How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 233

Bellbrook subjugation (1)

The cheers of the crowd as they looked up at the fireworks that lit up the sky beautifully turned into screams in an instant.

– ‘Kyaaaaaaagh!’

– ‘What is that! Also, run away! I have to run away!’

Tanya, who was standing on the podium in the student plaza and watching the fireworks with the crowd, couldn’t help but shudder at the sight in front of her.

Commerce of Sylvania Academy.

Breaking through the clouds, the figure leisurely revealed under the light of firecrackers… It was the head of a huge dragon.

The moment when fireworks filled the sky and everyone was laughing and shouting peace was only a minute ago.

In just one minute, the dragon that appeared announcing the end of the world was about to roar.

I know the name of the great catastrophe that blows up even this huge island.

Seongchangryong Valveroke.

The final boss of < Failed Swordsman of Sylvania >.

As things go, it is a disaster that appears in the summer of the year the main character, Taily McLore, graduates, and tries to destroy Sylvania.

– ‘Kyaaak! Aaaaaaagh! monster! It’s a monster!’

– ‘Everyone run away!’

– ‘My son! bell line! where did you go ?! my son! Find my son!’

– ‘Get out of the way everyone! Get out of the way!’

– ‘Maxes Bridge! Run to the Maxes Bridge right now! It’s the fastest way to get out of this island!’

– ‘Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! foot! My feet!’

The student plaza, which quickly turned into mayhem, is filled with crowds of people running away screaming.

In the crucible of chaos, I was mingling with the fleeing crowd and quietly looking up at the sky.

At first, I was embarrassed.

The reason I was able to calm down was because it wasn’t unexpected at all.

Subjugation of Glaskan, Subjugation of Glast, Subjugation of Lucy, Subjugation of Crepin…

Nothing ever went as expected. I didn’t even think that just because it was called Velbroke, it would show up just on time, as if it was an appointment.

That’s why, when I had time, I quickly stimulated and developed Taylor, and even if I had some free time, I pushed my magic skills up.

Even so… even so…

“Ed!”

A familiar voice came from among the crowd.

It was Yenika who ran out with her parents and the crowd. She would also have been watching her final stage with her parents at her student square.

Orte and Seila, who were running after Yenica, saw me and shouted.

“Brother Ed! You must run away right now! In the sky… in the sky…”

“Ed.”

However, Jenika interrupted Orte and spoke in a more calm voice.

“The Holy Changryong that Ed said…”

“Yeah… it’s a lot faster than I expected… but it’s him.”

Jenika’s expression hardened as she couldn’t finish her words.

I took a breath and talked to Yenika.

“Evacuate your parents first. Even if you run to the Maxes Bridge now, you won’t be able to use the bridge properly because of the crowds.”

“That, that…”

“In this chaotic situation, you are a very valuable manpower with the ability to evacuate people off the island. How many flying spirits can carry at once?”

“If I summon a mid-level wind spirit… I can still move ten people at once… Although I’m exhausted after burning that many and flying long distances…”

“Then, evacuate important people off the island immediately. Saving your parents first isn’t the most important thing.”

I checked the equipment I had prepared right now, summarized the main points as much as possible and delivered it to Yenika.

It’s an emergency. There was no time to hesitate.

– Kaaaaaaaaang!

Valveroke’s roar, like scratching an iron plate, once covered the skies over Sylvania.

A figure revealed between the flames of firecrackers.

However, that figure was oddly different from the one I knew of Valveroke.

A chain is wrapped around it.

From the sea, only the upper half of the body rose up here and there, huge magical chains wrapped around it were trying to pull Valveroke down into the sea again.

The seal was not completely released.

Could it be because it’s too early? Or is there some other external variable?

Unlike the Velbroke in my memory who broke the seal completely and came out, that Velbroke is still fighting the seal.

Even Velbrooke’s roar was more like a scream to break the chains of the seal, rather than the result of violence.

Yet, it has not fully resurrected.

The roar alone makes all the crowds in the square fall apart.

