Volume 6 Chapter 10 Goddess Holy Church Seven Heaven Apostles' Order Of Love' Rapucel Dreadnought ④ - Rampage
Soara was walking alone in the school hallway.
She was wearing her combat uniform, walking with steady steps.
The reason she was in her combat uniform so early in the morning was simple. Last night, the hem of her uniform had come undone, and after fixing it herself, she put it on to check and ended up falling asleep in it.
When she woke up and left her room, for some reason, she found herself in the school hallway.
"...I'm hungry."
Somehow... she realized this was an unusual situation.
This was because Soara was dragging a 'Knight' doll in her hand.
The suddenly appeared 'Blue Knight' attacked Soara without warning.
So, she jumped at the doll, biting off its helmet with her strong jaws and chewing... then stabbed it with her claws that stretched out from both hands. It seemed like the doll wasn't completely destroyed yet, as it was flailing around.
"It's not tasty, but... I'll eat it."
Fangs grew, and a symbol appeared on her tongue.
With only 7 confirmed in the world, and fewer than 20 people having the special skill 'Gluttony,' she could eat things that weren't food and digest them.
The sound of her eating the Knight echoed: crunch, crunch, gulp...
And before she had even eaten half, the Knight turned into particles and disappeared.
"Ah... what a waste."
"What are you doing?"
"?"
When Soara turned around, Yato was there.
They had introduced themselves since they were in the same dorm, but they were still just acquaintances.
Soara stood up and tilted her head.
"I don't know. I came out of my room and ended up in this hallway."
"I see... it seems like an unusual situation is happening."
"Is that so? Then let's go together."
"...Okay."
Yato accepted without hesitation.
And then, she drew the Sixfold Demon Sword───... and said quietly.
"Peeking is a bad hobby, you know."
"Ah~... hehehe, you caught me."
The one who stepped out from the shadow of the pillar in the hallway was a gloomy-looking boy.
Wearing the robe of the Goddess Holy Church, he grinned while mumbling. It sounded like he was chewing gum, making a gross noise.
He was Miguel, the captain of the 'Order of Love' unit from the Goddess Holy Church.
When Miguel snapped his fingers, boys and girls in the same robe appeared all at once from the door connecting the hallway to the classroom.
"...You guys are the new students this year."
"Correct. Hehehe, traitors who joined the Goddess Holy Church! Right?"
"Hmph... it seems useless to talk to someone who's been brainwashed. Well... I can just cut you down."
"You're naive. I haven't been brainwashed. I thought joining the Goddess Holy Church would be more interesting than this boring school life. There are many like me who joined with their own will, you know?"
"Did you know? People who are brainwashed often don't realize they're brainwashed."
Yato readied the Sixfold Demon Sword.
Miguel's subordinates also drew their weapons.
"This is a Trial. Only those who overcome the Trial can take Lady Rapucel's final Trial."
"Huh?"
"Our role as apostles of the Goddess Holy Church is to select."
"...I'm hungry."
"Now, let's play───... go!"
The apostles of the Goddess Holy Church attacked Soara and Yato.

By chance, he was able to enter the school's weapon storage.
There were spare anti-cut coats, twin swords, and a belt for the sheath. Elwood put them on.
Since it was an emergency, borrowing them shouldn't be a problem.
Equipped, Elwood took a deep breath... re-focused, and stepped out of the weapon storage.
As expected, the door led to another room.
"Training ground... Damn, is this the 6th training ground?"
The school has more than 20 training grounds.
With this much space, that (bronze soldier) might show up again.
Instead of going back through the same door, there might be a chance to get outside if he opens a door to another room. Elwood thought this and headed toward the door on the opposite side of his position as he stepped into the training ground.
But───... that door on the opposite side opened, and someone came in.
Seeing that person, Elwood stopped.
"...Rosho"
"Hey, Elwood."
Wearing the robe of the Goddess Holy Church, with his beloved sword at his waist.
He could tell from the atmosphere. This was the Rosho that Elwood knew.
"...You're alive, huh?"
"Yeah. Just like this."
"..."
Elwood understood.
But───... he was scared to say it out loud.
As if he knew that, Rosho spoke.
"Elwood, why don't you come over here?"
"...Huh?"
"Royalty, the next successor. You said it was suffocating, right? You wanted to become a commoner and live as an adventurer, didn't you? With the Goddess Holy Church, you can do that!"
"......Rosho."
"Come on. If it's you, you'll be welcomed as a 'holy apostle' of the Goddess Holy Church. Let's do this together again. Plus, Sarissa is here too."
"Rosho!!"
Elwood shouted.
