[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 36: I-I will try hard!

...****************...

The air trembled due to the sound of cheers from the audience seats, the people inside the arena had their hands trembling while holding weapons, and sweat all over their bodies even though the temperature there had already dropped greatly.

The culprit behind it all was of course Olivia who was currently surrounded by many people at once, she exuded a cold aura that was difficult to approach.

A few ice spines actually protruded above the brownish ground.

Olivia raised her rapier in a ready-to-pierce position, with her usual cold eyes.

Some people advance while raising their weapons to attack Olivia, but Olivia kicks the ground and glides at high speed towards the enemy.

Stabbing her rapier several times, Olivia also used ice magic to attack the surrounding area.

She could have won easily if she used her own original skill, but Noelle had asked Olivia to hold back a little, that was of course so that Olivia could familiarize herself with all types of attacks.

He had to fight at short distances using a sword, as well as using ice magic to cover the gap.

Although it is not a problem at all because Olivia has the skill 《Clairvoyance》 which makes her able to see the full 360 degrees.

Olivia continued kicking the ground and kicking everyone in front of her, now there were only six people left. Some bodies(?) piled on the ground with puncture marks and body parts frozen.

The remaining six people stared at Olivia vigilantly, but Olivia's eyes remained cold. A man with a large sword ran while dragging his sword behind to attack Olivia.

Running, and instantly slashing and by utilizing the momentum from the greatsword, the man spun around and attacked Olivia, but Olivia calmly took out the ice wall from the ground and blocked the attack.

"I don't understand his movements at all …"

Charlotte dumbfoundedly commented on Olivia's fighting style, beside her was Noelle who was watching it with a smile.

"It was Olivia's fighting style .. By including a melee attack using a sword while closing the gap with a long-range attack using magic"

Noelle calmly explained.

"Is that really possible? Aren't you going to have no time to build magic constructs while fighting such close quarters? I thought only holy knights could do it"

"Indeed it's quite difficult to divide your consciousness like that, you need time to cast magic, and you also have to do that with an incredible level of focus, too, but Olivia and I have the skill 《Instant Cast Magic Manipulation》, so we can easily activate magic just by expecting the spell, rather than that .. What do you mean by holy knight? "

Noelle asked in a tone of astonishment.

"Eh? You didn't know that? "

This time Charlotte was stunned.

"Ahh forget .. Don't tell me now, I'll find out later with Olivia .. Hmm? "

Not finishing her words, Noelle turned her face and looked at a man wearing a robe and holding a wooden stick.

"What's up Noelle? "

Charlotte asked curiously, but Noelle did not answer. The curious Charlotte looked straight into Noelle's eyes.

"… A witch? "

There's nothing special about that. Think Charlotte.

"… He will fire an attack, but .. What spell is that? … It should be the fire element …"

Noelle muttered and made Charlotte even more curious.

"Will he fire an attack? But I don't see a magic circle? "

Charlotte asked curiously while tilting her head when she saw the man.

"No, not yet .. Her construction has not really been formed... She is still in the stage of imagining what magic she will use"

"Eh?! How do you know that?! "

Charlotte asked in surprise.

"Me and Olivia have the skill《Mana Detection》, that skill makes me able to feel the magic power around .. And I feel that it is very strong that he is collecting"

Charlotte only listened to Noelle's explanation in astonishment while Noelle narrowed her eyes unsettled as she looked at the man. In the arena also seen Olivia squinting her eyes suspiciously.

"Doesn't that mean he's going to use powerful magic? Does that not matter? "

Charlotte asked worriedly, she subconsciously started to worry about Olivia after seeing Noelle's actions.

Realizing that, Noelle simply smiled wryly and explained to Charlotte.

"It doesn't matter .. What makes me curious is that neither I nor Olivia have ever felt this magic before"

"Feeling ... Eh? "

Charlotte was confused, Noelle explained.

"You know, every magic must have a different construction? Well, based on that ... Which amount is needed to activate it is also different"

"In the end, what are you trying to explain? "

Charlotte was getting impatient.

"Hahh .. So this way, every magic must have a different construction, so the amount of magic required is also different, if you have mana detection skills, then, you will feel a certain sensation when there is an activation of magic around you .. The sensation is also always different based on what magic you use, if it comes from the same element, the sensation given tends to be similar ... But if it is noticed in more detail, it is different"

"Uh .. Hu …"

Charlotte was getting more confused, ignoring him, Noelle continued to explain.

