An outcast dropout, surviving on the frontier and rising to become an S-ranked counter-magician.

Is it over?

Yeah, I'm done.

There was a large amount of blood caked on her body. The fresh blood still dripping tells you that this horrific scene is still fresh. Claudia then licks the blood from her lips with a peroration. The bewitching figure was no longer human.

'What about the aftermath?'

Well, I'll play it straight. Besides, I want to keep using this facility.

Roger that.

Speaking of which, what's your name?

It was the demon she was talking about at that time. It seems that he is good at nature-changing magic of all kinds, and now he is in this box garden in a fully human form. He had just come because Claudia was going to make things happen. He had sneaked into the Boundary City a few times before, but this time he was fully dressed as a human since it was going to be a long shot. And the two of them once again tell each other their names.

'I am Silas. You can call me whatever you want to call me.

Silas. I'm Claudia. It's nice to meet you.

And so their long, long, plan drew to a close.

◇

First of all, he needed to reach a reasonable position to make it easier to act in the army. If possible, a special grade anti-magician would be a good idea. They concluded that, but the question was how to get there. To put it bluntly, if it was in its current state, it was strong enough to become a special class anti-magician, but if two such beings suddenly appeared out of the blue, it would be suspicious.

The existence of Hakoniwa is also thought to be completely concealed, but even so, there is a possibility that their whereabouts could be discovered from rumors and other sources. So the two of them started by disguising their household registration and entering the Counter-Magic Academy. This means a very long term plan. They would enter the Counter-Magic Academy, where they would gradually rise to prominence and enter the Special Class Counter-Magic Academy.

The two of them also had other things to do. It was the presence of three people other than Claudia. A survivor in that research facility. It was not a researcher, but a being just like her. An artificially created human. No, I don't know if I can call it a human, but for now, its successful body will have to wait for awakening. Then Claudia and Silas left those three in an orphanage. What kind of life those three would lead from now on they started to monitor their movements all the time as well.

'.........Hey, can Silas be placed in a normal home?

Hmm?　Oh I'm special. Ordinary demons can't do this. Above all, this human-created warding is extremely excellent. It's impossible for an ordinary demon race to penetrate them.

Huh but you need to break through these wards, right?

'As far as the future goes, yes,'

The two of them were talking about their plans in the box garden. What they needed to accomplish was to free the Sefirot Tree. But there are conditions for that. In order to meet them, they also need to meet a number of additional factors. The fact that the two of them are hiding in the Counter Demon Academy as students is part of that. And the biggest factor, those three......The two of them were pondering what to do with him in particular.

''Well come to think of it, can't we use the other one?　Those are twins, right?

After analyzing it, we found out that her sister can't be used in the Sefirot Tree, but we couldn't bear to lose her, so we sent her home. But we didn't want to keep it, so we sent it home.

Hmm. You're going to raise me as a witch?

Yeah.

You're half-human, right?

Well, if it's going to kill you, that's all that matters.

Okay.

Life is not precious to both of us. Everything is just a tool to fulfill a purpose. And so they began to move. In order to fulfill their purpose....

And so a few years passed--.

'Claudia-chan........well.......congratulations......on becoming a special class anti-magician.... ...Wow, I'm happy too?

'Ha, Belle, you're the same as always! But thank you. I'll continue to do my best for the sake of humanity!

Well that's good to hear, that's good to hear, so...

Yes!

Military Quarters. Claudia and Silas both became soldiers, and Silas quickly became the strongest of the human race. He ranked first in the hierarchy of special class anti-magicians. But that's as it should be. It's obvious that he is a witch, so he is no match for a human being. Besides, being ranked number one in the hierarchy would expand the range of things he could do.

Claudia, on the other hand, did not show much of her true value. Even so, she was still able to reach the position of a special class anti-magician. She also possessed the blood of the demon race in her body, so she was normally more powerful than humans in every way. However, she would never fully show it. Furthermore, for the day to come she would do whatever it took.

Right now she's talking to Belle, but this personality is an acquired one. Originally Claudia was a cool, calm and intelligent woman, but she put on the mask of being a bright woman. To ensure that everything is in order, Silas and Claudia do their best to make sure everything is in order. And then the day came. Yes, the day to banish Julia to the twilight.

"...and the money will be in hand.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Of course. In advance. So, are we all set?

'Ha, yes. So I should just pretend to be separated from Julia?

Oh. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do in that situation, but don't let anyone else find out.

Okay, I understand.

Silas had changed his own appearance, voice quality, and everything else that brought him into contact with Dan. He understands Julia's environment. A fallen counter-magician. And she grew up with a gentle nature. But it's not enough. He needs a harsher environment to encourage his awakening. And so Silas made contact with Dan and completed all the arrangements.

Thus, Julia is banished to the twilight.
