　It happened while Rex was walking down the hallway of the school building with his subordinates. While searching for artifacts, they were suddenly attacked by a strange phenomenon.

　Rex's subordinates walking in front of him suddenly disappeared in front of him.

"Hah?"

　Rex looking around, not knowing what happened. But there are no suspicious shadows nearby. Speaking of clues, I heard something that cut through the air.

　Shun, shun, and the sound of tearing the air can be heard.

　And then.

"...!"

　The subordinate next to Rex suddenly disappeared.

　But this time he could barely see it.

　A boy in a bloody school uniform. The boy surprised my subordinate with his palm and carried him away. While I strengthened my vision to its limit, concentrated, and finally I could see it, such early work.

"Be careful, it's the enemy!"

　Rex shouts and warns his surroundings.

"Ah?"

　Then, suddenly, he stood still. The subordinates who should have been behind him were nowhere to be seen.

　Before he knew it, Rex was alone in this long corridor.

　And then Shun...

　As soon as he heard that voice, Rex did everything in his power to protect his heart.

"Goo...!"

　An enormous force slams into Rex's arm.

　Baki, and.

　Rex was blown backwards with an unpleasant cracking sound.

"Kuh... Fucker!!"

　However, he immediately regained his posture and pulled out his sword. But no one was there anymore. Rex clicked his tongue. With just one hit, the left arm that was protected by magic was broken.

　If the guards didn't come in time, the heart would definitely break without a doubt.

　Shun.

　This time Rex moved at the same time as the sound.

　He swing his sword at the presence behind him just by intuition. The timing was right.

　However.

　This boy... he's still accelerating!

　Rex's sword swings behind the boy. Rex immediately protected only his heart.

"Aga...!"

　But he lose his ribs. Rex followed the boy with his eyes while flying backwards and killing his momentum. However, it was difficult to see even the afterimage.

"Tsk..."

　Rex spat out blood and took a standing position. It was hard to see the enemy, impossible to counterattack, and it only hurt one-sidedly.

　From an objective point of view, this is the worst predicament.

　But... he passed this level of difficulty many times.

　He is Rex, the named children.

"It looks like you are using an artifact with good performance."
