Konbini Ossan Volume 8 Chapter 7 — Yuki Nishina
A number of spells great enough to be called a saturation attack flew toward Nishina.
Yet Nishina showed no sign of panic at all.
“«Magic Nullification»!”
The moment she declared it, she raised her shield.
Just before the countless spells converging on her could strike, they dispersed like smoke and vanished completely.
“W-What?!”
The elite soldiers had been caught completely off guard, their faces filled with shock.
However, they quickly regained their composure, and the vanguard soldiers rushed toward Nishina all at once.
Even during this, Shōzō’s gunfire provided constant cover, so only the few who managed to slip through were able to close the distance to Nishina.
Normally, tank-type fighters tend to have high endurance but low resistance to magic attacks.
Conversely, those strong against magic are usually weak to physical attacks.
In other words, most have either magic or physical attacks as a weakness.
And since Nishina was clearly strong against magic, it would be common sense to assume she was weak to physical attacks.
That was why the elite soldiers were convinced of victory the moment their vanguard closed in.
Unfortunately for them, that assumption was wrong.
“Take this!”
“Hmph! «Magic Nullification»!”
One soldier launched an attack, which Nishina blocked with her shield.
At the same time, she activated «Magic Nullification» once more.
“W-What?! M-My strength—!?”
“Haaah!”
The soldier suddenly swayed, his body lurching unsteadily as if all his strength had drained away.
Nishina rammed him through her shield, sending him flying.
This was Nishina’s true forte: nullifying buffs by applying «Magic Nullification» directly to her opponent.
Normally, anyone with a certain amount of magic power unconsciously activates some degree of physical enhancement through magic during combat.
If that enhancement is considered a type of magic effect, then naturally it becomes a valid target for «Magic Nullification».
And when an opponent suddenly loses their physical enhancement buff, they experience a sensation as if their strength has vanished, lose their balance, and can be knocked away with ease.
“Damn it!”
“Then take this!”
“Oraa!”
Next, three soldiers targeted Nishina simultaneously.
Their intent was to overwhelm her through sheer pressure by attacking all at once.
However, Nishina did not budge in the slightest at this level of assault.
“That’s naïve!”
Gakin!
With a sharp clang, Nishina’s shield effortlessly stopped the simultaneous attacks of all three.
The elite soldiers’ eyes widened in disbelief at her defensive power, which far exceeded their expectations.
And that was only natural, given her status.

━━━━━━━━━━
Yes, in terms of stats, she is a fully physical-type tank.
In fact, because she nullifies magic attacks with her skill, her magic stat has grown rather poorly by comparison.
I once asked her why her strength and endurance had increased so dramatically.
Her answer at the time was;
“Even when I cling to Saori, she peels me off right away these days. I worked hard so that wouldn’t happen.”
(E/N: 😂 Ren Yamai alert! The girl from Komi Can't Communicate! 😂)
Indeed, [Saint] Mimori Saori, has stats approaching S rank.
If Nishina has been training to cling to someone like that without being shaken off, it’s no surprise her strength and endurance grew.
Why she chose that particular method of training, however, remains a mystery.
“Get blown away! «Magic Nullification»!”
Nishina activated «Magic Nullification» once more, sending all three elite soldiers flying at the same time.
“Damn it!”
“Not done yet! Freeze!”
She followed up by casting an ice spell.
Rather than focusing on destructive power, it was a spell designed to hinder the enemy’s movement.
It froze and numbed the bodies of a wide area of enemies, making it difficult for them to move.
As a result, the vanguard, already suppressed by Shōzō, found their mobility further restricted.
With the vanguard suppressed, Shōzō was able to concentrate his gunfire on disrupting the rear guard’s spellcasting.
The elite soldiers were now doing nothing but taking hits, seemingly without even the leeway to counterattack.
