Chapter Chapter 100: . (2/2)

“Desk! On the desk!”

“Ah, here it is. Ah, the pres is over here. He’s in the room used as food storage.”

Thanks to the truly detailed explanation, I found out where the Mercaria student council president was.

I approached them to thank them for the information, but why were they running away?

I’m not a scary person?

-I’m starting to get the feeling I chose the wrong contractor…

And now for some reason the Spirit King is saying something weird as well, now what’s with him.

I’m just doing my best to survive as well!

“Is it here?”

It was the smallest of the castles that had been assigned to Mercaria, but it was also the furthest away from Yugrasia.

Normally it wouldn’t be used as the main base, but as Arucia, Marcis and Mercaria had all joined in an alliance, it seemed that they had chosen the location furthest from Yugrasia.

“Now, then.”

If I went through the front door then of course they wouldn’t believe me.

Learning from experience, I used a wind elemental to fly into the castle.

“Intruder!”

“Enemy spotted in the air!”

“There’s only one, get him!”

Correction, I tried and was noticed.

“I knew it!”

But I had also expected this!

Since three days ago, when I had spoken out about Professor Nicerwin, nothing had gone right for me.

I’d been kidnapped by Professor Nicerwin and beaten up by the silver devil, I’d fallen into Risen’s devious trap and became an evil asshole who would even use his lover, and I was being chased my students who were trying to actually kill me because I’d betrayed the academy.

“But just this!”

I blocked 26 spells that were casted at me, deflected 82 more back to the ground and caused massive destruction, once I landed I used earth elementals to create 23 earth pillars to hoist up the 23 students that had come charging in at me to effectively imprison them 10m above the ground.

“P, please… spare me…”

And I laid a light hand on the Mercaria pres who had raged at me, not believing me, to the end.

-Light?

-Yes, that is light by Yugrasia standards, O King.

-Yugrasia standards…

“Kuhk…”

“Hey now, the student council president can’t fall that easily. Who’s gonna lead the students if their pres falls?”

As the teleportation spell to the healers began to kick in, I hurriedly used a water elemental to heal him.

Lately the equation [healing = increased time getting the living crap beaten out of you!] had formed in the night study so I wasn’t as practiced at healing as I used to be, but it was good enough to stop him from being forcefully retired.

“Kugh.. Cruel… bastard…”

“No I’m telling you, I’m on your side. Even if I heal you you’re still complaining.”

I even kind enough to wipe the blood off the corners of his mouth.

“I’m just here because I have a message from the Arucia student council president, Kiir. ”

“No… wait a second, why is the Yugrasia student council president the one carrying a message from the Arucia student council president?”

Mercaria’s vice-president said with a voice reeking of disbelief. Unlike Mercaria’s president, their vice-president hadn’t taken as much damage and as such his words were more comprehensible.

“I said it before, but I’m on Arucia’s side now?”

“No seriously, that’s what I’m trying to say! Why the hell is the Yugrasia student council president on Arucia’s side!”

He asked me to tell him so I told him, but he simply got angrier.

He’s weird.

“Hm…”

But even so, right now we’re on the same side.

I need to explain it simply for him, what should I say…

“That’s it. Mm. Yep. Why I’m at Arucia?”

“Why?”

“The power of love!”

A leaden silence filled the room.

As I thought, everyone was speechless at my flawless explanation.

“That’s how it is, so listen up. These are Kiir’s orders. There’s no point in defending Mercaria, so get everyone to pack up and come to the Arucia main base.”

“Everyone? You’re telling us to just hand over 1000 points over to Yugrasia?”

The other members of Mercaria’s student council, who hadn’t let out a peep so far, began to raise their heads one by one.

Their eyes were filled with strong doubt and suspicion.

“It’s true, isn’t it? Besides…”

Heated fire. Flexible wind. Cold water. Durable earth.

“I don’t have a reason to lie to you. If I was lying, beating you all would be a simple job.”

I summoned four highest-rank elementals of the four cardinal elements and smiled brightly.

Perhaps it was due to contracting with the Spirit King of Lightning, but lately I could contract even more highest-rank spirits after I met Professor Nicerwin.

“That’s… true.”

In the depths of a giant storeroom.

As the giant highest-rank elementals glowed with a mysterious light, the Mercaria student council stared, gaping up at the figures before nodding.

“So, pack up and send everyone over?”

The events from here were dealt with quickly enough.

I looked at them quickly pack up their base, and communicate through the magic communication tools provided for this event to order all of their students not currently under attack to retreat from their castles.

“Right then, I’ll head off in advance.”

I waved and left the Mercaria students.

Behind me I saw the Mercaria students sprinkle something like a white dust, what could it be?

-It is better if you do not know.

-Really?

Well if a Spirit King is saying so then it should be alright to not care about it anymore.

I had plenty of other things to care about anyway.

Yes, like…

“Hand over Nerkiaaaaaaaaa!”

“How many times do I have to tell you he’s not here!”

A giant sword of flames collided with Risen’s god-killing stick, causing a giant explosion.

“Haap!”

As Lady Aris grunted, scores of Arucia students flew through the air.

Already, many Arucia students that looked no better than corpses were littering the area around them.

“Keheheheh…”

And further away, was Reedan laughing truly diabolically as he watched over the carnage.

At a single wave of his hand, the Arucia students turned their blades on each other.

As if he was bored, every now and then he’d wave his hand at the few Marcis students, who would dump a magic artillery barrage onto the Arucia students.

“Gruaaaaagh!”

“Awoooooooo!”

On one side a bear was flipping people away, and behind it, a giant wolf was howling towards the sky.

“Yep, I’ll hang around a bit before I go.”

I snapped myself out of my blank stare and discreetly lowered my altitude to land silently on the ground. From there, I quietly watched over them until Risen retreated to resupply his team.
