88 – Assault – 3

“Okay. Then, Ike-kun, take this.”

“This is… ?”

“You never know how things will turn out when you go to the field, so be sure to keep it with you.”

What Ender handed to Ike was a red jewel the size of a fingernail.

“The usage is simple. If you hold it in your hand and send magic power, a signal will come to me.”

Ender’s left hand held the same blue jewel the size of a fingernail.

When Ike sent magic to the red jewel as a test, the blue jewel shone and vibrated.

“It’s a communication device that uses the principle of a magical mailbox. If you happen to find something related to Avatar when you take on different roles in the field, please send me a signal.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Of course I hope that doesn’t happen. If this is what they did…. I don’t even want to imagine.”

A demon is a creature that is an enemy not only to the Astraian Empire but to all mankind.

The meaning of controlling such things was no different from turning the continent into an enemy.

But to think of it the other way around, it was the same as saying that the organization called Avatar was that dangerous.

Please don’t let anything happen.

Ender prayed like that and climbed into a different wagon from his students.

And after arriving at the fort.

A blue light leaked out of Ender’s pouch as he and the professors were heading to the front line.

“Hmm?”

According to Guile’s words, the team split up and only about 20 minutes had passed at most.

I wondered if Ike had sent magic to the jewel by mistake.

“… What is this?”

It was easy for Ender to figure out that wasn’t the case.

Originally, a jewel that should have stopped after sending a signal for about 2-3 seconds.

Geeyeee

Because it was ringing like crazy.

“Everyone, wait a minute.”

At Ender’s words, the professors stopped and looked at him.

“I think I need to leave for a while, is that okay?”

“Yes? What is that?”

“Looks like I don’t have time to go into detail.”

Even at this moment, Ender’s blue jewel was constantly ringing.

This signal was too serious to be called a joke.

“… Is your reason for leaving your seat more important than supporting the front line where countless monsters are flocking?”

“Yes.”

“Whoa.”

At those words, all the professors who were looking at Ender sighed.

“Okay.”

But no one stopped him.

As if Ender could be trusted no matter what he did.

“If the dean is talking about it, there must be a reason.”

“Thank you everyone.”

Seeing the professors like that, Ender bowed slightly to say hello, then put wind around his feet.

And Ender, who started moving forward as a silver flash, prayed quietly.

Please.

From nob le mt l dot com

Please, nothing happens.

Following the magic power emitted by Ike’s jewel, Ender sprinted with all his might.

An intuition that he shouldn’t delay even for a second ran through his spine.

And when Ender arrived at the place, he couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes.

Raina and Helen passed out on the floor.

Anyone can see that Ike is seriously injured and is in despair.

Andrew was last knocked down by a huge tree, his right arm severed and his blood dripping.

“No, no… !”

Ender cursed his judgment at the sight.

I heard from Ike what kind of organization Avatar was.

And I expected that Avatar could be involved in this incident.

Then, no matter how many requests for support came in, students couldn’t be dragged in.

No matter how talented the students were, they should never have made such a judgment.

The decision itself to organize support troops other than professors was a mistake.

Of course, Ender wasn’t without excuses.

In the first place, there is an organization called the Knights and the Mage Tower, but why is there a major in Arcana called swordsmanship and magic?

There is also a reason to slowly step through the stages before joining the Knights and the Mage Tower.

There was also a reason to use the fact that Arcana is close to public education, to easily distinguish manpower that can be immediately recruited with full force in case of emergency.

In other words, it meant that there was no problem with Ender’s choice itself to respond to the ‘sudden mass appearance of monsters’, which was the premise of this case.

But that excuse didn’t even come to Ender’s mind.

He was only cursing his mistakes.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Ike.”

She is a woman who is running at breakneck speed towards Andrew, who seems to be having a hard time even breathing.

In her movements, she clearly had the will to live and kill Andrew.

Her appearance was young enough to say that she was a girl, but it was clear that she was the culprit behind this spectacle and had something to do with Avatar.

So, no matter how young she looks.

“I’m so sorry, everyone.”

To Ender, that opponent was an enemy in name and reality.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, clear water was covering my entire body.

“Healing magic. Rest there.”

To be precise, it wasn’t just me.

Looking around, Reina, Helen, and Andrew seniors were also enchanted.

However, it did not interfere with my breathing at all, and I did not feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, the pain started to subside with a cool sensation.

“Hmm.”

As soon as Es, who was about to kill Senior Andrew, was blocked by the attack by Dean Ender, she immediately backed away from her, then she stood still without taking any action.

“… I never expected that it would take such a big deal.”

However, S’ smile did not change at all.

As if you are enjoying the current situation.

“You. Ender Arcana, right?”

