Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

The sound

　The sound of one of the guards retreating is signal, and  they  jump out of the way as if  they  been shot.

　　There was a high-pitched clang, and Felix's  great sword slashed fiercely against my magic -covered knife.

"You're pretty good for a kid!　Are you really  just kid?"

"I am just kid . ......!

　From  his pint of view  , I release a shockwave at his feet, causing him to step away and  get distance 

"It's been a while since I've been hit by someone this strong. Hey,  fake merchant. Can I  kill him ?"

"Who is this fake merchant? You can't kill him. He' will a valuable hostage of  mine .

"Ahh!　This is such a  nice  fight, but I can't   hold back !　Die!

"This is why adventurer-battle junkies ......"

"What are you talking about?"

　I was a little pissed off that he was ignoring me, so I fired a few shock  bullets at the fake merchant and Felix .

"What the hell is that?　What's that? I've never seen  such thing before.

"......!"

　But Felix, of course, was able to block them. This guy saw through my impact bullet at first sight and cut it down.And the one I fired at the fake merchant,  as measure.

"You can't prevent it  in one  go . ..

　It seems that he is not just an A+ rank. His magic power itself is not that great, but his swordsmanship is outstanding. If it's just swordsmanship, he might be stronger than my dad.

"I  have two names  first one  is 'Wind Slayer'. My second name is 'Kazekiri ,  because I can cut even the wind. Remember that. You are going to die soon, though."

"Then I'll   tell you something  too. I don't have a second name yet, but I'm the one who will eventually succeed the North General."

"The next North General. There is no shortage of opponents. It's just a shame  you are  too young."

"...... What are you talking about? Hurry up and take him down!　I don't care if you have a limb or two!

"Your true colors are showing, fake merchant."

　The shocking bullet that just hit him must have scared  him. The fake merchant forgot his condescending tone and gave Felix a foul-mouthed order.

　In fact, if Felix hadn't  help him , the fake merchant would have been dead. It was a desperate move.

"My employer' is angry ," he said. . Next time, I'll be serious."

"I'm not afraid  of you "

It's my eighteenth [shock] after all. The Hokushobu Shinryu is also  good , but my skill level still lackss Then, the only  thing i can rely on is the saturation attack of [shock] that  you a huge amount of magical power. Beyond the limit of Felix's ability  so i can  handle him ,with a huge  firepower

"Die, kid!""

"You're going to end up in a piggy bank!"

　Felix closed the distance with terrifying acceleration. Fe I can't seem to break  his stance. It's too dangerous  if things stay like this. Then.

"Shock barrage!"

With both of my hands outstretched, I fire a series of "shock bullets" with such fury that  it  look like  a machine guns.

"It's so fucking annoying !　I'll be back!

　I can't attack the fake merchant, so I direct all my  power  on Felix and attack with everything I've got. Each of the "shock bullet " had the power of a 35 mm machine gun, but Felix was   nor harmed by dozens of them.

"Oh, my God!"

　The  great sword that he is using is also a very powerful one, and it seems that even after such an impact, the blade does not  even   damaged a little.

　...... I thought about destroying the weapon, but at this rate, I'd be cut down before  his weapon reached its limit.

". I'm getting used to it.

　It was no longer a barrage of bullets  and Felix had cut through it all ,  and was approaching me step by step.

　It's no use. I'll have to use that. I wanted not to use it  but ......, if I  things stay like  this, O  will lose sooner or later. 

　Realizing that the odds were stacked against me, I decided to devote a little of my  magic to my feet,  gaining some distance between me and Felix  and thn  I  activating a new  spell that   I recently developed.

"(...... 'Minefield'!)"

"Gah!

　"Minefield". It's spell in which a shockwave released from  my feet travels through the ground and explodes in the distance. It's not a  spell that directly impacts the enemy, so it's not very powerful, but it's a great spell to break enemy stance .

"Bursting Impact Bullet!"

　The next  my spell is the newly developed "Bursting Impact Bullet," which explodes just before hitting the enemy, making it impossible to physically cut them down. This  spell is slightly less powerful than a direct hit with a normal impact bullet, but chance of get damage is higher .

"Aaah!"

　It seems that the  attack went through. It seems that no matter how much speed have slayer Felix is, it was difficult for him to literally slice through the blast. It seems that his second name  "Kazekiri " was an exaggeration.

　But that didn't take him down  He stood up with a crazy smile on his face, bleeding from all over his body.

　...... What a troublesome enemy 

　Felix stood up slowly and ran toward me, crawling along the ground, keeping a low profile.

"Fast!"

　It was an attack that exploited the gaps in his consciousness. I couldn't catch up with him.

"Die!"

　Felix had been saying nothing but "die" since a while ago. I don't think he has much of a vocabulary.

"I am  six years old. I can't die!"

　We get into melee combat, but his weapon a long, two-handed  great  sword  then he is swung with both hands. On the other hand, my weapon is a small knife  that covered with magic and an unlimited distance  If I wil get in his range I  won't l win !

"Storm dance rambles!"　"Blink  the enemy" 　"Crucifixion!"

　The "Storm Dance" is a series of attacks like a dancing storm, where the magic power flows through the nerves of the entire body, raising the reflexes and exceeding the reaction speed  of  user  to attack oponent  Then, after Felix was knocked off his stance by the Storm Dance, I cast  the Blink of an Eye to get him out of his defensive stance. And finally, I striked  Felix's empty hand with a Crucifixion

"Aah!

　But even after that, Felix didn't let go of his weapon

　I could barely keep the barrier in place, but I was blown away several dozen meters.

　While being blown over the city I adjusted my stance and landed softly while releasing a few shockwaves. ......

　Even for a child, a strike that blows a 20 kg body dozens of meters away is terrifying. If this had been a direct hit , I would have been cut in half above and below my torso for sure.

"...... is that the Bushin-ryu? It's hard to beat!"

　Felix, who had chased after me after I was blown away, said with a fierce smile, but it was only "hard to  del with ". He's better than me, that's for sure.

"......A+ rank. opennet  It's  harder than I thought."

　I'm not sure if we're evenly matched or if he's better. So far, I've been able to get  advance  over  him, but that's only because I've been able to push him around  with a lot of magic power.

　It's probably the case that   out abilities are almost the same. In fact, as an all-rounder with short- to long-range attack methods, I have a slight advantage over Felix, who specializes in short-range attacks.

　However, I haven't been able to beat him. I don't have enough experience in actual combat.

"You so a talent t it's oo  shame  to kill you . But the  good feeling is when  I nip such young talent in the bud."

"......, you battle junkie."

　I cursed him, but I couldn't think of a way to shut him up. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up, though I still have some magic left.

I didn't know  how much pressure I'll be under in the fight for ...... my life.

　I was muttering to myself inwardly, "It's not easy being the next "Northern General" when  I experience the tension of the  fight for live at the age of six.

...... Now, how do I get out of this situation?