"Either I nor Olivia have a fairly high affinity in all element types, be it the main element or the combined and advanced element .. Although I am not very good with it, that's why Olivia and I have 'tried' all the magic we know .. Offensive and defensive magic, we've tried everything we know, we know, so Olivia and I actually remembered all the sensations of the activation of the magic .. But the magic that the man was wearing .. I and Olivia did not know about it, based on the vague reaction of the magic, it was supposed to be a fire element based offensive magic"

"………"

Charlotte doesn't understand. After all, the thought of him having to remember something so vague as a feeling or sensation, it was a crazy thing on his mind.

He was raised in a noble family with quite a high class, so it was only natural that the common sense of the world had already completely stuck to him. But not with Noelle and Olivia, they are not at all bound to the common sense of this world, judging things based on their own views, but still considering the situation of reality in the world, he said, this is crazy stuff for Charlotte.

Charlotte thought that in her head while watching Olivia fight in the arena.

"ah! I saw the magic circle"

Charlotte muttered spontaneously while Noelle narrowed her eyes.

(It was really a magic circle I had never seen)

Olivia also notices that and intends to attack with ice magic, but the man chants his magic spell just before Olivia's magic reaches her.

"《Tornado Blaze》! "

The flames started to rage, forming a vortex on the ground and soaring into the sky, melting all of Olivia's ice.

The man who fired the magic instantly fell unconscious after firing his magic. It seemed like men drained every ounce of magic power of his to form those fire tornadoes.

Based on the amount given, the firestorm should be active for approximately 5 minutes.

"… Isn't that the highest level of fire elemental offensive magic? "

Charlotte asked as she tilted her head and made Noelle even more confused.

"Charl .. You know that? "

"Eh? Of course"

Charlotte asked Noelle with an expression that seemed to say 'why are you asking that? '.

Noelle fell silent, she thought for a moment and finally asked Charlotte.

"Just to be sure, when was this magic created or introduced? "

Noelle asked in a voice full of doubt.

"When ... If it's not wrong .. It was 25 years ago …"

Charlotte answered while checking her memories.

"25 years .. Exactly 10 years before we are reborn .. Then it all makes sense, there is no grimoire about magic in the village, he said, and all the books in the vampire castle should be 700 years old or older …"

Noelle started to mutter. Charlotte looked at him for a moment, but she immediately turned her gaze to look at Olivia who was in the arena.

The ice he created started to melt and became gradually boiling. There are still a few more people standing there.

They suddenly put on black robes and attacked Olivia all-out from up close.

"So …"

Noelle muttered understandingly and made Charlotte curious.

"They .. had planned this siege before the fight began"

"Eh?! "

At Noelle's sigh of admiration, Charlotte was surprised and frantically called Noelle.

"H-hey, isn't that against the rules? Is Ayano ... Olivia okay? "

Charlotte anxiously asked Noelle. It seems like she is still not too used to calling Olivia by a new name.

It was natural, in his previous life, Charlotte .. Or Nitta was one of the few people who could meet Olivia, or Ayano.

"Don't worry, a fire with such a temperature won't bother Olivia, after all .. Since we are vampires, we don't have a fixed temperature and can manipulate body temperature as we please, because that's why … The fire won't work on her, it'll only hinder her because Olivia's ice magic will instantly melt... See"

Saying that, Noelle raised her finger and pointed at Olivia. Charlotte who was looking from the side could only stare in surprise.

And as Noelle said, Olivia who was locked inside the fire tornado did not even move her eyebrows in the slightest, it certainly made everyone watching, even the other participants become shocked.

Olivia was confused for a moment and took advantage of their moment of shock to run quickly and thrust her rapier at the enemy.

A man with a spear attacked him from behind, but Olivia casually moved her leg avoiding the stab and gave the man a spinning kick that held the spear.

The fire tornado was still burning, so Olivia could not use ice magic, and Olivia decided to use the melee combat style using the sword as the only way.

The last opponent stood some distance away from her, but Olivia still did not move, but instead took the spear lying on the ground, and.

His actions were so unexpected for everyone even Charlotte, only Noelle knew this. Olivia has a habit of throwing weapons if she is too lazy to run towards the enemy.

Throwing your weapon at the enemy might sound crazy and extravagant, but Noelle and Olivia are the warehouses that store thousands of weapons in their spatial storage.

