6. Hell is just beginning. (5).
#7 Their story: Aris ril Letias story.
In my sixteen years of life so far, I can proudly say that I have lived proudly as the eldest daughter of House Letia.
Although I was born in one of the empires Ten Great Families, one of the most influential in the empire, unlike the other nobles I did not use my title as a daughter of a marquess.
Until now
Mother, its so hard.
-A, Aris?
My mother looked shocked.
It seemed that my mother was shocked to see my tears that I had never cried even during the houses brutal training regime.
I was kind of surprised to see my normally elegant looking mother look so taken aback, but I couldnt give up now.
If only to avoid that devil!
As the Letia familys oldest daughter, its kind of pathetic for me to cry because school is hard, but its still so hard.
Showing a weak appearance unlike my normal self.
It seemed that my mother was very shocked to see my weak, timid and fearful appearance.
But I couldnt give up now.
Sniff mother
-Aris, did something happen at the academy?
As I pretended to wipe my eyes, I looked slightly further beyond to the magic video communication device.
1. Cry.
2. Dont say anything first.
3. If she tries talking to me first then pretend to start talking before crying sorrowfully.
4. Sniffle and keep repeating that school is too hard.
5. End the night study.
Looking at number five on the list, I harden my resolve.
I saw my roommate wave her hand in encouragement as she held up the paper with the five points written on it.
The last resort planned out by the student council, and executed by me.
That was to borrow the help of my parents, use the power of my family to end this disgusting night study once and for all!
We had endured until now but after we got beaten up by the silver creature we could endure no longer.
Because that was impossible for humans to stand against!
No, there was sob nothing that happened at the academy I just wasnt good enough to follow the curriculum. Sniffle Im sorry.
-Yes, Aris! Cry like that! More! Harder! Wring out your tears! If it will help get rid of that disgusting thing called night study, Ill do everything in my power as a god to help you!
Thanks to the goddesss strong will, even more sorrowful tears came flowing out.
And the day after my performance with all my heart and soul poured into it.
It was that time came once again.
7 PM.
The time that to us, the hell named self-directed night study began.
Move out like we always do! Sort out
Aaaaaarghh!
The same time as normal.
But different screams from normal.
Wha, what?
P, Professor?
There was only a single reason for that.
Ahh, sorry about that. Professor Nicerwin gave me different instructions compared to normal.
So dont hate us too much.
Unlike normal, the two teachers had taken up positions at the front and rear doors of the classroom!
-It, it cant be!
-What is it, Lady Athena?
-Those teachers have finally begun to use the terrain.
-Terrain ah!
-Yes, there was only one reason why you could defeat the teachers that were far more skilled than you! Because each teacher had to fight against more than ten students on their own.
-But right now
-Yes, all they have to do is defend against the small number of people that can fit through that door
We had fought against the teachers in corridors much wider than other schools as if it was perfectly natural, and we had gotten far too used to that.
And because of that we let our guards down, and had the classroom doors taken from us. And since these were supposedly the orders of Professor Nicerwin, odds were that our classroom wasnt the only one in this situation.
-For now, we need to get through one side to allow people to attack the other door from the rear.
-Can it be done?
-Its possible as long as its not the soldiers on the second floor or the silver devil. Getting through the first line is the hard part, as long as a single classroom can break through, the situation will be the same as normal!
Borrowing the strength of the goddess I summoned a spear. I didnt need a shield.
What we needed right now was a swift breakthrough!
A few of you exit through the windows!
We need to divide the teachers attention. Although the windows leading outside are blocked by black metal bars that cant be destroyed by any summon, but the windows between the classroom and the corridor are normal.
Even if they are narrow, theyre big enough that students can fit through them.
Alright, Ill do it!
Kurgh, that little?!
Jumping through windows is a breach of school regulations!
-Whats the problem. Its fine as long as you get away. If Plan B is having the teachers mobilise then that means the silver devil could appear somewhere as well.
-Youre right!
