Episode 29. entrance ceremony (3)
Kwak!
There was a flash of light outside with a roar.
Junmori approached the window with a bewildered expression.
“hey! Are you crazy?”
Dante quickly grabbed his wrist and pulled him under the desk.
“Oh, no, no. the tower is on fire bar, just to the tower. fire.”
“Never go to the window. haven’t you played the game? Standing in front of the door, by the window, getting shot and killed. let’s go.”
Junmori’s eyes are blurry.
He exhaled irregularly, as if having trouble breathing.
“under. ha. under.”
Whoops!
Dante slapped Junmori’s cheek with the palm of his hand.
“Wake! Emergency evacuation tips. remember?”
“uh? uh. no?”
“B1. I’ll go up the stairs. Grab a gun and mana bullets there. Understand.”
“… … .”
“I leave it when it burns.”
In the meantime, several roars continued outside the window.
The sound is still a bit far.
Dante slapped Junmori on the cheek once more.
Poo!
“Stairs, B1, Weapons. okay? let’s go.”
“… … .”
“Answer me!”
“uh! Underground, weapons!”
The dormitory was a mess.
A screaming bastard.
Shivering and urinating guy.
A guy who runs around cursing whales and whales.
Dante shouted at his throat.
“hey! Get all your weapons on the 1st basement floor! Get down!”
We can’t take care of all the people here.
Dante grabbed Jun Mori’s wrist and started down the stairs.
thump thump.
My heart is on the verge of bursting.
‘Let’s stay calm. Grab your weapon and move along the emergency passage.’
There was no time to think back and forth.
First of all, if you follow the procedures you heard during the tour, the chances of surviving are higher.
Dante shouted the same thing over and over again on the second and first floors.
“B1! Go get your weapons, assholes! wake up! run!”
The bombardment continued and the announcement was cut off.
They needed someone to give them orders.
More than half of the new students were children who had been educated since childhood to enter the academy. However, there was no such thing as ‘how to survive in an emergency’ in that training course.
nearly 100 years.
Although aerial monsters occasionally appeared in Central Agras, they were mostly dealt with neatly on the Out Island line.
The In Islands within the shield have never been attacked.
In particular, in areas where superhumans are concentrated, such as the wizard’s tower or academy, multiple barriers are implemented.
Still attacked?
This meant that it would soon penetrate to the ground.

B1.
The arsenal was open.
It is designed to open automatically in case of an emergency.
Dante quickly stood at the door and encouraged the students. There was an emergency passage leading to the back of the armory.
“Gun, ammo, managun! Grab it and go into the emergency passage, quickly!”
The clumsy children move in perfect order.
There were roughly twenty people gathered in the emergency passage.
“Let’s load up here and move.”
coo kung!
Explosions are heard in succession.
The building trembled and the rubble crumbled little by little.
“Oh f*ck. Are we X?”
“Monster? Could it be a monster?”
“What happened on the first day of admission? Not f*cking lucky.”
Dante spoke in a calm voice.
“hey. Pass those who can’t use mana to those who can.”
It was a crazy situation.
The children brought whatever they were caught, regardless of whether it was a mana gun or a regular firearm.
Normal firearms use mana cartridges. According to what I heard during the tour, it was very expensive because it was made of S-class mana stones.
“Did you hear it on tour? Live ammunition is better than managun except for some people. If you’re ready, let’s go.”
The moment everyone tries to get up and move.
A male student asked Dante.
I’m one of those guys who had a gossip parade at the gym.
“But who are you? Why is it a command?”
The guy next to him hit him in the back of the head.
“The sick talk a lot. just go fast! If you twist it, you will take the lead.”
“Okay, okay?”
“Blood-skinned bastard.”
Swearing erupted from here and there due to upbringing.
As they walked through the long aisles, the children calmed down little by little.
The turn signals were on, so it wasn’t difficult to find the way.
the problem is… … .
“Stop for a moment. The aisle is blocked.”
At Dante’s words, the children murmured.
The only passage was blocked. Part of it seemed to have collapsed from the continued bombardment.
Then there is only one option left.
