"That's right! Now that Scarlet is stronger, I should be able to defeat it!" Cire decred, her fidence renewed.
....
Cire ted the intation to release her Elemental Waffe. A fiery red whip materialized in her hand.
Through her Elemental Waffe, she could wield a fra of Scarlet's power.
However, it ed her "divine power," which was essentially magic.
"Haa!" Cire shouted, leaping into the air.
She shed out with the fming whip, striking the rock giaedly.
Stone fragments and dust filled the air.
"Bzing Inferno!"
After a series of strikes, Cire unleashed aal Magic spell with her left hand.
A massive fireball hurtled towards the rock giant.
Boom!
The fireball exploded against the giant's face.
"I did it!" Cire excimed, surprised by her success.
"Damn it! How did Cire bee s?" Ri grumbled.
Cire's attacks were incredibly powerful. Ri knew she couldn't replicate them.
But Cire wasn't usually this strong. What had caused this sudden increase in power?
"Don't celebrate too early, Cire. It's not over yet," Roy warned.
"What? How?" Cire couldn't believe it. Scarlet's restored strength had boosted her fidence, making her a bit overfident.
But just as she spoke...
ROAR!!!!
The rock giant roared, the fmes dissipating as it gred at Cire with its crimson eyes.
Cire froze.
Ri, however, reacted quickly. She summoned her owal Waffe, an ice bow, and aimed it at the giant.
"Cire, snap out of it! Attack!" she shouted.
Cire finally snapped back to reality.
"One more time, and I'll definitely defeat it!" she told herself.
The rock giant swung its massive hand at them.
This time, they were prepared and dodged the attack.
Roy, carrying Carol, leaped to a safe distao observe the fight.
"Roy-sama, please help them! Lady Ri and Cire-sama 't defeat that Demonic Spirit alone," Carol pleaded, looking at Roy with worry.
She khat only this mysterious man could save her mistress.
"Don't worry, Carol. I'll intervene if necessary. But let them try first," Roy replied with a smirk.
Carol, though still anxious, could only trust his words.
Cire and Ri, having evaded the giant's attack, terattacked.
Cire shed out with her fming whip, targeting the giant's head.
Ri fired a barrage of ice arrows, aiming for the giant's joints to restrict its movements.
Despite their usual bickering, the two girls worked together seamlessly.
But then, the rock giant roared and stomped its foot.
The ground shook violently.
"Aah!" Cire and Ri lost their band fell.
The giant swung its massive hand, shattering the surrounding cliffs.
Carol gasped as she saw Cire and Ri about to be crushed.
Roy, however, remained calm. He extended his hand towards the girls.
A giant hand formed from magic materialized and pulled them to safety just as the rock giant's hand smmed into the cliff where they had been standing.
Boom!!!
The cliff crumbled.
"Are you twht?" Roy asked with a smile.
"W-We're fine," Cire stammered, still shaken by the close call and the fact that her attacks hadn't harmed the giant at all.
"Thank you for saving me," Ri said, staring at Roy with a mix of gratitude and curiosity.
This man had saved her three times now. She couldn't help but feel a strange e to him.
"But what about that Demonic Spirit?" Carol asked, looking at the approag giant with worry.
"I'll ha," Roy replied fidently.
It was time for him to show off his power.
Cire, Ri, and Carol watched expetly.
Roy smirked and raised his hand towards the sky.
They followed his gaze...
A massive k of ice materialized in the sky.
It expanded rapidly, transf into a colossal Hand that blotted out the sun.
Roy ched his hand.
The [Ice Hand] desded, grabbing the rock giant like a child pig up a toy.
Roy tightened his grip.
The [Ice Hand] crushed the giant.
ch! ch! ch!
The Rock Giant, hundreds of meters tall, was instantly pulverized.
Cire, Ri, and Carol were speechless, their eyes wide with shock.
"Wow! Onii- is amazing!" Kurome cheered, g her haedly.
Saya rolled her eyes. Roy could have easily defeated the giant with a simple attack, but he had to make a spectacle of it.
But she had to admit, it was quite impressive.
"H-He's s!"
"That was incredible!"
"As expected of Roy-sama!"
...
The girls were awestruck.
"Haha, it was nothing. Don't look at me like that," Roy chuckled, enjoying their admiration.
"Well, it's getting te. Let's head back."
He stretched and yawned.
They returo the academy.
Back at the vil, Roy found Rias and the others had already returned.
"Rias, how did it go? Did you find any potential servants?" he asked with a smile, sitting beside her on the sofa.
"There are many talented girls here. I have a few in mind, but I'm not sure how to approach them," Rias admitted.
"Who are they?"
"Ellis Fahrengart, the leader of the Sylphid Knights."
"I heard her adopted sister, Velsaria Eva Fahrengart, is also quite strong."
"And Fianna Ray Ordesia, the former sed princess of the Ordesia Empire."
"Of course, I'm also sidering how to persuade Headmaster Greyworth."
"And the teachers here aren't bad either!" Rias rattled off a list of names, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
...
...
There were simply too many talented girls in this academy.
