Chapter 8 Part1 (1/2)
Chapter 8. I came to end it all.
”What is this?”
The longer I looked at what was going on, the more I didn't understand. It seemed that by the end, all the schools got pretty much wiped.
The compet.i.titon was pretty much over at this rate. Several Yugrasia students were roaming the grounds taking care of leftover students from other schools. And the most powerful enemy student, Ria, was unable to move due to the vice pres' attacks.
Ria, who should normally be able to take on everyone in the Student Council at once, was barely fending off the vice president.
Well, I probably won't be able to take someone like him as well.
But there was one thing that made me realize that despite the current situation, I would never be able to win. This was because there were many skills that were being used that were illegal in the compet.i.tion.
Due to the fact that in the past, there were several a.s.sasination attempts between students due to a political struggle, many restrictions were put in place to prevent death.
But the type of magic that these kids were using were all things that could kill a normal person.
But then again, no one was dying. Even though the fight continuously got more and more intense, no one was dying.
One could say that the kids were controlling their power, but there was no way these enraged kids were able to control anything.
No, in the first place, no one should be able to control the power of the Mistilteinn. If Ria didn't manage to block that, the council president would be dead. If that happened, the fate of Yugrasia would be completely sealed.
I almost lost the one job that I thought of continuing all the way till my retirement.
”Professor Nicerwin? If you would come with us.”
Was my predictions correct? Several government officials came over to the Yugrasia faculty to say this. But why me?!
I'm definitely going to be bombarded with complaints! I might even end up having to resign!
”Alright.”
But I couldn't do anything except follow them.
8.25 Their Story
[1] Ria El Nermia's Story
”I almost died.”
-No no no no no! What are you talking about?! The one who almost died was me, you idiot!
Sutr shouted at me out of anger. Normally, I'd shut him up in an instant, but since his arm got chopped off, I decided to let him off the hook.
”…Don't interfere!”
The vice president of Yugrasia walked towards me with a vast amount of killing intent.
Just a moment ago, I tried to block Mistilteinn with Sutr, as it was said to be the ultimate G.o.d-killing weapon, but not a demon-killing one. My suspicions came out to be true.
-No, that's not the case at all? Demons get screwed by that thing as well? If it wasn't for the Mistilteinn being a replica, and the barrier that was set up in front of me, my life would've been in danger!
”Did you forget that murder is forbidden in the compet.i.tion?”
”One does not use such a word when killing an insect.”
I couldn't say anything when I heard the man's relentless words. There weren't many people even in the Howling organization that thought like this man.
Right. To this person, nothing mattered more that the one target in his mind.
-If you can't win, then don't fight in the first place.
I thought of my teacher's words from the past. Fight something like that right now? Impossible. Normally I'd be able to go toe-to-toe with this man, but with Sutr's arm gone, this was impossible.
Sutr probably could regenerate his arm given a bit of time, but there was no way the other side would wait that long. I could probably fight on my own, but not against a man who took in Loki himself.
The only answer here was to not fight. I needed to do something else.
The other side was here because… of just one reason. Jealousy towards couples. And it seemed that this jealousy was only directed towards the council president of Yugrasia.
In other words.
”You envy him.”
”Kuh!”
The man flinched after hearing this, and roared in anger.
”What do you know?! T, this isn't envy!”
After saying this, the man glared at me with hateful eyes.
”You're the same! A good family, a lot of talent, and pretty to boot. You probably have a boyfriend already!”
…No? Excuse me, but I'm solo as well?
