Kun, Yuni, and I followed Haruna.
and the place it arrived.
“… … Why are you here all of a sudden?”
A very friendly place for us.
It was the student council room.
Haruna smiled and looked at us.
“I will be here during the war.”
“yes?”
“Well?”
At that, I also tilted my head.
I heard that Haruna had to protect something, but I was bewildered that the location was the student council room.
“What is here?”
“You won’t be able to see it with your own eyes.”
“Well?”
Haruna stretched her hand to the ceiling.
Then the surroundings began to shake.
“What, what?”
“this… … .”
Kuhn and Yuni looked at that and their eyes widened.
It was the first time the two of them had ever seen such a sight.
But I knew.
“… … Space magic?”
It certainly looked similar to space magic, but it looked fundamentally different.
Although what is happening in the realm of space, the feeling of coming to reality is different.
It feels like the world is turned upside down.
The shaky space gradually changed, and places other than the student council room began to appear.
I narrowed my brow and looked at Haruna.
“Where are you?”
“This is the holy land of Terra Sant. It is the place where the saints I spoke of meet their last.”
Numerous jars around.
Then I… … .
Haruna walked towards the jars.
“They are all the remains of saints. It is cremated and kept here.”
“Here… … .”
“It is a place created by dimensional magic. The student council room serves as that door.”
“Student council room?”
Is it the student council room with a lot of space left?
In fact, the student council room could not be said to be a safe space.
If it was a really safe place, the vice principal’s office or the principal’s office would be a better place.
“I don’t even know why there is a door here. It was just the will of our ancestors.”
“ancestor?”
“Do you know how this academy was established, Rudy?”
I didn’t know much about it.
I only knew that it was an academy built in the early days of the empire.
“In the past, magic, religion, and politics were three things working together. They were an equal group. That’s why the denomination was so big, and that’s why this academy emphasizes equality. The reason space magic is called the power of God is similar.”
Even though they were of different statuses, they supported each other so that they could develop their abilities.
Was that the reason?
Because everyone was equal in the past?
I didn’t know at all that there was such a reason in the part that I didn’t really care about.
“But as time went on, these three went their separate ways, some merged and some degenerated. Still, as I just said, traces of the three of them together remain in many places.”
Haruna stretched her hand forward.
“The vestiges of this academy remain here. The place where the bodies of the saints are kept, the holy land of Terra Sant.”
Thinking like that, I started to see other parts as well.
“Then why do saints come every homecoming day?”
“Yes, that is one of the traces left. Of course, I’m here for reasons other than predicting the future.”
“Are you coming to check if this holy site is well?”
“yes. It’s good because the story is fast.”
I remembered a thought I had on Homecoming Day in the past.
Why does a saint come every year to predict the future?
It was a little weird from the beginning.
I can’t tell you the proper future, so why is the saint coming?
I wondered if there was some kind of deal between religion and the academy, but I didn’t know there was such a past.
“Anyway, Aryandor will probably come here. Beatrix-sama’s ashes remain here.”
There I had a question.
“By the way, is there any reason to leave the remains like this? Doesn’t it mean that Aryandor is coming here to get the ashes?”
Haruna shook her head at this.
“Didn’t Rudy see the power of these bones?”
“… … I?”
when did i
It was something I didn’t know at all.
“Isn’t there something that brought the body of the future to you last time?”
“… … ah.”
“This creates the best environment for the saint to reach her potential. It allows me to do things I normally wouldn’t be able to do.”
“Why does the ashes have such power… … .”
“Even if a saint dies, she does not lose her strength.”
“Even if I die?”
“The body of a saint is connected to a saint in another dimension. This skeleton is the basis for it. Based on that ability, you can see the future, and you can also see the past. Only when this body remains can the saints of other dimensions see our dimension, and I can use my full abilities.”
The basis of dimensional magic.
It was these bones.
The role of this place was to cross the dimensions, scan the future and the past, and connect the dimensions of each other.
“Anyway, we can’t get rid of this place. We have to protect it as much as possible.”
“… … .”
Then Yuni put her hand on my shoulder.
“Can I just keep it? Then there would be no problem.”
I laughed out loud when I said it as if it wasn’t a big deal.
Yuni is right.
Can’t we just stop Aryandor from coming here?
