It has been two weeks ever since I’ve decided to teach my classmates the ‘Null Element’. It has been rather peaceful on our side and we haven’t seen any magic students for a while now. I’ve also been waiting for Eclara to report to me. Sadly she hasn’t come back since the first day, so I became worried about her.
As a result, I, Vertical Rolls, and three men, that were Vertical Rolls’ acquaintances, were up in the sky. We were heading to the Magic Students Building. Although I wanted Emilia, Mary, and Victoria to come. They were still busy teaching some of the students that were having a hard time.
“Lumina-sama, something is happening over there.”
I shifted my gaze to where Vertical Rolls pointed and found four groups of people facing off against each other. We became curious so we increased our altitude and went to that place.
When we had arrived, I was quite shocked to see that at the center of that gathering, 13 people were standing at the center. I made a mana screen to help us see closer and observed them.
“So, Carlos-sama, Pax-sama, Maxwell-sama, and Ciel-sama, can you tell us why were all here?”
A blonde haired boy, who looks like a girl, asked the four people that wore different colored cloaks. I recognized the one who was wearing a blue cloak if I’m correct he was Carlos-sama. When I realized who he was, I looked at Vertical Rolls with concern.
Her shoulders quivered a bit and met my gaze. She then showed me a smile and nodded. I breathe out a sigh and returned my focus back on the screen. On the side of that girly boy, I could see Eclara standing beside him… her… whatever.
“As you should know, ever since Carlos was defeated by that ‘thing’, the students of this school have become confused. As a result, conflicts between factions have ensued during and after school for days now. And we, the heirs of the most influential families of the kingdom, have decided to eliminate the source of the confusion and conflict.”
The person, that had red hair and was wearing a red cloak, pointed at the person who stood at the girly boy’s side. He had black hair and wore a plain white uniform with a pair of dark pants. He was the protagonist
“Wawawa!”
The girly boy started panicking and flailed her arms around.
“Try me,if you can. Nishishi”
The protagonist started laughing while Eclara made a sigh.
Removing my gaze from the mana screen I faced the boys who were silently watching the mana screen behind me. I then pointed to the three people that wore the red, yellow, and green cloaks.
“Do you know these three?”
“Yes.”
The one with blue hair flew closer and said:
“The one that’s wearing the red cloak is Pax Karmerot-sama, the one who Achil was supposed to serve.”
(Since he has red hair?)
(… let’s not comment on that.)
“The one wearing the yellow cloak is Maxwell Fenyes Sarga-sama while the one with the green cloak is Ciel Vertpur.”
I looked at the mana screen and observed the Maxwell. He had golden blonde hair with blue eyes. He wore a sardonic smile as he stared Eclara. Beside him was the one that wore the green cloak. Ciel had olive green hair and eyes. Unlike Maxwell, Ciel was scowling as he stared at the girly boy.
“Hmm… I remember that you six were supposed to serve the four most influential families. Since you know them, which means…”
“Yes. They were supposed to be the master we served.”
“Hmmm… is that so?”
The boy with blue hair made a wry smile as he nodded. He then went back to the two. Vertical Rolls went closer to me and whispered:
“Do you know him, Lumina-sama?”
Vertical Rolls was pointing at the boy with the blue hair behind me.
“O-of course I do… he’s Frank, right?”
“Then do you know who Achil is?”
“The one with red hair.”
“Then how about the last one?”
“…. Ummm…”
I hung my head in shame as I urged Vertical Rolls to answer me.
“He’s Anthony, Lumina-sama.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
I then focused my gaze back to the mana screen and ignored Vertical Rolls who mumbled, ‘Lumina-sama really is bad with names’.
“You bastard!”
A boy who was a head shorter than Pax-sama, who was 173 cm tall, brandished a sword of fire and lunged towards the protagonist.
“Ooh, getting hot blooded aren’t we? Then…”
The protagonist started to chant a spell.
(Hmm… the magic students have teachers right? Is it okay for them to skip classes like this?)
When the protagonist finished his chant, a large broadsword of fire appeared in his hand and locked it with the short boy.
“Tch… everybody, attack!”
Pax-sama then shouted and almost all of the students in the area started chanting a spell.
“Hahaha! You think I’ll allow them?
The protagonist muttered a word and stomped his feet on the ground. The earth trembled by his stomp and made almost all of the students fall down.
“Eclara! Take Michelle and get as far away from here as quickly as possible!”
“Hmph!”
Eclara then flew to the sky while towing the girly boy. From the screen, the five of us could see a thin layer of mana covering Eclara’s body. She was using ‘Null Element’ magic to get away.
(Hmm… why does this scene look familiar… Eclara flying away… and the protagonist getting left behind…)
“No you don’t!”
The twins that looked like Vertical rolls followed them quickly and shot 6 water lances.
“Futile.”
Eclara made a wall of fire appear between them and evaporated the 6 lances.
“Don’t think it’s finished! Urraah!”
Two large water serpents suddenly appeared from a magic circle and pursued Eclara.
“Krisha… Misha….”
Vertical Rolls suddenly started mumbling beside me. I removed my sight from the battle and asked her a question.
“Do you know those two?”
“… they’re my twin siblings from a different mother.”
“Your siblings?”
“Yes.”
“Hmmm… is that so? No wonder they also have Vertical Rolls.”
“Armes.”
While we were talking, we heard Eclara muttered a name as she ran away. Moments later a huge red magic circle appeared from the air. None of us recognized what that was or what it was for. So we focused on the magic circle
“Wow!”
