Ascendance of a Bookworm

Two in the audience, and one in the stadium where the students meet. Both are far from Aerenfest, but I looked back to the sound too loud. I can see the firepillar going up ahead of me looking back.

"... Ki, kiaaaaaaah!

After a moment of silence, as loud screams emerged from the surroundings, "Gettylt!" and the guard knights around me immediately put out their shields. And take the defensive setup to protect me, the Lord's candidate. As haphazard as it was, the students around them also began to put out shields to protect us, and the Cavalier Apprentices began to move to protect the Lordship Candidates.

While I am protected by the shields of the three escort knights, I will put out the shields of Szeria.

Szczeria, the guardian goddess of the wind, the twelve goddesses who serve the side.

There was a loud explosion nearby to block my prayers, and despite having a shield, several of Aerenfest's untrained civilian and sideline apprentices were flown to play.

"Dangerous!

With his face up, he accidentally tries to reach out, and the voice of reprimand flies.

"Don't move, Master Rosemaine! It's you who's in danger!

I hacked into Leonore's harsh voice and pulled my outstretched hand. At the same time, explosions occur all over the arena. But now the flames don't rise. A flashy noise just sounds here and there. Still, it seemed to work well enough for the students being gathered in the arena, and the screams and confusion just got bigger.

"Our top priority is the safety of Master Rosemaine. Lady Bonifatius said so."

Eudit also looks around with a tough face, while the escort knight is there to protect the clan of lords. Civilians and sidekicks are behind us, he says.

... Calm down. First, make sure it's safe. The healing follows.

Close your eyes so that you do not see the injured, and I pray.

Szczeria, the guardian goddess of the wind, the twelve goddesses of my family who serve my side, who hear my prayers, who give me holy power, who feed me, who keep harmful things away from me, the shield of the wind.

There was a kink and a hard sound, complete with a yellow clear hemispherical shield. Because of the size of getting into the place given to Aerenfest, there are a few students who stood on the edge who are not in range.

"Is everyone in Aerenfest going to let you in? Priority should be given to civilian or side-service apprenticeships who do not have the ability to fight. First year students who can't get their own shields out yet are the top priority."

An upper-class knight apprentice, not close to my word, goes outside the shield and puts the freshman inside instead. Starting with Brother Cornelius, he looked up at the shield of Szeria so that the proximities who were around him could see strange objects.

"Dear Rosemaine, is this...?

"This is the shield of Szczeria. It's a little big for Getty Rut."

"Not a bit, sister"

Charlotte exhales loudly and shakes her head, comparing the shields of Gettylt and Szeria held by the knightly apprentices.

"It is safe for no one in this shield to be hostile to me. And then someone got hurt earlier because the shield in Szeria couldn't make it, right? Come not within my reach. It gives healing."

"It's not that much injury. It's a light abrasion or punch."

I shook my head, though the wounded men said I had no magic.

"I don't know when you will be required to act quickly in this situation. You should leave it in perfect condition. Are the knight apprenticeships who were in Ditter adequate? Recover with your healing pills while you can. I don't know what will happen after this."

"I'm afraid, Master Rosemaine"

Szczeria's shield was put out, healing was given to the injured, and for a moment the safety of Aerenfest was ensured. If we look around to make sure we're safe, we can see that we're divided into a territory that's in turmoil and an immediate defensive position.

Dunkelferger, who seemed to think that they might all be combatants, had all cemented themselves in armor, held shields and rode the horseman from the arena to the audience in turn. Conversely, civilian and side-service apprenticeships without combat skills were in a terrible state of confusion, not knowing where to flee, even to escape from this place, which is dangerous in a territory like the one with the firepillars rising in the audience.

"Wow! Warcraft!

"Down!"

"You guys, get out of the way! Retreat!"

In a terrible state of confusion, I heard screaming here and there, and the knight apprentices around me took a fighting stance again.

"What!? HUGE!?

"Why is Turnis Befalen here!?

It was the Turnis Befalen that had just been knocked down the other day that made him appear, huge from around the center of the noise. Colorful little eyes move slightly on the forehead of a warcraft like a big black dog.

