7. Is your backside safe? (12)

#14 Their story: Karen rel Regrena’s story.

“I’m gonna kill him, I’m gonna kill him. This time I’m definitely gonna kill him.”

There were things you should do as a person, and things you shouldn’t.

And Risen always, kept on doing the things you shouldn’t.

Despite this, as an old friend of his I always left it at the line of leaving him alive.

But this time, even if he overstepped the line, he took it much too far.

Escape? Escape alone? And moreover, he’d been eating the food supplies alone to bolster his own strength?

When Professor Nicerwin came and told us of Risen’s escape stories, for a moment, no one could say anything.

Because none of us had even thought of the possibility that our camaraderie was so shallow to betray each other like that.

And that trust was shattered.

Even if this year’s academy had turned into a place where no one could trust anyone, where yesterday’s ally could be today’s enemy, and yesterday’s enemy could be today’s ally.

To think he’d betray us even in this situation.

Because of that, our total food supplies decreased by one.

Even if that difference was irrelevant due to the disappearance of one who always ate a lunchbox by himself unbeknown to the rest of us.

Even so, that doesn’t erase this feeling of betrayal.

After everyone finished their breakfast of anger, we all hardened our resolves.

There was no way someone with the ‘right’ to come to school would wag school to end up here again.

And so of course he would take classes, and of course there would be a war to go homel.

That was our opportunity.

We were feeling slightly apologetic to the other students, because no one would deny that Risen was a highly important piece in our strategies.

But, to quell our anger, it demanded Risen’s blood.

“It’s time!”

“Eighth floor, everyone to the eighth floor now!”

“Faster than Risen! If anyone finds him then hold tight onto him, don’t anyone dare let him get away!”

“Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. ”

Everyone was energetic.

Risen would know fully well of our state right now so he’d most certainly run for his life.

No, he might instead use some cheap trick to dig another trap for us.

But contrary to my expectations, Risen was sitting at his seat in the classroom, in a perfectly normal way.

“Huh, vice-pres?”

Just who the hell was that boy waving his hand cheerfully at me from his seat?

Did he forget that he betrayed us yesterday?

Or was our shock so big that we didn’t realise how many months had passed by?

Right? That had to be it, right? Otherwise him approaching with a smile as if nothing was wrong would be weird, right?

“Mm, Risen.”

“Iyahh, thank goodness the first person I met was vice-pres.”

As he came to me with an actually glad expression I didn’t even think of bringing out my summon.

Because I was too shocked? Or lost for words?

No.

My summon is a drake, said to be a descendant of dragons.

If he smashed Risen with his forelegs, Risen will die.

Of course Risen dying isn’t what I’m worried about.

Risen’s going to die anyway.

But, killing him in one hit is much too peaceful, no?

And besides, rather than my drake, I want to kill him with my own two hands.

But since I should at least hear out his last words, I will talk with him.

As he came up to right in front of me he smiled and said.

“Sniff sniff. Yep, you smell like I thought.”

The words that would hasten his death.

“Mm. yep, now then. Die.”

Flashing a smile of my own that wouldn’t lose to Risen’s, I raised a hand.

I never formally learned how to fight barehanded, but at this moment, I could throw a stronger punch than anyone.

Like I sent my mana to my summon, I imbued magic power into my fists.

Although concentrating mana into a single part of my body was quite hard, perhaps due to be powerful desire to beat the crap out of Risen, just as my two fists began to blaze with the blue light of mana.

“And so, tada?”

“And so what, exactly?”

He took something out of his dimensional pouch.

And that something was unfamiliar, yet at the same time very familiar to me.

Well of course.

It was something I used to see every day, but hadn’t seen since I lost the ‘right to go to school.’

It was my uniform.

“Why do you have that?”

“Because, I got it from your room!”

Now just what manner of bullshit does this little shit keep barking at me?

Considering how he’d been acting like a dog on a daily basis, had he finally learned to bark like a dog with human speech?

“I’m pretty sure the dormitories, especially the girls’ dormitories should be under heavy security?”

“When I opened my eyes after I cracked it it was the academy after all? It was actually pretty easy when I tried.”

At Risen’s gestures the skirt on my uniform began to make flapping noises.

Alright then. As I thought, this little shit must die. This is unrecyclable trash that shouldn’t exist in society.

“Die.”

“W, wait a second!”

With a ‘shwik!’ noise the silver devil would bring up much too often, my fists cleaved through the air after Risen but he dodged easily.

“Very good, very good. There’s no way you would get hit that easily. This’ll be fun?”

“Hang on, vice-pres wasn’t that type of character? I understand you were hot-tempered, but making that evil smile was my character trait?”

“The student council already erased all records of your existence. Your character, I’ll make good use of it.”

Although it was a bit uncomfortable in pyjamas, but I warmed up my body with light steps of footwork.

Although I didn’t learn unarmed combat, I did learn self-defence fencing at home.

Let’s use the footwork I learned then together with this.

“Wait, can you still say that after seeing this?”

Tok. Tok. As he saw me start lightly jumping on the spot, he hurriedly took something else out of his pouch.

Two small pieces of cloth.

Coloured black, and again very familiar items.

“Now, take a… kuuhk?”

“Alright, today we settle this.”

I smashed my fist into the solar plexus of the asshole who casually took out my underwear.

“Tch.”

Because he very quickly backstepped, the attack didn’t connect properly.

At the light impact I revved up with the intention to kill him for sure this time, and just then.

“You really stink, you know? Be honest. How long have you worn that uniform? It’s been a week since we’d all been trapped in there, are you even changing your underwear?”

“Yeah, and so what.”

I smell? I know that.
