The young lady, or should I refer her as my female classmate(?), is coming towards me at this bed. I don't know what kind of attitude girls from this world display when they see me, but what I do know is that my heartbeat is beating faster.

And why is it beating faster???

"Say, boy. You smell nice."

And that's the second sentence she says that got my heart beating way too fast; Either its her half-revealing cleavage that should've been closed with a necktie or the fact she's a pretty one or the fact that the school uniform's skirt's length is questionable. I would say all of the above, but I believe it's her easy-going attitude that tugs my heart unlike a certain uptight captain...

Just when I tell her that she's too young for me and I was about to leave, she pushes me down on the bed. The next thing I know...

Hey...wait, wait, girl! Aren't we going too fast? To think I let her be on top of me...

I have no idea what's the reason, but she smells my neck, my cheek and maybe my ears twice. I don't know that there are some girls from this world who love smelling men like me. I can tell my face is getting hot due to my uncontrolled blushing.

"Hey, boy. Your hair is kind of my type."

Eh? What about my hair?

"It's natural, right? No dyeing involved?"

Her right hand caress my left-side hair, smelling it like I'm a vir...

No, no, no! Get a grip, Francis!! You should be taking the lead with an ADULT woman. Not with this sudden attack from this youngster...even though she's pretty and that I wish to be a harem king...I still know when to draw the line!!

As I struggle to make her get off of me, my right hand grabs her left arm by accident. A loud beating flows across my body in a sudden moment. Then, a bright light flashes in front of my mind. When it becomes dim, I seem to hear something.

"Please...I won't tell..."

Someone's begging. A woman?

"What do you want, monster?!"

An old lady?!

"Hmm~ I guess I can have you, old lady. Though..."

I see images, but the unexpected thing about it is the old lady's face appearing in front of me. To be accurate, it seems I'm opening my eyes, but at the same time, they're NOT MY EYES.

Wait... isn't that Suzuki's...

"...you barely give me Aura Energy, but I guess you can make this girl able to go without eating a few days."

Before I can say anything, I see a hand going towards the landlady's face. A sudden darkness covers my sight as I hear the poor old lady screaming in agony. What scares me more is the noise of ice crackling...wha...

Wait. Ice? There's no human able to use Ice...it can't be...

"You froze her?"

After feeling like I've witnessed the past, my sight is back on track where this youngster girl is still on top of me. There's only one difference...she looks surprised at me because...

Oh no! I blurt those words out.

When I expect her to slice my neck, the girl gives off a giggle; then a laugh; finally, she laughs so loud that I believe any student nearby would've heard immediately and call for back-up. Speaking of students, somehow I only hear silence except this girl's manic laughter and the panic breaths I'm making. Once she's done laughing, she looks at me straightforward with her glowing eyes...wait. They're supposed to be brownish, but now, they're an icy blue color...

"My, my. You've seen those memories with psychometry, huh? That means you're a very rare specimen."

"Wha...what are you talking..."

Before I can finish my sentence, my left hand feels cold all of a sudden. I glance at it freezing very slowly. It's her Ice Magic being used from the touch of her right hand. I wanna push her, but she's got a strong grip on me despite her human body being smaller and less muscular than mine. I yelp in pain as the ice gets colder on my left hand. I become speechless as my mouth just gapes. I can swear that I look fearful once my eyes look straight into her icy blue eyes.

"Hey, Great Hero of Branshire."

"Ah...you know...me?"

"I know exactly who you are, Francis Goodlight."

"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?! What have you done to that old lady?!"

"Hmm~ what else? I ate her, Mister Hero."

"Ate... don't tell me you're..."

I yelp in pain as my left hand is getting frozen by her right hand.

"My name is Siofon, and I'm gonna eat you for my power upgrade, Mister Hero."

I wanna yell for help, but I just remembered the Demon Princess saying she'll be back in an hour or so...why am I depending on her? I shouldn't. I am Branshire's Hero. Nevertheless, this Siofon being is still able to hold on to me with that small body of hers.

What should I do? I need a distraction. Maybe a big sheet to cover her sight...wait...her sight!

I stretch out my right hand with all my strength in it, breaking off her left hand's grip with success. As soon as my right hand is near to her face, I activate my Shining Glare, blinding her sight for a few moments. As she stumbles and questions what kind of light is blinding her, I kick her off the bed with my right foot. Even if she's a girl, I won't go easy on her for she wants to eat me. While she clasps her stomach and writhes in pain, I dash towards the sliding door of this room, escaping from her sight.

