Episode 183 Midterm Random Defense (5)
Student Council President Dolores.
She was watching with a happy expression as the first year juniors in the same club set a new grade record.
However, as time passed, Dolores’ expression hardened.
“……Why doesn’t the exam end?”
She wasn’t the only one who reacted this way.
All the spectators, students, and even professors who were watching the test were stunned.
“Is this something strange?”
“They all have 0 HP, so why doesn’t the test end?”
“They’re first graders! Who made the second phase go ahead!”
The one in charge of the phase is a magic tool that transmits mana, and is in the form of a crystal that emits blue light.
Those in charge of it were looking at the instrument panel with teary-skinned expressions.
“It seems that there was an error because there was a strong life reaction left outside the students registered in the exam hall!”
“What? What are you talking about! There are only four kids on the pitch!”
The professors reacted with absurdity.
Originally, four human lives remained in the arena, which was replaced with points due to the HP suit.
Now that it has reached 0, it is normal that there should be no more life reactions on the arena.
However, it was clearly indicated on the instrument panel that there was one ‘existence full of vitality’ capable of fighting.
The professors looked over the arena through the magic wall, but there were no living creatures besides the students.
“Anyway, it seems that the error was caused by a conflict between the life response check magic and the phase management magic.”
“Oh, that’s a big deal. Why did this error occur? There are obviously only four first-year students on the field… Hey, that’s not important right now! Stop the collision quickly!”
“Strictly speaking, we are the phase magic management department… the life response check magic department is not under our jurisdiction…” ”
What is his jurisdiction! Wouldn’t it be quicker to stop?”
“That… From this year, the creation and movement of golems have been automated… The magic circle code related to this is also linked to the mana stone, but to dismantle it, the life reaction check magic and the phase management magic must be dispelled first. You should.”
“What? Are you kidding me? The code for the magic circle needed for the test was so poorly written! Then what are you talking about! Tell me how!”
“There is a bar method, of course! The code for the magic wall blocking the arena is written separately, so all you have to do is turn it off for a while and let the students come out.”
“Then release the magic wall!”
“But the magic wall is not under our jurisdiction? If we touch it blindly, the responsibility may become complicated later…” ‘
Jurisdiction’ and ‘responsibility’ are indeed magical words, so no matter how normal and common sense a person is Even so, it hardens the brain.
Even more so in times of crisis.
In a way, the inertia of management was overlapping with minor problems that were not a big deal, and the work was growing.
But there are still ways to fix it.
All you have to do is release the transparent magic dome that surrounds the arena and let the students trapped inside come out.
The professor in charge gave instructions with a bubbling expression.
“Then quickly dismantle the magic wall. So that the students inside can come out.”
“It’s also not under our jurisdiction… so let’s find the practitioner who has the magic wall key.”
Department head-level professors are busy.
Before long, a professor with the magic wall key appeared.
He was Professor Morgue Banshee, a promising candidate for the next vice principal.
Professor Banshee was overseeing the exams in another gymnasium, and rushed to the news of a series of events in Tudor’s group.
“Magic wall key? I have one, but…”
What Professor Banshee took out with a puzzled expression was the key that had the spell to dismantle the magic wall written on it.
On the key, you can see the letter A written in large letters.
“It is impossible to dismantle the Magic Wall with just one key. Key A is useless without Key B.”
The key is divided into two for security.
At Professor Banshee’s words, all the professors started looking for the B key.
And here another incident occurred.
“Professor Sadie, who has the B key, has left the workplace without permission!”
“What!? Shit, that troublemaker again!? It’s been days since you were disciplined for negligence… where the hell did you go!?”
“He said he was going to the bathroom and lost contact.”
“Damn it! This stupid woman…!?”
While the professors are wasting their time here and there like this.
1. Don Quixote La Mancha Tudor
HP: 0/100
2. Sancho Panzer Barataria
HP: 0/100
3. Usher Poe Bianca
HP: 0/100
4. Piggy
HP: 0/100
Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca is exhausted from ants were dealing with
“Damn it! Now the HP suit is broken too!”
“You’d better take them off. These uncomfortable tights.”
