"E-explosion? What happened all of a sudden?""U-undead!"Simon, who had successfully infiltrated the building using Corpse Explosion, immediately opened his Subspace and had skeletons and zombies engage the Hupa tribesmen.The undead could attack humans without being restricted by sight. He had successfully plunged the battlefield into complete chaos.Meanwhile, Simon's arm reached out towards Mei-rin."I'll free you now."Swish!Overlord's blades smoothly cut the ropes binding Mei-rin's arms and legs.Now free, she touched her wrist, where rope marks were clearly visible, and stared at Simon with a strange expression."...?"When Simon looked at her as if asking why, her face flushed, and she shrieked."Why isn't it Pion-nim who came, but you...!"Simon blinked."What are you suddenly talking about?"Flustered, her face turned red all the way to her neck."No, I said it backwards! No, no, that's not it! ...Thank you for saving me."Simon didn't fully understand her rambling words, but he caught the 'thank you' at the end and smiled."Cough, cough! You made quite the grand entrance."A wailing sound echoed through the dusty air. This time, it was Dick's voice."Dick? Turn around. I'll untie your ropes.""I'm fine."The ropes binding Dick's arms loosened and fell into his hands. He had used Enchant on the ropes.He easily untied the ropes binding his legs as well and leisurely rose from the dusty air."W-what the! You could untie the ropes yourself?""? Of course.""They're here!"At that moment, through the hazy vision, a Hupa warrior charged forward with a shout, raising his sword.Dick let out a sly laugh and pulled the rope taut with both hands."I can't go easy on you anymore, big bro!"Dick threw the rope.The rope was tied like a noose and instantly wrapped around the man's neck, tightening sharply."Cough!"The warrior grabbed the rope with an extremely pained expression, even dropping his sword. Just then, Dick pulled the rope hard, drawing his opponent in, and then struck his chin with his knee.Crack! With a sound, the man's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground."Dick! Another one coming from the side!"As Simon said that, he kicked off the wall and flew like a martial artist, smashing a Hupa warrior's head with a spinning kick."Wow, I could never do that even if you killed me. Still—""Kuaaaaaah!"A frenzied Hupa swordsman raised his sword. Dick pretended to draw a sword from his Subspace to engage in swordsmanship with him, then subtly threw the noose-rope at his legs.Whoosh!And avoiding the sword swung directly at him, Dick slid between the man's legs and pulled the rope hard. The man, whose balance was tilted forward, fell flat and was dragged along."The weak have their own methods."Dick snapped his fingers and muttered, and a remote Enchant was applied to a piece of metal attached to the ceiling, tearing down the ceiling and dropping it onto the man's head.Thud!Thump-thump-thump!Through the rising dust, Dick retrieved the rope with his hand and emerged."Don't panic!"Witchasha shouted."Special Admission Student No. 1, Simon Pollentia, is here! You can let the other two go or kill them, just capture him!"The Hupa tribe's original target was not Dick or Mei-rin, but Simon.Kizen was such a massive organization that kidnapping two first-year students would likely not even make them bat an eye.But capturing Special Admission Student No. 1 was a different story. Besides the symbolic meaning, he was a student Neptis herself had brought in, and Kizen was investing in him with high expectations.If they could capture such a boy, Kizen and Neptis would have no choice but to seriously come to the negotiating table."Capture him!"The Hupa warriors surged towards Simon, focusing their attack.As Simon, looking tired, was about to take out Overlord, Mei-rin stepped forward."Leave it to me."The magic circle she had set up on the ceiling was complete.Closing her eyes and stretching her arms upwards to cross them, the magic circle emitted a magnificent light, revealing its brilliant form.Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!Then, as she lowered her arms with a swan-like elegant motion, it was as if watching her perform Almaca in a theater."Just get out of my sight! You damn annoying bastards!"Her two arms swung towards the enemies.<Cruel Blizzard>Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!A Blizzard spell reinterpreted with Jet Black Elemental Magic. Black blizzards poured from the magic circle, sweeping away the charging Hupa tribesmen."Ugh!"The large warriors began to be buried and pushed back by the blizzard. Everyone was thrown into confusion by the sudden indoor snowstorm."Everyone, calm down!"Witchasha grabbed a nearby cauldron, lifted it with monstrous strength, and threw it at the ceiling. The flying cauldron shattered the ceiling and broke the magic circle.As the magic circle was canceled, Mei-rin felt the Jet Black backflow and staggered.Simon quickly approached, grabbing her shoulder and supporting her."The blizzard stopped!""Go in now!"Taking advantage of this opening, the Hupa tribesmen surged forward, wading through the black snow.Mei-rin, despite her pain, extended her right arm, but Simon grabbed her wrist, lowered it, and nodded as if to say it was okay.Simon's expression was relaxed."?"A few Hupa tribesmen, sensing something was off, also stopped their advance.'T-the wind is red?'Witchasha, who noticed the anomaly faster than anyone, shouted."No! Right now...!"It was already too late. As the red wind intensified with the scent of blood and swirled, the two legs of the densely packed Hupa tribesmen floated up. "W-what is this?!""Kuaaaaaaaah!"