Celestial Affinity

It was 5 years from now, when the girl known as Marina McDowell became [Special].

She was smarter than a normal child; she was also excellent in her school grades and physical abilities but all of it was within normal limits and at the very least, it was at the level where her mother could act proud in the legal guardian association or parent-child meetings.

Her forte subject was math. Her weak subject was English.

Her favorite food was gratin. Her hated food was celery.

Her future dream was----to be a cute wife.

The world was filled with common sense and no one would doubt that. If she performs things within her limits then her friends and the adults would praise her. She was not really conscious of whether or not that gentle world would continue forever.

But on that summer day, five years ago. Everything surrounding Marina changed. On that day. The scenery that came welcoming Marina when she returned back to the city was not her familiar city scenery, but rather a hellish scenery burning in crimson flames.

"Dad, Mom...!"

When Marina recalled back her parent's existence inside her house, she ran into the city wrapped in flames.

Thinking about it, it was an extremely reckless act. Even if Marina reaches back to her home, there was nothing she could do . However during that time, Marina was only thinking about checking her parent's safety.

Not long later after Marina reached home, her father was holding her mother by the shoulders while kicking opening the door of her burning house before coming outside.

At that time, Marina could only be relieved. Both her father and mother were alive. She was so happy she extended her hands to take her father's hand while tears were floating on her eyes.

However, at that moment.

"Eh?"

A light suddenly poured down from the sky and easily blew Marina's body away.

And------her parents were right under that light.

They became small bits, and it was unthinkable that they had the shape of a human just a moment ago.

"A-Ah.....ah...…..Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Marina was clattering her teeth while looking up at the sky.

The silhouette of a woman who released that light was there.

"Y-you…!! --The one who killed my parents. I won't forgive you.....! kill...I will kill you…..! I will-- --definitely...…!"

Raising a voice filled with resentment, Marina vowed her revenge.

That was Marina meeting with the Demon.

It became the starting point of a long destiny.

With that day as her boundary, Marina changed.

Since she had no other close relatives, she got taken into custody temporarily by a woman living nearby but----that woman was apparently previously related to RV Academy and, she was the reason for Marina's decision for her future life.

Her "Aunt", told her beforehand to keep this a secret from everyone else while telling Marina of a certain existence.

Beasts, Demons, Monsters. The creatures killing the world.

After that, Marina started becoming obsessed for knowledge and training.

There was only one reason. The Demon she saw that time. Find out its identity and kill it with her own hands.

The young Marina did not know the specific way to do so. That's why-----she frantically continued training herself. She trained her body and mind with a strictness which could be mistaken with the ones from a Shura or Rakshasa to prepare herself to be able to take action immediately when the day she tracked down her parent's killer comes.

Her forte subject was everything. There was no subject she was bad with. She mastered every knowledge and technique she could gather and completely destroyed the word [Impossible].

She no longer cared whether or not she had likes or dislikes for food from that time on wards. She only needed the adequate amount of nutrients to make a strong body and didn't care for anything else.

Her future dream-----was only towards killing that Demon.

Few years passed since then. Marina transferred to RV Academy by her aunt's referral, and she became a Magus after confirming that she had compatibility with a Light-type Celestial Dress.

Marina's training when she became an RV Academy student became even harsher.

The world was filled with irrationality and no one would try to oppose it. Her limits could not achieve her goals no matter how hard she tried. In order to live through that cruel world, she could only continue being strongly conscious about the things she should do and her own meaning of life.

But even so-----Even that Marina had moments when she can feel at ease.

Yes. It was the young boy she met at that time

Thinking back, the emotion she had might be more like reliance compared to deep affections.

Having lost both her parents, Marina was barely able to maintain her sanity thanks to his existence approaching her.

That's why-----he became an underlying cause, and even though she got hurt because of him, she had not once harbored any hatred towards him.

Now that she thought about it...…..Marina might have felt her limits.

Renacido Valquiria Academy or RV Academy is a prestigious all-girls school and was made to defeat monsters. The Celestial Dress which is from the Gods and Goddesses are able to grant super powers to humans. This is the perfect place to learn magic, and almost all 5-Star Magi graduated from here.

With her training, speed, and power she defeats her enemies with ease.

But even though. Marina wanted more power.

And now…
