Were out of time!

Damn it, breaaaaakkk!

As if this moment was the last in my life.

I focused and compressed my spread-out mana into a single point.

This kids getting scarier.

Professor Muam scowled as he looked at me.

But it cant be helped. Why? Because from now the silver devil is getting closer!

Diiiiieeeee!

Hold up, isnt die still a bit too much to your teacher?

As Professor Muam scowled and put his hand forward, water gathered and made a blue shape.

-Kagagagagagagk!

As the red beam and the blue mass collided the sound screeched throughout the first floor hallway.

Nkiuuagh!

Nhoooooo!

At the same time, I could hear screams of pain as well as the tushitushi sound from the other end of the hallway.

Why is it impossible to get used to that!

Damn it, if youve got time to talk, break through this thing!

The words tushitushi began to come nearer and nearer.

Please, cant you let us off just this once? The student council isnt here either!

Ahh, true. If the student council kids were here then even I would be having trouble.

Unlike my frantic self, Professor Muam was calm.

Damn it, someone who hadnt even been hit by that thing would never know our pain!

Pleeeeaaaaaasse!

-Do your best, Aris!

-Help me out, goddess!

-Dont wanna! I got beaten up with you last time I did!

I asked for help from the goddess that was only cheering me on from the sidelines as always, but I was instantly refused.

It seemed like the time when I didnt desummon her and got beaten up by the silver devil together had quite a large effect on her.

I, have no other choice as well!

I gave my everything to the spear.

Not just the mana that had dispersed to the surroundings, but my all, a single strike imbued with my soul!

The kids in this academy really are weird

If hed been hit just once, hed understand why.

But not knowing that, Professor Muam simply did his job to the best of his abilities.

Daaaaaammmnn iiit aalllllllll!

Our largest fighting force, the student council all vanished overniht.

At first I thought theyd run away, but according to Professor Nicerwin the entirety of the student council are at school.

And moreover, theyre eating and sleeping at school as they focus on academia!

The moment I heard that.

I realised that the student council had gone and caused something, and Professor Nicerwin solved that problem.

They were probably imprisoned somewhere in this academy right now.

And because of that our chances of victory plummeted!

Hyaaaaaahp!

The devil had already come down, any further attacks are irrelevant.

And because of that I threw my everything into a single attack , and the result

N, no way!

Uraaaaaaahhhh!

As I saw the blue mass slowly but surely split apart I felt an electrifying euphoria run through my body.

I did it!

is whatcha think!

And that euphoria quickly vanished, replaced by a fear that pierced through by body.

Sa, save me

Told ya unni doesnt kill?

The silver devil raised her hands high with a bright smile, but I had already attacked with all my strength.

Theres no way I can run away, right?

Then please, hit me as little as possible.

And so the only thing I can do is beg like this.

Wiing? Im the type t eat the tastiest things last

I looked around. Nothing. There was no one left but me.

I, I dont taste good.

Nope, you and the goddess ya contracted with are the tastiest to my hands in this entire academy. Dats somefin this goddess Arcadia can guawantee!

I got guaranteed something I never wanted confirmed.

To put it simply, that means since Im the best to hit, shes going to hit me for a long time, isnt it?

Noooooooooo!

Yes, scream and struggle like that! Thats even tastier!

I had no strength in my legs to allow me to stand up, so I tried to escape by crawling along the floor, but I couldnt proceed forward.

All I could do was wait for the devils mercy, that was watching my struggles with an evil grin.

It was then.

Uwaaaa!

Run! Whatever you do, keep running!

Its the devil, the devil dead ahead!

A group clad in pyjamas came screaming down from the second floor.

But even from afar, any student of Yugrasia would recognise them as the student council.

Wiing? Here alweady?

As I saw the devils two eyes sparkle, I realised.

Ahhh I have been saved.

I, am no longer the last to be eaten!

What a shame

As I looked at the silver devil licking her chops, I was certain that I had been saved.

Hmm then unni, lets play with me some more later?

I dont want to. Even if the world was to end, I will not play with you.

As I saw the tiny fist come closer as I made that resolve, I could fall into a peaceful rest with just one punch.

The next day.

I heard the story of what had happened to my knights on a white horse or rather sandbags in pyjamas that were the student council from Professor Nicerwin.

And I decided to be thankful of the fact, that I could go to school.

#12 Their story: A certain student council presidents story

Alright, advance scouts, lead the way.

Using a simple light magic, we began descending the dark stairs.

This academy was seriously screwed in all sorts of ways to the point where I was wondering whether I was going to the academy or exploring an ancient ruin.

What if we never realised that this was the schools rooftop from Risens brave leap of faith?

How much longer would we have searched the ceiling for the escape route?

No hang on, even before that.

Just what was Professor Nicerwin thinking to remodel the academys rooftop like this?

Was he anticipating that we would be truant?

Then in that case, couldnt he have treated us all a tiny bit more humanely so we wouldnt have to do this to begin with?

But what could we do.

The enemy was the master of the silver devil, the successor of the evil god.

And because of that all we can do is run away.

Like Lady Aris said, lets be satisfied that we graduate in a year, no, half a year from now.

Pres, over there

Yeah, thats a door that looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.

Was it there because this was the rooftop.

A blatantly suspicious wooden door was embedded into the floor.

