"Of course. I will be fine."
The one who spoke was Tenku. He overheard their conversation. After he finished his business with Akina and the others, he quickly came to the infirmary to see Kohana's condition.
Tenku opened the door slowly and saw that the little girl had improved. Her face was no longer pale, and all the wounds on her body had healed.
"Big brother!" Kohana felt happy when she saw Tenku. She subconsciously tried to get up from the bed.
Setsuka wanted to stop her, but Tenku suddenly disappeared and appeared beside the little girl. Tenku stopped Kohana before her older sister could move. Setsuka was not surprised when she saw that because she knew Tenku's true strength.
On the other hand, Tenku didn't mind showing Setsuka a bit of his strength because she and Kaede had seen him when he killed many monsters to help Kohana.
"You should stay in bed for a while. How are you feeling now, little girl? do you feel pain in your body?" Tenku asked.
"I'm fine, big brother! Thank you for saving me again!" Kohana smiled broadly and replied.
"That's good. You don't have to think about it. The most important thing is that you are okay now." Tenku stroked Kohana's hair gently.
"Un! Thank you, big brother! You are my hero and prince!" Kohana closed her eyes and enjoyed Tenku's treatment.
Setsuka watched the exchange between the two with a warm smile. She felt happy because Tenku treated Kohana so well.
"I will accompany Kohana here. You can go to help the students. The battle outside should be over soon. They will think badly of you if you are not there with them." Tenku looked at Setsuka and said.
"I understand. I'll leave Kohana to you." Setsuka smiled when she heard that. Coincidentally she wanted to ask Tenku to accompany Kohana while she dealt with the monsters outside, but she didn't dare say that. Setsuka believed his words because she knew Tenku had killed many monsters after seeing Kohana get hurt.
"Yes. You don't need to worry about it. I will look after her." Tenku smiled slightly in response. Then Setsuka turned her eyes to Kohana on the bed.
"You should rest well and listen to big brother's words. Father and mother must have known about the problems in this school. So they will come here, and you will return with them." Setsuka said.
"I understand! I will listen to big brother's words. I will wait for Father and Mother quietly here!" Kohana answered excitedly.
"Well then, I'll go help the students now." Setsuka turned his gaze back to Tenku.
"Yes, please be careful." Tenka replied. Setsuka nodded with a sweet smile and left the two in the infirmary.
When Setsuka arrived in front of the school building, she quickly manifested her Phantasmal Object and used its ability.
"Phantasmal Release..."
WINTER QUEEN
The temperature in the surroundings dropped drastically, and Setsuka swung her sword at the horde of harpies in the sky.
Freeze!
The dozens of harpies in the sky froze and fell to the ground. Following that, their bodies shattered into small chunks of ice.
"That is..."
"It's the student council president!"
"Yes, that is the power of senior Fuyushima!"
The students were amazed when they saw the sight. They didn't expect Setsuka to kill dozens of harpies with just one strike single-handedly.
"As expected of the daughter of the current head of Fuyushima Temple. She is strong." Kirika muttered. She was also amazed when she saw Setsuka's strength.
After she returned to that place, Kirika quickly helped the students fight the monsters. Akihiko and Fumiko asked her where she was going, but she didn't answer because she couldn't tell if she was following Tenku. On top of that, Kirika had another bad experience, and it was very embarrassing for her.
Both noticed that Kirika's expression clouded over upon hearing that question. They didn't ask further because they felt Kirika didn't want to discuss the matter. Because of that, they stopped the conversation and focused on fighting the monsters again.
"Yes. I didn't think she could unleash such powerful attacks in the Asteroid phase." Fumiko agreed with Kirika's words.
"Not only is she beautiful, but she is also powerful." Akihiko added. He couldn't take his eyes off Setsuka in the maid uniform. Her skirt fluttered in the wind as she moved to attack the monsters.
"Disgusting." Kirika and Fumiko snorted simultaneously when they saw Akihiko's behavior.
Not long after the teachers and Benjiro joined the students, they finally succeeded in killing all the monsters in the Suisei High School area without one left. In other words, they had managed to overcome their crisis with just the students and the help from Kirika's group.
"Get everyone injured to be treated in the infirmary and gather the second and third-year students with ranged attacks! We will destroy the barrier that has isolated our school!" Benjiro looked at the teachers and gave them instructions. He only asked the second and third-year students because he felt that the combined attacks of the two classes and the teachers would be enough to break down the barrier.
After defeating the minotaurs, Benjiro didn't immediately come to help the teachers fight the monsters but checked the barrier that had isolated his school. He did an analysis and found its weak point. Benjiro had also estimated how strong an attack would be to destroy it.
