Chapter Chapter 79: 10. We came, we saw, we won (4) (2/2)
But I lost so many things in the process of getting stronger.
Namely countless things involving time and freedom!
“Uwoooooooh!”
“Impossible, he’s getting even stronger!”
“Are there no limits to the Trickster!”
As I knocked down the Arucia students that fell shouting extremely cheesy lines, as I cleanly confirmed the kills as Professor Nicerwin taught me to, I left the area.
The great thing about this event was that if you knocked them down and kept hitting them until they were summoned as a casualty, you could confirm kills quite easily.
For the record, I was already a pro at getting hit, so I knew perfectly well how hard you had to hit a person in order to knock them out, so my kills were usually confirmed with just a single hit.
-So, are you happy?
-No!
I snapped at Loki who kept poking where it hurt just as I was about to forget about them, but Loki only snickered and enjoyed it.
Damn it, he wouldn’t be able to say these things if he got hit by the silver devil.
Look at Athena.
She keeps getting hit with Lady Aris, so they get along very well together.
And the other first year god-class summoners also got very good at using the powers of their gods.
Since they all felt a strong sense of camaraderie with each other after going through countless pains together…
“Oh, vice-pres!”
And as I wondered how I would subject Loki to the devil’s tushitushi, I heard a voice calling for me from further away.
“Ah, you were a second year, right? Have you encountered the other schools yet?”
“I met someone from Marcis, but he tried to use magic so I sent him off in one shot.”
The smiling female student’s face was slick with sweat.
This entire strategy involved using everyone’s entire mana pool and yet she still defeated a Marcis student in that state.
“You beat the enemy, while using spirits?”
“Yes, since he was a man I kicked him in that place, and he immediately started foaming and was summoned out.”
Hm?
“That place?”
“Yes, that place. Penis.”
“Ah, re, really?”
Her saying penis with such a cute face makes me think of a vegetable instead,(1) but she said it was attached to a man.
Ah, and she said she ended him in one shot, too.
“O Lady Sermir, may the enemy’s descendants be in a better place…”
“Vice-pres?”
As a fellow man, I prayed for them to be born in the next world.
“But still, if you kicked him there out of nowhere, that’s a bit dangerous…”
“But that’s what Professor Nicerwin told us to do…”
“D, did he?”
Professor Nicerwin is, as we thought, a devil.
To think he’d tell them to do that as a fellow man… wait, hold up!
“He didn’t only teach it to you, did he?”
“Huh? Ah, no, out of the people that participated in this event, he told all the female students…”
“Go thaaat-a-way!”
I pointed her in the direction of our rendezvous point and hurriedly activated Loki’s shoes.
In this event, the number of male and female participants from Yugrasia were similar to each other.
Although I didn’t bother counting accurately, if there were roughly 50 of them, and if even half of them were following Professor Nicerwin’s advice, then that meant that there were 25 of them.
Meaning, 25 female students of Yugrasia that were being controlled by the devil were…
“Kuaaaahhhhgh!”
“You, you girls are all evil!”
“There it is!”
At the desperate screams of a man from a direction far away, I immediately accelerated to my max speed and arrived to where I heard the sound coming from.
“Ghhh… I’m too late.”
There was a male student in Mercaria’s uniform, collapsed and foaming at his mouth.
And there was one of our academy’s female students, who was facing off against another Mercaria student who was looking back with horrified eyes, while clutching his p… I mean, cupping his groin and shivering in fear.
“Risen sunbae?”
“I’ll defeat them according to the plan, so head over that way.”
“Yes, sunbae!”
As the female student casually followed the wall and out of our sight, I bowed my head slightly to the Mercaria student.
“Sorry, I came too late…”
“Ggghhh… you… you’ve done something you should never have done no matter how badly you needed to win!”
To the student who looked at me with eyes full of resentment, I had nothing to say.
“So that no more casualties emerge… I’ll make it quick.”
And so having lost one man and brought another salvation, I ran my hardest so as to lose as few of the empire’s futures as possible.
To the last stage of the plan.
#8 Their story: A certain Marcis student’s story.
“Alright, the foundations for our win are set!”
“Keep your distance!”
“Even if one of us goes down, just heal them immediately!”
“Everything according to the plan!”
At my words, the seniors started to issue commands to their juniors.
No matter what anyone said, the strongest school in a group was Marcis.
Therefore, we prioritised our first steps in this event in gathering as many people together as possible.
And thus, with the assistance of numerous spells, 20 people had managed to gather in one place.
Although it seemed that it took longer to get together than I had anticipated, 20 people getting together in this convoluted labyrinth was an alright result.
“Now, move out!”
With people skilled at barrier and defense magics at the rear, healers in the middle, as well as people capable of decent firepower.
And I was a future battlemage prospect myself, one that could even go toe to toe against Arucia students in close combat!
And with this, our victory was…
“Huh? Huh? Huh?!”
“H, hang on! What the heck is that?!”
All washed away by the giant tidal wave surging from the depths of the labyrinth.
#9 Their story: A certain organization’s story.
The Labyrinth was an event marked by countless assassinations in the history of the imperial festival!
Although it was near impossible now due to various safety measures, but we, the anti-empire army who were trained solely to assassinate the emperor!
“Buuaaaaghhghgk”
Were all washed away as a giant tidal wave swept in.
