Chapter 73 Each battlefield (2)
4.
Meanwhile, at that time.
The start of school was postponed, causing an incident that suddenly turned the once peaceful Arsene Academy upside down.
“A state of emergency has been declared on campus!”
“Everyone go to the shelter, hurry!”
Sudden declaration of a state of emergency.
Furthermore, as an emergency evacuation order was issued, professors were busy leading students on campus to evacuation shelters from early morning.
“Gyo, professor. “What the hell is going on?”
“Why is there a sudden evacuation order…?”
The students reacted with quite a bit of confusion, but there was no major confusion. This was partly because the number of students on campus was small to begin with, and most importantly, it was thanks to the professors’ calm guidance in evacuating.
“Okay. “It’s not a big deal.”
“A report has come in that needs attention.”
“There are no clearly identified threats yet, so don’t worry and stay in the shelter. “We’ll take care of everything else.”
Professors calmly comforting students.
Afterwards, professors again focused on inducing evacuation. And among them was Professor Stella, who taught survival lectures for first-year students last year.
“Whoa, what on earth is going on?”
Earlier, she tried to speak calmly in front of the students, but Stella was equally confused by the current situation.
She sighed and remembered the urgent news that had been delivered to the professors this morning. It was about an incident in which a state of emergency was declared and an evacuation order was issued.
The incident began with a report from the special task force.
The special task force managing the Fountain of Magic announced this morning that three agents in charge of security had gone missing last night.
And that wasn’t the only problem.
It was reported that the gatekeepers and magic golems that guard each area of the spring had all become inoperative. And based on this situation, the special task force soon reached a conclusion.
‘Someone has broken into the fountain of magic.’
This was by no means unusual.
The fountain of magic is an extremely dangerous demon realm.
I didn’t know what the intruder’s purpose was, but I couldn’t leave it alone.
Therefore, the Academy’s General Affairs Department urgently dispatched a joint investigation team to find the intruders heading into the Fountain of Magic.
But I couldn’t. Just as I was about to pass through Area 2 of the Fountain of Magic and head towards Area 3, an unexpected enemy appeared from even deeper than that.
‘Unidentified monster.’
Each one of them is a monster so powerful that it rivals 7-star or higher magical beasts. Moreover, according to what I heard, the number is too numerous to count.
Currently, the special forces and security forces are working together to block it, but it is unknown when the defense line will be breached.
So an evacuation order was issued. As I was sighing repeatedly, a welcome voice suddenly knocked on my ear.
“Ugh, what’s the fuss about?”
“Ah, senior!”
Ethan Arnoff.
Like Stella, he is a professor in the Department of Military Studies, a sergeant during his military service, and an expert-level knight.
Is it because a dependable being appears?
Stella’s complexion brightened slightly. On the other hand, Ethan frowned and asked back.
“I was contacted urgently to return, so I came, but what happened?”
“I just came here and don’t know the details, but they say monsters are pouring out of the fountain of magic.”
“what? “Who said that?”
“In the special task force. “They say the three agents who were watching security also went missing.”
Ethan’s face hardened at the words he returned.
As if I had finally realized that the current situation was not unusual. Then I heard a sound that made the situation even more serious.
“everyone! Please hurry up and lead an evacuation!”
“The defense line is being pushed back!”
The special task force agents came running in a hurry.
The professors’ complexions also turned pale as they heard the urgent news.
“W-what? already?”
“Are there no reinforcements?”
“The academy’s security forces have already stepped in to help! However, as of now, it is not enough.”
The only troops that can be called troops at Arsene Academy are the Inspector General of the Military Department, the Special Task Force of the Department of Magic, and the security forces in charge of security at the academy itself.
Therefore, the only thing you can do against hundreds of monsters is to maintain a defensive line. More reinforcements were needed for subjugation.
Then.
“Ah, Professor Arnov!”
There was a person who caught the attention of the special task force agents late. It’s Ethan Arnoff. The agents immediately approached and spoke to him.
“Do you know where Professor Gorpant of the Military Studies Department is?”
“With Professor Gorpant’s help, subjugation will definitely be possible!”
Seorik al-Ghorfant.
With the help of the Empire’s Master and Professor Emeritus of the Department of Military Studies, not only will it be easy to maintain the defense line, but also to deal with the monsters.
