7.9 Their Story

[4] The story of a certain organization

“Just&h.e.l.lip; just what went wrong?”

Mercen, a member of the rebellion, thought of what had went wrong in this operation.

Their plan was perfect. They had predicted everything about the compet.i.tion correctly. They knew Nerkia would be kidnapped, they knew that the schools would ally against Yugrasia, and they even knew of what compet.i.tion the empire would present.

Everything was perfect.

But.

“&h.e.l.lip;Annihilated..?”

She bit her lips, and looked around herself. There were only ruins. Normally, in a war game like this one, schools tended to move around frequently, but Arucia had the tendency to stay where they were. As such, the rebellion decided to base their movements around Arucia.

They were planning on taking these students as hostage to threaten the empire with, as they attacked the imperial castle.

But most of their forces in the war games were already incapac.i.p.ated.

All thanks to the legendary strike from the elementals.

That attack wasn’t something that Nerkia and the other schools blocked by themselves. The reason why they could get through safely was because of the rebellion’s sacrifice.

The rebellion had attempted to block the strike before Nerkia, and most of their mages had to retire after attempting to do so.

The swordsmen were still able to fight, but the mages weren’t.