The roar containing magical power has physical power in itself. Still, the greater the distance, the less the influence.

However, even though it was a roar emitted from the head of Valveroke, which fell in the distant sky, it had enough power to crush people. Once again, I realized the absurd amount of magic power of Valveroke.

– “Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

– ‘Sa, save me…!’

Again the screams of the crowd were heard.

Jenika also looked up at me with a serious expression, again supporting her parents.

“Ed?”

“First of all, Jenika, you said to evacuate everyone you think is important. Think about getting your parents evacuated first.”

“Then Ed.”

Yenika spoke casually.

Ortez and Seila opened their eyes wide and looked at them, but there was no time to react to them one by one.

“I am…”

I looked up at Valveroke, who continued to roar into the vast sky, holding on to the chain that was being sucked back into the sea.

“That should be stopped.”

It was said so naturally that Yenika couldn’t even think of rebelling against it… She ended up laughing.

Come to think of it, the human being I was always like this. He often said nonsense.

And the same goes for Jenika. If she behaves like this, she’s the girl who always used to get swept away.

Yenika calmed down, feeling embarrassed by the sudden change of situation, and slowly brought up the story.

“I, if I use the ring that Ed had… I can evacuate hundreds of people at once.”

A phoenix ring given to you by Professor Glast.

The power of the ring, which draws future magic power and makes it usable right now, allows anyone, not just me, to handle ridiculous levels of magic.

In particular, the greater the user’s magic power, the exponentially greater the power.

“If you summon Friede, the highest water spirit, most of the outsiders on this island will be able to evacuate all of them to the continent in just a few round trips. Then at least.,, I can hit ‘run away’.”

The resurrection of the Holy Changryong, Velbrok, is not a disaster that can be prevented by one individual.

So, the most sensible option is… to run away.

“But Ed doesn’t think so.”

“Yeah, right.”

As if Yenika was reading my mind, she even let out a small smile and tried to blow away my tension.

“Ed… are you thinking of taking that down?”

It may be considered too unrealistic.

Seongchangryong Valveroke is a monster of such an absurd level that he can blow up his entire life with just one kick.

Right now, I can’t fully control my body due to the unresolved seal, but the moment I cut off the chain soon, this Aken Island is destroyed as it is.

In fact, when that happens, evacuation is meaningless.

In the event of a catastrophe like that, there is no place in the entire empire that can be called a safe zone.

“okay. Ed. If I already wear a ring, I can’t use it when it’s important, and I’m also incapacitated… There’s a good chance it’ll be a handshake. Also, if you’re going to use a ring, the strongest person… It’s more efficient for Lucina Orbel to use it…”

“Brother Ed. It is correct to evacuate from Ed. Join us right now…”

“No, it’s fine. This is probably your only chance to escape the island. Escape immediately with Jenika.’”

I met Orté’s eyes and spoke clearly.

In the midst of the running crowd creating a commotion, a few people tapped on the shoulder, but I didn’t care. They wouldn’t have been crazy either.

“Brother Ed..”

“I won’t say it twice. The situation is urgent and there is no time to persuade.”

After I said that, it was Yenika who pulled Orté’s hand instead.

“Dad, let’s go! It’s more troublesome to drag out time like this!”

Like that, Yenika, who pulled Seila and Orte tight, looked in my direction and spoke with a firm face.

“I will be back as soon as possible. Where will Ed be going?”

What is the first action to be taken in this urgent situation?

The answer was, in fact, clearly determined.

“I’m going to find Taylor.”

I talked while gathering my magic to summon Merilda.

The most important thing now is to attract Taily who can deliver the final blow to the Star Changryong.

It’s a disaster sooner than expected. Taylor’s specs haven’t fully matured yet.

It may not be enough for the specs of the final battle, but I have learned the dragon slashing sword that can pierce Valveroke’s heart and the sword ceremony that can damage Valveroke’s flesh to some extent.

It may not meet the sufficient conditions, but the minimum conditions are met.

As long as he attaches some other colleagues and helps him access Valveroke’s heart… Current Taily should be able to put in the final blow. That’s it.

