chapter 4

Fat chance...!' Takeshi thought, channeling magic through his body. He then summoned a magic circle in front of him, casting his spell. "Electrical Fuzz!" Takeshi shot forth a magical attack in the form of a small white orb with electricity pouring out of it. The Fallen Angel was caught off guard by his abilities as a Magician but soon blocked the attack with her spear. The attack impacted, causing sparks to fly everywhere, blinding the Fallen Angel for a bit.

"Gah!? A Magician!?" the Fallen Angel exclaimed in surprise, before she scowled. "Hmph! Looks like you just made it harder for me to kill you then! Fine! Let's see how long you'll last!" the Fallen Angel shouted as she swung her arms to dispel the spell, but the spell soon took form of a small spark ball that just flew around her. She gave a grunt of annoyance, seeing as to how she cannot get rid of it. But she soon threw her spear towards the target.

Seeing the incoming spear, Takeshi just raised his hands and hoped that it'll work. He then channeled magic into the spell, causing a magic barrier to form in front of him. The attack soon impacted, and it caused both spear and shield to shatter on impact. Takeshi jumped back a little at the shatter, and decided to cast his spell once more.

"Cast on Beat!" Takeshi casted spell on himself. It was a self-reinforcement spell that will help speed up his magic process. While this spell was considered a bit useful to Magicians, Magicians themselves don't generally use it, considering that a spell takes 2-3 seconds to cast a normal spell. However, Takeshi uses this self-reinforcement spell to his advantage.

"Pulse Bullet!" Takeshi then formed another magic circle in front of him, this time the magic circle poured out a lot of magic this time. Magic bullets came out like a machine gun, rapidly firing them at a non-stop rate. The Fallen Angel saw the myriad of bullets and immediately saw that it was dangerous to stay in its path. Each bullet looked weak, but a whole barrage? Not smart to test it out.

The Fallen Angel flew into the air, while Takeshi directed the magic circle to aim at the flying Fallen Angel. As he did, all he did was narrow his eyes. "Why did I leave my staff at home today...?" Takeshi muttered to himself, before focusing on shooting down the Fallen Angel. The Fallen Angel cursed to herself, seeing how this shower of bullets is attempting to hit her.

"Damn you Magician!" the Fallen Angel cursed as she raised her spear. "Die!" the Fallen Angel attempted to throw the spear, but Takeshi raised another arm and a small magic circle appeared in front of it.

"Astral Bind!" the spell then casted froth magical threads from the ground, and immediately wrap themselves around her wrist. Her eyes widened upon the spell, and Takeshi made the threads pull on her wrist, making her aim of her spear go way off target. It was then Takeshi directed the magic circle towards her once more, and this time deliver the the barrage of magic bullets towards her.

The Fallen Angel screamed in pain as she was faced with the bullets attacking her. However, Takeshi soon felt that his magic reserves weren't going to last if he kept up this sort of spell. The combination of his Cast on Beat and Pulse Bullet will drain his reserves, so he ended the assault of his attack. The results was that the Fallen Angel was still flying in the air, but had a bit of wounds all over her due to the attack he performed.

"Damn you human! I'll make you pay for this!" the Fallen Angel attempted to retaliate, but was soon caught off guard as a magic circle of red popped out of nowhere. When the Fallen Angel saw this, she scowled.

"Tch! It seems that she's going to be here." the Fallen Angel muttered with an annoyed tone. She then turned to him with a scowl. "It seems that I'll grant you mercy this time Magician! But mark my words, this won't be the last time you'll escape alive!" the Fallen Angel shouted, before she flew away and went into a bright light.

Seeing the battle done, Takeshi gave a heavy sigh while collapsing onto his butt.

"Hah...I really should've brought my staff with me..." Takeshi muttered to himself while shaking his head. "Damn, and that was my first time using magic in real life combat. I don't know if this is just a fluke or luck..." Takeshi said with relief, before he turned to find the magic circle glowing brighter. It was then a familiar person came out of the magic circle, something that Takeshi knows as well, due to the reputation and the constant words he hear throughout the school.

It was a young women with light skin, blue-green eyes, and a had a rather voluptuous figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long, crimson red hair that reaches down to her thighs, with a ahoge. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. She also wore the standard Kuoh Academy female uniform.

This was Rias Gremory, the most popular girl at school. When she opened her eyes to see her surroundings, all she did was blink in surprise upon seeing the sight of him.

"Um...If I remember correctly, you are Takeshi Fuyushima?" Rias asked with a bit of surprise. Takeshi simply nodded at her.

"Urm, yeah..." Takeshi said, not knowing what else to say at this point, but just had one question in mind.

"Gremory-senpai, who exactly are you...?" Takeshi asked with confusion. Rias tilted her head at the question, before she gave a smile at him. It was then bat-like wings sprouted from her back, causing Takeshi to blink upon the sight.
