Episode 44. Please stop!!

Maris is a place that transcends borders and races.

In order to put that ideology into practice, this academy always insisted on equality and fairness, but ironically, that concept only applied to each other’s origins.

The leadership of this world is in a state of arrogance that each other’s superiority and inferiority are determined from birth.

The incident that took place right after the entrance ceremony originated from an attempt to overturn that system in a short period of time.

“Stop the nonsense!! No matter who sees it, this fight is that child’s victory! Are your eyes hung with decorations!?”

So the current friction must be inevitable.

The ruling class that has been suppressed all along.

To be disillusioned with and repulsive towards those who suppress even the victory of a boy who would at best be their spokesperson.

“Yeah, that’s right. Anyone can see that the guy named Dale won the fight just now!”

Students from the normal class stood up one by one with such shouting.

Until now, they have been suppressed by their position and power, but only now, all of them are united and display courage.

“Stop pushing yourself! Why are you going so far and not acknowledging the outcome of this fight!?”

“If you were going to raise your objection, you should have done it from the beginning. Why are you arguing about it now when you’ve been watching it until the end!?”

Of course, I couldn’t say there was no fear at all.

Right now, their voices are shaking a lot, and there are students who are still hesitant to stand up.

However, as the number of students expressing sympathy increased, their confidence was ignited.

Since there are many things that have been suppressed all this time, this current situation will be considered an opportunity for them.

For the first time, the have-nots have triumphed over the haves…

They will never want to miss an opportunity that will never come again.

“Ha! That’s why they are the people of heaven.”

“Do you think this is a savage fight you guys only do in the streets?”

Of course, he will be considered cute by nobles.

Do you dare to go against them without even knowing the subject, and can you really take responsibility for that attitude? And

“This is definitely a duel. A match played under fair rules!”

“But what the hell did that commoner do? It wasn’t enough to get the position of the chief with cowardly measures, and he did nonsense even in the actual battle. The durability of the bracelet has already run out, so I kept dragging out the time to do that trick!”

“What do you think will change if you insist on the result of pushing so hard!?”

“You guys are the ones who are making ridiculous statements!!!”

“People say they are commoners in the first place, but what do you think the kids you wrap around are different!?”

Of course, the fact that their argument is unreasonable means that they are confident that they have watched all the fights.

That’s why common students would desperately refute them, but unfortunately I couldn’t see this situation positively.

Because my experience so far has been telling me.

No matter how unfair the treatment they suffered was.

If you leave the solution to cover it up to chance, you’ll screw everything up.

“Yes! In the first place, Jugret is a war criminal family!”

Damn it.

I like the refutation, but this goes too deep.

The reason why the baseball club’s reorganization failed in the first place was because of such a hasty decision.

“War criminals, that is…” . What the hell…….”

But was the effect as clear as that?

At that cry, the atmosphere of the aristocratic students, who had been shouting before, instantly stiffened, and soon the corner of the mouth of the student who had refuted in the first place stood up.

“Why did I say something wrong? It’s a fact everyone here knows. How many people did Jugret family kill in the war in the first place!”

“For victory, I used to kill enemies and allies. All for their own sake!!”

“They said that the son of the lord of my hometown was also caught up in Jugret’s operation and died. It was the father of that girl over there who was killing nobles and whatever!”

Students who put more power into that opinion.

I’ve reached a point where the level is over the limit, but maybe I can stop this overheated scene now.

Because the kids are still fighting.

Children’s fights that adults can stop.

So, in this place full of teachers, you can fully control it…

-Pazu that is.

…So crazy.

What is that bastard doing now?

“Sensei Seine!”

“Yes, I did.”

Sensei Lloyd, like me, noticed sparks bouncing from the aristocratic stone.

I was afraid to notice that, and his body quickly blocked the flash of light flying from the Noble Stone side.

Lightning Bomber.

A technique that can be classified as ‘killing magic’ by exploding high-temperature electric current at the point of impact.

-Perong!

I ran straight to the attack and deflected it with my hand, and the current spreading from it was blocked by the shield developed by Lloyd-sensei.

Fortunately, there was no damage to the students behind them.

But the important thing now is not that there are no injuries.

“I understand how you feel, but don’t you think it’s too much to lay hands on students?”

After shaking off the tingling sensation in my hands, I glared at the author who was standing on the other side and stretching out his hand.

One of the teachers sitting where the nobles sit.

The slight spark in his hand taught him that the magic he had previously used had come from his hand.

“Heh heh, I’m sorry for this. I was just shooting at an empty spot to give a warning, but it seems I misunderstood the teachers there.”

Ah, yes. I remember that face.

Obviously, when I first came to this academy, he was one of the writers I picked out, saying he was from a commoner or something.

A writer who can feel the sense of choice according to his position even just by looking at him.

“…Misunderstood, and a teacher who used magic against students. Can you handle this?”

No matter what, it was a situation where, on the surface, ‘the teacher used magic on the student’.

