Chapter 94 - Five Great Powers and Thirteen Knights of the Oracle [1] (2/2)

I sensed danger and immediately approached the president.

「President, please stop the vicious joke! Haven’t we already solved yesterday’s incident?!」

In response to my slight meanness, she exposed me to the seniors in return. We should have been even with that.

However,

「Because, Allen-kun… you defeated all the students that I sent forward all on your own. You can’t call that even!」

The president pointed out such childish things.

「S-Such tyranny…」

Certainly, I defeated them all, but…

That exhausted me quite a bit too, so that should be enough.

「Um… Well then, will you listen to a request from onee-san?」

「……I understand. However, I ask that it be within the bounds of common sense.」

I can’t blindly abide by the president’s『request』.

The reason is that there was one case where the vice-president was requested to get Blood Diamond from the Holy Ronelia Empire.

「Yes, of course. Now we can reconcile.」the president said, and laughed

(What kind of “request” will she shoot at me?)

Just thinking about it, upsets my stomach.

「Haa… Well, I’m going to clear up the misunderstanding now, so please be silent and eat your lunch or something.」I said.

「O-K!」the president replied.

Then I explained the incident last night to Ria and Rose carefully.

「Oh, so that’s what it was… Thank goodness…」

「Seriously, I was totally surprised…」

I heaved a sigh of relief as light returned to their eyes.

Then the regular meeting and lunch party finally started.

「Which reminds me… What happened to Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai?」Ria looked around the room while opening the lid of her lunch box.

「They are recuperating because of yesterday’s fatigue. It’s seems that Allen-kun beat them up good, and they probably can’t move properly for another couple of days…」

「A-Ahaha… I feel a little bad…」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai stood up no matter how many times they got knocked down.

In particular, Lilim-senpai, she said, “I can’t afford to lose to my junior!” and came at me again and again.

Because of that, I had to consume a lot of darkness.

As a result, I was forced to rest and fell into the president’s ambush.

「Both Lilim and Ferris are strong, so don’t worry.」

When the president summed up the story as such,

「-By the way, how was the haunted house?」she asked.

After that, the stories about the Thousand Blade Festival opened up.

The story of the quality improvement for next year’s haunted house.

The story of Jean Bael, the Head of Swordsmanship Club.

Talks about the strategy to win the Thousand Blade Shadow Festival.

Then, when the topic of the Thousand Blade Festival was exhausted,

「Now that I think about it, Leia-sensei was off today. I hear there was an urgent call from the government… Do you know anything, president?」

I asked about the message in the morning that I was curious about.

「Yes, I know. The Emergency Five Academy Directors’ Meeting. I heard my father was participating too.」

She said and picked a fried egg from the corner of the lunch box to her mouth.

「The agenda is『Black Organization』…Is it?」

「Yes. The government is really at a loss as to how to deal with the Black Organization. They are doing as they please. Just when we received news that they cooked up problems in Vesteria Kingdom, the very next day, they invaded our country! Recently, there are rumors that they have dealings with the Polyesta Federation.」

As the daughter of House Arcstria, she probably harbours strong animosity towards the Black Organization.

「And… As I found out recently, the Black Organization is looking around for rare “monsters” called “phantom spirit”.」the president continued.

At that moment, Ria’s hand, which was carrying rice, stopped all of a sudden.

「…What’s up, Ria? Did food get stuck in your throat?」

And when I held out a glass of water,

「N-No… It’s okay, don’t worry about it.」

She shook her head with an awkward smile on her face.

「I see, that’s good.」

「Un, thank you.」

When Ria and I were having such an exchange, Rose, who was not good at difficult explanations, interjected into it.

「We heard that the directors of the Five Academy were gathering and holding an emergency meeting, but… what about this city’s defences?」

…Certainly, Rose is right.

Each director of Five Academy has tremendous authority and “power”.

All of them leaving the city at the same time, even an amateur could see that it was a dangerous thought.

「Well, it’s certainly stretched a little thin, but… don’t worry. The schedule of the emergency meeting is super top secret. There is no need to worry about information leakage. The Black Organization wouldn’t be able to attack at such good timing.」

The moment the president said that, a huge explosion echoed.

「「「Wha?!」」」

When we hurriedly looked out the window, our gymnasium was up in flames.

Moreover, it was not only that.

A group dressed in black cloaks climbed over the outer wall and invaded one after another.

「The Black Organization?!」

Immediately after the president shouted so, an in-house broadcast sounded.

「Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! Our academy is under attack from a mysterious group which seems to be the Black Organization! Students should intercept as much as possible! I repeat! Our academy is–」

Thousand Blade Academy, which was hit by a surprise attack, fell into unprecedented chaos.

「-Allen-kun, Ria-san, Rose-san, will you help me?」

「Yes, of course!」

「Yes!」

「Leave it to me.」

And we began to move at once to intercept the Black Organization which had invaded Thousand Blade Academy.
