chapter 4

Natsuru, who is she?

T-i-t-a-n-i-a

"Right you are, Natsuru. I'm Titania."

That's not Titania. She would never say that. That must be leader.

Who is leader?

Leader is the one who commands all of the people here. There are most likely over 600 people here now. When I left, there were about 550 or 600. There would definitely be more now.

The girl rushed at us and as she did so, created a red crystal knife in her hands. Of course she had make magic. Because out of all of the 386 types of magic, she had to have make magic. I shoved natsuru out of the way and turned to the left to dodge her attack. James and al had made a temporary light shield. James had given Al her energy to create the shield. Unfortunately, if James kept doing that for too long, she would burn out. James doesn't have as much magical energy as me and al While they were doing that, I Talked to Natsuru

Who is she?

She was my sister. We left the tower but she was captured and told me to run. And, like a complete idiot, i Iistened. But that's not her. She could never run that fast. She would never say that.

Suddenly, the girl shattered the shield and shoved james out of the way. She was stronger than she looked and clearly wasn't going to go down easily. She came at me again and sliced my arm so that I couldn't move it. But, as she moved her arm back, she left her side completely open. She was clearly not skilled in fighting techniques and was never trained. I took the throwing knife out of my belt and threw it at her side. The knife clattered to the ground. And didn't leave a scratch. There was a grey layer of something where the knife should have hit.

"Hahahahaha!! You really are an idiot! You can't kill me! I'm still human, but i have the ultimate defence!" the ultimate defence, a grey impenetrable shield, and, still a mortal human body. Natsuru put his hands together and shot 3 enourmous sticks of wood towards her. He had wood make magic. That was something that i never expected. The girl dodged one but then got hit with one of them and natsuru curved the stick of wood to cover and trap her.

"Al! I might have a way to get that shield off! You need to keep her still!"

Natsuru! Get more wood beams on top of her!

Yes, Robin

If she had a normal human body, then the shield had to be made of something. That wasn't make magic as make magic is red, and no other magic in the world can be that grey and hard. That had to be alchemy. However, the law of equivalent exchange would still apply. What was the component that was the strongest in the human body? Then, Al and Natsuru had her still, I could get to her. As I was running forward, I scratched a circle into my hand with my knife. I'd need to bandage that later. That was the sucky thing about healing magic. You can't heal yourself. I came closer to her, and as she saw that, she regenerated the shield. I threw my arm forward, and used my horrible excuse of alchemy to destroy parts of the shield. As I destroyed it, I threw my knife into her side. She was bleeding heavily and natsuru loosened the wood beams because he thought she wouldn't be able to move. As he did, Titania used her make magic to get out of the holds.

"Very... good, robin... nobody has ever... done that... before. How... how did you do it?"

"You made one mistake. You told me that you still had a human body. Make magic can only make red crystal. Not grey. Any other magic can't make grey either. You would have had to use alchemy. The rules of alchemy and equivalent exchange still apply. And, what's the strongest component of the human body? Calcium. Or, that's what you used to make the shield, anyway."
