Chapter 112


Chapter 112 Second Academy, Defeats Demon


"Dammit, what"s with you brats . . . . Just die alreadyyyyyy!"


The demon who encamped itself in the sky above the schoolyard shot out magic at the yard while looking irritated .


Not even one of the demon"s attacks reached the students .


There is no hole in the formation the students have taken up .


Likewise, the students" attacks couldn"t reach the demon .


However, unlike the demons, the students keep up the attack while fully knowing that it won"t hit it .


In order to avert the demon"s attention from Alma and Ruli .


"I can"t miss now can I . . . . "


Alma is aiming her bow at the demon slightly away from the students .


And then she unleashed the arrow after stopping breathing for an instant .


"Mu?"


The demon noticed the arrow Alma shot and seemingly realized that it could cause it harm unlike anything so far .


The demon moved slowly while still constructing a magic, to evade the arrow .


However, the arrow changed its direction as if it was pursuing the demon .


The demon seemed to judge that it had no choice, it canceled constructing a magic, unfolded its wings wide and accelerated .


Yet the arrow still attempted to pursue the demon, however, it eventually couldn"t keep up and pa.s.sed by the demon .


"The h.e.l.l was that arrow--ha!? . . . . AGAAAAAAAA!"


The demon"s question changed into a painful cry halfway through .


The arrow that it should have evaded changed direction midway and stabbed its back .


"【Guided Mana Enchant】 . . . . I didn"t know you could curve it like that now . . . . "


Ruli commended Alma when she saw how the arrow moved .


However, Alma who shot the arrow looks perplexed too .


"I did guide it until halfway through . . . But, I have no idea about that last move too you know? I don"t think an arrow could move like that . "


"That wasn"t guided by Alma? Which means, it"s this . . . Mathi-kun is amazing as always . . . "


Ruli muttered as she looked at a paper where a magic circle was drawn .


Ruli has learned how to compose magic circle herself, but she can"t even begin to imagine the way to augment spells that could pursue high-speed flight of a demon and even penetrate its defense .


"Mathi-kun is Mathi-kun and all, but I think Ruli is the only one who can do an augment like that! Look at how it stuck on the demon!"


Alma pointed at the fallen demon .


The arrow is stuck on its back--or to be more correct, its two wings like it"s sewn them .


Even demons would be forced to give up flying after that .


And in front of the fallen demon--


"It fell! Rearrange the lines!"


"""""YES!"""""


Are the students who could only block the demon"s attacks until now .


The students encircled the demon while maintaining a distance away and shoot out their magic all at once .


This time it reaches .


A solo attack magic from a student won"t be effective against a demon .


However, it"s a different story if you concentrate dozens of the same magic .


The attack magic that rained down incessantly without pause produces synergistic effect, mercilessly shaving down the demon"s endurance .


Alma also backs them up with arrows specialized in firepower .


Realizing that it can"t fly anymore, the demon counterattacked with attack magic, but all of them were blocked by the barrier Disqualified Crest students set up .


And when the demon tried to close their distance to slash at the students, Alma shot it with arrows embedded with interference magic, stopping it on its track .


Thus the students" encirclement is maintained without ever collapsing .


And the magic attacks continued for a while--


"We did it!"


The demon finally died .


Nevertheless, they carefully confirmed its death using magic before breaking their formation .


"We beat it! We beat a demon!"


"I can"t believe it, mere students defeating a demon . . . . "


"We"ve got to hurry and report to various places!"


Students and teachers are rejoicing together .


They used this chance to toss Alma and Ruli up in the air .


A lot of people ran out of the school in order to convey what happened to the capital .


Their expressions were mixed with fatigue and also glee .


"I"m going to tell Mathi-kun!"


"Me too!"


Ruli and Alma ran toward the dungeon to tell Mathias their victory .



--A voice resounded amidst the celebratory air .


From the direction of the sky where the demon that was defeated earlier came, sky that should have been empty .


"Huh? Berlias went and got done in . "


"Yeah . And I told him . We were gonna have an all-you-can-kill anyway, so we should have prepared our formation first . "


"Now now, don"t say that . Thanks to him, we got more prey to kill no? Look at that . Our prey are rejoicing with stupid looks on their faces . "


Appearing from thin air along with grating voices--were demons .


And it"s not just one or two .


--14 .


That"s the number of demons floating in the capital"s sky .


There isn"t anyone left in the capital who"s calm enough to count their number though .


"You"re kidding me . . . . "


"Just how many are them . . . . "


"There"s no way we can win this . . . . "


Merely defeating a demon necessitated a total war .


And now it"s 14 .


In addition, the students are running out of mana by the battle earlier .


Their situation is hopeless no matter how you look at it .


The students have lost their fighting spirit, none is even holding their weapon straight .


There wasn"t even anyone who got the idea to run .


"Then, let"s get to--aa?"


In that situation, the demon who was going to shoot a magic at the defenseless students--suddenly stopped .


No, to be more correct, he was stopped .


Because that demon was cut in two by a sword that projected out of thin air .


The cut demon died without even being able to scream and fell on the ground .


" . . . . Ha?"


Other demons had perplexed looks on their faces because of the unrealistic scene that played out in front of their eyes .


As if saying that it must be some kind of mistake .


However, a mistake it is not .


As if proving to them that it was real, a sword showed up again--and another demon"s head fell down .


"U-UWAAAAAAAAA!"


Their thought finally caught up after the second demon died .


The demons who have been driven by fear begin swing their swords around haphazardly .


It was meaningless .


The screaming demon who stood out became fodder of a sword that came out of thin air within five seconds .


No one saw the figure of the one who wielded the sword .


However, the students who saw the current situation are vaguely aware of the ident.i.ty of the one behind it .


--Because there is only one person in the capital who can possibly do such a feat .


" . . . Fourteen huh . That"s more than I expected . "