But since its the first door weve seen so far, we need to open it right?

True. We need to escape.

But pres, that door looks way to suspicious.

Also true.

It looked like a door that led outdoors, but was that truly the door that would let us leave?

Might it instead be a door that leads to hell, or even heaven?

We have no choice. We have to open it.

But we cant give up on our only lead so far.

What Professor Nicerwin had always done was set out bait that we would have to approach no matter how much we knew we would be hooked.

Whos opening it?

Ill open it. If anything happens to me, ditch me and run.

With a solemn face, one of the student council members approached the wooden door and gripped the handle.

And with a solemn face he said to us.

Its not opening?

Are you sure its not a push door?

No, I pushed and pulled. Its not opening?

I pushed and pulled on the door myself but the door showed no sign of moving.

Is it just a decoration?

It might have a special mechanism like the blank pages. Try adding magic power to it.

Theres no response no matter how much we put in!

Is it actually just a decoration?

Was a very classy looking door, but it didnt open.

Hang on a minute, everyone think like Professor Nicerwin would.

Throw away your feelings as a human?

Yes, abandon all your feelings as a human, think only with a heart full of evil.

We even thought from Professor Nicerwins point of view as we glared at the door.

Theres a door just outright sitting here. But it doesnt open. If you were Professor Nicerwin, what kind of contraption would he have installed in here to screw us all over?

Might it actually be Professor Nicerwins will for us to just sit here and put our heads together?

No, would the devil be satisfied with just that? I honestly think its more likely that this door is actually a real one?

Same here. Theres probably another way for us to open this door.

Sunbaes, do you reckon that Professor Nicerwin anticipated all this and just carved out the shape of a door in the floor, and stuck a handle to it?

We cant leave that option out either.

Think of all the ways that we might smack the ground in rage later.

When we realised it a bit further out, we were all under Professor Nicerwins spell and were all dreaming.

And when we came to we were all in bed sleeping the exact same dream? What the hell. Thats scary but if its Professor Nicerwin I think it actually might be possible?

There honestly cant be any bullshittier bullshit than this.

But the thought that if it was linked to Professor Nicerwin, it might actually be possible had us all in goosebumps.

Uuu should we pinch ourselves?

No, if its Professor Nicerwin I think he could make it hurt even if we pinched ourselves in our dreams.

Yeah, or developed a device with Black Anvil to do something like that.

Honestly when you talk about dreams youd think of that legendary demon, the succubus, but it sounds oddly convincing when you mention the Black Anvil.

It doesnt seem anything is impossible for Made in Black Anvil, after all.

What can I say, although our delusions of the Black Anvil seemed to be getting more and more out of proportion, but.

It cant be helped? The space we were currently in was more likely than not built by the Black Anvil clan as well.

Any other opinions?

I looked around, but it didnt seem like there were any other opinions.

Was it because the it was all just a dream! theory just too strong?

I just thought of something else.

What is it?

The secretary who normally had no presence, and had no particular features to speak of other than his spectacles raised his hand.

This is the space between the rooftop and the tenth floor, and when we consider that door is the exit, that door would probably be the ceiling of the tenth floor, right?

It would.

Even if we havent been on the rooftop this entire semester, we still used a lot of the classrooms on the tenth floor.

Now that I thought about it, it was true.

Even if the rooftop was off-limits, the tenth floor was where the special classrooms that were used for a lot of different classes were located.

In that case, wouldnt a simple push or pull be too simple of a method to open it?

But its the Black Anvil?

Ah

But another stuco member shut down the secretary when he was about to say something.

Black Anvil. Those were magic words.

The secretary whod taken a critical hit with that magic seemed to struggle a bit with his mouth closed, before nodding as if he had accepted it.

Should I just stop talking?

No, say what you were going to say.

Although it seemed like his confidence had dropped because of Black Anvil, but since his words were the most realistic wed heard so far I decided to hear him out to the end.

Then might this door just be a simple push door as well?

We tried pushing it earlier but it didnt work?

Not like that, to the side.

At his reasonable words, people immediately jumped up and pulled the door sideways.

Click.

Huh? Wasnt there a noise?

Is this for real? Was it seriously to the side!

You did it, secretary sunbae! To be honest you had no presence beside the treasurer sunbae!

Yeah, at least we saw the treasurer sunbae a lot because of finance stuff, but since we never had to see the secretary at all, you had even less presence, but you finally did it!

Shut up, you morons! I have no presence because Im always cleaning up after those idiots we call vice-presidents whenever they do something stupid!

As we pulled the door handle with grunts, the gap widened as we could see a faint light through the crack.

We can finally escape!

Dont let your guards down! We still dont know what might come out!

Finally, there was enough room for one person to fit through.

And as I, the representative and the leader went through the gap first.

You arrived quicker than I expected.

Sitting at the table with a smile that looked sagacious only on the outside, was Professor Nicerwin waiting for me!

Oi, close it! Ditch the pres and shut the door!

And the other student council members immediately abandoned abandoned me and shut the door the moment they saw Professor Nicerwin!

Dont close it! Dont close it and get your butts down here you assholes!

And after a twenty minute fight began between those who sought to open the door and those who sought to close it.

And in the end, I literally kicked the other traitor student council members asses and pushed them in front of Professor Nicerwin.
