The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Student Council President Election (8)

– crackle crackle.

There was always the sound of burning firewood coming from the hut in the Rameln Mountains.

I push the fluffy blanket up to below the bridge of my nose.

Lucy was always lying asleep somewhere nearby. I don’t often wear things like bedding around my body.

However the unusual situation of being wrapped tightly in a blanket is because I have a bad cold.

Although she was destined to become a master of magic in the future she is only a girl who has just entered puberty.

All girls of that age are like that.

When it rains it’s okay to just stay in the corner of the cabin but there are many cases where you catch a cold while wandering around the mountains.

Even though his magic skills are increasing at an absurd rate it is still in a transitional stage so it is inevitable that he will not be able to completely protect himself from the surrounding environment.

There was an old man poking around with a poker over a crackling campfire.

All I can see is the back.

However just by looking at his bent back and rolled shoulders he appears to be a small old man looking at the twilight of his life.

It is said that there was definitely a heyday. Of course this was before Lucy was even born.

It is said that he traveled the continent studied all kinds of high-ranking magic took on numerous disciples met loved ones started a family made a name for himself in the academic world became the number one contributor to the subjugation of high-ranking monster tribes and received praise from the imperial family several times.

It is said that it is a life of running at full speed down the wide open road.

I evaluate myself by saying that I have achieved more achievements than anyone else in my life as I ran forward without looking back.

However the archmage’s last years were coming to an end at the edge of a mountain range where no one traveled.

What happened and what did you experience?

Not even his countless disciples or his beloved family were by his side… He looks like he is alone in a hut tinkering around a campfire.

The only relationship left for him… There was only one girl who could not even be called a disciple.

– ‘In the first place if you roll around in the rain it hurts and that’s it.’

– ‘You will most likely become an unrivaled and strong wizard in no time.’

– ‘There will definitely come a time when the feeling of pain will become a distant memory that was felt only in the distant past.’

– ‘It will become increasingly rare to lie down with body aches like this or suffer direct injuries.’

It is unclear how deeply immature Lucy will understand why she says such things.

Still Glockt placed meaning in speaking itself.

– ‘Because of innate abilities life becomes boring or everything seems meaningless.’

– ‘People who lack… ‘You will meet so many people that you will get kicked in the soles of your feet who dedicate their lives to the things you do so easily and simply.’

– ‘So make sure to keep that feeling now.’

The day will surely come when even the feeling of pain becomes a distant memory that was felt only in the distant past.

It may be impossible to know what that fact means to Lucy now but… At least we could tell that Glokt wanted to convey something.

This is because even those memories had already been deposited in the distant past.

– Shoot!

Spring rain hits my skin.

When you cross the rose garden of Ofilis Hall maids and students completely frozen and trapped in a time prison are lined up like stone statues.

Lucy who was staggering between them held on to her hat and looked up at the sky. The rain keeps falling pressing heavily on my body.

Few people know her but Lucy respects and recognizes those who have a zest for life even though she is born with a lazy nature. He doesn’t go out of his way to show off or help but he never looks down on criminals or denigrates them as meaningless.

Needless to say it is Glokt’s influence.

If you walk around the Rameln Mountains with half-open blank eyes you can’t help but see with your own eyes the passion that the old man has for life.

He gave up all the achievements he had made during his long life and became a small shabby old man who tried to live a meaningful life even though he was left alone in the mountains.

When I came to my senses I realized that I had feelings for Ed that were more than just goodwill and it was probably because I internally recognized the way he held on to his life and moved forward steadfastly even when he was pushed into a corner.

At least he wasn’t a man who deserved to die in vain like this.

“… “You liar old man.”

Did you say that someday when you become a powerful wizard the feelings of pain and hardship will become a forgotten memory of the distant past?

However the thing that creeps up in my chest is the ‘pain’ that I had forgotten about.

What is truly valuable is something that becomes more important only after it has been lost.

Lucy already knows that fact well from experience.

And I didn’t want to experience it twice.

There was nothing special about the times we sat around the campfire chomping at grilled fish or the times we lay on Ed’s lap while he was reading a book and stared blankly at the sky.

But the fact that those things were truly valuable… You probably didn’t know.

How fragile is a human being.

Although he is gifted with such enormous talent that he can handle all kinds of high-level magic like limbs and even historical geniuses shake their heads…

It is truly ironic that just the death of one person can cause such bitterness and pain.

– Quang!

At that time a huge explosion occurred beneath Lucy’s feet as she trudged towards the main entrance of the Ofilis Building.

A huge amount of smoke rose and intense heat covered the area but Lucy blew away all the aftereffects with a wave of her hand.

