The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Joint Combat Practice 2 (5)

Disaster falls in the sky. The roar of the dragon seems to directly scratch the eardrums.

“Aaaahhh!”

“Run! Everyone run! We need to get off this island!”

Students in panic began to run out all at once in the direction of the residential building connected to Maxes Bridge.

While everyone was running out of the nail salon in fear, I swallowed my dry saliva and looked up at the sky.

When Seongchangryong Velbroke raises one foot, a huge storm arises.

It’s not magic. It is a simple physical phenomenon. Just swinging one front foot is enough to change the air currents of the island.

―Kwakwang! Kang!

scratch.

No, it was closer to an explosion sound.

Velbroke’s feet pushed past the residential building in the distance. A huge storm follows.

Just like that, half of the residential building was blown away. It happened in an instant.

Buildings that should be attached to the ground fly in the sky, and occasionally you can see images of people getting caught up in the air.

There is no estimate as to how many casualties there will be. Probably enormous.

The cause of death was Velbroke’s kick. These are people who died simply because they were in the residential building at the time the kick passed.

On the contrary, the people here in the teaching building were just lucky.

If Belbroke had struck the teaching building first, the students in the teaching building would most likely have died.

Just one kick.

As a result, the wind blows and knocks all the students down. As the panicked crowd collapses, everyone is crushed, injured, and broken.

“Aaaahhh!”

“What are you doing? Stand up quickly…!”

“B, but… but…”

Some students grit their teeth and get up and run away, but most of them look at the sky without even being able to say a word.

Everyone ends up thinking the same thing. Will I be able to survive if I run away? In fact, isn’t it already a dead life?

―Taaa!

As I ran across the floor, I took out a gold ring from my pocket. It is ‘Glast’s Golden Phoenix Ring’.

I activated the ring’s function and drew out all my magical power to its limit.

I didn’t even know what the limit was. Because it is an object with a clear penalty, there is no choice but to use it while controlling its power.

But now is not the time to think about penalties. All available means had to be used.

It is unclear how strong the counter-payoff will be. In addition to not being able to use magical power for several years, my sense of using magical power would burn out and degenerate, or in extreme cases, it would be life-threatening.

However, if you stay still, you will die.

“Krrrrgh!”

I gritted my teeth and endured the burden on my body from the overload. However, he didn’t stop running.

―Whaaaaaaaa!

By releasing mana into the surrounding area… it fully manifests Merilda, the high-ranking spirit of the wind.

Normally, just summoning a human form that maximizes magic efficiency would be a huge burden for the spirit.

However, as I gave up on the future and gathered my magical power almost to the limit, I still had a lot of magical energy left even after manifesting the wind wolf.

―Kaaaaaaaaa!

Soon, Merilda fully appeared and descended, crying. The majesty of a wolf the size of a house still remains.

“What about Yenika?”

[ I don’t know…! I’m still at the combat training center… I have no choice but to leave it to Tarkan for now…! ]

―Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A loud noise rings out again. This time, it was the work of the dragon that covered the skies.

―Huuuuuuk.

It rained. Of course, it’s not real rain.

Dragon scales pouring down from the sky. When you watch those old blockbuster war movies, it feels like you’re watching a parade of arrows being fired by hundreds of thousands of troops at once.

The thin scales that fill the sky are smashed to the ground without mercy.

―Kwakwang! Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

Shards of the marble floor fly out and trees along the street fall. Benches and fountains near the square are all starting to break, not to mention the glass of the buildings.

I poured out a large amount of my remaining magical energy to create a defensive magic, but it was immediately broken through.

―Whaaaaaaaa!

However, the blowing wind blocked the scales. It is the protection of storms and waves. Even though I didn’t do anything, the always-on skill that blocks deadly enemy attacks has already been lost.

[ Ugh! ]

Merilda, who barely managed to block the scales heading towards her, moaned for a moment and then spoke.

[Where are you going?! Are you going to join Yenika first?! ]

“No, there’s something I need to check…!”

I had to find the reason why the scenario’s final boss, Velbroke, appeared right now.

Since the relationship was already so twisted, I didn’t even think that it would go on as is. I made up my mind that no matter how twisted it was, I would handle it as much as I could.

But isn’t this level of twist too much?

If the scenario goes wrong, the most likely cause is me. If we find the cause, there may be a way to put that dragon to sleep again.

But there is no time. What you can do is limited.

“Ugh!”

