019. Sword Demon (3)
It seems that getting the title of Professor wasn’t pure luck. It gave off a ghastly atmosphere.
“How can an academy professor do such a thing…… !”
The student council president, Valten, was genuinely terrified of Theon revealing her true self.
She thought she would save them.
That’s why I came with Theon to the auditorium where the students were evacuated without even suspecting anything.
“Back off. It is clear that the author is not constrained by barriers.”
“Stand up, saintess!”
“The power I wield is divine mana against darkness. Who else will stop the author if not me.”
Everyone looked at her with her surprised face at Cecilia’s determination.
No matter how much she was blessed by the gods and was a saint with full and holy mana, it was difficult for her to use her abilities right now.
That means that there is nothing strange about being hit by his attack and leaving this world at any time…….
“Ku-k-k-k! You must be quite brave.”
She looked like a saint different from an ordinary student, but Theon laughed at Cecilia’s actions.
Mana.
What can the saintess of today who cannot fully use that divine blessing do here?
“…… I will help too.”
“If you step away from here, you will have no face with your brother.”
But it wasn’t just Cecilia who stood up to Theon.
Arwen and Gunther in S class. And starting with them, everyone who wasn’t affected by the suppression magic was looking at Theon with hostile eyes.
“This is absurd.”
Theon had no choice but to express his honest feelings about their determined will.
I thought it would be good if I didn’t run away thanks to the magic within the barrier right away, but on the contrary, you’re thinking of blocking yourself?
It’s literally absurd, isn’t it? It’s not about hitting a rock with an egg, it’s about throwing an egg down that deep cliff.
“The saintess is at odds with research, except…… Yes, student Arwen. Would you like to conduct some secret research with me?”
Despite the stinging eyes pouring down on her, Theon lazily asked a question.
What he needs is a body with high purity mana. That’s why the elf from the Great Forest would surely be a good test subject.
But Arwen did not react to such a sticky gaze. No, to be precise, it was a reaction in a slightly different direction than Theon thought.
Chuck.
“…… What does that mean?”
It’s Theon who didn’t think she would readily accept her own offer anyway.
But seeing what that elf is doing, doesn’t it feel like anger is boiling deep inside?
Now Arwen raised her fist to Theon, middle finger. In other words, only the middle finger was raised.
Any action that I don’t know what it means. However, watching that scene, I felt a sense of displeasure as my internal organs were twisted for some reason…….
“I didn’t ask what you meant!”
This was something Berris had done while subduing the bandits around the territory, but Arwen nodded her head at Theon’s response, which was bigger than expected.
From noble mtl dot com
Even she doesn’t know what
Raised middle finger means. However, since she showed such a great response, after all, Berry’s deep insight is at a level that she herself cannot dare to fathom.
“I-I-I, I need to mend the spirit of this spoiled b*tch!”
─Tsutsutsutsu….
Theon let out a roar that almost screamed and began injecting mana into the wand he was holding.
“Rally to me!”
A wave of mana that is unusual even at a glance. A situation in which the lives of the students who fell behind them could not be guaranteed if they quietly watched the attack.
At the start of Cecilia’s cry, all the students who stood in their seats began to gather around Cecilia.
─Ugh!
And then, a huge scale of defense magic unfolds.
The scale and strength of the defense magic Cecilia, the pride of the Holy Kingdom, was truly astounding considering that it was inside a barrier that hindered the flow of mana.
But.
“Did you think you could stop me with that!”
─Shuuk! Zeng!
The defense magic, which maximized its range to protect the students who had lost consciousness and collapsed, was destroyed by Theon’s magic and disappeared.
Unlike Cecilia, who looked exhausted even though she managed to block the mana-loaded blow, Theon is in good shape.
The difference in overwhelming power.
If it wasn’t for the inside of the barrier, such an empty result would not have come out, but in the current situation, it was a level of gap that could not be guaranteed.
However, Theon, who thought that this brief battle would have broken the will of the students, soon had thick swear words flying at him from the other side.
“A bald bastard can only live with his mouth.”
“What, what?”
“You will be finished when my older brother comes. It looks like he’s probably organizing the outside, but that means you’re not a great person at the level of what to do.”
