Shoo-

A sky covered with dark clouds and heavy rain pouring down.

Even though it was daytime, a huge change was occurring inside the academy, which was engulfed in darkness.

[Kelg Durakal―]

A sudden, loud noise echoed through the minds of all the students.

At that voice that turned the heavens and earth upside down and shook space, all the people within the Academy grounds intuitively felt that something unusual had happened.

Feeling a strange fear for the first time in their lives, they all stood up from their seats and hurried to check the situation unfolding in front of the main building.

For students, classes were no longer a thing to be concerned about.

Even the professors abandoned their lectures and looked out the window to check out the unusual situation.

What was happening now was clearly an emergency that brought all operations at the Academy to a halt.

“What’s going on?”

“B, Miss Breward is back…!”

Students inside the main lecture hall were glued to the windows, watching the scene unfold on the hillside in the distance.

“Joe, get out of the way! I can’t see you!”

“Eight, this won’t do. Let’s go outside!”

As the window seats became full of people, the remaining students ran to the rooftop or even left the building, crowding the front of the main building and casting waterproof magic to avoid the pouring rain.

Crowds swarmed through every window of the main academy building, onto the roof, and even outside the building.

In front of all those students and professors watching―

Tyricia Broward took her place at the bottom of the hill.

A girl with her head down, soaking wet from head to toe, getting drenched in the pouring rain.

At first glance, he looks as if he has a cold and has no strength.

The powerful words that had just shaken the academy were now in vain, as no magical power was emanating from the girl’s body.

But what was most bizarre of all was her outfit.

A somewhat embarrassing outfit, a translucent negligee that shows off the underwear worn underneath.

It was as if he had jumped out of bed while sleeping.

And there was one object that contrasted with that light demeanor.

A beautiful sword that exudes cold air, held in her hand.

No one noticed that it was the sword, the Brunac, which was considered the most important heirloom of the Brood family, but the crowd instinctively knew that it was something special just from its ornate and antique appearance and the heavy presence emanating from its blade.

[I came to kill you.]

People held their breath as the words came out of her mouth, waiting in silence to see if the person the girl had pointed out would actually appear.

A cold silence passed for a moment,

thud!

From the top floor of the main building, a man jumped down in front of Tirisia.

Son of the Academy’s chairman. Kelg Durakal.

He appeared in leather pants and a tight-fitting T-shirt instead of his school uniform, and he seemed to be saying something to the girl who was coldly staring at him in the rain.

It was a bit of a distance down the hill from the main building site, and the sound of the heavy rain cut off what he was saying, so they couldn’t tell, but the students could guess roughly what he was saying.

because,

The sight of Kelg Durakal shaking his shoulders and talking excitedly,

Because the next moment, the sidewalk blocks on the hill were being ground down.

“―?!”

Not only students, but even professors.

No one could follow the phenomenon with their eyes.

A brief moment between moments.

As that tiny gap passed, Kelg was already curled up on the ground.

Kelg was also unaware of the rapidly changing situation.

He came to his senses and instinctively raised his upper body from the floor.

Bam!

“Kooo!”

He screamed in pain, blood gushing from both nostrils.

Only then were the students able to understand what was happening before their eyes.

The very first mark of the Kelg Durakal’s fall as it dug into the ground.

Shooo―

Because there was Tirisia standing still with her fist thrust forward.

It was just a simple conclusion.

Tirisia struck Kelg in the face and knocked him down.

Kelg’s nose was badly broken and bleeding, and Tirisia approached him as he groaned in pain and muttered something with a cold face.

A sudden clash between two people who had framed a common student and encouraged his expulsion.

Kelg Durakal, who confessed at the time of trial that all of his crimes were committed under the threat of Tirisia.

In return, Tyrisia would have been expelled from the family and sentenced to indefinite house arrest.

But what was happening at the academy now seemed to negate all of those premises.

Tirissia Brood, who was clearly under house arrest, was seen walking to the academy from which she had been expelled in her pajamas, and for some reason was threatening to kill Kelg Durakal, whom she had used as a blackmailer.

Although they do not know the details of the incident, the moment they saw Tyrisia punch Kelg in the face without any hesitation, this thought occurred to the students.

Ah… this is not the time to be sightseeing.

immediately,

You might have to evacuate.

*

“Stop joking and get up.”

Kelg Durakal saw the cold eyes looking down at him.

“Because it hasn’t even started yet.”

“Haa… ?”

Thud!

At Tyrissia’s incomprehensible remark, Kelg kicked the ground and distanced himself from her.

“After… ”

He fixes the broken nose and performs a healing ritual as needed.

Although he was able to manipulate Tyrisia’s magical powers equally through predation, there was one trait he could not take away from her.

Thousands of delays.

A body chosen by God, forged through generations by the vision of the Brewery family that deals with ‘flow’.

To put it simply, it was a special constitution that could recover almost any damage.

The level of that overwhelming resilience was previously demonstrated in a duel with the outraged Lucica Lapisle.

