The Sended's

Chapter 86: Someone From History

.

"Miss Ryuu of Ruby? Hm... I didn't think there were migrants from the land across the Ming, but it was even better, we welcome you well here. Then can you explain your answer just now, Miss Ryuu?"

What is there to explain? But yeah... Just open my mouth, see what comes out...

"Elemental magic has existed since civilization emerged above Celfia, although it is not known who the discoverer but certainly now almost all races can use the magic even though only a small part of each race. And since the great war began in the early days of civilization between Devils and other races, I'm sure the initial function of elemental magic was to kill and the reason for killing was none other than war" I replied

Professor Zhang was amazed to hear my answer, but it was the case with other children who seemed upset, as well as with Li who was surprised

"Magic is not meant to kill! Maybe it's where you were born! But here we use it for everyday purposes!" Said a disciple loudly while standing pointing at me

"Master, please-"

"Maybe it's true, but see how magic develops in the Western Continent? War only accelerates the pace of its development, not slows it down" I replied to the accusation

Well... Although Ruby herself does not have an army of witches anyway...

"Which Miss Ryuu said is true, we cannot forget that the reason for the creation of elemental magic is because of the great war between Devils and other races. It was at war that superior magical beings such as Elves, Seraphim, and Demons knew how to borrow the elemental spirit power that had existed since the creation of Kelfia.

But miss, what this young master said is also true. Our past is the fire of war, but by magic we rebuild Kelfia into a better world by forgetting that dark history" said professor Zhang

Many disciples who agreed with him nodded at each other when they looked at each other

"Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it." I said softly.

My goal here is not to argue, I should ask other things in the field to get some new knowledge

"You're right professor, I-I"

I didn't finish saying, I don't know why the ground beneath us was shaking so strongly that everyone realized it well. Maybe it was just a bad earthquake but my instincts said something else

This building itself besides being large and magnificent also seems to be very sturdy, although the items on the table are falling but I do not see anything worse than that.

The tremors did not last for a minute, but the professor told us to stay under the counter, in case of aftershocks. While he went out to check the situation and find out the cause

"Are you okay, Miss?" Ask Li

"Yes.." I replied.

But out there there sounds a commotion and I'm certainly curious

I used a heat-detecting magic and it was true that there were people fighting outside, many were fighting

Professor Zhang suddenly went back into the classroom and intended to disperse us and escort us out of the academy, but one of the fighting creatures reached this class first.

Whoa-wah.... Isn't he a Devil...?

Despite having the same appearance as a human, I could tell from the aura he was emitting, similar to Gressila in the forest near Chang'an before it was just more concentrated belonging to Gressila

"Ryuu, did you hear my voice?" Eh?

"Kyouka?" He called me

"The Ming army has already started its movement, I think you should go back and lead our troops to face them," Damn, at a time like this?

"It's a bad time Kyouka" I replied

"Huh? Whatchu mean?"

"I'm in Qing and I'm on business right now" I continued

"Qing's? How did you get there - No.... Why can't you go back? What's more important than Ruby's victory?!" He's pissed

Well it's only natural that he's upset... The military is my responsibility

But there is a demon!

"I found the Devil here,"

"Devil?" Kyouka doesn't know the story yet

"More or less tell Yuuna, with that you will know how bad they are. Then regarding the troops, Yuuna is a better fighter than Percival, Maou is also able to make a pretty good tactic,"

"Hey! Have you forgotten about those factions? The military will not want to be led by the leadership of the industrialist faction let alone the educated, "he is right

"It's okay as long as you are present with them, the military also upholds a sense of loyalty to you, with your orders, they will definitely want to. I'm sorry, I really can't go home right now,"

The demon began to attack Professor Zhang for reasons I did not know, using a sharp sword whose shape was not much different from a widely known sword, only the black aura that enveloped him was unusual

Turning forward without a second thought, much different from Gressila who never once stepped, the Devil raised his sword high to slash at the professor.

