Behind Sai there was Kuesu and the others, in addition to Amy and Zir .

“It was actually superb . ” (Baara)
I nodded at Gary’s impression, and smiled at Baara in reply .
“[Annihilation] is my disciple in any case . ” (Kuesu)
Successful was solely pure . Kuesu had made that kind of assertion . I puzzled the place that confidence got here from .
“…” (Seira)
Seira was nonetheless watching me . With out worrying about it, I continued with the dialog .
“Lux was way more superb than I used to be . ” (Hibiki)
Kuesu shook her head, whereas Gary and the remaining smiled wryly .
“Lux, is Lux . ”
“That’s proper, there is no such thing as a level in cheering for Lux’s matches . ”
“He’ll nonetheless survive even when left alone . ”
Opposite to what they stated, it confirmed how a lot they belief him .
All of us entered a close-by restaurant however it appeared that everybody else additionally had the identical thought . It was packed .
“This, I assume we got here a bit late . ” (Hibiki)
“Grasp and Mr . Lux nonetheless have some matches left after this, so we higher get them one thing to eat now if we are able to . ” (Amy)
“Since that’s so, all of us can merely eat while viewing the matches . ” (Zir)
I’m not that hungry but, however I appreciated everybody’s concern .

I spoke to Sai whereas biting on the skewers .
“What’s with this tough remedy of your workers? Then, what do you need to ask?” (Sai)
I requested Sai to collect details about my subsequent opponent .
“By subsequent, do you imply that girl with loads of scars?” (Sai)
Apparently he watched the woman’s match as properly . His face seemed troubled .
“Positive she’s fairly robust, however not so good as you, Hibiki . ” (Sai)
Apparently her opponent was wrapped in a fireplace pillar as quickly because the match started .
Saying that I’m higher than her after seeing that match was fairly bizarre .
“It’s simply in case . I’ll simply do what I’ve to do . ” (Hibiki)
“I do know . I’ll gather as a lot info as I can earlier than the match begins . ” (Sai)
Sai instantly left .
My match would be the second match, so it couldn’t be helped since there was not a lot time left .
Break time was over and the second spherical started .
In the intervening time, there have been two magicians clashing with their magic spells within the enviornment .
These two gave the impression to be part of the “exempt from the preliminaries group” and have been rivals to at least one one other .
Because the commentator talked in regards to the match for fairly a protracted whereas, Sai’s information managed to get to me in time .
The winner of this match, was the elite magician who was proficient in water magic .
Now then, my match got here subsequent .
Known as by the official, I quietly rushed to the sector .
I used to be greeted with the reside commentator saying that ”This woman has a greater probability of profitable the match” .
Because the referee introduced the start of the match, the [Sickly Girl] instantly shot hearth and water balls with each palms .
The group cheered at that flashy assault .
I manipulated the wind to divert their trajectory, cladding my sword in flames then proceeded to make use of the fiery sword to chop the water ball .
I couldn’t fully deflect the fireball, however I managed to divert it sufficient to permit me some gaps to wade by means of .
I one way or the other managed to resist the primary wave with out a hitch, and returned hearth with my very own fireball . To show that I’m her senior it needs to be a bit larger than the woman’s fireball, don’t you agree?
The woman didn’t even attempt to dodge the fireball . It instantly hit her within the abdomen .
The group began booing at me . What’s with this distinction in remedy?
Nonetheless, the woman was nonetheless standing there . Upon nearer inspection, her abdomen was really protected by a layer of ice .
Apparently that was what neutralized my fireball .
“Ladies shouldn’t let their abdomen’s really feel chilly . ” (Hibiki)
I approached the woman whereas spouting that gentle comment . It was to combat inside sword vary .
The woman appeared to note my intention, she ready an ice blade in her left hand .
I as soon as once more cladded my sword in flames like I did earlier .
Fireplace Sword VS Ice Sword, each swords clashed in opposition to one another on the blade’s midsection .
It gave the impression to be a draw at first look, however it was really my loss .
I shortly launched my grip on my sword and retreated .
The following second, a fireplace and ice blast bloomed at the place I beforehand stood .
“You’ve gotten disadvantaged me of my weapon, eh?” (Hibiki)
Taking a fast look to the viewers seats, I seen Sai waving at me .
“Apparently, evidently he rescued her safely . ” (Hibiki)
I sighed, then talked to the woman .
“Leelan . That’s sufficient . ” (Hibiki)
Once I pointed in the direction of Sai, [Sickly Leelan] turned in the direction of the viewers seats .
“Para, thank goodness . You actually helped me out!!” (Leelan)
The woman fell to her knees and began crying .
The referee checked out me with scornful eyes . It appeared that he suspected me of threatening the opposite participant .
He reluctantly declared me the victor . The group additionally appeared to have the identical thought, thus they began booing at me once more .
Leelan and I might care much less about such a factor and the each of us returned to the ready room .
“Thanks, thanks very a lot . Huge brother . ” (Leelan)
Leelan stored saying that repeatedly on our method again .
Effectively, what had really occurred earlier than the match?
Let’s return again to the time earlier than the primary match began .
=====
“Hibiki!!” (Sai)
It was Sai who got here to the ready room alongside of Kuesu .
Apparently, individuals apart from these involved weren’t allowed to get in, which was why he introduced Kuesu alongside .