I pulled out the scales that the storm’s protection could not completely block from my body. The scales pulled from the shoulder bounced on the floor several times along with traces of blood.

First of all, isn’t the third act in progress now? In that case… let’s first look at the main characters in Act 3. It would be difficult to say that characters who appear later have already had an influence on the third act.

Then the first things that come to mind are Adele and Clarisse. Adele’s whereabouts are difficult to predict, but Clarisse knows where she is.

“Run to the Trix building first!”

A sharp pain surges from the ring on my hand. If I use magical power beyond my permitted limits, I must pay the price. Now even the cost has been postponed.

But it can’t be helped. I did my best to suppress my magic and got on Merilda’s back.

* * *

“You must run away, saintess!”

With a loud bang, the door was kicked down and two cathedral knights entered the conference room. The tone was half-screaming.

“The situation outside right now…”

“Ah… I know. We have to take care of the others and move quickly…!!”

Clarice was also checking the situation outside the window. A dragon of ridiculous size. The existence that could only be confirmed in mythology had already appeared in the sky above Sylvania Academy.

The moment Clarice stood up from her seat, an earthquake struck the Trix Building. It was the aftermath of Belbroke destroying half of his living quarters.

“Aaaaaaaah!”

Clarisse screamed and slipped on the floor, and the cathedral knights also stumbled back and forth.

Various office supplies and documents on the conference room table rolled across the floor. All the antique paintings hanging on the walls rolled on the floor from the vibrations, all the glasswork was broken, and all the windows were cracked and not functioning properly.

“Saint. Please take my hand…! Escort me to the prepared carriage…!”

―Whaaaaaaaa!

The sensation of the divine protection of the holy law surrounding the saint’s body being activated. As soon as Clarisse felt that sensation, she got goosebumps.

When I turned my head, I saw a few dragon scales stuck on the back of the saint. Although there were a few scratches on the surface of the skin, almost all of its power was somehow nullified by the protection of the holy law.

A procession of scales digging into the broken window.

Although she couldn’t penetrate that body because of her divine protection, if she were an ordinary girl, she would have definitely suffered fatal injuries.

However, soldiers are different.

“Ugh… gasp…! gasp…!”

“Ears, ears… my ears…!”

One person had his right ear cut off. The remaining one was accurately pierced through the mokuldae.

When Clarisse saw the blood flowing, all the skin on her body rose. If it weren’t for the saint’s protection, he would have ended up like that.

The knight who had been hit directly in the neck was rolling on the floor in pain, but the knight whose ear had been cut off clenched his teeth to stop the bleeding and grabbed the saint’s wrist.

“You… have to… go out…”

Clarice’s legs were shaking and she couldn’t move. The knight somehow led Clarisse to the hallway of the Trix Building.

However, even the knight had no choice but to fall down, clutching his side. It was only now that I saw it. The large scales on the side were also pierced precisely.

He tried his best to suppress the bleeding, but the knight’s consciousness was becoming hazy.

“Run like this… along the hallway… in the central hallway… toward the back door…”

He told me to leave it behind. Clarisse tried to say something to the knight with a face full of tears, but the knight desperately shook his head. Then he pushed Clarisse’s back, saying there was no time to hesitate.

With a half-crying face, I run down the hallway with trembling legs. Clarice ran like that for a while, falling over and over again due to the earthquake, until she reached the crowded lobby of the Trix building.

As I ran towards the back door, I found a carriage that had been attacked by scales but was relatively unharmed. The saint’s carriage was parked behind the Trix building, so it was able to use the building as a shield to be fairly safe from the scale bombardment.

Of course, the front of the building is miserable. It is safe to say that it is a sea of blood. The saint forced her eyes shut and ran, but she could not help her teeth chattering due to fear.

“The carriage is also broken, saint!”

The coachman delivered the sad news. The only thing that seemed fine about the carriage was its exterior.

No matter how much I used the exterior wall of the building as a shield, it wasn’t perfect and one of the wheels fell off.

Still, one horse was lucky enough to be safe. The coachman, with a trickle of blood leaking from his head, came over and picked Clarisse up. He sat him down on the remaining horse and gave him the reins.

Clarisse has never ridden a horse. Since the horse that pulled the carriage was taken out, it does not even have a proper saddle. Just by placing myself on that wide back, my body was already starting to tremble.

“Hold tight to the reins, saint. This is a well-trained horse. It will take you across the Maxes Bridge and out of Aken Island.”

“I… I don’t like horseback riding…”

“Just hold the reins tight and hold the horse’s neck tight.”