The ones Rias mentioned were among the stro and most talented.
Most of them were main characters from the inal story.
However, sihe protagonist in this timeline hadn't ied the Dark Elemental Lord's power, he wasn't present at the academy.
But Roy was surprised that Fianna was still here.
In the inal story, Fianna had e to this academy specifically to defeat the protagonist and win the Bde Dance.
But now, she had already enrolled in Areishia Spirit Academy.
It seemed Roy's as had caused a butterfly effect.
"To recruit them, you'll o be patient and appeal to their desires," Roy advised.
"From what I know, Velsaria is eager for power. That could be an opportunity."
Velsaria was ialented.
Roy remembered her mostly for her resembo Mikoto Misaka from 'A Certain Magical Index'.
Just like in the inal story, she had been easily defeated in the Bde Dance.
However, unlike in the inal story, she had lost to another red-haired girl this time.
This meant she would likely still follow the same path as in the inal story and impnt a cursed seal on herself to gain power.
This could be their ce.
"Just quer them with your strength. It's only natural for the strong to rule the weak," Esdeath suggested with a smirk.
Rias frowned.
She didn't want to foryoo bee her servant.
"That's not a bad idea," Roy said, surprisingly agreeing with Esdeath.
"Eh? Why?" Rias looked at him in fusion.
"Velsaria is different from others. She used to be a kind ale person, though a bit serious," Roy expined.
"But after her defeat in the Bde Dance, she became obsessed with power, even willing to go astray."
"So, using force to subdue her might not be a bad approach."
"Really?" Rias was intrigued.
"Yes, but I suggest waiting a bit longer," Roy added.
Rias gred at him but nodded in agreement.
Roy had his reasons fgesting they wait.
Without experieng the sequences of the cursed seal, Velsaria wouldn't uand that her reckless pursuit of porong.
...
...
The day, Roy went to css with Nezuko and Makomo, hoping to learn more about Elemental Waffes.
He happeo enter Cire and Ri in the .
The two girls, seeing him enter, rushed over and sat beside him.
"Ahem, Roy-san, I've prepared a delicious lunch. Would you like to join me?" Ri asked with an expet look.
"What? But I brought my own lunch today," Cire retorted, her fidence faltering.
If her lunch wasn't always burnt to a crisp, she might have been more assertive.
But when it came to cooking, she had to admit that Ri was better.
"How about we all have lunch at my pce?" Roy suggested.
Shizuka and Saeko were preparing lunch at the vil.
If he didn't go back, they would be upset.
Cire and Ri exged gnces.
"Sure."
"That would be lovely. Thank you for the invitation."
Ri wouldn't refuse a personal invitation from Roy.
And Cire was simply tempted by the delicious food she had enjoyed yesterday.
The other students in the gossiped, seeing Cire and Ri ag so friendly with the new male student.
"Did you see that? The younger sister of the 'Camity Queen' is getting close to that man!"
"Is she trying to seduce him for prote?"
"No, look, the Laurenfrost heiress is also getting close to him."
"Are they peting for his attention?"
"I wouldn't gossip about them. After all, he ersonally invited by the Headmaster."
The teacher lectured, while the students whispered amongst themselves.
Cire and Ri didn't hear their whispers.
Roy, however, overheard them but igheir gossip.
...
At lunchtime, Roy returo the vil with Cire and Ri.
"Wele back, Roy-kun!" Shizuka and Yuriko greeted them with smiles, dressed in maid outfits.
"Roy-san's maids are so adorable!" Ri ented, pleased.
She was a maid fanatid believed that as long as a maid was cute, everything else was irrelevant.
"e in, everyone," Roy said with a smile.
He led them to the dining room.
"Roy, did you pick up these kouhais today?" Leone asked, eyeing the two girls curiously.
Roy rolled his eyes.
"Pick them up? You don't believe in my charm?" he retorted pyfully.
"e on in, you two. Don't be shy."
Cire and Ri were a bit nervous.
There were so many girls here, each with their own unique beauty and talents.
Although they sidered themselves exceptional, they felt a bit overshadowed in this pany.
But after sharing a meal together, they quickly warmed up to each other.
...
That afternoon, Roy visited Ri's room at her invitation.
"Please have a seat, Roy-sama. My dy is preparing some refreshments," Carol said, guiding him to a seat.
"It's strange. Why is Carol, the maid, here, while Ri is the one preparing refreshments?" Roy ehough he khe reason.
"Well..." Carol giggled awkwardly.
"A maid's only purpose is to be cute, right?" Ri chimed iering the room with a pte of beautifully decorated pastries.
"Ri, you spoil your maid too much," Roy said, shaking his head. He took a pastry and sampled it.
"How is it?" Ri asked, leaning closer, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"It's not bad," Roy replied with a nod.
"Really?" Ri was relieved.
Having tasted the food at Roy's pce earlier, she had felt a bit insecure about her own cooking, despite her usual fidence.
"Roy-san, I have a question for you," Ri said curiously.
"Sure, ask away," Roy replied, enjoying the pastries.
