V1C1 Part2

Translated by Mlzkzr Edited by Mlzkzr

In contrast to the grinning boys, the Blaze female students had a clear hostility towards Iris.

“What is, that woman?”

“Is she planning to set up a honey trap on my Hart?”

“The Absolute’s cold-blooded woman, was using her amorous glance to Haruto…… I seriously can’t forgive her.”

Francette replies immediately.

“That’s rude! To think that only the men there fell for the Princess-sama!? Princess-sama is the crystallization of beauty, unlike with a meager body like yours! You have an unscrupulous inferiority complex, didn’t you!?”

“She’s tempting Haruto as I thought!! And what’s with the meager body!?”

The issues are also messed up, and the students who swear each other, didn’t know what they were arguing about. However, their purpose is to curse the other party.

“Ahh!! Geez, you bastards, that’s enough!!”

Haruto shouted.

“I won’t be deceived by such a woman! I’m not interested in that one either, and I’m not agitated!”

Iris’ icy expression remains the same. However, her eyes became sharp a little.

“I, to deal against a mountain monkey like you, am not a charitable person enough.”

“What was that?”

Hart comes out in front again, and glares at Iris.

However, Iris without drawing a step, glared back.

“If you’re not willing to fight the Northern Demons (Tempest), I can first occupy Blaze, and force you to obey, you know?”

“Interesting. Can you do it, Bastard.”

The two people’s gaze scatter sparks.

Elric-sensei holds his head, and mutters like he’s given up a little.

“It’s already…… out of my control, good grief……”

And the students in the room, were filled with bloodlust again.

Iris’ upturned blue eyes, was staring fixedly at Haruto.

“With the Northern Demons (Tempest), are you prepared to fight them ? Haruto Shindou”

During that time ——Haruto noticed something all of a sudden. As if being in a hurry, he looked back on his Blaze companions.

“Be vigilant, you guys! The Northern Demons (Tempest) is coming!!”

Being an abrupt thing, the Blaze students stared at Haruto with absentminded faces.

“Hah? What are you talking about, Haruto. This place is at the central, isn’t this? Where the four countries are adjacent to it, it’s in the middle of the continent, ain’t it? Aren’t those at northern border?”

The ground rumbled.

Along with the rumbling of the ground, a faint vibration is transmitted to them from the floor.

“Shit! They appeared!?”

When Haruto looked at his surroundings with vigilant, the walls on the corridor side blew off.

——!?

“Kyaaaaaaaaaahh!?”

“Uoohh!?”

A student that was swallowed up at it fell to the floor, and screams rose with a momentary delay.

Then, when they saw the thing which broke through the wall, and entered the classroom, a second shriek rose.

“No…… Northern Demons (Tempest)!?”

At first glance, it looks like a person. However, its whole-body skin is bluish-green. It has no pupil and iris on its eyes, and its exposed teeth are fangs like that of carnivores. On its head were thorn-like horns. Its body is larger than humans, and the muscles of its whole body are abnormally developed.

——Danger level 5 Ogre.

In the forest near the north, human remains eaten by Ogres, are often discovered.

It has been taught since childhood, that Northern demon (Tempest) is reasonably intelligent and dangerous. In the minds of the students, the human figure which was mercilessly eaten revives.

“Kiyaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!?”

The girls’ screams rang out, and the classroom fell into panic.

Although they are excellent students, they have no experience in combat. In the appearance of the Northern Demon (Tempest) who suddenly popped out, it was no wonder that they lost sight of themselves.

“Whe,where did it came from!? Why is it inside the classroom of the academy!?”

Even Elric-sensei which can’t get his head around the events suddenly, can’t cope. He simply shouted in a restless voice.

To make matters worse, there was more than one Ogre.

Two more creatures continued to break through the door, and enter the classroom.

The passageway side is now sealed by the Ogres, and there is no escape. If there is only one option, they have no choice but to jump out of the window.

However, this place is the fourth floor. The students who can’t use material moving magic 『Movement』, need to be prepared for death.

Be eaten by the Ogres, or fall to death —— such choices, drive the students into the depths of despair.

—— But,

In the classroom smelled with the scent of death, there were two calm students.

“……this time, it’s Ogre hah.”

When Haruto murmured without interest, while carrying a sword on his shoulder, he walked defenselessly towards the Ogre.

After coming to its place, Elric-sensei finally regained his composure.

