389 – [7] Great Collision
#389
* * *
Bang!
The sound of repeated gunshots was not heard only in the Nartica branch building.
Although the sound of rain was harsh, the unique harsh sound of a gun was not something that could be masked by rain.
This was especially true if there was no silencer or anything like that.
Gunfire rang out hundreds of yards away.
“Huh?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Gun…… Isn’t it sound? What?”
Cadets wearing raincoats leaving the scene following the guidance of the police.
They withdrew while waiting for Nartica’s evening event and frowned at the strange sound.
Of course, at first I thought it was thunder and just ignored it.
However, the sound I heard soon after was something I could not ignore at all.
Click!
“What? “The sound of a window breaking?”
“I think I heard a faint gunshot after that?”
“Did something bad happen?”
The window was broken, gunshots were heard again, and voices that sounded like there was a commotion were heard.
Those who were following the police’s lead stopped and looked.
“Hey, I keep hearing gunshots and screams from over there. Shouldn’t I go right now?”
“Yes? Gunshots and screams?”
“No, I can hear it from over there right now. “It’s a little small, but someone just screamed ‘aaaaah!'”
“Uh…… “Hmm, I can’t really hear anything.”
“Yes? You didn’t hear this? No, I can still hear something even now.”
The moving cadets repeatedly pointed in the direction of the Nartica branch.
No matter how you look at it, something happened, and it wasn’t something that could be resolved by evacuating.
“I will be wearing a hunter watch anyway. “You don’t have to worry about our safety—”
“It’s okay. “It won’t be a big deal, and there won’t be any problems.”
“No, how can that not be a problem…” … Wait, what are those people back there?”
I was in the middle of being scolded by the police.
I saw a group of heavily armed people walking behind me.
No, rather than walking, it was closer to moving with a purpose.
The cadets soon realized that it was the movement of several people who had been immersed in it.
This is because they also made similar moves when they secretly captured and killed the knights at the Chareltea Campus.
The cadets quickly exchanged glances with each other.
“Hmm? You mean the people in the back? What…… “There must be some urgent business.”
“…… “Looking at everyone’s actions, it looks like something urgent is going on.”
“Right? So, hurry and go somewhere else—”
“By the way. “If there’s an urgent matter like this, shouldn’t the police go first?”
Tata soup!
The gunfire continued to ring out, and they did not move more than a few steps.
The police only smiled and motioned for them to go away.
“Yes, yes, it seems to be a secret operation carried out at the government level. Then I will understand.”
Doubt and doubt.
However, because there was no conclusive evidence, they took another step.
I look back often, looking at the people moving around aimlessly.
Then, I saw the firearms in their hands.
“Isn’t that a 3D rifle…? ….”
“I think that’s right. “I saw it on the internet, and it looked exactly like that.”
“These people have a lot of dirty tattoos, but are they really people with no problems?”
“That can’t be right. “You can tell by the way they wear masks or the way they dress.”
“Damn, then why the police…” ….”
“Everyone, let’s move quickly.”
A police officer who urges several cadets as if they are interrupting their conversation.
But the more I did, the slower my steps became.
It was just that moment.
Someone’s loud voice was heard through the rain.
“Sweet men@$%#&$%^$%—!!!”
A voice heard not once, but many times.
When they looked behind them, towards the source of the voice, they saw someone screaming and approaching them.
Everyone was shocked because it was covered in blood.
The police officers bit their lips and placed their hands on the swords at their waists, and several hunters witnessed the action.
No way, probably not.
At the moment when doubts arose, a person running shouted.
“The cops are crazy!!! They collude with drug cartels and kill civilians!!!”
The cadets swallowed their saliva as if their suspicions had finally been confirmed.
When the police saw the civilian screaming repeatedly, they tried to pull out their swords.
“Wait a minute. “What on earth is that person?”
One of the cadets spat out.
The police officers who were about to take out their swords stopped moving, and the civilian who was running out of his mind only then saw that there were police officers on this side as well.
“That’s—”
“What, what?! Is there a salty guy here too?!!!?! Aaaaa!!!!!”
He immediately ran to the side.
And then, a suspicious group appeared a bit late in the direction from which the civilians had run.
“…… Ah.”
“…… ?”
Those were the heavily armed people who were moving around aimlessly just now.
To be exact, not all of them, but only a few of them, appeared in front of them again.
They approached the police and cadets with great strides.
At the same time, it was a bonus to look around as if looking for something.
“Constable, what were you doing?”
“Ah…… That’s it. “I was taking these people somewhere else for a while because I had official business to do.”
“You mean official duties? Ah, so that’s why you were still here.”
“Ahaha, yes it is. “You must be in the midst of carrying out important work. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“A little while ago, a rat went this way. Did you see it?”
“…… You mean rat? Ah, that was just over there…… Huh?”
Police heading to the place where the civilians fled.
One of the cadets grabbed the police officer’s wrist.