If only I could kill Valveroke.

If only I could do something about the terrible Holy Changryong that covered the sky… My whole journey would be finished.

The end of all the journeys that started with being stuck in the woods, running, rolling, getting hurt, getting hurt, getting up and getting back up again… finally arrives.

Gritting my teeth, I continued to gather mana.

“Ed, do you know where Taylor is?!”

First and foremost, take Taylor and place her in front of Valveroke’s heart.

In order to do that, it is necessary to specify the location of Taylor. Most of the students were in this student plaza for the closing ceremony, but…

“Probably, it’s in the Trix building…!”

Before the closing ceremony, Taylor’s lover, Ayla, came to me and said something.

Since they must read the seal of the wise man, they plan to hide in the Trix building during the closing event.

If she had consulted me on the execution of the plan, she would have told her companion, Taily, as well. Whatever the case, if it was Taily, she would have tried to help Ayla with her plan.

With a high probability, Taily would have headed to the Trix building to help Ayla.

If you’re not in this student plaza… almost certainly..!

Before long, a huge wind wolf is summoned by my magical power.

The lofty figure of Merilda, a high-ranking wind spirit, was located in the Student Plaza. Even the outsiders who were running away were all tongue-tied when they saw the scene.

Without having to exchange words, Merylda lowered her head and I quickly jumped on her back.

*The Maxes Bridge, the only overland route out of the island, is blocked.

It was an instant for the news to spread.

In fact, even Lortel, who had the earliest source of information on the island of Aken, was immediately informed.

Maxes Bridge is a trade bridge built by investment from Elte Trading Company, and has a long history.

As the investor was the Elte Company, most of the merchants who were setting up stalls using the route there belonged to the Elte Company.

“Mae, thirty-one merchants on the Maxes Bridge are either dead or missing. Right now, we’re only delivering what we quickly confirmed, and the number of deaths will be slower depending on the reports after this, this. It may… increase…”

“Don’t panic, Secretary Rienna. We are the head. You have to stay calm in any situation.”

Lortel Kecheln, who was receiving a report from the staff at the living quarters plaza, looked up at the sky.

A star spear dragon that roars while being wrapped around a chain.

Several tens of minutes had passed since the terrifying scene was revealed.

The sight of Valveroke trying to break free from his chains by periodically emitting a magical roar… it seems as if he is announcing the end of the world.

If it were a human, it would be natural to be terrified and try to run away.

It is a catastrophe that cannot be prevented by human power alone.

However, Lortel is the owner of a calm mind that maintains reason under any circumstances.

Breaking out in a cold sweat and catching my breath, I maintain my composure even in this crazy situation.

On the contrary, thanks to Lortel’s calm demeanor, even the employees who were about to be dragged into the chaos were able to regain their senses.

“Any other reports?”

Dozens of deaths came out within the Sanghoe. More than half of them are veteran traders.

This alone is already a major accident. Had it not been for a catastrophe like Velbroke, it would have been such a huge loss that he might have had to give up his position as acting assistant manager right away.

Still, Lortel was unfazed and clearly set her priorities.

“Currently, the living area is in a state of turmoil due to outsiders who want to leave the island and residents of the living area. In particular, the dock side is said to be out of control because of the crowds.”

“That… you can tell just by looking at the current situation. Any other notable moves?”

“There is a movement to settle the chaos centered around some forces. Since Emperor Chloel is on the side of the imperial family quarters, the members of the imperial family, who have gathered around His Majesty, are showing organized movements of their own.”

An imperial informant ran over and bowed his head to Lortel.

“On the faculty wing, I heard that the student council president, Tanya Rosteiler, is gathering people by arranging the chaos, and Princess Selaha is also controlling people in the faculty wing. Principal Obel and her staff are also actively moving.”

“How about the living area?”

“It is said that St. Clarice is taking care of the confusion around the Telosians who were having a prayer meeting near the student church. Still, if we don’t find a way to escape from this island of Aken, the fundamental confusion won’t go away.”

