Night at a forest, I, Yui, and Futaba were facing a variant.
The variant we’re facing is about 3 meters tall.
His face was that of a greek looking man with bushy beard as seen in sculptures. His only equipment was a piece of cloth wrapped around his body.
The “organization” calls him Gigas.
It’s the name of a giant in Greek mythology.
「Haaaaa!」
Yui’s flying kick aimed at the head was blocked with a crossed arm by the gigas.
The blow that has the power of her activated divine object made a sound like that of a sharpened pencil and only created a deep gash in its arm.
「Kuh……..darn! This guy is hard!」
Yui said so bitterly as she jumped back.
「Does this thing often come out these days? This Greek faced giant?」
Futaba, who’s receiving magic power from me to maintain her divine domain, is tilting her head.
「I guess this is the first time Futaba came with us since the final exam period. Yeah, they’ve been suddenly showing a lot lately.」
The closing ceremony is tomorrow and the summer vacation starts the day after tomorrow.
Of course, right before that, there was a final exam.
Yui and I, who had time to spare, continued to hunt for variants while Futaba concentrated on her studies.
Futaba’s grades were not bad but she was not superb like Yui, nor was she able to use memory magic like me.
For the future, there is nothing better than getting a good score on exam.
「It seems to be the Japanese equivalent of an oni, or the Nordic equivalent of the dark Valkyrie but we can’t be too sure if they came from Greece. They might have come from Italy.」
「I’m just saying that it looks like a Greek sculpture. According to Yui, they are of Greek descent.」
「It exactly look like that.」
While Futaba and I were discussing this, Yui was still fighting.
The challenge this time is not to use special techniques.
Inevitably, the use of big techniques, which require a momentary pause, requires a lot of magic power which makes it limited to use in certain situations.
For example, opponents of the same type who would take time to beat.
For such a situation, I want her to practice fighting methods rather than one hit kills.
By the way, the definition of “special techniques” is a big move that uses magic power.
It’s just a word that we use because it is convenient for communication.
—dogaaa!
As the gigas hit the ground, a large amount of soil and sand rolled up, creating a crater of around 5 meters in diameter.
The surrounding trees slowly fell too.
Yui is already leaping toward the gigas’ head.
She put her legs around its head and pressed the crotch of her black tights against the gigas’ face.
As it was, she used the momentum of her upper body to swing down to the ground and the magic power emitted from the divine object acted like a booster to slam the gigas’ head to the ground.
It’s called frankensteiner.
The moment she slammed it down, she cut the gigas heads off as an added bonus.
It’s a move I’d like to try if I can get to the point of jumping like that.
「You can use it!」
This is the signal to use her special technique.
She can’t finish off the gigas without a high powered attack.
「Got it!」
Yui jumped up and concentrated her magic power on one leg in mid air.
As it was, it came down at high speed on the gigas’ back as it rolled to the ground.
—dogaaa!
The blow shattered the gigas into pieces, creating a crater larger than the one earlier.
「What do you think? That’s the kick that the gym uniformed bishoujo warrior, Usako-chan, used to do. Or the masked rider kick, or the gambit star’s thunderbolt kick.」
Yui returned, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand.
「Your analogy stuff is too jam packed but you’re getting stronger.」
I can’t really scold her for that since I imagined it like that before.
「Ehehe. Thanks. I’ll do my best to catch up with Kazu!」
When she made a guts pose with both hands, her arms were naturally placed in a pose that makes her chest stick out.
Unlike Watanabe, she does it without realizing it, making me a little nervous.
「Even so we’ve been seeing too many gigas lately.」
「Does Yui need to care about that?」
「Yeah. Greek mythology types have never showed up in Japan before but now, they’re popping out like mushrooms…..」
Yui looks anxious but I have a bad feeling about it as well.
