“Things Every Boy Dreams of in the Universe”



The next day after my recovery, the morning classes ended earlier than usual.


“Currently, prospective members as well as the Chair of the Student Council, will provide submissions, so hope you all, stay on your seat.”


So said the teacher to his students who tried to get out.


“Not that I care, but do you know where the third year students go?”


“Entah.”


I gave her a half-hearted answer accompanied by yawning in response to Hyoro's random question.


“Oh, third year student? This week they are on an extracurricular trip .. ”


Said Jaga after turning from his seat in front of us.


At that moment, the classroom door opened, and two female students entered. Instead, the teacher came out.


I recognize one of them. She is Student Council Leader Rose Oriana, whom I fought a few days ago.


Why was it that even though it was an ordinary uniform, when the graceful person wearing it, it somehow gave off a mysterious graceful aura?


“Umm, we are very grateful to the teacher who has set aside his precious time for us today. About the Student Council selection.. ”.


First-year students, who were obviously still unfamiliar with this, began to speak in a stiff voice.


Am I the only one who thinks a speech like this will only go in one ear and out the other?


I saw Hyoro also listening to the speech with a blank face and yawned.


Keep a record of a few things.


Suddenly, I felt like the eyes of the Student Council Chairman and my eyes met. If he really remembered the mob that had suffered a crushing defeat before him in the first round, then he must have really been something.


“Oi, Student Council Chairman just saw me.”


Hyoro said while arranging her bangs.


“Yup.”


“Oi oi, I might be scouted by the Student Council.”


“Yup.”


“Oi oi oi, I really don't want to get involved with troublesome things.”


“Yup.”


And that's how time goes.


But suddenly, I felt a disturbance to my magic.


“Eh?”


“What happened?”


I continued to manipulate and control the magic within me as a practice, but at this moment, I was suddenly unable to sense that magic anymore.


It felt like something was blocking the flow of magic. I can forcefully activate it, or I think I can also avoid it by making my magic very thin.


When it crossed my mind, I felt a presence approaching the classroom.


“They came..”.


I just feel like saying that.


But at that moment.


Suddenly, a huge explosion resounded.


The door to the classroom shattered, and the entire class became dumbfounded.


Immediately after, people dressed in black holding swords marched into the classroom.


“Nothing moves! We are the Shadow Garden, and we have mastered this academy! ”


He shouted, while standing in front of the exit.


“Cannot..”.


My murmur was drowning in the commotion around.


No student can move.


Is this an exercise, a joke, or a real?


Almost all the students had a hard time understanding the fact that the Magic Swordsman Academy was attacked.


I am the only one who fully understands the situation.


That these people are real, that all the magic around them has been blocked, and that the same thing is currently happening in all the other classes.


“Ke~ ren ..”


Words of appreciation automatically came out of my lips.


These guys, they really do.


They really did.


“Sometu” that every child in the world dreams of.


“Sometu” is coloring pages of our teen fantasies.


‘Sometu’ the ..make the school attacked by *******!


I shiver with emotion.


How many times have I imagined this situation.


A few hundred, a few thousand .. several hundred million times.


I had explored all the innumerable patterns so that such a situation could change, and finally, it actually happened in front of me!


“Stay in your seats, and raise your hands!”


Seeing the students gradually returning to their senses, the black-clothed people threatened the students with their swords.


I think I'd rather be on the side of******, but they've chosen it.


Don't worry, being on the student's side is more common.


So what am I supposed to do?


How am I supposed to move?


Infinite possibilities spread before me.


“It looks like you all failed to understand what kind of place this is.”


At that moment, a fearless voice sounded.


A single girl placed her hand on the sword on her waist and faced those black-clothed men.


“You want to master the Magic Swordsman Academy? It seems you are not sane. ”


Only one person, Rose Oriana, stood face to face with the men.


“We told you to throw away your weapon, little girl.”


“I refuse.”


Said, Rose while pulling her sword.


“Hmph, you are suitable as an example lesson.”


