[Those masks that Reya is using is an artificial Sacred Gear that can be used for searching for the enemy, gathering information, and to act as a shield.] Kaichou gives an explanation like that. Oh, it feels like I can fly around the battlefield while feeling safe! More than that, the members of the Sitri-group have quite the variety of abilities! [Ise-kun, please transfer your powers to Tsubaki this time!] I received the next order! I went flying towards Shinra-senpai! –But a giant mass of ice which takes up one third of this field gets released from the enemy’s side! When I saw the mirror that Shinra-senpai has activated, I understood what our next move will be. —A counter! Shinra-senpai’s Sacred Gear can return the attack received by the enemy with double of its impact! [An enhancement of a counter. By having the power of Sekiryuutei added, it can even counter back that magical attack!] I transfer my power to Shinra-senpai just like Kaichou commanded! The mirror of her Sacred Gear makes a glow, and changes its size enormously! [Tsubaki! Please counter it back to them with an impact which won’t affect this basement!] “Yes, Kaichou!”
The huge iceberg collides with the mirror which has now become bigger! A huge explosive sound echoes throughout the battlefield, but the destructive power of the ice returns back to the magicians right away! The mass of ice that has been shattered falls on top of the enemy’s formation by turning into large fragments! “Shit! The ice!”
“It’s useless! They are piercing through the magical defence because the power has increased from the Sacred Gear’s ability!”
There are many screams from the magicians. All the fragments of ice falling down on them have Shinra-senpai’s Sacred Gear ability applied onto it and the attack power of it has been increased. The group of magicians are basically annihilated after receiving the counter attack just now. Many of them have been blown away towards the wall and floor, and they have become unconscious. “Kaichou, it’s completed!”
Saji shouts! What’s appearing from his right arm is a thick line. [Well done, Saji. Connect it to Ise-kun, and scatter them!] Just like how Kaichou orders him, Saji throws the line at me. It attaches to my gauntlet, but what is he going to connect it with? The line connected to my gauntlet gets disconnected from Saji. “Scatter!”
It responds just like Saji orders, and thick line scatters into many lines! More than a dozen lines twitch as if they are alive, and spread to every direction as if finding something to attach themselves to! The direction where the lines head towards to is—all of my comrades in our formation! They connect with each and every one of them, and my gauntlet is connected to everyone through the lines! Kaichou then says. [With this, Ise-kun’s power to transfer can be passed to everyone through the lines. Ise-kun, please step back to the rear. Your last job is to transfer your powers to everyone once you have doubled your own powers.] Gift using the line! T-This certainly will be easy! Since I’m connected to them, I don’t have to move around anymore! Once I have finished doubling my power, I just have to flow it into them. It’s alright for me to step back now! Kaichou continues. [It would have been better if we used this method from the start……but it took time to make sure the line will be strong enough to receive the power of the Sekiryuutei, who is also going through evolution. If we make an unreliable line, there will be nothing left if your power explodes while transferring to everyone. The strength of the line has been shown when you transferred your powers to the line when it was connected to Rossweisse-san and the magicians. And the only thing left was to make enough lines for everyone in our group.] —Kaichou is coming to understand the way to use my powers! I became speechless, and Kaichou says it to me with a bright voice. [The compatibility between Ise-kun and Saji is too good. It was really fun building tactics for it.] Sona-kaichou, you are very reliable when you are on our side! [Looks like it is our win for the first battle.] Just like Kaichou says, the magicians are almost annihilated with the first battle against us. “You will be okay with this!”
“Thank you very much, Argento-senpai.”
Asia who has finished healing Nimura-san starts to heal the next person! The battle is overwhelmingly in our favour. You can count the numbers of enemies who are still standing, and since we are at an advantage we are moving into a phase where our injured comrades are getting healed. I was standing at the rear after that. I doubled my power while being in safety, and have transferred my powers through the lines. “Let’s go, Irina!”
“Yeah!”
Xenovia and Irina who are the vanguards aren’t flinching even with their wounds, and are continuing to go on a rampage. The magicians can’t stop Xenovia who has learned how to use the traits of her holy-sword. Irina is also fighting very well with her holy-demonic sword. From the strength of the wielder of that holy-demonic sword, it can have attributes added to it, just like Kiba. Maybe it’s because Irina has come to master using it because she has been training with us, so she has attributes like fire, ice, lightning, and such added on to her holy-demonic sword, and now she is fighting advantageously against the magicians’ magic. “Ara ara, even I strengthened many of my traits.”
“Well, this is still nothing.”
Then Akeno-san’s demonic-power attack and Rossweisse-san’s magical attack hits! An enormous explosion and bomb blast occurs, and it blasts away the defence magic-circle and defence-type Golems! “Leave the defence to me!”
[Rook] Yura of the Student Council also uses that shield-type artificial Sacred Gear, and she is protecting her comrades by defending them from the enemies’ attacks! That shield can be released towards the enemies while spinning like a yo-yo. During then, it’s also possible to have fire and lightning appear from the shield to do attacks with attributes. A yo-yo which has fire and lightning surrounding it! Kaichou who has been looking at this then mutters. [……I see, no wonder I thought Rias’s tactics were naïve. The opponents we are fighting right now are a group of magicians who are stronger than average magicians……]
Kaichou breathes out. [Gremory-group is too powerful. I came to realise this once again by commanding them. Rather than giving orders, your group is powerful enough where all of you can just charge forward. And normally, you who is in Balance-Breaker state and Kiba-kun will be added to them, so it makes me think you don’t need tactics. It can’t be helped if Rias starts to think that it will be better to just charge forward.] I’m sorry! For being a muscle-brain team! Yes, we have been using simple power to charge forward! I thought we have become a bit better after learning some techniques, but it seems like it turned into a super-power team that knows some techniques!
