89 – Airship #2

The bike landed on the deck of the Airship as if it were being shot down from the air.

Boom!! Awesome!!

With a very rough landing, the tires screeched across the deck, drawing deep skidmarks and coming to a halt. In the process, the smell of burning rubber filled the air.

Everyone’s mouths dropped wide. They couldn’t decide for a moment how to react to the sudden appearance of this assailant.

He was an intruder who entered the airship the princess was riding without permission, but considering the circumstances, you should think that he came to rescue him. But how did she approach the flying fair floating in the sky 1,000m above?

For those who didn’t know that Ion had arrived using Oznia’s teleport after boosting his bike to full speed, it seemed as if he flew through the sky on his bike in an instant.

The airship’s crew did not know how to respond to this situation and turned their attention to the ship’s chief officer, Elizabeth.

And as for Elizabeth, from the moment Ion appeared on her bike, her eyes were wide open as if in surprise, and she stood there in a daze.

“Instructor Ion… ?”

It was unexpected. That he appeared here.

No matter how much he was a Continental 7 hero, he never thought that he would be able to reach the sky this high. No matter how great his strength is, he won’t be able to fly. Being able to fly to such a high place was only possible for a wizard like the scarlet sage.

Moreover, the Airship was created with the Empire’s cutting-edge technology, and magic jamming is currently unfolding around here. It was a fortress in the sky that even the Archmage could not approach.

To be honest, I thought that even if help came, it would be the knights or magicians on the ground, but I never imagined flying directly to the airship from such a high place.

Eradicating a terrorist organization and rescuing a student in the midnight forest and rescuing a princess facing an assassination threat are completely different levels of interest.

There will inevitably be attention from the outside, and there may come a situation where you can no longer hide your identity. It is considered to be one’s own faction, and it may be hostile to the person behind the assassination.

But Ion did just that. For students who haven’t met yet.

She faced the person who came to her rescue, and Elisabeth’s doubts outweighed her relief. Does he fully understand the situation? Was coming here a decision after all that?

Why?

Unlike Elisabeth, who was shocked and colorless, Ion opened his mouth with a calm expression as usual. His attitude was no different from his class.

“You are safe.”

That word came from an instructor who was concerned about the safety of his students.

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment about what answer to give him.

But before Elizabeth could answer, a commotion came from her deck.

It was Dr. Brown’s voice. The doctor greeted Ion with a much more burnt beard than before.

“No, who is this! Are you here!”

“Was there a doctor?”

“This boat is like a bastard I made myself! Of course, I have to watch my son fly up vigorously!”

“It looks like that bastard’s stomach is about to explode again….”

“According to my perfect calculations, it wouldn’t have exploded this time! By the way, thank you for coming, but I don’t know what you can do in this situation!”

Ion quickly scanned the deck. Even at this moment, the airship was gradually descending, and if it lost its balance even a little, it seemed inevitable that it would fall to the ground like a bird without wings.

As he looked around, his gaze briefly lingered on the airship’s captain, Colonel Alfred. Ion’s gaze at the captain fell coldly for a short moment, but he quickly looked away again and asked the doctor a question.

“How is the situation?”

“Not good! It’s very serious too! The biggest problem is that the engine completely gave up and the ship lost power. The flames are stronger than before, so you can’t go in anymore, and the fire is also a fire, and even if you try to repair the engine, this ship will fall before that!”

“Hmm….”

After thinking for a while, Ion strode toward the flame-filled engine room as if he had made up his mind. Dr. Brown exclaimed in horror at the reckless action.

“Are you crazy!? If you go in there naked, you’ll be a burnt corpse! And they say that you, who have no mechanical knowledge, can go in there and do something!”

“Isn’t it just a matter of supplying power to the ship?”

“What, what… ?”

There was no need to enter the engine room through the door. The explosion ripped the deck in half, so even from the deck you could clearly see the engine burning in the center of the airship.

Ion jumped through the flames without hesitation. He was so fast that he didn’t even have time to stop.

Those who watched it caught their breath in astonishment, but they didn’t hear the screams of pain from burning in the fire that they expected.

Although the academy’s instructor’s uniforms could withstand a certain level of fire like the students’ uniforms, they were by no means protective enough to protect lives in such flames. Nevertheless, Ion walked forward through the flames, seemingly unaffected by them.