“Don’t! I’ll deal with it, so step back——”

It was at the same time that Elric-sensei tried to release Restriction magic, that the Ogre attacked Haruto. Leg strength far exceeding that of humans, the Ogre’s body flew right in front of Haruto in an instant.

“『Flame』!”

He brandished the flame.

Hart seemed to calmly, wave his sword casually.

The flames draw the trajectory of the sword.

The next moment, the Ogre was directly divided into two.

Its corpse flies in the air, and when it is engulfed in flames, it becomes ashes in an instant.

The skeleton remains as charcoal, but it also shatters when it falls to the floor.

One of the remaining two of three, further attacks Haruto.

His sword shines red, and raises sparks.

—— Flame.

It was Fire magic.

It’s Blaze’s most prided flame system magic.

Its power is weak, but it doesn’t need long incantations, and easy to invoke. By letting the sword be dwelled in the magic, the fire magic is directly struck at the moment he slashes.

When Haruto wields his sword lightly, a more intense flame depicts the trajectory of the sword.

Instead of jumping straight, it inserts a slight feint, and kicks the floor. It’s faster than the previous Ogre. It’s sharp claws, slashed Haruto.

That’s what it seemed.

However, Haruto dodged such a blow without difficulty, and swung his sword.

The body of the Ogre that jumped, before landing, was split into two.

Around its torso, it was separated up and down.

Its two split bodies while being wrapped in flames, roll on the floor.

There was no time for it to raise death throes at the end. Its corpse becomes charcoal, leaving no bones.

One more.

The remaining Ogre is the largest of the three, and it was robust.

That one, swoop down on Iris.

Iris as well, put her fingertips on her sword.

“『Frost』”

That’s like the ice version of Flame.

Iris’s sword, Streptopelia glows blue, and scatters white ice crystals.

Absolute is specialized at ice-based magic. Her sword becomes extremely cold, lowering the temperature of the air and producing white smoke and glittering particles.

Iris fends off the attacking Ogre with graceful movements as if she was dancing. When it was wondering if it would move to counterattack from here ——,

She had already slashed the Ogre.

The Ogre’s body freezes. Frosting it from its feet to hips, chest, arms, and head, stopping its movements, and ceasing its life.

When Iris quietly approached the ice statue of Ogre, with the tip of her sword, she stabbed it lightly.

The Ogre, which turned into an ice statue, crumbled down. They don’t even comprehend that it was an Ogre anymore. All that remains, is just a pile of smashed ice.

The students were stuffing their breath, and staring at the stream of sequences.

And after a few seconds,

In the quiet classroom,

The crackling applause and cheers resounded.

“It was incredible, Harutooooo!! As expected of Blaze’s leading magician!! You’re the strongest!!”

“Iris-samaaaaaaa! Just like an ice fairy! She’s beyond magnificent!!”

The excited students were shouting, and they couldn’t hear what they were saying.

“Haruto-kun! Iris-san! Are you alright!?”

When Elric-sensei ran up to them, he stared anxiously at the two’s bodies.

“Alright is it….. what’s that?”

When Haruto asked a question in return with his sword in his pocket, Elric-sensei shrugged his shoulders in amazement.

“No, I don’t even have to ask…… I feel regretful. Rightfully, I had to respond with it.”

As Eris store her sword, she shook her head.

“Since it was a sudden thing. It’s no wonder you were surprised.”

“Yeah …… nevertheless, you two were calm, and really amazing. As expected of the sole head magicians who carry their countries on their backs. Also, looking at the current coordination between you two, I was convinced that the establishment of this school wasn’t wrong.”

“What was that?”

To Haruto’s sharp glare,

“That’s because, it was a wonderful coordination, wasn’t it. Your each other’s breath is exact.”

“Haa!? In what place do you mean! Something like breath, it isn’t match at all! Besides, don’t put us head magicians together! This girl, got it by her social position! I got it with my own strength, you know!!”

Iris also displeasurely frowns her face.

“Sensei, please don’t say anything unpleasant. Being treated in the same rank as Blaze in itself, is an insult to us.”

“Eh……uhmm”

With cold sweats pouring, when Elric- sensei stepped back, this time Haruti and Iris glared at each other.

“To use flames inside the classroom, are you a pyromaniac? Your thought is too shallow. In such a case, far from protecting the people, it will involve unrelated individuals.”

“Hah? Don’t be a sore loser. I defeated two, you one. That means I’m twice, as strong as you.”

