130-Episode 102 "One with Shape"





 The students begin to draw up their jutsu.

 Probably the largest attack jutsu of each and every currently available.

 The magic formula is activated by drawing the Edia character - the magic formula character - with the holy element collected in the fingertips.
 In the process of activating it, the more holy elements are kneaded into the letters from your fingertips, the more powerful the technique becomes.
 Therefore, everyone seems to be drawing a little bit slower than usual, probably because they want to knead more of the holy element into the character.
 However, even though it's a very slow process, it's not a very time-consuming one.

''Eradicate and purify the four malevolent plagues from this world! This country is being protected by a future holy warrior of integrity. You know what I'm talking about! Don't ever cut corners! Let's flesh the sacred elements into the formula to the max! If you can't finish them off with your slimy magic, even if the Four Deadly Disasters were to rampage through the streets, neither I nor Currier will save you guys! I don't know--

 Rokia commanded vigorously with a somewhat exaggerated gesture.

'Let go!'

 The students' art form was activated almost at the same time.

 Lightning, fire, ice, wind, earth--
 The attack-attributed techniques are hitting the four deadly enemies one after the other as if they were machine gun bullets.

 The sound of deafening thunder.
 The heat and intensity of the revolting flames.
 The sound of hard ice formation and sharp cold air, the
 The awesome sound of wind shearing, which makes one imagine a fearsome cut.
 Stone gravel flying in, clad in flying clods of dirt.

 However, from the looks of it, it did not appear to be so effective.
 Despite receiving that many attack techniques all at once, the Four Deadly Disasters didn't respond at all.
 No, to begin with, those four deadly disasters.....
 Or perhaps they were already in the midst of preparing for the execution drama--

 The bombardment-like artifice ceased.
 Rokia approached the four evildoers, whose clothes were even more tattered, and made a gesture to inspect their condition.
 Rokia smirks at him.

'Brilliant. You and the other brave men and women have now successfully killed the Four Deadly Sins right here and now. You've demonstrated your commitment to the future you've now won the future you were promised by your own hands! Be proud of yourself!

 There was a beat...

 The students sprang up, gulp.

 It may be temporary, but they seem to be experiencing a strong sense of elation.
 From my point of view, watching from a distance, it looks like a cold scene in a way, but yes, it's as if they are under mass hypnosis.

"Hahahahahahaha, but that's not good..... You haven't even become a holy warrior yet and you're getting beaten up by a candidate! It's a laughingstock! .....

 Rokia jumped off the stage.

''Well - I don't really care what time the Four Deadly Disasters die.

 The students who participated in the execution drama seemed to be unable to understand for a while the words that Rokia had just uttered.
 What are they saying after agitating themselves so much?
 They were all uniformly stunned.

''Huh? What's going on with you all of a sudden, man?
Yes we're prepared to...
You just said something nice about us.
Why do you all of a sudden sound like you're so distant?

 You can't get away with it.

It's a good thing that you don't know anything about it, or you wouldn't be a holy warrior at all.

 The words that could be called merciless were uttered by Rokia.

The only thing I can think of is that this state of tension is unavoidable. It is very easy to deprive a person of the ability to make good decisions when you are in a state of anxiety or fear.... ...it's hard to beat that feeling of comfort. It's easy to get swallowed up in the face of what would normally feel like a strange situation. Even more so when you're an immature cadet.

 Rokia smiles a small smile, "Kukku.

You can't be ashamed of what you've done. It may be that you are the ones who put the final touches to the Four Deadly Sins. It's good enough to be a topic of conversation for the future. And so..........thank you, candidates.

 I have no idea what they're talking about.
 The students have such a look on their faces.
 But Rokia is nowhere to be seen, and he has a look on his face that says his purpose has been accomplished.
 Then he walks straight ahead and stops.

''Jutsu is an interesting thing, isn't it?

 Rokia stands in front of the students who haven't quite grasped the situation yet.

