But at that very instant, three dry ice bullets suddenly appeared behind Mio and shot toward her!
"Was that... Bala?!"
Goze Mio was instantly alarmed.
She hurriedly manipulated her CAD to cast movement magic, dodging the dry ice bullets.

The practice ground, which had been reinforced several times, instantly split open with several massive cracks, and countless grains of sand erupted from them.
There might not have been seawater, but how could strategic-class magic