“The one I defeated was the largest. Thank you for your hard work on taking care of the small fries. In that sense, it helped me a little. Are you happy?”

“Bi……b*************tch!”

Haruto touches the handle of his sword again, and Iris also draws out her sword.

“Now now! Anyway, thanks to you guys, the school was protected. On behalf of the teachers, I thank you!”

Elric-sensei floated a tense smile, while breaking in between the two.

“More than that, we have to find out why the Ogres appeared! Now, everybody go out into the corridor! I’m going to start the investigation!”

Iris touches the hair ornament on her head, then wraps her hair around her fingertips, and brushes it smooth.

“Haruto Shindou, I won’t get tired of dropping you from the top of the clock tower 21 times. That face, how happy would I be if I didn’t look at it for the rest of my life.”

“…… Interesting eh. If you hate me, then I do too. I’ll pay my respect to that face again, so be prepared.”

“As I said, you should already stop fighting!! Please!!”

With Elric-sensei appealing in tears, the two left the classroom with their faces humphed as they turn away at each other.

Afterwards—— as a result of examining the area around the school building, it was found out there are traces that it was dug up from the ground, and that there was no doubt that the Ogres appeared from that place.

Indeed, it has been confirmed that orcs and ogres originate from the soil.

However, there is no precedence that appeared from the site of the academy.

The invasion of the Northern Demon (Tempest), and the resurrection of the Demon King are approaching as a reality. Both the teachers, and students felt that fact first-hand.

〇〇〇

Gran Magia Magic Sorcery Academy is a dormitory boarding system.

Dormitory buildings are not for one, but are divided by country. That is, because of consideration to prevent pointless disputes.

After dinner is over, each of them spends their free time until the lights are turned off.

Inside the dormitory of the Republic of Blaze, everyone was gathered in the hall. Even if it was said everyone, only thirty people are there. This year’s students are only first-year students, and there are no senior or junior students.

“Well but, I was surprised at today’s Ogre.”

“That’s true. However, we’ve escaped harm since Haruto defeated it.”

Haruto separated himself from everyone’s circle, and was lying on a three-seat sofa by the wall.

“However, we can’t just rely on Haruto at all. Everyone needs to level up, and show that Blaze is the strongest.”

At such times, it is Claude, the deputy chief, who manages the conversation.

Claude with a gentle look behind his glasses, was astutely observing everyone.

“This academy is the touchstone for the four-country alliance, the Republic of Blaze, the Absolute Empire, the Luminous Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Horizon. The balance of power here is, no exaggeration to say that it will be an alliance of power dynamics.”

“What’s this …… we guys, are pretty serious about responsibility.”

“That’s correct. That’s why the other countries —— specially the Absolutes, they need to be crushed. And we have that power. That’s true, right? Haruto”

Haruto, who was thrown with the conversation, rose up with a tiresome smell, and came to everyone’s place.

“That’s obvious. At first, I thought it was a joke since we were at the same school as the other countries, but this is a good opportunity.”

Smiling fearlessly, he looks around the Blaze students.

“Okay, you guys! Blaze is the strongest! Show Absolute, Luminous, and Horizon that we are the supreme ruler of the continent!”

With a few words from Haruto, everyone’s tension jumps up.

“Oooooooooooouuuhh!! Let’s do it!”

“I am! The head!!”

“What their ancestors have done to us, let’s double and give it back!”

When he saw that everyone was getting excited, Claude was once again convinced.

Sure enough, Haruto is a person who should stand on top of people.

As a team, it’s important to be among the best of the four countries, but there are more important things than that.

That is, Haruto, the head magician, being the strongest in the academy.

The head magician is the representative and figurehead of the country.

The strongest, can’t afford to lose to the leader of other countries. Not to mention, such as lagging behind Absolute, which it shouldn’t be.

——I,

Will definitely make Haruto win.

While Claude was thinking about such a thing, Haruto turned his back on everyone, and about to leave the hall.

“Where are you going? Haruto”

“—— Somehow, I’m sleepy. I’m going to go to bed. Then, see you tomorrow, you guys”

“Oh, wah eh hey, Haruto “

“Since you played a very active part today, you must be tired. Good night, Haruto.”

While being sent with greetings from the other students, Haruto left the room.

He heads down at the dark stairs to his room.

While walking in the darkness, Haruto’s eyes were glowing with determination.

“……My bad. Claude”

Like that, he leaked while standing alone.
