Chapter 94

Student Council President Election (7)

– Quang!

The explosion sound was heard at the end of the sparring with Elvira.

“What is it...?”

Student sparring facility in the basement of Ofilis Building.

Wade Calamore, a freshman senior who excitedly challenged the top students of each department, was in high spirits.

Clevius Nortondale, the second-year head of the combat club, declared abstention as soon as he appeared in the sparring hall, and Elvira, the head of the alchemy department, had just had all of her reagent bottles destroyed by Wade’s sword and admitted defeat.

It was a moment when onlookers and students gathered in the basement of Ofilis Hall shouted cheers.

Excluding Lucy, who is treated as completely out of the question, if we only defeat Ziggs Eiffelstein, the second year’s deputy head of the Ministry of Magic... Next is the third year’s turn.

“Thank you for your hard work, senior Elvira.”

“joy.”

Elvira, who was collecting reagent bottles in the corner of the sparring hall with a lot of dust on her face, snorted.

“The momentum is high.”

“It was a good fight.”

“What makes a good match? It’s obvious that you feel good about beating the senior student.”

“Haha, I am also human...”

Elvira is not very skilled in the field of combat. In the first place, the study of alchemy itself is not specialized for combat.

However, when you reach the top of your grade, the level of combat itself is usually different. We can get a glimpse of how powerful Wade’s force is.

“Anyway, next time I just have to defeat Senior Ziggs.”

What an arrogant statement this is. Nevertheless, Wade was confident that he would actually do it, and the students who watched the spectacle could not deny it.

Wade’s swordsmanship is definitely not at the level of a first-year student. There was a reason why he beat Josef from the Ministry of Magic and Claude from the Pension Department to take the top spot in the first year.

Ziggs, who was watching the sparring in the corner of the sparring room, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, shrugged his shoulders.

Anyway, it’s too late tonight. Since the time for sparring had passed, Wade and Ziggs’ sparring had to wait for the next time.

The sparring that the students who came to see most wanted to see was the sparring between Ziggs and Wade. There was a feeling of disappointment among the students as they thought that the main event would be postponed.

“Anyway, what was that sound and vibration just now? Did the thunder hit outside and something collapse?”

“Well, let’s go up first. It’s time to close the underground sparring hall. The maids will soon come to ask us to vacate this place.”

– Quang!

Sure enough, before Ziggs could finish his words, two junior maids burst through the sparring hall door.

Ziggs and Wade were just staring at the door, as if they hadn’t expected him to appear with such a strong presence.

“You need to evacuate right now! Something bad is happening outside!”

‘It’s not a good thing’. Why on earth are you talking so vaguely?

Ziggs frowned, lifted his back from the wall, and stood up.

“What do you mean it’s not a good thing?”

“Well... that is... first evacuate...”

The students in the sparring hall all nodded with puzzled faces.

The group came up to the ground floor, following the maid who was quickly running up. And as we passed through the main hall and entered the hallway, Ziggs was left speechless at the sight he saw outside the window.

The square is full of ‘statues’.

However, if you look closely, it is not a statue. They are the maids of the frozen Ofilis building.

Temporal Aspect Magic. ‘Time prison’.

It is a time-based aspect magic that can only be handled by highly trained aspect magical power.

It’s hard to believe, but there really are geniuses in the world who can roughly imitate the aspect magic that some people have devoted their entire lives to studying.

As time stands still, the number of maids filling the square approaches one by one... dozens.

Among them, we see Jean Belle Maia, the maid who supervises the maids at the Ofilis building.

“What... what is this...!”

Wade screamed. When you look up at the rainy sky, you see a huge sphere of magic filling the sky above Ophelis Hall.

High-ranking fire magic ‘Scorching Ball’.

It is the most famous high-level magic in the field of pure fire magic, capable of burning down an entire area with just pure fire power.

Not even five minutes had passed since the first explosion was heard. It was impossible to guess what happened during those five minutes just by looking at the sight.

