The sky became dark.

A wilderness where you can see in the distance.

A golden glow was shining gently from the hundreds of positions surrounding the large gray fortress city. The light sparkles and intermittently illuminates the surrounding scenery.

Numerous dark elf students were standing guard at the place where the armor puppets and magic weapons were installed.

Dark elf students of with dark skin. They were accustomed to the darkness of the school, which was built as an underground fortress, so their vision was unobstructed even in the darkness of the wilderness.

The fearsome guards surrounding . However, for reasons unrelated to darkness, the dark elf students’ boundaries were gradually becoming blurred.

“… ”

“… ”

Guuu…

The 3-meter-tall armor standing next to them periodically makes noises. At the same time, the dark elf students wearing black armor turn around with sparkling eyes.

An excitement that cannot be hidden.

Black background and golden color.

Their favorite color.

Finally, a third-year dark elf student wearing work clothes with braided blonde hair muttered. It was a dialect unique to , spoken as if chewing it out of the mouth.

“Dem… ! Look at all the stains?”

Although she didn’t really agree with this invasion that was launched in the name of midterms… I had just found one thing I liked. Working with this mind-blowingly cool automatic weapon.

The smock student continued talking as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“I never thought I would see with my own eyes the completion of our school’s long-awaited project, ‘Nice Armor’… What on earth did President Andrea do? Where on earth did you get this ridiculous thing? !”

An exclamation used by high-ranking people or even by some students in a dialect they don’t use, calling it vulgar. At the same time as those words were said, the armored dark elf students standing guard secretly agreed.

“Well, it was a bit embarrassing. I wasn’t the only one who was worried about it earlier.”

“Dem, look at how golden the color is… ”

“How much money did you say this cost?”

The smock student answered with a grin.

“I heard that this was made by pouring ether conductive ore into the output core, which is equivalent to five ether trains in one… Even now, I am transferring the blessings I received from the dungeon gate next to me into conduction ore and recharging them.”

Everyone’s eyes are moving.

A cable connected to the core of ‘simple armor’.

“That one.”

As she said, the neat cable attached to the body of the ‘neat armor’ was connected from the entrance to the dungeon gate. The armor students who confirmed this let out exclamations at the same time.

“Dem… !”

“Dem… !”

Before we knew it, the Armor students were completely speechless. They continued to ask the student in overalls about the ‘simple armor’ weapon.

“How many hours has this been charging?”

“Because I did it earlier during the day… Roughly 3 hours? A blessing that can make 10 people with level 2 [Vibration Ether] flying around is being used here.

“It’s a completely walking power plant. Should I take some crumbs?”

“If you want to get your head ripped off directly by the leadership manager or Chairman Andrea, do it.”

“… I should quit.”

The armor students’ shoulders trembled as if they were afraid just imagining Andrea’s anger. Wasn’t it because of Andrea’s immense power that these women, who just liked money, were dragged into a fight they didn’t want to fight?

The female student in overalls continued speaking with a smug look on her face.

“This is the culmination of magic engineering that no one can make. Can you see the romance of moving armor among young people riding square toys?”

“Dem… How much do you want to spend on this?”

A question asked carefully by an armor student.

When the blonde smock student heard that, he covered his mouth with his hand and responded humorously. In fact, it was a taboo to reveal the value of items among the dark elves who lived for money, but it was good now.

“If you stand out with just this, you can open a small school in Academy City.”

“Dem… ”

“Dem… ”

Armor students clapping their heads and cheering.

They had already forgotten that they had invaded another school’s property and were looking at the ‘neat armor’.

To the dark elves who believed in mammonism, comparison with expensive items was truly a heavenly compliment. Among them, the highest value in was to rule the school yourself.

A powerful force that dominates an area.

It was a wealth brighter than any gold.

The armor students spoke in dreamy voices.

“If you open a small school in … He’s just the king there.”

“It’s a romance that makes your heart flutter, but it’s… ”

“Dem… The king of the neighborhood… ”

The dark elves gathered there trembled and trembled.

“… ”

Shashak――

That’s why.

Until the end, I could not find the blurry, fog-like image that had disappeared without a sound between the shadows of the campfire.