“It was a conversion in its own way.”

What kind of people did Lucy overcome just by walking up to the main gate of Ofilis Building?

Ofilis Hall Maid Chief Belle Maia 4th grade Magic Department Chief Patrician Bloomriver 4th year Pension Department Chief Dorothy Whitefeltz 3rd year Combat Department Chief Drake Ragers Senior Maid Up to 14 maids.

If she faced that much power alone with a body without a single scratch there is no one inside this Ophilis Hall who can stop Lucy.

The girl who stopped Lucy now must also know very well that there is no such thing as victory.

Elvira the chief meddler in the 2nd year pension department.

She is armed with all kinds of magical engineering supplies alchemy reagents and basic magic skills… In the first place her actual combat skills were not that great compared to other senior students.

“I thought you were a more rational person Lucy.”

“… ”

Lucy’s cold eyes quietly look at Elvira who is standing guard at the entrance.

“No actually you still maintain some degree of reason right?”

A rose garden filled with magic formulas given by Lucy the maids who were all suppressed and trapped in the magic ball time prison that fills the sky above the Ofilis Building.

Although it may seem like she is making a nonsensical joke there is a clear ‘line’ in Lucy’s reckless behavior.

Unnecessary acts of destruction have been suppressed to some extent and of course there have been no casualties. If he really loses his temper he seems willing to destroy Ophelis Hall but he’s leaving that as a last resort.

Ofilis Hall students are busy escaping. The low-ranking maids are running out through the back door.

Elvira… If I could tie Lucy’s feet even for a moment that was enough.

Move.

But was even that arrogance?

It was just a flick of his arm as if he was clearing away leaves blocking his view in the forest.

With that alone a level of magical power hit Elvira’s body that she could not possibly handle.

It’s not magic either. It is simply a physical force that embodies magical power and pushes it forward.

However Elvira’s body was left stuck in the flower bed.

“Uh huh!”

The difference in power was well recognized.

Elvira’s real purpose was the magical engineering supplies installed near the front door.

Magical power blooms with a clicking sound and magic power rises from the hidden space behind the pillar at the entrance.

You can’t defeat Lucy with mere strength. In that case we have no choice but to rely on compatibility and laws.

No matter how powerful Lucy is she cannot be free from the providence of the world.

When it rains it gets wet and when the wind blows the collar flutters. When the temperature drops cold boiling water eventually evaporates.

The only one who can be free from the providence that forms the foundation of the world is God. Even if it is an aspect magic that twists and breaks providence it cannot be free from the basic principles of magical power.

That’s why Elvira decided to ‘evaporate’ all of her magical power.

When the back of the pillar near the entrance came into view all the magical engineering supplies Elvira had brought with her came into sight. These were items brought from the secret laboratory in a large backpack packed tightly.

At first glance there seem to be dozens. It is impossible to recite the names one by one. It is such a huge amount.

“Hmph!”

Elvira who had fallen wiped the corners of her mouth and stood up gathering all her weak magical power and manifesting a new magic.

As I raised my hand in Lucy’s direction and squeezed it tightly the various magical engineering supplies I had installed began to explode at once.

Krex Magic Separator Noise Generator Elemental Return Stimulator Rakehand Wavesphere Illusion Disk Katlan Magic Purifier… .

The various magical engineering supplies that she had been researching every hour since entering Sylvania were truly the essence of Elvira’s life as a bachelor.

All kinds of magic engineering supplies have different purposes. There were a lot of items that were not particularly suitable for this situation and were not intended for combat use in the first place.

However Elvira’s purpose is not to ‘use’ magic engineering supplies for their intended purpose.

These are all precious inventions that are like my own blood but… Without hesitation Elvira exploded the ‘Krex Magic Separator’ at the front.

Alchemy one of the branches of magic is a discipline specialized in academically analyzing the nature of magical power itself.

An ‘understanding of magic power’ that is different from wizards who wield magic power with only their innate sensitivity. It could also be said to be the specialty of Elvira the head of the Pensions Department.

where… Or look through this too… !”

Elvira took out the ‘Crimson Crystal Reagent’ from her bosom and threw it away.

Lucy reacted quickly and exploded the reagent bottle in the air by clenching her hand but the purpose in the first place was to spray the reagent.

Having achieved her intended goal Elvira quickly jumped out from behind the flower bed.

– Kugugoong Boom! thud!

Crimson crystal reagent is like a lubricant that temporarily increases the fluidity of magical power itself.

Of course magic power is needed to activate magical engineering supplies. However it is not easy to infuse one’s magic into a specific object.

Magic engineering supplies with a simple structure do not consume that much magical energy but as the structure becomes more complex and difficult they consume a significant amount of magical energy.

