“Ah-ah- today is over-”
When Elijah said that with an exhausted expression, Tricia, who had been following along, said with a wry smile.
“Aren’t you overdoing it these days?”
Actually it was too.
Elfante’s Knight Faculty class is famous for being very strict, but among them, the training course that Elijah has been digesting these days has a reputation for being truly murderous.
Even after school, Trisha, who is a Divinity Faculty member, heard the news that she would visit the dean separately and receive 1:1 additional training over and over again.
I must have said that to be a candidate for a hero, or to have the reputation I want.
“…No, what.”
Elijah pouted at this and opened his mouth.
“Because lately I’ve been feeling inadequate.”
“…lack of?”
Tricia replied in a puzzled voice.
Shortage, what shortfall?
It has been a long time since it has been determined that there is no one among the freshmen who can go even half as Elijah.
Didn’t Talion, who was expected at least, fall into a catfish as soon as he got involved with Elijah?
“…Trisya. Do you know the Celestial Automaton?”
“Eh? Why is that all of a sudden?”
you know you know
Did you say that it is a weapon that is occasionally used when there is something to intervene in the material world in the heaven located inside the realm of the other side?
I heard that almost all humans in the material world find it difficult to deal with because it has difficulty penetrating its extremely hard outer shell.
At least there won’t be a chance to meet something like that in the academy student unit, right?
“Some of the freshmen cut it in one shot.”
“…”
what the hell is that monster
“And in common, there is a connection with the teacher again… I don’t know where that person keeps getting involved with such a woman…”
Tricia was startled again when she saw the ’emotional color’ rising in Elijah’s heart.
It’s dark again. These days, the period that remains white is quite long!
“…That, is it? Still, I don’t think you have any special relationship with Mr. Daud. He said he had already had his nose pierced by the student president.”
“No, that’s a bit odd.”
Elijah sighed and said.
“There are many women who will rush to say that they like him if he is just looking at him, but he has never said he likes anyone.”
“…”
Isn’t that just flirt trash?
The thought naturally came into Trisha’s head, but she struggled to swallow the sentence.
Even so, Elijah is a person who cares very much. You shouldn’t speak carelessly.
“That’s why I’m worried. At some point, I’m afraid they’ll cut their nerves from me altogether.”
“yes?”
Elijah’s expression darkened in an instant.
As if recalling bad memories.
“They told me to stay out of the battle the other day. Isn’t this a bit of a red flag?”
“…uh?”
Trisha blinked for a moment.
no, what is this
Strangely, the focus is out of the conversation.
Why does the topic keep turning to fighting power?
“…Hey, Elijah.”
“Well?”
“Weren’t we talking about what type of opposite sex Dowd cares about more…?”
There was silence between each other for a while.
“…no. Because that person is older than me Wouldn’t it be more likely that the teacher would care more about you than about me?”
“…”
Well.
Her friend always brings out remarks that go against common sense in strange parts.
Since when did the youth business become an arena for rankings based on who is stronger?
“Why do you think so?”
“That part, what is it? Isn’t that the only competitive part of me?”
“…why do you think that?”
Elijah closed his mouth.
After kicking the ground a few times for no reason, he humbly scratches the nape of his neck and speaks.
“I don’t know what’s left of me, other than being good at fighting…”
Seeing Elijah wriggling and bringing out those words, Tricia silently touched her forehead.
There is a long way to go.
sincerely.
“…Have confidence. Are you secretly popular with boys?”
“Can’t you?”
“…”
I don’t know why you’re so vehemently in denial.
It’s true.
‘…She’s pretty, her skills are amazing, and she’s easygoing with everyone…’
To be honest, from the point of view of a friend, I even think that it is a waste of money for a person named Daud, who is very dubious.
I just want you to know that fan clubs aren’t created for nothing.
“…Well, whatever. So I’m training hard these days! Then wouldn’t the teacher stick around with me a little more, that, a lot…?”
“…”
But the idea itself was wrong.
Trisha gave up persuasion and looked upwards.
“…uh?”
It was thanks to him that he discovered the ‘pillar of light’ that stretched out like it was shattering the entire sky.
“What is that?”
“That, well?”
-…
while having such a conversation.
That pillar of light hits the barrier that spreads across the entire academy.
The protective barrier enveloping the entire academy spread by the archangel cracks like a spider’s web.
“…!”
Elijah and Trisha’s faces turned blue at the same time.
I’m not sure what the situation is now.
If that protective barrier were to disappear, there would be no one in this academy who didn’t know what would happen.
Near here, there is a void area where demonic ‘bodies’ are buried.
If there is no protective barrier, there will surely be a disaster in this place.
next.
Not even a few seconds.
From the void far away, a great dark haze rises in contrast with the pillars of light.
As if he immediately sensed that the barrier was damaged.
next.
—————–!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Through the gaps in the cracked barrier, black darkness began to scream and rush in.