“Yeah, you can keep the road. By the way, can Aryandor come in here?”
“Yes, this is a place where space, time, and dimensional magic are keyed in.”
I nodded and laughed.
“okay. Then I won’t let you come any closer. Is that okay?”
Haruna smiled at this.
“Yes, that’s it.”
***
I moved from the place Haruna explained to Cromwell.
As he was moving, he suddenly noticed a strange sensation.
Outside, people were moving in unison.
I looked at them and went into the Principal’s room where Cromwell was.
“Have you been?”
“Yeah, I know the situation.”
“Okay, then let’s prepare ourselves.”
“If you are ready… … .”
“They have moved.”
Is it that Aryandor has moved?
People moving outside… … .
“Are you ready for war?”
“Yeah, we’ll stop at the canyon side like last time.”
A canyon you have to cross to get to from the rebel side.
In terms of geography, we have an advantage.
But there was a problem.
“How did the soldiers do it?”
“I was prepared to some extent. Still, it’s not enough.”
Last time, the Imperial Army came to this place first.
The problem was that there weren’t that many soldiers now.
“You have to buy time until Astina arrives.”
“Are you talking about in an unfavorable situation?”
“Still, nothing to worry about. We have a lot of talented people, and we have strategies to match them.”
“If it’s a job… … .”
“It is important not to push the opponent towards the canyon. If the rebels enter the canyon now, they will break through it very quickly. They will use the undead to push them in.”
The canyon was a place that could do maximum damage to the opponent, but it was not a place that could be completely blocked.
Because there was no wall built there, and there was nothing that we could block with our bodies.
If they were to lead them to the canyon, they would do great damage, but they couldn’t use the power of the terrain properly.
“Then are you planning to stop in front of the canyon?”
“okay.”
“However… … .”
But is blocking in front of the canyon a good plan?
It was also vague.
Still, it was suicide to compete head-on with a small number of soldiers.
“do not worry. Because I have a way for you.”
“… … How?”
“Anyway, we go to the canyon. I will tell you about the operation later.”
“all right.”
It’s a way… … .
***
“I really hate it. I really hate it. Really, really, really.”
“Heh heh, if you can’t say no, the world won’t do anything.”
“No, why am I doing this… … . There are many other outstanding people besides me… … .”
vast meadows.
Behind it lies a majestic canyon.
And a cloud of dust rose in the distance.
Even though it was a very distant place, I could see the guys there.
The undead legions of giant golems and bone dragons are standing in front of them.
was a rebel.
It was a magnificent appearance, but the fact that it was an enemy was really vague.
“Professor Cromwell or Professor Maguire… … . No, there are other professors besides them. I’m a beginner professor… … . Professor Cromwell, what the hell was he thinking, to a novice professor who is now a year old… … .”
“Heh heh, I trust you that much, so it’s not something I entrusted to you.”
Far from the cloud of dust stood two men.
Operation planned by the Academy.
It was simple.
Strong people block it with overwhelming force.
So, two people were selected from the academy’s personnel.
Electric magic user, first-year professor Gracie Rifgold.
A user of flash magic. Principal McDowell Cleaver.
It was a combination of the academy’s oldest and youngest professors.
“It’s war… … . I’ve never done anything like this… … .”
“Isn’t there a first for everyone?”
“Have you ever tried it, the principal?”
“Heh heh, I’ve done it a few times.”
“Well, how did you feel the first time you tried it… … .”
“It was just like you. And when it ended, it was terrifying. Blood formed a river on the floor, and corpses piled up like a mountain. I can’t even remember how many times I vomited.”
“Hey profit… … .”
“However.”

McDowell smiled kindly.
“Thanks to you, those behind me are safe. A lot of blood was shed in that war, but I was able to protect my people.”
“… … .”
“Someone has to do it, isn’t it? What if you were scared here right now?”
Gracie turned and looked towards the canyon.
Past this canyon is the Academy.
If the monsters in front of me enter the canyon, students, professors, and civilians living there will all die.
“Aren’t you a professor too? We have to protect the students and the academy.”
“… … Right.”
Gracie clenched her fist.
and looked ahead.
I see an army coming.
I was scared.

My legs were shaking and I was sweating profusely.
I thought I might die here today.
Still, I couldn’t back down.
If you back off, it’s really over.
If I survive, someone else will die.
“Can you do it now?”
“I have to do something… … . I am a professor.”
Grace’s mana surged.
Her hair was dyed white, and blue lightning flashed around her.

McDowell looked at it and nodded.
“Then I will go first.”
“Yes, I will follow you.”

McDowell reached forward.
“A flash, a ray of light.”
A huge light leaked out of that hand, and the war began.