So I asked Ethan, who was close to Seorik, a question, but the answer I got was the exact opposite of what I expected.
“It’s unfortunate, but Your Excellency is taking care of business separately by royal order. “It’s hard to expect support.”
In response to the negative response, the agents’ complexions darkened again. That probably means that the situation is not good. Meanwhile, an agent expressed his opinion in a cautious tone.
“Well, I wonder if I could get help from an undergraduate student…”
“It’s not as good as that.”
“Absolutely not!”
As soon as the idea of borrowing the students’ power came up, Ethan and Stella looked down.

“B-but if this continues, the entire academy will be exposed to monster invasion!”
“But that doesn’t work. It would be better to convene the remaining professors on campus. “You can’t see students going into battle.”
Ethan shook his head resolutely.
What if someone gets hurt while receiving support from students? Worst case, what if there are deaths?
Then you have no right to raise your head as a teacher.
It will probably be a feeling of guilt that will weigh heavily on you for the rest of your life. That is why Ethan and Stella desperately opposed the mobilization of students.
‘Oh, of course there are exceptions.’
Then, suddenly, a person crossed Stella’s mind. Although he is a student, he possesses monstrous strength that easily surpasses professors.
An extra-standard monster that broke all of the academy’s battle records over the past year.
‘······Ulaanbaatar.’
If Ulan, who had proven himself to have reached the level of a master, helped him, he would definitely become a force comparable to Seorik.
But Stella shook her head.
No matter how strong Ulan is, he is still a student. Since he is in a position to be protected, it is right to evacuate him like other students.
The moment I was shaking off all my distracting thoughts.
“uh? “Huh?”
“Who are they? “They look like students?”
Suddenly, several professors raised their voices as if they had discovered an unusual scene.
When I reflexively turned my gaze, I saw a group of people who seemed to be students heading in the exact opposite direction to the shelter.
It is none other than the direction where the fountain of magic is located.
Ethan and Stella realized this and quickly moved to block their path.
“Hey, you guys!”
“Where are you going now…”
But he soon closed his mouth.
It had to be that way. Among the students who appeared before my eyes, there was a monster that went beyond the standards I had just imagined.
Ulan Bator. In addition, Delia Arpen is renowned as a magic genius. Meanwhile, Ulan stared at Ethan and Stella who were blocking their path, and then he spoke straight away.
“Get out of the way. “I have a place to go.”
“Are you really planning to go to the Fountain of Magic?”
“exactly.”
An immediate answer without any hesitation.
Stella shook her head.
“no! It’s full of monsters now. “Just quietly go to the shelter like other students.”
“Don’t you need help?”
“Well, that is…”
need. Very desperately.
However, as I said before, I cannot borrow help from students. So when she was about to restrain herself again, she heard her voice helping her.
“Follow Professor Stella’s instructions.”
“Seniors!”
“No matter how strong you are, you are still students. “We have a duty to be protected.”
Ethan speaks in a rather solemn tone.
However, the response from Ulan and his party was lukewarm. In the first place, his gaze wasn’t even directed at Ethan.
“You guys are listening to me right now…”
Ethan, who belatedly realized this fact, frowned and asked back. But what came back was an incomprehensible answer.
“······come.”
“what?”
A Myoin boy wearing a hood.
As soon as he, who was looking in the direction of the fountain of magic, began to briefly recite, a loud roar accompanied by strong vibrations hit the hall.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ground shook and dust rose up.
After a while, a group covered in blood and dust appeared from the direction of the fountain of magic.
“Damn it, our defenses have been breached!”
“Don’t retreat, stay where you are! “Not all students have been evacuated yet!”
It was none other than the special task force and security forces.
The fact that they, who were guarding the defense line, appeared here means only one thing.
This means that the monsters could not be stopped.
[Grrrrrr!]
The roar of monsters echoing through the battlefield.
Looking at its bizarre appearance, it was clear that it was a monster of the abyss. As Ulan narrowed her eyes, repeated urgent cries were heard.
It was Stella’s voice.
“There is no time for this! “It’s not too late, so go to the shelter quickly!”
Then, she ran towards the front lines with her bow drawn, as if she was already ready for battle.
No, I tried to do that. But then, someone grabbed her arm.
