The first to react was Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.
It all happened in a flash. From the moment the incantation began, to Shizuka Hiratsuka opening the door, and then to the fire dragon being unleashed—it took only a few fleeting instants.
Ayanokoji had just recovered from his shock when the fire dragon was already lunging at his face.
His high-speed brain operated desperately under the crisis of death. In a thousandth of a second, he forced his body to lunge violently toward the desk beside the door...
Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind went blank.
She stared sluggishly as the lifelike, terrifying fire dragon roared, crossing dozens of meters in an instant to devour them.
Let alone her.
Even the students, who were mentally prepared, were dumbfounded.
Backlit by the sunlight, launching a fire dragon with a flick of a finger, combined with his tall stature and the gorgeous Onmyoji Kariginu—it was simply like a scene from a mythological scroll.
Holy crap!
Holy crap!
You said there would be fire, but you didn't say it would be this terrifying?!
Sensei, and you said you didn't know magic!!!
It was too horrifying.
From such a lifelike giant dragon, the heatwaves could be clearly felt.
No one was guessing what kind of trick it was anymore.
If anyone still guessed it was a trick now, they would be a moron.
If the students, who had already speculated and prepared themselves, were like this...
Then what could be said for Shizuka Hiratsuka and the old Principal?
They had no preparation whatsoever.
Their worldview was smashed directly in front of their faces.
At the moment when that hideous flaming giant dragon obscured all vision, Shizuka Hiratsuka's entire body went rigid.
Every cell screamed amidst the aura of death. She could only watch helplessly as she was about to be incinerated in this high temperature that God only knew how hot it was.
Mom, and that damn father... there's no time to say goodbye.
Time seemed to slow down. Many memories, painful or heartwarming, surged into her heart.
Just as the revolving lantern of life was flashing through Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind.
A sharp shout rang out!
"Are you in a rush to reincarnate?! Knock before entering the room!!"
The raging flames, which were already within touching distance, seemed to be suddenly yanked by an irresistible giant force in that instant, followed by a fling.
They were forcibly diverted by a small angle, whistling past Shizuka Hiratsuka's side, sweeping past the doorframe, and smashing ruthlessly against the outer wall of the corridor like a stream of water, leaving behind a patch of blazing high-temperature lava.
But it did not end there. The massive energy that melted into the wall like water was not yet vented.
Silence.
It was as if even sound had been swallowed by a black hole at this moment.
Immediately afterward, in everyone's gaze, that patch of lava wall collapsed inward, then suddenly erupted outward in a violent posture.
A mass of chaotic, twisted, expanding orange-red destructive energy took over the entire field of vision first, easily deconstructing, tearing apart, and tossing up everything within it—steel bars, concrete, air—as if they were a child's building blocks.
Only then did the roar and the shockwave, sweeping through everything around it in a violent posture, arrive. It brutally compressed eardrums, plunging the world into a strange state of soundlessness.
Hmm, people who are blown up directly by landmines would probably feel the same deep empathy before they die...
The next moment.
Churning glass powder, black ash of concrete, and scorching air surged in a perfect ring toward the surroundings, tearing open the doorframe and crushing toward the interior of the classroom.
There were no screams.
In the wild wind, all the students seemed frozen, staring blankly as they felt this gale, looking at the hideous gap with a diameter of over one meter that had been torn open on the corridor's outer wall...
Dead silence.
Reality had shattered...
A long time passed.
A long time.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, whose face was covered in dirt and who had bumped his head on the corner of the desk raising a lump, suddenly looked back, staring at that man in disbelief.
You were going to throw that thing at me just now?
Did I destroy the world in my past life?
This guy definitely wanted to kill me, right?
Roser: "...."
Could he say that he didn't know combining composite Magecraft with his little tricks would be this awesome?
Really, it was just a little gadget he deduced by spending a few Heavenly Dao Jades.
Originally, striking chemical agents with a fingernail would only produce a spark of seven or eight meters.
It was just a little trick for him to play the fool as a professional Onmyoji.
Aside from that, there was also powder made from "Magnesium ions above 2%... Flash stones... Egg fluid... Ether, Datura..." A snap of the fingers could make the opponent faint, as well as "little tricks" to create the muffled sound of thunder and electric arcs...
This was his confidence as the "Abe no Seimei of the Reiwa Era" in Shinjuku.
But they were just little parlor tricks to fool people...
As a result, combining it with his two basic Magecrafts directly produced a heavy artillery effect?
Within a range of at least several dozen meters, the power was truly comparable to heavy artillery, and its penetration was even stronger.
Looking at that hideous gap revealing the blue sky and white clouds, Roser muttered.
Sure enough, combining Science and Magecraft is the true path!
Of course, this was also because he had the Matrix helping to control, compress, and charge the power.
Otherwise, an ordinary person would only turn themselves into a big firework...
At this time.
"It really has... temperature..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka finally came back to her senses, blankly pressing her cold palm against her hot cheek, her voice frighteningly dry.
"It's real..."
She looked back blankly at the ground that presented a straight scorched path, and the gradually cooling concrete lava opposite it.
That dragon of flames wasn't an hallucination; it was real?
At this moment, she felt that her worldview of thirty years had been smashed to pieces by a club.
How could this be real...
She was still in a daze.
The elderly blonde Principal sat on the ground with a thud, his face pale, cold sweat pouring out, his clothes soaked through instantly.
Oh God, is the risk of not knocking in Japan so great?
Almost. He was almost hit by heavy artillery right in his own school.
If that thing wasn't heavy artillery, what was it?
Hehehe.
Fake. It's all fake.
But before he had time to go crazy.
He saw that charlatan—no, that Onmyoji Lord who exuded a suffocating oppressive sensation—walking over in large strides, his face dark. Carrying the lingering might of the fire dragon, his aura was powerful, suppressing their breathing until it stagnated.
It was as if they saw a gigantic phantom of a Demon God pressing down on them.
"Who let you in?!"
Hiss~~
This oppression—as expected of a true Onmyoji Lord?
The old Principal's head lowered on the spot. He was bowing and scraping, just about to speak.
"Hello, are you Teacher Roser? I am the homeroom teacher of Class 3, Shizuka Hiratsuka!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka had already stepped forward first, clasping Roser's hand with both of hers.
Her tone was intimate, her affinity extremely high, and her attitude enthusiastic.
The old Principal was dumbstruck.
Was this that Iron Fist Teacher Shizuka, who had a fiery temper, was upright and outspoken, and extremely protective of her students?
Shizuka Hiratsuka: Thanks. I'm just anxious, not stupid. Thanks.
After all, she was a functioning member of society.
And a member of Japanese society at that.
Being smooth and keeping a low profile were basic skills.
Roser complained in his heart: Who is this member of society? This isn't the Little Shizuka I want to see.
But on his face, there was only indifference.
"So, what are you here for?"
[Ding. Heavenly Dao Jades +1.9... +1.2... 0.3... +0.21... +0.18.....]
[Transcendence Element "Magecraft" completion 0.8%.]
[Fundamental Magecraft "Gate of the Left" construction successful. Magecraft completion +0.012%.]
[Fundamental Magecraft "Aria of Blazing Fire" construction successful. Magecraft completion +0.012%.]
One wave...
The Heavenly Dao Jades skyrocketed by a full eight orbs, and the Magecraft system completion directly exceeded one percent.
The Four Great Foundations of Magecraft (Ritual) were basically confirmed.
A huge profit.
