614 You’re all free to decide what you want to do (2/2)

And then… ”BOOM!!!”

There was an ear-rattling explosion as the blood-red mist suddenly exploded!

Everyone felt a strong gust blow them over, causing them to scream as they all fell over like dominoes.

The students were in pain as they fell on the ground, but then they noticed that the temperature was rising again, the sun had returned, and it was no longer chilly… The atmosphere had returned to normal!

The camera-carrying boy from earlier crawled up, only to see that Seigo had just taken off his now tattered shirt.

Streaks of blood were on his handsome face and muscular body and he was currently still bleeding. Seigo wiped himself using the tattered shirt in his hands.

The Magic-Devouring Dragon's injuries and the countless holes in the football field proved that none of what happened just now was a hallucination.

”Harano-san… are you alright?” someone weakly asked him.

However, Seigo appeared to either not hear or ignore this. He simply took his reddened tattered shirt with him and left without saying a word.

Everyone watched him leave. This entire place was silent with not a single person talking.

As word of the exorcism incident quickly started spreading through the student population, there was a school-wide announcement that all sports competition activities would be temporarily suspended and that all the students should gather in the school auditorium! The student council president would make an important announcement there.

An announcement from Natsuya Yoruhana… Everyone was curious what this scion who was Seigo Harano's girlfriend would have to say.

”I think that she's going to threaten us to keep quiet and pretend not to know anything about this incident.” Some students thought about it from a highly negative point of view.

”But, do you dare to not go to the auditorium?”

”...”

Although some students were afraid of the student council president's ”explanation,” nobody dared not to attend.

After all, they were all ordinary commoners. Who knew what type of revenge would be brought upon them if they dared to go against the scion of a powerful family?

Demons and Spiritual Ability users were all real. However, the public didn't know about this. This meant a huge power in the shadows was covering this up!

Trying to forcefully uncover the truth might end up really badly for them.

Wasn't this quite common in television shows and movies? Reporters, investigators, and other such individuals that wanted to reveal the dark truth in the shadows would often have terrifying calamities or death befall them and even their entire families.

Everyone felt that people who dared to reveal the hidden truth were heroes. But, who wanted to be such a hero? Who had the resolution to be such a hero?

This was a question that everyone could only remain silent on.

No matter what the students thought, Natsuya already knew what she was going to do.

She was currently standing at the auditorium's podium, waiting for the students to arrive.

The students continuously arrived and gathered at the auditorium.

Natsuya silently watched all the students arriving. Once the time that she set arrived, she started speaking into a microphone.

”Good morning, fellow students. No matter if you saw it or not, no matter if you know what I'm talking about or not, please seriously listen to what I have to say.” Natsuya had an incredibly serious expression.

”Hidden dangers are present within this world. And, these dangers will only increase with time. Plenty of information that everyone's probably heard about proves this.

”A certain person is secretly dealing with these dangers in order to protect everyone that's studying here, simply because he's a fellow student just like all of you.

”Due to certain rules of the trade, he can't expose his own identity… If all of you keep this a secret and delete any records of this incident without spreading it or talking about it, he'll be able to continue studying here. Otherwise, he'll soon be forced to leave.

”At that time, I'll be leaving together with him. As for who will protect this school in the future, we don't know. Nor will we involve ourselves with this school anymore.

”You're all free to decide what you want to do. Of course, you also need to bear the results of your own decisions.

”That's all. I apologize for taking up everyone's time in summoning all of you here.”

The student council president instantly turned around to leave after saying what she did. There was nothing else at all.

The auditorium remained silent for a moment before a commotion started.

It had really only been an explanation…?

This incredibly short and simple explanation was basically about only one thing.

If they kept this incident a secret, Seigo Harano would be able to stay here. Otherwise, he would be forced to leave, and Natsuya Yoruhana would leave together with him.

Who would protect Genhana High School after they left…? Or, which Spiritual Ability user would stand up and deal with demons that might possibly appear here? Seigo and Natsuya wouldn't know, nor would they care.

This… was actually a threat, wasn't it?

The students couldn't help but think that.

But, upon closer consideration, this was only normal.