He said, "It's not just a matter of drawing a magic formula, the amount of holy elements you can put in will also change its power. Furthermore, there is such a thing as an 'abbreviated' formula that omits the basic formula.
...so what's the problem?

 One of the students, who looked doubtful, asked reflectively.

Three grades, all of them.

 No one responded to Rokia's words.
 No one seems to have caught on to the story yet.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. In that case, the number of characters to be drawn is overwhelmingly small, and the amount of holy elements to be devoted to maintaining the holy elements is also large, and no one would be stupid enough to use it in this situation--normally, no one would be, right? After all, you're still a holy warrior's egg. There's no fool who thinks that a summary can produce the offensive power to kill those four scourges. The only person who has reached that level is, well, Beosa Fallonteza of the third year and now he's not in this royal capital.

 I'm beginning to understand what Rokia is trying to say.

It's a good thing we have all the students who can use abbreviations in the year that remains in the royal capital. Gilius Hunt of the Hammering Clan, Nanna Hittero of the Double-Snake Clan, Glenvar Siata of the Double-Snake Clan, and Cecily Arkwright of the Lion Clan--these are the four.

 When Rokia finishes, there is a bit of space around the three students, except for Cecily-san, who is behind me.
 I guess they all thought that there was something going on, even though they didn't quite understand it.
 All three of them have an uneasy look on their faces.

And this execution drama........even though I told you to put the holy grail into it so strongly, there is only one idiot out of the four we've just mentioned who could summarily shoot that four evildoers with a magic formula. Didn't I tell you? If you're not careful, Currier and I will have to save you guys from the Four Deadly Sins, even if the Four Deadly Sins have to fight back to the death... Well, I don't know if those words were heard or not.

 Rokia sniffs her head.


'May I ask why you dare to use the abbreviated form--Nanna Hittero?


 Everyone's gaze fell on Nanna Hittero at once.
 A blue-eyed, very quiet-looking girl with chestnut-colored hair.

I think I'm gonna be okay, because I think I'm gonna be...
What?
I'm pretty sure I could get away with abbreviating it, so...
Maybe.
What?
It's okay, it's not a problem....as soon as I do a certain thing with you, the truth will be judged. As long as I can narrow it down to one person, that's all that matters.

 As Rokia approached, Nanna Hittero backed away with a hiccup.

You said something about executing a plan to roast Tema after the execution of the four evil wars, but actually, there is no such thing. It's a bluff to get you to let your guard down. You seem to have let your guard down and used a ruse without a second thought but you're not even aware of it. You are a master magician, and you only use shortcut methods. It's the only way to go...

 Rokia takes another step closer.

"Well, to begin with, since the 'first technique taught' was abbreviated, that's what you're based on--right, noise deuce?
Who's that... the noise? What's that?
I don't know if you've planned this attack or not, but I'm sure it was a dramatic turn of events for you. It must have been very exciting for him. After all, Kurier Versteen is the star of the show.

 Nanna Hittero looked seriously frightened.
 At least, as far as I could tell.
 .........She's the noise, is she?

'Is this Noyes person really among those students in the first place? Normally, I wouldn't dare to risk getting mixed up with the students...

 Cecily said that.
 Honestly, I feel the same way... no, the same people in the 6th house know best about the 6th house.
 They all said that Noise would always be in the first class of the stage.
 Then he must be there.
 In there.

''Teme's change spell has one flaw.

 Rokia reached out her hand to Nanna Hittero's arm.

''That's because the change spell is such a delicate spell that even Teme has difficulty keeping the amount of holy element constant. You told me that yourself before, didn't you? Then, if that body was flooded with a large amount of holy grail with the amount of release I have here, would Teme be able to maintain the spell?

No, no! I can't take it anymore!

 Nanna Hittero retreated and spoke up.
 She plastered fear on her face and pointed at Rokia.