[ Main Quest ]〖 Chapter 2 – The Boy King 〗
[ !Alert!! ] [ Emergency event in action! ]
[Repel the ‘Academy Raid’! ]
[ If there are too many casualties, it’s game over! ]
[ This is a quest whose route has been changed due to an emergency event. ]
[ Additional rewards will be given upon clearing! ]
[ Reward: 1 Hero Fragment ]
[ Reward: 1 Evil Essence ]
[ Reward: Special interaction with ‘Heretic Inquisition’]
[ Reward: 10,000pt ]
Without a gap to read the window that had risen like that, he gritted his teeth as he looked at the blackened sky.
“…”
Looking around, the figure of the Precursor is no longer visible.
It seems to have disappeared at the same time as activating the perforation disruptor.
It let out an ear-splitting scream, and the haze filled with evil spirits and demons gathered through the cracks in the barrier and continued to bump their bodies to break it.
Every time they collide, screams from nearby students continue to erupt. He would have instinctively known that if it broke, something terrible would happen.
It wasn’t that the chiangel jumped out for no reason and set up a barrier around here. The evil spirits of death remaining around here are those with blind hatred for living beings.
“…”
Normally, I wouldn’t do it that way.
However, it is a phenomenon that occurs because there are things they ‘covet’ in this.
piece of the devil. And the bowls containing the pieces.
These are the things Atalanta put together to seal all the pieces through me.
“…”
The damn thing is the butterfly effect.
Originally, they wouldn’t have tried to come inside by breaking the barrier like that.
This phenomenon is happening because of the existence of human beings.
-!
However, Academy Elfante is a place where manpower can respond to any threat in an instant.
There is a new type that jumps up to such a place at once.
A person who instantly assembled the ‘flying’ technology, which is treated as an extremely difficult technology with any kind of superpower.
Eternal Atalanta. The president of the academy, who had thousands of talents befitting the years he had lived for over 1,000 years, quickly reached through the gap in the cracked barrier.
Then, a white light emanated from that hand. It was clear that the intention was to reinforce the cracked part.
Subsequently, to support Atalanta, other types of humans also arrive one after another.
It was clear that the faculty of the Divine Faculty and the Sorcery Faculty were. I could also glimpse the faces of Persie, the head of the Faculty of Magic, and Walter, the head of the Divinity Faculty.
-!
And when that amount of manpower clings to it, the darkness that tried to squeeze in through the cracks in the barrier screams and retreats again, as if the temporary measure was effective.
It would be a great feat. No matter how many great humans cling to it, that is the barrier of the chiangel. It just doesn’t make sense to be able to control it, even if it’s a temporary measure.
Cheers and exclamations of relief flowed from the surroundings. It must have been because he was convinced that even such an accident could be prevented.
but.
‘…Not good.’
As far as I know, that’s not the main part of the boy king boss fight.
The fact that all of those people are flocking there is itself a danger sign.
While all the high-quality personnel inside the academy were concentrated there, another enormous energy began to gather in one place.
“W-what is that?!”
“The clock tower…!”
The clock tower in the center of the academy. The ‘tallest’ building in the academy. Above it, several huge ‘hieroglyphs’ begin to stick.
A spell in an ancient language. A forgotten recipe. It is the forbidden art of Balcasus.
Subsequently, the hieroglyphs exuded a magical energy, and all kinds of ‘jin’ began to form around them.
Crawling out from the inside is a group of huge monsters that are clearly rotten and rotten.
And among them, a monster with a size of several tens of meters stands out by far. A gigantic golem made by splicing together several pieces of meat, and looks like it was shaped like a human body in the shape of hell.
Flash Tearer.
According to the classification of the Empire Adventurers Guild, it is a ‘special type’ monster that can cause an emergency in a city unit simply by appearing.
A monster that requires at least Gideon or Marquess Kendride to take down stably without casualties.
‘It’s really fucking stupid…!’
My head spins as soon as I see it.
Are you pushing me to break this now?
The undead assembled with gold technology.
Excluding the Flash Tearer, it’s comparable in strength to the medium-sized monsters I dealt with before, but it’s far worse in viciousness.
that one doesn’t die
It’s impossible to catch it in the first place. How can I kill someone who is already a corpse?
There is only one solution.
Dealing with the Valcasus that is moving it through goldsmithing.
-!!!
-!!!!!!!!
The undead that came out of the camp roared in unison.
It seems that the vocal chords have also been corrupted due to the rotting effect of the whole body, and the sound of air escaping and the terrible metal sound mixed. And, on the contrary, because of that, it was all the more grotesque.
“Hee, heee…!”
“Run away!”
When the students see it, their faces turn blue and they start running away.
At least the upperclassmen and faculty who are mentally attached are trying to control their surroundings, but it must be weirder to be able to stay sane just by looking at that.
Abyssal warfare spread around.
“…!”
Atalanta in the sky eventually gritted her teeth and beckoned to the nearby faculty.
I’ll hold on to this place alone, so it must mean to go to the ground and control it so that there are no casualties.