Fortunately, there are a number of influential figures within the Isle of Aken who can hold on to and rectify the chaotic crowds.

With the Trix Hall as the center, principal Obel Forciers.

Centered around the imperial residence, Emperor Chloe and Princess Penia.

Tanya Ross Taylor, who formed a force centered on the student council on the student plaza side.

And Princess Selaha, who was on her way to the school building.

Saint Clarisse is gathering people around the student cathedral.

Maid Jean-Belle Maia, who gathers and protects Ophelis Hall staff and distinguished students.

On top of that, even Lortel Kecheln of Elte Co., Ltd., which has a strong grip on life activities.

Numerous people inside the island of Aken have succeeded in forming an order once they have organized themselves around the leaders around them. Most of them were led by senior staff belonging to the bachelor’s office or by those who could assert authority due to their high status.

However, the fundamental confusion has not been resolved, and the biggest problem, the absence of an escape route, shows no signs of being resolved.

There is no telling when Valveroke, who is struggling in the distant sky right now, will emerge from the influence of the seal and destroy the island of Aken.

Where was the time to wait for the imperial family to pull a huge sailboat?

Already, part of the coastline and the cliff area are collapsing due to the scales spewing out intermittently as Valveroke struggles.

It is good to gather in each region and take a defensive posture. However, in the end, only catastrophe will remain if that Velbrook is settled or if Aken Island cannot be escaped.

“How many people can evacuate the island on their own without using land?”

“First of all, escaping the island with space magic is ridiculous because of the consumption of mana, and there are only ways to use giant spirits or use flight magic. It is possible for some professors or students… but there are so few of them that it is physically impossible to put out all of these huge crowds…!”

“The imperial family gave orders to mobilize sailboats to coastal cities. But… Of course, there’s no way we’ll be able to make it on time…!”

Due to the nature of the Sylvania Academy, which rarely uses sea routes, the number of people that can go out by boat is only a few dozen people at a time.

In addition, given the situation where the crowds gathered at the dock this far to get out of each other, it is safe to say that the sea route was also paralyzed.

out number.

This Isle of Aken, waiting for the advent of Velbrok without doing anything… became a cemetery for those who would face a terrible death when the time came.

“First of all, I heard that together with Emperor Chloel, he is working on a way to get some of the distinguished guests to escape first..!”

The most important thing is, of course, the comfort of the emperor.

The people on the side of the imperial family’s quarters will make every effort to get the two princesses and Emperor Chloel off the island first.

However, Lortel Kecheln was well aware of Emperor Chloe’s tendencies.

“Perhaps, Emperor Chloel’s personality… Rather than rushing to escape right away, he’d try to clear this confusion first.”

This is the last remaining weakness of the Holy Emperor Chloel.

I don’t take good care of myself. They are too busy thinking about the national interest and the people to take good care of themselves.

At first glance, it may be said that it is like a saint who truly cares for the people, but…

Considering how important the position of the emperor is, it’s not a very wise disposition.

No matter what anyone says, the emperor is the one who becomes the focal point for everyone. When such a person is injured or killed, the chaos grows even more out of control.

Therefore, taking care of one’s own comfort is directly related to taking care of the comfort of the crowd. That fact should not be taken lightly, but Emperor Chloel, who has lived as a sage, will try to resolve the confusion of the people somehow.

Lortel frowned and accelerated her steps.

What should I do first?

You have to prioritize that. As the leader of Elte Co., every minute and every second of judgment will cost dozens of people’s lives back and forth.

“Can we use our ship…?”

“There are seven small merchant ships, but they are all occupied… It is not known whether we will be able to get them off because of the crowds grabbing them at the docks and making a fuss.”

“…”

“is it so. Then… we’d rather gather people from the daily life section and join the royal residence…”

– Kugoong…! thud…!

– Kaaaaaaaa!

It was just then that Lortel was trying to sort things out quickly.

Valveroke, who had struggled in the sky, roared once more.

A roar filled with magical power once again crosses the night sky and reverberates around the world as if tore apart the eardrums.