The arena, which was confused by the explosion sound alone, became uncontrollably panicked by the advent of strange warcraft, which became even more immense without the attack prevailing.

"Don't attack! Retreat!"

The central knights ordered that out loud, but they don't seem to be hearing the students in complete panic. He's screaming and waving his weapon at the groans. And every time, the turnis befalen grows bigger.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Turnisbefalen roared. The central knight already has a black weapon. Seems to be moving divided between those who guard the royal family and those who hunt turnisbefalen with black weapons, but the knight apprentices who are panicking and even attacking are pulling their legs.

"Dear Rosemaine, give us a black weapon..."

The knight apprentices of Aerenfest, who defeated Turnisbefalen once, looked at me in unison.

"We are forbidden by the King to use black weapons."

"But..."

Turnisbefalen opened his mouth wide and tried to devour the students. With a single hair, the central knight's attack burst, gaining nothing, but it is clear that someone will soon be sacrificed.

Shortly after I accidentally put out the stapes, a black mountain appeared close to the altar where the royalty was. The Central Knights, who were crusading for the Turnis Befalen in the arena, turn themselves in instantly, giving priority to protecting the royal family over the crusade on the spot.

"Dear Rosemayne, bless you to defeat Turnis Befalen over there"

"Are you abandoning them!?

I don't want to abandon you. However, knight apprenticeships who are not taught in the curriculum of education should not use black weapons even within Aerenfest, as it should be. Of the House of Lords, and you can't use it in front of a king. And I drew my lips together, and looked up at the gallery, which had the power to fight.

That's when the wild voices echo.

"We will help the Knights of the Centre! Permission to use a black weapon!

It's in a different direction from Aerenfest I looked up to. Turning to those who spoke, I saw a Dunkelferger knight lined up in a sloppy line with a blue cape, with Aub Dunkelferger in its front row. I can see each of them laying down their weapons and waiting for the voice of the outing.

"Authorize the use here in territories with black weapons. Finish the black demon!

"Yes!"

With the King's permission, Dunkelferger's blue cloak came down to the arena in unison.

The question arose as to whether Aub could take the lead in the Warcraft crusade or leave the women and the civilians alone. But if you look closely, Dunkelferger already has all the students joining him at the guardian of the audience, and the knight apprentice is protecting everyone. I was too proficient.

As he opened his mouth with Pocan and watched Dunkelferger, the chief cleric came down with Brother Eckhardt and Justkus.

"I was anxious that you might give the apprentices a black weapon, and I came to see how it went, but what's going on with this one?

All the knight apprentices who said they wanted black weapons make a bad face.

"There were some light abrasions and punchers, but I gave them healing, so they could move at any time. Do you want to go up?

"No, it's not that big up there either, but there's a turnisbefalen out there. The knights of several territories with permission are on their way to the exorcism, so wait here for a while."

I am relieved by the word of the chief priest. It's completely different mentally just because there are adults you can rely on.

"Dunkelferger has a lot of knights,"

"They say most knights are coming to watch the territorial rivalry, leaving only the smallest number of knights in the territory they need just to see Ditter there. Until now, I wonder how much you like Ditter, but sometimes it helps."

The Cleric Chief said the situation is comforting that so much control can be taken over the state of emergency and that the Knights can move freely can help. Aerenfest has only a critical number of knights to protect Aub and his relatives watching the sunny stage of their children. It meant that few personnel could break into the exorcism of the Warcraft.

"It's so strong. Leave it to Dunkelferger, they'll crusade you soon, won't they?

The chief priest stares at the tarnish befalen that is appearing right near the royal family with a harrowing look. Shortly after, the voice of Wilfried, who was vigilant around him, echoed from behind.

"Uncle, there's turnis befalen here too!

"Retreat! Let the horseman out!

The Cleric Chief and Brother Eckhardt immediately release their weapons, head to the opening of a little space and release the horseman.