He shook his head as if to say no, as if he was hoping it wasn’t what he was expecting.
While one cadet was doing this, other cadets took their cell phones out of their pockets as they vibrated.
“Oh, shit.”
“Police man. “I’m sorry, but you can’t say that, right?”
“That…… I don’t know what you’re thinking, but for now, no. “These people are also moving around to carry out official duties—”
“What is it? There was a post posted in the school community saying that police officers are attacking civilians and cadets?”
“There was also a post saying that the police here were bribed by a drug cartel. “There are even recordings and deposit/withdrawal details.”
The police officer slowly removed the hand he was holding and waved one of his hands as if to say no to the cadets.
Apart from that action, the police officer’s other hand was pointing towards the sword at his waist.
“I don’t know what you saw, but we are carrying out official duties. “I would appreciate it if you could understand that I cannot explain it properly.”
“I see. “But where on earth are you trying to take us?”
“I didn’t mean to take you anywhere. We want to always ensure the safety of our cadets—”
“But if you are trying to ensure safety, why are your hands on your waist? “Why do the people behind you have their hands on the trigger?”
“… ….”
If this is considered as ensuring safety, then releasing monsters into the city will also ensure safety.
To that extent, their actions were opposed.
In the pouring rain of the city, a few people looked at each other.
Then, along with the sound of cutting the air, a chunk of lead hit the ground near them.
But that wasn’t important anymore.
The fact that a lead bullet, which must have come from the Nartica branch beyond the front, hit the ground was not a factor that could change this situation.
“Officer.”
“Yes.”
“Excuse me, but could you please take your hand off the sword at your waist?”
“No.”
What was more important to the raincoat-wearing cadets was what was happening in Arecibo right now.
What on earth are those in front of me doing to cause this mess?

‘Damn it, how did we end up in this situation where there is no answer?’
As a result of procrastinating to satisfy curiosity, curiosity was satisfied, and in return, violence against public power was faced.
I wanted to move on quietly, but I also felt that it was already too late.
“Officer, this is a warning. “Take it off right away.”
“We also warn you. “If this has happened, we would appreciate it if you could just follow us.”
“Ha.”
No matter who hears it, it tells you to be captured and killed.
There is no Palaist Academy cadet in this world who would respond to something like that.
The cadets shook their heads, refusing to take the path that leads to death.
The police officers sighed.
“…… “The collaborators behind the scenes.”
“Yes. “Officer.”
“I mean these people in front of us.”
“Yes.”
“I can’t seem to listen to you. “Please help me take care of it.”
Of course, there was no reason for them to leave the cadets alone any longer.
The heads of the cartel officials behind him were shaking up and down.
The gun was aimed.
Swords were pulled out from the police officers’ waists.
“I guess…… “It seems like this can only be resolved when one party dies.”
“I agree. “Can you all prepare attack magic?”
“I already prepared it.”
“I’m going crazy. “What happened when I came here to buy a potion cheaply?”
The cadets quickly drew their weapons.
The weapon heated up, and a magic circle appeared in the sky.
The conflict between a company and a criminal organization was even affecting innocent cadets.
In the end, there will be no academy cadets who have nothing to do with this matter.

“Aaaaak!”
“Die, you bastard!”
Ines killed a police officer who broke into the Nartica branch office building by stabbing him with a spear.
Then he tried to kill the cartel gang member next to him in the same way.
But before I could do that, something in the diagonal line caught my eye.
It was a gun with a shining tip.
“Damn it!”
Tata soup!
I rolled straight forward and dodged the rain of bullets.
As she dodged, the cartel gang member turned her entire body into a beehive by the same side.
One person reduced.
But I couldn’t rest assured.
It was because there were more guys left.
Ines looked at her wrist.
– [Shield: 1/10]
He cursed and took out the shield battery from his waist.
Of the two batteries installed in the Hunter Watch, I removed the completely exhausted one and threw it away.
She inserted a new battery in its place and saw that the shield was filling up again.
But she couldn’t even replace the next one.
“You fucking racist bastard! Die!”
Another cartel gang member quickly approached.
The man pointed the shotgun at Inez and tried to get her to pull the trigger.
“Ice Spear!”
Wow!
Thank goodness it wasn’t pulled completely.
This was because his head was pierced by an ice spear that flew from somewhere.
Ines looked back in the direction the spear came from.
An elf woman dressed in a suit was standing there.
“Professor Su-ah!”
“Inez, are you okay?”
“Yes, it’s still okay!”
After checking Ines’ condition, Nasua took a sip of the potion and cast magic one after another.
The gang members who had a protective shield survived, but the gang members who did not had a large hole in their body and died.
Ines swallowed her saliva and stood up again.
Then he ran forward to deal with the other intruder.
“Damn it, Kang Xian says he’s coming, but why isn’t he coming?!”
It couldn’t go on like this.
Reinforcements or whatever was needed.
Ines thought as she sent the nameless criminal to God’s side.
