“Good job, big brother. It was over so fast.”
“It looked like you had some trouble because he caught you off guard. You’re still too naive, what if it was a real fight?”
“Hm, well, you know. More importantly, can I talk to you about something, Phi and An?”
“Ah? What is it?”
The fight between Yuugo and Darom was over in less than a minute, so his friends who were watching did not question his victory.
If anything, they questioned how he took that first attack, but Yuugo was more interested in talking to Phi and An about the malfunction in his magic item, since they were the ones tuning Blaster.
“Blaster felt weird. Sorry, but can you take a look at it?”
“Weird? In what way?”
“I can’t really express it, but it was like it was heavier. I mean…”
“Hn? Did something go wrong in tuning? But I didn’t see any problems during maintenance, and I don’t remember adding any new features…”
Phi and An were confused about Yuugo’s vague description.
Yuugo trusted them, and was also confused about why there was suddenly something wrong with Blaster.
“It was fine when I trained yesterday… I was a little taken aback when something felt wrong all of a sudden.”
“And you didn’t do anything weird. It is strange.”
“I don’t get it either. Can I have a look, big brother?”
“Of course… Hn?”
Yuugo was about to remove the bracelet, when he remembered something.
His face twitched when he thought back to something that felt strange when he put it on in the dressing room, that he did not question at the time.
(Seriously? Another one of these events where a disaster falls on the hated guy?)
His neighbor suddenly appeared while he was having a party with his friends. His clothes got wet in the dining hall, and he was taken to the bath. And then the seniors suddenly appeared to challenge him to a duel.
Blaster then suddenly malfunctioned despite showing no problems until that point… One possibility came to mind.
He quickly turned around and looked at where the other guys were sitting, and glared at Avado, the one who dragged him to the bath, when he saw him with them.
He immediately turned away and hid behind the others when he noticed Yuugo’s stare, but it was a step too late.
“That bastard…! He…!!”
“What is it big brother?”
Phi saw his brother’s face twitch all of a sudden, and turning into a fierce smile as he glared at the other students, and fearfully asked what was going on, but his big brother said nothing.
Instead, he turned to Melt with a request.
“Sorry Melt, but can you create a sword with your Seward Ring?”
“Eh? I guess I can, but…”
Melt had no idea why Yuugo was asking that, but created a sword with magic energy and gave it to him.
Yuugo activated Blaster and caught the thrown sword, but after staring at it for a while… Nothing happened to the violet sword.
“…What is it big brother? Why are you staring at the sword?”
“…It’s not changing. The function to attach metal particles to sword shaped things isn’t working.”
“Eh…!?”
“That’s not all. I can’t activate the flaming armor either. That settles it then.”
Phi added a feature to Yuugo’s Blaster that allowed it to use metal particles to create weapons.
However, even as he tried to activate it on Melt’s sword, this Blaster did not seem to respond.
He could not activate what was basically a form change either, so after sighing, Yuugo walked towards Avado.
“Hey Avado. You really got me you bastard…!”
“G-got what? I have no idea what…”
Avado’s eyes wandered as he desperately tried not to let the pressure of Yuugo in his Blaster affect him, and tried to evade his question.
The others tried to shield him from Yuugo’s glare, but they could not keep this hidden.
“…I assume you’re involved too. No, you’re the main culprits, right?”
“W-what are you talking about? It sounds like nonsense.”
“Stop acting dumb. I know what’s going on.”
Yuugo glared sharply from under his helmet, as Avado still tried to pretend he was clueless.
Avado trembled, nervous about the pressure exuding from the black iron armor, and Yuugo spoke quietly.
“You stole my Blaster and swapped it for another one, right?”
