Chapter 66: Fake Ones at a Place of Passage

It has no origin

It has no heart

It simply has motion

Point Allocation (Puppet)

The first to notice was Muneshi+ge back toward the school building

…An attack!

There was no question in his mind with this presence and thesewrong with his intuition This was a hostile action, just like the thrust of a blade

The figures jumped down from above

There were three Muneshi+ge could tell one was larger and the other tere skinny

“I am on my way!”

With that, he leaped toward Ookubo and Masazuures

He spread his arms to protect those two from the sky and he heard Kanou’s footsteps as she ran up from the stairs in the back

He turned around and held Kamenuki up defensively

A moment later, three blasts split the air as they flew in from the shi+p’s bow

…The 3rd Special Duty Officer!!

Naito was sniping thee and her shots hit

“…!”

But the three figures were only bent and not broken by the impacts

Gold Mar: “It didn’t even da on, Ga-chan!?”

Mal-Ga: “Judge Maybe the enemy has finally built some anti-Asama level defenses!”

Tachibana Wife: “I don’t think that’s possible”

Gin is so quick-witted even in a crisis! rejoiced Muneshi+ge while looking to the enemy

They had arrived suddenly above hiuards

And they had entirely negated the sniper shots that had hit them as they jumped in He realized why this was:

“These are string-controlled automatons!”

As Gin stood halfway up the stairs and focused on the area below, Kanou ran past her and sahat the enemy was

…Automatons!?

She was also an autoical parts and looked nearly human

But the enemy was different They had a special syste destroyed

“Their s, so did they use that to absorb the impact!?”

Their primary components could be found anywhere on the Musashi+ at the moment

They were made of wood, metal, cloth, as well as the tabletops and frames to the desks and chairs in the schools There were even parts that looked like broos, and wastepaper baskets

They were cobbled together into a humanoid form, and…

…They’re s

They were extremely thin fibers Most likely, they were an animal material, not a plant one Silk would work, but they would want so those extres to control them, and…

“They were given autonomy to make them automatons instead of mere dolls!”

The technique behind thee had defeated the night before Due to the components used, Kanou had inferior durability, but she had the upper hand with her light weight and her mobility

“Here I come!”

What had been bent by the sniper shots were only s and basic materials

They were now preparing to land by retaking their shape intheir bodies Two of them were skinny wooden automatons The third wore a shi+p’s canvas as a cloak and hood, and…

…A woman with tords!?

The woman drew her swords She held a metal pipe in each hand

But…

“————”

She used gravitational control to crush them both into blades

This gravitational control was a spell Several disposable shi+nto spell charms fluttered down from below her cloak, but the wooden dolls on either side formed blades in the same way

“————!”

The three of theed forward

On the school’s roof, Naruze determined what the enemy was and exhaled

The scene beloas less than twenty meters away, and…

…This is probably an attack on the winner of the special student general assembly!

She started to stand up in order to juain and crouched down further

She did not head out to intercept The others there could handle it without her, so she needed to focus on their surroundings

“Burning Surroundings!”

Naruze opened her observation spell horizontally around her It was all drawn in based on a line drawing of the scenery

Mal-Ga: “ ‘Musashi+no’! I’ to send you so in the shadows around here!”

Musashi+no: “Thank you for the favorable viewpoint To be honest, the rest of the captain auto when it coers who are not stoays Over”

“Thanks,” said Naruze as she looked down again

The three auto back and Muneshi+ge as protecting those two

But Naruze saw someone else in the bottom of her vision: Oriotorai

She was the special student general assembly’s supervisor and their homeroom teacher, but she had not reacted at all to the attack

Why not? wondered Naruze before realizing the answer So was drawn in ink on the canvas worn by the female model automaton

…The six coins!?

Naruze knehat that was

…The emblem of Sanada Academy!

That immediately reminded her of the Sanada Ten Braves It also reminded her that the Ten Braves had a position above Special Duty Officer in Sanada, so they had the right to challenge Vice President Masazumi to a duel

In that case, this attack was a duel started by Sanada

This was an official conflict between acade Oriotorai could do The special student general asse with that either

They thought this through, thought Naruze And then…

“!?”

The ink eht When an armor panel for an elevated location was marked, special construction paint was used so it would vanish on its own and no one would have to go up there and erase it

That meant only Naruze and Oriotorai had seen the evidence that Sanada Academy was behind this

Then further e Kanou had run up from the stairs

As soon as the dark-skinned automaton reached the top of the stairs, she kept her body low and faced straight ahead

“Provisional Vice Chancellor’s Aide! Take Lady Ookubo and the Vice President and fall back!”

She charged straight toward the enemy

Naruze saw Kanou rush toward the enemy as a counterattack

She was unarmed, but she moved toward the enemy on the left

…What is she trying to do?

She was not using a spell An auto a spell powered by Internal Blessings But she did raise her left hand in front of her face

“…!”

Kanou fired what looked like a cannon blast

A tremor of the air surrounded as launched froht toward the automaton on the left

“————!”

The autoe

The skinny autos of its joints to absorb the impact

Its body bent fro toward it It swayed like a dried leaf dancing in the wind, but…

“…!?”

A split second later, the auto

Kanou’s attack had hit On top of that, it had captured the automaton and thrown it back into the school’s wall

As the Public Morals Co an opponent

This autoot, so how had Kanou captured it and gotten the ih to it?

…What is that?

When Naruze heard a sound like a surface being tightly stretched, she realized what had happened and what had done it

“A false arravitational control!?”

Kanou had already taken her next action

As the Public Morals Committee Head and as Ookubo’s aide…

…I must face our enemies
