The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 142

142. Before Infiltrating the Student Hall (4)

The waist dance is heavy.

Heads collide with each other with each step, creating a dull sound. The steady ringing sound made Andy more and more lost in thought.

-“You’re Andy Parfume. I’m Jaca Ancilla.”

-“It seems that you and I are the only ones who passed the knights this time.”

She

She thought she was a nuisance from the first time we met.

He has the ability to quickly get close to people around him with his tall height. The guy who was called the prince of the academy was so popular that he pierced the sky.

She thought she was the complete opposite of herself. She

She was actually the complete opposite of herself and her in every way.

-“Huh? Why did you give up the position of knight commander? I can’t become the knight commander without you.”

-“You are the strongest in the knights. So you should be the leader of the knights.”

-“I know it’s burdensome, but don’t worry. I’ll support you well.”

She got into a position she didn’t want because of him. She just thought she would be moderately active and she would graduate with only one line of her career.

She still thinks she’s not the right person to be the leader of a knight.

She didn’t really want to, since most of her actual work was done by Jay Carr.

She could only be in the position of captain of the knights because she had Jay Carr.

So today I will kill Jayka with these hands.

“So, is this the last activity?”

She doesn’t have any particular attachment to the position of leader of the knights. She was going to pass it on to Jin and retire anyway, so it would be safe to say that she was the right time.

She never dreamed that she would become like this.

“You’re annoying me until the end.”

-Chin.

Andy stopped walking.

What she sees at the end of her gaze is the appearance of the large auditorium.

The density of monsters in the Student Center was high enough to say that it had been captured.

It feels like I’m knocking down five or six with every move.

“La───.”

In this way, we moved tirelessly, destroying the monsters of the abyss, but we were not very tired. This is thanks to the minimization of physical strength consumption through Rachel’s .

Once inside the building, it becomes simpler.

Battles in confined areas are because Claire is active.

“I’ll install the wall on the right side. So let’s focus on the stairs.”

If Claire says so and installs an Inside the building, the entrance of the monsters in the abyss will be blocked. So, it would be enough if Erua quickly knocked down only those that came down the stairs.

Thanks to that, we got to the mirror room very easily.

However,

-Clap clap clap.

“…Is it locked?”

Claire, who was turning the handle, made a puzzled expression.

“It’s locked?”

“Hmm… It doesn’t seem like it’s normally locked, and it seems like the defense magic worked.”

Saying that, Claire looked away.

At the end is Lynette.

“Ah, yes… Each building in the academy is equipped with defense magic, and it is designed to activate defense magic in case of an emergency…”

“Then, how can I open this place, Ms. Linnet from the lead department?”

“Uh… Well, I’ll answer anything, so please don’t scare me…”

Lynette somehow crept into the corner, looking like she wanted to run away right now.

Then he hesitated and opened his mouth. Her series of behaviors are slightly similar to Marie’s.

“I know that defense magic is for protecting the safety of students and major facilities within the building… So it’s impossible to break the door and enter…”

“Breaking down walls?”

“Wouldn’t that be impossible… The mirrors in the Mirror Room are expensive magic items… So it’s possible that magic was applied to the walls to prevent theft taking advantage of this disaster…”

“Then, does that mean you can enter the mirror room only after disabling the defense magic?”

“If you just want to open the door, you don’t have to.”

A quiet tone of voice squeezes in.

Erua, who was killing nearby monsters, somehow intervened in the conversation.

“A means of ignoring defense magic is probably somewhere inside this building.”

“A means of ignoring defense magic?”

“Yes. If you are a professor or someone with a position equivalent to that, you must have a means to open the door.”

“……So you have to find the student council president.”

At my words, Er A nodded her head.

Let me see Lynette,

“The student council president, Wiris Tanpel… Must be holding a sit-in in the student council room. And I believe it was Wiris Tanpel who activated the defense magic for the student union…”

“Are you saying you have to go to the student council room in the end?”

… Something is uncomfortable

It was a slightly different feeling than not liking it or anything like that. What I was aiming for would have been the survival of the individual and the establishment of the main story, but as a result, I am constantly moving in a way that helps someone.

‘I’ve been acting like an idiot.’

At first, it was to earn hatred from Lucius and the others. It was because there were things I could gain even though I had to buy hatred.

But now, is there no need to act hated? I reconciled with Tia by sending Catalyst as a gift, and the image-making I did to avoid getting into the scandal of dishonest morals…… I want to have a meaning Just looking at the masochist standing next to me makes me look promiscuous.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with helping people.

If even one more life can be saved, it must be a good thing.

“Let’s go to the student council room.”

So we went up the stairs again.

The 6th floor, the top floor of the student union building.

That’s…… It was literally like a zombie apocalypse.

“Ugh, uh uh…”

“Geuuu…!”

– Bang bang!

– Bang!

