194: Come at Me, All Three of You

“Ha, this is incredible!”

The next day, while I was being tutored in Flight Magic, I felt like I’d finally gotten the hang of it.

Well, “gotten the hang of it” might have been a bit of a stretch—it was still pretty shaky, and I felt like I could plummet at any second. Even so, my success rate had shot up significantly.

At this rate... I might actually be able to take down those shitty Demon Race bastards.

I never wanted to put on such a pathetic display ever again. Seriously, once was enough to die of embarrassment.

“Alright. Carta, Cynthia, Lilith—the three of you, come at me all at once.”

We were in the mansion's courtyard. At my sudden demand, the three of them exchanged surprised glances.

“I-I mean, if you’re sure...”

“Weiss, you’re going to get hurt. We aren’t exactly pushovers, you know.”

“I’m not really sure about this either, but...”

“Don’t sweat it,” I said, a smirk tugging at my lips. “I’m not about to lose to the likes of you girls.”

At my blatant provocation, their cheeks twitched in unison.

They spent practically all year competing with each other, so they were naturally a bit touchy about the whole “who’s stronger” conversation. Even the usually mild-mannered Carta was already slipping into battle mode.

Ha, I love it. I’m almost nostalgic for the little wimp you used to be... though the current version is definitely scarier.

I took a few steps back and drew a deep breath.

When I’d fought the Demon Race, I’d realized I had to account for multiple opponents at once. Expecting a fair one-on-one fight was just wishful thinking—the kind of luck I usually lacked. I had to be able to win even when I was outnumbered.

These girls were terrifyingly strong. I knew that better than anyone, and honestly, the sheer pressure they were emitting was a little daunting. But they were walls I absolutely had to scale.

I wasn't going to hold anything back from the jump.

“Bring it on!”

They must have felt the full weight of my Mana. Without a word, each of them let their own power surge to the surface.
