#1 Their story: A certain students final battle this year

Thank you very much.

As a student bowed his head towards her, Professor Harian smiled.

Fine we lost

You really were strong, Professors.

Fufu I dont think I should be hearing that from the students who beat the daylights out of said professor?

Thanks for everything up till now.

Yes, I feel like I have done a lot up til now. So go on and win so we can end all this.

I understand.

As she smirked and turned her head, beside her was Muam floating like a corpse in water that hed summoned himself, and beside him was the metal bat yelling revive, revive! as she beat him up.

I didnt think you would contract a spirit king right at the death.

If I couldnt contract him, we probably would have lost.

Well, its fine since you made the contract, no?

As we listened to the kuweeek! noises coming from the normally taciturn Professor Muams mouth, Professor Harian raised her hand and waved at Nerkia.

Congratulations on your first escape. And this should be your last as well, right?

Yes, we will do everything to ensure that this is the last time we ever have to escape.

Yes, yes. Well then, move along now. Even if its me, I dont want show people whats going to happen to me quite soon.

As Professor Harian glanced at the silver devil muttering he a goner? she turned back and smiled gently to the students.

I understand.

As she looked at the backs of the students that had bowed their heads again, she thought.

This really is the end, right?

Neither her body nor her mind could take it any longer.

And besides, she could feel the fear creeping up on her from what the small lifeform warming up her hands in front of her would do to her!

I, you know all the students are going already, wouldnt it be alright to just end it here?

Heehee, ya know unni, owner said giving up'(1) should only be used to count cabbages. Not all the studentsve left the academy yet, rite?

Crack. Crack.

As if the small sounds from those knuckles signalled the end of the world, Professor Harians face blanched as she yelled.

I, I Im really at my limits? Look at Muamy over there!

Where Professor Harians fingers were pointing to was Professor Muam, sprawled out with both eyes and his mouth wide open droning heeeehh~ continually.

The blank page state where the body couldnt take in any more of all the blessings embedded in Arcadia!

And if someone that knew Professor Muam were to see him in that state, no one would think that he was the same person!

Nup! Unni can do it!

I cant do it, I cant! Khaaaaaaaaaaagh!

As we listened to the desperate screams echoing throughout the first floor of Yugrasia, the students moved onwards wiping something flowing from their eyes.

You know

No, dont look back. Dont let the teachers sacrifices have been in vain.

But its too cruel!

At one female students tears, the others fell silent.

A moment of silence. And the tushitushi noises that could be clearly heard through that silence.

As the fear that was engrained into everyones bodies began to make them shiver, the student council president Nerkia shouted.

We have trodden over many corpses to reach where we are! And without a single man left behind, we have managed to reach our Avalon with our own hands!

As Nerkia shouted, pointing to Avalon (the schools main gates), everyones gazes turned to Avalon.

How much have we worked, to get to that place? How much have we suffered? With the reward in front of our eyes, what must we do?

All of the other students closed their mouths.

That is to move forward.

The person that broke the long string of tushitushis and screams was none other than Aris.

Even as Aris bit her lip, she said to Nerkia with a clear, ringing voice.

No matter how pitiful they are, no matter how much we know their pain, they were our teachers, and our enemies.

Yes, if they are our enemies, then there is no need for us to show mercy. Even more so if they are our teachers. Because what we need to do is improve even more upon their sacrifices.

The majority of people nodded their heads at Nerkia and Ariss resolute faces, but there were also people that didnt agree.

And moreover, the magic tower faction all gravitated to the president, a fellow magic tower faction member.

Whereas the empire faction all gathered around the fellow empire faction member the vice-president, and that was all just pathetic.

Because

Um, Lady Nermia, if its alright then would you be free to consult with me about tomorrows imperial festival

No, I will be the one to escort Miss Ria, Ferrell.

Kireil

Ahh, this is bloody annoying.

These god damned small fry, instead of improving themselves theyre playing politics.

Just as the student council president was farewelling the other magic tower faction students with an obviously fake smile, he came to me to annoy me and.

The vice-president quickly takes up a position on my other side.

Ah, I still have training left to do today.

But both of them are sons of high-ranking marquis families.

I wanted nothing more to just blow them all away and yell at them to piss off and dont bother me, but unfortunately this was not the evil organization Howling.

It was heaven compared to when I had to fight tooth and nail with my fellows over a single meal, but it was incredibly annoying that I couldnt just send them flying as I wanted to.

Because of that I was just glossing over them with noble-like smiles and laughs, but it seemed like these annoying things just werent going to drop off me today.

Tomorrow is the imperial festival. I am very aware that milady is making endless efforts towards the study of magic, but what about resting just for today?

While I dislike the idea of making the same opinion as him, for once I agree. Miss Ria is our Marciss hidden card and our strongest one.

Thank you for evaluating me so highly, even when our seniors are here.

As I expressed etiquette by lifting the hems of my skirt ever so slightly, everyone else wasted no time shaking their heads and fawning over me.

Damn it, I want to wear pants. Men just need to nod their heads a bit!

No, that is an undeniable truth, after all.

To ceaselessly pursue academia even during the holidays, you are an exemplary student of Marcis.

Thats not an exemplar but obvious fact.

Just why are they so confident in their abilities?

Can they even sleep soundly with that level of skill?

When I thought of the Yugrasia that I saw thered be no way they could ever hope to beat them.

-Arent they just believing in owner?

-Then theyre insane.

Our instructor told us.

No matter what strategy or strategem you employed, there was nothing better than force of numbers.

In a battle between groups, there was a limit to what a single individual could do.

No matter how powerful I was, if I ran out of stamina, if I ran out of mana then I would lose.

Even if I was healed up at the end of a match, my mental state was hard to recover.

But since there isnt even a decent support among the student council

And so as I held my false smile while wondering if they seriously couldnt hear me internally yelling at them to piss off before I killed them.

I barely managed to shake off those two leeches, and by the time I finished warming up in the academys training grounds, the sky had already begun to darken.

I should head back.

As I wandered home wondering whether I should shower off the sweat running down my back, or take a long relaxing bath for the first time in a while.

We, are, victorious!

Uwwoooooooohh!

Wh, what?

I heard shouts filled with madness.

I realised instantly that something had happened, and also realised where that something was.

Yugrasia, again?

The Four Great Academies were always geographically close to each other, and Marcis and Yugrasia in particular was close enough that only a single wall separated the two schools, and Yugrasia was closer to the city center than all the other academies as well.

Meaning, if I went home, then naturally I would pass by Yugrasia.

Because of that, the moment I realised that the source of the sound was Yugrasia, I immediately used magic to run as fast as I could to the source of the sound and what I saw there were countless warriors.

The complete opposite of the people who used their titles as students as an entitlement for sloth Id been with not long ago!

Just what had they done so that their uniforms that were enchanted with defence magic and cleaning spells were in tatters like that?

No, even before that, just what would make all those students voluntarily stay at the academy for so long?

Could I could I fight all of them?

I didnt know why, but as I saw the students crying as they left through the gates of their academy, I couldnt help but stare at them, unaware of my own gulps of nervousness.