I manage to get away as far as I can from that room. The ice is still on my left hand, but my Fire Magic activates for a warm-up function. Once I'm outside the school's building, I run towards the gate entrance. As I run with all my might, I notice something weird.

Huh? Where are the students and teachers and... where's everyone? What's more...how can it be sunset already??

Out of nowhere, I see the school building in front of me. For a moment, I think I'm daydreaming; that I'm stuck here without running away, but I'm sure I ran straight ahead just now. I did run towards the gate entrance so how...

"Wait a minute. This space...am I..."

"Infinite Dimension."

It's the girl...or should I say Siofon's voice. I turn around to see her looking triumphant putting this magic spell on me. I get cold feet and sweat as I get nervous seeing a evil grin at me.

"It can't be...A magic spell...controlling time and space at will? Are you one of the Demon Generals? Because only they can do this kind of spell."

"Nice deduction, Mister Hero. But you've mistaken about this spell. I BORROWED it."

"Borrowed? From who?"

"Like I would reveal his name to you, Mister Hero. To be honest, I don't like his combat skills, but that person is the only one being able to use this trick for as long as he wants. Guess I'm glad he lend this to me."

"What do you..."

"Right! Enough talking! Just stay out and let me eat you, Francis Goodlight. I mustn't waste 10 whole minutes to handle an average guy like you. Come to think of it, I'm glad you're a helpless Hero. Any last words?"

She stretches out her right hand, ready to freeze me completely. Then, I remember that woman's advice of using the rosary. All I have to do is say...

"Activate."

A bright yellow light is blinding both of us, but Siofon is sensitive to the light. As for me, I'm witnessing a sword's silhouette forming in front of me. Eventually, it shows its true form: my sword from Branshire. Until now, I haven't realize its yellow gem in the middle of its hilt glows brightly probably due to its Activate transformation. I gape in awe for a moment; then, I gain back my focus of activating it in the first place.

There's no time to wonder how that Purple Lady is able to turn my sword into a golden rosary. As I point my sword towards Siofon, who eventually gains back her full vision once my sword's shining light becomes dim. She takes a quick glance as if her icy blue eyes can scan its abilities as an offensive weapon. She gives off another evil grin at me while she makes fun of me. Man~ this Demon General is a chatty one.

"That was a nice summoning spell, but I doubt you can slay me with that plain-looking sword."

"Say what you want, Siofon. I'm planning...no. I'll slay you... starting with this move!"

I activate my Acceleration Spell with just my mind's thought. I don't even need to say it out loud; I feel something different inside of me once I gain that "psycho-what-tree" as said by Siofon; But back on battle mode, I manage to surprise her with me being so close in front of her. I swing my sword to slash her front body, but she manages to avoid it with her demonic reflexes. Heck! She's doing difficult moves while avoiding my slashing attacks. Nevertheless, I can see the desperate face she's making right now. Then, she stops me by saying:

"Hey, boy! You do know this isn't my real body?! This girl is an innocent human."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning... I'm POSSESSING her. I'm a Spectre, you know."

"Spec...tre? You mean an evil soul who has..."

"No compassion? No kindness? No guilt...in killing humans? Yes, boy! So it'll be wise to not slay..."

"Even so..."

"Huh?"

"I'll slay you! Even if this girl has to die in my hands, at least you'll have to come out of her body and be slayed in your true form!!"

I've gone back to slashing Siofon, who seems to be taken aback and panics as she uses all that girl's body's strength in avoiding my sword. Luckily, she seems to be losing breath. Realizing her back is one part of the school's building, she's looking for a way out, but I'm not letting that happen.

"Right, Siofon. We can do this the easy way...or the hard way."

"Darn it. If only I possess a Magic User's body..."

"So that's the reason you can't attack me a lot with your Ice Magic. Because she's a normal human, her body will crumble at the wrong time and you'll have to leave her body by then."

"...why you..."

"Now, get out of there, Siofon."

I use Lightning Slash, which also can be controlled with my thoughts, on her. I expect it's gonna be bloody...huh?

"Hehe~ I'm not getting out. She is. Oh, E~lise~"

Suddenly, a huge tempest forms between me and Siofon. I get knocked to the ground; my body landing backwards. It's lucky enough for me to have a strong grip on my sword at that moment. When I get back up, I realize what forms in front of me. I can't imagine what shocking face I'm making because in front of me is...

"Eis...Golem..."
