The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

Unlike Explosion Magic and Burst Magic, Blast Magic is the most bizarre of the three independent magics.

Not only does learning Blast Magic require a whopping 50 skill points, but after learning it, it can't be used in dungeons because of its immense power. Moreover, the magic drains all of the magician's magic power and stamina, leaving them powerless after a single blast.

The teacher had told them more than once:

Blast Magic is comedy magic.

However, Blast Magic is also the strongest magic. Whether it's dragons, demons, gods, or demon kings, none can escape the fate of being annihilated. It can be said to be the last trump card that humanity possesses.

…Although I want to say that's an exaggeration, the fact remains that later, whether it was an evil god or a demon king, they all fell before the power of Blast Magic.

The shockwave from the explosion uprooted all the trees directly below the blast site. Yunyun screamed as she lay on the ground, protecting Komekko, while Megumin, completely unconcerned with the blasting air currents and the loud noise, laughed heartily.

Accompanied by a storm of immense magic power, the monsters that blotted out the sky vanished completely under that overwhelming and unreasonable force that no one could resist.

And then—

Megumin collapsed straight onto the ground.

When the smoke cleared and her vision returned, the numerous monsters that had filled the sky had vanished without a trace.

“T-This… what is this…?”

Yunyun squeezed the words out of her throat as if moaning: "This is Blast Magic? This can't be described with words like 'amazing' or 'powerful'... To have such power without a staff to control the magic power and enhance the power, no wonder it's called the strongest magic."

Witnessing the astonishing destructive power of Blast Magic, she seemed to understand why Megumin was so obsessed with this magic.

Honestly, Kazuma hadn't expected it either.

You have to know that Megumin's magic, which changed the terrain and annihilated all the monsters, actually only unleashed less than half of its original power.

This is true.

Any magician needs a magic staff that can help channel their magic power and enhance the power of their magic. However, where could she find a magic staff for her to use in that emergency?

“Megumin? Hey, Megumin!”

At this time, Megumin, as if her wish had been fulfilled, passed out with a completely burned-out expression, scaring Yunyun into shouting.

Kazuma went forward and discovered that she had only fallen asleep due to excessive consumption of magic power and stamina and that there was nothing seriously wrong with her. It was probably because she had been tense the whole time until she learned the magic and defeated the monster army, and then she lost consciousness after relaxing.

He and Yunyun guarded her there.

The adults in the village, after spotting the towering cloud of smoke from the explosion, rushed over and gave the three of them a good scolding.

No, two of them.

At this time, Megumin was sound asleep, and only Kazuma and Yunyun were being scolded.

During that time, the fact that Megumin had learned Blast Magic was concealed by the teacher, but the headmaster and the others already knew that she had learned magic and that Yunyun had learned intermediate magic. Then, the teacher told the two of them that because they had learned magic, they would be graduating, so their graduation ceremony would be held on the weekend.

Kazuma also thought about graduating at the same time, but he held back after being persuaded by the teacher.

Now, a new problem has occurred in the village.

The three were, as usual, killing time at the wishing pond. Yunyun said with a worried expression: “Megumin, what should we do? The teacher said that the seal of the puppet and goddess of revenge whose name has been forgotten has been broken! The place where the seal was located is where Megumin released her magic. After the seal was broken, the goddess disappeared. What should we do? I said, what should we do!”

She desperately shook Megumin's shoulders, while Megumin was avoiding reality as if her brain had crashed.

The adults in the village said that it was the evil god whose seal had been broken who awakened the nameless goddess and challenged her, and then the goddess was victorious in the battle. The explosion swept away the evil god's servants and then disappeared… Even though they all said that, they, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn't pretend not to know.

Megumin had already told him everything.

For example, that Komekko helped break the seal, that the monster army came to find Chomusuke, and that Chomusuke might be the evil god's other half… and so on.

Oh no, I have to use my brain.

Kazuma also felt a headache after hearing this.

“It doesn't matter, does it, this kind of thing?”

He also waved his hand as if giving up and said: “Anyway, no one was hurt this time, and the matter ended successfully. Even if the truth is different, but since the people in the village have accepted it, let's just leave it at that.”

In fact, the villagers just thought that the story of the evil god's servants fighting the goddess of revenge was very cool and interesting, so they said that they should just treat it that way.

“That's the only way.”

Yunyun isn't a righteous prosecutor either, and she's the type who would do anything for her friends, so concealing the truth is a trivial matter for her.

…There's no intention to praise her here.

Yunyun looked at the black kitten in Megumin's arms and tilted her head with a complicated expression: “In the end, what is Chomusuke? Why were the monsters all targeting it at that time? Could it have something to do with the evil god? Furthermore, why was the evil god's seal broken?”

I forgot, Yunyun is also a very smart honor student. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to have figured out the key to the matter.

That's right, normally, no one would think that it was a child's curiosity that broke the seal. If Megumin hadn't caused the same problem in the past, she probably wouldn't have suspected Komekko either.

It can only be said that like sister, like sister.

Megumin originally wanted to scold Komekko, but when she saw her sister innocently handing her the fragment and asking her if she wanted to play with it, she couldn't say anything.

In the end, because no one was hurt, Komekko wasn't scolded either.

Congratulations, Coca-Cola.

“I say!”

Megumin suddenly turned her head, looked at Kazuma, and said: “Now that Yunyun and I have graduated, what are you going to do? …No, I've realized that you're very cunning, Kazuma, you're still enjoying the benefits of the school!”

“What does it have to do with me? I clearly told you not to leave home, didn't I?” Kazuma rolled his eyes.

“Chomusuke was snatched away by a monster that fell from the sky, and Yunyun insisted on saving it!”

“S-Sorry…”

Yunyun lowered her head bashfully.

Why did the two go to the forbidden area? In short, it was because Yunyun's sympathy overflowed. When the black kitten was snatched away, she wanted to save it. Megumin had no choice but to follow along, so the two ended up in the forbidden area and happened to meet the missing Komekko.

“Sigh… Actually, I also wanted to graduate at the same time, but the teacher stopped me.”

Because he wouldn't be able to return to school after graduating and wouldn't be able to enjoy any of the conveniences that the school provided, the teacher couldn't bear to let such an excellent talent as Kazuma leave the school halfway. Also, seeing that he had the intention of graduating, the teacher crammed all the necessary knowledge into him these past few days.

Even Kazuma, who had super high intelligence and even the ability to memorize everything he saw, recalled the long-lost fear of being dominated by cramming education.

He couldn't help but shiver.

Yunyun expressed her sympathy, and Megumin gloated.

“What about you two? Do you have anything to do after graduating?”

Kazuma asked.

Yunyun thought for a moment and said: “I'll probably take over the position of clan chief. Those trials… I thought my father was joking, but I didn't expect them to be real.”

Her expression was very complicated.

Megumin puffed out her chest and said: “I'm going to practice Blast Magic every day and become one of the most powerful Blast Magic users in the Crimson Demons! Then I'm going to become an adventurer, defeat the Demon King, and become the new Demon King!”

“Ah, is that so? Good luck to you.”

“So cold!?”

She seemed to be somewhat displeased with Kazuma's rather cold attitude.

One of the three was going to become a clan chief, one was going to become the new Demon King, and one was going to become a student. They all had bright futures.

And then—

Early the next morning, there was a knock on his door. After opening the door, he found Megumin kneeling down in front of his door, prostrating herself completely and shouting loudly:

“—Please, take me in!”

“…Ah!?”
