The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 92
092. Malice (4)
Defeating the diving bats that kept appearing, Claire felt a sense of wonder.
‘… No matter how I think about it, it’s strange.’
There are so many diving bats, but I can’t feel the sense of danger.
There are a lot of guys who rush at you, but I guess you could say they’re too ignorant.
The number is much higher in the diving bats, but from a certain point on, it was progressing in the form of students pushing.
The life of the monsters is too weak.
As if he had no intention of killing this side.
“……It’s jingling.”
The diving bat transformed into a golem attacks Claire again.
His life is weak, but he is strangely biting himself. It’s like you don’t want to let go.
Ariel…… Not visible at any moment
I keep trying to send To Ariel, but it is not being delivered.
“Ha…”
Annoyance creeping up.
Fragments of information gather little by little, and fragments of truth begin to appear.
-“Alex, don’t you know anything about Della-senpai?”
I am reminded of something that happened a while ago.
-“Well, we’re not very close, so we don’t know much.”
-“Come to think of it, Della-senpai… Seems to have a fiancée.”
-“Fiancée?”
-“Yes. I heard that you got engaged to a male student from Beltark Academy, but it seems that your fiancé is staying in the western commercial district.”
At that time, from the time the name Beltarc came out, Claire had been speculating on one thing. That Della and Joshua might be related.
It seems that Ariel intends to return to the Floating Island after this raid.
She thought it would be today to blow things up, but I never thought it would be like this.
It seems that the monsters were gathered using some kind of means,
Moreover, it seemed that it was not only Della who bought it, but also a larger number of people.
Just to get Ariel away from herself.
‘Arial is the only one I’m aiming for.’
It should be. If there were casualties, it would rather be on Joshua’s side that would be at a disadvantage.
Thinking so, Claire saw the student knights fighting alongside her.
“I have to go.”
Says.
Then, the student knights reacted immediately.
“Where are you going?”
“To where Ariel is, of course.”
“It’s dangerous outside the boss room. According to the information, the undead are pushing in.”
“So? You’re not going to let me go?”
“…….”
They just look at themselves without saying anything.
Uncomfortable silence is a manifestation of will.
Well, I won’t let you go no matter what.
Because that would be their mission in the first place.
I pretty much knew it would come out like that.
-Quaaang!!
Smoke obscures the view with the explosion.
The bodies of the student knights were blown away by the shock in front of their eyes.
“What, what…?!”
The girls are taken aback by the unexpected explosion.
Something suddenly falls in front of them.
It’s a bomb.
– Boom!!!
Many things have changed since I met a boy, but there is one thing I cannot say.
He hated fire.
That was pretty fatal for Marie. Because Marie was in charge of cooking at the party.
That doesn’t mean she can’t ask Ariel, who can’t cook, to do it for her, and it seems that Claire, who grew up in a noble family, doesn’t know much about cooking either.
She thinks that, above all, she is inferior. She thinks that all she can do for her is to cook at best.
So even today.
And in the future, I will not tell the boy this feeling about the flame.
“Huh…!”
Take out the bomb from the bag given to you by Ariel.
I watched Ariel throw her items over and over again. She may be clumsy, but she’s still a bit better at throwing bombs than others.
Every time a bomb escapes Mari’s hand and falls to the ground, an explosion occurs,
The student knights are thrown out by the pressure of the flames.
I harmed a person.
From noble mtl dot com
The smell of her guilt caresses her nose, but she still can’t stop her hands.
-[If I give you a signal, throw a bomb, Miss Marie.]
Miss Claire said that through .
In this place, the boy is nowhere to be seen.
How did it happen…… I do not know. There is only vague anxiety that something bad is happening.
There is no way to know how things are going,
I don’t know if it’s right to damage your raid mates.
… I don’t like being still.
He always watched while chewing on his powerlessness, so he lost a lot of things.
Rather than lose something really precious.
“You throw well, Mary.”
Somewhere along the way, Miss Claire came up to me.
A smile that seems to have a sense of playfulness, but is also very serious.
She, who knows how to smile even in this situation, reached out her hand.
“Miss Marie, would you like that bag?”
“……A bag?”
“Because I don’t know Ariel’s situation. Maybe I need it.”
Ariel is an alchemist. Her offensive ability is determined by the items in her bag.
Conversely, she can also say that if her bag is taken away, Ariel loses most of her fighting abilities.
If it’s an enemy, I’m sure they’ll aim for Ariel’s bag first.
That’s why I put Ariel’s items in Marie’s bag just in case.
So it would be right to pass this bag on to Ariel.
“…Can I trust Miss Claire?”
Marie hesitated.
Until her first semester, the girl in front of her was Ariel’s most threatening enemy.
Miss Claire for some reason drove Ariel into her predicament.
How did Ariel escape from Miss Claire’s clutches?
And how the two reconciled was unknown to Marie.
Because she doesn’t know, she can’t be trusted.
If Miss Claire had intended this situation now.
What if Miss Claire tried to do something else to Ariel?
“Then, Miss Marie, will you kill me?”
…… What?
“Lord, kill me…?”
“Yes. As long as Ariel doesn’t come back alive, she might as well kill me.”
Having said that, Miss Claire grabbed her hand and brought it to her chest.
Heart pounding.
Heart pounding.
Miss Claire’s heartbeat can be felt from her hands.
For the first time in my life, I am hearing the heartbeat of another person.
“Or you can kill me now. Dying——I honestly hate it, but as long as it’s Miss Marie, it doesn’t matter.”
“What do you mean by that…”
“That’s right, Miss Marie hates me, right?”
Never, I tried to say
But my voice didn’t come out as if a splinter had been caught in my throat.