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!Suddenly, a red vortex swirled indoors. All the Hupa tribesmen within its radius, along with building debris and objects, were caught in the vortex and began to fly upwards.The rotating red blood, swirling with the vortex, flew like petals, cutting the Hupa tribesmen's skin. Painful screams erupted from all directions."W-what is this?"Mei-rin said with a trembling voice. If they had gone a little further, they both would have been caught in it."Who's doing this?""Who do you think?"Simon smiled and pointed with his fingertip. Kamibarez was entering through the collapsed wall, panting."...Haa, haa."While Simon was infiltrating, she had been preparing this wide-area Blood Flow System magic. Her hands, stained with blood, were raised. "Please fall. I won't take your lives."She said that and clapped her hands together. The blood-red vortex scattered with a pop! sound, and the warriors caught in the vortex were sent flying in all directions.Their bodies pierced through the wooden walls one after another and slumped down. Some flew out of the roof or collapsed onto the dirt floor, losing consciousness.Nearly twenty people neutralized in one go. Witchasha's expression hardened beyond measure.The tide of battle had completely turned.Stomp, stomp.Four boys and girls, led by Simon, walked forward, their red ties fluttering.They could hardly be seen as teenagers. The Hupa warriors, having lost their will to fight due to the overwhelming difference in power, unconsciously stepped back."A-as expected, Kizen shouldn't have been touched!""It's not just the professors! Even the brats are like this...!"Clack. "Now."Simon stopped walking and continued, looking at Witchasha."Are you ready to pay the price?""..."Witchasha's lips curled into a long smile."So, the world talks about Kizen, Kizen, and indeed, its reputation doesn't go anywhere."He took off the ornament draped over his shoulder and grabbed the lion's hide on his head, throwing it to the ground."He asks if you know Professor Hongpeng of Kizen."It was the second time Simon had received this question today. But Mei-rin next to him bristled and retorted."How dare a commoner with no lineage utter her name so carelessly?""Hongpeng and I are from the same plains, and we often clashed before she went to Kizen. Our record is 6:6."Rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble!Massive Jet Black began to overflow from his body."He asks if those who receive Hongpeng's teachings think they can defeat him, who fought her with his life on the line."He slowly lowered his stance, placing both hands on his knees.As Simon also clenched his fists and lowered his stance, Mei-rin and Kamibarez suddenly stepped forward in front of him."?"Simon looked back at them with a puzzled expression."Simon! Step back!""He's targeting you."Mei-rin spread her right hand, and Kamibarez curled her hand like a gun.Thump!Witchasha then charged forward, causing the floor to sink. Immediately, Kamibarez fired a Blood Bullet.Ping!Witchasha swung his arm, lightly deflecting it away from his face. Following that, a magic circle unfolded from Mei-rin's palm.<Wall of Ice>Whoosh!A wide ice barrier unfolded directly in front, and Witchasha swung his fist.Bang! With a sound, more than half of the barrier collapsed, creating a hole, and Simon grabbed Mei-rin, pulling her back forcefully.Whoosh!"Gah!"The massive arm that broke through the ice grabbed the empty space where she had been by a hair's breadth.Crunch!Then, instead of pulling his arm out, Witchasha ran sideways, tearing through the ice as he escaped."Just as your friends said!"And then he charged at Simon's flank like a wild ox."If I just catch you, my goal will be achieved!"Simon calmly watched the charging fist, then tilted his head, and with a chilling whoosh, Witchasha's fist cut through the air.'He dodged it that easily?!'Simon's body, with his head tilted, rotated completely, and a spinning kick came in. Just as Witchasha was about to raise his arm to guard his face.Snap!Snap!The rope's tension prevented him from moving. Dick, who had subtly moved behind him, had already looped the rope around Witchasha's right arm and connected it to the wall.Next to Dick, who was grinning and making a V-sign, Simon's sole could be seen approaching.Crack!Witchasha's nasal bone was crushed, and blood spurted out. His body twisted sideways."Cough!"This time, Mei-rin's left arm moved.Her specialty, 'Multi-casting' with both arms. Ice flowed from the pre-arranged magic circle in her left hand, grabbing Witchasha's body as he tried to bounce back and forcibly fixing him to an ice chair.During that time, Kamibarez, with bloodshot eyes, plunged in.Tap.A small, dainty fist touched Witchasha's abdomen. Witchasha's eyes widened as he wondered what it was.The blood on her fist had drawn a Blood Flow System magic circle on his abdomen.She clenched her fist again and thrust it towards the magic circle.<Blood Impact>Thwack!The moment the magic circle on her fist touched the magic circle on his abdomen, a massive blood explosion occurred, sending Witchasha flying, even shattering the ice.Boom!A distant roar echoed beyond their sight as he crashed into the wall."Nice!"A fervent cheer erupted simultaneously.Simon and Mei-rin high-fived, and Kamibarez also exhaled with a 'haah' and lowered her arms neatly.
