Volume 7 Chapter 15 To The Enemy
Elk and Fine joined Nickes, Merry, and Graham's family.
Elk took off his hood and eye mask and approached Nickes.
"Are you okay?"
"Ah, yeah. Hey Elk... what's all this commotion about?"
"It's definitely the Goddess Holy Church. Damn, these guys are really annoying."
"It's not just the Goddess Holy Church."
Graham interrupted, stepping between Nickes and Elk.
"Premiere Knights. And I also confirmed the Night Festival Courtesan. Plus, the Demon King... 3 S-rank dangerous organizations, along with a newly recognized 4th S-rank dangerous organization, the Goddess Holy Church. These 4 organizations attacked the academy at the same time. This is definitely not a coincidence; it's an attack driven by some kind of will."
"...Some kind of will?"
"Yeah. I don't even want to think about it, but... these 4 organizations have teamed up. And this is a declaration of war."
"W-what do you mean, old man?"
"Just a guess. The 4 S-rank dangerous organizations teamed up to target the Galatinne Kingdom, the largest country in the world. And they aimed for the commerce department's presentation."
That was exactly right.
The Goddess Holy Church aimed to eliminate Elk, but the 3 organizations wanted to show that 'S-rank dangerous organizations have teamed up.'
Then, Merry raised her hand.
"Um... Mr. Elk, what is that?"
"Ah, I forgot."
What Merry pointed at was a giant meatball floating outside the window.
Elk raised his right hand, focusing his telekinesis───...the meatball shot off at an incredible speed, crashing into the peak of a mountain hundreds of kilometers away.
Elk didn't look at it and asked Nickes.
"Nickes, where's Emma?"
"Emmy? I think she's at the museum."
"The museum..."
The museum had many first-year students' representative works on display.
Then, Graham talked to the guards about something and said to Elk.
"Elk. It seems like there are still a lot of enemies left. In fact, it looks like new ones have been sent in. I confirmed it with my guard skill 'Far Sight,' so there's no mistake."
"Uh... but I blew away quite a few of them."
"It seems this second wave is the main force. They're trying to wear us down with numbers first, then suppress us with the second wave... There may be fewer of them, but many are skilled."
"...Ugh."
Then, Nickes slapped Elk on the shoulder.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and go! Emmy is in danger!!"
"But you guys..."
"Idiot. We have guards here. Plus, my little sister Merry is with us."
"Nickes..."
"Elk, I'll stay too. I'd just be a burden if I went with you..."
"I'll stay too~! Elk, do your best!"
Fine and Sylphid also seemed to want to stay.
Just then, a young man kicked open the classroom door and walked in.
"I found you... Hehe, a few kids and 3 weaklings, can I take care of them? Azazel."
He was a man with a blood-stained sword.
It looked like he had already cut down a few people. No doubt, he was strong.
The second wave. A member of the Demon King was closing in on Elk and the others.
"Kyahahahah!! The revolution is starting, huh? A gift from the demon king to those who are too comfortable in peace!! Now, let's play───..."
The man's body suddenly stopped moving.
He was restrained by Elk's Telekinesis. Then, he flew straight to Elk.
Elk unfolded his blades in both hands, stabbed the man's shoulders, slashed his legs, and then spun him rapidly in the air before slamming him headfirst onto the classroom floor.
The floor caved in, and the man's head was driven into it. He twitched, but Elk was no longer watching.
Elk pulled the man's sword with Telekinesis and handed it to Merry.
"Merry, use this."
"...Ah, okay."
"Fine, Merry, the bodyguard... I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the museum!!"
Elk put on an eye patch mask and a hood, then jumped out of the classroom window.
* * *
Cagliostro, Emilia, and Demiurge gathered at the museum.
As soon as Demiurge arrived, he spoke to the two.
"The evacuation of students, civilians, and nobles?"
"70 percent done. The remaining 30 percent is here and in the commerce department building. The teachers from the academy and knights, except for the Security team, have started moving... but it's a bit bad."
"Yeah. We've fought a few Premiere Knights so far, but their skill level is different. This is probably their main force... the initial weak ones were just to tire us out."
"What should we do, Dad?"
"...Call me captain. For now, we need to protect the people inside the museum."
The Premiere Knights, Night Festival Courtesans, and the regular troops of the Tyrant appeared in droves, surrounding the museum.
Emilia clicked her tongue.
"This is bad... it's clear that they have more numbers over there."
Meanwhile, the Security team was scattered.
They had called for a gathering, but it would take time for everyone to assemble.
Emilia and her group had fewer than 20 people. However, the 3 organizations had over 50 members. Each one was skilled, and if things continued like this, they could be completely wiped out.
Then... a man stepped forward.
He wore a knight's uniform with a cape and carried a magnificent sword, surrounded by a visible aura.
"The cape with the knight's emblem... he's an executive class."
Cagliostro grimaced.
Only the leaders of the Premiere Knights were allowed to wear the emblem cape.
The Seven Holy Knights. The strongest of the Premiere Knights, one of the 7, was 'Light Knight' Orphan.
"Surrender and hand over the academy."
"""..."""
"If you do not comply, I will show no mercy."
"Ah."
Emilia couldn't help but whisper.
The moment Orphan showed a puzzled expression──suddenly, a shock and intense pain hit his back.
"Guah!? Guh!?"
Orphan didn't notice.
Out of nowhere, a black assassin appeared from above, stabbing a blade into Orphan's back and landing on him, crushing him.
With a clink, the right blade was hidden away. It was a fitting concealed weapon for an assassin.
Killing Orphan without him noticing... Elk didn't know, but it was a high-level technique called 'Air Assassination.'
Elk was surrounded, but he shouted without caring.
"Emma, are you okay!! I came to help!!"