Of course, if you ask me whether I like it or not…… Although the answer is fixed.
But maybe it’s because he feels like a different human being from the very beginning…. Since he was a human being who was the complete opposite of himself, he only felt uncomfortable.
So if you ask me does he really hate it deep down in his heart.
‘…… I might not like it.’
She had Ariel in her corner.
Somewhere along the way, Ariel and I were taking a seat at a party where it was just the two of us.
She was jealous of the way she talked to Ariel.
Being jealous means
It was because Ms. Claire could do for her what she couldn’t do for herself,
It must have helped Ariel…… She must have felt jealous.
If Miss Claire hadn’t helped Ariel…… She wouldn’t have anything to be jealous of.
“…Okay. I’ll give it to you.”
Marie handed over her bag.
It’s not because I trusted Miss Claire.
She didn’t even acknowledge Miss Claire.
For Ariel.
“Because if she doesn’t bring Ariel, she… She will really kill.”
I don’t want to die either.
Thinking so, Claire sat down on the wall and crossed his legs.
“Hi Joshua. Long time no see.”
Let’s look up and smile, even the noisy zombies become quiet.
It was as if the monsters were grasping the atmosphere.
‘Are you a monster tamer?’
Like the diving bats rampaging in the boss room, the zombies rampaging outside the boss room, and the monsters here.
Seeing that they are artificially controlled, it must have been the work of a monster tamer…… But is it possible to manipulate this mass?
“Miss Claire, how did you come here?”
From the top of the pit, Joshua looks down and asks.
How did you come? Of course I came on foot.
“My party leader forgot something.”
Answering that, I threw the bag I had received from Miss Marie earlier to Ariel.
Ariel…… Keeping silent
Because Ariel knows that the situation will be resolved…… It seems that it is not only
She must have been quite exhausted, and as she caught her breath, she could be seen secretly drinking a potion.
Poorly.
“Hmm…”
Joshua glanced at her suspiciously and looked around her.
Probably to make sure there are no other reinforcements.
Unfortunately, I was the only one who was able to come here.
-“You can’t go, Claire!”
-“It can be dangerous to fall alone in a raid!”
The student knights who desperately stood in the way.
Blowing them all away with Miss Marie’s magic support and throwing bombs, I activated the And just got hit and forcibly broke through.
It wasn’t that difficult.
-“Kh, Claire! What are you doing tearing down the wall!”
Evans’ cry revives in my ears.
After destroying the barricade blocking the zombies, the outside of the boss room quickly became a mess.
From there, it was a problem to follow Ariel’s whereabouts, but this, too, could be understood with a little thought.
Zombies were coming anyway, so the only way Ariel could go was decided.
Claire, who is proficient in earth elemental magic, was able to quickly find a hidden alley.
-“It was blocked clumsily.”
Fortunately, the side road was a single road, so I was able to come without getting lost.
It would have been better if she had been able to come with Miss Marie, but it was difficult to bring Mary because she is a wizard and her breakthrough power is weak.
Alex…… I could have brought him to that extent, but honestly, I couldn’t trust him because I couldn’t tell who betrayed him.
By now Miss Marie…… How would it have been
Did Evans catch you?
Or are you fighting the zombies pushing through the collapsed barricades?
… You won’t have to worry too much about anything.
She said Miss Marie would kill her if she didn’t bring Ariel.
Right now, I have no choice but to focus on the situation in front of me.
“Shall we talk for a moment, Miss Claire?”
Confirming that no one has come except Claire, Joshua smiles.
It’s still a relaxed laugh.
Is she confident that she can control this situation?
Or is that Joshua’s mask as a nobleman?
“Okay. I wanted to talk too. There are so many things I want to say.”
Giggling, Claire looked away from Joshua.
It’s not just Joshua looking down into the pit.
The student knights are also paying attention to this side with faces as if they are seeing ghosts.
“Everyone do something fun without me? You should have included me too.”
“…….”
“But they all seem to be nobles who are nobles. They’re doing pretty dirty things. Well, where in the world are there nobles who are clean and upright?”
If you are a noble, you must know how to use dirty tricks. At least Claire grew up learning that way.
In that sense, I didn’t really think to blame them. You were doing a very noble job.
Just,
“But you got caught by me???”
It’s just ridiculous.
That’s their situation.
“Miss Claire, do you have any requirements?”
That’s why Joshua asks that.
A situation in which the third son of the duchy is trying to assassinate his second son.
That’s also a situation where they are trying to kill someone by plotting dirty numbers very secretly.
For this purpose, we purchased Philea students from another academy,
Not only that, but for this situation, monsters were mobilized to raid the raid.
If I had done everything well without being caught, I could have been evasive, but
The problem is that Claire witnessed it.
So there is only one way for Joshua to remain.
All he did was win Claire over to his side.
“It’s a desired condition… If there’s no specific condition, how will Joshua react~?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to say there is even if you don’t have it?”
– Perfect!
Joshua snapped her fingers.
At that moment, the students of Beltark Academy moved.
I wondered if they were aiming this way, but Claire was conscious of the sword at her waist.
It was not a meaningful action.
It wasn’t Claire who was overpowered, and it wasn’t Ariel either.
Philea Academy students were subdued.
“Kuh…! Mu, what are you doing…”
“It can’t be helped. I have to do this so that Miss Claire won’t listen to me.”
Nine Philea Academy students were observing the situation.
After bringing them all to their knees, Joshua drew his sword.
Putting a sword to one of them’s neck,
Joshua says.
“Choose, Ms. Claire. Will you choose my older brother? Will you choose a colleague?”
“Ariel.”
