Chapter 94 – Readmission to the Academy – 3
“Everybody get out.”
The students, who seemed frozen in their seats and couldn’t move, left the lecture room in a hurry as if they came to their senses after hearing my words.
How many prisoners has he fooled so far?
It was a horse lecture room, but it was actually a trap. A deadly trap that skillfully deceives and charms students.
Hunters who set traps and wait don’t get out of the spot too much and hang around. Maybe that’s why the Hawks didn’t leave this spot. He didn’t seem to have any intention of escaping.
He created an advantageous place for himself by installing black screens on the floor, on the walls, and creating them here and there.
Wedge liquid—!
Among them, thorns come out from certain places. Each of these shields became his attack range.
“The moment the Dark Zone is created, there is no chance for you to win. I don’t know how far I knew and how I got here… “
Hawks testified with bloody eyes, but I shook my head and laughed.
“I think I can understand why you did this even if you don’t listen.”
“What do you say you know?”
“Your skills are really trash. To the point where I had to seriously consider dropping out.”
Did the word trash hurt your pride? His expression wrinkled slightly.
However, strictly speaking, it is enough to feel sorry for the garbage. Trash, at least as soon as I see it, I think of it as trash.
You don’t cheat innocent victims this way.
Besides, even if I look back on my memories of my past life when I was attending the academy, I can’t remember Hawks. If he had been an eminent professor, I would have remembered him.
“Because I was treated as the bottom among human professors, I must have hated that. I want to reign over a certain layer, but among human wizards, there are no easy guys… Isn’t that why you’re doing this to beasts?”
“Are you doing this against beastmen? Except for giving lectures. I don’t understand.”
In the middle of this, to pretend, this guy wasn’t an ordinary shameless guy.
When I open my palm, Zeke puts his mana record sheet on top of it. Upon confirming the contents, Hawks’ face showed a little embarrassment.
“You’re tricking the prisoners into committing crimes.”
However, as if he had made up his mind to be impudent, he smiled happily.
“Even if it was, why? I’m just suggesting it out of the heart for them. I can’t let you continue to suffer and live.”
“What you want is for the perception of a beastman to sink to the ground like this.”
“You say something interesting. The weapon he’s holding seems unusual. Are you a Florian? The head of the noisy El Balom these days.”
“He is not someone whose name you dare to mention.”
“Is that bastard’s subordinate? Good. Let’s see what El Balom guys are capable of.”
But that was then. Alice shouted outside the window.
“Master! Never give up! Long live Florian!”
“…”
An awkward silence flows for a while. Hawks burst into laughter as if it were absurd.
“Wasn’t he not himself? They say cheating is bad.”
“Shut up. My lies have no victims.”
Around that time, Denia completed her barrier outside the classroom. The guy was still able to afford it, and I also smiled and loaded the bullet into the trivi.
Denia’s barrier is reliable. It would be okay if I spread my skills comfortably inside.
I was already excited at the thought of shooting this bullet and that bullet to my heart’s content.
Haha…”
As I continued to laugh, Hawks felt something ominous and began to spread his thorns here and there in the Dark Zone.
Easy easy
Turning shadows into thorns and stabbing them is what Elfriede did to me a lot.
“Even at that time, the default was to pierce one ankle. Hey.”
My whole body is fine now, but I’m afraid I can’t avoid something like this? I jumped and jumped while thinking about what kind of bullets to fire.
Kwajik-! Clumsy—!
The desks and chairs inside the classroom were in the middle of being smashed, but what can I do? It’s not El Balom’s property, so it doesn’t matter.
This bullet has an explosion, this bullet has stealth, this bullet has telekinesis… While he was busy rolling his head, Hawks suddenly closed the distance from me.
“I’m going to fight melee”
Kaaang—!
Say? I tried to say it until the end, but I couldn’t. Unexpectedly, his melee attack was excellent.
A very thin sword drawn from the Dark Zone bites me incessantly.
Caan-! Kang! Kang!
Using Trivi’s body, she uses the body of the trivi to block it, and continues to infuse the bullet with this or that unique ability.
In the middle, the El Balom executives tried to intervene, but I stopped them. Because if there was something I wanted to do in battle, I was the one who would be able to express myself only when I did it myself.
The moment when we exchanged sums with each other like that and stepped on the floor of the lecture hall.
‘Hmm.’
Sometimes instinct is more helpful than rational judgment, and now was the moment. An ominous sense of incongruity felt from the floor.
As soon as I touched the ground, I soared into the air. Like the gunpowder in a fireworks display, as much as you can.
Sure enough, there was a push, and several black thorns rose from the floor.
“Yeah. Did you lie again?”
“You are quick-witted.”
It is a trick that extends from the ground after tricking it into thinking that only the Dark Zone can extend its thorns. The intention itself is commendable enough.