"Block your ears because you cast a black spell"

As the students block their ears, the Cleric Chief and Brother Eckhardt grab a black weapon and head for a crusade on Turnisbefalen just around the corner.

"Never leave the shield of Szeeria in Rosemayne for those of Aerenfest!

The position where the Chief Cleric had Turnisbefalen headed for the crusade was where Inmeldink, lined up near Aerenfest, would suffer the most. I can see the students getting knocked off by Turnisbefalen trying to fly off with a horseback, screaming at Turnisbefalen, who suddenly appears, or desperately running away from me because I'm about to be eaten.

It seems obvious to everyone that it will only be huge for what it has attacked, but nevertheless, it seems to be something they try to attack in panic when they can come close. The moment the Chief Cleric waved his weapon in an attempt to attack, Turnisbefalen became enormous.

"Dear Ferdinand!

Brother Eckhardt's voice echoed in a hurry. A clergyman's cloak is caught at the tip of a much bigger Turnisbefalen nail. Unlike the usual blue cloak, I thought you said that the new cloak had no magic formations of protection and would not allow it. In an instant I caught my blood and opened my mouth and eyes wide without even being able to speak.

"No problem. We'll do it in one blow, Eckhardt. I don't think we can afford to see what's going on here."

As he did not have to worry about me or anything else, the chief clergyman quickly put himself in shape and began to ascend high with a horseman as he magically cast his magic into the black weapon. Have you noticed the sheikh's amount of magic, following the sheikh's movements with many eyes so that Turnisbefalen is vigilant?

"Calstead, come!

The clergyman commanded his father to protect the Aubs as he went up on the horseback. Your father, who was already holding a black weapon, immediately pops up with a horseback, whether he was also compatible with Turnis Befalen above.

It seems that we have already decided who will attack from what position, without any meeting, and the three move with all their magic into the black weapon.

"Stand up, everyone! We're gonna blow it!"

The clergyman declared that speed is more important than anything among the massive numbers of students who don't know what to do, not the Knights who have taken control, so defeat them with a single blow no matter how much damage is done around them. I pour as much magic into the shield of Szeria as I can so that I can withstand the magic of the priests.

"Ahhhhhhh!

A great magic force was slammed by Turnisbefalen, which took no account of the effects from the three sides on his surroundings. Turnisbefalen left behind the demonic stone and vanished without hesitation, but all around him the shock for that matter.

"Ahhh!

"Wow!

The shield of Szczeria shook with a sound of billivism, but I desperately continued to pour magic and withstood its shock. But the students around Turnisbefalen, who had only their personal shields, couldn't stand their shields alone. Many students were blown away, mainly in Inmeldink.

Students are not the only ones who have had an impact. It also affected Dunkelferger, who was fighting Turnisbefalen elsewhere to make sure it didn't affect students as much as possible. I could see several knights blown up who had not been able to stand by the sudden shock.

"Who is the fool who is unscrupulous in all this numbers!?

"It's me"

The chief cleric's cool voice returns to the roaring voice of Heishitze, who was flown with his weapon swinging.

"Fool or whatever. Put a piece on it. It's the enemy's idea to take time."

That's what the chief cleric said, but he came back inside the shield. Turn off the horseman, and the students give way for the clergyman who walks straight to me.

"Turnisbefalen hit me. Rosemaine, heal. Fruitraine first."

Ba and the chief cleric turned their backs on me. I see a new cape torn open and a red and black line in the clergyman's back. It wasn't just the red of blood, but something like black sludge, like we saw at the collection site, was stuck to the wound.

"What's the problem? Isn't it full of problems!

"Defeating me was the top priority. If you have time to complain, heal now."

I purify my wounds with the healing of Fruitraine, as I am told, to fill my wounds with magic, which are being stripped of their magic, and block them with the healing of Lungshmer.

In the meantime, the chief clergyman took his recovery pills all at once. Brother Eckhardt is taking recovery drugs in the same way.

"Can't you leave the front?

"It depends on the situation up there. I don't think I'd be content just to let a few tarnish befalens get confused by the explosion, an enemy who was waiting for a chance for royalty to gather and less combative students to gather in the arena."

