Having had his heart broken, Eisuke drags his feet towards their destination He and Souji both arrive at the high school that the special police unit is in charge of
Although it looks like a nor, this place is a fortress; it is
「Those of you who are new students, please change into your indoor shoes and then follow the teacher’s instruction as they will guide you to the underground level」
Speaking in a loud voice, theunusual about the teachers’ appearance except for their well-toned muscles behind their suit
「Certainly, this isn’t a normal school」
Souji changed into the shoes they had handed hithens his resolve
Upon going below ground, he no long thought this place was an ordinary school Underground were dull concrete passageways and rows of metal doors; it was quite an eerie place
The teachers lead them to a room with concrete walls, inside there is a row of pipe chairs Souji feels a dull uneasiness
「It’s like a tasteless secret hideout」
「Yeah, it does give off that impression」
Souji is surprised that so; he looks for the voice’s owner
From the back of the rooives off the impression that she is a scientist
「Yahoo, super sexy onee-sama!」
Souji is amazed that Eisuke quickly recovers fro on, Souji asks, 「Who are you?」
The wo sathered in front of her
「hello everyone, I’ll from the special police unit My name is Hoshi+na Kyouko (保科京子, ほしなきょうこ), I work as a researcher and school nurse here」
「Kyouko-sensei, beautiful nurses are the best!」
Not only Eisuke, but allue to her Kyouko’s large chest is being pushed upwards by her white lab coat; fro lead down to her toes
「Well now, to those of you who are present, we are already acquaintances For that reason, I’m allowed to explain what purpose this place serves to the special police unit」
「「「Yes～！」」」
「「「……tsk」」
The boys unanimously reply; the feue
(City girls are scary……)
Froe, there was only one other child aside fro surrounded by these students, Souji felt uneasy about his upco school life
「This place is known as the anti-crystal・eneh school The main objective of this school is to train people to defend japan from the CE And so――」
She stops her speech short to observe the faces of every student present beforea declaration in a loud voice
「Everyone, you are officially a member of the 『Anti Crystal Enemy』 team, 『ACE』 for short Out of 5,000 people, you all have been selected for being exceptionally gifted」
Having been praised the students puff up their chest with pride, they seem to be as proud as a peacock
However, Souji had a perplexed expression
(Do I…… do I really have such a remarkable trait?)
Last su town, they had hie helmet
He wondered if it was soan holding exaiven a simple explanation and the details about the process is still unknown to the public
「The appearance of the CE has caused deep wound to humanity; however, as a result, we discovered the『phantom children (幻子)』; these phantom children are able to wield and manifest 『fantasy/ illusion weapons (幻想兵器)』!」
Upon hearing the tery, the students became excited
Most likely everyone has seen those viral videos on the internet
Videos of, selected young ends
「Everyone, quiet down Now then, will you listen to my request?」
Matching the ti of Kyouko’s voice the door opens and a teacher pushi+ng a trolley enters
Loaded on the trolley are stacks of large dark black colored metallic bracelets
「These are 『fantasism・conveters (ファンタズム・コンバーター)』 This device will allow you to bring forth a fantasy weapon, or it can be used as a shi+eld It will also serve as your proof of being a member of ACE」
Kyouko and the other teachers distribute the devices to the students
「This is a converter, huh?」
「A, super cool!」
Kyouko displays a gentle smile as she sees the joyful expressions of the students
「Affix the bracelet onto your dominant arm; but keep this in mind, once it locks the bracelet cannot be removed」
「EH~!」
The students cry out in dissatisfaction Kyouko had expected their response, thus, she wasn’t s
「There is no need to panic I ht away as ill be collecting the data from each of you, one at a ti in the foremost row」
Kyouko exits the room Afterward, the first 10 students are called
「Not good, I’m nervous」
「Me too」
Eisuke and Souji sat up straight as the both of them were very tense
(Fantasy weapons, huh……)
According to information from the newspapers and television broadcasts, weapons that are effective against the CE can only be used by the younger generation
However, presently no detailed report has been published
「Eisuke, what do you know about the fantasy weapons?」
「Me, well, I came here to find out that very reason」
Eisuke shrugged his shoulders before he cheerful began to speak
「I how do I put this, legendary weapons are so」
「Legendary weapons?」
「Yeah, things like swords froame and such Apparently, it is not fiction」
Non-existent things were appearing in the real world, dub fantasy weapons
「Sounds like a lie to me」
「It’s genuine! Here, watch this viral video!」
The doubtful Souji watches the video on the smartphone that Eisuke took out
「Look, this is a video so」
In the video, boys and girls who have on the same uniform as them, have affixed the fantasy converter onto their ar an object extends from their arm
The converter gives off a light, and a weapon appears
Sword, spear, ax, cudgel, bow; various different weapons had appeared The boys and girls swung their weapons
What had happened next was unbelievable
Fire gushed fro, and the bow fired off a bird ht
「……is this not CG?」
「I doubt it~ I say it’s real Besides, there are other videos」
Eisuke shows Souji video after video with each showing so impossible Every video had displayed a supernatural weapon
「It sure does appear to be genuine」
「That’s right These videos went viral as soon as they were discovered Why is it you haven’t seen them?」
「At my house, we don’t own a computer」
「What about a smart phone?」
「It is regrettable to say, but there was no reception in e」
「……if it was me, I don’t knoould be able to live in such a backwater place」
This is Souji first contact with the internet Eisuke turns his attention to the primitive man
They continue to chat about trivial matters until their turn came up
「The children sitting on the 3rd row, please follow me」
「Yes」
Although they showed a tense expression, the students stood up and followed the teacher when they were called
They are lead to another room which also have dull concrete walls
However, one of the walls is lass Kyouko and so white lab coats are behind that glass wall The scientists seem to be busy operation machines and other instruments
『Well, let’s start with the child froht State your name and move to the center of the room』
「YES, Endou Eisuke (遠藤映助)!」
Kyouko is giving instructions froave a strain reply as he aardly walks to the center of the room
『The lock will be released, so please take out your converter and recite, 『transform』 This will cause your fantasy weapon to take shape』
