The Academy’s Savage Swordsman - The Academy’s Savage Swordsman chapter 42
42. my aria (1)
The audience who heard the song went crazy. He started biting, biting, and scratching his family, friends, and lover who came with him.
Kyle was no exception. He caught the unidentified energy rising through his head with an aura, burned it, and glared at Arya.
‘What is this again?’
The ability to manipulate people. It wasn’t magic. It was like that before, and even now, I couldn’t feel a handful of magical power from Arya.
It wasn’t even divine power. With these two abilities, you can’t control large numbers of people.
In other words, it was the Force. Superpowers that are innate. An ability that only Kyle has ever seen.
“Ka, work… … .”
“Yuri, it’s okay—”
Looking at the face of Yuri, who had come to the concert with him, Kyle stiffened. As if she couldn’t control her as an expert magician at once, her blood vessels were protruding thick and bursting.
Desperately resisting being manipulated, she looked at Kyle’s face and spoke cautiously.
“If the body, knock down, tree… … .”
“—Hold on for a little while.”
Hearing her words, Kyle jumped right into Aria, who was singing on stage. Aria smiled at herself as she flew away.
I’m sorry, Arya, but this crossed the line. Just before Kyle’s model reached Arya, chains flew from somewhere and bound Kyle’s limbs.
“Ugh-!?”
The chains clinging to his limbs immediately froze and perfectly assimilated into Kyle’s body. Kyle, who didn’t know what was going on, turned his head and found Yuri holding a staff and chanting at the place where I had just jumped.
“Ț̴̡̛̳̫͕̦̥̭͍̭̺͙͚̍ ̔hm̶̢̠̣͖͔̰̻͛͜͜m̸̨͍͈̤̜̙̗̼̙̜͎͆̒͆͜ͅa̷̛͉͉̩͓̠̯͔̐̑͌͂̏̅̍̂̍͒̃̐̕͜h̸̢̰̩̰̖̮͙̘̪̩͗̑̂͊̽o̷̡̰̠̝͙̒̂̾” “̸͎̱̻̣̫̜̪̥͉̔̿̑ ͜ĩ̵̙̞̣ ͜ĩ̵̙̞̣ ̷͓̯͚͖̓̊C̵̨̘̟͇̤̰̰͙͙̘͙̼͛̅̓ ̷̡̧̝͖̬̼̣̦̤͋͝͝͝͝͝͝ ̌ ̌ ̌ ̷̥̝̋̓̓̀̔̒͘͝”
double casting.
It was an opportunity left by an unknown archmage, and it was a special skill that even a 4-star wizard could annoy.
In fact, Yuri, who bound Kyle’s limbs in an instant, succeeded in throwing him out of the arena.
Kyle watched Arya carefully as she flew away. Aria didn’t care about that gaze and continued to sing.
Her song spreads throughout the academy.
Aria of aria covers the world.
* * *
Blown away by Yuri’s magic, Kyle went straight to Sera. Since he wasn’t in the concert hall, he thought he probably hadn’t heard Aria’s song yet.
In fact, Sera was walking outside the concert hall, licking strawberry candy.
Kyle jumped out of the sky and landed right in front of her.
“Kyaaagh—!?”
“Close your mouth! You might bite your tongue!”
The important thing now is to get as far away from the concert hall as possible. I don’t know what the range of Aria’s ability is, but I knew that people outside the concert hall who hadn’t listened to the song were fine.
Moving as far away from the concert hall as possible, and at the same time moving to a position where he could see the situation of the entire academy at a glance, Kyle slowly put the mensera on his shoulder.
“Ahhh… … Hey, what are you doing all of a sudden!?”
“Sarah, it’s important.”
“Uh huh? suddenly what… … Well, come to think of it, there’s no one here. you can’t, can’t you? huh? Isn’t it like that?”
“I need you.”
Saying that, seeing Kyle approaching, Sarah began to close her eyes tightly. As she prepares for the shock to come, she slowly opens her eyes, wondering that nothing will happen no matter how long she waits.
Kyle was standing in front of her, looking at her with a pathetic expression.
“What, what!?”
“——You said that nothing happens at the Cultural Festival, right?”
“uh… … Yes, it was.”
“Then what is that?”
Saying so, Kyle pointed to the academy and concert hall. Sera followed her finger and turned her head, looking at the academy in the distance.
There were things like zombies attacking people there.
“… … What is that?”
“I want to ask.”
“No no no, what is it really?”
Sarah looked at Kyle incredulously. Kyle began to describe what he had seen without exaggeration.
Arya revealed her last name, and suddenly started running out of control, and people went crazy. Yuri was also manipulated and attacked himself, etc.
