Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

The next morning. Today, the academy was still in normal operation. The outer wall, which was supposed to have been destroyed by the attack at night, had already been restored, and the traces of the attack had disappeared cleanly.

If there's only one trace left, it's only in the memories of college officials. If someone's Phantom Magic ran rampant or was described as a kind of group hysteria, it was so vague that no one could deny it.

However.

"I see... they are the assailants..."

Physical evidence in front of Josephine and the others —— well, except for the raiders' men.

In front of her, there were 30 men arranged like fish in the market. Pitiful assailants, groped by monkeys and wrapped in ropes.

After they were swallowed by Potentia's micro-machines, their arms and legs were tied up and rolled into the woods, but Potentia couldn't just leave them to die... I had no choice but to bring them to Josephine and the others.

Yes, the exterior walls have been repaired, so there are no more traces left.

Potentia, dressed as a boy student, stood among the rolling men, and opened his arms to the left and right, explaining the situation in a circular motion.

They are soldiers of the Emrinza Empire, which borders the southern part of the country. The planner was the first princess of the Emrinza Empire. The objective of the operation was to raid the Academy last night, killing Grand Duke Josephine and Magnea, the Dean of the Academy. In the meantime, the resistance forces, whether teachers or students, were ordered to kill all of them. "

"... why do you know the details of the operation?"

Of course, I heard it directly. The assailant's brain was stuck in his head. ”

When Potentia smiled at Nikkori and the commander's man, the man, who couldn't move at all, shuddered and incontinent. It sounded like you had a pretty horrible feeling.

The Knights of Josephine couldn't hide their bewilderment, looking at each other and at the Commander's men as if they saw something pathetic. No one could imagine what had happened to him, but it was clear that something terrible had happened just by looking at his reaction.

Potentier continues to exaggerate in the presence of such knights and prisoners.

"Oh? This looks like you're scared a lot." It's pathetic, so why don't you play with your head and erase my memories? You may lose even a little irrelevant memories, but at least you won't feel any fear. That's right, never again.

"Whoa?!"

Potentia-sama

Josephine calls out when Potentia's hand tries to hit the man's head.

"For once, they will be prisoners of war, so I think it is better to avoid harsh interrogations and torture. It could be one of the hands in the negotiations with the Emrinza Empire.”

For example, it could be used for exchanging prisoners or exchanging something with prisoners... Josephine asked with that in mind, but Potentia fundamentally denied her idea.

Oh, that's impossible.

"... why? Why would the Emrinza Empire abandon them?"

'No, it's not. If the Emrinza Empire is in good health, it will be a bargaining card. However, as it stands, his country is not going to exchange all the prisoners here, but it is not even going to be able to grasp it. ”

"I can't even grasp it...? Why--"

Because his country is synonymous with no longer in the world.

The moment Potentia spoke, the air hardened, and Josephine herself, her knights, and her assailants could not swallow Potentia's words.

With that in mind, Potentia made a statement close to the core. It might be called a toad.

We pushed the Emrinza Empire to the brink of destruction last night.

As a result of the words he uttered, the air in the field passed through the rigidity, began to collapse, and was surrounded by a noisy atmosphere.

"... I see."

--Josephine was the only one who could accept Potentia's remarks straightaway... She just quietly struck a tie.
