Volume 6 Chapter 8 Goddess Holy Church Seven Heaven Apostles' Order Of Love' Rapucel Dreadnought ② - School Dungeon
"What's going on...!?"
Elwood was completely caught off guard.
Because he was royalty, he had special privileges. He woke up in a private royal dormitory room that had been used by past royals. After washing his face, changing into his uniform, and opening the door to head to the dining room for breakfast, he was shocked to find not the familiar hallway... but an empty classroom in the school building.
Confused, he stepped into the empty classroom, and the door closed behind him. Suddenly, a 'bronze soldier' appeared.
The soldier was holding a bronze sword.
"You guys, what the──..."
As soon as he spoke, Elwood was attacked.
He dodged the slash, feeling cold sweat run down his back... it was a serious attack meant to kill.
He put his hand on his waist and clicked his tongue.
Right now, Elwood was unarmed. He had just woken up, washed his face, and put on his uniform. He wasn't ready for a fight, and his 'weapon box' and 'item box' were on the desk.
Unlike Yato, who never took off her gear even in the 'safe school,' not many people were like that.
"There are 7 of them, and I have no weapons... this is not a problem!!"
Elwood activated his skill 'Godspeed.'
He could probably take them down with a punch. But, Elwood's fist would break.
So──Elwood grabbed a chair from the classroom and smashed it over the soldier's head.
The chair shattered. And the soldier's head crumpled.
The soldier turned into particles and disappeared.
"Soldiers made from skills... then, I won't hold back!!"
Even without weapons, Elwood was strong.

"Hey, hey, what the heck is going on?"
"I don't know."
Fine and Gambo were facing the Bronze Soldier in the dormitory living room.
The Bronze Soldier appeared out of nowhere. They had no idea what was going on...
"Both of you, step back."
"Miss Sophia... what's happening?"
"I'm not sure. But it seems like that thing is an enemy..."
Sophia picked up a book she had been reading.
Fine and Gambo noticed that Sophia's aura was different from usual.
"Protecting the students is also a teacher's job."
The Bronze Soldier charged at Sophia.
Gambo formed his hands into Steel Form, and Fine got into a fighting stance... but Sophia stopped them with her hand.
With a slight smile, Sophia opened the book and ripped out a random page.
"The dormitory is off-limits to anyone not involved."
When Sophia threw the page, it turned into a sharp blade and pierced the Bronze Soldier's head. The soldier vanished into particles.
Then, Sophia approached another Bronze Soldier and delivered a high kick while still in her slippers.
"Shh!!"
The slipper transformed into Steel Form, gaining a sharp edge, and decapitated the soldier.
She kicked the slipper like a flying shoe, and it stabbed the Bronze Soldier that was getting close to Gambo and the others.
Sophia grabbed a broom that was in the corner of the room and sliced the remaining Bronze Soldier in half.
"Well... is that it?"
""......""
Gambo and Fine were stunned.
Fine cautiously asked,
"Um, Miss Sophia... aren't you super strong?"
"Not really, it's nothing special."
Sophia smiled wryly.
By the way, only the headmaster Poseidon and the vice-principal Elshi know that Sophia was the former head knight of the kingdom and has the skill 'Weapon Master.'
It's a skill that turns anything she touches into a weapon. For Sophia, places like the living room are just like a weapon storage.
"...It's better not to move carelessly. First, let's get ready for battle."
""Y-yes!""
The two of them straightened up and replied without thinking.

When Elk burst through the door, what he saw was...
"Fugoo~~..., fugoo~~..."
"......"
It was the headmaster Poseidon's private room.
He was sleeping, wrapped in a floral blanket, wearing heart-patterned pajamas, and hugging a body pillow with a woman in a swimsuit printed on it.
Is this a nightmare? Elk was stunned... but then he slapped his cheek.
"Headmaster!!"
"Nhuh!? W-what's going on!? Elk!? Why are you in my room!?"
"O-okay, please calm down. Headmaster, we have an enemy attack!!"
Poseidon jumped out of bed and looked around.
Elk closed the door and explained to Poseidon.
"Sir, I don't know why, but it seems that opening the academy's door leads to another entrance..."
"Hmm... ouch, I have a hangover."
"......"
"W-well, I understand that it's an emergency. We need to contact the staff and deal with the situation. I can't believe the academy is being attacked again while the upperclassmen are out on a dungeon training trip."
"I'm going to investigate the cause. For now, let's go!!"
Elk opened the door.
Then, it connected to the training ground.
"Oh, it really connects... what kind of skill is this?"
"I don't know, but I'm going!!"
Elk dashed out to the training ground──suddenly, a 'bronze soldier' fell from the sky.
"What the... whoa!?"
Elk jumped to the side.
The bronze soldier landed, stabbing its sword into the spot where Elk had just been.
It was a lifeless, cold doll. Elk quickly judged it as an enemy and prepared to attack.
"Take this!"
Gathering 'mental' power in both hands, Elk created a 'sphere' big enough to hold with one hand and launched it.
He fired 'psychic bullets' at the approaching bronze soldier, and it crumpled and flew away.
"Not that impressive... Anyway, I need to find and defeat the source of this 'dungeonification.' With this scale, there's definitely a priest involved. And this strange doll..."
It was early morning.
Many people would be waking up soon. What if someone opened the door and suddenly faced this bronze soldier? They would have to fight without proper equipment.
If they could fight barehanded like Gambo or Fine, it would be one thing, but fighting in the early morning with a sleepy head was terrifying just to think about.
There would definitely be casualties.
Then, Sylphid, who was hiding in Elk's hood, whispered in his ear.
"Hey, hey. There's a really strong 'weird feeling' coming from over there."
"Weird feeling?"
"Yeah. It's a huge power, like papa's... no, even bigger than papa's."
"Is it a priest's cheat skill...?"
"But, but, it feels like it's tangled up in a big mess. It seems really tough."
"...Anyway, we have to go."
Then──this time, a 'moss-colored giant' appeared.
It was huge. More than 3 times the size of the bronze soldier, and very wide.
The giant, looking like it was made of stacked bricks, raised its massive fist.
"For now, let's take out the weak ones as we go!!"
Elk gathered 'psychic bullets' in both hands and charged at the giant.
