{Emergency situation occurring! Emergency situation occurring!
Today, at 1600, A great number of demons appeared at Saitama!
Currently they are heading to Tokyo life sphere going south!
The appearing demons are orc, goblin, gargoyle, harpy―total count two hundred!
bicorn, earth spider, wyvern, ―total count 50!
Reinforcement request came from the national defense army that is going ahead!
All students please assemble at the platoon room immediately!}
Continuing after the alarm sound, a broadcast inside the school was circulated.
Homura knitted his eyebrows towards the details of the situation from the broadcast.
“They gathered quite a lot it seems.”
“Right. It’s rare for an invasion of this scale to happen. Perhaps they are not just stray, but this is an attack from a demon that possesses influence in the demon world.”
“A troop… if that’s so, then there is a possibility of a appearing.”
There was also status among the demons.
―
When they were classified, it was generally into those four classes.
And then, if a also came, it was not an opponent that could be dealt with without S-rank magician.
That was why Onjouji immediately spoke directly using the speakers inside the school from the line inside the room.
{This is New Tokyo Sorcery Academy’s board chairman Onjouji Kai. I inform all the students. The platoons with evaluation lower than 70 points are unneeded to depart. Only the platoons with higher than 70 points are to equip and quickly head to the location. However, the 101st will depart as a special case. That’s all.}
And then Onjouji put back the phone receiver and stared at Homura.
“That’s the situation. I’ll have the 101st to go out too, Homura.”
“…If I remember right, in the document that I got, the 101st platoon’s evaluation was recorded in as 42 points though?”
“It’s obvious that number was blown away already when you entered into the platoon don’t you think? Besides, if we take into account the possibility of appearing, there is no way we can leave the S-rank magician Sumika idle here.”
“You are quite right.”
After shrugging his shoulder looking slightly tiresome, Homura “yo-“ stood up from the sofa.
And then he gazed at Kinugasa,
“Prime Minister. There is also a case of ‘what if’. Send a request to those guys of the for a limited release of .”
“I, I understand! I’ll make a contact to the Five Great Leaders in great hurry!”
“I’ll leave it to you. ―Vel!”
“Nn. I know.”
From Homura’s call, Vel’s body that was sitting beside Homura drinking black tea crumbled down into pieces turning into [pieces of paper].
Those [pieces of paper] was swallowed by the wind, and they gathered inside Homura’s hand with that form transformed even further.
It transformed into a single sword that should be called as solid darkness that possessed no luster.
“Then, I’m going now.”
And then with an ominous sword that was like darkness solidified in hand, Homura―departed to the front line.
The enemy of humanity that he should kill. He went towards the location where the invaders from the demon world were.
Note: The kanji for demon world can also mean hell. Though the place meant here is not literally hell where people go after death, so I guess demon world fits better.