One of the men dressed in black raised his sword in a fighting position.


Its bad.


He still did not realize that he was no longer able to use magic here.


“…! What happened?”


Confusion on Rose's Face.


“So you finally realized it?”


The black-clothed man laughed behind his mask.


Bad, this is bad. It can't continue like this.


“But it's too late.”


He swung his sword towards Rose.


There was no way a girl whose magic had been sealed could ward off a sword imbued with magic.


I jumped out of my seat and ran forward.


“…!”


My brain's processing speed accelerated, and the world seemed to slow down.


Right now, my heart is filled with baseless impatience and anger.


“... aaaAAAAHHHH !!”


At this rate, he will be the first to be killed by *****, Victim #1.


That can't happen.


That definitely should not be allowed to happen.


“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”


The first person in the class killed by****** always …


MOB CHARACTER!


“HHHEEEEEEEEEEENNTTTTTIIIIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN !!!!!!!”


Along with the roar from my soul, I managed to sneak between the two of them.

Looking at the approaching sword eyes, Rose predicted her own death.


With a weak body that could not manipulate magic, he could not stop or dodge the attack.


In order to make the slightest wound possible, he tried to twist his upper body, but even that felt extremely sluggish.


He won't make it in time.


Death is coming, is the reality.


But at that moment, a cry pierced his eardrum.


“HHHEEEEEEEEEEENNTTTTTIIIIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN !!!!!!!”


Immediately after, something hit him from the side and made Rose bounce.


“Kya ..!“


By reflex, he landed with a ukemi.


And when he looked up, a shocking sight greeted his eyes.


“How can..”.


There was a boy covered in blood lying limp on the floor.


The blood flowing on the floor made a puddle that grew bigger as time went on.


It was apparently a fatal attack.


“KYYYAAAAHHHH!!“


The screams of someone echoed around the classroom.


Rose rushed into the boy's body, not caring the slightest bit about the blood staining his clothes.


This boy was someone who had left a very deep impression on him recently.


“Sid Kagenou-kun.


In response to Rose's murmur, the boy faintly opened his eyes.


“Stupid, why are you protecting me ..?”


Rose had just met him. He had not even had a chance to talk to her.


There should be no reason for him to save himself, even at the expense of his own life.


The boy opened his mouth, seemingly trying to say something.


“Geho, goho!“


But it only managed to expel a large amount of blood.


“Sid-kun!”


The boy's cough splashed blood on Rose's white cheeks.


The boy smiled with his face soaked in blood.


His dying face was filled with success.


“Why..”.


Tears flowed down Rose's cheeks.


Rose gripped the boy's body and held back the sobs that shook his body.


Looking at the face of the dying boy, Rose finally understood the answer to all the mysteries.


The Senbatsu Tournament.


The burning look he saw.


And how he protected her, even with his own life.


Everything is connected now.


Rose was not too slow to know. With her status as a princess and her appearance, ever since the time she was a child, countless number of people had told her love.


But no one had previously shown such great love.


She was never loved with such deep love that she was even willing to give up her life for him.


“Thank you..”.


Rose would never have the chance to answer her feelings.


But he swore that he would never let it go to waste.


“Hah, that's a good lesson.”


The man in black stopped before Rose.


“…!”


Rose bit her lips and stared angrily at the man.


“You still want to refuse?”


“Kuh ... I'll do what you say.”


Rose nodded her head. He had already vowed not to let the boy's feelings go to waste.


Now is not the right time.


“Hmph-deep. All right, everyone get to the auditorium!”


The men in black clothes all started to move.


They make students stand up, tie everyone's hands behind their backs, and direct them to leave the class in one group.


No one else tried to fight.


At the end of the line, two students turned around for a bit.


“Sid ..”


“Sid-kun ..”


They looked at the corpses on the floor, looking like they had something they wanted to say.


“Street!”


The people dressed in black encouraged them to continue walking.


Then the classroom became empty.


The sound of footsteps descended the hallway, until silence came within the room.


Later then.


The dead boy's arm moved.
