I raise my sword when a small magic circle appears on it.

This represented the Djinn that inhabited that sword.

"My servant of Wrath and Heroism, I command you, inhabit my body and transform it into the body of a great and powerful sorcerer"

At this moment a big lightning strikes on me and my appearance starts to change.

When the lightning disappears my new Appearance is seen which resembles a dragon with two horns and a jewel on its forehead and an elaborate gold necklace, along with a blue scale-like armor over body parts and a long tail.

"Masou: Baal"

The Djinn that inhabits my sword is Baal the Djinn of Wrath and Heroism, who has the ability to manipulate lightning.

Masou was basically a way that you turned into a great sorcerer by embodying the full power of the Djinn, where you are able to exercise your true abilities.

Mordred although showing a little surprise, she already knew some of my Djinns.

"Come on," shouts Mordred as he rushes at the devils.

I start flying, thanks to Masou, and also launch myself towards the devils.

The devils had no chance, those who approached were simply annihilated by my lightning, seeing Mordred I see that he also destroys them with his Red Thunders.

...

...

It had been quite some time since the beginning of my competition with Mordred, if I looked back I would see a lot of devil bodies dead with lightning burns or totally annihilated.

Now me and Mordred are in front of Boss's room.

"So how many have you killed Mordred?"

"55 Master" says Mordred with a smile I return.

"What a coincidence I also killed 55" I say.

We stared at each other a bit until Mordred said:

"So whoever kills Boss first wins," she says and I nod in agreement.

We walk to the door that opens.

[You are entering Boss's room, you can only leave after defeating him]

[Good luck, host]

Thank you system.

When we enter the room it lights up in flames all over the place and reveals Boss.

He was big, very gigantic, I think eight to nine meters tall and was made entirely of molten lava rocks with flames coming out of his eyes and mouth, he also had four arms and eyes and looked quite a monster.

The monster starts to release flames all over its body as the temperature of the place starts to rise, although I don't feel heat due to [Purgatory Dragon Slayer Magic] and my natural resistance.

Mordred also appears unaffected.

"I'll finish him off before you can blink Master," says Mordred with a smile.

"And I'm going to kill him before you can even breathe," I say teasingly with a smile.

And we ended up getting lost while playing taunts at each other.

"I'll kill him first," Mordred yells angrily.

"I'll kill him first," I yell.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH"

We hear the monster roaring.

"Don't bother us mutt/idiot" we yelled me and Mordred at the same time as we pointed our swords at him.

From Clarent red rays of energy arise from the Vessel of Baal blue rays arise.

"Bararaq"

"Clear"

Huge waves of lightning shoot at the same time towards the devils who can do nothing but be destroyed.

[Boss was destroyed]

Damn who hit before?!

Who system hit before?

[The coups occurred at the same time]

Damn it!

"That was..." begins Mordred.

"At the same time" complete me.

We just stare at emptiness for a while.

"So how about we settle this now Master" says Mordred as he squeezes Clarent's cable making it crackle in electricity.

"Yes, let's work this out," I say as I squeeze Baal's container, making lightning dance around it.

We advance against each other crashing our swords that repel each other while releasing rays through them.

Pulling back I see Mordred accumulate a great amount of energy in the sword that lit up in red energy and lightning.

Wait she will release her Noble Phantasm here?!

Great storm clouds begin to appear around me and from them great waves of lightning come out and are absorbed by Baal's vessel.

Damn it!

"Clarent Blood..."

"Bararaq..."

"ARTHUR/SAIQA"

It was only possible to see two rays, one red and one blue, meeting before the explosion.

...

Kuoh Academy.

Well here I am at school after my battle with Mordred.

The result of the liberation of Claret and the Bararaq Saiqa had resulted in a massive explosion that hit me and Mordred.

Although our blows were canceled and mine came out more victorious.

Don't be surprised, although Clarent's release was strong she wasn't as strong as Bararaq Saiqa that she could easily annihilate a mountain range easily.

Although I also have a slight pain in my arm, Mordred also got a little bruise and ended up using it as an excuse to stay home.

That damn!!!

It didn't take long for my eyes to capture Koneko and Asia. When the white-haired devil saw me, his entire body tensed. I could tell she was shaking a little and was trying to get away.

But there was a problem—Asia was holding her hand as she dragged her to me.

Good job Asia!

Well the reason Asia is here is that she was enrolled in school along with me and Mordred.

"Gilgamesh-san! I brought Koneko-san." Asia said when she saw me.

"Oh good. Thanks Asia." I replied in a grateful tone and the blonde girl smiled. I then turned to Koneko, who tensed when I smiled at her.

"Hello Koneko, can I call you that?" She nodded and my smile widened a little.

"Hello Koneko, nice to meet you again."

Koneko just nodded. Her face might have been blank, but I could see her little body shiver and the sweat on her forehead.

I just inwardly sighed. Well, it wasn't a surprise to see her like that. Could you imagine if she was in her position? If you were in front of a dragon that had threatened to eat you during your first encounter with him, wouldn't you be afraid too?

"Koneko, relax." I said in my gentlest tone and although the effect wasn't visible, I noticed she relaxed a little.

"I won't hurt you or eat you, so you don't have to fear me. In fact, it's the other way around." I told her and her eyes showed confusion for a moment.

"I came... to apologize..."

Her shock was clearly visible when I could see her eyes widen, an expression of surprise also on her face.

"What I did during our first meeting…was awesome, I think." I continued while still looking at her and showing an embarrassed face.

"That's why I want to apologize to you."
