I Became the Academy’s Female Delinquent Chapter 35. Gleipnir

Reginleif’s opened eyes shone with a vivid purple light.

“Teacher?”

“Are you alright?! I should have come sooner!”

Reginleif exclaimed, looking distressed as she examined the bloodied Elsie.

Despite summoning her Divine Armament from the very beginning, she had failed to capture the suspicious man.

And to top it off, she had been caught off guard by an unexpected counterattack.

‘I may have driven him away in the end, but this makes me unfit to be a teacher…’

Reginleif’s gaze turned to the massive black wolf bound tightly by chains.

“Fenrir of Vanaheim…!”

It was Reginleif’s first time seeing him in person as well.

‘How could that Jötunn, known to live quietly on the island of Lyngvi, be…’

As far as she knew, there was no one who could persuade Fenrir to leave the island of Lyngvi.

Power beyond imagination.

A vitality so tenacious it was appalling.

The Jötunn in the form of a wolf listened to no one.

That was what was known.

But the Fenrir before her was denying that information head-on.

She couldn’t fathom the identity of the man who could pull off something like this.

The awe-inspiring presence of the massive wolf exuded power.

Even in his wounded state, bound by the Chains of Restraint, Leyding, his spirit remained unbroken.

A tense Elsie swallowed hard.

She couldn’t be certain, but there was a high possibility that Reginleif’s chains wouldn’t be able to restrain Fenrir.

“Leyding can’t hold Fenrir!”

That’s why Elsie cried out in desperation.

But Reginleif simply smiled reassuringly in response.

“Elsie, don’t worry. The restraints of Leyding can’t be broken so easily—”

*Crack!*

“?”

*Snap!*

Chains of Restraint, Leyding.

The chains, which could be called Reginleif’s main combat armament, were destroyed so easily it was absurd.

Elsie’s warning had been right.

As the restrained Fenrir lightly raised a front paw, Leyding burst apart, unable to withstand his immense power.

*Shwa-shwa-shwa!*

The chains of Leyding tore apart and scattered in all directions.

The runes engraved on the chains lost their power and disappeared, turning into blue particles.

At that sight, Elsie’s conjecture turned into conviction.

‘It’s just like the game! Leyding can’t hold Fenrir! Which means…’

Fenrir, who had easily broken Leyding, roared.

Reginleif’s expression turned fierce at the unprecedented situation.

Unlike when her eyes were narrowed, her opened eyes exuded a different level of pressure.

Fenrir, sensitive to that energy, kicked off the ground and charged.

A destructive charge that made the ground explode.

The shocking acceleration of the massive beast was still unbelievable.

In the blink of an eye, the black wolf was right in front of them, baring his teeth.

“Teacher!”

Elsie was certain, based on the easily destroyed Leyding.

Most of Reginleif’s armaments would be ineffective against Fenrir.

Except for one thing.

But there was no time to tell her.

To respond to Fenrir’s attack, which was right in front of her, Reginleif reached out her arm.

**Armament Summon: Chains of Restraint, Dromi!**

*_Shwa-ra-ra-rack!_*

New chains streamed from Reginleif’s fingertips.

Thick, sturdy chains with amber runes flowing through them caught the charging Fenrir with tremendous force.

*Ping!*

The taut Dromi vibrated, emitting a clear, high-pitched sound.

And so, Fenrir was stopped, his entire body bound by Dromi, his jaws agape.

The frenzied black wolf rolled his burning eyes back and forth, growling.

*Shwa-shwa-shwa!*

Dromi dug into the ground, further constricting Fenrir.

Reginleif, who had been briefly embarrassed by how easily Leyding had been cut through like pasta, turned to Elsie and gave her a thumbs up.

“Elsie, you can rest easy now—”

“No!”

Elsie cried out urgently at the sight of her hopeless teacher, who was being so carefree with Fenrir bound right in front of her.

“Huh?!”

“Dromi won’t be able to restrain Fenrir either!”

Just like Leyding, Dromi would surely be ineffective against Fenrir.

Even in the game, Fenrir had easily escaped from Reginleif’s Leyding and Dromi.

And Fenrir here, who seemed even stronger than in the game, wouldn’t even need to think about it.

‘Then the result is obvious!’

*_Ti-dick-tick!_*

The vibrations of Dromi, which was holding Fenrir, gradually intensified, and the chains screamed as they reached their limit.

“Eh?!”

As Fenrir exerted his strength, Dromi began to break.

