Elena, good night. Seiji-sama, good night.

I left Aya and Elenas room and went back to my own room. However, my activities arent over yet.

I locked the room and usedTeleportationto the prairie slightly away from the town.

What Im going to do is- the magic that I wasnt able to try all the while, Ill try it here.

Right, itsSummon lightning spirit. I want to try it for some time now but it filled me with sense of foreboding somehow, so I put it off till now. But, I cant keep it on hold forever.

I made up my mind and shouted.

Summon lightning spirit!

I felt my MP decreased by a huge amount, and aLightning orbsuddenly appeared and sparked intensely before me.

The lightning orb slowly changed shape and began to gradually take a human form.

I watched the scene as I held the replica sword.

Fuwa~a, eh?I was summoned?

It took a form of a small girl around 30 cm that lightly float in the air. It looks like a 12 or 13 year old JC with a spiky hairstyle like that of visual kei cosplay.1

Good evening.

I tried to greet it for the time being.

Huh?Who are you? Im Seiji, I usedSummon lightning spirit, are you perhaps theLightning spirit? Un, Im theLightning spirit. Eh~, so you were the one who summoned me.

The conversation went fairly normal but the atmosphere became tense somehow.

Since you summoned me I guess you have madepreparations?

The moment theLightning spiritsaid so, a grin floated on its face!

TheVigilancemagic informed me of an extremeDanger.

The instant I usedTeleportationand moved 5 m to the side, severalLightning boltstruck the place where I previously stood. TheLightning boltexplodes, producing a loud noise.

Dangerous! If theTeleportationwas late even for an instant, I would have been done in in one shot.

*clapclapclap* Amazing!You dodged it.

This fellow clapped her hand in a carefree manner.

Why did you do that suddenly!? Eh?Did you summon me without knowing anything? Oh, I dont know a thing!

Well, I dont care anyway. For the time being, please try to beat me.

To beat her is easier said than done. I turned over the replica swords blade and took a mineuchi2 stance.

Facing theLightning spirit, I slowly shorten our distance. WithVigilancemagic, I foresaw the lightning bolt coming from above, so I dashed forward to dodge, cutting the distance between me and that fellow in an instant.

TheLightning spiritwas surprised by my fast movements which created an opening. I slashed at the fellows body.

In that instant, the replica sword hit theLightning spirits body! TheLightning spirits body turned into a streak oflightningandslipped throughthe replica sword, theLightning spiritmoved behind me instantly.

I sensedDangerfrom behind, I promptly leaped to the side- anElectric shockpassed from behind through the spot where I have been previously.

Uwa!The attack from a little while ago was amazing and to also have dodged the attack from behind afterwards was also amazing!What kind of person are you!? Same to you, you dodged my attack in a weird manner. Come now, ImLightning.~

Shit, if only Im a rubber man, Ill punch this fellow hard!

I gave up on the idea of beating this fellow with only a sword and changed strategy.

I put the replica sword away to the inventory and switched to theMagic rodwhich had been entrusted to me by Elena. In addition, I putQuickandMovement speed reinforcementon myself, and castSlowon theLightning spirit. Then, I cut down the distance between us instantly and hit its body like a little while agoor so I thought, but it has been avoided in the same way as before.

Uwa, what is this speed!!

I remained as is and followed it up with continuous strike.

TheLightning spiritkept dodging my continuous strike to theleft, right, up and down with frightening momentum.

When theLightning spiritdodged close to the ground, I smashed the ground withMagic rod. It caused a violent tremor and created a small crater.

Whats that weapon!?Ill die if Im hit by that!! In that case, do you give up? Thats impossible!

When I continued to attack with the continuous strike while mixing feint, even theLightning spiritwasnt able to take it as expected.

Again, it transformedintoLightningand escaped to slightly remote position.

However, I didnt overlook that moment and usedTeleportationto where it will escape before it. I strike attheLightning spirits face with all my might

andstopped just beforeit hit theLightning spirits face.

TheLightning spiritseemed to think that its face was hit and had its eyes shut.

Do you give up?

TheLightning spiritslowly opened one eye and looked at me.

And then, it gently fell on its back.

*Akanbe~*3

Since your attack didnt hit, I havent lost yet.

It still didnt give up!

Then, Ill really hit you? I dont care!

Why are you such a sore loser? Thought its a spirit, Im still hesitant to hit a girl, so I decided to change my approach.

I performed an ordinary dash followed by an ordinary attack and theLightning spiritdodged per usual but

At the direction theLightning spiritdodged to, there was an invisible wall and it ran into it.

Huh?What is this? Barrier!Barrier!Barrier! N? N!?

Well~ then, with this, its possible to win somehow.

When I approached, theLightning spirittried to escape, it also ran into the barrier which I just created.

Huh?Huh?Whats this wall!?

I set up barriers in all 6 directions and theLightning spiritwas like a bird in a cage.

Such a thingImLightning flash!

TheLightning spiritturned into lightning and tried to break through the barrier. It slammed into the barrier with a frightening momentum and bounced back.

W-, Why cant I pass through!? Its impossible because these are barriers that can repel lightning attributes.

TheBarriermagic allows me to put up a barrier thats impervious to an attribute thatI acquired. MyLightning magicis level 5, thats why it can completely shut out lightning.

S-, SuchIm the most powerful attribute spirit, to be defeated so easily

TheLightning spiritsuddenly became meek like a borrowed cat4.

So?Why did you attack me? I understand, Ill explain it.

TheLightning spiritreluctantly began to explain, the contents were roughly as follows.

You can form a contract with a spirit when you defeat it in a fight. If you lose, it seems all the suffered injuries will be healed. When a contract is formed, a spirit can be summoned to fight.

It seems thats it.

This means, well form a contract.

TheLightning spiritquietly drew closer. Suddenly, it gave me akiss on the forehead.

Level went up to 23. Staff techniquesacquired. Staff techniquesis now level 3. Lightning magicis now level 6.

I heard the announcement at that moment.

The contract was formed with this.

Wa!TheLightning magicis level 6!? Thats right, it became level 6 when the contract was formed.

Level 5 is not the limit? Its generally known asLimit break.

I never would have thought that theres a level 6

When I appraised myself, my status rose dramatically.

In particular, my MP was over 5000. Even though Elena whos skilled in magic does not have over 1000. This is a pretty dangerous numerical value, isnt it?
