Konbini Ossan Volume 8 Chapter 08 — Misa Suzuno and Tomoe Kinoshita
Now that the enemy’s movements have stopped, it is time for Suzuno, the linchpin of magical offense, to take the stage.
“I’m going!”
Watching for the right timing, Suzuno unleashes an attack spell.
At the same time, Mayama and Nishina retreat, pulling back so they are not caught in the blast.
What Suzuno releases is wind magic. A violent attack spell in which blade-sharp winds rage like a tornado.
However, since this is a match with no killing allowed, it is not blades but rather gravel-like fragments of wind that whirl about.
A gigantic tornado engulfs the immobilized vanguard and continues on, raging violently as it reaches even the rear guard.
“GWAaaaah!”
“D-Defend!”
“No good, we won’t make it!”
Each person lets out a different cry as they are swallowed by the violent winds and blown away one after another.
Battered all over by countless shards of wind, most of those caught in the attack are knocked down.
Even so, a few still have enough strength to rise again, but Suzuno presses the attack further.
“ ‘Don’t move!’ ”
The instant Suzuno declares this, those who had been trying to stand up despite taking the spell all freeze in place, without exception.
“W-What is this?”
The elite soldiers are bewildered by the strange phenomenon of their bodies stopping against their will.
This is the result of Suzuno applying her skill «Charm Magic» in combat.
«Charm Magic» becomes extremely difficult to land on opponents who possess a certain amount of magical power.
So, to overcome that weakness, she releases «Charm Magic» together with an attack spell, forcibly driving it into the opponent’s body.
By doing so, even if only temporarily, the effects of «Charm Magic» can take hold of the enemy.
Right now, by using that very «Charm Magic» and issuing the command Don’t move, the elite soldiers have been rendered unable to stand.
Suzuno’s current status is as follows.
━━━━━━━━━━
【Name】Suzuno Misa
【Level】39
【Strength】C
【Magic】 B
【Stamina】C
【Speed】 C
【Attribute】Wind
【Skill】«Charm Magic»
━━━━━━━━━━
In terms of raw stats, she is equivalent to a B-rank adventurer, but her special technique of embedding «Charm Magic» into her attack spells is highly valued, and she is rated by the guild as an A-rank adventurer, on par with Mayama and Nishina.
“Guh… to think you’d go this far!”
Muttering so, the elite soldiers’ commander, an angel who appears to be their leader, shows his frustration plainly on his face.
At that moment, a single shadow approaches from behind him.
“That’s right. This far is as far as it goes.”
Saying this, the one who presses a sharp dagger to the leader’s neck and stops just short of taking his life is the guerrilla member of Brave Wings, Kinoshita-sensei, who possesses the «Assassination Arts» skill.
The skill «Assassination Arts» is a composite skill that combines multiple abilities such as «Stealth,» «Concealment,» and «Presence Diminishment».
Since each of these exists as a common skill on its own, it falls short of cheat-like composite skills such as [Hero] or [Saintess], but there is no denying that it boasts high versatility and performance.
This maneuver, too, was carried out by using multiple skills to erase her presence and slip behind the enemy at the very moment when everyone’s attention was focused on Suzuno’s attack magic.
Then, without revealing herself, she closed in on the angel who served as the general and subdued him with movements befitting the name of an assassin.
Kinoshita-sensei’s status is as follows.
━━━━━━━━━━
【Name】Kinoshita Tomoe
【Level】46
【Strength】B
【Magic】 C
【Stamina】B
【Speed】 A
【Attribute】Dark
【Skill】«Assassination Arts»
━━━━━━━━━━
Dark-attribute magic includes many supportive spells that conceal one’s form or disguise one’s presence, making it extremely compatible with the skill «Assassination Arts».
Including her stats, she is truly someone with outstanding aptitude worthy of being called an assassin.
“What will you do? Shall we continue like this?”
“N-No. I surrender.”
Asked by Kinoshita-sensei, the leader angel raises both hands and concedes defeat.
Thus, the first gate battle led by Brave Wings comes to an end safely, concluding in victory.

E/N:
Combining Charm Magic with an elemental, especially Wind Magic, that is capable of disorienting enemies, is freaking genius!
Wind magic, it reminds of Leon from a WN, "Who said Leon the Breeze?!"
It's currently being translated by Kaystls, go check it out, it's damn hilarious 🤣🤣!
