The door was blown away.
There was a loud sound and then the crushed door flew through the air, travelling across the cla.s.sroom to the other side of the almost completely demolished wall. A pale leg was stretched out from the side of the corridor. In other words, the door had been kicked down. By a girl. “Masaki, are you safe?” The person who turned up was s.h.i.+rley. “Ah… I’m glad that you weren’t near the door.” “Hm? Ah, that’s right.” She laughed as if nothing was wrong. Ishounuma’s face was twitching. “Why are you here… I see, Masaki told you come here in advance, right!?” “Nope, I came here by myself.” “I thought that something dangerous might be happening. Masaki’s reckless.” “That’s right. After yesterday, I didn’t think that something like this would happen today.” Perhaps it was the girl behind s.h.i.+rley who found this place. “…The trace that was keeping track of Masaki-kun’s location got cut off over here.” Alice recited calmly. She must have been a little worried. “Hey, is it that simple to check up on the location of other people?” “…Depending on the time and situation.” In place of Alice who dodged the question, s.h.i.+rley gave an answer. “In Breaker’s headquarters I requested ‘an emergency order to monitor you because of abnormal behavior.'” “Isn’t that abusing your power!?” If they weren’t deceiving anyone, and if it was just the two of them, then everything might have been overlooked. “Well, this time I was saved.” “Really? But it seemed like you were winning?” Masaki loosened his clenched fist and smiled. No matter how violent Ishounuma was, he wouldn’t do something bad in this situation. The other three that were with him hung their heads with resigned looks on their faces. It was settled. In the cla.s.sroom full of rubble from the destroyed ceiling and the wall where the window was, everything up to the large monitor had been destroyed. s.h.i.+rley was at the doorway towards the rear and Alice was behind her. Masaki was in the center. Ishounuma was extremely close to him. Until now, he had been going wild with his Dialect, but now he hung his head helplessly. The three people with Ishounuma were gathered together near the door at the front of the cla.s.sroom. They had lost the will to fight from the beginning even though they had been brought along to surround Masaki. The video and sound recording seemed to be jammed, but the evidence of Dialect being used was left behind. Next, it would be finished when they contacted Breaker. It should have been––settled. Ishounuma touched the Ring Gear on his left hand. A window opened. There was an image of an apple with angel wings dancing––
Do you eat an apple? Please touch, if it is as a wis.h.!.+
Low toned laughter broke out. Masaki looked at Ishounuma’s face and started to get a bad feeling when he saw the abnormal look in his eyes “What did you do?” “I’ll f.u.c.king kill you… and after that… I’m going to torment Sakurazaka until she goes mad with anger and despair…” “You’re still saying things like that?” “I’ll start now!!” Ishounuma struck the apple in the window.
Yes! You ate an apple! Welcome to “truth in the world”!!
His body was trembling. Masaki put himself on guard in this troubling situation. s.h.i.+rley shouted out to the three frightened people in the corner of the cla.s.sroom. “I have a bad feeling! Run away now!” The men screamed and tried to open the door in front of the cla.s.sroom shaking it and making it rattle. “Huh!? What’s going on?!!” “Hey, hurry up!!” “It won’t open!” On that subject, tape was put on the doors to this cla.s.sroom outside. The tape on the front door wasn’t cut. Ishounuma was bent backwards as he started to hum. Happily. It seemed happy. Rhythmically. And he looked calm. His smile was so big that it seemed like something good was happening. “Oi, Kusunoki.” “Wh-what?” He felt pressured but he didn’t take it upon himself to move back. Whatever att.i.tude he had, Ishounuma was Ishounuma. His Dialect was fireb.a.l.l.s, but his specialty was long distance. He should be safe if he was in arm’s reach. “Are you possibly thinking that you have a chance at winning?” “Don’t deny it… as soon as I got close to you, it was my win.” “A moment ago, I wasn’t able to use it right in front of me––that’s what you said.” “Yes…” “Forget about it. The me from a while ago was weak and a piece of trash. Until a moment ago, right.” “What are you… saying?” Masaki instantly understood from his att.i.tude. s.h.i.