「I"ll help you.」
He said that while walking next to her.
「Eisen…sama. Why are you here? Since when…」
Yurika looked up at Eisen"s face dizzily.
「I came here to meet a friend of mine that"s from the university… but since I"m already here, should I lend you a hand?」
Yurika was surprised after hearing such words from Eisen. This was not the time to be afraid. There"s a very strong man right in front of her.
(…the next thing I should do now is to quickly explain our situation.)
If he doesn"t know where he should go, then he won"t be able to help them. With this in her mind, she breathed in and immediately put together an explanation.
「Yes, about that! I have to tell you about the presence of a t.i.tan Ogre in the university―」
(But for the time being, I need your help to find the other three students that"s missing.)
She was about to say that, but before she could do so―
「Ah, it"s fine. I can get the gist of what"s happening so I know what I should do. The university"s president, Mel, she"s the one that"s fighting over there and you"re here because you can"t escape from this place without saving the students that were buried here, right? I"ve heard quite a lot of things about the situation.」
Eisen said, as if he had witnessed everything.
「W-What? How can it be… You"ve said it in much detail?」「」
At the present, only a few number people were aware of the happenings in the battlefield, but from whom did he gather such information when he just got here? Before Yurika could ask him about it, Eisen slowly walked towards the rubble and stared at a certain direction.
「Right here『Air, gently lift up this rubble』」
Waving his staff, he says this and the rubble slowly floated up. He then extends his hand at the opening the rubble made.
「I found you.」
He said and gently pulling a boy out of it.
「Uh…」
The boy was bleeding from his head and was unconscious, but he"s breathing.
「I"ll leave this child to you, Yurika.」
「Huh… Oh, yes! Thank you!」
Eisen then handed the student to Yurika and returned to face the rubble once again.
「Here"s the next one. There"s quite a lot of rubble here, so if you don"t carefully remove them, they might callpse.」
He started removing the rubble once again.
「Heave-ho… Okay.」
Eisen rescued an unconscious girl which he handed over to a staff not far away from them.
「Only one student is left, Yurika.」
「Ah, y-yes… You"re right, b-but how did you know the numbers of students that"s missing? It was as if you can see everything. It"s like you"re using a magic skill that can see through things.」
He suddenly arrived to this place and found the two missing students in no time. Yurika knew that Eisen was a Spirit Magician but he was too skillful for his job. Because she couldn"t see any figures of spirits, she was doubtful that he didn"t found them using the help of a spirit. But then, she wondered how he was able to do it and unconscious blurted out things from her mouth. When Eisen heard her words, he looked around the rubble before giving her an answer.
「I can hear a voice saying 『There"s a child here, please help him』.」
「What? I haven"t heard such a voice around here.」
「You might not hear it, but it"s just there from the number of rubbles. I can hear the voices coming from the piled up rubble of the well-built building, along with their intention of protecting the students.」
「Do you mean you can hear some voices coming from these rubble?」
Eisen nodded at her.
「They"ve been talking for quite some time now. I"ve heard the situation from these guys. The things which were built with human hands, though they were weak but it has a neat intention. Even now, I keep receiving their words that casually comes up in my mind.」
Eisen states this as he cleared up the rubble―
「The last one is here. No one is buried anymore, so please give it your best!『Air, please clear up the whole area』」
All the rubble right in front of a student suddenly floated up in the air. It was then
「I-Is it… g-G.o.d?」
One of the students that"s lying down trailed his voice.
「For G.o.d, it doesn"t seem to be a big deal… Everything"s going to be fine now.」[1]
When Eisen found the last one, he helped him up and carried the student to a simple mat prepared by the staff.
「Wow, you"re amazing… How did you find the missing students so easily?」
Looking at Eisen, Yurika didn"t say anything. To be able to pinpoint where the students were―no, in light what he has said to her, she thinks that Eisen probably knew everything. He must have learned everything from the rubbles.
(…A person who can hear the words from objects… That certainly goes beyond the scope of a Spirit Magician"s ability!)
Yurika remembered the story she heard from Mel a while ago. Although, at that those times, she was confused and didn"t clearly think of it. However, she understood it a little bit now. She thought he was a Spirit Magician.
(…But then again, this man is…)
Yurika thought while glancing at Eisen as she speculates about things.
「Sensei, I helped the students evacuate on the square!」
Then she heard that voice. There, it was Eisen"s companion waving her hands.
「Oh, thank you Rinne. Now then, what should we do next」
While muttering to himself, Eisen turned around from the rubble and glanced at the direction of the south.
「Eh? Eisen-sama? What"s next…? Don"t tell me…?」
「That"s right. My real goal here is to meet my disciple, Mel, the current president of this university.」