Softly.
The main character of the voice, Theon, was someone he knew well.
Gunther von Haruen. Isn’t it a description from an imperial marquis family?
However, how did this bastard from the late marquee family get his family education so that such a tone could easily flow out?
Theon felt distracted by Gunther’s voice.
A little while ago, the elf among them seemed to be swearing incomprehensibly with his finger.
“Stupid. Outside of the church… ….”
No matter how insignificant his strength, the new chicks in front of Theon’s eyes are his ‘enemies’. It seems he’s trying to buy himself time by provoking himself…….
‘Buying time?’
I suddenly had a strange idea.
There must be more than a hundred combatants of the Order of the Devil out there, as well as sword demons.
The action they had to take now was simple. Not understanding the students who are still in the dormitory district and bringing them to this auditorium.
After that, you just have to start cooking yourself. It sounds like a simple thing that can’t be disrupted.
But it was strange. Wasn’t there a single student who came to the auditorium late even before he spread mana?
“…… Who are you?”
What that fact meant was simple.
Now outside this auditorium, someone is trying to thwart his plans. He’s a very strong guy too.
“Who is it?”
It was Cecilia who answered his question without a subject.
In the aftermath of the sudden use of her insufficient mana, Cecilia is breathing heavily. But her strangely confident demeanor was enough to fuel Theon’s suspicions.
‘Damn it!’
Theon gritted his teeth.
So far, the plan has been going smoothly, but without the faculty supporting him, this plan is likely to fail.
Others in the academy must have noticed the large-scale barrier magic spread across the dormitory building site right away.
That means that as soon as the barrier is released, a huge crowd will rush into this place, and it is said that a great threat is looming for them, who need a large number of manpower to transport the test subject through the siege.
‘Where and what is that madman doing!’
This is Theon who asked the Sword Demon for help in case this situation would happen.
However, since the Sword Demon, who should have resolved the tangle of affairs in the first place, is nowhere to be found, it must mean that the situation outside is unusual.
Theon judged.
Thanks to the rapidly changing circumstances, he didn’t have time to deal with these kids right now.
Students hit by suppression magic won’t wake up for half a day anyway. Then he thought it would make sense for him to go outside, look at the situation, solve it, and come back.
After thinking, Theon quietly turned his eyes away and began to observe the situation.
Confronting him are about 10 students. Even if they are weakened by the influence of the barrier, it is certain that it will take up a lot of time if all of them are ready to die.
In the end, the fact that the project could fail made him impatient.
─ Hung! Kwaaang!
“This one! We must protect our students!”
Instantly, Theon lifted the staff containing mana upwards, and the protruding fireball collided with the ceiling, promptly causing a thick cloud of dust and fire throughout the auditorium.
Leaving behind the students’ surprise at the sudden action, Theon threw himself into the open ceiling.
It was clear that those kids would not be able to pursue him soon, fearing to put out the fire and injure the distraught students. So, hurry up and join the sword demon in this gap…….
“hehehe, I can’t go!”
“This, this guy?”
But there was a guy who followed closely behind Theon, and that was Gunther.
Theon gritted his teeth at the sight of him following him like a madman.
A guy who would be knocked out with just one mana-filled hand gesture, how on earth would he have the courage to pursue himself alone!
In addition, despite being able to use only a handful of mana, Gunter was already close to Theon.
A freshman at the academy dares to pursue a person with the title of professor?
Theon, who bites at his arrogant figure who doesn’t know the subject, fired the magic that finished casting in an instant.
A mana bullet filled with weak mana.
It is a low-power magic whose only advantage is rapid casting, but boasting power that cannot be ignored in the present situation where the target is having difficulty using mana, it soon hit Gunther’s upper body.
─Ferberbuck!
Magic collided with Gunther, who had a strong body. As a result, a sound resounded that gave goosebumps just by hearing it, so it was clear that a bone was broken somewhere.
“Kuruk!”
“Tsk, wasted my time.”
As Gunther collapsed from the shock and began to vomit up what he had eaten, Theon hurried to his feet.
It’s that kind of bastard. For now, I thought I would put out the urgent fire.