There was no time to explain further. The driver hit the horse on the butt and started it off.

The horse hissed and neighed and started running like crazy.

“Aaaahhh!”

A low hill where the Trix Museum is located. The speed of the horses galloping down that downhill road was incredible. Clarice looked around to regain her senses and regretted it.

The front door of the Trix Building, covered in blood… was so horrible that I can’t even describe it. The number of casualties from the storm of scales that just hit… will definitely exceed one hundred.

Clarice held the horse’s reins tightly with trembling hands and looked up at the sky.

The gigantic head of Seongchangryong overlooks Sylvania Academy.

One day, he was sealed by the Sword Saint of the Beginning and suffered in the deep sea for a long time, but the great sage of Aken Island eventually maintained and repaired the broken seal, so he was unable to escape.

If you look at the academy that the great sage built, you will feel unbearable anger. This is Belbroke’s disgust itself.

An astronomical amount of magical power gathers in the dragon’s mouth. The amount is so enormous that the gathering magical energy can be seen even from a great distance.

Magic that only appears in mythology. Dragon’s Breath.

Just by gathering and discharging magical power like that… it was a magic powerful enough to easily blow away half of Aken Island.

Sylvania Academy… flies away with just one hit. That much was certain.

As a magic circle large enough to fill the sky rose around the dragon’s mouth… most of those at Sylvania Academy sensed death. The same was true for Clarice.

―Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-aaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It’s almost as if another sun has risen.

The direction was straight toward Sylvania Academy.

―Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

However, the dragon’s breath did not reach Sylvania Academy. This side was implementing magic at an absurd level.

Highest level defensive magic, large-scale magic neutralization barrier.

Clarisse raised her head and looked at the Trix Building, where the headmaster of Sylvania Academy and the war hero of the Cloel Empire, ‘Guardian Obel’, was standing on the rooftop, looking up at the dragon’s face.

A gorgeous and stately wizard robe that only the principal can wear. He was wearing a robe hat, revealing his short-cut hair, and was wielding a huge staff.

No matter how much of a hero Obel is, he cannot completely block magic of that scale. All you have to do is turn and bounce as much as possible.

―Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! bang!

Soon, the dragon’s breath changes direction and rises into the distant sky.

In this way, the destruction of the Academy was postponed. Although it is only for a short time.

―Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

There is no time to rest. Next is a physical attack.

Velbroke’s attack is so lethal that it can blow up an entire school. Just when this gigantic dragon lifts one foot, the heavens and earth shake.

And across the sky, the direction heads toward the obel on the roof of the Trix Building. The moment when Obel was about to unleash his highest level defense magic again.

―Kaaaaaaaaaaa!

A girl floating in the air implements a huge barrier ceremony to block the dragon’s huge hand.

The body size is small. The large brim of the witch’s hat, which she wears tightly on her head for fear of it flying away, is enough to cover her entire upper body.

Her beautifully tied white hair was blowing in the wind in the sky.

Even from this far away, Clarice was clearly recognizable.

The second year head of the Magic Department and the greatest genius at Sylvania Academy. Lucy Mayril was born with a talent so great that it put even the most talented wizards to shame.

The rare genius wizard looked up at Belbroke’s head and thought.

Someday, if there is a huge threat that this school can’t handle, be sure to reach out and ask for help. That was Glokt’s will.

I had to promise to do as he said, but I never thought that the other person would be the mythical Seong Chang-ryong.

Still, Lucy looked straight up into the sky and brought out the magic in her body.

To fight with all your might. Perhaps this is the first time this girl has experienced this in her short life.

In the first place, there was no worthy opponent in the world until now.

―Paaaaaaaaaaa!

The heavy dragon’s hand was thrown away by the highest telekinetic magic that Lucy had chanted.

In the aftermath alone, strong winds swept through the area. The trees shook to their limits and all the people in the teaching building were swayed.

“Aaaahhh!”

Even the horse that Clarice was riding was blown away by the wind. Clarice fell off the horse while hanging on to the back of the horse, but luckily she fell onto the soft grass.

It was partly because he was light to begin with, and because he rolled and fell a few times, the impact was greatly alleviated, so he didn’t break anything.

However, Clarice moaned several times as she rolled on the floor in pain. It took about a few minutes to get up again.

“Ugh… Ugh….”

Clarice, who managed to get her battered body up, went towards the fallen horse again. First of all, it was important to run away as far as possible.

