It went just as he had planned. Because Suimei lured Felmenia to the barrier, he can now demonstrate his full power as a mage.
Seeing the gap in power, Felmenia could only stand in fear and frustration. In front of her, Suimei had showed unimaginable knowledge and magic power. (彼女を前に、水明は己が持てる知識を用立て、魔力を漲らせて臨む。)
If anyone here was to witness this, they would know that this is overkill. Felmenia Stingray, no, mages in this world are too far behind in their world’s magic. Then, he should go easy on them. He should reduce the useless magic power and control them. That would be efficient and gentlemanly. Yeah.
But, Suimei has no such intention. Even if he didn’t know the level of magic here, didn’t know the legal use of a magic circle, didn’t know that chanting is essential, or make the magic pool into his body as a mage of this world would, a mage is still a mage.
He prepared the stage for the fight. Since he’s the host, he must not forget the courtesy of giving his full power no matter how low the challenger’s level is. If you’re a mage, do it like a mage; always show your best magic to fascinate the opponent’s heart and make them surrender.
Though, it’s true that he prepared it for another reason, too. In the middle of a fight, as the host, he has to appear full of spirit. That’s, Suimei Yakagi’s pride as a mage.
After the confrontation a while ago, of course, there’s no starting line for this fight, The fight had already begun a long time ago. It’s now left to whoever decides to move first.