“So, are you affiliated with Avatar?”

“Puha!”

S suddenly burst into laughter after hearing Dean Ender’s words.

Then, after removing the gloves she had been wearing, she showed the back of her hand to Dean Ender.

“Right. That’s correct.”

The thing drawn on the back of her hand is the symbol of Avatar.

It was the pattern of a snake strangling a lion and a thorny vine.

“I am S. Cruel belonging to Avatar. I wish you well.”

As soon as the words were finished.

“Then go?”

The battle has begun again.

After bringing us together, Dean Ender cast healing and protection magic at the same time.

Although all three of them passed out except for me.

“Really.”

The fight between Dean Ender and S was fierce without giving up an inch.

The Dean of Ender, who combines and ejects numerous magics, storm-like attacks, and S, who evades such attacks and stabs them sharply.

It was literally a battle that there was no way I could intervene with my skills.

“Really, that’s great.”

I knew I wasn’t in a position to say such a thing, but admiration came out naturally.

The Dean of Arcana, Ender Arcana.

In the original work, he played the role of a helper for Leon and Sofia, and there was no separate scene in which he was active.

However, in the setting that the writer solved after the completion, it is revealed that Dean Ender is a person who can compete well with Rex.

I wondered why such a talented person ended up as a simple helper in the work, but that wasn’t what was important to me.

The reason why I requested cooperation from Dean Ender.

In a situation where the future is different from the original, I heard that the decisive battle with Avatar would be more difficult, so I needed a little more solid fighting power.

In such a situation, Dean Ender was the best ally within the information I knew.

“The number of consecutive moves is 3. Travel distance up to 15 m. Is the required rest period 11 seconds?”

“How the hell do you know and stop it? Ike, I don’t think that guy taught you anything.”

Even with S’s attack using teleportation, Dean Ender was only a little flustered at first.

After receiving several attacks, he did not allow S to attack even once, as if he had perfectly adapted.

“If a situation arises that you cannot understand, understanding that it is an incomprehensible situation is the foundation of magic. In the first place, if we assume that you are the ones controlling the monsters, it’s just that people teleport. Well, it’s nothing.”

“Puha! What is it. Nonsense.”

To be honest, S had a different reason for what he said, but he could sympathize with it to some extent.

In a fight between a knight and a wizard, the reason why the knight wins is because the wizard’s attack needs time to warm up.

As far as I know, there are no exceptions.

There is only one way to make up for such a weakness.

Last year, as shown by Reina, restraining the opponent’s movement with weak firepower magic and then digging into gaps.

But even that wasn’t all-round.

In the first place, having to approach the opponent for digging in gaps was a loss even for a wizard, and weak firepower means that it is difficult to inflict fatal wounds on the opponent.

Wasn’t last year’s Reina eventually defeated by me for that reason?

Then what is this scene now?

“Are you a real wizard?”

“I was once the owner of the Mage Tower, so wouldn’t it be true that I was a wizard? Right now I am the dean of Arcana.”

“You are very different from the wizard I know.”

Ice pours from the sky, lava gushes from the floor, and blades of wind blow from all directions.

An attack like a natural disaster.

And most of it was silent chanting, and occasionally, it was all about reciting the name of the magic.

When S somehow managed to avoid those attacks and tried to break through, Dean Ender immediately twisted the flow of magical power and strengthened the body to counterattack, and even that was smooth without any awkwardness at all.

It’s the exact opposite style of Leon, who fights by strengthening his body and then uses magic at the decisive moment.

It’s similar to Reina, who used weak firepower magic to keep her in check and at the same time dig into gaps, but in a different way.

That’s also a perfect completion unlike the two who are still immature.

It was only when I saw this situation that I could understand why Dean Ender couldn’t play an active part in the original story.

If he had gone to the front, Avatar would have fallen too easily.

“Hey!”

S moved in front of Dean Ender and held out his palm.

However, Dean Ender shrewdly twisted his body to evade the attack, then slammed his palm and aimed at S’s chin.

It was obviously a perfect counterattack, but S instantly backed away using teleportation.

“I don’t think we will win.”

“Okay. I think it has been decided to some extent.”

Certainly unlike the calm Dean Ender, Es was gasping for breath little by little.

Having pointed out that fact, S smiled and nodded his head.

“Right. She honestly has no confidence to win. If I keep going like this, I’m sure I’ll lose 100%. After all, you are different from him.”

“… What?”

“You know him? She is a former saintess. That, was her name Elena or Selena?”

Wait a minute.

“What are you talking about?”

“You mean it?”

The corner of S’ mouth saying that.

“The person who killed the former saintess is me.”

She didn’t even go down very slightly.