“If you open your own school, what do you want to do first?”

“Pile up things earned without labor in the safe and play around with them.”

“Dem… ”

“Dem… ”

Dark elf students dressed in armor and work uniforms spent time talking about things they could do with money of similar value to ‘neat armor’.

Greta came after completing reconnaissance. After reporting to Bell and Sigrun, she took a deep breath.

“Hehe… Hehe… ”

Greta has used her power as a vampire, which allows her to hide like fog in the dark, by scraping it all the way to the bottom. Even though he was a first year student, he was quite skilled.

I was impressed by Greta, the youngest member of the investigative group.

‘He’s better than most of the second graders at … This is how the fog hiding technique is supposed to be used, but that guy… ‘

As I watched Greta’s fog hiding technique, I saw the absurd use of the vampire’s power… I remembered one of my old relationships. Among all her unique classmates, she had the strangest and most unique personality.

‘If I meet two more people, I will reconnect with all my old relationships.’

[Great Bow] and [Fog].

Ironically, the two people I have yet to meet are the two people with whom I had the most benign relationship among the fighters.

‘I never thought I’d meet the bloody Eir or the picky Freya first… ‘

Around the time I was thinking that.

Greta finally caught her breath and spoke with shining red eyes.

“Heo Eok… ! Huh… ! Anyway, I think the Eastern Alliance’s siege works that way.”

“I see.”

Bell nodded at Greta’s words and looked at Sigrun, the dark elf. Even though she was an unusual dark elf, she was a special breed who pursued justice rather than money.

‘Actually, even in , kids like that were treated as something special, so they were separated into an investigation team… ‘

The pure smiles of the female investigation team members smiling and saying that they would definitely guard the main gate of flashed through my mind.

“… ”

Bell asked Sigrun a question.

“Sigrun, how much can you see in this darkness? Is that enough to gauge their level of vision?”

“Four! You can even see the expressions on the faces of the guys flirting next to the golden armor over there, Bell Secretary! It’s probably just my guess, but if we don’t hide well here, they’ll probably see us from over there too!”

“Okay, so please lower your voice… !”

“Oh, sorry, Bell Clerk!”

“Hey… ! please… ! I’m begging you… !”

“Eup-eup.”

Sigrun covers his mouth to prevent his voice from going out of control.

‘Bell, you usually act so relaxed, but you’re embarrassed… ‘

Did he remember Sigrun’s aggro that caught Eir’s attention in ?

Belle’s face became so pale that it could be seen even in the dark, and she pulled on Sigrun’s sleeve. I always pretended to be so strong, but it seemed like I was scared.

Weird

Weird

We hid ourselves in a hole dug somewhere in the wilderness. Then, the smell of damp dirt from the wilderness wafted through the air.

Lotta’s timid voice can be heard behind me as I carefully back up. Her elbow was about to come out of cover.

“Seon, senior… ”

“Huh? Oh, I’m sorry―☆ Ugh☆ If I do this, I can hide, right?”

“I’m sorry… ”

“No, no―☆”

I hugged Lotta, who was about to run out of cover, and hid him in the shadows. Then Lotta lowered his head as if he didn’t know I would do something like that.

Lotta spoke quietly as he was being held by me.

“Always… There’s no need to do it for us like that, senior.”

“Hehe―☆ Is that really the case☆”

“Always give anything, give up anything… And then my hair became dull… You also have a scar on your neck… and… that… ”

Lotta hesitates, unable to speak as if it is ominous.

‘[Faded Spiral]… ? That’s nothing anymore… ‘

I thought I knew the story behind it, so I jumped at the story first.

“That’s nothing anymore―☆ I also get a lot of help from you♪”

“… sorry… Do it.”

“In times like that, say thank you―♪”

“… huh. Thank you.”

Lotta snuggled into my body and hugged me tightly with his small hands.

We hid warmly in the shadows, where not even the moonlight could reach. Everyone who heard our conversation let out a sigh.

‘… ‘I didn’t know that a stray cat would worry about me.’

I was especially surprised that Freya looked at me with sad eyes.

‘Anyway, I have a lot of worries… Anyway, I didn’t know that I would have to go into hiding again after the military.’

