Just a little bit, time rewinds.
Right after sensing the presence of Demon Abel, instructions were given to Teacher Oswald.
One of the teachers, Anon, summoned a tiny spider Summoned beast and placed it on his palm.
ㅤ
“Can you hear me. . . . . .It’s an emergency.”
ㅤ
A thread extended from the rear of the young spider.
It’s a Summoned beast with the ability to remotely communicate through the thread by wrapping it around a person’s hand or foot in advance, like a 『thread telephone』.
Anon explained the situation to several lead teachers.
ㅤ
“Return to the academy immediately. Prepare B-class and above students for battle. I leave the selection of participants to you. Hurry back.”
ㅤ
Anon’s message was relayed to the teachers and quickly passed on to the students.
The exercise is cancelled. Preparations for demon subjugation begin.
And then, the central student in the exercise, Esterize, raised her hand.
ㅤ
“Teacher. I would like to take command.”
ㅤ
One of the teachers, Jack, pondered.
Esterize is an A-class Summoner. Jack is B-class, so she ranks higher. . . . . .but she’s still a student.
However, entrusting command to a summoner who will shoulder the future isn’t a bad idea. Moreover, the demon appeared at Asgard Summoning Academy.
At Asgard Summoning Academy, there are twenty-one of the strongest summoners, who are special A-class.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Understood. A-class Summoner Esterize. I grant you the authority to command the demon interception.”
“Thank you. So then. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Esterize addressed the B-class Summoners gathered at the training ground.
ㅤ
“As you’ve heard. We’re returning to the academy to subjugate the demon! Everyone, prepare for battle!”
ㅤ
Esterize’s resonating voice was very reassuring.
The students saluted in unison and lined up with their bare essentials.
Esterize spoke to her younger brother, Fugil.
ㅤ
“Fugil. Release your Summoned beast.”
“Yes, sister.”
ㅤ
Fugil’s Summoned beast, 『Golem』, is a five-meter-tall rock giant.
At Fugil’s command, its body disassembled and began to transform.
With the golem’s ability 『Reassembly』, the golem transformed into a large rock cart with wheels.
ㅤ
“Full speed to the academy.”
“Yes!! Everyone, get on! We’re departing immediately!”
ㅤ
The summoners boarded the golem, and at Fugil’s command, the rock cart started moving.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
It was only thirty minutes later when Esterize and the others arrived at the academy.
Fugil, drenched in sweat and pale, was panting heavily.
Without acknowledging her brother’s condition, Esterize, with the B-class Summoners, headed inside the school building.
In the conference room were Oswald, Faruo, and several other teachers.
Oswald was clapping his hands. . . . . .He had captured Laby but she had managed to escape.
ㅤ
“I’ll give you back command.”
“No, Esterize Rushout. I’m going to give you command right now. Do whatever you want.”
“Okay. Now, let’s talk about the situation.”
“Hmm. Teacher Faluo.”
“. . . . . .Yes.”
ㅤ
Falou looked a little downcast, but he explained the situation.
ㅤ
“Currently, the demon is in the F-class school building. . . . . .it seems like he’s playing with. . . . . .the F-class students.”
“F-class?! . . . . . .Then, Albero?!”
ㅤ
The one who shouted was Ashe.
Ashe was about to run, but Grits grabbed her.
ㅤ
“We’re not done talking. Be quiet.”
“B, But!! Albero. . . . . .”
“Okay, just be quiet.”
“Let go!!”
ㅤ
Ashe goes wild trying to let go of Grits’ arm. Then, Esterize approaches.
Esterize gently grabs Ashe’s arm.
ㅤ
“Esterize-san. . . . . .Albero, I have to go to Albero!!”
“Calm down, Ashe. . . . . .I need to check the situation first.”
“But!!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
“Uh. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Esterize gently hugged Ashe.
Then, after patting her head a few times, she gently lets go.
Esterize said in a voice that echoed throughout the conference room.
ㅤ
“From now on, we will carry out demon subjugation. The 4th and 3rd year students, including myself, will be on the front lines. The 2nd and 1st year will support us.”
“””””Yes!!”””””
ㅤ
Form a formation with Esterize at the center, and everyone heads towards the F-class school building.
Then, they saw a strange creature with black skin, white hair, and horns repeatedly slaughtering F-class students.
Ashe saw it.
Albero. . . . . . . . . . . .saw his childhood friend, a boy, dragging his injured body.
ㅤ
“Albe━”
“Ashe, don’t move.”
“. . . . . .Esterize-san.”
“It’s okay. Look, that demon is controlling white flames from both of its hands. Also. . . . . .it seems like it kills boys and eats girls. Everyone knows that demon’s attack pattern. Take a good look.”
“Esterize-san!! We need to help him quickly!!”
“It’s okay. Calm down.”
“. . . . . .Eh.”
ㅤ
Esterize only says it’s okay.
In a gentle voice, as if admonishing. . . . . .Esterize had no intention of helping the F-class student.
Ashe couldn’t take it anymore.
ㅤ
“Esterize-san, I can’t━━”
“Sonia.”
“─── Ugh.”
ㅤ
A needle was stuck in Ashe’s neck as she tried to jump out.
And then, Ashe becomes unconscious.
For some reason, there was a blonde girl behind Ashe, and she felt like there was a bee flying nearby.
Ashe’s consciousness was already drowsy.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Albero?”
ㅤ
Albero was looking at Ashe.
Ashe couldn’t stand Albero’s heated gaze. . . . . .and looked away.
A fluffy feeling spreads through Ashe’s chest.
ㅤ
“If all the F-class students are wiped out, we will step in. After that, with Larcid at the center, both the fourth-year and third-year students will also join, while the rest will provide support.”
“Yes, sister.”
“Sister, I am.”
“Fugil. You need support. You’re pretty tired from overworking Golem.”
“Kkk. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Esterize, Larcid, and Fugil. . . . . .all didn’t even pay attention even though their own brother was dying.
And then Laby died. . . . . .Albero’s heart was also gouged out.
Esterize pulls out the sword from her waist and raises it.
ㅤ
“From now on, we will carry out demon subjugation!! Don’t be afraid!! Follow me!!”
“””””Ooooooo!!”””””
ㅤ
Esterize jumps out, and Larcid and B-class Summoner summon a Summoned beast.
Demon Abel moved away from Albero and Laby and wrapped his hands in white flames.
ㅤ
“It came. It came♪ Lots of tasty meat ♪.”
ㅤ
He licks his tongue and tries to intercept Esterize as she approaches.
Esterize also runs with her sword raised and tries to summon her own Summoned beast.
ㅤ
The battle has begun━━.