Then, he gritted his teeth and said with effort,
"Did you really go to the Goddess Holy Church, throwing everything away!? The Goddess Holy Church is already recognized as an 'S-class dangerous organization'!! This act is pure terrorism!! You... you're a terrorist!?"
"Yeah... I knew it."
"If Duke Kinesis found out, he would be so sad... Duke has sent you letters many times because he's worried about you..."
"Well, unlike you... I 'threw it all away.' This new environment isn't so bad, you know?"
"Rosho... even Elk is worried about you."
"Don't you dare mention that name!!!!"
Rosho suddenly got angry.
"Elk? Ha... Elwood, don't you know? I tried to kill my brother! With my own will!! As the next heir of the Duke Kinesis family, his existence was in my way."
"W-What are you...?"
"But it's fine now. I'll give up the Duke Kinesis family's legacy. I will live as a member of the Goddess Holy Church. Ha, hahahaha!! Hahahaha!!"
"......"
"Elwood. This is the last time... come with me."
"What if I don't go?"
"I'll drag you there, whether you like it or not. Your strength could be useful for taking down my brother."
"......"
Rosho looked down───... slowly, he raised his face.
His eyes were speaking.
"Sorry, Rosho. But... you're stopping here."
"Ha... that's too bad."
Rosho touched the sword at his waist──and almost at the same time, he jumped out.

Elk was running down the school hallway with Kaya.
"Hey, don't you think it's strange?"
"Huh?"
"There's no one around."
Elk and Kaya stopped.
Kaya continued.
"The sun is already up. Many people should have eaten breakfast and gone to school. Yet... we haven't seen anyone. This school is so big, right? There are thousands of students, including second and third years."
"That's true... the only ones I've seen are the principal, Yato, and you. Oh, by the way, I think the principal mentioned that there are no third years."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"I agree. We need to hurry and find the guy who made this dungeon."
The two started walking down the hallway again──but then...
"──Huh?"
The door to the corridor next to Kaya opened.
It was an empty classroom. From there, a girl grabbed Kaya's hand.
"Hehe."
"Ah!?"
Kaya was pulled in and disappeared into the empty classroom.
"Kaya!!"
Elk shouted, but it was too late.
Kaya was dragged into the classroom, and the door closed behind her.
Then, Sylphid shouted in his ear.
"Elk, in front!!"
"Huh!?"
"Too slow."
A boy with clenched fists stood right in front of him.
Elk quickly used Telekinesis to blow the boy away.
The boy rolled on the ground but quickly got back up.
He took a fighting stance.
"What are you... from the Goddess Holy Church?"
"That question doesn't matter. You're a traitor, aren't you?"
"......"
Elk didn't answer.
Instead, he put on an eye mask and pulled up his hood.
Boy... no, the holy apostle Kaim of the Goddess Holy Church smirks.
"I won't hold back───... Skill Domain Expansion, 'Bear Knuckle'."
A space created by skills appeared around Kaim.
In an instant, the distance between them shrank, and Kaim was right in front of him.
"This is a space-type skill. Hehe... Thanks to Lady Piasola, I leveled up to create space by the age of 15! A simple strength enhancement skill evolved into a master skill. I'll let you be my test subject."
"......"
"The ability of 'Bear Knuckle' is to punch each other once, and the last one standing wins. What do you think happens to the loser? ...Hehe, you won't die, but your strength will drop to baby level temporarily."
"......"
"Come on, hit me first!!"
"......Alright, I won't hold back."
In the next moment, Kaim was hit by a punch enhanced with Telekinesis and was sent flying at hundreds of kilometers per hour.
His face caved in, his nose was broken, his cheekbones and jaw shattered, and most of his teeth were knocked out, leaving his mouth a mess.
He was punched, causing full-body convulsions, fainting, and even wetting himself. He couldn't even scream as he lost.
Elk ignored Kaim and touched the door where Kaya had disappeared.
"Damn... Kaya."
"What should we do, Elk..."
"......I'm starting to get really frustrated."
Elk felt a bit of regret.
When he entered Poseidon's room, he should have asked for 'forgiveness.'
But───... he thought it was too late to worry about it now.
"I'll apologize a lot later..."
"Elk?"
At that moment, Kaim's subordinates burst out of the empty classroom all at once.
"C-Captain Kaim!!"
"Damn, it's him!!" "Everyone, let's go!!" "Yeah!!"
Everyone is fired up.
But Elk spreads his arms and activates Telekinesis───... The walls on both sides of the hallway crumble, crushing Kaim's subordinates who were standing in the corridor like a sandwich.
In an instant, more than 20 students are crushed.
Elk apologizes to Poseidon.
"I'm sorry. Just a little... I'm going to wreck the academy."
Elk's Telekinesis release rate is currently 33%.