I exclaimed the moment something appeared from that magic circle. Because what came out from it was a small red dragon.
As the five of us were taken aback by the appearance of the red dragon. Eclara finished chanting a spell and made a dragon from fire. These two dragons then engaged with the two serpents in the air.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Wawawawa!”
All the while, the girly boy continued to scream.
“““““…”””””
The five of us gave the girly boy a look of pity as he was dragged around in the sky by Eclara.
“Come on! Try hitting me! Hahaha!”
I shifted my gaze to the land and found that the one who was laughing was the protagonist.
He ran along the ground at an unbelievable speed while hundreds of magic spells chased after him.
(He’s really overpowered huh. I wish I was like that….)
He suddenly turned around and slammed his hand on the ground. In that instant, a huge wall appeared before him. The spells crashed on the wall and crumbled down towards him.
“Oops.”
The protagonist jumped away from the wall and into the air.
“I was waiting for that!”
The one with the yellow cloak shouted as earth spikes appeared from the ground and headed towards the protagonist.
“Fall down.”
The man with the green cloak spoke in a low tone and a whirlwind hit the protagonist and pushed him down towards the earth spikes.
Eclara who noticed the protagonist’s situation, became the reason why her concentration broke. People suddenly appeared behind her and shot her with magic.
“Kuuuh!”
“Eclara-san!”
Eclara’s clothes were ripped in some places as we observed her fall down. The girly boy started screamed her name while he tried to grab Eclara’s hand.
“Ehhh?”
The girly boy let out a confused look as they stopped in mid-air and started flying away. The one who stopped them was me, I made a floor of mana under them and had it fly towards us.
“Anthony, go back to the school and get 30 students to come here. Tell them that we may have fight against the magic students.”
(Well, it's not like we're hiding it or anything. The only reason why they haven't found us is because none of them bothered to go to our building. Besides, we're bound to be found out sooner or later.So there's nothing wrong showing this to them. )
“Lumina-sama?”
“Hurry!”
“Yes!”
The man with silver hair condensed the mana around him and flew towards the general student’s building. As he flew a random thought flashed in my mind, ‘He’s Anthony? Gotta remember that’.
“Are you gonna fight against them, Lumina-sama?”
“I know it’s quite rash, but I can’t just sit around observe while somebody I know is getting hurt.”
Vertical Rolls’ eyes gave off a light of concern as she stared at me. As Eclara and the girly boy flew closer, I faced the three servants who came with me here.
“I don’t know if any of you know those that are pursuing Eclara, but I’m gonna fight them here. If there is somebody or a relative within them, I won’t force you to fight. You can just fly higher and leave this place.”
Those words aimed to Vertical Rolls. I didn't want to force her to fight against her siblings. Because from the screen we could see that her half-siblings were amongst the people who were chasing after Eclara.
“My little sister is amongst them, Lumina-sama. And as long as you order it, I’ll fight against her.”
Surprisingly the one who reacted first was the boy with blue hair.
(He’s Frank… right?)
“Since the night I swore to you, I have already resolved myself to even kill my elder brother.”
The one with red hair made a savage smile and said some scary words.
(Wait, so Achil was the one who said that ominous statement a few weeks back!? Gotta be careful with him.)
“I’m your servant and also your friend, Lumina-sama. So even if I’m up against Carlos-sama and my sisters, I’ll still fight against them.”
(I’m touched, Vertical Rolls. I’m sorry for calling you Vertical Rolls. I’m gonna call you by your name again… what was it? Ummm….)
“They’re almost here.”
While I was busy trying to remember Vertical Rolls name, Frank quickly alerted me.
“Then fire the first salvo!”
<
A small fireball appeared before Achil and Vertical Rolls.
As for Frank, two small balls of water appeared beside him.
Mana congregated on their hands and the moment that it was enough, they slammed their hands on fireballs and waterball, either with a fist or a palm strike. The fireball quickly became a large wave of fire flying towards the students that were pursuing Eclara. As for the water balls, it became a long stream of water that moved in the air like a snake.
They were controlling it with the null element magic so I was confident that it wouldn't result in a friendly fire.
As for me, I made a waterball, a fireball, a wind ball and a floating piece of rock. I then had them crash towards multiple layers of mana walls, making them stronger.
In my mind, I was making a speech...
[Water, Earth, Fire, Air.
Long ago, the general students lived together in harmony, but then everything changed the moment Eclara was attacked…]
Who’d blame me? I mean the way Achil, Frank, and Vertical Rolls moved kinda reminded of ‘The Avatar’. What’s more, since it was easier to control the magic we fired by moving our bodies, it felt even more like ‘The Avatar’. Though we only do this if the distance was quite far
“What the?”
“Huh?”
“They have friends?”
“They’re still people who're willing to help them!?”
The eight people simultaneously fired magic towards the spells we fired. Since our magic was no match against those in a direct confrontation. The three of us moved our hands and changed its direction to evade it.
“What in the world are those guys!?”
Bang*
A cloud of dust appeared in the sky as our magic collided with them.
“Yep… Kinda like ‘The Avatar’.”
“Lumina-sama?”
“Ahh, nothing. My mind was just wandering around.”
“Haaa…”
Vertical Rolls tilted her head as she tried to remember what I said.
“It’s nothing, okay. So don’t worry about it.”
I walked closer to her and patted her head. She made a bright smile and nodded to me with a very happy expression.
As for the boys, they were raising their hands high up in the air while laughing.