That was it. The living must live. Thankfully my classroom was on the third floor. It was the easiest to escape from among the floors with classrooms.
Clang!
Spear met spear and made a dull noise, different from swords.
Not just the tip, but you could even imbue mana into your spears shaft. Really, you would think, no less of the princess of the Letia House?
If Professor is here, then that means the other teachers on the second floor have also moved elsewhere? Then since you cant use the normal defensive formation, doesnt that present another opportunity for us?
Spear and spear clashed again.
I tried to aim for the professor still guarding the other door behind me, but Professor Aruhan didnt give me the opportunity.
Thats true. There is no one on the second floor. Nor is there anyone on the ground floor. Because all the teachers have gone to the eighth floor.
What?!
If it was the eighth floor, that was where most of the student council members, the strongest students in the school were.
No wait, even before that!
If the first floor is empty as well, then even Professors Muam and Harian?!
Indeed. So, if you cannot defeat me then there will be no hope for you, Miss Aris!
Our spears clashed again. But unlike last time, I poured all my mana into it but the results didnt change.
-This man was he always this strong?
-Im sorry, goddess, I cant do anything about it!
-Its fine, lets just ditch everyone else, and run, just the two of us!
-O Goddess, grant me, your contractor a powerful mind and body.
As I swung my spear I chanted in my head.
Descension, accepting the soul of a god into your body, the strongest technique a gods contractor could wield!
Although it didnt work against the devil, if it was against a human, there was no way it wouldnt have an effect!
My, my, is it the goddess?
Indeed, you seem to be quite powerful, would you mind entertaining me?
If I may do you a service, it would be my honour.
Although I didnt know it at first, when a god descends into your body apparently a part of your body changes.
In my case, my characteristic red eyes turn blue. Professor Aruhan who noticed this sighed wearily before his took a stance.
-Do your best, Miss Goddess!
-Trust me!
-Despite the fact that my physical capabilities remained the same the goddess held her spear with just a single hand.
Even though she had been showing some unsightly forms recently against the silver devil, our goddess was the goddess of war!
Come human!
To the goddesss booming shout, Professor Aruhan replied.
Understood.
What?!
But it was not Professor Aruhans voice that replied, but a different professors.
A pity, Lady Goddess, but it seems that you were so beautiful that you seem to have attracted some flies.
Da, damn it
When the professor turned his head to the source of the voice, in my vision that was being shared with the goddess, I saw countless professors starting to stream down to the third floor.
God damn it
And ten minutes later.
Despite the goddesss descension into my body, in the complete opposite manner to my fights with the teachers until now, I became a wreck due to fights with multiple teachers at once.
-Aris lets just quietly do the night study in the classroom
-Kurrrghhh
Just as I was sitting back against the wall with no strength to move, and seriously considering doing the night study.
Do you educate your students like this every day?
Indeed, we do.
Fa, father?
I dont know when hed arrived, but the person that was approaching very naturally with Professor Nicerwin was my father and the current head of the Letia family.
Youve worked hard.
Fa, father
As my father that had been cold to me all this time stroked my head and praised me, I unconsciously began to start tearing up.
Maybe, if hed seen just how much his daughter had struggled! Father might!
And do your best from now on, too.
Eh?
I felt like my tears that had been about to fall had crawled right back around into my eyes.
Father? What did you say just now?
I have felt many things as I observed Yugrasias teaching methods.
It is an honour, my lord.
Father? Why are you looking at that devil of an instructor with such serious eyes?
There is glory at the end of the grueling path of pain. I, who call myself a commander of the empires army forgot words of the empires hero of the Great War. As the family head and the commander of the army I have spent far too long immersed in peace.
Father? Excuse me, father? Your daughter is sprawled out in a wreck beside you, are you seriously saying that?
So work even harder from now on.
Fatheerrrrrrr?!
Yugrasia, will more than live up to milords expectations.
And from this day onwards, the number of students that tried to escape the night study dwindled, and the period that future students would call the age of despair began.