The chief cleric squeals that it is safer to cage in the shield of Szeria and see how things go than to disperse poorly and move around and be attacked.

"Is your magic all right?

"It's still okay"

Is it because the chief cleric did not hesitate to blow the students away? Or was it because the clergyman provoked him to think that Dunkelferger would defeat him faster than it would affect his surroundings? Other territories began to see knights coming down to protect the students.

"If the knight could move, he must have cleaned up somewhat above"

That's how the clergyman squeals as he sees the horseman coming down to the arena. The moment I exhaled my ho and relieved breath, I noticed a horseman making a strange move to rescue students in my territory. For some reason, there are a number of horseback beasts rushing into the royal family.

"Dear Ferdinand, that horseman..."

Isn't that strange? Instead of saying, the clergyman takes an alert stance first.

"O false king with no gluthrithheit! The resentment of my countrymen, think!

Turnis befalen out of the cage held by the horseman beside them as he penetrates from the people and drops it. It was a nobleman in the loser territory who survived the solemnity of the coup d 'état. Several central knights with black weapons slap and slay it, but for that matter we found those on the horseman approaching the king.

... suicide bomber!?

Those who do not even put their lives into account and move only to attack even their targets approach the royal family. In front of that terrorist was Eglantine, who set up a shield.

"Dear Eglantine!

The clergyman seizes and holds me down instantly for trying to jump out by accident.

"Fool! Even though your protection is diminishing, you're putting up a shield to protect Aerenfest's people. Don't move!

"But..."

"You can leave it to the central knight. It's their job to protect the royalty, and your job is to be protected and, if you have the spare time, to protect Aerenfest."

In my sight, the terrorist is truncated by the central Knights Commander and falls from the horseman. Its body was strangely warped and swollen.

"Don't look. Charlotte too."

As soon as my vision was only on the clergyman's sleeve, I heard an explosion not so loud. I can somehow guess what happened with the surrounding reaction that made me vomit a lot.

"Uncle..."

Charlotte, sheltered on the other sleeve of the clergyman, as I do, looks up anxiously at the clergyman.

"Rosemaine became mentally unstable, even Hasse. Keep your sights blocked, both of you. You're gonna be sleepless."

"... Yes"

While Charlotte and I were hiding in the clergyman's sleeve, the sound alone could tell that the situation around us was changing one after the other. Looks like Dunkelferger crusaded Turnisbefalen one after the other, and the Central Knights defeated the royalty.

Not so many terrorists won the coup d 'état. The royalty, of course, vanished wearing a false king and spreading resentment against all the contented winning territories.

Once all the turnis befalens had been defeated and the terrorists cleaned up, the injured were taken out and treated in their respective dorms. There is a voice that there will be an award ceremony only for those who remain. They can't give in to terrorists.

Rosemaine, you go back to the dorm with the injured.

"Huh?"

"We built a shield of shuzeria to protect students and even applied multiple healing. I feel like I'm lacking magic, so it's dangerous to be here any longer. There could be further trouble."

... I'm not lacking anything else?

I nodded as I tilted my neck. The clergyman also says he will return to the dorm with him because the situation is too dangerous now that he has no magic equipment in his cloak without a guardian formation.

"Side service has Richarda, so Eudit is the only good escort knight to go back with. Cornelius and Leonore should be honored. Stay here."

"No, me too..."

"Cornelius, this is our last award. Let your parents see the sunshine. Elvira is here to see it."

Unexpectedly, the chief cleric's voice sounded gentle. Brother Cornelius cannot argue and turns his gaze to Brother Eckhardt. Brother Eckhardt laughed small enough to reassure Brother Cornelius.

"My mother was very excited. Cornelius and Leonore will all be honored."

Brother Cornelius drowned like he had lost his strength. But when Brother Eckhardt slapped him on the shoulder, he nodded cocklessly with a face he seemed powerless, "Master Rosemayne and I will protect him together, so don't worry.

I was the best and yet I could not attend the award ceremony.
