Inside the spacious gym, all 2860 students were gathered alongside all the faculty and staff. All of them were sitting down on the floor. Sobbing could be heard all over the gym. Students were hugging each other for comfort, their faces were full of despair. The terrorists were guarding all the entrances and were keeping an eye on the people inside the gym. The terrorists were armed with their machine guns, armored bodysuits, and half masks. The adults didn’t know what to do and were falling into despair not knowing what the terrorists would do to them. Everyone occasionally looked at the principal, who had been shot in the leg after trying to argue with one of the terrorists. Hajin and Mei were trying to confront each other.
“I saw Moon Units, so they might have to bring the military as well to save us.” Hajin said with his right arm around Mei. “My brother is part of the military, although he is a researcher, I know he’ll come to rescue us.”
“Well, my sister is also part of the military, too.” Mei said as she got closer to Hajin. “She is a great Moon Unit pilot, so she will take care of the terrorists on the Moon Units.”
“Listen up! If our demands are not met soon! There will be consequences.” The terrorists, who seemed to be the leader, said as he pointed his machine gun at the students. The students began screaming and crying desperately not knowing if they would be killed. “Shut it!”
“Sister, please come soon!” Mei was crying. “I don’t wanna die!”
“We’ll be fine, Mei!” Hajin’s face was full of dread and his breathing was chaotic. “Let’s have hope!”
Suddenly, everyone could hear a loud bang coming from up above. They began to try and find the source of the sound, but they couldn't see anything different inside the gym. The sound had come from outside, and the students could see that the terrorist had become panicked.
“Damn it! They are targeting the Moon Units, but I haven’t received a report of their Moon Units arriving yet!” The terrorist leader was frustrated. “Well, if they intend to play that game then I’ll play with them!”
The terrorist leader pointed his gun at the students and the rest of the terrorists followed his lead. Some students began to cry uncontrollably, while others braced themselves. The faculty and staff were in the same situation as the students, and they felt like complete failures because they had failed to keep the students safe. As the terrorists were about to pull the trigger on their guns, a man and a woman fell from the vent on top of the ceiling. The man quickly released Electric Balls that immediately targeted each terrorist, while the woman erected a barrier that covered the students, faculty, and staff. Some terrorists managed to fire their machine guns before the Electric Ball hit them, rendering them incapable of combat. The barrier was able to keep everyone from the few shots that could be fired.
“Oliver!” Hajin shouted as he took a closer look at the man. “I knew you would come!”
“Oliver? So that’s him?” Mei whispered to herself.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“You, how did you two get here? I couldn’t sense your Magic Power?” The terrorist leader asked as he recovered from the attack. “Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just kill you!!”
“Yuri, make sure to keep up the barrier. Protect the students!” Oliver commanded as his body became covered in the glow of Magical Energy. After the glow disappeared, it was clear Oliver had activated Armor Ascension.
“Leave it to me!” Yuri said as she entered the barrier, pumping Magical Energy into it. “Focus on fighting, he seems strong unlike the others.”
“This won’t have an effect on you!” The terrorist leader said as he threw his machine gun away. “I guess it comes down to old fashion close combat and Magic.”
The terrorist leader launched a Fireball towards Oliver. Oliver responded by launching his own Fireball. The two Fireballs collided and consumed one another. The terrorist leader rushed towards Oliver and Oliver also rushed towards him. The terrorist threw a punch at Oliver, which Oliver avoided the punch by side stepping to the left. Oliver used the chance to punch the terrorist in the back. The terrorist used his Magical Energy and discharged electricity around his body. Oliver became stunned for a moment. Oliver managed to recover in time and blocked the terrorists' punch.
“You’re tougher than I thought!” The terrorists said with a frustrated expression. “But don’t be so happy, even if you stop us, you cannot stop the rest of Sukui!”
“We’ll see about that!” Oliver responded as he exchanged blows with the terrorist. “You guys failed here, but in a way you won. The hearts of the innocent people you have tormented might never heal. I’ll make you pay for what you have done.”
“You think you’re so tough, eh?” The terrorist’s anger boiled over as his face turned crimson and his veins bulged. “You’re nothing.”
“I’ll bet everything on my next attack.” Oliver said, grabbing the terrorist’s wrist. Oliver focused all of his Magical Energy on his hand and discharged all of it using Electric Magic. The terrorist screamed in agony as the electricity flowed through his body. Within a few moments the terrorist lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Oliver lost his Armor Ascension and returned to his normal clothing. The rest of the terrorists had already recovered themselves from Oliver’s earlier attack and were pointing their guns at Oliver. The terrorists began to unload their guns on Oliver, but Yuri quickly made a barrier that protected Oliver. “I already told you guys that you had lost!”
One of the front doors of the gym was kicked in and Roger and Jin-Woo rushed inside the building. They assessed the situation, saw that the students were safe and smiled.
“I knew we could count on you two.” Roger praised Oliver and Yuri.
“Please take them down in a non-lethal way. We don’t want to scare the students any more than they already are. They have gone through enough!” Oliver said as he drank a potion.
“We’ll do as you say!” Roger answered as he gathered Magical Energy.
“I guess I have to get close.” Jin-Woo said, rushing towards the terrorist closest to him.
The terrorists began to shoot at Jin-Woo and Roger, but they were protected by Yuri’s barriers. Jin-Woo quickly knocked down a couple of terrorists while Roger used his Electric Magic to paralyze the rest of the terrorists. The police force quickly poured into the gym and began to take away the defeated terrorists. After taking away the terrorists the police officers began to provide aid to the hostages. Hajin quickly ran towards Oliver and hugged him.
“Oliver, I was so scared. I am so glad it was with who showed up!” Hajin said in a relieved tone while tears rolled down his cheeks.
“I rushed here as soon as I was notified of what happened.” Oliver said as he patted Hajin’s head. “I wouldn’t leave my little brother alone in a situation like this.”
“Thanks!” Hajin was smiling as he separated from Oliver.
“You!” Mei shouted as she approached Oliver and slapped him. “You’re the one playing with my sister’s heart!”
“What are…?” Oliver said as he looked at Mei. He noticed that Mei somewhat resembled Aria. “I guess you’re Aria’s little sister.”
“Yes, and where is my sister?” Mei glared at Oliver.
“I am here, Mei!” Aria said as she ran towards Mei and hugged her. “Mei you shouldn’t have slapped Oliver. He saved you! Oliver and I are adults, so let us deal with our messy love life.”
“Okay.” Mei reluctantly said. “Thank you for saving us!”
“You’re welcome, Mei! And nice to meet you!” Oliver said with a smile.