After hearing all these stories, Sera began to look shocked as if she couldn’t believe it.
“No, already runaway? why?”
“What do you mean?”
“It must have been in the third year that Aria Vesta ran out of control… … .”
“… … Did you know it was going crazy?”
“of course! You said there’s nothing I don’t know If Arya goes out of control, it will be two years later!”
According to the story of the original game, two years later. Arya, who has become a third year student, becomes a witch of the kingdom who will dominate the entire academy with her own abilities and overthrow the empire.
Players use all the skills and skills they have accumulated over the past two years to stop Arya, or get close to her and prevent her from running out of control in advance.
Of course, the former is very difficult, and even if you succeed, the damage is enormous, so most players choose the latter.
“I didn’t have a runaway pattern in my first year, so I tried to solve other things first and become close… … .”
“Then why is he doing that now?”
“How do I know!? No, we have to block the teachers’ room sooner than that!”
“Why is the teachers’ office?”
“Because, that’s-“
Chick, Chijik-.
Hundreds of magic speakers installed inside the academy begin to vibrate.
Aria, who occupied the center of the academy beyond the speaker, greeted her warmly.
[Ah, everyone. Are you enjoying the Academy Cultural Festival?]
“… … Hey, that one.”
“—Cut your ears, now!”
[Shall we burn a little more? going! ─If morning comes to you.]
Aria’s singing voice begins to cover the entire academy.
* * *
“hehehe~.”
After finishing the song, Aria started to select the song to sing next while humming. what would be good The dozens and hundreds of songs she had learned so far began to pass through her head.
In fact, you can call anything. Because his song was great enough to bewitch everyone.
“Hmmm, then the next song right away—”
“Until there.”
“… … what?”
Aria, who was about to sing the next song, suddenly looked back at the broken magic tool. Standing there was the headmaster of the academy with a white beard.
5 star wizard. There are only two masters in this academy.
Arya saw that the principal was moving normally, and realized that she couldn’t control anything higher than the Master level with her own abilities.
“principal! long time no see. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you since the entrance ceremony.”
“You seem to be laughing.”
“Ahahahaha, they say good luck comes when you smile. Why don’t you make the principal smile too? To be honest, my face right now is a bit scary.”
“Are you happy? What is this situation?”
At the principal’s words, Arya tilted her head without stopping laughing. It’s fun, isn’t it natural?
“Good. Very good.”
“—I see.”
As if the principal didn’t need to hear any more, he raised his staff and chanted magic. A sharp wind was ready to blow at her.
In a situation where a gesture could kill her, Arya smiled casually.
“Are you going to kill me?”
“Stop your powers right now.”
“Ah, I don’t think that will work. These people are my hostages.”
“… … hostage?”
“Yes. I have sent orders to these people to kill themselves if they kill or harm me.”
Hearing Aria’s words, the principal looked at her with a shocked expression as if she was serious. Suicide if harmed? Doesn’t that mean that I tied my life and everything in the academy?
Hundreds of cadets present at the academy. Most of them are sons of prestigious aristocratic families. Not only that, but the royal family also exists among them.
What if they all die or get hurt? At least he couldn’t save his own life.
Even now it’s a big cultural festival. The situation where the academy is open to the outside world. There were also a number of nobles and distinguished guests who came to the academy to see the performance of the academy cadets.
In other words, Arya made the principal protect herself by revealing her hand.
“Okay, so. this. can you fix it quickly? I have to sing.”
“… … It can’t be.”
“Huh? Who will die if you don’t listen?”
“It doesn’t mean I don’t want to. I don’t know how to fix magic tools. That’s because it’s the magic school’s job.”
“Magic school… … Umm, what was the professor’s name there?”
After hearing the story, Aria sent a flame wave to call the professor of magic and magic under her control. The professor who was dominated by Arya trudged away, fixed the magic tool that the principal had broken, and disappeared again.
In the end, the principal had no choice but to watch as Aria sang in front of him and dominated the people.
I know in my head that the least damage will be done if I take the loss and kill her right now, but I don’t have the courage to do it.
However, I was able to do this.
‘Silence.’
The principal hacked the magic tool without Arya’s knowledge so that the sound wouldn’t go outside. But if you can’t hear it, you’ll know Arya’s cheating, so I engineered a voice identical to hers to sound outside the window.
It was a difficult magic that made me sweat cold, but somehow I managed to do it, as if to prove that I didn’t win the academy principal position with poker.
It was the best the principal could do.
‘Someone, find a way to solve this situation.’
He needed someone who could think of ways he couldn’t think of.