“Turn around and go to the entrance of the dormitory.”
Some kids complained.
“Oh f*ck! I just followed you.”
“I wasted my time because of you, man!”
Dante replied without changing his expression.
“If you are dissatisfied, act separately.”
Dante gripped his weapon and started running down the hallway. Meanwhile, debris continued to fall.
crash.
The children quickly followed Dante.
thought Dante.
‘If the emergency passage is blocked, there are four routes to choose from.’
East, West, South, North.
He said there was an airship boarding area for emergency escape in the basement at the end of the campus.
‘East or south is closer here. East? Or south?’
The freshman dorms were on the southeast side of campus.
And since the professor’s dorm is in the south… … .
‘Are you alive? did you escape? or not… … ha.’
Dante opened his mouth.
“Has anyone properly seen the situation outside? The one who confirmed the monster.”
“me!”
“me too!”
Dante nodded.
It was necessary to check whether the enemy was a monster or not.
‘LNP. They might have attacked you.’
The odds are low.
However, if a human attacked, it would have prioritized when attacking, and it was highly likely that the accommodations where the professors were staying would be hit first.
However, some children nailed it as a ‘monster’.
Then the choice is south.
This is Stella Academy, and it is a place where world-class superhumans are professors.
“I’m going to the southern boarding area. close too There are professors’ quarters over there, so you might be able to get some help.”
the entrance of the accommodation.
The bombing continued.
[ Detect Mana Pattern ]
Dante looked around.
Something is strange.
no pattern
I could feel the scattered mana here and there, but I couldn’t see a pattern.
‘All defense patterns must have been destroyed. ah… … Let’s think about it later.’
“Jun Maury. follow me closely Got it?”
“uh!”
thank god.
Junmori seemed to have come to his senses now.
With Dante in the lead, the children escaped from the dormitory building one by one.
“ah… … Mr. bar. under.”
Half of the 10 freshman dormitories were destroyed.
The corpses of friends who had taken the admission oath were scattered in the square.
It was a grim sight.
“let’s go! If we procrastinate, we die too.”
Encouraged by Dante’s words, the children shouted together.
“let’s go!”
“Gogo!”
Stella is a large island with a width of 10 km and a height of 5 km. If you think of moving while being wary of your surroundings, it might take quite a while.
By the time the group had just left the dormitory area. I heard a roar behind me.
Kwak Kwak!
“Get down!”
With strong heat that seemed to burn the skin. Bounced building debris hit the group.
Moaning erupted from everywhere.
Dante turned his head slightly to observe the pattern once more. I see a huge mass of mana in the air. It was dark, so I couldn’t confirm the substance, but judging by the shape, it was similar to a dragon.
Whether it’s a dragon or a sparrow, it doesn’t matter. When an air type monster awakens, it evolves into a form almost like a dragon.
‘Am I attacking only with powerful magic bullets, not magic?’
Maybe it was night, and it was fortunate that it was an aerial monster. In the current situation, what if you encounter a monster right in front of your nose? Dante didn’t have the confidence to keep his head down.
Some children who are sensitive to mana, including Jun Mori, came up with their opinions.
“Dante! It’s still over our heads.”
“After he’s gone, let’s move.”
The guy who had been twisted from the beginning opened his mouth again.
“Dante? Were you Dante? Have you heard of third place?”
This time, even Dante did not hold back.
“Listen, if you twist it, it will go out, you idiot. Why are you following me and opening your snout?”
Jun Mori also helped Dante.
“that’s right! I just want the atmosphere to be turned off for no reason. And I’m tired of you. Are you sure you didn’t urinate?”
“What are you saying, black-haired corporal!”
One of the students, who had been watching quietly from the beginning, struck the racist in the head, knocking him out.
“The corporal is you. You nasty racist scumbag.”
Dante opened his mouth.
“Then let’s go.”
Fortunately, no one died from the shrapnel.
The monster seemed to focus on attacking buildings. As a result, I had to move around using a small sculpture as a shield without being able to take cover.
‘After destroying all the buildings, it becomes more dangerous.’
“hey. You’re almost there. Let’s go a little bit faster.”
“go!”
