Dozens of simulated bullets were scattered in every corner of the air. If you were hit by one, your fate would be the same as Yuko Yamase's, falling to the ground and unable to get up.

However, the silver-haired girl didn't know that this was a contestant who had advanced to the top ten just like them.

If they were defeated so easily, how could they be called enemies?

The sunlight shone on their bodies and was reflected on the ground, creating shadows. The black shadows began to split continuously in all directions, helping them to withstand the dozens of bullets.

"Sorry, did you call Kobashi Kazuko-san? She's quite an opponent to be reckoned with. I didn't expect that she not only defeated Yuko, but also put us under such pressure."

Both of them held snow-white blades in their hands.

But the blade looked very strange. The handle was round, while the blade was straight. Together, it looked like a pair of scissors.

"Yes, I remember now. They were very dangerous. In the last Magic Ranking Tournament, although they were ranked in an unremarkable position, they were at least in the top five in the team competition."

Yukari slowly walked over to the silver-haired girl and explained to her.

"Although I'm looking forward to your performance, it's better for you to step aside this time and let others deal with them..."

Yukari raised her hands, began to concentrate and began to recite the spell silently.

But the silver-haired girl stood directly in front of her.

Yukari had no choice but to stop chanting the spell and terminate the magic chanting.

"Sister, what are you doing? You're standing in front of others. Do you want to die?"

"Yukari, I don't need you to interfere..."

"You...what are you talking about? Didn't I already say it? You, a witch who hasn't been fully trained yet, are no match for them, so let them handle it..."

"It's okay, Yukari, leave everything to me... I'll take care of them."

The silver-haired girl turned around with an extremely determined look and looked directly at Yukari, and that look made Yukari feel a little nervous.

"Oh, what an enviable sisterly relationship... We don't have such a good sisterly relationship as you guys."

"What did you say?"

The silver-haired girl asked them sharply, and they immediately merged their two magical weapons together.

The silver-haired girl once heard from the academy principal that two witches could fuse two magical weapons of the same type together, turning the two powers into one.

"Our magic attributes are both [Shadow], so we were able to fuse two different magical weapons into one, resulting in this current form."

"so what?"

"For example, this pair of scissors can do this kind of thing."

As soon as she asked, they pointed the huge scissors towards the silver-haired girl, and with a click, the scissors made a sound of colliding with each other.

The [shadow] next to him actually began to move, and his [shadow] continued to expand and turned into the appearance of a huge monster.

The silver-haired girl raised her head and looked at her [shadow], who swung his fist and punched in the direction of the silver-haired girl.

Chapter 263 Past

They looked in the direction of the silver-haired girl and Yukari. Yukari was hesitating whether she should go up to help the silver-haired girl, but was afraid that she would be angry, so she could only put on this anxious look.

The look between them really reminded them of the past.

(Scene change)

Witches are people who cannot feel close to others.

Especially for me, whose parents have been separated since childhood.

My family is a single-parent family.

There is only mother at home.

Every day, my mother works until very late before coming home.

For me, it was an extremely lonely and long wait.

I was lying on the table doing my homework last night. On this day, she was waiting for her mother's return as usual.

No matter how tired she is, her mother will always smile at her.

I lay on the table, my consciousness gradually becoming hazy.

The key turned in the door, and a heavy sound came from the entrance.

It immediately woke me up from my light sleep.

My mother is back——

I showed a happy expression and ran towards the entrance.

"Yuka, mom is back..."

"Mom, welcome home!"

"Really? It's this late and you're still not asleep. Don't you have an important test tomorrow?"

"Actually, I just slept..."

At that time, I seemed very naive and told the truth.

"Actually, you're waiting for mom's cake, so you're not sleeping, right?"

"Hey...it's not like that."

Mom, you are so amazing. It’s like you have super powers. You guessed what I was thinking in an instant.

Today is my thirteenth birthday.

I thought my mother would forget her birthday because she was busy.

But I didn't expect that my mother would remember it so clearly.

After being exposed, my face turned red as if it had a fever.

"Mom, I know what you're thinking. Hurry up and bring me something like a lighter."

A smile appeared on my face and I quickly ran to the drawer to get the lighter.

Because the family is not wealthy.

So the cake looked very small, but I didn't mind that.

The only thing that matters to me is who I spend my birthday with.

So, it doesn’t matter even if the birthday cake doesn’t seem as big as those of kids of the same age.

I looked at the shadow trembling on the wall. It seemed to be swaying and rocking as if to congratulate me.

In my mind, where I have no friends, my mother is the only important person to me.

The strange phenomena that happen to the witch will also happen to the people around the witch.

Therefore, most witches will be alienated by others.

I am one of them.

When I was a child, even I didn’t know why they alienated me.

Before I knew it, the distance between me and my classmates had become very far.

From elementary school to junior high school, whenever someone approached me and tried to be my friend, they would be stopped immediately by my former friends.

"It's best not to get close to that girl. I don't know what kind of bad luck she has."

"Eh? Is this true?"

"It's genuine. If you don't believe me, try getting close to her. Don't blame me for not warning you then..."

Harsh words like these have echoed in my ears far too many times.

"..."

The first time they became aware of the witch was when two women visited their home.

One of them had black hair and black eyes. She was wearing a kimono that was only worn during festivals and holding a folding fan in her hand. Although she was not as tall as herself, her movements and expression were like those of an adult.

The woman next to her was completely different from her, except that she was yawning and looked very tired, with mature purple hair draped over her shoulders and glasses.

When my mother saw them, she asked me to go to my room to do my homework.

But I put my ear to the crack in the door and heard their conversation.

In a nutshell.

I just hope that when I go to high school, I can go to their school. It seems that there are many witch children like me there.

Life in junior high school is even worse than life in elementary school.

My classmates saw that I was alone.

Unwelcome look.

They kept finding ways to play tricks on themselves.

For example, a prank like putting a bucket on the classroom door and getting soaked when you come in.

For example, you can scratch your desk with a compass to make it look messy.

For example, I filled my drawer with pieces of paper that insulted me.

I'm really fed up with this kind of life.

I don’t want to live like this again in high school.

So, she proposed to her mother the condition of wanting to enter the witch academy.

Naturally, my mother agreed to my conditions.

In the first month after I entered Witch Academy, my mother—

Died of overwork.

When I heard the news, I really felt like I had fallen from heaven to hell.

sad.

lament.

For some reason, there was a cracking sound in my heart.

To the point that I sat on the stone under the cherry tree, unable to recover.

What's the point of fighting when you've already lost everyone important to you?

I don't understand, and I don't want to use this insignificant and weak power——

Go fight.

Tears welled up in my eyes——

"Do you need help?"

The sound rang in my ears, like the most beautiful note.

However, I was in a very bad mood at that time.

Therefore, I answered without any good intention.

"No, I don't need anyone's help..."

After saying that, I turned aside and denied her in a very firm attitude.

"Really? Really? Looks like I'm really meddling in other people's business..."

Although she said this, she sat next to me and leaned her soft back against mine.

——What on earth is going on with this person?

I felt curious inside, but since I had very little experience in making friends, I didn't know how to reject her.

"I...I have something else to do, I'll leave first..."

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry? I came here to discuss something with you..."

"What's the matter? I'm very busy, don't disturb me..."

I glanced away, trying not to let this guy see my eyes which were already a little red.

"Well, let's sit down and talk..."
