A great roar rang out as sparks bridged between the wings of the "angel" as if they were about to overflow.
"Hah hah!!"
Vento of the Front used a single hand to jab her giant hammer toward Kamijou.
In response, Kamijou swung his clenched right fist at Vento with all his strength.
He heard the sound of something slicing through the air.
It did not come from Vento swinging her hammer.
It was the sound of Vento jumping three meters straight up into the air.
She had not dodged down or to either side; she had dodged straight up.
She had likely used some form of magic that used the air.
After Kamijou's fist flew through empty air, his face was mercilessly struck by a flying kick counter. With a dull sound, he was knocked to the wet asphalt.
(Ghah!? She…!!)
Kamijou frantically sat up as he held his nose.
Vento stood directly in front of him.
She swung up her hammer and then forcefully swung it down toward where Kamijou sat on the road.
Kamijou heard the scraping sound of the chain.
The chain was wet with red blood and it was creating a spiral spear aimed for his face.
A wind weapon appeared along that shape.
"Gwahh!!" shouted Kamijou as he held out his right hand.
He deflected Vento's attack and a storm of air erupted around him. The direction of the rain was greatly changed for just a few seconds.
But neither of them was watching the rain.
"Hh!!"
Vento sucked in some air and swung her hammer with all her might once more. The tongue chain wriggled like a living creature. Kamijou gave up trying to block it with his right hand and rolled backwards to evade it. He would never gain the upper hand if he only relied on Imagine Breaker. He used the momentum of his roll to move back even further and then stood up from the ground.
The air weapon stabbed into the ground instead of him. Fragments of the asphalt flew through the air.
As Kamijou used both arms to protect his face from the storm of rocks, he heard Vento's painful voice.
"Cough… Shit. The output really has dropped…" She coughed up blood and glared at the angel behind Kamijou. Vento raised her voice while shaking the bloody chain. "Ha ha. This has been a real pain in the ass!! You've got that disgusting right arm and you're covering for that angel that makes me want to vomit. Just how much do you want to make me laugh!?"
"Don't joke around!! Do you think your viewpoint is the only one there is!? Why the hell don't you try to accept others!?"
Vento charged through the storm of rocks and straight for Kamijou.
Oddly, the asphalt never once hit her. It almost looked like it was moving out of her way. Kamijou guessed this was another type of air magic.
She swung her hammer around while shouting.
And red blood leaked from between her teeth all the while.
"I hate science! I loathe science!!"
Just as Kamijou was about to knock down the hammer with his right hand, the hammer suddenly disappeared into thin air. Kamijou's fist sliced through the air and then Vento produced the hammer in her hand once more.
Vento pressed the head of the hammer against Kamijou's defenseless gut.
The tongue chain wrapped around the hammer's handle.
"I hate science for doing this to me!"
In the next instant, a wind weapon shot from the end of the hammer.
Kamijou immediately twisted his body to the side, but the blunt weapon still grazed his side. That was all it took for his body to spin around like a bamboo copter. He had no chance of making a proper landing and he slammed into a crumbling wall.
"I loathe science for letting my brother die!!"
Vento swung her hammer around even more while shouting things Kamijou did not understand. Despite how tightly the chain had been wrapped around the handle, it had already been removed. She created a wind weapon which shot toward Kamijou. He had his back pressed up against a wall, so he leaped to the side to avoid it.
The building wall was smashed to pieces like a toy.
That power sent a chill down Kamijou's spine, but then he suddenly froze.
A college aged man was lying on the other side of the destroyed wall.
"Wai-…!!"
Kamijou tried to stop her, but…
A great roar drowned out his voice.
It came from the sparks produced by the angel's wings.
It quickly surpassed the level of a roar and became something similar to a shockwave.
"!!"
The vibration was so great that Kamijou covered his ears and grimaced in pain. He looked away from Vento and turned around. The sparks bridging between Kazakiri's wings had finally surpassed their limit and been released.
Something burst out that exceeded the realm of sound.
Its path resembled a snake as it shot outside of Academy City in an instant. Despite striking a point far enough away to be hidden by the horizon, the wave of soil that was blown into the sky was still visible in the distance.
The angel had likely fired another attack to defeat her enemies.
(Shit…)
Pain pounded in his head.
He knew he had to defeat Vento soon or others would become wrapped up in this, but he could not move his body properly.
Meanwhile, Vento's expression was one of someone who was not bothered by the pain.
"This is what science does!! And you're one of them! Don't you find it disgusting!?"
As blood continued to flow from her mouth, Vento used all of her strength to swing her hammer around. She aimed using the tongue piercing and smashed the concrete to pieces with an especially big wind weapon.
She was intentionally attacking the unrelated person there.