– Bang bang bang!!

Monsters of the abyss and the infected are gathered in front of the door of the student council room.

Keep knocking on the door in front of him. While making unpleasant noises.

I can hear sobbing voices from beyond the door…… It was a hellish scene.

“Be careful, Ariel.”

Rarely, Era said that first.

“There are especially many monsters. It can be dangerous.”

“I know that much when I see it.”

As expected, monsters from the main auditorium poured into the student center, and there are more monsters than other buildings.

In addition, since all the students in the building had evacuated to the student council room, of course the monsters had no choice but to move in front of the student council room.

Resolving the tension, I signal by raising my head. Let’s start, say.

Erea acted first.

Unlike before, Errea does not move forward. Just reach out her hand and cast her magic.

“……6 Stacks.”

Her sparks fly from Er Ah’s hand, and her lightning bolts shoot out. It’s also 6-pronged.

It was the effect of one of the magic skills, . The effect is simply the simultaneous use of one type of magic multiple times.

As simple as the skill effect is, its power is also simple. The fact that Is copied six times means that it has six times the power.

6 Monsters are defeated at the same time.

“──.”

Monsters look this way.

Era jumped out.

Cut off the head of the monster that is charging at you. Then, with his other hand, he radiated flames.

Er Ar easily avoids attacks from blind spots, and she casts magic without even looking in that direction. It is the basic magic .

However, its power was quite different from what I used before. As if a bomb had exploded, the monster’s upper body was blown away.

In the genre of combat, there is no student that follows Erua.

Erua, who learned survival skills directly from the adventure king, has no weaknesses or limitations.

-“Okay, Era. Learn the sword.”

-“It doesn’t have to be a sword. A spear is fine, a blunt weapon is fine, an ax is fine. You should be able to handle one melee weapon.”

-“If you’re going to handle a sword, you have to master it enough to handle it better than a swordsman. No matter how strong magicians are, if they can’t use magic, they’re just weak people. Make sure to prepare thoroughly for that time.”＜ /I＞

According to the adventure king’s philosophy, Erua is a master of magic and swordsmanship at the same time.

She wields her sword and uses magic efficiently, choosing a cold and ruthless judgment every moment.

Exuding an overwhelming presence like an invulnerable god, Erua dominated her battlefield.

“Ariel.”

Rarely does Claire speak in a low voice.

Those were the monsters that came out of Erua’s attack range. A monster that Era deliberately left behind.

Era, who has estimated our capabilities to some extent, does not intend to take on everything by herself. Erua knew that in order for everyone to live, he couldn’t overdo it, and that everyone had to play their part.

That’s how the monsters of the abyss sent by Erea rush here.

– Kwajik!

But before he can take a few steps, a centipede snatches it.

It swept away its gigantic body and blew away all the monsters in the abyss.

“Come to think of it, I forgot to ask one question. What are you going to do with the infected, young master?”

Rachel asked in a voice as if talking about her daily life. Faced with her, she seems to forget that she is in a combat situation.

If you take a quick look at the front, it’s not just the monsters from the abyss that run this way.

Some students become infected and become monsters.

“….”

I manipulate the water and spray it on the face of one of the students.

A student who gets water into his respiratory tract passes out shortly after.

Seeing such a student, I take out an item.

—

[Spider Web]

Crafting Rating: 7

Quality: Good

: Spider silk that is said to have three times the tensile strength and elasticity of steel. Such spider webs were artificially created so that humans could handle them.

—

“Claire, tie it up with this. I’ll leave the defense to one Rachel.”

“I-I’ll help…”

Maybe she thought she had nothing to do, so Marie stole the spider web.

Moments later, Marie tied the limbs of the infected with spider webs and drove them all to a corner of the hallway.

“Bocchan is kind. To be merciful.”

“It’s not like mercy. If you can get past it without killing it, you just won’t kill it.”

From noble mtl dot com

If my life was threatened, I would have killed him without hesitation. That level of determination has been made.

But now that Erua and Rachel are joined, there is no danger. So, the enemies in front of you are not necessarily the ones you have to kill.

It’s clear that killing all infected people is the surest way, but

On the other hand, the merit gained from killing is only about that much.

“It would be embarrassing to kill him, so why kill him?”

I don’t want to wake up at night feeling uncomfortable, and I don’t want bad rumors to spread. According to the repertoire up to now, if you kill someone by mistake, bad rumors might arise saying, “The idiot of the Duke’s family even committed murder.”

I don’t want to be stressed in a situation where I’ve already secured my survival.

There are many things to be stressed about.

“…Ariel, it looks like something powerful is coming.”

Claire muttered suddenly.

What she sees is the direction of her stairs.

Not the stairs we came up on, but the opposite side. These are the stairs going down from the roof.

Apparently there were monsters on the rooftop as well, and a large number of miscellaneous monsters appeared.