Ion ignored the destroyed engine and approached the turbine attached to the engine. And he clung to the turbine, which was reddened by the flames.

Chiik!

I heard the burning of my gloves as I grabbed the turbine, which was burning like a fire. However, Ion didn’t care and pushed the turbine vigorously with his bare hands.

Queek, Chicky Geek-!

The engine stopped, so the turbine was automatically locked. However, the force was so strong that all the locks were helplessly ripped off and the turbine began to turn slowly.

Everyone watching this opened their mouths in amazement. Dr. Brown muttered blankly, too, in a voice mixed with absurdity and astonishment.

“My God… Is that really human strength?”

“Doctor. Is it that difficult? If you tell me how, I-“

“It’s a component that weighs several tons, Sir Katarina. Can you move that thing with your bare hands?”

“How many tons? That….”

I could. If only for a short while It might be possible if he concentrated all his mana on rigid body techniques to amplify his muscular strength.

But at the same time, while maintaining the magic field to protect oneself from the flames, and the magic power to amplify the muscle strength, continuously turning those heavy parts weighing several tons?

Even with Katarina, a master class, such a thing was impossible. But the man in front of me was doing it, and I didn’t even see a sign of using rigid body.

Who the hell is that? Even though the princess called him an instructor, the man was showing him what a normal instructor could never do.

Buzzing!!

The speed at which the ions turn the turbine has gradually increased. As a result, the rotation of the turbine also began to accelerate. Every time the mountain-shaking force pushed the turbine, the turbine turned hot and the airship’s hull, which had been rocking wildly, stabilized.

The crew of the airship cheered.

“Okay! I live!”

“You bastards! It’s not over yet! I don’t think everything was solved when the power came back! It wouldn’t be strange if this ship exploded right away along with the engine! We should abandon ship as soon as we land in the safest place possible!”

“Oh, I see! Doctor!”

According to Dr. Brown’s instructions, the crew began preparing for landing, moving busily. Fortunately, the cockpit and other vital parts were not destroyed, so the airship found a suitable clearing and began its slow descent, emitting black smoke.

Said Dr. Brown, looking bewildered at him.

“Oops. I’m sorry about this. I didn’t mean to take over your authority as captain.”

“It’s okay. You know more about this ship than any one captain.”

Colonel Alfred replied with a heavy nod of his head.

“Anyway, that’s a big deal.”

“Yeah, obviously a big deal. For an incident like this to happen on the day of the parade, I don’t know if my beloved airship will continue to be made in the future….”

“No, not that.”

Worrying about the airship more than the safety of the princess was a statement like Dr. Brown, who is famous as an eccentric engineer. But Alfred didn’t care at all and went on with his words.

“I didn’t expect the malevolence to intervene. I wanted to avoid taking direct action at all costs.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Huh?”

Before Dr. Brown could understand what he meant, Colonel Alfred drew his sword.

With blue mana spurting wildly from his body, he began to gallop towards Elizabeth like an arrow. The blue magic light lasted for a long time like an afterimage.

“You bastard! Dare… !”

Katarina belatedly responded to the attack. She quickly drew her sword and stood in front of Colonel Alfred, but her eyes glazed over at the deep blue sword river gushing from his sword.

Kaaang!

She responded by hastily pulling up her blade. That’s why it was possible to avoid being cut in half in one hit, but thanks to allowing her surprise attack, it was unavoidable to be pushed back significantly.

That was Alfred’s goal. There was no one to stop him now standing in front of the princess.

“Your Highness!!”

What Elizabeth saw when she looked away was her escort being thrown away at once.

“Stop-”

She opened her mouth to speak her words, but she was already too close. It was clear that Alfred’s sword would slam into Elisabeth’s throat before the words could be properly worded.

‘Ah….’

For a brief moment, she felt that death was inevitable.

In that very moment. Faster than Alfred’s sword, something fired at him. It was a bloody spear as long as a thorn.

Alfred instinctively swung his sword back at this blow, which was aimed precisely at the heart, but the immense power inherent in the spear only slightly changed its trajectory.

f*ck!!

“Aagh!!”

The spear pierced Alfred’s shoulder and flew all the way to the wall. Alfred locked himself on his deck, letting out a seething scream inside him as he opened his mouth wide in terrible pain.

Alfred’s gaze struggled to follow the direction the spear flew.

There, Ion stood tall with his arms outstretched.

Glaring at him with a cool gaze.