The original purpose of the Crimson Crystal Reagent is to change the flow of magic power itself to be more sensitive for using magic engineering supplies.

Even if the same amount of magic power is affected by the crimson crystal reagent it can be injected into magic engineering supplies more smoothly.

Although it is just a kind of auxiliary reagent it is a useful item in its own way for alchemists.

Of course Elvira’s intention when she threw the crimson crystal reagent was completely different.

– Coogung Coogung Coogung!

The runaway ‘Crex Magic Separator’ begins to suck up the magic power of the surrounding area.

It is a device that acts as a ‘circuit’ that absorbs magical energy from the surroundings and efficiently provides magical energy to connected magical engineering products.

However if it overloads and goes out of control it becomes a monster that eats up all the surrounding magical power.

If the connected magical engineering supplies work normally the runaway will stop but the problem is that the magical engineering products connected to the magic separator are all connected to all the magical engineering products that Elvira has devoted her entire life to making.

Because time was running out I couldn’t properly calculate the magic efficiency and make connections. I just pushed the circuit in with a bit of determination.

But that was enough. In the first place ‘normal operation’ was not Elvira’s purpose.

The real purpose is to absorb magical power itself.

Lucy’s magic power lubricated by the crimson crystal reagent began to be absorbed by magic engineering supplies so quickly that she could not control it.

All kinds of magic engineering supplies start to run rampant centering around the magic separator.

It exploded created an illusion made a loud noise and made the rose garden noisy.

The sight of all kinds of lights shining brightly emitting smoke and radiating magical power… It’s like a huge magic factory.

It is a magic engineering product with circuits connected in a haphazard manner. Horsepower efficiency is almost at the bottom.

No matter how genius a wizard he is he would not be able to handle that level of magical power on his own.

Yes. If you can’t compete with the power of magic the alchemist’s way is to compete with the law.

But unfortunately the opponent was a force that surpassed even the laws.

– Woe!

In a situation where magic power is being sucked in in an instant the option Lucy chooses is not to somehow control the magic power that is escaping uncontrollably… Rather it radiated magical power.

The runaway magic engineering supplies were unable to handle the influx of magic power… One by one they started exploding.

-Kwaang Kwaang!

-Kwagang Kwagaga River!

With the girl standing still while clutching her hat in the background the magical engineering supplies that Elvira has devoted her entire life to making begin to explode all at once.

mi… Am I crazy… ”

Elvira took a deep breath while rubbing the wound.

Even if it wasn’t exact I was able to roughly calculate the amount of magic power that would be used when all of those magical engineering supplies exploded.

However the units are astronomical. It is not an amount that can be expected academically.

Lucy’s eyes looking back amidst the explosion are quite creepy.

It seemed like he didn’t even show any emotions but I could tell that all kinds of emotions were swirling inside him.

It is impossible to stop that girl. Yes. This is what the ‘area of ​​the impossible’ is.

It’s stupid to pound your head into impossible tasks.

I automatically take a step back due to the overwhelming fear. But Elvira gritted her teeth and stood upright again.

“This is what happened… If you destroy the entrance… !”

She tried to activate basic fire magic but with a single gesture from Lucy Elvira was pinned to the floor and overpowered.

It was a moment that lasted less than a second.

“Oh big… !”

Elvira rolled across the rain-soaked marble floor. She must have chewed her tongue as she fell and there was a bitter taste of iron in her mouth.

As I rolled right in front of Lucy I could see Lucy’s eyes looking down at Elvira.

A primal fear overtakes my body.

There was no killing intent in Lucy’s eyes. Of course. Because he has no intention of causing casualties. He never kills unless he has to.

However I have some confidence that I can do that if necessary… It lingered in Elvira’s mind.

It would be crazy to disturb this girl now.

My brain was screaming like that.

however… Elvira’s hand stretched out through the rain and was grasping Lucy’s ankle.

“… ”

Lucy didn’t say anything else.

Rather it was Elvira who spoke first.

“If you go on like that… You’ll regret it… ”

Is only the mouth alive? Not really.

“I know it’s sad but this doesn’t bring back the dead… Please think about the person you let go… ”

“… ”

“Senior Ed too… You wouldn’t have wanted this… ”

The rain was pouring down for a while.

The spring rain that falls with a whooshing sound hits everything in the world equally.

that… “You will have to decide after meeting Tanya.”

It was the moment when Lucy who was looking down at Elvira was about to activate the time phase magic ‘Time Prison’.

– Kaang!

It was a sword strike so fast that it was difficult to follow it with the eye but it was unable to cut Lucy down.

