Episode 183 Midterm Random Defense (5)
Student President Dolores.
She was watching with a happy expression as the first year juniors in the same club set a new grade record.
However, as time passed, Dolores’ expression hardened.
“… … Why aren’t the exams over?”
She wasn’t the only one who reacted this way.
All the spectators, students, and even professors who were watching the test were horrified.
“Hey, is this something strange?”
“They all have 0 HP, so why doesn’t the exam end?”
“They are first graders! Who advanced the second phase!”
The one in charge of the phase is a magic tool that transmits mana, and is in the form of a crystal that emits blue light.
Those in charge of it were looking at the instrument panel with teary-skinned expressions.
“It seems that there was an error because there was a strong life reaction left outside the students enrolled in the exam hall!”
“what? What are you talking about! There are only four kids on the field!”
The professors reacted with absurdity.
Originally, four human lives remained in the arena, which was replaced with points due to the HP suit.
Now that it has reached zero, it is normal that there should be no more life reactions on the arena.
However, it was clearly indicated on the instrument panel that there was one ‘existence full of vitality’ capable of fighting.
The professors looked over the arena through the magic wall, but there were no living creatures besides the students.
“Anyway, it seems that the error was caused by a collision between the life response check magic and the phase management magic.”
“this. That’s a big deal. Why did you get this error? Apparently, there are only four first-year students in the stadium… … Hey, that’s not important now! Stop crashing quickly!”
“Strictly speaking, we are the phase magic management department… … The Life Response Check Magic Department is not under our jurisdiction… … .”
“What is his jurisdiction! No way, stopping the golems is faster than writing and solving the magic circle code, right?”
“That is… … Starting this year, the creation and moving of golems have been automated… … The magic circle code related to this is also linked to the mana stone, and to dismantle it, you must first disable the life response check magic and the phase management magic.”
“what? Are you kidding me? The code for the magic circle needed for the exam was sloppy! What then! tell me how!”
“Bah, there is a way, of course! The code for the magic wall blocking the arena is written separately, so all you have to do is turn it off for a while and let the students come out.”
“Then release the magic wall!”
“But the magic wall is not under our jurisdiction? If we blindly touch this, the responsibility may become complicated later… … .”
‘Jurisdiction’ and ‘responsibility’ are indeed magical words that make even the most normal and commonsense person harden their brains.
Even more so in times of crisis.
In a way, the inertia of management was overlapping with minor problems that were not a big deal, and the work was growing.
But there are still ways to fix it.
All you have to do is release the transparent magic dome that surrounds the arena and let the students trapped inside come out.
The professor in charge gave instructions with a bubbling expression.
“Then quickly dismantle the magic wall. So that the students inside can come out.”
“That’s also because it’s not under our jurisdiction… … Let’s find the practitioner who has the magic wall key.”
Department head-level professors are busy.
Before long, a professor with the magic wall key appeared.
He was Professor Morgue Banshee, a promising candidate for the next vice principal.
Professor Banshee was overseeing the exams in another gymnasium, and rushed to the news of the events in Tudor’s group.
“The magic wall key? I have it, but… … .”
What Professor Banshee took out with a puzzled expression was the key that contained the spell to dismantle the magic wall.
On the key, you can see the letter A written in large letters.
“The key to dismantle the magic wall is impossible with just one key. Key A is useless without key B.”
The key is divided into two for security.
At Professor Banshee’s words, all the professors started looking for the B key.
And, here another incident occurred.
“Professor Sadie, who has the B key, has left the workplace without permission!”
“what!? Damn that trouble again!? It’s been a few days since I was disciplined for negligence… … Where did you go!?”
“Wow, he said he was going to the bathroom and lost contact.”
“Shit! This stupid woman… … !?”
While the professors are wasting their time here and there like this.
1. Don Quixote La Mancha Tudor
HP: 0/100
2. Sancho Panza Barataria
HP: 0/100
3. Usher Pow Bianca
HP: 0/100
4. Piggy
HP: 0/100
Tudor, Sancho, Piggy, and Bianca were exhausted dealing with the ants.
“Shit! Now the HP suit is also broken!”
“You’d better take it off. Such uncomfortable tights.”