Center of the square. There is a girl standing with a cute look with her hat tightly pressed down. It’s a familiar face.

“Lucy... Mayril...?”

Am I out of my mind?

No matter how much Lucy is treated as the weirdest of weirdos, she is definitely not the kind of person who would do something crazy like this.

However, just by looking at the sight, doesn’t it seem like Lucy will destroy the entire Ofilis building at any moment?

There are still a lot of students inside, and if you really hit that level of magic, a catastrophe would occur.

“There is news that Master Ed Rosstaylor, a third year student at the Ministry of Magic, has passed away.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“At least that’s what Miss Lucy says.”

The maid quickly led the students and ran along the hallway leading to the back of the hall on the first floor. The plan is to evacuate everyone through the back door.

However, he did not stop explaining the situation.

“Currently, the head maid and all the high-ranking maids are also affected, so we are also in a state of great confusion. First of all, the maids who are able to work are grouping together and moving in the direction of evacuating the students. First of all, we have to move quickly!”

There were about twenty students watching Dalian. For the maid, leading all these students to evacuate was an urgent task that needed to be resolved immediately.

“Senior Ed... is dead...?”

As you run across the hallway, you can even see the scenery behind Lucy through the window. Two retainers captured by Lucy’s telekinetic magic were floating in the air.

“Yes. It looks like he was assassinated by the vassals of the Rosstaylor family.”

“If you are a vassal of the Rosstaylor family... then... Tanya Rosstaylor...?”

“That’s... not an area for me to speculate on.”

The maid ran out and opened all the locked doors. This was because he was planning to take out any students left in the room.

The group of students who followed trembled in fear when they saw the fiery ball filling the sky.

“Then where is Tanya herself?”

“I... I don’t know...”

“...”

Ziggs, who was running after the maid, stopped. A look as if asking what was going on in Hansi’s busy situation fell on Ziggs.

“Go first.”

“Yes? Master Ziggs. The current situation is...”

“I know. Evacuate everyone first.”

Ziggs had an intuition.

“I’ll try to stop Lucy first.”

“You can’t do that, Senior Ziggs.”

Wade came in through the crack in the broken door. Wade also broke away from the ranks and followed Ziggs.

It looked like the maid was suffering from a pounding headache. Ziggs felt sorry inside.

“There is no need to challenge the impossible. For now... it is right to listen to Senior Lucy’s demands. How can I deal with such a monster...!”

Wade, who had followed Ziggs to stop him, blocked his path.

“Do you not understand the situation properly? Now... no one knows what will happen if you protect Tanya. Just... send Tanya to senior Lucy like this.”

“I use my own judgment, Wade.”

Wade’s words are truly correct. Ziggs also understood that well.

However, Tanya Rosstaylor is the younger sister of Ed Rosstaylor. If so, I don’t know how to do it twice, but it’s worth believing at least once.

Also, the Lucy that Ziggs knew... no matter how much he lost his senses, he wouldn’t cross the line to the point of slamming high-level magic into an inhabited building.

Ziggs decided to maintain his faith with only that belief.

“You are making an unreasonable judgment... Senior Ziggs.”

Wade pulled out his sword.

“In that case... I have to carry out my will, even if it means by force.”

“...”

“Send Tanya this way.”

– Quang! Quang!

A few more explosions were heard. One side of the pavilion in the rose garden was destroyed, and a statue hanging from the rooftop was thrown to the ground.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaa!”

Clevius, who was running away to the back of the rose garden, lost his footing at the sound of the explosion and fell on the ground.

The maids leading the students should have escaped with as many students as possible. As a result, the route was too long.

Clevius, who was so frightened, couldn’t stand it anymore, so he left the group and crossed the back of the square alone.

While trying to escape by hiding among the flower beds on the outskirts of the building, Clevius slipped on the rainwater, rolled on the floor, and fell all the way to the central square.

