The Academy Square was mercilessly destroyed, as if a dragon had run wild and passed through.

I, Erto, am facing Kelg Durakal with my sword raised in the middle of it all.

And his followers, the upper-ranking noble students of the Academy, who surround me to attack me under the orders of Kelg Durakal.

A look of bewilderment ran through the faces of the students who had been proudly raising their weapons just a few seconds ago.

A girl fell next to me as if it was time for their appearance.

She had short, blue and sky blue hair and her arms were roughly shoved into her school uniform jacket, and she opened her eyes and looked around at the people in front of her.

“… ”

omg-

At that gaze, some of the nobles could be heard instinctively holding their breath.

Because she was an overwhelmingly strong person, comparable to Tirissia Brood, who was known to everyone in the Academy.

My swordsmanship teacher, a commoner student with the nickname “Iron-Blooded Swordsman”, ranked 2nd in the academy.

Senior Perjena.

“Hey… ”

She, who had been cursing as soon as she appeared, opened her mouth again,

“You fucking bastards. You’re going to hit me? Don’t you have any self-respect?”

At those words, which were uttered like a beast’s growl, the nobles who had surrounded me in a circle took a step back.

“Hey, Black Horse… !”

“This is unexpected…!”

“Dew, Durakal! What should I do…!”

With the appearance of a huge force that could overturn their numerical disadvantage in an instant, they were thrown into confusion and demanded that Durakal respond to the current situation.

“Kekeke.”

Durakal let out a hollow laugh and welcomed Senior Perzena’s appearance with open arms.

“Who is this? Isn’t this our good classmate, the swordsman?”

“mouth.”

Senior Perzena cut him off briefly, but Durakal paid no attention and continued what he wanted to say.

“Come to think of it, you’ve always just been complaining about whatever happened to that brat. Are you here to act like a hypocrite again? Heh heh… ”

“Hey, you pee-headed punk. And you hotties.”

Ignoring Durakal’s taunts, Senior Perzena took a step forward toward me and grabbed the claymore hilt on her back.

Even though he didn’t draw his sword, the mere movement of it seemed to startle the noble students surrounding us.

In front of them, who were very nervous, Senior Perjena muttered in a low voice.

“I won’t say anything else. Get out of my sight right now.”

“Ha, you’re bluffing again… Huh?”

Kiing-

Durakal’s expression, which was about to lift his chin and laugh at his senior, stiffened when he witnessed the flow of magical power extending from her.

Kiiing―

Kiiing!

The silver magical power that stretched out like a thread from Senior Perjena spread out in all directions along the ground, drawing a zigzag straight line.

The hundreds of magical power lines that stretched out like snakes in all directions at once, at some point all connected in a circle and took the shape of a disc.

The range included all the people currently standing in the square.

“Let me tell you in advance.”

A giant spiderweb-like sword barrier.

As a commoner without any family power, he created his own vision on his own – the ‘Iron-Blooded Realm’.

Senior Perjena, standing in the center, had life-giving light shining in her eyes.

“I don’t say I cut them all. I just cut them.”

Bam!

The ground in front of the twenty noble students surrounding them split open in an instant, drawing a circle.

“Huh?!”

“Eek?!”

Before they could even notice, a long sword mark was carved into the ground in front of their feet, and the noble students let out a shrill scream.

Senior Perzena’s claymore was still unsheathed.

No, she didn’t do anything, just held on to the handle.

“The ones who cross that line are the ones who lose. Even those who don’t cross that line are the ones who lose. Anyway, all the fucking ones are the ones who lose.”

In response to their senior’s reckless remarks, the noble students looked at each other and silently waited for Kelg Durakal’s order.

Then, Senior Perjeena warned them in an even more vicious voice.

“As you can see from looking at it, even that Tirisia can’t beat me in here.”

“… !”

The nobles already knew that this was not a lie.

The freshman evaluation that they and Tirisia Brewery took immediately after entering the academy.

There, senior Perzena, who was ranked number one in the past, had a long duel with Tirisia Bruard, the strongest magician in the Academy’s history and the most popular among the new students.

The secret weapon she pulled out at that time was this ‘Iron Blood Zone’.

The realm of Senior Perjena, which has a narrow range but can unleash swordsmanship close to divine powers.

Even Tirissia was barely able to secure victory by giving up on winning within her own territory and raining down ranged attacks from outside the range.

The noble students realized that they were now standing in the jaws of a monster whose principles they could not even understand.

But from their perspective, running away without even receiving an order from Durakal would have been tantamount to death.

A situation where a knife is pointed at your neck, whether you advance or retreat.

