The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 90

090. Malice (2)

“Ms. Alex, wake up!”

The student knights from the side shouted.

“Monsters, Miss Alex! We must protect the other students!”

“Protect… Ah…”

─I can’t entrust Claire-sama to a man like that. I will definitely protect Claire.

Alex barely remembered what he had said before.

Claire.

Where is Claire?

Let’s look around,

I saw Claire-sama and Ariel Beheritt surrounded by monsters.

“Claire-sama…!”

Alex ran towards Claire.

And as if following him, Fireche and other student knights join Alex.

“Alex, let’s go together! It’s dangerous to go alone!”

He was shouting something, but Alex had no time to care.

As you can see in front of your eyes, Alex slays the diving bats and runs forward.

And I was able to stand by Claire’s side right away.

“Claire-sama, are you okay!”

“What is it? They came rushing in.”

Claire-sama looks at Alex with a frown on her face.

…… ? It’s a different reaction than what I thought.

I want to ask what the hell is going on,

Fireche sneaked in between herself and Claire-sama.

“Claire, I will help.”

“Let’s fight together, Mr. Claire!”

“The only thing that can help students in this situation is our Student Knights!”

“…….”

Lady Claire continued to look at them with a disapproving face.

And while doing so, Claire-sama sneakily moved on.

Toward Ariel Beheritt.

“Ariel, you better stay by my side.”

And that’s what I say to that man.

…… Is Claire on guard?

Monsters?

This situation?

Or me?

“Claire-sama, the monsters are coming!”

Fireche shouts, and the diving bats throw themselves.

The Diving Bat is an irregular monster that can transform into anything.

Eventually, they begin to come in various forms.

Some even take the form of a beast.

Some things take the form of a knife-like weapon.

Some even become zombie-like humanoids.

And some also took the form of golems.

A bulky attack that feels like water rushing in.

When you come to your senses, Claire-sama is getting hit and miss by monsters.

“…Chit.”

Of course, to Claire-sama who activated , They couldn’t do any damage.

However, it was enough to limit Claire-sama’s actions.

No matter how much damage she had , Claire-sama was a girl who weighed only around 50kg after all.

If you use mass as a weapon and bump into her body, Claire-sama will have no choice but to be pushed away.

There is no choice but to be dragged around without doing anything like that.

‘Attacks are being focused on Mr. Claire…… ?’

Somehow, it looks like the diving bats are persistently targeting Claire-sama.

If you think it’s strange, you can see an unexpected movement of a girl at the end of your field of vision.

Dela was running away holding Ariel Beheritt’s hand.

‘…… What’s going on?’

I was taken aback by the battle situation unfolding before my eyes.

Diving bats appeared everywhere.

It’s not just one or two. Beyond dozens…… Maybe hundreds.

Why did the diving bat I saw a while ago appear here too…… I don’t know.

What is certain is that something is happening that never happened in the original work.

“I’ll turn…”

Leaving behind her surprised heart, she looked around for a moment.

After the Living Doll is defeated, the boss room is in a state of chaos.

“Gather in parties! Where are all the party members!”

“Mmm, we have to protect the wounded first…!”

“Sa, help me…!! I, I am a healer!”

All the students are doing different things because the diving bats are rampaging.

Some people fight back, some try to run away, some just get scared.

There are many things to think about, but…… There are only two things I need to take care of.

My life and Marie’s life.

‘Marie… ?’

Marie must have been preparing to withdraw from Group 1.

When I look there, I see familiar faces.

“I don’t have time to be bored every day.”

“Are you still joking! Move your hands more when you have time!”

Lapisca and Belairam. The appearance of the two appears first.

They were guarding the wounded in group 1 who were healing their wounds, and Marie and Benit were with them.

I let out the breath I had been holding back.

Mari will be safe with those two.

Claire seems to be more dangerous than that.

“……It’s getting boring, really.”

Claire is swinging her sword with a blatantly annoyed voice.

When Claire swings her sword, a zombie-type diving bat blocks it with her body,

Taking advantage of that gap, the diving bats in the form of golems collided with each other.

Claire clicks her tongue and tries to block the monster by activating .

The diving bat reverts back to its original slime form and goes through the wall and attacks Claire.

It is to apply the digging ability of the diving bat to As it is.

She’s keeping Claire in check.

As if someone is manipulating a diving bat.

“…It can’t be helped.”

I take the bomb out of my bag.

Claire has almost invincible defense ability anyway with .

Then it would be better to just throw the bomb at Claire and clear the enemies around Claire once and for all.