As there are thousands of witnesses, it is inevitable that a disciplinary committee will be convened.

“That, too, is something we have to endure. As a teacher, how can we go over without using our hands in a situation where we have to scold those who became our students?”

Even so, the opponent had room to spare.

As if there is room for avoiding responsibility for what happened.

No, going even further, as if taking a hand in this situation was an opportunity.

“The Jugret family is none other than an honorable family that has supported the Empire’s military forces for half a century. Their dirty hands are also for the sake of the national interest… Even if they do something dangerous in the process, it is an era of peace. Now that I’m gone, I’ll have to move on, burying all of that in the past.”

Yes, that’s right.

No matter how much Marquis Jugret committed all sorts of bullsh*t for the sake of the cause, in war it must be regarded as justice.

It is wrong to judge the past with today’s standards when the war is over.

It could be said that it is a teacher’s job to scold students who don’t know that.

“Did he threaten you with magic to teach you that?”

However, that is limited to the category of ‘education’.

If you made a mistake, you can correct it, but if you use violence first before explaining, how is that different from declaring that you will suppress your rebellion with force?

“It’s obvious that you won’t listen anyway, so shouldn’t you consider excessive means?”

You can clearly see what the talking cod is thinking.

I want to swear at least in my heart, but if I say it with my mouth, will that person hear it?

In the first place, the opponent already defined the people in front of me as lower than himself, as lowly beings who couldn’t go against a superior born.

“That’s…”

“Are you concluding that it’s impossible to even talk to these kids right now?”

The moment I was about to let out that irritation, I heard a shout.

I thought it was Mr. Lloyd for a moment, but he was just watching the situation.

The one who shouted was in the other direction of the audience.

It was a place where teachers from the common people who took their place in the opposite position to them were lined up.

“If you were going to claim that, you could have done it in words. It wasn’t something to terrorize children by using magic!!”

“Yes! A teacher who became a teacher uses violence against students!! Shame on you!!”

Soon after, the teachers got up from the common seats and argued.

It was the other teachers who supported the noble teacher who used magic to stand up in response to their reaction.

“Huh, are you protecting children who have done wrong?”

“It seems like you have sympathy for them, probably because they come from the same background, but you still have to distinguish between public life and life. If you’re a teacher, you should treat all students equally…….”

“Equality? Are you saying that now? It was the children around you who started in the first place!”

“Heh heh, you should look at that differently. The reason these children came out in the first place was purely because the young lady of Jugret was the victim…….”

“What does being a young lady have to do with this situation? In the first place, this fight was won by that kid! They didn’t admit it, so it led to this division!”

“Status, Status!! Please stop it! What does it matter if you are a commoner or a noble!

“You guys are still teachers!?”

Even teachers from commoners rebel against teachers from aristocrats…

That was completely unexpected even for me.

At best, what was thought to end with friction between the students has spread to a fight between the teachers…

Does that mean that the opponent has crossed the line?

Intoxicated with my arrogance, mad at me for threatening their apprentice?

“I mean the kids here are working hard too, we came all the way to this place by working hard too!”

“I’m fed up with splitting sides with teachers from the same school in the first place!! Stop now!”

No, not purely for children.

Just as people from aristocrats laughed at them because they were tired of the chosen people, even adults who have been ignored all along see this as an opportunity.

And how adults’ attitudes greatly affect children.

“Yes!! I’m tired of living under the pressure of nobles now!”

“We are students too! Respect them as students just like you!!”

The moment when students from commoners gained strength from teachers’ shouts and stood up.

From noble mtl dot com

The aristocratic students who couldn’t see it started to open their mouths in a huff.

“These lowly things…!!”

“They’re saying you’re ignorant bastards because you’re standing up like this!”

The brawl escalates to the point where the entire gymnasium leaves…

No, it’s not even an argument anymore.

What comes out of thousands of mouths is just a riot of emotions.

The wave of madness that resulted from that must be sure to roar through this gymnasium until it is stopped from the outside.

“Mr. Seine.”

But who is going to stop this situation right now?

Mr. Lloyd, confused and looking at me with dangerous eyes?

Or me?

“…Mr. Lloyd, please guard this place. It will be difficult if magic comes flying again.”

No, there’s no way I could stop this by myself in the first place.

I don’t think so.

“What? What about the teacher…”

“Because the children who are hurt the most right now are different.”

Yes, it’s really common.

Whatever the reason and purpose.

The fact that the people who prepared the opportunity to become nothing at some point.

“What the hell.”

After a while, I turned my back on the chaotic scene and looked back at a girl as I headed from the stands to the stairs leading to the gymnasium.

Bean Juggret.

The girl who has always pursued only the ambition to stand at the top must not understand this situation properly.

“Why, you guys got into a fight. In the first place, this duel was me and that kid…….”

Ironically, such a girl’s interest was not directed at insults towards her family.

No matter how much my father cursed at her, wasn’t there something someone had to do?

As much as she prepared for that and got her hands dirty, if she were a daughter who inherited that ideology, she would have been prepared to accept the malice against her.

