108-Episode 99: Sage, Pity the Naked King




You're a f*cking idiot?

 Volfot made fun of me when I appeared.
 He wriggled his thick, repellent body wide.
 Then he spread his hands wide.

'Why are you helping the enemy? What is it? Sympathy? Iolada's gone, and you're here to help the lonely little canal girl? d*mn it! It stinks too much. Shomi, even the modern trifecta isn't this goofy.

 Volfot laughed as he slapped his forehead.

 I laughed as I followed suit.

''It's not that I'm here to help our school, but if anything, I'm here to help the object of our school. If anything, I'm here to save the object of our school.

What?

'Didn't you tell him? My goal is to win it all. So destroy all the objects and we will win. It's not something I'm going to give to you.

'All objects destroyed! Kahukui kikkui kikkui! He slashed into the main campus of the main school by himself, and now he destroyed all the objects? Squeak squeak! You can't tell me you're kidding me!

I'm serious.

You b*tc*! Don't even think about it! You and this Branch 5 are under attack from four different schools right now! Not only do you want to destroy all the objects, but my objects are dangerous!

I'm not so sure about that.


 


 The sound of a huge explosion echoed across the battlefield.
 Southward from here.
 Towards the river - in other words, the location of the 5th branch's camp.

"Searcher, status report!

 Volfot called out to the students of the 4th branch who were nearby.
 The student who activated [Distant View] shouted with a mixture of screams.

''Chapters 2, 3, 7, and 8! I'm being pushed (I'm being pushed)!

What the hell!

 You're kidding me....

 Volfot had surprised many people in the past.
 But now he was in the middle of a whirlwind of astonishment.
 He is brilliant.
 He is far more intelligent than the slaves of the Strategist.

 But now - now.

 The unthinkable had happened.

'Why? Why! I can stand it! No matter how strong you guys are, there's no way you're going to get attacked simultaneously by four schools for free!

'It's simple. Proper diet and proper exercise. Then there's just the difference in command.

You're not even kidding me.

I'm not kidding. I'm serious to begin with. I was serious about winning it all, and I knew this was coming. So I could see this situation coming. In the simulation, I was thinking about playing every school in the world except for Chapter 5.

Do you want to go do something about it?

 He opens his mouth and shows me a very dumb face.
 I couldn't help but laugh.

'But my dear Wolfot. I'm as surprised as you are.

What?

 I closed my eyelids.

 I could see it from a distance.
 I could see my friends pushing back four schools with great effort.
 I could see the faces of the students who had mastered the quadruple activation and more for 100 days and were demonstrating their abilities without regret.
 My words of victory and the souls of my friends who believed in me without listening to any of the surrounding noise.

''For the sake of Lacelle........''
"For Lacelle, my boy...
"For Mr. Lacelle...

 I can hear them.

 I can tell.

 It's a huge - even I'm overwhelmed by the magical power that's now attacking the four schools.

 There is no one who can defeat this magic right now.
 Even if it was this Lacelle Singh Stark.........

 Then suddenly, fireworks went off.
 The gray magical fireworks bloomed in a great circle in the blue sky.
 Our school and Chapter 5.
 As they skirmished here and there, everyone suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

 An announcement is made.

''Branch 5 has destroyed the object in Branch 8.''

What!

 Volfot rolled his eyes even more.

 His face was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

'I'm also grateful to you, Volfot. You've attracted Chapters 2, 3, 7, and 8 to Chapter 5, which has made the other chapters less well protected. It's made it easier for me to take objects.

O-Ma-eeeeeeeeeeeee!

'It's you. You were going to send a separate force to destroy each object.

 Volfot's ploy was this.
 After capturing the main school, they were probably thinking of splitting up the troops and destroying the objects in branches 2, 3, 7 and 8 at once.

 But I went ahead with that plan.
 I bypassed the separate units and let them attack the objects in each school.

'We have an excellent comrade and sister at home,'

 And then the magic gem that I was holding glowed brightly.
 It was filled with a magic called "transposed voice" that can send a person's voice to you even if you are far away.
 What I heard was my sister Sheila's voice.

''Brother, the eighth object has been destroyed.''

Well done, Sheila.

..........

What's going on?

''No. I'm just.... I'm just happy to be complimented.''

When I get back, I'm going to give you a treat.

...as a treat!

Look forward to it. Keep up the good work.

'Yes, sir! We will continue to destroy the objects in Chapter 7.

 There are a total of just under 1,900 people hitting Branch 5 right now.
 Calculating backwards from that, the number each school was allocating to the defense was estimated to be around 100 people.
 With that level of strength, it was determined that a single Sheila would be enough.

 It made sense to have the lowest ranked Branch 8 and Branch 7 attacked first.
 Branch 8 has high cohesion but low ability.
 It's easy to eradicate first.
 Branch 7 was considered thin to begin with due to its small numbers.

 If the object was destroyed, they would lose on the spot.
 In other words, they could cut off half of the four schools that were currently attacking Chapter 5.

 That way, he could send backup to the relatively troublesome Branch 3.

 That said, it's Sheila.
 After hearing my words earlier, she'll be even more enthusiastic.
 They might destroy the objects of all four schools before the reinforcements arrive.

 I have a fearsome sister, after all.

 Then, this time, the magical jewel in Volfot's possession flashed.

 What I heard was a scream.

''Volfot! Come back!

 The voice is Fanbro.

'Branch 4's camp is being raided! You can't let this be--

Guard! Defend it! That's an order, Mr. Fambro!

 Volfot shouted to the demonic gemstone that had been granted the 【Transferable Voice】.

''Sh, death guard........''

That's what I meant! If you lose an arm or a leg, defend it! I don't care if I die! You're just my slaves. You're just an underling to show off the king. Well, then, you'll be fighting to the death! For me--!

..........

What? Don't you win?!

 No answer is forthcoming.

 But quietly..........
 In a somewhat resigned tone, Fanbro muttered.

''Okay.........''

 The light of the magic gem goes out.
 Then Volfot slams the stone to the ground.
 The red gem shattered and scattered.

 Exhaling roughly, Volfot was indignant.

 I narrow my eyes.

 Pathetic.
 The naked king.....