+rley shouted. “Masaki, run away!” “!?” He jumped back. Ishounuma drew back his hands until they were a shoulder-width apart facing each other. He created a fireball with both hands at the same time. All the people watching had their breath taken away. It exploded. The explosion that occurred was so big that it seemed like it would devour an entire body. Masaki was blown away, having received the shockwave of it. “Uaaa!!” He fell onto the scattered rubble and pain shot through his shoulders and legs. s.h.i.+rley shouted something, but the thunderous sound overshadowed it. The three men screamed. It was fortunate that the cla.s.sroom’s walls and ceiling were no longer there. If the s.p.a.ce had been more closed, the occupants of the room would have been seriously injured. The sound of loud laughter could be heard. Ishounuma stood uninjured in the middle of the room where the explosion’s smoked had faded. Self-confidence was pasted all over that face. “Kuha! That power was incredible! But even though I got caught up in the explosion I didn’t get hurt at all! Perfect! Now my ability is complete!” “What the h.e.l.l… do you mean?” Masaki rose up from among the debris. Since he was attacked in such a flashy manner, his shoulder and leg received blows. His uniform was torn, and he was also bleeding. s.h.i.+rley rushed over to him. “Are you alright!?” “I’m not unhurt, but I’m fine. Other than that, be careful. He started up that strange application again a second ago. That’s probably one of its effects… it’s like he has become another person.” “Yeah, strong like a changed man! Maybe like a Level 7.” She stood in front of Masaki in order to protect him. Ishounuma laughed scornfully. “Am I a Level 7 now ? No! I’m more than that! I’m now the ruler of the world!!” He raised his right hand exaggeratingly. Alice, who had only been watching from the doorway the entire time, came into the cla.s.sroom. “…What a ridiculous thing to say.” “What the h.e.l.l?” Alice’s eyes and voice were cold. s.h.i.+rley also nodded. “Levels don’t matter! Only an idiot would say that he’s a ruler or something!” “Honestly” Masaki thought. You only hear about things like “Ruler of the world” in children’s programs. Alice continued to talk. “…A truly ridiculous lie… the King of this world is me.” “Eh!?” Masaki and s.h.i.+rley’s voices overlapped. Come to think of it, Alice was that kind of person. It was troubling that she a.s.serted it so seriously. Ishounuma moved his open right hand towards Alice. “Ha! If that’s the case, then I’ll blow you away before Kusunoki!” “…Do you wish to challenge the King?” “I’ve changed. I don’t need to be frightened by Level 7s anymore!” “…I’ll teach this conceited fool his place. However much you change is inconsequential before my fairies.” Alice took out playing cards from her pocket. When she spread them out the sound of trumpets started. And out of nowhere the sound of a clock. Gacchi, gacchi, gacchi… A large number of footsteps could be heard. The sound of high-pitched chattering, laughter and crying gradually increased in volume. And then the creak of a door. Wonder Carnival had begun. A huge cat appeared out of empty s.p.a.ce in front of Alice. It was a Ches.h.i.+re Cat with a broad grin. The six-meter long cat started a punch. Ishounuma extended his right hand. “Burst!” The released fireball drove away the Ches.h.i.+re Cat just before it’s cat punch hit its target. The cat screamed in a un-cat-like manner and vanished in the same way as it had appeared. No, only its smiling face floated in the air. It opened its mouth. Ishounuma held out his left hand let loose another fireball. A second explosion occurred, and this time the Ches.h.i.+re cat disappeared. By that time, the card soldiers were already lined up in front of Alice. “Gu~uns in position!!!!” Geese were raised like guns. The word “BANG,” spelled out with letters, flew out of their open mouths. Ishounuma responded to the attack with his fireball; the fireb.a.l.l.s and letters of BANG collided then exploded. Countless letter bullets were shot at the erupting blaze that was spreading out. Flying fish were also flying around. Gargantuan mice were crawling on the ground towards him. Countless explosions occurred in retaliation to their attack. “Uooooooooooooooooooooooo––––––––––!!” Ishounuma screamed. It was a struggle for supremacy between the two. A Dialect war of attrition. Can she overcome him? Masaki became anxious and looked over at Alice. She sat on a giant tortoise and the card soldiers were fanning her with peac.o.c.k feathers. Certainly, due to the erupting blaze, the room temperature had risen quite a bit but… “Are-are you okay Alice!?” “…Do I need to make it known to Masaki-kun too?” “Huh?” “…Who do you think I am?” “Then, can you win?” “…Naturally.” Alice pointed at Ishounuma. Maybe she had a trump card. “…s.h.i.