“The physical damage you receive from now on will come as a real shock! Everyone be careful!”
“Kyaaaagh! what the hell! Why can’t I unlock the fantasy dungeon, golem creation, or magic wall!?”
Their HP had already reached 0 in the evening before, so they had to fight the monsters with their own bodies.
The ants were still flocking in waves.
Like the defense-type structure, monsters are created indefinitely.

Furthermore, Phase 2 was only for 2nd graders, so it wasn’t just regular ants.
[Oh-oh-oh!]
A gigantic ant rose from among the piles of eggs.
It had a lot of thorns on its broad, hard head like a shield, and its body was several times larger than other ants.
“… … It’s a soldier ant!”
Piggie exclaimed in horror.
If such things are mixed among common ants, the answer is no.
“Shit! We have to stop it!”
“I will try!”
Tudor and Sancho tried to fight as hard as they could, but Manaro, who was already showing the bottom, could not emit an aura.
The soldier ant rushed forward, pushing the ground with its head like a shield, and blew away Tudor and Sancho.
… Kwak! Woo support!
Tudor’s supply spear and Sancho’s supply ax are smashed and scattered.
And soon after, the soldier ants started pushing their heads.
Kwak Kwak Kwak!
The feeling of being crushed by numerous shield soldiers, Sancho, Tudor, Piggy, and Bianca were crushed by the swarming ants.
“Cheuk! Moo, heavy!”
“Keugh! Keep coming!”
“… … Lord, I think I’m going to die!”
“Aww! What are the professors doing!?”
Everyone was groaning in pain.
It was a very serious situation, but it was an accident that happened so suddenly that the professors have yet to find a way to respond.
“Now that this has happened, we must destroy the magic stone!”
“Who will break it! The responsibilities of at least four departments are mixed in this magic stone!”
“Everyone knows that magic stones are incredibly rare and expensive ancient oparts, right? Yes, which department head will be in charge! Let’s get that clear first!”
“Is this the golem creation department? Is it the biological reaction detection department? Is this the phase management department? Is it the magic wall maintenance department? Who the hell is it! Let’s clarify who is responsible first!”
The circumstances of adults are intertwined.
“The Golem department made a mistake in adding the automation magic circle to the original golem creation magic circle, so let’s destroy the mana stone and take responsibility from that department!”
“Why is that on our side! In the first place, the biological response detection department did their job wrong! You have to break the magic stone there, right!”
“What are you talking about! This wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t skipped the phase! Who did more wrong and who did less!”
“Professor Saadi still can’t reach me! What are you going to do with this magic wall!?”
“Didn’t everyone hear the rumor!? Rumor has it that among the freshmen this year, there is a member of the royal family who came in hiding his identity! If this incident is known to the imperial family, we will all be humiliated!”
While children are dying, adults do nothing to take care of their own comfort and gains and losses.
Dolores, who ran to the university worried about her juniors, became disillusioned with the professors’ behavior.
‘Guys, just a little… … Hold on just a little longer!’
Dolores took up the knife herself.
Chanang!
She pulled the sword from the waist of the professor next to her and ran straight to the magic stone.
The professors exclaim in astonishment.
“student president! What is this!”
“Are you crazy!? Stop right now!”
“If you break it, it won’t end with expulsion! Request for compensation directly from Quo Vadis… … !”
But no threats or intimidation could stop Dolores.
“Yeahap!”
She swung her sword at the magic stone.
This moment when the lives of juniors are at stake.
It didn’t matter that the magic stone was the academy’s treasure number 1 bestowed by the imperial family, that it was a national treasure whose value was difficult to estimate, or even that the person who destroyed it was expelled from school.
Dolores stabbed her with a single thought of saving her juniors.
… … No, I was trying to stab him.
Pupperpuppung!
If it hadn’t been for the explosions that happened over the magic wall and inside the arena.
“!?”
Dolores raised her head hurriedly.
The other professors who ran to stop her also look at the stadium with surprised expressions.
The magic wall that prevents outsiders from entering and insiders from going out is still intact.
But there was a face that I hadn’t seen before.
A man dealing with ants while blocking the exhausted Tudor, Sancho, Piggy and Bianca.
“… … Stay away.”
It was Bikir.
