"Whew!"

As if falling from the sky, the heavy chair swirled and smashed in the direction of Imari with a dull sound of wind.

Imari, who was still immersed in the shock of Noah's victory over a teacher from the transcendent with the power of an ordinary human, was unable to react at all, and could only stand there stupidly, watching the heavy chair smash against him.

Just when Imari was about to close his eyes, such a voice sounded over the entire auditorium.

"Blaze---!"

Brilliant flames with crimson flames illuminated every corner of the entire auditorium.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a gunshot echoed from the students who were present, which they could only hear on television.

A pitch-black bullet that broke through the air with a long tail of light, like an extremely small meteor, swept towards the chair that smashed into Imari with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"Bang---!"

The heavy chair suddenly exploded as if it had exploded, scattering into debris and dust, and falling to the ground.

Imari subconsciously raised his hand to block the gust of wind that had spread from the explosion of the chair, and then opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the gunshots with everyone in the auditorium.

Immediately, everyone present saw it.

I saw a weapon in Noah's hand that wasn't supposed to be here.

"Whew!"

Perhaps because he was too eager to use it, the flames he brought up when he called for Blaze were still undulating on the weapon Noah was holding. It was a moment before it dissipated with a burning sound, exposing the flamed weapon to the air.

It was a gun.

It is not a cold weapon spear used for hand-to-hand combat. Rather, a pistol.

A gun has a long body like an automatic pistol, measuring a whopping eight inches in length. Behind the barrel carried the nest of the revolver, and it was clear that a modified large-caliber revolver.

The pitch-black body of the gun spread with white lines like veins of tree roots, and the blaze of the revolver was held tightly in Noah's hand, aiming at the high air in front of Imari, and there was no need to think about it to know who the person who had just defused the danger for Imari was.

However, everyone present had long forgotten about the chair, and even Imari had forgotten about the danger he had just encountered. Some lost their voices.

"Guns?"

It's no wonder Imari and the students around him were so surprised.

This is because the blaze, which is the embodiment of the soul, cannot be a pistol.

Perhaps it is because the human soul itself is a very simple existence, and the blaze of the transcendents are also weapons with a very simple structure.

A thermal weapon with such a complex structure as a gun is unlikely to be on the blaze list.

Noah also knew this, and he was a little nervous to hang down his hand holding the gun, and hid the revolver behind him as if he didn't want to be noticed.

However, behind Noah, standing on the podium, the ninety-ninth night was staring at the revolver in Noah's hand. Said word by word.

"You seem to be an exception."

Exception.

Exceptions are made beyond the norm.

Outside of the norm. The exception is this.

Possessed blaze, which is not normally possible.

So, Noah, is the exception.

Noah was silent about this, and the revolver in his hand turned into a flash of flame and disappeared on the spot.

Then, Noah stopped and walked out of the auditorium step by step in the silence of the audience.

Noah didn't find out.

Though. Everyone in the audience watched him leave, but there were three people whose eyes were different from others. There is not only surprise in it, but also other extremely complicated feelings.

One. It was the ninety-ninth night standing on the podium.

One, a brown-haired teenager standing in the corner.

The other is the silver-haired girl who grabbed everyone's attention as soon as she entered, like a doll.

……

Walking out of the auditorium, Noah raised his hand and looked at his hand under the sky full of cherry blossoms, his brow furrowed deeply.

It was said on the night of the Ninety-ninth that the blaze is a weapon of the soul, which can only inflict a blow on the human spirit, and will not harm the human body.

However, Daisuke's finger tiger can smash the chair to pieces, and Noah's revolver can also shoot the chair, both of which can destroy the material chair.

Since blaze can destroy chairs, it should also be able to cause damage to people's bodies, right?

However, on the night of the ninety-ninth year, it is said that blaze can only cause mental damage.

This is obviously a lie, right?

Thinking of this, Noah couldn't help but shake his head.

No way.

It is impossible for the night of the ninety-ninth year to spread such a panic that is so easy to see.

After all, as long as the students in the auditorium were allowed to duel according to the etiquette of qualifications, then this panic would be instantly exposed.

Therefore, Noah felt that what he said on the night of ninety-nine should not be a lie.

It's just that blaze should have other secrets as well.

At the very least, Noah felt that the knight's sword and revolver, which had become part of his soul, seemed to have undergone some changes.

What exactly has changed, Noah doesn't know yet, but in terms of appearance, his revolver has changed slightly.

On the body of the gun, there are more white lines like those veins.

Moreover, Noah's revolver does not need to be reloaded.

As long as the mental power is turned into bullets and filled with the revolver made of the soul, Noah's revolver can shoot all the time!

In other words, Noah's shortcomings in the small number of bullets have been completely compensated!

Of course, in addition to this, the revolver had another drawback.

Looking closely, Noah's raised hand was shaking frequently, making Noah laugh bitterly.

"I almost forgot, because the weight and recoil of this gun have been strengthened after the power enhancement, and you need a certain amount of arm strength to use it."

It is precisely because of this that Noah, who shot with the strength of an ordinary person's arm, almost did not shake his hand so that his skin was broken and his bones were misaligned.

Noah, who had secretly screamed carelessly in his heart, just wanted to leave, when a voice sounded eagerly.

"Wait!"

In the auditorium, Imari ran out quickly, and when Noah turned around, he had already run in front of Noah, and then he slowed down and met Noah's gaze, but as a result, he couldn't say a word.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Imari's complicated face, Noah smiled helplessly.

"Don't you have to do the qualification ceremony?"

"The chairman said that you, as my opponent, have abstained, so I am qualified." Imari lowered his head, and then raised it vigorously, his beautiful eyes flashing with a look of unstubbornness.

"You chose to give up because of me, right?"

Noah, who clearly saw the unstubborn look in Imari's eyes, subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but under Imaris's gaze, he couldn't help but dispel his thoughts and sighed.

"Isn't that important?"

"It may not be important to you, but it is very important to me." Imari took a deep breath and grimaced.

"I have something I want to do no matter what, so, I have to stay here!"

"Really?" Noah shrugged his shoulders.

"Aren't you there now?"

"But that's something that has been achieved by stepping on someone else's path." Imari's voice was a little muffled.

"Even if you don't think it matters, there's still no way I don't care."

"Then you should cheer yourself up." Seeing the resolute look on Imaris's face turn into pain, Noah couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

"Otherwise, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?"

Imari's lips opened slightly, and after a moment, she pursed them again and replaced them with a smile.

"I'm sorry, and thank you."

"Huh." Noah chuckled and nodded.

"Come on."

This is the end of the conversation.

And just then, another voice interjected.

"Can you give me a little time to talk to you?"

With such a sentence coming out, at the entrance of the auditorium, the girl covered in darkness walked towards this side step by step with slender steps. (To be continued)