But according to his reputation, professor Zhang held him off well using the electrical element magic that formed the barrier like mine before

Not until there, the professor also used the same electricity to attack the Devil and dropped him on the ground after being shocked with a power equivalent to that lightning strike, I'm sure he will not rise again...

"All right, let's get out now!" Said the professor

All the students obey his orders, all the students except me anyway.... I am not his student either

"Check all this," I replied

We parted ways, Li went with the professor and the other students to safety while I headed to the battle center that was nearby.

Running through the same hallway I headed to the source of the noise, I found some people lying on the ground, some wearing armor similar to the previous gatekeeper's, some wearing clothes like professor Zhang

However there were also some with black auras still clinging to their bodies, Devils...

All unconscious but not all lifeless, I will continue my journey regardless of them.

The moment I arrived at the source of the earthquake earlier, was a large hole that appeared in the middle of the building that was now destroyed, from inside there came out Devils with the same form as humans but a different aura

Uhh... But instead of Gressila, they look like zombies

A small battle took place in this area, the professor and the guard soldiers became the vanguard against the Devils huh?

I thought they were the strongest race before, why could they be rivaled to us humans? I think there's something weird here

"Professor! What exactly are we dealing with?" Ask another professor

"Bad thing" replied the senior professor

They're good magic users, but I doubt they're better than Kyouka. Besides that, not all of them have the same ability, the Qing soldiers were several killed by the Devil attack, although not as brutal as Gressila's attack...

Those Devils use swords like the Qing soldiers, they don't even use magic!

"Space your enemies!"

Oh? I think the professor will try something

As soon as all the warriors and professor Qing moved away from the Devils they were facing, he raised the Devils using a stream of water that moved through the air like the wind and threw them all into the hole where they came out

"Master Jia! Close that hole!"

"Okay, Master Chen!"

The other professors used alchemy magic to seal the hole with iron so that the Devils could not get back out.

They seemed relieved by this result, some to the point of falling sitting on the ground with a sigh, but this was far from the final word

Well because... There was another earthquake, this time it felt like it was twice as shaking as before

"Master Chen?"

"Other bad things.... You people! Warrior Qing! Can you call for reinforcements? We are short of numbers here" Professor Chen told one of the Qing soldiers

"Sorry sir, it looks like this disaster is happening all over the city" the soldier replied

Citywide... Actually how did those Devils get here just by passing through a hole from underground? Why do they act like they are being controlled?

"Dam... Then let's get to the other hole!"

Oh? They're goin...

Good, because then I can get into the sealed hole.

If you look around again, this hole is quite big as well! It is only fitting that many Devils come out at once like before. Uhh... What if I open this iron later there will be dozens of Devils who directly attack me? Just in case let's find out what's waiting behind this iron seal with heat-detecting magic

"Eh?"

There are dozens of demons behind, but they are all lying on the ground for some reason

"Hmmm...."

There's only one way to know that

Iron has a much lower melting point than the tungsten armor Percival used to have, I guess a fire as hot as Fengxian's could melt this seal so... I'll melt a small portion for my way in

"Excuse me" I said before entering the darkness

One of the devils rose from the ground, but I found that only he himself rose up while the rest did not. I reckon... I guess it's because of the sunlight? Because he's the one lying closest to the hole I made, he's the only one exposed to the sun

But before he could stand up straight, I immediately strangled him with wind magic and banged him against the wall of this hole, then I closed the door I made earlier with earth magic

As soon as I did that, he fell asleep again but woke up with a different situation

"Eh?! W-Who are you? Wait for.... What have I done before?!"

He regained his consciousness?

I let him down and let him digest his current situation, here I use night vision magic so that I can see everything clearly

Well... This magic is indeed if used short term it will not feel wasteful, but I am not sure it will deactivate it in the short term... The only visible light is from behind this iron seal

Let's think about that later because where mine is also still a lot, it's time to dig up information from a person from the race that used to rule Kelfia.