Among those monsters, there is one monster slowly walking this way.

“I know you’re coming…”

A voice I’ve heard speaks to me.

Pure white skin. There is no focus on the pupils, and the irises are already white.

His arms are bizarrely oversized. It was so heavy and huge that it moved while dragging on the floor.

It was swollen here and there like a lump of cancer, and there were bumps all over the place.

Everywhere you look, it’s a monster.

Its face looks like a human, but it is a monster.

“Eri, Earl-kun…”

He speaks in a clear voice and looks at me with white eyes.

Knowing it wasn’t good to look into those eyes, I slyly averted my gaze.

“…Della.”

“……I saw it on the roof. Ariel-kun, entered the building…”

Says Della.

She said in a half-squeezed voice.

One step.

One step.

She approaches, dragging her heavy arms.

Neither her abyss monster nor other infected students attack her. Since she is already recognized as a member of the same class, she even moves to move away from her place.

Stand in front of me like Claire stopped Della,

Rachel’s cave centipede, as if wary of it, she pulls out its head.

Erea is also conscious of its existence so that she can run at any time.

“Thank God, this is it. Lastly… I met Ariel-kun.”

Right after that, Della acted swiftly.

Bend her upper body and bend her knees.

And,

I sat down as it was.

“……Sorry, I did.”

Then he said so.

I open my eyes wide.

“What…?”

“I’m sorry… For deceiving Ariel… For betraying and trying to kill you… I’m sorry, Ariel…”

“…….”

I kept my mouth shut.

Organize them one by one to understand the situation.

Della is infected.

The infection progressed quite a bit. Now, she has become a monster and cannot return to being a human.

At this level, she should be unable to use human language, but she has not completely lost her humanity yet. Compared to Evans, who has lost her intellect, she still has her consciousness as a human being.

The reason must be because she is a priest. She had a high divinity stat, so she must have come here with her consciousness barely guarded.

Only to meet me.

To apologize to me.

“Kill me, please, Ariel…”

The woman who will no longer be human speaks.

“I’m a criminal who tried to kill Ariel-kun… Please, please, so that I can finally pay for my crimes… And die as a human…”

Della put her upper body on the floor as if she were about to fall over.

What kind of feeling should I feel?

Should the girl who betrayed and tried to kill me be happy that she became like this?

Or should I feel her displeasure at seeing her do her inconvenient favours, until she becomes a monster?

“Ariel…”

Marie looks at me worriedly.

Then, Claire secretly drew her sword and approached Della.

“I mean, I made a promise to Miss Marie. Ariel’s contempt, her anger, her twisted desires… I’ve decided to keep all those unpleasant feelings.”

Claire raises her sword.

As if he would strike Della’s neck at any second.

“It doesn’t matter if I do it, Ariel. I don’t care about this.”

Well, I guess. It’s because Claire isn’t delicate.

Then what about me? Am I a sensitive person?

I don’t know. I’ve never thought of myself as delicate.

“Ariel-kun…”

Della calls out my name as I hesitate to make a decision.

The time given to me won’t be much. Sooner or later, Della will lose her humanity and transform into a true monster.

If I could let a human die, it would be this moment.

‘Which one is best?’

Broadly speaking, there are two things. Will you kill or save?

Killing it will make us a little safer, as I said before. And, as per Della’s wish, it would be possible for her to die as a human.

Conversely, if you want to save it, well…. By somehow tying Della up and leaving her alone until Lucius defeats the ‘boss’, will Della regain her human form again?

Probably impossible.

It has already been a while since the apocalypse occurred. Della has already turned into a monster several hours ago.

Even Marie, who became a phoenix in a relatively short period of time, could not return to being a perfect human in the end. Della, whose body is severely deformed, will never return to being human, and she will not be able to maintain her current humanity.

I have no intention of taking responsibility for Della.

Wasn’t it decided from the beginning? The only thing I’m responsible for is my life and Marie’s life.

“I…”

“Don’t be hypocritical. Don’t make me suffer any more, just end it without pain.”

A low voice rang out.

When I thought it was a voice I had never heard this time,

She saw a knife pass in front of her eyes.

– Grasp!

Fresh blood splattered and chunks of meat flew into the sky.

The girl’s cloak swayed as if it were fluttering, and she retrieved the sword she was swinging just before.

His short stature catches the eye first, followed by the epaulettes on his arms.

With that alone, I know who she is. As far as I know, only one person has such an expression that makes him look like an arrogant boy.

Andy Parfum.

The captain of the knights is here.

“…Tsk. Are you interfering, Claire?”

Saying that, Andy clicked her tongue.

Claire lost one of her arms while blocking Andy’s sword…… She says with a pained face.

“…I’m still sick, but you’re saying strange things. Party members siding with the party leader…Isn’t it basic, Captain?”