However… Clarice, seeing the horse’s condition, kept her mouth shut. Because the situation was so urgent, I didn’t notice, but this horse also had dragon scales on one of its legs and belly.

The coachman chose the ‘best’ horse and gave it to him. There was hope that it would run all the way to the outside of Aken Island, but unfortunately, as the horse fell, its scales got stuck deeper and reached its vital area.

The blood of the horse flowing freely soaks the floor. Even the hem of the saint’s pure white dress was soaked in soggy blood.

“Ah ah….”

When you look at the sky, it is a scene of the apocalypse.

A small genius wizard falls after being hit by a dragon’s bombardment and gets stuck halfway up the mountain, but soon shakes himself off, stands up, and rises again into the sky.

A ridiculous amount of magical energy swirls around Obel, who is chanting the highest elemental magic.

The magical procession launched all at once is like a fireworks display. It was so bright that you could clearly see it no matter where you were on Aken Island.

“Uuuuu…”

There was nothing Clarice could do as she sat down on the hillside of the Trix Building. I had to hold back my tears, grit my teeth, and think of another way.

If you don’t have a horse, you have to go towards Maxes Bridge on foot. It was just as I was trying to force myself to get up.

―Whaaaaaaaaaa!

A warm wind, different from before, calmly spreads from the center of the hill. What soon appears is a giant wolf that has rushed over.

Merilda, who landed lightly with her body the size of a house, lied down and made it easier for Ed to get down to the floor.

Ed jumped off Merilda’s back and quickly ran towards Clarice, who was sitting around the horse’s corpse.

“Eh Ed… Senior….”

“You’re safe, Saint.”

Ed didn’t look that good either. There were traces of being hit by scales, and he was clearly tired from running out of magical energy.

Meanwhile, the sight of her running all the way here… Clarisse’s voice trembled.

“How can I… how am I here…”

“I was running out to the Tricks building. I’m sure VIPs from the Saints will be meeting here. I don’t think we have time to talk in detail.”

Ed grabbed Clarisse’s wrist tightly and lifted her up. Clarice, who had never been forcibly lifted up by a man’s force, was inwardly surprised by the sound of her body being lifted.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Oh no… I… ride the… horse towards the Maxes Bridge…”

“There is no point in going out to the Maxes Bridge now. You will be killed. “I’m completely paralyzed because of the crowds.”

As Ed ran to the high ground with Merilda, he looked toward the Maxeth Bridge. It was probably vaguely visible in the Trix building, but due to the urgent situation, Clarisse was unable to check that aspect.

“Then… what about the other bridge…?”

“It’s all the same. And there’s no way you can get out of that dragon’s attack range just by running a little.”

If I decide to do so, I will blow up this island right now. When I think about it like that, I just wonder if running away is a meaningful option. Clarice couldn’t help but shed tears of fear.

Ed quickly rolled up his coat, wiped away Clarice’s tears with the collar of his shirt, and walked her with a firm grip on her wrist.

“For now, it is better for us to evacuate to a safe place.”

“Is it a safe place…?”

“Needless to say, it is the Ofilis Hall. Basically, it is a place where high-level defense magic is surrounded. It is not normally activated, but in the current situation, the maid leader, Bell Maia, would have activated the magic formula in the management office.”

No matter how high-level defensive magic is, Velbroke can easily break through it if he decides to do so.

Still, the probability of being swept up in the aftermath of a scale attack or other magic and being killed would be minimal.

From Ed’s perspective, it would have been better for the next destination to be the Ofilis Museum.

First of all, the saint has been secured, and nothing seems strange right away. Then, Adele is next, but she is not easy to find.

If you can’t find Adele, it’s better to check the next important people first. In that respect, Ofilis Hall is a place where all kinds of important people gather.

“That…”

“Saint Clarice. Be strong.”

Ed’s hand holding Clarice’s wrist tightened. A red handprint was left on the thin and delicate wrist.

It seemed like that will was coming through, and Clarice was able to gather her mind even though she was in pain.

Ed picked up Clarice and placed her on the back of Merilda’s neck. As she continued to push from below, Clarice was able to climb up Merilda’s back, pulling her fur with difficulty.

Ed also quickly grabbed hold of him and ran over to sit on Merilda’s back.

“You have to hold on tight.”

He pressed his elbow against the back of the saintess, who was tightly clutching Merilda’s fur. Just like that, Merilda ran towards the still intact part of the living building. There, the Ofilis Building was located.