With that in mind, I’m about to throw a bomb.

“Claire-sama, I’ll help you!”

The student knights sneak in next to Claire.

That includes Alex.

I couldn’t help but stop looking at it.

‘… I can’t find the angle to throw the bomb.’

If you throw a bomb, the student knights will get involved.

So I stopped , But the situation is not getting better.

Far from helping Claire, the student knights,

Rather, it took on the appearance of subtly restricting Claire’s movements.

“Hey everyone, get out of the way! Me and Claire will take care of this, so go fight somewhere else!”

“Shut up, duke’s wretch! Don’t order us!”

To my cry, one of the student knights responded.

He sighs. Then it is. Can’t hear me

That bastard duke is crazy. His only male student.

Anyway, nothing goes smoothly.

Should I just ignore it and throw the bomb?

When I felt a moment of rage, I grabbed his hand.

“Ariel-kun, this way.”

“Della…?”

From noble mtl dot com

One day, Della was right beside me.

Della took her hand and dragged her, and she started running away.

“Where are you going?”

“For now, leave this to the student knights, and let us leave the boss room for now.”

“Let’s run away?”

“I guess I have no choice but to run away… I can’t deal with all those monsters, so I have no choice but to secure an escape route.”

Della said so calmly.

Her words…… That was right.

I don’t think the diving bat’s strength is as great as I thought, but the difference in head count is too great.

Everyone is tired because they just finished the raid, but it’s never good to fight in a state where the formation isn’t properly prepared.

‘… Besides, there’s nothing I can do here.’

A chaotic composition with diving bats appearing from all directions.

Throwing a bomb is extremely likely to get your allies involved.

In that sense, securing a retreat, as Della said, is definitely the best option.

Wise judgment that may be the only option.

“Let’s set up the turrets as soon as we leave the boss room. And after securing the escape route, fight back…, Fight back…”

Della stopped her feet.

The reason why she couldn’t finish her words was revealed first of all.

After that, the sound that hits the eardrum delivers an ominous certainty.

“Stand by all means! Don’t let them come in! Protect them no matter what!”

Zombies were coming in like waves.

At Philea Academy, the mage who can create the most walls is probably Claire.

As it is nicknamed ‘Claire of the Iron Wall’, it is on a level that cannot be reached only when it comes to building walls.

But that didn’t mean that other mages couldn’t build walls.

Outside the boss room.

Compared to Claire’s , Rather sloppy walls surrounded the area.

“Wizards keep casting wide-area magic! Don’t use explosive magic! The wall will collapse!”

“Archers, aim for Revenant! Snipe Revenant before he self-destructs!”

“Priests stop the Wraith from coming!”

The shouts of the students burst out.

There is a face I have never seen before. This is Evans, the party leader of the 3rd party.

Around her, her student knights were busily acting.

Lancers on top of the wall stab and knock down zombies trying to climb, and a tanker is waiting as if to protect such a spearman.

Activate And the flying wizards sweep the undead with bombing magic.

Archers shooting arrows incessantly, priests building shields, and students supporting the walls so they don’t collapse are few and far between.

Evans seemed to be well-controlled, but it was full of dangers.

Even if you keep defeating them, the number of zombies will not decrease.

Like the inside of the boss room,

Outside the boss room, there were over 100 undead.

Truly a living hell.

No.

“…It’s malicious.”

I muttered involuntarily.

Diving bats are rampaging inside the boss room, and zombies are rampaging outside the boss room.

This phenomenon, which was too absurd to be expressed as a simple disaster or calamity, could only be described as malice.

Malice from the world?

Malice from God?

Malice from him or from someone alive?

“…The chains that bind heresy.”

Della said from the side as if tossing it.

What that meant I didn’t immediately figure out.

Realizing that Della had memorized the prayer and activated the sacred art skill, .

It was after the chains were wrapped around my body.

“──……! …!!”

I shouted what the hell is this, but her voice didn’t come out.

The feeling that the voice has disappeared.

As I opened my eyes, the figures of the students were revealed one by one around me.

“Are you finally here, Della?”

Evans, who approached at some point, spoke in a voice that seemed to be bothersome,

There were several student knights around her.

Only a minimum number of people are still dealing with the undead,

The urgency up until now is nowhere to be found, and only the weight that weighs down remains.

Hostile gazes.

Evans and other students are glaring at me.

Only then do you realize.

The fact that I was betrayed.

Let’s look at Della,

She lowered her head, not making eye contact with me.

“……Sorry, Ariel-kun.”
