"You're out of your damn mind!"
"What is?"
Cale's voice sounded calm.
Sword master Hannah couldn't help but rub her arm. Her arm was full of goose bumps.
'...I always have this question, but what is the end for this guy?'
Hannah could see Cale smiling while looking at the barrier being created between the Lion Dragon and their allies through the window.
How many steps in advance was this guy looking at?
Where were these thoughts and demeanor coming from despite being just twenty years old?
"Ha!"
Hannah looked toward Cale with disbelief.
"Did you just say, 'what is'? Can you not think straight because of anger?!"
Shaaaaaaaaaaa-
Wind slowly gathered around the White Star and wrapped around him. His clothes started to flutter intensely.
"You're going to take on the Lion Dragon and me without being able to use any magic?"
The wind filled the area around them.
Chhh-
The magic lights had turned off already because of the mana disturbance tool. Now, the candles lighting up the room also went out because of the White Star's breeze.
It wasn't completely dark because the sky was still partially orange from the sunset, but... Darkness was hitting this room quicker than the outside.
The White Star laughed as he spoke.
"Inside this darkness?"
'They're going to take on the Lion Dragon and me in this darkness? The now complete me? While I am holding their weakness, Deruth Henituse?'
"You are an idiot."
The White Star sighed.
"Cale Henituse. You truly are different from me. You are foolish."
Why was he saying that Cale was foolish?
Sword master Hannah couldn't help but have that thought as she watched.
The White Star and Cale Henituse... These two existences were extremely different in Hannah's eyes. So why was the White Star saying that the two of them were very similar but different in the end? Why did he sound disappointed as he said that?
Hannah subconsciously turned toward Cale.
Cale started to speak at that moment.
"Why am I doing this?"
Cale calmly answered inside the room that was dark blue and not completely submerged in darkness yet.
"There's just two."
His calm yet enunciated voice spread throughout the room inside the darkness.
"There are only two enemies to fight. One bastard is white and so big that it is easy to see. The other bastard is in front of my eyes."
A flame crackled in the darkness.
Crackle-
A flame that was redder than his red hair started to appear around Cale.
"That much is doable, even if I am out of my mind."
Wind and fire...
The wind had only put out small candles and these flames were not burning anything, but... The two people, surrounded by wind and fire respectively, were observing each other.