Elsie, gritting her teeth, immediately threw herself towards Reginleif.

The moment Elsie embraced the bewildered Reginleif and leaped away.

*_Pabababak—!!!_*

Dromi, which had been tightly binding Fenrir, exploded.

At the same time, a massive front paw with claws extended was swung.

*_Shwaak—!_*

It was a close call.

A sharp pain surged as her back was torn apart.

Elsie widened her eyes and bit her lip.

“Elsie!”

But her body, enhanced by Megingjörð, wouldn’t collapse from just this.

“Gungnir!”

Immediately after leaping, she grabbed Gungnir, which was capable of high-speed flight, and distanced herself from Fenrir.

Elsie shouted to Reginleif, whom she was still holding.

“You have to use Gleipnir! Gleipnir is the only thing that can restrain Fenrir!!”

Reginleif’s trump card.

The Chains of Restraint, Gleipnir, boasting absolute strength.

When that name came out of Elsie’s mouth, she asked in confusion.

“How do you know about Gleipnir…?”

“That’s not important right n—”

_Paang—!!!_

With the sound of air tearing, a massive shadow followed closely behind Elsie, who was flying.

[Kuaaaack!!!]

It was Fenrir, now spewing black smoke along with flames even from his wounds.

Then, his front paw was swung with a speed that couldn’t be compared to before.

‘It’s too late to block! But I can’t evade while holding Teacher!’

The thick claws were about to pierce Elsie when,

Reginleif threw herself forward.

**Fwoosh!**

Red blood splattered.

Elsie, her eyes wide, looked at Reginleif.

A large claw of Fenrir, cleanly severed in front of her, was flying away.

“What?!”

The blood that splattered was Fenrir’s.

The moment Reginleif threw herself to protect Elsie,

Something that had quickly soared from the ground had cut off Fenrir’s claw and ascended.

“Notung!”

At the same time as Han Doyun’s shout, sword strikes that tore through the air poured down from the sky.

“Han Doyun?!”

It was the moment when Doyun, who had cut off Fenrir’s claw and ascended, was launching an additional attack.

*Shwaak! Shwaak!*

Fenrir, repeatedly slashed by Notung’s sword strikes, fell downwards.

But Han Doyun wasn’t the only one who had leaped from the ground to the sky.

*_Paji-jik!_*

Someone clad in blue lightning soared towards the falling Fenrir.

**Járngreipr: Thunderstorm!**

The power of lightning condensed in his fist was slammed into Fenrir’s body at high speed.

*_Kwaaaa—!_*

A blue flash burst, and lightning spewed in all directions along with the explosion.

Fenrir, caught in the explosion of lightning, rose into the sky, emitting smoke.

Elsie, clinging to Gungnir while holding Reginleif, looked down at the direction where the lightning explosion had occurred.

Flowing long pink hair,

Sharply shining golden eyes.

Thrud, who had casually tied up her torn school uniform, revealing her stomach, was there.

“T, Thrud?”

Elsie’s eyes widened.

“Elsie, let’s get down first!”

Reginleif, who had extended her chains and caught the falling Doyun, shouted.

Elsie, quickly maneuvering Gungnir, landed and immediately ran towards her.

Thrud was safe. Relief washed over her at that fact, and Elsie felt all her strength drain away.

Contrary to Elsie’s thoughts, everyone’s expressions hardened at the sight of her bleeding profusely from her waist and back.

But Elsie didn’t care about her own injuries.

“Thrud! Your body? Is your body okay? T, the wounds…”

Thrud, whose upper body had been torn by Fenrir’s claws.

Elsie, who was trying to check her condition, flinched and averted her gaze at the white skin revealed by her torn clothes.

The clothes she had casually tied up were soaked in blood, but her body was smooth as if nothing had happened.

“The wounds… they’re gone?”

“You idiot! What do you think I am? I’ll be fine with a little healing magic!”

“What kind of recovery power is that…”

Elsie felt embarrassed for having worried about Thrud so much that she had been consumed by anxiety.

The overly energetic Thrud scolded Elsie instead.

Choosing to face Fenrir alone to draw attention was reckless, too reckless.

The result was this terrible.

The bloodied Elsie looked more serious than Thrud in every way.

But the situation wasn’t so relaxed.

A massive booming sound began to echo from above.

It was like the sound of drums, or the beating of a heart.

*Thoom—!*

Doyun looked up at the sky and shouted.

“F, Fenrir is!”