However I was able to separate Elvira and Lucy.

In an instant Inyoung (人影) who got in between them fired a sword strike towards Lucy once again and Lucy quickly flew towards the rose garden widening the distance.

Elvira was so completely subdued that it was difficult for her to control herself.

He just fell to the floor and tried to grab Lucy by force.

The man who stood straight in front of Elvira and raised his sword… He spat out a curse.

“I really… ..You crazy bastard. He’s crazy… !”

His already long and gloomy hair was soaked in the rain making him look even more gloomy. Eyelids with dark circles were trembling.

Clevious Nortondale 2nd year combat club chief.

He was a boy who unable to control the blood of the Sword Demon killed his own brother and was abandoned by his family leading a gloomy life.

“That… A monster… how… What should I do… Looking at me… X arm… Dog.. !”

The power difference is overwhelming.

Among the students at Sylvania Academy there is no one who can beat Lucy Mayril.

If 100 people see it it is an ordeal that all 100 people will define as impossible. No matter who sees it the right answer is to run away.

There were many opportunities for escape. Lucy didn’t even oppose him. In the first place Clevius’s temperament was not strong enough for Lucy to regard him as an enemy.

Clevius lived the life of a fugitive.

Since I was always running away from the fate engraved in my name the trials and the curse of blood I became accustomed to being called a coward.

It will be the same this time too. Anyone can see that running away is the right answer. No one would blame anyone who ran away.

Nevertheless Clevius drew his sword.

All of the students at Ofilis Hall have not yet been evacuated. Even the maids couldn’t finish everything.

Yes. Trying to do the impossible is a foolish act.

That sentence which he must have constantly recited in his heart appears in Clevius’ heart again.

The view of the rose garden is so entrenched in the eyes of a pathetic loser who has lived his entire life as a fugitive.

The numerous statues that fill the rose garden are traces of the losers. Yes they are all losers.

They are idiots who attacked the great disaster that was Lucy Mayril even though they had a premonition of defeat.

Both this guy and that guy are stupid bastards. They are people who run after romantic words such as duty to protect students and justice but they are not good enough to live up to their command.

The girl alchemist lying behind is no different.

No matter how much I am a second-year member of the pension department there is no way I can stop such a monster alone… He must have known it himself.

But my feet don’t fall off. It’s not someone else’s foot it’s his own foot but his feet don’t listen to him.

female… This place… I can’t pass… X-arm bastard… .!!”

You can’t win in the first place. Then again I don’t know if I can take some time.

Clevius screamed and charged at Lucy with his sword.

Clevius’s body soaring like a hawk headed towards Lucy – whirled and fell with a single gesture from Lucy.

Clevius’ body unable to withstand the magic bullet received a huge shock and flew towards the flower bed rolling over.

This time too it took less than a second to reach a conclusion.

this… this… stupid… Clevious… !!”

Elvira who had fallen gritted her teeth and just stared at the smoke rising from the flower bed.

Lucy sighed softly and looked at Elvira… Eventually he walked back towards the main entrance of Ophilis Hall.

It was crazy to block that path.

*

– Kaang! Kaang!

– Woe!

Ziggs Eiffelstein can handle almost any type of weapon. Even if he had entered the combat club in the first place he was a boy with abilities that were not unusual.

What he was wielding now was the ceremonial rapier that was decorated on the fireplace. It was a combination of the ceremonial rapier swordsmanship learned from the Islan family and applied movements with his own interpretation.

Wade taken aback by the incoming sword attack quickly took a defensive stance.

I thought the sword attack would focus on stabbing but Ziggs’ movements were more free-spirited than expected.

‘no… This… !’

In the first place it was difficult to find a loophole in Ziggs’ abilities which were not limited by weapons.

The life of a beast roaming the northern grasslands and the life of embracing civilization and learning the example of nobility in the Islan mansion.

The swordsmanship that is completed by combining the two is extremely practical but it is also not completely free from theory.

As Wade who has mastered the swordsmanship of a nobleman to the limit… It has surpassed a level that is difficult to deal with. It’s a level you can’t compete with at all.

Although Wade is a strong man who cannot be defeated anywhere if you want to fight him with swordsmanship you have to completely turn over your martial arts background.

‘but… There are no gaps… !’

As he said that it was the moment he struck Ziggs’ wide open side with a sword strike.

-Woe!

-Kaang!

He tried to attack Ziggs’ side taking advantage of his center of gravity being completely shifted to the left but Wade’s sword bounced off. Wade didn’t understand the situation for a moment. Ziggs was in a position where he could never throw the sword away.

But eventually I realized it.