'This, this man is from Doomsday Township! He's trying to sneak into this school and do something bad! I have been researching them in secret for some time now and it seems that they have come to set me up like this to take care of me. Don't be fooled, people! Hey, do you recognize him and his cronies in the first place! Hey, which group are you guys from? Can you answer that!
Hey, now that you mention it, which class do you belong to?
'I don't think I've ever seen you before... no, I thought you didn't recognize me because you're still a freshman, but... what? What? Apocalypse?

 Nanna Hittero took the arm of a nearby schoolboy and leaned in close.

'Volca, help me! She's probably going to kill me now! Oh, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this until now, but I was actually asked by the Holy Royal Family to investigate them in secret. Therefore, the fact that I was investigating them is a secret mission that even the headmaster doesn't know about.......

 The graceful man called Borca heard Nanna Hittero's wistful words and bit his lip.

'I see, Nanna that's why you've been acting so strange lately I'm sorry, even though I didn't know, I can't help you in any way.
'Nope, not true. It's more like ... I'm so sorry for hiding it from you!

 Nanna bows her head deeply.
 A chuckle came out of Rokia's mouth.

"You don't get along very well, 'Intangible Games'.

 Borca decisively intervened between Rokia and Nanna.

'Hey, Nanna is my girlfriend...! I'm not letting you through here! No, no! Guys, I knew there was something fishy about this guy! This whole execution spree is weird in retrospect! I don't know what you want, but you're trying to bring us down! For example... yes, by having us kill the Four Deadly Disasters, they can take revenge on us cadets of the Four Deadly Disasters! Yes! I bet these guys want to eradicate the holy warriors! And one day, they're going to attack us from the apocalypse! The advance guard yes! Perhaps this guy and his friends are the vanguard of evil, sent from Doomsday Township along with the four evil plagues!

 Borca slams the words down feverishly.
 Nanna Hittero, hiding behind her, looks frightened with tears in the corners of her eyes.
 And the other students responded to Borca and surrounded Rokia with a swift air.

''Well if you ask me, this guy is suspicious.
Why were we dancing to the words of this guy...
I killed a man and I got carried away.

 Even if Nan'a Hittero is noise, the headmaster reminds Rokia that he will not approve of any action that would harm the students.
 Hurting the students will not be tolerated.

''Noise, Teme--''

 Giri, Rokia bit her teeth.
 Regretfully.

 I've gone to the trouble of pulling all the way to the opener and it's still not enough? Hey, f*cking noise, what more do you want to do? Ah!

 Lokia's face was filled with strong indignation, and impatience.
 I've never seen his face like that.

"Oh, my God, I'm scared.

 Nanna squeezes and hugs Volca's arm forcefully.



 As Rokia kneeled on the ground, she also put both palms on the ground.
 Then, with a thump, he hit the ground.

''d*mn it........! I can't touch a student I can't even kick them to the curb so what the hell do you want me to do? f*ck ... f*ck! This ole plan ... this way ... this way ... f*cking ... f*cking ... f*cking ...!

 Rokia's eyes bleed and she glares at Nanna.
 Then he stands up and tries to pounce on Nanna.
 But he is blocked by the students who were surrounding him.
 Rokia's friends made a move.

 Kaka," he said.

 It was Hibigami who smiled at them.

 Nanna's eyes were sucked into Rokia's, barking and raging, coated in anger and frustration.
 And then.


You're finally getting your consciousness off me, Noise.


What?

 Nanna turned around reflexively.

 Standing behind her was Currier Versteen.

 In her hand is the empty sword scabbard she had kept in her clothes and--


 The blade of the Demon Eater was broken by the Beshgam.


 The blade of the Demon Eater is weaker than before it was broken, but it gives off a blue-white light.
 And--!

 Squishy.

 Nanna's face deformed. 

...Oh.

 Instantly, Nanna's expression, which had looked frightened, changed.
 She became calm and collected.

'Ugh, aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 Witnessing Nanna's face show a strange deformation, Volca screamed as if he had encountered a monster.