Fenrir, struck by Thrud’s attack, was falling from high in the sky.

*Thoom—!*

Flames blazed from his eyes and nostrils, and he was even larger than before.

“He got bigger?!”

“Gigantification?”

Elsie and Thrud murmured blankly.

It was a sight that only inspired worry about whether they could even defeat him.

That’s why Reginleif’s power was needed.

“Teacher! Prepare Gleipnir!”

At Elsie’s cry, Reginleif nodded.

“But Elsie, even if I use Gleipnir, I honestly don’t have confidence…”

Reginleif, whose two main armaments had been destroyed in succession, seemed a little dejected.

She seemed to have lost confidence in the fact that she, as a teacher, had not been able to properly protect her students.

But that was due to the special nature of Fenrir and Reginleif’s abilities.

Her ability is very threatening and powerful.

If the opponent isn’t Fenrir.

Reginleif may not know it, but Leyding and Dromi were destined to be destroyed by Fenrir.

‘The compatibility of Fenrir and Reginleif’s abilities, based on mythology. It’s being applied here just like in the game. If that’s the case…’

“I can guarantee it! Fenrir can never break Gleipnir!”

But if he continued to grow like that, it was also true that it would be difficult to quickly bind him with Gleipnir.

“Using such a weird ability to tire people out!”

They had to quickly bring him down to the ground before he got any bigger.

Elsie, determined, grabbed Gungnir.

“I’m going to slam that son of a bitch into the ground before he gets any bigger. Use Gleipnir right away then.”

It was something only Elsie could do, as she could use Gungnir for pseudo-flight, even for a short time.

She was already battered and bruised, and pushing herself any further was dangerous.

However, despite the opposition around her, Elsie fired Gungnir and soared into the air.

Fenrir, who was gigantifying as he fell, followed Elsie with his gaze, but that was all he could do.

There was very little he could do in the air.

“Good thing the target is getting bigger on its own, huh?”

Elsie, who had risen to a position overlooking Fenrir, aimed Gungnir and fell.

“Fire!”

*Thwoom!*

Gungnir’s own acceleration increased the speed of her fall.

The surrounding scenery began to stretch.

[Groaaaa!]

“Speak properly, you son of a bitch!”

Fenrir, somehow twisting his body in the air to look at Elsie, looked for a chance to counterattack.

Whether he bit, or swung his claws, he was ready to attack her by any means.

Elsie smiled at his persistent fighting spirit, determined to fight to the end.

“Super-vibrating shockwave!”

She accelerated once more with the shockwave that erupted from the spear’s muzzle.

Thus, Elsie, becoming a golden meteor, deployed her technique as she fell vertically.

Special move for decisive battles,

**“Blóðörn!”**

*Chwaaa!*

Blood burst from the wound on her back, inflicted by Fenrir.

Along with the reddish-gold particles that were emitted at the same time as the technique was deployed, it spread out like a pair of red wings.

Accelerating again and again. So that she could knock that giant being to the ground in an instant.

A streak of light that had turned red collided with Fenrir, who had become twice as large.

The giant wolf, engulfed in a reddish-gold flash, turned into a falling star and crashed to the ground.

A large crater was created, completely changing the terrain at the point of impact.

Blóðörn, activated with Gungnir, ignores the target’s defense and inflicts damage that destroys the inside.

Blood gushed out from both sides of Fenrir, who was embedded in the ground, soaking the floor.

It was like a wolf with red wings.

Her vision blurred.

Elsie quickly released Gungnir and Megingjörð and jumped off Fenrir’s massive body.

“There was a reason why I didn’t die and stayed alive until Ragnarok.”

It was as if she was an existence that would never fall until the time of fate came and she had fulfilled his role.

“Now!”

Elsie shouted as she rolled across the floor and collapsed miserably.

In response to Elsie’s signal, Reginleif’s eyes, emitting a purple light, turned to Fenrir.

**Divine Artifact Summon: Gleipnir!**

*Charrrrr!*

Chains with flowing purplish-blue runes rose from where Reginleif’s gaze reached.

The chains were said to be as light as silk and never break.

It was the moment when Fenrir, whose front and back legs and torso were tightly bound by Gleipnir, was finally subdued.

In the original story, it was a treasure created from six impossible contradictions, used solely to restrain Fenrir.

Elsie felt a sense of awe as she witnessed it restraining Fenrir, as if she were witnessing a scene from mythology.

All of this,

It was a moment that felt like fate.