It’s a reasonable choice, but it’s unreasonable to continue dealing with the fraud in the void that continues to beat the barriers alone. After making that decision, the faculty hesitated, but Atalanta hurriedly gestured again.
If the undead were to attack the uncontrollable students like this, the barrier wouldn’t be a problem. A massacre takes place right here and there.
In the end, the faculty who understood this came down to the ground again with a miserable expression.
“…”
With Atalanta, I could survive for about 30 minutes alone.
30 minutes.
In it, you have to break through those monsters and hit Balcasus at the top of the clock tower.
Otherwise, the barrier will be breached, and the main quest will fail as countless people are swept away by that darkness. It’s game over.
In the current situation where neither the colleagues nor the prepared “tools” were gathered properly. can you do that
“…”
Bite your lips to bleed.
If it is going as it is, there should be no ‘time limit’.
Gathering all forces that could not be gathered properly, going through the immortal monsters and advancing to the clock tower, and taking care of the boy king on the top floor.
I’ll do anything if I have time. If only for one night.
But if you do it all in 30 minutes.
“…”
teeth are grinding
Time is running out. My composure is disturbed by a super-large variable that deviated from my plan.
‘…I have to come up with an appropriate method…’
Grind your teeth and roll your head.
Compared to the original plan, the situation was compressed to the extreme.
If you can’t recall it here, the things that follow after that are of course decided.
game over. Dowd Campbell died.
“you!”
I turn my head at the familiar voice.
Elnor was running this way with his sword drawn.
This person, in this chaos, thought that he had to find me first rather than avoiding himself, so he searched around the academy.
“Are you okay! Hurry up and avoid it too…!”
“Elnor.”
As he said that, he met eyes with Elnor.
but.
“…not to be avoided. We have to deal with this first.”
I have no choice but to say this now.
Upon hearing my words, Elnor’s eyes widened.
“Solving this, what nonsense…! This is not something to be done at the student level!”
“…if you can think of a way, you can do it.”
Exactly, you have to.
if not.
“If I don’t, I’ll die.”
“…”
Actually, I cut everything back and forth and only said the conclusion, but now this is the best explanation I can give.
grit it
You can find it. will definitely come out
However, the concentration continues to be disturbed. My head continues to spin.
at that time.
Elnor squeezed my shoulders tightly.
“you.”
“…”
“I won’t ask why. I’m sure he’s saying that because there’s a reason. But I want you to know this one thing for sure.”
Elnor met my gaze and continued.
“If you die, I will die too.”
“…Yes?”
“Presume that the lives of two people depend on it and squeeze it out. how to survive. I will do anything I can to help.”
“Elnor, what…”
“Don’t die! I don’t know what’s going on!”
A shock like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer came to the exasperated voice.
Did you know that this person could have a voice like this?
Only then did Elnor’s face come into view.
At the corners of my eyes, there are little tears.
It’s a face that contrasts too much with his usual expressionless expression.
It seems that I am so precious to this person.
“…”
By the way, I’m sorry for being so serious.
I’m really sorry.
I almost burst out laughing on reflex.
I have no idea how to use all the muscles in my face. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever made a face like this.
“…Well.”
Elnor looked at me curiously as I suddenly covered my face and lowered my head.
“…Daud?”
“…it’s nothing.”
The situation is the situation, so I manage to kick the laugh down my throat and send it down.
However, thanks to the consciousness being awakened once.
Sight returns.
The mind becomes clear again.
relax, regain
“Wait a minute, Elnor.”
Thank you and smile a little.
After that, immediately close your eyes and calm your consciousness. Accelerate your thinking to the limit.
I check my ‘patches’. Substitute into the current situation.
“…”
Sparks fly in my head.
there is. way.
The number flashed.
Then, seeing my face, Elnor nodded slowly.
“You look like you’ve put your thoughts together.”
“…Yes. As expected, resolving the situation immediately seems to be close to impossible.”
“Then, will you run away?”
“no.”
I looked at Elnor with a sigh.
Who avoids?
The other side was determined and prepared something like that to give me a shot.
Then what I do is simple.
“I said it was close to impossible, but I didn’t say it was impossible.”
It collides head-on and crushes it.
It is inevitable that there will be many collisions with the pioneers in the future.
But from the start, you shouldn’t show yourself being swayed by such pranks.
“Elnor. Do you believe me?”
“What?”
“I asked if you believed me. I need your help.”
“…”
It’s a conversation we’ve had before.
It’s exactly what I said when I confronted the Purifier.
“…”
“…”
And, the reaction that came back was the same as that.
Elnor looked me straight in the eye and opened his mouth.
“What can I do?”
Hearing that, I smile.
time.
After all, time is what matters.
If that guy gave me 10 minutes, I’d be dead. Even 20 minutes would have ruined it.
However, unfortunately.
30 minutes.
“…Let’s go, Elnor.”
Open your mouth with a sigh.
“Because we have to take the head of a thousand-year-old monster in 30 minutes.”