An ability that is virtually immortal, allowing one to move unharmed even when one’s body is set ablaze by a giant lightning bolt.

Tirisia’s body was another innate talent that she was born with, separate from magic power, so it was an ability that did not fall within the scope of predation.

That is why Kelg was now recovering the damage he had received with normal healing techniques, but was instead increasing its power based on Tirisia’s vast magical power.

“… ”

Tirissia did not pursue Kelg any further, but just watched his actions with her arms hanging limply.

As if they were deliberately giving me time to recover.

“Huh!”

After the first aid was completed, Kelg blew his nose to remove the blood and wiped his face with his sleeve as he spoke to Tirisia.

“Okay, I think this is enough entertainment, right? Yeah?”

A sinister smile appeared on his lips, as if he was looking at prey caught in a trap.

As planned.

Tirissia fell for his provocation and launched a preemptive strike.

The movements were faster than I thought, but it wasn’t so fast that I couldn’t react.

It’s at a level where you can avoid it if you just make up your mind to do so.

However, in order to make it seem like he was acting in self-defense against Tirisia’s attack, he deliberately took her attacks.

Even screaming in pain was an act to further highlight the fact that he was a one-sided victim to the students watching from behind.

Now every human in the Academy witnessed the fact that he had been struck in the face by Tyrisia, who had appeared out of nowhere, and was thrown to the ground.

Since this was not a duel but merely an assault, from now on, whatever he did against her would be considered self-defense.

In fact, Kelg’s true intention was to ignore such trivial laws and run wild as he pleased.

However, if he were to reveal himself as an unbridled traitor at this point, there might be an unexpected variable in the family’s long-cherished wish.

Because of Perjena, the nobles have lost their magic power, and the situation is not completely ready for revolution.

Until he regained his peak magical power, the chairman had ordered him to maintain his status as a mere academy student to the public, so Kelg was calming his boiling blood and acting in self-defense.

“By the way… How dare you act so presumptuous in front of this Durakal?”

Kookung!

A heavy, bloody magical energy was released from Kelg’s body.

The ominous air pouring in from all directions dyes the raindrops red.

“You put down your sword and…you threw a punch, right? Huh?”

What was bothering him the most now was the fact that Tirisia, who was inferior to him, had not attacked with all her might from the beginning but had instead been negotiating.

A weak human who can never win against himself even if he gathers all his strength and fights a short battle.

I have never heard of anyone being good at fighting, but he dared to declare war on me by waving his sword in the air and engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

The fact that the human beneath his feet was being so relaxed in front of him was something that Kelg’s pride absolutely could not tolerate.

“Heh heh… !”

A fierce annoyance appeared on his face.

“Then, press and hold in the same way…!”

Kelg, who had his body turned diagonally and taken a stance, explosively compressed his magical power into his large copper body.

Phew!

The moment he clenched his fist, a wave of blood burst out from there.

Thousands of delays will only cause injuries faster than recovery.

Even if she wasn’t killed, it was easy to beat her up and subdue her.

Gooo―!

A powerful technique that enhances physical abilities through magic. When it was cast with a magical power that surpassed even Tirisia, even Kelg’s slight movements caused the space to shake and emit high-density pressure.

“… ”

Tyrisia did nothing as she was confronted with the violent sight before her eyes.

Without even taking a stance, she just stared at him with cold, cold eyes.

Kelg, who was further irritated by that dry attitude, bared his fangs and let out an angry roar.

“I’ll completely crush that half-and-half face! Whore!”

Boom!

The ground burst open and Kelg disappeared.

Phew!

The next moment, he appeared in front of Tirisia’s nose and threw his fist, sending out a bloody wave.

“Byeoljjeo―!”

The moment that thing the size of a girl’s head came before my eyes, tearing at the sound―

Bam!

“Huh… ?”

Kelg’s head tilted to the side, and a short question escaped his lips.

Why,

I thought I had definitely hit the target,

Why is my chin turning in the wrong direction?

[yet.]

With cold words passing through my mind,

Boom!

Another punch from Tyrissia snapped Kelg’s neck back to the other side.

Thud!

In Kelg’s rapidly spinning vision, he saw his own flying molars.

‘uh?’

The question crossed my mind once again―

[yet.]

Boom!

A fist was again struck from above into the bridge of his nose that had once been broken, completely crushing the cartilage and slamming his body from his back to the ground.

“Ker… !”

and,

[yet.]

Kelg didn’t even have time to react as he looked at the heel falling between his eyebrows.

“?!”

Kwaaang―!

A huge shockwave exploded, blowing away raindrops and sending up clouds of dust.

Kururur…

The shaking subsided, and the students’ vision turned to a gigantic crater that seemed to cut off the hillside path, with two figures inside.

“Turn it off… ”

Kelg Durakal, lying face down, almost buried in the ground, his face covered in blood,

“Not yet―”

A girl in a negligee standing at his bedside like a ghost.

Tirissia Brouard looked down at him with her eyes that radiated coldness, and repeated the words that had now become increasingly real.

“I haven’t even started yet.”
