Chapter 51: And then they Attack

The second power is much easier. It was to feel the darkness and materialize the light that is nonexistent on it. I just needed to stay in a dark place where I can't see a single shred of light. Seeing one would reset the progress. It was quite easy for me since there was an attic in this house and it was dark enough if you decided to put out the lights on your attic, you can't see a single thing in there. When I mastered it, Blue once again started to go wild.

"WHAT THE HECK!? YOU ALSO MASTERED LIGHT BLAST WITHOUT ANY RETRIES? ARE YOU ON STIMULANTS?!"

"Stop shouting, it was easy anyways. It just needed a little bit of understanding and following of steps and that's it. I don't understand the logic of you saying that it needs a lot of days mastering it."

"Ah, damn, I gave up. The ridiculous part of you is that you can learn magic in an insane amount of short time you can get. It is just something I haven't heard about in my entire time."

I sighed after the outburst of Blue. Although what she said is quite ridiculous for me, I don't think she is lying. What she said might be true to all the magicians but I don't know why her reasoning on how fast I learn magic is something impossible.

...

The next day, I prepared a little number of items in my bag. With the upcoming event of demons appearing is making me a bit troubled. If I want to prepare for the worst, then I should be bringing the least items. That way, I won't regret losing a little bit amount of items in case they would attack.

"Blue, will the lockdown occur today?" I asked the voice inside the app.

"Yes, according to the info, the 12 magic councilors already went to the 12 points of Tokyo to prepare for the lockdown. It will occur around-"

Just as Blue was about to speak of it, a streak of blue light appeared on the sky and extended into the horizon.

"Looks like they just started. This might be causing the demons to start an attack today. Be on guard Kazuma. Keep your familiars ready for summoning."

The normal people won't see the barrier but the demons will. Not a single demon can enter or exit Tokyo. This would cause the demons to act and attack preemptively. They will feel threatened that they are "caged" in the city they are about to attack.

Since there is nothing to do here, I left home and headed to school, ready to face any enemies that might try to attack.

...

I was around halfway to school when I saw someone running in from the corner of the street. Wait, that was Irina...

"Ack, move away! Move away!"

I quickly stopped and get into Irina.

"What is going on?" I asked her.

"A monster is following me! Kazuma, let's run away!" she said as she shivered.

"Monster?" my eyebrows knitted together. Isn't it too much early for their attack?

"I need to go since I managed to outrun the monster but I don't know for how long before it can catch up to me. You need to escape too!" Irina said as she tugged me but I stopped her.

"Running won't solve anything. Stay close, those guys will be here any minute!"

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

"No," then I asked the phone in my mind.

"Is it okay to show magic to the public right now?"

"In the meantime, yes. The enemies are all here and hiding your powers is not necessary. After the event, the Councilors will do a mass mindwipe to delete this memories from their minds. So feel free to use your magic even with public civilians."

"What about those doing some videos?"

"The councilors already did a network and technology interference so no one inside can use internet connection. On the other hand, the people outside the lockdown will have no contact and will view the events inside as nothing but a normal thing which is the effect of the barrier, therefore, the people inside will not be able to ask help outside and will not be able to escape either."

"That was a bit of bad thing..."

"It's for the sake of maintaining the secrecy of the demons from human minds. It is also for the sake of making the magicians status a secret."

"That is a bit of selfish..."

"Well, we can't do anything about it, its for the sake of safety to the people. It's better if they don't know the truth.

So that was it. It was indeed better if the people don't know the truth or else, chaos and panic will occur and it might cause anarchy or something similar.

Although Irina keeps on tugging me away, I didn't bother to move. I immediately summoned Yuri out from me causing Irina to get shocked.

"You called master?" Yuri hovered above Irina.

"Protect her from enemies. Don't let them get into her. Kill them if possible."

Irina gasped but Yuri smiled and made a salute. "Aye aye, master."

Without waiting for Irina to recover from her initial shock, I activated the gloves and shoes in flames since the presence of the demon is near.

"Demon in tier 1 is approaching fast. It's weak, you can deal with it easily," Blue said.

"Then I won't hold back!"

As soon as I saw a glimpse of a demon on the corner of the street, I burst out and dashed forward. The demon was surprised and before I can give him a chance to dodge, I already punch him on the face and destroy the face of the demon.

The power I released while my fist is burning is just too strong for the face of the demon that before it can even see what was going on, was immediately killed. The demon died without any struggle and was reduced to ashes. I collected the items it dropped and returned to Irina and Yuri who is still guarding a dazed Irina.

When I got near, Irina quickly goes into outburst.

"What is going on? Why did your hands and feet goes ablaze? Who is this woman? What is happening right now?"

"I'll explain later. We need to get to school and warn everyone. Trouble is brewing and we can't let anyone die pointlessly or else, I will be chewed by the others if I stay idle," I said before putting her in my bike's backseat.

"Kyaa!"

"Sorry, it's gonna be a bumpy ride."