 Huh? Why, why, why....

 I breathe a sigh of relief.


 If the change spell or something like that is also using holy elements, what would happen if it absorbed all the holy elements around the spell user?


 A sword that absorbs holy elements to the point of disabling a technique.
 The Demon Eater is a demon sword that has the same level of absorption power as that giant.
 After I left the sickroom and before I came here, I asked Currier-san to search the area where the broken 'Demon Eater' was thrown away, and she found one half of the broken blade.

 I wasn't sure if I could test this idea by having it broken by Beshgam, but the broken 'Demon Eater's' blade barely had any effect on it yet.
 Only that blade was sheathed and kept by Currier-san.

 If Noise showed even the slightest opening, he would close the distance in one fell swoop and take away the holy element around it with the 'Demon Eater' blade.
 If Noyes is a dominant magician, you might be able to take away her fighting ability itself.

 I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that I was able to move more quickly than Currier-san, but it's also because she was the most reliable person for me to carry out my plan.

 However, if Noyes is showing a bizarre obsession with Currier-san, it's unlikely that she will lose consciousness from him during the execution.
 If she were to distract herself, there would have to be 'something' that would keep the noise glued to her.
 Through Currier-san, it seems that the plan I had in mind was conveyed to Rokia.
 So perhaps, Rokia--.



 Rokia, who had been held down by her students, suddenly regained her composure and let out a laugh.

 The sight of this demon king, Rokia, distraught and humiliated, screaming haplessly? That was dramatic, right? It's not something you'd see very often, even for a natural noise deece, is it?

 The students who had been restraining Rokia seemed to have reached the point of confusion, unable to speak at the deformity of Nanna's face.
 When the restraints were released, Rokia bent her neck with a gurgle and snapped, her teeth glinting and laughing wickedly.

'Hey Noise, think about it? At that point, did you really think that I wouldn't make a move on the students at the school? If I hadn't listened to Kurohiko's plan, I would have reneged on my promise to the headmaster when I got the idea, and I would have exposed your true identity even if I had to kill the students of this school.
W--

 The one who let out an astonished voice was Makina-san.
 .........After all, it's not a good idea to trust Rokia too much.
 Anyway, it was just an idea, but I'm really glad I came up with an alternative plan.......

 Rokia took a glance at me with a smirk on her face and returned her gaze to 'What was Nanna Hittero'.

''You haven't forgotten, have you? You see, this is the play you set up, okay? Then you're supposed to be an 'actor' and give a real performance, right? Hahahahahaha, I think this is a masterpiece! After all, I've surpassed Currier Verstein in the world of you, even if only for a moment! Is that the extent of your love for Marie Currier, huh? Noise Deuce!


 Nanna Hittero - Noyes Deece's lips, which had paled white earlier, turned into a smile.


''........ugh.


 A sticky, yet somehow glossy voice.
 Long, wavy purple hair.
 Purple-blue eyes.
 Noyes took off his uniform in an instant and released it briskly into the air.
 Was she wearing it underneath?
 Her attire changes to a thin robe colored in black and purple.
 A fleshy limb that could be seen even when wearing a robe.
 Starting with its fingers, it had jewelry and other accoutrements all over its body - probably all of it, probably magical equipment.
 Don't, thrusting Volca, who was one step before delirium, with his hand arrogantly, Noyes winked at Currier-san once.

''........Noise.

 Currier-san's expression tightened even more.
 Noyes ugh, and once again a deep smile appeared on his face.

The first thing you'll find is that you've been found..... That was a pretty interesting starter, huh?  Mmmmm, well........now that the actors are all here, this really is the beginning of the real--the final act,

 Smiling wryly, Noyes stuck out his right arm to the heavens and snapped his fingers with a snap.



''Ladies and gentlemen, please stay with me on this stage until the curtain comes down.



 From the intangible to the tangible--


 The Formless Game, which has a definite form, finally appeared in front of us.