“Bow down.”
Delia Arpen.
She had just finished chanting her magic and whispered dryly, pointing to the sky.
“Soon, the stars will fall.”
A star is falling? What are you talking about?
Stella looked at Delia for a moment, as if she didn’t understand. Meanwhile, Ulan and the others immediately understood what Delia meant.
“Everyone get behind me!”
“Holy Ghost. Please protect your servant.”
Ian and Laurea hitting the ground.
The two went far ahead of the special task force agents and recited a sacred prayer in unison.
Some time after that.
thud! Thump thump thump! Coooooo!
The sacred shield wrapped in pure white light surrounded the surrounding area in layers as if protecting the allies. At the same time, light arrived in a sky full of dark clouds.
─────!
The sky is brightening rapidly.
Soon, countless star fragments began to fall to the ground from beyond the wave of light.
A rain of starlight pouring down like rain.
It was a 7-star strategic magic, a meteor shower.
Quagga gaga! bang! Quaaaang!
A bombardment of stars hitting monsters with the force of destroying the world.
It is a magic so powerful that even the subordinates of the past swamp ruler were blown away at once. There was no way a single monster of the abyss could handle it.
And it wasn’t just Ethan and Stella who were surprised by this sight.
“Meteor shower?!”
“Who on earth uses such high-level magic…!”
Agents of the special task force, a military group made up of wizards, also shouted with shocked faces.
Then, after confirming the existence of Delia Arpen, the source of the magic power, he closed his mouth. Some time after the bombing ended.
Sven perked up his ears.
“There are some who survived in the meantime.”
Perhaps they were lucky enough to avoid the meteor shower’s bombardment range. Meanwhile, Ian and Ibella immediately drew their swords at Sven’s muttering.
“If there are any leftovers, please leave them to us.”
“We’ll take care of it and come back.”
Ian and Ibella kicked the ground without even thinking about who was first. Stella, who belatedly realized that the two were participating in the war, tried to shout that it was dangerous, but soon had no choice but to close her mouth.
“······!”
This was because the two of them quickly went out of sight and arrived on the battlefield. This scene means only one thing.
“W-Master’s domain?!”
This means expanding the area and narrowing the gap.
At this, Stella made a blank expression as if she did not understand the situation itself. Ethan muttered too with a confused look on her face.
“What on earth is this…?”
“A lot happened during vacation.”
It was Noah who answered Ethan’s question.
Actually, I’ve been through a lot.
I learned the hidden story about Kazan Rudrik, all the warriors passed the test, and even Largtan, the second-highest ranking monarch, was defeated.
As I was finishing the brief flashback, Ian and Ibella returned from the battle. Noah looked back at Sven and asked.
“Sven, how many enemies do you have left?”
“There aren’t any anymore. “It’s neat.”
“Well, okay. Then let’s move again.”
As a result, the academy’s professors and students will not suffer any harm. Ulan and his party walked towards the fountain of magic again.
Then.
“No, Ulan!”
Stella’s cry was heard again.
She tried to talk to Ulan again to dissuade him from doing so. But this time, Ulan looked at her first and opened her mouth.
“This is something only we can do.”
“What, what?”
“So don’t worry. “Just as you doing the right thing by evacuating the students, we are just doing what we need to do.”
Confronting the abyss is your mission as a warrior.
In other words, the people at the academy, including Stella and Ethan, were merely caught up in the mission of Ulan and his party.
So it was right to do this.
After answering, Ulan turned around, followed by Ibella and Noah’s words.
“Yes, Ulan is right.”
“So don’t worry about us, just take care of the other students!”
After answering as they pleased, Ulan and his party disappeared into the fountain of magic without anyone having time to stop them.
At the time I was looking at this blankly.
The remaining special task force agents spoke cautiously.
“Well, what should I do now?”
“······The priority is to evacuate every single student on campus.”
Although we stopped the monsters right away, no one knows when more monsters will come pouring in.
Therefore, Stella decided that the state of emergency and evacuation order must be maintained for now.
“And once everyone is evacuated…”
“I’m going to go help those idiots.”
At that time, Ethan suddenly intervened.
Ethan clenched his fists as he looked in the direction where Ulan and his group had disappeared. It was with a prayer that nothing would happen.
