I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1333 - Mamo〇〇〇 ③

Chapter 1333 - Mamo〇〇〇 ③

When I asked Megiddo-san for a detailed explanation of this mental battle…… Megiddo-san’s answer was that I would understand when I experienced it.
[……Eehhh.]
[Well, it certainly is the best to experience it for yourself.]
[Ah~~ Kaito-san, it’s alright. You can leave the Mind Competition at any time you like.]
[Ahh, I see.]
In that case, I feel a little relieved. If I can escape at any time instead of not being able to return until the conclusion is reached, just as Megiddo-san said, it might be better if I just experience it.
However, hmmm. Mental battle huh. I don’t really see myself as strong at all…… but Megiddo-san seems to expect quite a bit from me, and I can feel that emotion from her.
For the time being, I guess I’ll just try my best…… If push comes to shove, I can just escape……
[Alright! Well then, let’s get this started.]
[Well then, Kaito-san, do your best. Incidentally, that thing seriously doesn’t listen to others, so if you think it’s impossible, you might as well give up quickly.]
For the time being, I’ll try it out myself, so Megiddo-san brought forth a complex magic circle at her feet and held her hand over me. Thereupon, a rather dazzling light was emitted, and seemingly as if absorbed within it, my consciousness sank within the light.
When I came to, I found myself standing in an arena. There were no spectators around, just a large arena.
“……Kaito, can you hear me?”
[Megiddo-san? Is this the Mind Competition?]
“Yeah, you’re somewhat in a state where you’re inside my mind. You can move your body without any problems, right?”
[Yes.]
“Then, let me give you a quick explanation. In the space of the Mind Competition, the strength of a person’s mind becomes your physical ability. Of course, at the time you feel weak, your physical ability will also decline, so be careful.”
[…………………..]
“Alright then, I’m going to remove a part of the seal in my destructive impulse, so I’m counting on you.]
[Eh? No, wait……]
Wait right there! This is somewhat different from what I was expecting…… I mean, this mental battle…… In the end, isn’t this just using your mental capabilities to beat up your opponent!? Wouldn’t that be no different from a normal battle then……
As I was feeling flustered, thinking that, a black fog appeared in front of me, and it morphed into Megiddo-san’s appearance…… Her true, female form.
The impulse’s appearance is almost the same as Megiddo-san herself, but there are these strange ring-like restraints on her body, and with her eyes glowing red, she’s snarling and threatening me with her bared fangs…… S- Scary……
“Then, let’s start.”
[……Eeehhhh.]
The moment Megiddo-san’s voice resounded, the Megiddo-san in front of me…… The destructive impulse fiercely rushed towards me. This is something obvious, but there’s no way that I, who’s never even gotten into a fight, can react to her actions, and the fist of the destructive impulse struck my face.
Ouch…… Ow…… Arehh? That doesn’t hurt at all, it felt more like a slight impact.
“As expected, your ability greatly exceeds the destructive impulse. Get for it, Kaito!”
[Eh? Ah, yes!]
I see, so with my mental power being converted to my physical power, even the untrained me would receive almost no damage from a punch of the destructive impulse huh…… T- Thank goodness. It didn’t end up being very painful……
Having such a thought in mind, I swing my fist to counterattack. I had punched at a speed that I can’t imagine could be unleashed by the real me…… but the destructive impulse side steps and slams its counterattack fist into my face.
Its attack dealt almost no damage to me, but there was still that slight impact, and while my head was knocked back, I sent out my fist to counterattack again…… but this time, it caught my hand and was sent flying with something that felt like a circular throw.
However, even when I was thrown to the ground, I still didn’t feel any pain. I don’t feel any pain but……
[……Errr, doesn’t it feel like it has good fighting skills?]
[Yeah, it is still one of my emotions after all. It would be on the same level as me when it comes to technique and other stuff like that.”
……I see, even though my physical ability was overwhelmingly better, the destructive impulse apparently possesses the same fighting skills as Megiddo-san…… Isn’t this impossible? No matter how much my physical ability has increased, isn’t it impossible for me to hit an opponent who has the same skill as Megiddo-san, who is a master in martial arts?
In the conversation up until now, we had been talking about making it surrender on the premise that I can win against it…… but in the first place, can I even win against it?
Ahh, I see, the people Megiddo-san had asked so far are Kuro and Alice, and they have exceptional combat skills…… but isn’t that something impossible for me then?
[Ouch!?]
“Kaito!? Don’t loosen up! If your way of thinking weakens, your abilities will decline!”
The strike unleashed by the impulse just now was quite painful. T- That’s right. My mentality is especially important here…… If I become weak-minded, feeling like I’m unable to win or that I think of this as impossible, my ability will decline……
What I should rather do here is to be strong enough that it couldn’t contend against me…… A- Alright, let’s get fired up!

? ? ? : [Well, I guess this would certainly happen. No matter how much physical ability you have, it’s meaningless if you don’t have the technique to make it hit. That being the case, the key here would be the character in the title huh?]
