Chapter 8: Someone Had to Help
"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
The demoness, whose face was covered with a large number of amulets, cried out in a shrill voice that made the students cower.
A thin arm wearing a tattered kimono stretched out and swung about wildly. With that alone, a corner of the school building was blown off of the ground.
I was speechlessly stunned by that outrageous scene but then suddenly spotted something and widened my eyes, "What the hell!?"
A schoolgirl was clinging to the hair of the rampaging demoness as if she were in a monster movie. freewebno vel.co m
"No! Stoooop! Listen to meeee!"
Although it didn’t look she was going to be shaken off any time soon due to the demoness’ hair that was tangled around her body, this was still an extremely perilous situation.
"Hey! Snap out of it! Hurry up and run away!"
The guy who came running up this way took my hand but before he could take off with me, I pointed and asked, "What about that girl!?"
"That’s Misaki Soya from class B! She wanted to show that she was worthy of being in class S and A’s mixed team so we gave her an opportunity to do so, and eventually we ended up with this situation! Or rather, now’s not the time for this–"
Boom!
The guy from class S couldn’t finish his sentence.
Boom! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The demoness stepped hard on the ground and began to run faster.
"Waaaaaaah! No, no, no! Stop, don’t go faster!"
The screams of the schoolgirl attached to the head of the demoness–Misaki Soya–grew louder.
"How the hell is it so fast!? It can’t be, is it fourth-ranked!?"
The face of the guy from S class spasmed and I also couldn’t help but feel startled.
Most fourth-ranked spirits had the power to casually level a house!
"It’s going to catch up…!"
The guy from class S stopped running and took out a few talismans. The other students who fled here this way–the ones from class A or S–also followed suit, taking out talismans and throwing them at the school building and the ground with nimble hands.
The moment the rapidly approaching demoness arrived at their location,
The scattered talismans glowed in response to the talismans that had been left behind on the demoness’ body by the students earlier.
A huge barrier trapped the demoness and restrained its movement.
Multilayered hexagram barrier.
A practical restraint technique that due to its relative simplicity could be activated immediately.
"Oooh!"
I can’t help but be amazed.
As expected of high-ranking students. The accuracy and power of their techniques, as well as their coordination on the spur of the moment, were on a different level from the students of class D.
Even though it had taken several people to activate, it was holding off a fourth-ranked spirit. These students were going to have promising futures.
Just when I was feeling relieved to see that the high-ranking students had succeeded.
"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
The demoness’ threw back her head that was covered in talismans.
"Nooooooo!"
Mindless of Misaki Soya who was screaming atop her head, the demoness ferociously head-butted the barrier.
In an instant, cracks appeared in the hexagram’s barrier.
"!"
With just two, three more headbutts, the barrier shattered. What power. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
"Damn it, this is the best we can do with techniques that are quick to activate! Attacking it when there’s a person attached would be too risky–everyone, scatter and go find a teacher!"
Following the instructions of the guy from class S, everyone, including us of class D, spread out in different directions.
I shouted as I noticed that Karasuma had run in the same direction as me.
"Hey Karasuma! You just said something about true power! Why don’t you use it now!"
Buy us more time to escape! I tried to encourage her, but,
"Hmph, if that demon woman turned into a pretty girl, my heart’s cock would unleash its true power and settle everything!"
"Leave your sleep talking for when you’re asleep!"
At the end of our meaningless exchange, Karasuma and I turned and separated in different directions.
I suddenly realized that I could no longer hear the demoness’ footsteps and turned around.
"…"
The demoness, apparently confused by the scattering of her prey, was shaking her head left and right as she scurried about.
She was apparently not very intelligent.
Just when I was relieved that we were all going to get away safely.
"Gyaaaaaa! I’m falling! I’m falliiing!"
The screams of the schoolgirl, Misaki Soya, who had been attached to the head of the demoness, became desperate.
Soya looked like she was only barely clinging to the head of the demoness with her slender hands.
The demoness’ head-butt to the barrier must have unraveled the hair tangled around Soya’s body. There was now a high chance of her being shaken off as the demon woman confusedly searched around for her prey.
"Hey, someone!"
I looked around but everyone had already left the scene. No one was aware of Misaki Soya’s situation.
Other than me.
"Aah, damn it, today’s not my lucky day!"
I rushed out by reflex.
I know this is a foolish gamble but I can’t just ignore this…!
Unlike what had happened with the perverted sister, this situation was really serious. Teachers were probably going to arrive soon.
However, before they could arrive, that kid was going to fall.
Someone had to help.
I headed back towards the demoness who had forgotten about the area around her feet due to being distracted by the prey that had scattered far away.