“This duel is between me and that kid! But, why are you guys fighting!!!”

Yes, so what I can’t stand is that the intentions of this duel have been tainted.

I didn’t know the reason and expressed my anger, but no one at the scene of this mess listened to the girl’s words.

“Stop.”

And it was the same for the boy who stood on the opposite side of the girl.

“Everyone, stop. Why are you fighting? Why… ….”

But rather than being angry at them, the boy was trying to dissuade them.

Isn’t this the child who believed that he could be friends with the children who persecuted him?

There was no way that boy could have liked to see people who had nothing to do with him suddenly getting into a fight in such a yard.

“Everyone don’t do this! Don’t fight, be friendly with each other…….”

“Shut up, commoners!”

As if the sound was annoying, one of the noble students threw something.

A metal cup that hits the head in a parabolic arc.

The moment Dale’s head twisted, his molars gained strength, but in the end he restrained himself from running into them.

“Are you insane!?”

“What the hell did that kid do wrong!!”

Those who noticed such a joke reacted immediately, but no one rushed at the boy who had been hit on the head.

Yes, to them, that boy is not a savior, but an opportunity to improve my circumstances through an excuse.

I hated even that appearance, but I finally suppressed that feeling and prepared to step into the stairs leading to the gymnasium.

Because I know that if I jump into this fight right here, I’ll become the same guy.

As long as you don’t have enough power to make everyone here shut up without empty words.

After living on the battlefield for 10 years, he realized that there was nothing to be gained from a muddy fight where they were just criticizing each other.

“Why… ….”

But I don’t even have that kind of experience.

How will this confusing situation look to that ignorant boy?

“Why did this happen?”

It will just feel scary and confusing.

To the boy, the world was a beautiful thing.

To the boy who had previously seen beauty in phenomena reminiscent of disasters, everything he encountered on the ground was what it should be.

“Is it because of me?”

So you’ll blame yourself first.

I don’t know why, but I’m here, and my presence makes them angry.

Since it eventually escalated into a fight, you might be anxious that all of this happened because of you.

“Is everyone fighting like this because of me?”

No, it’s not your fault.

It’s just that the world is like this. You’re just unluckily stuck there.

So it’s okay, it’s just a matter of time and patience.

It wasn’t long before I set foot on the stairs leading to the gymnasium while chewing on those words of comfort.

“…… Uh?”

Stop it.

At some point, I realized that my bodily sensations had changed, and my steps on the stairs stopped.

What is this sense?

As if something that originally existed had disappeared…….

“What is this?”

“What… ….”

As if to teach me that I wasn’t the only one who felt it, some of the rioters calmed down and began to look down at their bodies.

Yes, I am not alone.

This is a widespread phenomenon. It hit the entire gym, including me.

I could immediately figure out what the cause was.

‘Mana has disappeared.’

Remnants of mana that are unconsciously drawn to you.

The physical force derived from it tends to stimulate the human body, albeit slightly, but all of that has disappeared at this moment.

But how?

Isn’t it impossible to completely disappear the mana that was drawn to unconsciousness, unless it becomes a corpse?

“Is it because I was wrong…… ?”

No, there is only one.

With that boy’s power, it is possible to erase all the mana of exposed people.

And that child’s power is an abnormal ability. As of now, it is an unknown border where even the cause cannot be grasped.

Like mana, it is controlled by one’s own will, but it cannot be said that everything is the same.

It is quite possible that the range reacts more excessively to one’s own emotions, and as a result, the range expands to make ‘the whole area’ the sphere of influence.

-Jajeok.

A chill went down my spine as soon as I realized it, and before long, my head hurriedly bent toward the sky.

The glass dome covering the sky in this gymnasium.

– Damn it.

The surface area is supplied with mana through underground water veins and guaranteed durability.

A crack is being inflicted that should never have occurred.

“This crazy… ….”

The moment when the tired mind is awakened in an instant.

At that moment, my footsteps, which were about to head for the stairs, turned around and headed for the banister of the audience.

“I thought I would come to this school for no reason… …. Is that why everyone fights like this?”

“No Dale.”

You didn’t do anything wrong.

It’s just that it could have exploded at any time if there was an opportunity.

“I was wrong… so, please…”

So calm down.

– Damn it.

Please calm down.

“Don’t fight. Please… ….”

“Harsion!! Protect Beans!!!”

The moment I grasped the situation, a scream burst out in a hurry.

My legs tingled from jumping down the whole flight of stairs with him, but now is not the time to worry about that.

– Blame it!

Even in the midst of that, the sky is splitting.

Everything that exists below is being targeted.

“Now, stop… ….”

Nevertheless, the crowd, unaware of it, is making noise and deafening the boy.

“Please, stop it!!!!”

Crying burst out from his mouth, unable to bear the pain.

– Clink!!

As if that resonant becomes a wedge.

The glass membrane, unable to withstand its own weight, split into countless pieces and began to fall.