In a dilemma of whether to go or not, the noble students just trembled with pale faces.

As if chewing and swallowing the fear, Senior Perjena delivered a final warning to them.

“There is only one way for you to survive. You disappear from my sight before I finish speaking. By the way, I don’t talk long. Three… Two… One… ”

“Heeek?!”

The moment when the noble students were all shocked and frozen in place, unable to move forward―

“Khahahaha!”

Kelg Durakal burst into laughter from the front.

“Wow, calm down, you rascal.”

He put his greatsword behind his back and raised both hands in surrender.

“I don’t know if it would be okay if it was just one guy, but it seems impossible to deal with both of you at the same time with this level of power.”

“Zero.”

Boom!

The sword that Senior Perjena swung down filled the front with a huge flash of light.

It was already beyond the power that could be exerted with just one sword.

Cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies!

An overwhelming wave of black energy shoots out, destroying all matter in its path.

“Gyaaak?!”

“Waaah?!”

The nobles held on to their robes tightly so that they would not be ripped off by the shockwave that erupted, and crouched down to endure the storm.

Gugugugu…

As the aftershock finally died down, they witnessed the results of Senior Perzena’s single sword strike.

There was a huge ruin that stretched for tens of meters.

The bricks, street trees, and flower bed fences that existed on the road were destroyed to the point of near-complete obliteration.

All the nobles were left breathless and dumbfounded by the catastrophic blow that almost erased space.

And the man who had just passed by was struck by the shock, and his expression was frozen.

“… Hahaha.”

Leaning back and taking a step back from the sword, Durakal let out a harsh laugh.

Senior Perzena put the claymore she had struck down back on her shoulder and glared at him with a cold face.

“I warn you, if this happens again, I’ll cut off your balls first. Don’t touch anyone related to Erto. Unless you want to see me really pissed off.”

“Ah, I guess you’re really pissed. Okay, I understand.”

Duracal shrugged his shoulders and gave orders to the noble students surrounding him.

“Hey, you useless filthy bastards. Get out of here. This is going to cause a bloodbath.”

“Yes, old!”

Pavababababak!

The nobles dispersed into the darkness in an instant, as if they had been waiting for that command.

In the square that had become a wasteland, only three people remained, and silence flowed for a moment.

“What are you doing, yellow nigger, why don’t you get out too?”

When Senior Perjena asked with her fangs exposed, Durakal snorted and turned away from her.

Before leaving, he looked back at his senior with a strange look and said.

“Well, since there are some things I’ve decided that I won’t interfere with that bitch, let’s skip that.”

“Shut up and get out.”

“Heh heh… Well, just have fun with that kid like you wanted.”

Finally, he turned his gaze to me and greeted me with a twisted smile that seemed to indicate that he had something up his sleeve.

“You seem to be the same as me when it comes to playing with girls. Go ahead and have fun.”

“… ”

hook!

With the sound of the wind, the figure of Durakal disappeared into the darkness.

“… That son of a bitch.”

Senior Perjena, who had been watching the scene with her eyes wide open, let out a deep sigh only after it was left alone with me.

“Senior, thank you for saving me.”

I put my sword away and drew out magical power from my entire body. I smiled and expressed my gratitude to my senior.

Even if it was just one Durakal, the chances of winning would have been slim if the nobles had joined in, but thanks to Senior Perjena’s strong spirit, they were able to retreat in an instant.

Moreover, even though it was only a verbal declaration, I was able to get a promise that I would not touch the people around me in the future, so it could be said to be a victory for this side.

“Hoo… Hoo… ”

“… Senior?”

“Ah… ”

My senior, who had been breathing unsteadily with his head down as if he couldn’t hear me, suddenly gave in and fell to the ground.

“Senior!”

Wow!

I caught my senior who was falling and hugged her diagonally to prevent her from falling to the floor.

‘…uh?’

The moment I touched her body, I realized that it was very damp under her clothes.

Cold sweat was pouring down like rain from the senior’s entire body.

“Hoo… Haa… Hoot… ”

My senior, who opened his eyes with difficulty in my arms, smiled bitterly.

“Fuck… Is this how it is that is a bit too much… ”

She lifted her trembling hand and caressed my cheek―

“I’m sorry… I’ll calm down, disciple… ”

Bam!

The hand fell and the senior completely lost consciousness.

“… I guess I should take you home first.”

I picked her up and started walking home.

It was the first time I had brought a woman into my house, other than my childhood friends, Tirisia and Lucica.

The square is so badly wrecked that I’m worried about what kind of uproar there will be tomorrow, but it’s not my fault, so it doesn’t really matter.

First of all, I decided to just think about taking care of my senior.