Short Belle, Lothar, and I behind the rock.

Albit, Greta, and Sigrun are of appropriate height on the slope of the pit.

And Kara, who boasts the largest size, is at the bottom of the pit.

Freya, who was planning her own strategy, was lying down close to the very front of the pit.

Upright

Upright

It seems like something has been decided.

Purple cat ears moved before my eyes.

Even though it was dark, the movement was vividly visible.

Freya soon opened her mouth in a timid tone.

“… Well, I think the robbers should come to this group.”

“Romance ship? Are you talking about Clara? Why?”

“Senior decided to stay here and protect… Wasn’t it?”

Bell and Albit’s questions, respectively.

Freya answered that question in a firm tone.

“Well, me and… If you only have the Orange Ears’ amplification skill, these guys… Even if you put it all together, the firepower is much stronger… ”

“… ”

“Well, if that’s the case… Rather than a fast-moving rogue ship fluttering about over there… Um, carrying me around… No, it’s safe… Because it’s fast… ”

“Oh… ☆”

I was convinced when I remembered Freya’s speed, which was slower than that of ordinary students even though she had the [Unique Aether] ability.

‘You stray cat… You have great hair… ?’

surely… Rather than clumsily joining forces with Bell and Sigrun, as I cannot produce overwhelming combat power in my current state. It would have been more efficient to use parts that would completely compensate for Freya’s shortcomings.

‘It’s normal to think that kids who are strong will be quick on their feet… This is something I hadn’t thought about.’

Since there is no ether, if only the specs are left, use it as a movement speed increase support.

Indeed, Bongchu Bangtong.

Without hesitation, he brings out the secret methods that Zhuge Liang, who walks the path to the right, could not even think of. The bold plan of not going back and forth was judged to be very effective for now.

While I was thinking that, Arbit came up to me and said.

“Rota, senior… ”

“Huh?”

“… You have to be careful.”

“Yes! I will definitely take good care of you!”

“Thank you so much―☆”

Albert’s sad face.

Somehow, we came all the way here together as colleagues.

The fact that one must entrust the safety of one’s colleagues to someone much better than oneself.

‘Anyway, we’ll be split in two, but we’ll meet again at Golden Street after the two-way operation is over.’

I gave a comforting pat to our Arbit, who was always burning with responsibility, and spoke to Kara, who was the only one who joined in the same frontline position.

“Kara, please watch over Arbit’s back―☆”

“Hehe, of course. Senior comrade too… please… Please don’t get hurt this time.”

Kara quietly stretched out her long arms and held them out to me. And I hit the girl and gave her a big fist bump.

Tuk!

Bell spoke while watching the solemn decision of .

“Hey… For now, we are going together.”

“Bell clerk! It is not right for a leader to break the mood… !”

“Heui profit?! Okay, so lower your voice… !”

Silence returns again.

Freya quietly declared.

“Si, let’s begin. Hang those orange ears.”

“Yes… !”

Lothar swung his wand and cast a skill on Freyja.

[ether link]

Instead of amplifying the used ether several times.

A buff skill that makes you much more threatening and faster.

Freya shouted the phrasal words she had been preparing earlier.

“[Spinning Wheel of Eternity], activated… !”

Shuuu!

In an instant, a purple spinning wheel glows behind Freyja’s back.

And the panicked voices of the dark elves who discovered it.

After receiving Rota’s buff, the spinning wheel became much stronger… A huge purple bow popped out. And a huge purple laser was shot from there.

Quaaang――!!

[Emergency!! Emergency!! We are under attack!!]

[Concentrate all fire nets on the center!!]

[Identification of the attacker!! [Assumed to be a purple spinning wheel]!!]

Beep profit!!!

An ear-piercing warning sound.

In it, Freya looked at the two-way attack team that was about to break through and break through the waist of .

“City, it caught my attention… Run, run.”

“Let’s go!! It’s an attack!!”

Bell, Sigrun, Greta, Albit, and Kara ran out.

And Freya looked at me and said.

“Up, carry on.”

“Yes―☆”

I carried Freya on my back.

At this moment, the student with the fastest feet and the student with the strongest firepower in Academy City have merged.
