This is an example.
No. This is not an example.
The boy was defeated.
The warrior was defeated.
The boy was invincible because he was an illusion.
It was because he was an illusion that he was invincible.
So what happens when he faces the same illusion?
A bigger illusion?
He will be devoured.
And then, he will vanish.
Just like a fantasy.
Just like a shadow.
They vanish and become forgotten.
That's just how the world is.
However...
What if...
Someone, anyone...
Were to wish for something...
"If it were the me from before...."
"It would have just ended here and now."
"But..."
"For me..."
"In my heart is the lessons of my first teacher."
"Here is the Machine Belt of my second teacher."
"And..."
"With the Radiance of a hundred thousand, I will let my lightning surge..."
"Thus, I..."

Radiance...
There was something surging.
It was something terribly small.
It wasn't something that would catch anyone's attention even if it flew to the ends of the sky.
Not many of them were even aware of its existence.
But surely. There was Radiance.
But surely. It was there.
But surely. There was people who noticed it.
That is why...
The Electric Knight has restarted.
Standing back up, the Electric Knight reforms itself.
Nikola Tesla has been revived.
Nikola Tesla is still in this world.
He stands up.
He can still stand up.
He can't give up.
He can never give up.
He hears a voice calling for him to stand up.
A hallucination? Perhaps it was.
But at the same time, it has called for his name,
In that case...
In the despairing sky...
So long as there's a voice that calls for my name!
Tesla: I... I will never give up.
Stand up...
Tesla: Even if the despairing sky covers everything, so long as Radiance exists on the earth...
You have to stand up. You must...
Tesla: Even if you are my enemy, I will keep on fighting. My...
Right here, right now...
Tesla: My Radiant children...
Tesla: And my beloved Radiance. You are my infinite electric power. Thus, I will not fall!
Tesla: Now, with those bright eyes!
Tesla: Take a closer look! My teacher, Charles Babbage!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Walther: This is my Art. My Acceleration. Turn into pieces, Titan Feet!
Berta: Let's do it together... Self-Style Hidden Technique, Zetsumyouken!
From the shockwaves formed by supersonic speed...
To the dance of a white blade, together, they tore the beach asunder!
A simultaneous shockwave and cutting attack!
Through the joint effort of the speedy him and the Samurai, countless monstrous spheres were shattered and cut in two.
The black monstrous spheres was supposed to be able to overcome humans, with an effect that kills all creatures upon contact.
It wasn't something a human could overcome.
They saw it.
The monstrous swarm never ceases.
Could they overcome the neverending eternal pressure of death?
But there was him...
The Academia's best.
The Academia's strongest.
Those two were exalted as having the greatest offensive power in the Governing Council!
Their Master was the Thunder Fiend, who rebels against the World.
He was the Academia's best and strongest Art user!
They would not falter against such dead fantasies!
Walther: What in the hell are these guys? There's no end to these guys regardless of how much I shatter them!
The speedy man shouts, instantly changing into his battle gear...
Berta: There's an end to everything. Everything will lead to their end if you keep cutting at them! Let's do this, Lord Walther!
Walther: Tsk. What a drag. I'd be able to clean all of these up in one sweep! Guess I'll have to do this without Urthos! Once more, together!
Berta: Understood!
The speedy man touched the Samurai's shoulder. Here, together with an Art that endlessly accelerates anything that they touch...
Accelerate. Accelerate. Accelerating to its limits, the combined attack was launched!
Countless cutting attacks by means of supersonic movement!
Walther and Berta: Thousand Tempest!
Jo: ...!
A giant slash...
Cuts the black monstrous sphere in two!
The Engine Axe Hephaestus bisects the inviolable monstrous sphere, letting it evaporate into the atmosphere without any trace remaining!
Its destructive power was outstanding!
Were it an ordinary axe, it would been shattered.
However, this was an axe used to kill illusions!
One after another...
A single streak was fired...!!
A single steel arrow was launched!
The super-large compound bow Artemis, made with Scholar Engineering!
The blow fired with this would not miss their mark!
Tearing through the night sky, it kills its enemy faster than the speed of sound!
Silently, something black with a hint of rage approaches them! In other words, towards the countless monstrous spheres...
Connect. An explosion...
It was Artemis's black arrow, a blade forged in chrome!
Without fail, it crushes a swarm of the black monstrous spheres!
Jo: ...Oh, what is this! Looks like you're getting the hang of it, Emmy!
Emilie: They seem to be Automatons. I thought there would be some sort of Engine, but in short, they're just mechanical war machines.
Jo: Seems like the lady's fear wasn't unfounded. The Master is going on a rampage over there!
They had a perfect lineup.
Before these two, there was nothing the black monstrous spheres could do.
This was due to the strengthening effect of the tall girl's Art, who used it to raise her friend's abilities and strengthened her bow.
The girl with the bow continues to fire rapidly...
With her Engine Axe, the tall girl bisects all of the approaching monstrous spheres.
They were perfect.
They were invincible.
They would not lose to such mere abnormalities.
The two looked up to their master, the Thunder Fiend himself! He who fought against the World alone...
There was no way he'd lose.
There was no way he'd fall.
That was because their Master's Radiance was still above the sea!
Emilie: A detached force is approaching from the rear. Please, if you may.
Jo: Leave it to me! I can still go! Will Walther and the others be okay?
Emilie: They'll be alright. The enemies on the left side have been destroyed.
Jo: What about you?
Emilie: I'll be destroying the right side, of course!
Jo: Understood. Hey, you guys! Don't leave Emilie!
A voice calls out to them...
Annabeth: Y-yeah. We're not moving away, we won't!
The goggled girl nods, nodding her head deeply many times.
On the edge of their sight, they saw a silver giant facing off against a towering giant far above the sea.
Because of watching this...
They wouldn't fall into a panic even if they saw a black monstrous sphere, nor would their spirit be killed by fear.
The girl already knew this.
For this Radiance belonged to them...
And...
Izumi: It's alright, senior. Neon and Tesla are there.
Muttered the green-haired girl.
She touches the goggled girl softly.
Annabeth: Hm...?
Izumi: He's there, Neon. I don't know why. I just know it.
Annabeth: Neon...? Is she inside that giant?
Izumi: Yes. That big one over there. It seems like they've been there forever.
Staring out to the giant figure towering over the sea. Moving her "ears" on her head several times. The girl quietly whispers.
Talking to the friend who wasn't there. As if she was right beside her.
As if she was whispering. She felt something and nodded.
As if she had to affirm it. She believed in something and nodded.
Izumi: That's right, Neon. The old man...and that big old man.
Izumi: It has to do with you, Mister Tesla. It's why they came to the Academia.
Izumi: There, they found it. Neon...