“...”

“...Hi...!”

Lucy, engulfed in an unbelievable level of magical power, glances sideways at Clevius in the air.

However, without any sign of concern or any intention of attacking, Lucy turned off Clevius.

This is because Lucy understood well Clevius’s cowardly temperament.

Clevius, who barely managed to get up while holding on to his trembling legs, ran away screaming.

“Aaaahhh!”

Clevious ran across Lucy’s back and ran out of Ophelis Hall. I had nowhere to go right now, but I didn’t want to remain in such a dangerous place.

If you can run away, definitely run away. That was Clevius’ first principle.

“Really... X8... Why... something like this... is happening... bitch... X8...! I didn’t come to Sylvania for this! It’s really peace in my life. “There’s nothing like that! It’s like shit! It’s like a fucking dog...!!!”

Clevius, who was running away with his teeth chattering and his whole body shaking, fell to the ground again at the exit of the rose garden.

– Craddangtangtang!

– Shoot,

Clevius collapsed on the floor in an ungainly manner, sprawled out and lying in the rain.

The rain that keeps falling tramples on Clevius.

“Really... if something like that suddenly appears... wouldn’t it be scary... really... X eight... X eight...”

I lie down and think about my appearance. My whole body was soaked from the rain as I was running away awkwardly, and after going through the flower beds and rolling on the floor a few times, there was a lot of mud on it.

He already has a gloomy appearance, but he looks like a drowned rat, so it couldn’t be more pitiful.

“Really... X-arms...”

Clevious gritted his teeth as he lay down and swept his face covered in rainwater.

Still, my feet don’t fall off. I lost my strength completely. Clevious just kept swiping his face and swearing soullessly.

“What are you doing, stupid Clevius?”

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice beyond the rain. It was Elvira, the chief meddler from the second-year pension department who had been sparring just a moment ago.

It’s always been the same since we subdued Glaskan. He is the chief alchemist who always makes fun of Clevious as if he is pathetic.

“I’m lying here and there.”

“Weren’t you sparring just a moment ago...?”

“Okay. I lost all the reagents while sparring. So I have to go to the lab to get more reagents.”

From the looks of it, Elvira also broke away from the ranks.

“In the current situation, who else can stop that monster except the senior students? At least until the academic staff arrives... shouldn’t we hold out for at least 30 minutes? So, the remaining senior students decided to join forces. I did it.”

Elvira said that and kicked Clevius in the shin.

“Looking at you, your legs have lost their strength. When you regain strength, run towards the faculty building. If there is an academic staff member, call me.”

Most of the high-ranking staff members who were working overnight were out on a research trip to the northern cliff area.

The distance is already long, and the Ofilis building is originally managed independently by maids, so the crime prevention system is not carefully coordinated.

It was obvious that bringing in academic staff would take more time than expected.

Elvira also thought that it would be difficult to resolve it right away. Nevertheless, I ran out toward the lab, carrying a bunch of alchemy bags.

After Elvira ran out, Clevius was left alone again... He lay down like that and was drenched in the rain for a long time.

“...”

“Really

...

Clevius had no choice but to lie down in the rain for a while.

I just gritted my teeth and pressed down on my eyelids with my clenched fists.

*

“Ed!”

Yenika ran into the cave where the bonfire was lit.

With my magical power completely exhausted and my body in shattered condition, I had no choice but to lie down and welcome them.

“Oh... we’re in big trouble, Ed...! First of all, the academic staff left first... Merilda also moved... I think Ed should move too, just in case...!”

“what?”

“You haven’t told me yet... Lucy... I guess she found out that Ed was dead before I even explained the situation...! I don’t know how she found out... but she already knew...! ”

A body that screams doesn’t move as intended.

“so...?”

“I think I went to Ofilis Hall to look for Tanya...!”

Those words... I had no choice but to force myself to stand up. This...I feel like I have to step up and do it myself.