What deflected Wade’s sword was not Ziggs’ sword but magic. The manifested wind blade blocked Wade’s attack.

In the first place this gap was left on purpose. By the time I realized that fact I had already hit her on the back of the neck with the handle of a sword.

“Wow!”

Just like that Ziggs kicked Wade in the stomach. Wade rolled to the corner of the room and fell… After coughing violently a few times he finally calmed himself down and stood up.

“Are you going to do more?”

“Of course Senior Ziggs.”

Wade closed his mouth and stood up glaring at Ziggs again. Only then did I realize the difference in rank.

A fact so self-evident that it’s strange that I’d forgotten it.

Ziggs… He’s a wizard. Swordsmanship is only secondary.

When he realizes that fact he realizes the difference in rank between Ziggs and himself. Nevertheless Wade grinned and laughed.

“Do you think I would give up like this? Senior Ziggs.”

“… ”

nice… Hehehe… Sigh… I am a person who enjoys fighting the strong. “When I got the chance to fight a powerful human from the Ministry of Magic like Senior Ziggs how could I give up so easily?”

Wade laughed and stood up again holding his sword.

more… Please make me happy.”

Ziggs crossed his arms and looked at Wade quietly. And then she slowly closed her eyes and opened them… She spoke slowly.

“That’s ugly Wade. You don’t enjoy winning you enjoy winning. Unless they are guys who have some chance of winning they won’t have that kind of competitive spirit.”

I beg your pardon?

“In the first place… You have a small bowl. Answer me. If you really wanted to fight a truly powerful person there would be no reason to single out me among the second-year members of the Magic Club and challenge me. Isn’t that right?”

The tip of the long rapier is pointed at Wade again.

“The top second year student at the Ministry of Magic is not me but Lucy Mayril.”

Those words cut to the core.

From the beginning Ziggs knew Wade’s intentions through and through.

“It would be convenient to define it as impossible and treat it as an off topic. Because I really don’t see any chance of winning. “It’s impossible to win in the first place.”

that… natural… ”

okay. “That is your bowl.”

Ziggs’ sword strike struck Wade’s sword once again.

“Ugh… !”

Wade was having a hard time just defending himself. They exchanged swords and Ziggs spoke while looking straight into Wade’s eyes.

“Keep your hands strong. “You coward.”

This was the first time I saw Ziggs who always seemed grave swearing. Was even that part of a strategy to embarrass Wade?

Despite Ziggs’ advance warning the sword Wade was holding fell out of his hand. This is because while he was caught off guard he kicked his sword face.

– Kagan kang!

Wade’s sword which flew several times in the air rolled on the floor.

Ziggs’ rapier was pointed straight at Wade’s neck.

“This…” .”

“Are you looking for an excuse? Or are you looking for a reason to admit defeat?”

As it was Wade’s pupils twitched a few times.

There was nothing they could do except express their intention to surrender. This is because it would be crazy to resist even when you are so overwhelmingly pushed back.

It’s not that there is no way to resist.

If you pretend to be crazy and lunge at yourself while clutching the blade of a rapier or if you think about picking up a sword with the intention of getting stabbed somewhere or if you are prepared to risk a fatal wound anyway… The methodologies were endless.

However if you try harder here the wounds will only increase… Wade knew this very well from experience.

Wade unable to overcome that fear… He slowly raised both his hands.

okay… “That is your limit.”

– Quang!

– Coooooo!

It was immediately after that that a collapsing sound was heard from the entrance of the Ofilis Building.

*

It looked more like a huge cannonball hit than a sword attack.

I couldn’t believe it happened with just one sword strike.

The pillar supporting the entrance to Ofilis Hall had completely collapsed.

– Cooooooong boom!

Smoke rises between the raindrops falling steadily.

Before I knew it the boy had jumped out of the flower bed again and was already bleeding from his head.

The figure blocking Lucy’s path again… There is a spirit flowing through them that makes it hard to even call them humans.

Her facial expression and eyes cannot be seen at all because her bangs are soaked from the rain and completely stuck together.

But I guess I hurt my leg… He was just hunched over on one knee clutching the sword in its scabbard.

I can’t win anyway.

If so take some time.

There is no guarantee that something will be resolved by taking time.

I try to hope that some superhuman on a white horse will come along and sort everything out but I feel like that is in vain.

Rain still falling. Ofilis Hall the entrance of which has collapsed.

A sword spirit covered in blood and holding the handle of a sword… She sits quietly with her head down.

There is no swearing like usual and even the person who used to crack up in fear is eerily quiet today.

It seemed as if time had completely stopped around the Sword Demon sitting in silence…

Elvira who was lying down and staring even forgot to exhale for a moment.