“The factor about that woman, after I seemed round for some time, I discovered it, discovered it . ” (Sai)
He appeared to have varied issues to say so I allowed him to elucidate it to me .
=====
That woman, she was an experimental object of a magical analysis institute .
The title registered for this match was [Number 15] .
For me, I might solely hear it as a quantity, however for everybody else it appeared that they heard it as one thing that rhymes with 15 .
In different phrases, there have been 14 different individuals earlier than her .
The institute was experimenting so as to have the ability to artificially produce a magician with a twin or much more component mixture .
Apparently, they experimented by having somebody reside in excessive environments, like subsequent to the doorway of a volcano or close to a iceberg, with the intention to drive them to awaken a brand new component of magic .
They have been in a position to awaken one thing, however the consequence was weak in energy .
They repeatedly tried and came upon that the youthful the individual they experimented on, the better the consequence .
Nonetheless, they stalled there . Utilizing youthful individuals additionally meant that their magic earlier than awakening was not that robust .
It could be no completely different than a single component magician .
The following methodology, was to implant physique components of a monster with a sure component into the human physique .
Apparently, they grafted the monster pores and skin onto the topic’s pores and skin and waited to see if there was an influence switch .
Once more, there gave the impression to be some success .
Because it was instantly put contained in the physique, it didn’t take very lengthy to take impact .
Nonetheless, in addition they stalled right here .
Some people did receive the facility, however they quickly died .
It appeared that the human physique couldn’t deal with that of a monster’s .
From these two makes an attempt, two research have been born .
Elevating a human from childbirth in an excessive setting, making them able to mastering 2 parts as they grew into an grownup .
Grafting monster components onto the human physique to switch their attribute .
Each confirmed outcomes, however each additionally had limitations .
With a greater than regular skill, however lower than an elite magician, an amiable human chimera was created .
The researchers who weren’t happy with the consequence continued to attempt to discover a higher methodology .
Having lived in an excessive setting from their early years, mixed with the surgical procedure methodology .
That was, the chimera magician .
[Number 15] was the fifteenth results of such an experiment .
She was a chimera together with her personal elder twin sister, displaying virtually no rejection to the implants and adjusted to them very properly .
The masterpiece of the analysis institute .
======
That was the story Sai managed to dig out .
It was info gathered in such a short while . So there have been sure to be some errors .
However realizing this a lot about her was already good .
Trying on the woman who sat within the nook, going through down .
That man from the primary spherical didn’t appear to be round .
I used to be standing earlier than her when she lastly seen .
“Why do you not run away?” (Hibiki)
I attempted speaking to the woman . The woman lifted her face and checked out me .
“If you’re that robust, why didn’t you attempt to escape?” (Hibiki)
The woman lastly realized my intentions .
“As a result of, I’m a giant sister . ” (Leelan)
So it was identical to what Sai advised me .
“No, it’s as a result of I’m Para’s massive sister . ” (Leelan)
Para, was the title of the chimera born concurrently her .
It was in all probability a measure to forestall escape or riot .
They threatened to kill Para if she went in opposition to them .
“If I rescue her, you then received’t should combat anymore, proper?” (Hibiki)
The woman checked out me with a stunned face .
“…hm . ” (Leelan)
Listening to that reply, Sai left the ready room .
She’s been ready for this second .
“That uncle over there’ll go search for Para . ” (Hibiki)
“Actually?” (Leelan)
“Yeah . So please don’t combat me severely to purchase a while . It will likely be arduous for me if you happen to come at me as fierce as in your earlier match . ” (Hibiki)
“Hm . ” (Leelan)
And with that, she wouldn’t combat severely in our match .
Sai additionally severely began looking out . He’s a extremely good man in any case .
“Hibiki, we’ll additionally assist . ” (Baara)
Baara and the others additionally provided to assist .
“It’s troublesome to talk about however the church officers are suspicious . ” (Lux)
Lux whispered into my ear in order to not be heard .
“Why?” (Hibiki)
“She’s nonetheless alive even with that many traces of implant surgical procedure . Even when the rejection was small, she ought to’ve run out of power and died . ” (Lux)
I didn’t know something about this transplantation surgical procedure, nor about this rejection thingy, however I did perceive just a little in regards to the operation . Baara seen what I wished to say .
In different phrases, the surgical procedure wouldn’t achieve success with out intensive use of therapeutic magic through the course of .
Solely the church was able to bringing collectively a considerable amount of healers .
Baara frowned however nodded her head, then adopted the others accompanying Sai .
=====
Earlier than our match started, I had been attempting to get to know her higher .
So long as she trusted me even just a bit, it’ll be much less dangerous for me .
Her title [Leelan] apparently got here from her older sister’s [Lee] and her personal [Lanfa] .
The researchers often solely referred to as her with “hey”, ”you”, or “Quantity 15” .
She had by no means met her older sister [Lee] earlier than . It was solely pure as they have been separated since childbirth .
She was referred to as [Lee] on the day of the surgical procedure, the primary time they met these two individuals mutually gave one another names .
[Regardless of who will expire first, I will always remember you and you will always remember me . ]
These have been the final phrases of her older sister [Lee] who she met for the primary time .
“Huge brother is not going to neglect about Leelan’s matter, proper?” (Leelan)
Even after the match had concluded and we returned again to the ready room, Leelan by no means left my facet .