What will we be like in the future?
Will the ground be safe?
What was the family like?
Will the base be safe?
‘Alicia… … Did you evacuate well?’
Even in the middle of the day, the children did not rest.
At one point, no bombing sound was heard. It seemed that the roar had damaged the eardrum.
A trail of blood is left behind.
“hey! I guess I can’t. You guys go.”
It was the guy with a shrapnel stuck in his stomach.
He was bleeding profusely.
Dante approached.
“What is your name?”
“Claudio that… … .”
The child even tried to tell her last name, but gave up.
Because I am not a child of a prestigious family.
To be honest, I was really afraid that I would leave it behind.
Claudio continued.
“why. What’s your name!”
“Why? I’m going to tell your family later. I could have lived, but I gave up like an idiot in the middle. Wake up when I say good things. I’ll help you. For the rest, go to the professors’ quarters first and look over the situation.”
At Dante’s words, a group of children headed for the professor’s residence. Dante supported Claudio with Jun Mori.
“You just have to go a little further.”
“wait for a sec.”
Junmori took a white handkerchief out of his pocket. Then he paused and put the handkerchief to Claudio’s mouth.
“Don’t bite your tongue. Then let’s go.”
Claudio moved his legs while moaning. They slowly approached the professor’s quarters.
I see mana chunks coming and going in front of me. Gunshots continued everywhere.
One male student who had gone earlier returned.
He was a big guy.
“Professor, a few minutes are still alive. I’ll up this baby. Let’s go.”
I felt a moment of relief.
If you work with veteran seniors with 2 or 30 years of experience. Still, wouldn’t it be much better than being with students?
After walking for some time, a middle-aged man who appeared to be a professor ran toward Dante’s group.
“Are you going to the southern boarding area? Come with me.”
“Thank you professor!”
“This is Ramil Kvyat. You guys were going to be magic bullet instructors.”
Ramil told me a few things as we moved.
“It seems to be an object with the ability to interfere with magic. under… … I want the magicians’ hands to be tied.”
The faces of the students became contemplative.
An ability to interrupt magic?
Is there such a thing?
Junmori spoke.
His voice was trembling badly.
“Then I will die. Can I catch magic bullets alone without magic? There is no future without magic. It’s a thesis written by the professor himself.”
Dante was equally desperate.
From noble mtl dot com
‘If you were a magic bullet instructor, you would have been a defense mage… … .’
This is what Alicia told me at the shooting range before.
So, you don’t know how relieved I was when Ramil said ‘Matan Instructor’. If I can’t use magic, it’s all useless.
Quite a few faculty members remained in the dorm building. They fired a bombardment into the air. It was a different gun from the one the students took.
I don’t know the exact name, but it looked similar to the RPG-7, an anti-tank missile that was used in the old days.
‘uh? This is Professor Jia Han.’
Dante found Jia Han standing alone over there wrestling. There was no gun in Jia Han’s hand. Instead, an unexpectedly huge amount of mana was emanating from her body.
Shuwook!
A large sphere flies into the air.
Jia Han continued to keep an eye on the monster. The orb, which seemed to miss, turned around and hit the monster.
Whoops!
It crashed with a grotesque sound.
“and… … oh my god.”
Jia Han, who discovered Dante’s group, shouted.
“Guys! Hurry to the boarding area… … .”
It was then.
“Kyaaah!”
A ray of blue light fell on Jia Han’s head.
She disappeared without a trace with a shriek.
Ramil yelled.
“Professor Han!”
iron puck.
Torn flesh fell in front of Dante’s eyes.

same time.
Alicia was in the break room with her middle school classmates.
A student who was watching Jia Han on the screen spoke.
“and. I also fell for Han Ji-ah’s desperate acting. Aren’t you really sick?”
“But this freshman seems really pitiful. The declaration ceremony on the first day of admission.”
“I know. But from a viewer’s point of view, it’s a lot of fun.”
New students are a tradition of Stella Academy.
I was in the middle of a harsh reporting ceremony.
I suspected it was an illusion. I got suspicious when they were asked to use the sleep capsule all at once. And later when the disaster struck