Just losing a single weapon was not a problem .. Precisely Noelle could probably be called the most extravagant person for using all those weapons as disposable weapons for her original skill.

"………"

When hearing that explanation from Noelle, Charlotte who was watching from the side could only be dumbfounded.

"Look, they're done"

Noelle returns to talk and pulls Charlotte back to reality.

As Noelle said, Olivia managed to come out victorious.

"Next is your turn, isn't it Charl? "

"My turn after my afternoon break"

Charlotte calmly replied Noelle.

"Then, let's go meet Olivia and get the hell out of here"

"… Okay"

Noelle and Charlotte calmly walked down the stairs and met Olivia who was standing in front of the entrance gate of the arena.

"Olivia, good work~"

"Nn~ You can praise me more"

When Noelle praised Olivia, Olivia could not help but smile and immediately jumped onto Noelle's chest and acted spoiled towards her.

"Good good~ good work~"

"Nn~"

Noelle with a small smile patted Olivia's head and stroked her. Olivia also enjoyed it as she closed her eyes and smiled comfortably.

"Can you stop doing that in public?! "

Charlotte started to rebel because she couldn't stand that pink atmosphere, she shouted with a red hue on her face.

Although she did not understand the feelings of others well, Charlotte still understood a lot about the relationship between a man and a woman.

Everyone around them looked at them with warm gazes and embarrassed Charlotte.

"Ahaha, alright .. Now we better go to the library for a while"

Noelle spoke with a wry smile as she removed her hand from Olivia's head. That made Olivia pout a little.

They walked quietly until a little boy finally hit Noelle.

"Hmm? "

"Ah-sorry …"

The girl started to cry a little, it made Noelle's conscience become a little hurt, so she crouched down and asked the girl.

"What's the little girl? Are you lost? "

"Uuu-i-mu …"

The girl began to shed tears.

"Alright, don't cry .. This is for you"

Noelle gently stroked the girl's head and took out a caramel candy from her pocket.

Caramel candy was made by Olivia when she was free, Olivia also has a hobby to make snacks, so they have a lot.

"This is for me? "

The girl asked with a slight sob, she looked at the caramel and looked very eager.

"Of course, you can have it as long as you don't eat it too much or your teeth will hurt"

"Thank you brother! "

Receiving the candy from Noelle, the girl smiled brightly as she stuffed the candy into her mouth.

(Looks like a little animal)

Noelle smiled, but she suddenly realized the whereabouts of someone running towards them. Noelle turned to look at that and found a woman with an anxious face.

"Hana! "

"Hm? Mother-in! "

When the name was shouted, the girl .. Hana immediately turned to a woman who turned out to be her mother.

Hana ran and hugged her mother right then and there.

"Well, next time don't let your son out of your sight .. This city is big enough, it'll be a problem if he goes missing"

Noelle warned the woman with a small smile on her face.

"Thank you"

The woman bowed and thanked him and turned to leave, but Hana stopped and turned to Noelle.

"Sister! Whatis yourname? "

"Hm? Ahh, I'm Noelle .. Noelle Lynneheim, see you again little girl"

Noelle smiled warmly at Hana and turned to leave them.

"Noelle .. You're very kind to children"

Charl commented.

"I love kids enough, even though they're a little noisy, but they're really cute"

Noelle with a small smile replied. Olivia who heard that instantly had a reddened face for some reason.

"What's up Olivia? "

"Noelle .. Do you want a child? "

"……… HA? "

Silent for a moment, Noelle slowly began to digest Olivia's words.

"If Noelle wants it .. A-I'll try hard! "

Olivia spoke in a soft voice while stroking her stomach, then she spoke excitedly while clenching her fists into the air.

Silent once again, Noelle began to imagine it.

He was tired after working all day, returned home and was greeted by Olivia who was wearing an apron .. Then a little boy came from behind and shouted 'Welcome back papah! '.

Imagining that, Noelle finally bled out from her nose.

"I-I'll hold back for now, it's too soon"

She spoke stutteringly, Olivia smiled at him while chuckling while Charlotte looked at them from the side in astonishment.

"… Can you have children? "

He asked, making Noelle and Olivia look at him then replied.

"It shouldn't matter, even though we've become vampires, our body structure isn't much different from humans"

"Mrs"

At least it was their hope~
