13. The others stories (1)
#1 Their story: A certain villains story.
-Owner, when we dun! Im tired!
Im more tired!
I diligently rotated the silver drill in my hands.
Back when I was little, a golden hammer was the symbol of the mecha genre, but as time went on, the drill became the new symbol.(1)
Although of course once I was conscripted I realised that the shovel was the strongest.
-If ya got time to say dumb things then turn th dwill more!
I listened to the metal bats very snippy voice as I continued to turn the drill.
If you were to ask where this was this was somewhere under the ground not even I knew the location of!
To avoid the princess I abandoned all the existing escape routes, and was drilling my way through an unfinished tunnel that Id previously abandoned when it collapsed.
-Uwiit! Its wock again! Lez give up and dig somewhea else! Its too hard here!
All the paths where the ground is soft is already linked to existing escape tunnels.
I dont know how many days have passed.
I dont know how far the encirclement spreads to.
So all I can do is do my best to move underground.
-Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!
Fool! Tunnels advance, beyond the tunnel it were a minute before. Little by little, it advances with each turn. Thats how a drill works!(2) This drill is the drill that will pierce the earth with my tunnel!(3) This tunnel is my escape route from the princess!(4)
-No, no, that drill is me! Owners cuwwently digging a hole wifa goddesss head!
Hold on just a little longer. The dreams of those who flee and the hopes of those who escape. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, and drill a path towards freedom. This is tunnel escape, this is Gurren I mean, Naruans escape!(5)
-Enuff wifa bullshieeeeet!
Drrrrrrrrrrrrrr!Fiind updated novels on
A line that was very familiar to me and the metal bats scream.
As earth before me began to crumble, I continued to dig.
#2 Their story: Ria el Nermias story.
The first day of school after the imperial festival.
It was my first day back since Id sent the school a message that Id be taking some time off.
What were you doing!
We could more than have been victorious!
Victorious? What nonsense is that supposed to be.
Theyre trying to pin all the blame of the failure of the comeback that only came about because of Yugrasias betrayal in the first place back onto me.
Just what reason did you have to betray us, Lady Nermia!
At the presidents words, all the surrounding eyes were focused on me, but I ignored them all.
Reason is it?
Yes!
The president answered, and if a look alone could pierce through people, the look he was giving me now would have pierced me hundreds of times over.
I was scared.
Scared? Of fighting against Yugrasia?
Yes.
I was scared.
Of the fact that I had dared to get in the way of the instructor.
And the fact that Id gotten in the way of the instructors bat no, the instructor when he was using the metal bat, the higher rank weapon of the wooden bat!
How scared was I when heard the news from No.1000.
I couldnt even sleep peacefully, as I feared that the instructor might suddenly show up with the metal bat in hand.
How how was it that you, who worked the hardest out of anyone here for Marciss victory!
Well, Id fought more for my own sake than Marciss, but apparently the president didnt see it that way.
Well, not that I needed to correct him.
Why? You fought tooth and nail all alone for so long and yet you were scared despite being on the cusp of victory!
It is the difference between knowing the truth and not.
Yugrasias students?
They were troublesome but I did not fear them.
At least they had the bare minimum of standards.
Unlike my fellow disciples who cuffed a person that came to help him to eat breakfast, or came running at me with sword ki ablaze because I stole her food, they were much, much more normal people.
But once I realised that the one controlling them from the shadows was the instructor, I started fearing that everything might have been playing into the instructors hands.
He might even be reading my mind right this instant, so I should address him as Sir Instructor.
-Wait, no, I dont think he can go that far
No. The instructor knows all. Even when I was fresh out of the organization, I didnt recognize the instructor despite the fact he was smiling right beside me.
Even though his face was still the same!
-If he disguised his face and hid would I be able to recognise him?
-Thats even I cant guarantee that, owner.
See. So awake or asleep, beware of the instructor, double check the passersby, beware the instructor.
Young Lady!
As the president admonished me noisily he started fuming again.
Mm, its probably accurate because I heard it from the student council.
Siir was currently receiving direct teachings of vice-presidency from the vice-president.
Although I had a feeling that these direct teachings had very little to do with the actual running of the academy, but as we were dealing with Risen who none of us had any idea what he did, it couldnt be helped.
I could only hope that Siir maintained her innocence and didnt end up like vice-president.
Although I had a feeling it would only end as a hope.
Aris? Aris?
Huh?
What, were you talking with your goddess again?
Mm.
For some reason Siirs wide smile seemed evil to me, but I didnt do the stupid thing of saying that out loud.
Really, Aris is on really good terms with Athena. But have you given it another thought?
Oh, that?
Siirs words reminded me of the thing she had recommended.
Presidential elections would it be possible?
The student council president elections.
Soon the new student council would form, and so would the training required for those positions.
And Siir asked me to join the student council with her to make a better academy life.
Although of course Siir hadnt been selected for the student council either but if it were the power of the vice-presidents hidden customers I mean some shady powers that be, would her election be all but certain?
Mm. Come on, Aris. Hm? We cant create another incident like the silver devil! Ive already made the campaign materials!
Thats true, but
At Siirs continual requests as she sidled beside me, cake and teacup and all, in the end I allowed myself to be nominated for student council president.
And.
I got elected?
Im telling you theres no one else other than you to become president, Aris?
I stared blankly at Siir beside me, who had also been elected as female vice-president.
No matter how well-known I was, I would have thought that having two first years in important positions of the student council where there were already more than enough third years that could take the position was a bit
Its alright, Aris. It might not have been okay at the old Yugrasia, but in todays Yugrasia, skill means everything!
S, Siir? I definitely thought that to myself just now? I definitely never said it out loud so how did you know!
Its the skill of the student council vice-president.
Just what kind of job is the student council vice-president!
And moreover she wasnt even the successor of the proper leader Karen, but the traitor Risen!
Fufu, even though he acts like that, senior Risen has a lot of good points to him, too?
Like that!
Siir who had gained an astounding power to read minds was scary.
Although many people had changed since I arrived at this academy, the only person that had not been changed by Professor Nicerwin, but a different person, was Siir.
Fufufu, Im the same Siir that Aris always knew?
Thats scary so please stop!
And so after I felt the greatest fear this year since the silver devil.
The second semester where the night study was gone, Professor Nicerwin was gone, and the silver devil was gone came and went, and on the day of the fourth years graduation.
Huh? Whats this?
In a corner of the student council meeting room, which was now my office after the pres I mean, the (former) president handed over all executive power to me, I discovered a suspicious-looking safe.
I dont have much time
The graduation ceremony would be starting soon.
The only reason I was still here at all was to fix up my speech to the student body as much as I could in the little time I had.
But what is this feeling of unease?
Like an apostle receiving a gods orders, some great will was telling me that I must open that vault.
If I didnt open that, I would regret it. Right now!
Goddess.
-Mm.
I requested the goddess and brought out a spear.
And sword aura formed on it naturally.
Even if it were a steel safe, it would not be able to hold up to sword aura.
Is this a document?
In the cleanly cut safe, there was a single piece of paper.
Huh?
A paper on which was written the (former) presidents act of unspeakable atrocity.
As always, feel free to leave any suggestions and corrections in the comments.
