Against Demons

Woofia

Yushiro

"Here we are, in the kingdom of Woofia" Gekko-san said.

"Here we are, in the kingdom of Woofia" Gekko-san said

"S-sugoii......" I said. This kingdom was so beautiful. The walls and the exterior are superb. There are a lot of soldiers guarding the gate.

"Okay my job is done, I should go. Sayonara, to the both of you, 'till our next meeting." He said and disappear.

"He left?" I ask Sora-san.

"Yes, as always. That is how he was created, whenever he fulfilled his job he will disappear. And besides he has a lot of work to do. There are tons of people who needs to be transported kingdom to kingdom." she explained.

"I see. It's hard to handle that kind of work." I said.

As we walk towards the gate, a person approached us. Or should I say a demi-human. She's as tall as Sora-san and she has a dog ears and a tail wagging and her hands are waving on us.

"Ohayou!" She greet us with a smile.

"I am Himiko Eroku, the kingdom's head mage. I'll tour you in our kingdom. Hajime Mashite (nice to meet you)" she added.

"Nice to see you again Himiko-chan!" Sora-san greeted her.

"You know each other?" I ask with confusion.

"Hai! When I became a hero, I trained her and teach her some techniques in magic." She answered.

"And because of her I became the Head mage of this kingdom." Himiko continued.

"Sugoii! But you two looks like you were just in the same age. Just how old are you Sora-san." I said and then we all laugh together.

We walk towards the gate. The both of them are having a conversation, maybe a lot of time passed that they did not see each other. While we were walking, Himiko-san suddenly stop.

"N-nande? (Why)" I ask.

"May I have a favour before you enter this gate, Sora-san?" She ask.

"Nani?" Sora-san answered.

"Can you please use your magic to destroy this gate?" She said.

I was shock on what she said. Why would Sora-san have to destroy the gate? But there is no confusion on Sora-san's face. Maybe she un

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to test if our security was enough." She defended herself.

Sora-san stepped back a bit. She get her umbrella and place it towards the gate. As I remember, her type of magic were use as a shield.

She opened her umbrella and a light glows upon it. "I, Sora Hikari order thee. In the name of the Hikari bloodline. Compress the energy of the power of protection! --" a large glowing ball came from the tip of her umbrella going towards the gate but before it reaches its target. Sora-san said;

"Meteor Shower" she said with a soft quiet voice.

The ball shattered into small pieces and acts like a series of bullet coming towards the direction of the gate. It results a huge and loud explosion, the place were filled with smoke.

When the smoke disappeared, the large gate earlier is now nothing but a small pieces of rocks. Her power were superb, she even break the gate of Woofia.

"As I expected from the 'deadly mage'. Our protection is not enough. Arigatou Gozaimasu for your cooperation." Himiko-san said.

"Call the mages in charge in the protection of the kingdom!" She said to the soldier with authority.

As we walk on their kingdom I saw a lot of demi-humans. Some has dog ears, cat ears, bunny ears and many other types. They all approached us with a smile despite of our race different from them.

"This is our Familiar Hall, this is where you can buy all kinds of egg. Familiars are creatures that you can pet and it also help you during battles." She said while pointing large building in front of us.

"There are common, rare, and legendary pets. All eggs in this world came from this kingdom. I bet you already have one, right?" She added and glare at me.

She point my pocket and I get the weird accessory I got from the kig.

"Is this what you are talking about?" I ask.

She was shock when I gave her the egg. This egg can be hold by a single hand.

"This king of egg... its outer appearance is common but the creature within..... Where did you get this?" She ask

"T-the king of Mardrilac gave it to me a while ago, but not directly from the him. His servant went to my house and give me all the stuffs I need." I explain.

"By the way, what kind of creature is there?" I added while pointing the egg. She gave it back to me and sighed.

"Just wait and let's see if you are worth it of it." She said. I make a confused face.

"Okay! Stop from talking those things, can you tour us inside?" Sora-san said. Maybe she felt uneasy on our conversation. We enter the Familiar Hall and I saw a lot of eggs. They were stored inside a glass cabinet. Some of the eggs where the same with mine but I noticed that those eggs doesn't have a crystal on the upper part. Maybe there's something with this egg.

We walk even further and we saw rooms with glass walls

We walk even further and we saw rooms with glass walls. There are people there, training their familiar.

"In this building, you may also train your familiar to acquire there next stage. In other words, when the time comes, your familiar will undergo evolution." She explained.

"Our next place to visit is the Training Center, in this building there are several rooms where you can train your with your pets and enhance your skills." She added.

"What if a powerful person trained on that place, it can be destroyed." I said.

"It's okay Yushiro-kun. It is protected by high level magic." Sora-san answered.

We entered the building and I saw rooms covered with glass walls.

"Do you want to train a bit?" Sora-san asked.

She chose a wide room. It's a good idea so that I can evade her moves easily.

"I'll teach you the basics, before you learn magic you should know the basic fighting position. It's important because when the time comes that you don't have enough manna you can still fight." She explained.

"Do you want to have a deal?" She added.

"What deal?" I answered.

"If I win, you will be my slave for a week, which means you'll follow all my commands." She said.

"But if I win?" I ask.

"I will teach you my hidden spell, a spell that only I, Minato-san and Renji-sensei knows." She answered.

"I accept it!" I said with determination.

Himiko-san was just watching us from the outside.

Sora-san use her power to create a simple sword and gave it to me. It's my first time to hold a thing like this.

"For now, try to counter and evade my attacks. Let's see if what are the things I should teach you." She said.

I took a deep breath and hold my sword tightly. I should focus on defending myself.

She rushed towards me. In an instant, she's already in front of me. I was so shocked, I don't even know what to do. She attempt to s***h me but I use my sword to counter it. Still, I lose my balance and fell because of her strength. She's using her umbrella as her weapon.

"Get up and fight!" She said while laughing.

She attacked me again, I somehow managed to evade and counter her attacks but her strength was still beyond mine.

I have to find her weakness, I'm sure there is a loophole in every move she make. I just need a little time to observe. She's not a hero for no reason, she can even move swiftly while wearing a kimono. I know that this was not her full power but still...she's beyond mine.

Until the I realise how she attack. She's using the same move over and over. But to test if I'm right, I'll be the one to attack first. I rushed towards her position and attack her. She managed to evade it. Assuming her next move, she will s***h diagonally. I hopped to the right, it looks like she's shock from what I did. Next is a horizontal s***h, I leaned backward and bend my knees. She tried to slide her legs on the floor to destroy my balance but I immediately jumped.

"You're pretty good Yushiro-kun! To think that you don't have any experience." She said. Sora-san stepped backward and shoot me with her ball of magic. I've been thinking how to counter that move for the whole time. I have a palm but its too risky, I'm so exhausted for her repeated attacks. Her attack is coming on my way, but before it reaches me...

"Unleash the stored power of the sun and bring forth a bright light! Enlightment!!." I said. I've been hiding this Sun Imprisonment paper on the whole time.

I can see how shock Sora-san was from what I did. She covered her eyes because of the light coming towards her. It doesn't affect her at all because only demons can be killed by this spell. I noticed that Himiko-san were not on her position, maybe she left while we were fighting.

I ran to Sora-san's position and kick her in the back. She fell on the floor and the light also disappears. I point my sword to her.

"You've won... good job Yushiro-kun! I don't expect that you will use that spell. You're so clever!" She praised me with a smile. I gave my hand to her and helped her to stand. I replied her with a smile but my eyes felt heavy and I fell on the floor.

"Yushiro-kun! Yushiro-kun!" Those are the words I heard before I close my eyes.