“The physical damage you receive from now on will come as a real shock! Be careful, everyone!”
“Kyaaaagh! What the hell! Why can’t I unlock the fantasy dungeon, golem creation, or magic wall!?”
Their HP had already reached 0 in the evening before, so they had to fight the monsters with their own bodies.
The ants were still flocking in waves.
Like the defense-type structure, monsters are created indefinitely.
Furthermore, Phase 2 was only for 2nd graders, so it wasn’t just regular ants.
[Oh-oh-oh-oh!]
The gigantic ant rose from among the piles of eggs.
It had a lot of thorns on its broad, hard head like a shield, and its body was several times larger than other ants.
“…It’s a soldier ant!”
Piggie exclaimed in horror.
If such things are mixed among common ants, the answer is no.
“Damn it! We have to stop it!”
“I’ll try!”
Tudor and Sancho tried to fight as hard as they could, but Manaro, who was already showing the floor, could not emit an aura.
The soldier ant rushed forward, pushing the ground with its head like a shield, and blew away Tudor and Sancho.
…kwak! Woo support!
Tudor’s supply spear and Sancho’s supply ax are smashed and scattered.
And soon after, the soldier ants started pushing their heads.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwak!
The feeling of being crushed by countless shield soldiers Sancho and Tudor Piggy Bianca were crushed by the swarm of ants.
“Keah! It’s heavy!”
“Keuugh! Keep flocking!”
“…… I think I’m going to die!”
“Ahh! What are the professors doing!?”
Everyone was groaning in pain.
It was a very serious situation, but it was an accident that happened so suddenly that the professors have yet to find a way to respond.
“Now that this has happened, we must destroy the magic stone!”
“Who’s going to break it! The responsibilities of at least four departments are mixed in this magic stone!”
“Everyone knows that the magic stone is an extremely rare and expensive ancient opart, right? Yes, a certain department head will be in charge! Let’s make that clear first!”
“Golem creation department? Biological response detection department? Phase management department? Magic wall maintenance department? Who the hell is in charge! Let’s clarify who is responsible first!”
The circumstances of adults are intertwined.
“The Golem department made a mistake in adding the automation magic circle to the original golem creation magic circle, so let’s destroy the mana stone and take responsibility from that department!”
“Why is that on our side! The Biological Response Detection Department did the wrong thing in the first place! You have to break the mana stone there!”
“What are you talking about! If only the phase hadn’t passed, this wouldn’t have happened! Who did more wrong and who did less!”
“Professor Sadie still can’t reach me! What are you going to do with the magic wall!?”
“Didn’t everyone hear the rumor!? Rumor has it that among the first year new students there is an imperial family member who came in hiding his identity! If this is known even to the imperial family, we will all be ashamed!”
While children are dying, adults do nothing to take care of their own comfort and gains and losses.
Dolores, who ran to the university worried about her juniors, became disillusioned with the professors’ behavior.
‘Guys, hold on a little longer… just a little longer!’
Dolores took up the knife herself.
Chanang!
She pulled the sword from the waist of the professor next to her and ran straight to the magic stone.
The professors exclaim in astonishment.
“Student President! What is this?!”
“Are you crazy!? Stop it now!”
“If you destroy it, it won’t end with expulsion! Demand compensation directly from Quo Vadis…!”
But no threats or intimidation could stop Dolores.
“Yeahap!”
She swung her sword at the magic stone.
This moment when the lives of juniors are at stake.
The fact that the magic stone was the academy’s treasure No. 1 bestowed by the imperial family, that it was a national treasure whose value was difficult to estimate, and even that the expulsion that would come upon him for destroying it were not important.
Dolores stabbed her with a single thought of saving her juniors.
……No, I tried to stab him.
Pupperpuppung!
If it hadn’t been for the explosions that occurred in succession in the arena beyond the magic wall.
“!?”
Dolores raised her head hurriedly.
The other professors who ran to stop her also look at the stadium with surprised expressions.
The magic wall that prevents outsiders from entering and insiders from going out is still intact.
But there was a face that I hadn’t seen before.
A man fighting ants while standing in the way of the exhausted Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca.
“……Stay away.”
It was Bikir.
