Chapter 93.2 - Top Secret and Thousand Blade Festival [10] – part 2 (2/2)

「Can’t be helped. Let’s start the final battle!」

I poured all of my remaining spiritual power and swallowed the whole area in jet black darkness.

「What the hell is this?!」

「Idiot, didn’t you watch the Sword King Festival!? His power is『darkness』!」

「Don’t let your guard down! This darkness is still an unknown ability!」

The seniors began to make a fuss when they saw the darkness covering the ground.

「Then, here I go.」

After that, I kept fighting until the closing chime sounded.

After an hour-long battle, I returned to Year 1 Class A with a body full of fatigue.

When I slowly opened the door of the classroom,

「Allen! I’m glad you were safe!」

「To be unbeaten even after being attacked by that number of seniors… As expected, I guess.」

Ria and Rose, bandaged around their hands and feet, ran up to me.

「Aa, I managed somehow. Are you two alright?」

「Yes, this is nothing!」

「It’s just scratches. Don’t worry about it.」

「I see. That’s good.」

When we were talking about that, everyone in the class came over towards us.

「Yoyo, Allen. How much gin did you rake up?」

「Hehe, we’re competing to see who raked in the most!」

Everyone seemed to be interested in how much I collected.

「Oh yeah… I haven’t counted it yet, but I think I collected a good amount.」

I took out the large amount of gin notes from my pants and chest pockets.

「A-Are you for real?」

「This is much more than the entire class. No, it’s the top of the whole grade.」

Apparently this was a considerable amount. Dry laughs leaked out of everyone’s mouth.

A little later, the door opened vigorously, and Leia-sensei, holding a large box, walked in.

「Everyone, thank you for the hard work today! Collect the gin of Class A into this box. Hou! There’s a considerable amount of it! This probably stands a pretty good chance!」

She collected the gin that everyone had acquired into the box, and moved on to another class.

After that, as everyone was excitedly talking about who was tough and what kind of soul dress they used, an in-house broadcast began to sound.

「Everyone did a great job today! The Thousand Blade Festival and the Thousand Blade Shadow Festival were at a high level which was rarely seen in recent years! Now, let’s end the boring greetings here and move on to the results! The top of all classes in this year’s festival is… Year 1 Class A that demonstrated overwhelming earnings!」

At that moment,

「「「YOSHAAAA!」」」cries of joy broke out.

「W-We did it! This means we are the『Thousand Blade Academy’s Strongest』!」

「Yes! We are the strongest in both name and reality!」

「There’s a lot of monetary prizes, too! Oi Oi, how should we use it!?」

Everyone was so excited, and with that victory flow, they decided to hold a celebration party.

「What will you do, Ria?」

「Um… If Allen goes, I’ll go.」

「I see, then… Let’s go together!」

「Un!」

Then I went to the celebration party together with Ria. On this day, everyone engaged in lively conversations and celebrated till late at night.
