near, but he noticed that the commentator, Ryuuga, had a stern expression.

Once he pointed that out, Ryuuga explained with an awkward smile that he was not a fan of lightning. It seemed the confession embarrassed him.

So even the strongest swordsman had trouble dealing with some things, thought Yuugo, as Sakura and the others left the combat area and once again spoke to the students.

“This is our power. We are still learning, but that is precisely why we believe this chance to interact with you will further improve us. This ‘audaytion’ will serve to determine who will help us grow by being with us. Setsuna, Raiha, the teachers… Everyone will be observing you through their own standards. I hope you, the elite of Luminous Academy, will display your power to its fullest.”

“I see… I think I get most of it.”

“Are you okay Yuugo? Do you really?”

Yuugo nodded, and Melt sounded unsure.

It seemed simple, but somehow, she wondered if he really did understand. And then, Ramy took over again to explain what the test entailed.