+rley, attack him.” “Huh!” Masaki was the only one that was bewildered as s.h.i.+rley raised her voice and gave an energetic “Alright!!” “What, what are you going to do, s.h.i.+rley?” “Nihaha, leave it to me!” She went into motion like a baseball pitcher. “One, twooo!! Staaar–– Blaaaaast––––––!!” The fairies were attacking and Ishounuma was intercepting them with his fireb.a.l.l.s ceaselessly. In the battlefield the dazzling flashes made it seem like the sun was falling. It didn’t feel hot. And yet, the fairies that came into contact with it were extinguished instantly. Ishounuma spread out his hands and made fireb.a.l.l.s while screaming––they were completely swallowed up by the light without achieving any result and disappeared. “Guoooo!?” A flash of light came out of the side of Ishounuma’s head whose face was twitching. Was he beheaded!? s.h.i.+rley ran in order to shorten the distance before the light disappeared. “Teiiiyaaaa!!” A flying knee kick sunk into Ishounuma’s flank. “Aaaah!?” It might have been that because she was light, but s.h.i.+rley’s finis.h.i.+ng moves were often high kicks and knee kicks. So he wasn’t surprised by the last attack but… Masaki stared in wonder. “Did you charge through the flash of light that you shot?!!” Alice shrugged. “…Star Blast’s effect is that it releases a flash of light. The outbreak time for the flash of light is 0.5 seconds. I’m not limited by it and can keep on shooting it repeatedly.” “What the h.e.l.l!?” “…Even if the fireball had become a little stronger… it was only a petty thing. That’s the truth.” Masaki remembered him saying that his Dialect had powered up. He thought that he was simply trying to provoke him but… “Did he really mean it? Even if it became easier to use at a short distance with the increase in power, it still isn’t much against s.h.i.+rley’s Dialect.” So she was the only one that could move through the light that could be created limitlessly and held an overwhelming amount of destructive power. “…She wasn’t aware of it but… that was something like foul play.” “Of course.” Foam bubbled from Ishounuma’s mouth and he dropped. s.h.i.+rley crossed her arms, standing in a somewhat unclear victory pose. Alice smiled. “…Strong like a cheat… my 667th piece.” “Wait a minute, isn’t she your friend!?” “…Our friends.h.i.+p is wonderful.” “You, you’re really broken aren’t you…” “Hmph… the King doesn’t need mediocre things.” “That’s worrying.” At the edge of his vision he saw the three men trembling, grouped together at the corner of the cla.s.sroom. They didn’t seem to be deeply involved with it. Masaki sighed in relief. “Even so, you saved me… thanks. If it was just me, I wouldn’t have been able to beat up the powered-up Ishounuma. It’s all thanks to Alice and s.h.i.+rley.” “…It was nothing… s.h.i.+rley won by herself.” “You think? s.h.i.+rley is strong, but it would have been difficult to protect me and the other three from the fireb.a.l.l.s by herself, right?” “Hmm… well I guess that’s true.” “Weren’t the fairies protecting them by acting as a s.h.i.+eld?” “Ah, them… I didn’t know since they came out and acted of their own accord.” “Really? If your will wasn’t pa.s.sed onto them, don’t you think that it wouldn’t be strange if even s.h.i.+rley and I were attacked?” Alice blushed and looked away. She was trying to hide her face. “…Right. That might happen next time. Since it’s dangerous, I shouldn’t get close. I can’t guarantee my own safety.” Masaki smiled wryly. Masaki stopped talking as it seemed like she was starting to get angry. In his mind, he thanked her once again. s.h.i.+rley took off Ishounuma’s bangle. The jamming application appeared to have stopped and the transmission was restored. Masaki retrieved his gla.s.ses from his breast pocket. Then put them on his face. The other members of Breaker and the teachers who knew about the situation came running in, and at last the situation reached a resolution.
