Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 71 ? How Did That Happen? 2
“Oh my, Rene. You’re back.”
Inside the classroom, where her classmates were scattering around in panic, Therese, sitting undisturbed at her desk, calmly called out to me.
Occasionally, the ice that Reinhardt shoots comes flying at her, but she effortlessly blocks it with magic without shifting her gaze. It’s all very graceful.
“W-What in the world…?”
“All of a sudden, Reinhardt came into the classroom and started attacking Willy.”
Maybe he’s upset because I mentioned being hit with a rag by Willy.
But would that be enough to make him this angry?
Even during our conversation, Reinhardt doesn’t let up on his attacks. As the explosion echoed, I tried calling out to Reinhardt with Therese shielding me, but there was no response.
It’s as if he’s completely focused on Willy, ignoring everything else.
“Seriously, calm down! Just talk to me and we’ll figure it out!”
“…”
“Hey, you just aimed for my face, didn’t you!”
Both of them are C-rank, but Willy, who consistently lags behind in his studies, is closer to S-rank in terms of his magic ability.
That’s why he can successfully ward off Reinhardt’s attacks, but with rumors about Reinhardt’s abnormal magic power, the outcome beyond this point remains uncertain.
“Reinhardt! Calm down!”
I desperately called out to him, but he still didn’t respond. With my clunky magic, I couldn’t even stop him.
A typical heroine would promptly intervene, putting herself on the line to stop it. Then, as the men who were fighting witnessed the heroine getting injured and bleeding, they would surely snap back to reality – it’s a classic move.
However, as for me, I don’t want to feel pain. Plus, getting hit by that would be lethal. Besides, when did Reinhardt acquire such tremendous magic power in the first place?
Despite the escalating chaos, the teachers are nowhere to be seen. The onlookers were getting excited, and no one seemed to be trying to stop them. It’s a hopeless situation.
“What should I do…?”
“Do you want me to step in and stop them?”
“No, it’s too risky.”
In terms of rank, Therese is higher than the two of them, but I think it’s wrong for her, a female student, to step in and stop a fight between male students, and I wouldn’t want something to happen to her.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed a familiar blue and gold color beyond the crowd, and I immediately shouted.
“Ah, Yoshida! Save me! Help!”
“….?”
If there’s anyone who can intervene and stop Reinhardt, it’s Yoshida, his mentor. When I called out to him, he glanced at my face, then at the chaotic scene inside the classroom, and his face contorted. It was a natural reaction.
Still, Yoshida, with his glasses and kindness, wore a ‘here we go again‘ expression and entered the classroom. The prince follows behind, maintaining his stoic silence.
“What’s going on here?”
“Reinhardt suddenly attacked Willy…”
“It’s probably something to do with you, as usual.”
“I had a feeling that might be the cau—Ouch!”
A chunk of ice that seemed to have hit the ceiling changed its trajectory and flew toward me, grazing my cheek.
It seems that it broke off due to the considerable force and the sharpness of the ice chunk. As I gingerly pressed my stinging cheek with my right hand, I noticed a faint smear of blood.
“T-Theodore-sama?”
“….”
Suddenly, the prince touched my cheek. I stood there, frozen in surprise, and then I felt my face embraced by a soft light and warmth and the sharp pain in my cheek started to subside. Prince Theodore had healed me with his healing magic.
“Um, thank you.”
“….”
Without saying a word, the prince turned to the two people who were still fighting and calmly held up his right hand.
In an instant, their bodies fell to the floor as if overwhelmed by gravity. A substantial force seemed to be in effect, rendering both Reinhardt and Willy completely motionless, unable to lift a finger.
Of course, I knew that the prince was S-rank, but the sheer magnitude of his magic left me utterly speechless.
Dumbfounded, both Yoshida and I, oblivious to the surrounding audience, watched in awe as the prince, with brisk footsteps, approached the two and cast his gaze downward.
“Don’t mess around.”
The prince’s voice echoes in the silent classroom.
It seems he was indeed angry. I haven’t heard his voice much, so my recollection is a bit fuzzy, but I think his voice was much deeper and sharper than the previous times I heard it.
“I won’t let it slide next time.”
After saying that, the prince lifted the magic restraining the two and left the classroom. Isn’t he too cool?
Despite the current situation, I can’t help but feel a flutter of excitement, but I should probably keep that to myself. That said, what just happened was undoubtedly at a level that would make 300 out of 100 people’s hearts flutter.
Then, Yoshida lightly bumps my head.
“Hey, snap out of it. Let’s handle those two and clean up the classroom. If we’re not careful, we might end up with suspensions.”
“Ah, that’s right! We’ve got to do something about this.”
“I’ll fix the classroom. Rene, you head over to where those two are.”
“Got it. Yoshida, Therese, thank you!”
Yoshida’s voice brought me back to my senses. I thanked the two and quickly made my way towards Reinhardt and Willy.