He struggles to tear off the huge chains that wrap around his body one by one, but before long, the giant foot strikes the living quarters this time.

Valveroke’s foot is stamped on the outskirts of the living building, the part leading to the western coastline, and a shock as if the world is turned upside down comes.

– Quaaaaaaaaaang!

Just like that, half of the western coastline was stamped out at Valveroke’s feet.

And… magic power gathers around Valveroke’s lips. Dozens or hundreds of magic circles formed around its mouth, and an unbelievable amount of magical energy was sucked into the center like a black hole.

‘Dragon Breath’

It was a blow that boasted a power comparable to that of the highest level of magic, but from the perspective of the Holy Spear Dragon, Velbroke, it was nothing more than a breath of magic.

The result is a disaster.

If it gets stuck in a crowded place, at that point there will be hundreds or thousands of casualties.

Lortel held her breath as she watched the scene.

The island of Aken is… more crowded than ever before because of the Crestol Festival.

Every single blow of Velbroke is genocide. The disaster of people dying like a swarm of ants will begin from now on.

Looking at the magic circles gathered in the sky, Lortel thought.

this is really dangerous

-Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

That was when I thought about it.

There is a wizard who flew into the sky. A girl soars from the top of the Trix coffin, her witch’s hat pressed down, and spreads her hand toward the monster in the sky.

An enormous amount of mana covered the sky of Sylvania, making one wonder if it was derived by humans.

Numerous crowds of Aken Island witness it.

A rare genius in human history who is said to never be born again since Sylvania.

Lucy Meiril… stands in the sky and looks up at Valveroke.

As usual, the blank eyes are nowhere to be seen. On the contrary, it looks quite serious.

Before long, Velbroke’s dragon breath flew towards the Sylvania Academy.

Taking a deep breath, Lucy… threw away Valveroke’s breath with her teeth clenched. A huge magical collision covered the sky over Aken Island, to the point where it felt as if all the light and sound of the world had disappeared for an instant.

A total of 81 layers of high-level defense magic and 3 layers of high-level defense magic were realized at once, and it was a sight that any wizard could only look at with a puzzled expression.

Not a human, but a huge mass of magical power.

It was unbelievable that what came out of that tiny body.

However, no matter how Lucy Meiril is, no matter how unstable her opponent, Velbroke, has yet to completely escape from the effects of the seal…

As human beings, there are limits.

Lucy, who blocks Velbroke’s breath with all her might… is thrown from the sky to the ground and pinned. I couldn’t even block it completely.

Some of Valveroke’s magical powers bounced off and crashed all over the island of Aken, causing huge explosions.

Several buildings in the living quarters collapse, and the Glockt building in the student center in the faculty building collapses.

A fire broke out in the corner of the northern forest, and a landslide pushed down the mid-side of the mountain due to the impact of part collapse.

Lucy was stuck in the middle of the student plaza, leaving a huge crater behind. Some of the students who had not yet been evacuated looked at the sight and clapped their tongues.

Lucy Meiril, covered in dust… shakes herself off and stands up. She picked up her witch’s hat, which had fluttered beside her at some point, and brushed it off. Then she presses on her hat and looks up at her sky.

In the sky I looked up at, disaster had arrived.

*Seeing the official document sent by Obel Forcius, the faculty and staff of the Trix Hall rushed into the conference room with their reports gathered.

However, Ober Forciers, the head of the bachelor’s office, who was supposed to organize all of this, was not there.

Instead, the assistant principal, Rachel Teislin, sat in the principal’s chair.

Principal Rachel, wrinkly, looked at the gathered staff with her sharp eyes wide open.

“Currently, Principal Obel Forciers is missing.”

Emergencies require the leadership of the final officer more than ever.

However, there is only an agent there, and there is no Obel, the chief officer. So, who the hell wrote this notice?

“Until he shows up… I temporarily lead the bachelor’s response.”

Rachel took a deep breath in the principal’s seat, then exhaled again. He had neither the time nor the time to explain or make excuses.

“Bring all the reports.”