However, just as a bee loses its strength when stung by a bee, so does its trump card.
Even counting the number of thorns I avoided, it was considerable. Even if you are a professor at Valhalla Academy, your mana will eventually run out.
As if my predictions weren’t wrong, the guy’s spikes had noticeably decreased, and he tried to win in close combat.
Trivi triggers three shots.
Quaang—! Quaang—! Bang-!
Three bullets containing explosives exploded, creating a thick fog in the classroom.
The sensation of breathing in this isn’t very pleasant, but well, it’s great for hiding.
“Are you going to hide? No use. You can’t leave the classroom.”
It was a relaxed line, but there was a hint of nervousness in his tone as he recited it.
The time to prepare a trump card under the cover of smoke is not very long. I took a calm breath and pointed the muzzle of his gun at where he was supposed to be.
Finished the act of applying all kinds of unique abilities to all bullets.
『Explosion』, 『Inflammation』, 『Stealth』, Etc. Are all gathered together, a shot that is on a different level from the bullets I have shot so far. The output of this single shot is hard to control even for me, who used to play Trivi like a toy—
Whoaaaaa!
The smoke cleared in an instant and our eyes met. Hawks, at some point, was charging right up to her, clutching his sword.
It’s because the dark zone’s black energy is wrapped around the body.
“…”
I stared blankly at his face. Did he still have one more trump card?
But the bewilderment does not last long. Instead of clenching his teeth, he raised the corners of his mouth. If those who enjoy are first-class, then I become first-class now.
‘Concentration.’
Blowing mana into her eyes, she grasps the current situation with all her might. It’s hot, as if blood vessels are bursting from your eyes, but that’s okay.
Thanks to that, I was able to take a close look at each and every thing as if time was passing slowly.
Whoo-!
Twist your body as hard as you can to dodge the straight line thrust. It looks like part of the shoulder was torn off, but it’s minor.
I check him as he passes me and pull the trivi trigger.
The power of bullets with each unique ability is enormous.
Because it is stealth, it is invisible, and because it is telekinetic, it changes its trajectory freely while lightly ignoring the laws of physics, and it displays its power by causing an explosion wherever it touches.
The bullets that caused the wall and explosion do not dissipate and bounce off as they are. I face the Hawks who passed me head-on.
Words I give as if giving advice to him who turns his back to me.
“One hundred gold coins if you survive.”
◈
Florian said he was embarrassed and went to wash up, and everyone else is busy cleaning up the situation.
Denia uses her telekinesis to tidy up the classroom, and Elise uses the trick of the explosion to erase the dark traces.
Academy officials, including Balkon, will come soon.
Zeke is organizing the situation, organizing the evidence to support the situation, and meticulously writing out the demands so that they can quickly tell the truth when they arrive.
Everyone was doing their thing, but some were standing awkwardly—
‘…Standing still is awkward.’
It was a pellet.
He didn’t have a role assigned to him, and he wasn’t even part of El Balom yet, so it was awkward to do anything.
While staring blankly at Zeke because he has nothing to do, Zeke turns his head and makes eye contact with him.
“Oh~”
“Oh, sorry.”
Felit tries to turn her head away, but Zeke walks up to her and pats her on the shoulder.
“This job is over, so you can go back now~”
“Ah yes. Then by going to the castle… “
“No no~ You are now free. Florian asked me to release you when this was over.”
“Uh… Is it so?”
The sudden freedom was a little disconcerting.
Besides, didn’t she say that she would keep her captive until she mastered the illusion sword? Soon after, she brushes the idea off. Once released, that was fine.
“Really… Can we just go like this?”
“That’s right~ Go ahead~”
Zeke waved the hand holding the document. Naturally, Pelet’s gaze stayed there. Zeke tilts her head slightly.
“Oh, this? Ugh, we arrested the culprit~ So I was writing up requests for the academy. I’m not doing it my way, just like Florian said~”
“As Florian said… “
What are you asking for Is it gold too?
“If I asked for gold coins, how much would I get?”
“Wouldn’t that be great? The academy has to pay for the silence. You can think of it as a level worth calling.”
Then it is. Because he seemed to be very fond of riches.
Are you going to ask for a diploma as well? If you have a lot of lingering regrets about graduation, that might be the case.
As she tried to turn around with such a simple thought, she stopped when she saw the unbelievable sentence.
“…!”
I blankly stare at the document.
I keep looking, and I keep looking, and then I snatch it out of Zeke’s hand, and then I look again.
“…What, what are you thinking?”
[El Balom strongly condemns the treatment of Valhalla Academy’s race. ]
▶Professors of the Magic Tower, do your best to find a fundamental solution. Create an environment where all students can make equal efforts by devising a strong code for handling not only prisoners, but also mixed-race prisoners.
Florian, the man who held Pelit captive.
That was the end of his demands.
