𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 – 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐
“You’ve gone too far, idiot.”
“. . . . . .I’m sorry.”
ㅤ
In the waiting room.
Ridelle was feeling down.
It was a decisive victory. But. . . . . .it was a terribly brutal match.
Avoid is critically injured. Even if he recovers, he’ll be bedridden for life.
Carla is also critically injured. Her right arm was blown off, and she suffered severe burns all over her body.
Raven is also critically injured. He was taken to the medical room, nearly bleeding out.
ㅤ
“Hey, Ridelle. . . . . .you were super strong.”
“Uhm. . . . . .It reminded me of my fight with Teacher Damocles. He’s really strong, so I didn’t hold back and went all out. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Albero was a bit taken aback.
Despite winning, Ridelle was downcast. Ashe and Lapis couldn’t find the words to console her, and Leivinia and Nisrok said they were bored and went to sleep.
Then, Yorha entered the waiting room.
ㅤ
“Ridelle, good job. That was quite the match. . . . . .What’s wrong?”
“As you can see, I’m reflecting on overdoing it.”
ㅤ
Ridelle looked downcast.
As Albero tried to comfort her.
ㅤ
“Ah, the three from the Student Council are fine. Dr. Ripper fixed them up completely.”
“Eh! Is that true?”
“Yeah. As long as there’s a piece of flesh, he can heal even the most mutilated bodies. And if they’ve been dead for less than a day, he can even resurrect them.”
“He’s a monster.”
“Well, there are some constraints, but you don’t have to be too down.”
“. . . . . .Okay.”
ㅤ
Ridelle finally smiled.
Yorha showed a mischievous grin.
ㅤ
“Well. . . . . .we’ve certainly made a lasting impression with our first match. The reporters were shocked, and we’ve shown just how strong S-class is!”
“So, it’s my turn next, huh?”
ㅤ
Kid stood up from the sofa.
In a way, he was even more terrifying than Ridelle.
Yorha warned Kid.
ㅤ
“Listen, don’t kill anyone. If you do, everything will be ruined!”
“I know, Scheming Princess-sama.”
“Hmph, stop calling me that.”
“It’s the truth. I’m off.”
ㅤ
Kid adjusted his hat and headed to the arena.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
Kid’s opponents were three.
The male vice president, female vice president, and the Student Council treasurer.
The male vice president, Sentia, had already summoned his equipment-type beast 『Aegis Guard』. Similarly, the female vice president, Marne, summoned her partner-type beast 『Black Ant』. A large swarm of gigantic army ants had gathered.
Furthermore, the young treasurer, Lokis, opened the lid of a bottle. The water inside began to float and change shape, moving like a snake in the air.
ㅤ
“Hey, hey, it hasn’t started yet.”
“Just summon your beast.”
“Geez. . . . . .thanks to Ridelle, they’re on their guard.”
ㅤ
It seems they’re wary of a quick attack like Ridelle’s.
Kid pointed his left hand at Sentia and made a gun gesture.
ㅤ
“Shoot, 『Headsman』.”
ㅤ
His left arm transformed, resembling densely packed jade.
The index finger turned into a gun barrel, and the thumb became a sight.
This was the form when Kid and his partner Billy merged.
Seeing this, the three members of the Student Council broke out in a cold sweat.
The muzzle of the Headsman looked like a demon aiming to take a life.
ㅤ
“What’s the matter━━scared?”
ㅤ
Kid’s provocation.
An offhand remark for Kid, but for the three of the Student Council, it was a voice of terror.
A terror different from Ridelle’s.
The threat of the 『Parasitic type』, which has only been confirmed in a few instances.
And now, it’s coming for them━━.
ㅤ
『Let’s begin then. . . . . .』
ㅤ
With Faluo’s signal, the match began.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
The shield shattered, and holes formed all over the body.
ㅤ
“━━What?”
ㅤ
Sentia spat out blood with a question.
Why are there holes in her body? In a split second, her vision spun, and with eyes rolled back, Sentia fell.
ㅤ
“Defense is pointless. The only one who can stop my bullets is that idiot.”
ㅤ
Then, water snakes flew towards Kid.
It’s Rokis, the Student Council treasurer with a nature-type Summoned beast, Aquasnake. The snake, using water as a medium, wriggled through the air towards Kid.
ㅤ
“Oh… a nature-type.”
ㅤ
Kid amusingly fired at Aquasnake. However, his jade bullets just passed through Aquasnake without effect.
The Aquasnake approached Kid. Wrapping around Kid’s face to suffocate him was Lokis’s intent━━but just as the Aquasnake was about to coil around Kid, Kid leaped with all his might.
ㅤ
“『Sniper rifle』.”
ㅤ
Taking aim in mid-air and firing━━the jade bullet that was shot blasted off Rokis’s right leg.
ㅤ
“Aaaargh━━?!”
ㅤ
At the loss of his right leg, the seventeen-year-old Lokis couldn’t bear it.
Kid, upon landing, kicked the desperately clutching Rokis with full force.
ㅤ
“Only one left. Huh. . . . . .too weak. Doesn’t even qualify as a warm-up. At this rate, reaching ‘that form’ seems far off.”
ㅤ
Saying that, Kid pointed his gun at Marne.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
“Too weak.”
ㅤ
As soon as he returned to the waiting room, Kid muttered, looking bored.
He was disappointed, but not in the same way as Ridelle.
Kid, who turned Marne into a beehive, came back looking unenthusiastic. And this was his first remark.
ㅤ
“Show some spirit, will you. . . . . .”
“They’re so weak it’s boring. Hey, let me take on the next four.”
“Don’t joke around.”
ㅤ
Albero stands up.
Then, Ashe said with a slight downward glance.
ㅤ
“Hey, Albero. . . . . .about Esterize.”
“Hmm, it’s a good opportunity. I’ll do it thoroughly.”
“Well. . . . . .she was kind to me, so. . . . . .don’t overdo it.”
“. . . . . .Understood.”
ㅤ
Albero was able, for the first time, to think calmly.
He wondered how he felt about his sister, Esterize, and brother, Rashild.
The answer is indifference.
He harbors neither grudge nor hatred. Just as Esterize and others ignored Albero in the past, now Albero is ignoring his brother, sister, and parents.
After gaining power, he understood. He genuinely now has no interest or concern for Esterize or Rashild.
This is a golden opportunity.
In the past, Esterize and others had no interest in Albero. Albero tried his best to be acknowledged by his family, but he couldn’t achieve any results.
And now, Albero has obtained power. And Esterize and their parents have approached him.
Albero will respond to that.
ㅤ
“━━Crush them and end it.”
ㅤ
Sister Esterize, brother Rashild.
This was the first time he truly stood up to the two of them.