"We understand, principal!" Hayate and the other teachers answered in unison and immediately divided their assignments according to Benjiro's instructions. Some brought the injured people to the infirmary, and the rest gathered the second and third-year students.
Fortunately, no one died in this incident. Most people suffered minor injuries, and only a few were seriously injured. The teachers quickly followed Benjiro's instructions and gathered all the second and third-year students in the schoolyard.
"Muster all your strength and attack the location that I pointed out! Hear my cues and unleash your strongest attack!" Benjiro pointed in a specific direction in the sky using a laser.
"Three, two, one... fire!" Benjiro gave the signal. The teachers and students fired their strongest attacks in the direction Benjiro pointed. Of course, Kirika and her group also helped out.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Crack!
Shattered!
The barrier that had enveloped Suisei High School shattered like broken glass after receiving the combined attacks from the teachers and students. Then their telecommunications signal re-connected with the outside world.
After the barrier was destroyed, Benjiro and the teachers saw many Realizers gather in front of the school gate. Setsuka recognized a few of those people since two were her father and mother.
"The teachers came with me to meet them while the students cleaned up monster corpses around the Suisei High School area. You have to be careful and ensure the monsters are dead. Do you understand?" Benjiro looked at the teachers and students.
"We understand, principal!" The students answered, and they scattered throughout the school grounds.
"Then let's go meet them." Benjiro said to the teachers and walked over first. The teachers nodded and followed behind him. Setsuka also came with them to talk to her parents about something important.
The Realizers also walked towards Benjiro. They were shocked when they entered the Suisei High School area because it was in ruins as if a natural disaster had occurred there. Many monster corpses were scattered everywhere, and hundreds of booths were smashed.
"I didn't expect you two to bother to come here." Benjiro said to the middle-aged man and the gorgeous young woman. The other Realizers also seemed to respect them a lot. The two of them are the parents of Setsuka and Kohana.
The male had a tall build and gave off a dignified aura. His name is Hideo Fuyushima, and he is the current head of the Fuyushima temple. The female looks like the mature version of Setsuka and Kohana. She looks so pretty, and her name is Koyuki Fuyushima.
"Of course, we will come because our daughters were involved in this incident." Hideo said in a low voice.
"I understand." Benjiro nodded after hearing Hideo's words.
"Are we late?" One of the Realizers asked Benjiro. He was Daisuke Okamoto, a person Tenku had met several times. He thought they had arrived too late when he saw the dire situation at Suisei High School.
"No, you are not late. But we'd better discuss this matter in my office." Benjiro didn't want anyone else to hear their conversation because it wasn't just Realizers who came to Suisei High School but journalists looking for news.
"We understand, senior Benjiro." the Realizers agreed with Benjiro.
"Please take some teachers with you to deal with the reporters." Benjiro looked at Hayate and said.
"Yes, principal." Hayate replied and asked three teachers to accompany him to handle the journalists.
"Then let's move to my office." Benjiro said, and he led the Realizers to the principal's office inside the school building.
The Realizers from the organization followed behind him, but Hideo and Koyuki didn't because they wanted to discuss something with Setsuka. The three of them walked some distance away from Benjiro. They wanted to hear an explanation from their daughter first.
"What exactly happened, Setsuka?" Koyuki looked at her daughter and asked.
"Monsters have attacked this school." Setsuka answered. Then she explained how the monsters had suddenly appeared and a barrier isolated their school.
Setsuka still doesn't know that this is the work of the Ghost Nebula organization members because Tenku hasn't told her about the matter. Among the people at Suisei High School, only Kirika knows about it because she heard it directly from Tenku. She also saw his battles with Sigma and Omicron.
Afterward, Setsuka also said about Kohana getting hurt because of the monsters. Fortunately, someone came to save him. But Setsuka didn't say who it was to her parents. Hideo and Koyuki released killing intent when they heard about it but quickly retracted it.
"I see. I can't believe monsters suddenly appeared in this school for no reason. We did not detect any space collapse around this area. So I think those monsters were deliberately brought here by someone and are most likely members of a terrorist organization." Hideo said his opinion after hearing his daughter's explanation. Setsuka nodded in agreement since it was what she and Kaede thought.
"Where is the little girl now? Where is the person who saved her?" Koyuki wants to see Kohana immediately because she is worried about her situation.
"I'll take you there. both of them are in the infirmary." Setsuka led his parents to the infirmary. But Hideo and Koyuki suddenly stopped in their footsteps and frowned as they entered the school building.
"I felt that someone was watching us when we entered this building." Hideo said with a serious face.
