A few minutes before lunchtime, the snack booth area in the schoolyard was filled with visitors who wanted to buy food. Two people in the crowd wore black robes and covered their faces with spooky masks.
The two didn't look suspicious as they weren't the only ones wearing weird costumes at the cultural festival. One was wearing a purple colored mask, and the other was blood-red. They are members of the terrorist organization that has recently been wreaking havoc in Japan, The Ghost Nebula.
The person wearing the purple mask has the position of Colonel in the organization, and his code name is Sigma, while the one wearing the blood-red mask is a Major with the code name Omicron. The two came to Suisei High School to carry out a mission from the Ghost Nebula.
Sigma and Omicron suddenly separated from the crowd and walked to a quiet area of the school grounds. They checked the surroundings to ensure no one other than them was there.
After that, Sigma took out two large parchment scrolls from his bracelet. One is black, and the other is white. He took both items from his space pocket.
| сom "Have you confirmed that there isn't anyone stronger than Benjiro in this school?" Sigma looked at Omicron and asked.
"I'm sure. I had been investigating this school for the whole day yesterday. The strongest person in this place is the principal of this school, Benjiro Araki. He is a Realizer in the Star Cluster phase. Even if he was strong, he couldn't handle all the monsters alone.
Apart from Benjiro, the other strong people in this school are the teacher, Kirika Miyazaki, and the daughters of the Fuyushima Temple and the Natsukawa Family. Hijiri was absent yesterday, but today I saw her at the casino. They are not a problem for us. Our mission this time is sure to succeed.
"That's good! We must not fail this time. We must create as much chaos and destruction as possible in this school. We should kill Benjiro, Setsuka, Hijiri, and Kirika. That will be the best result!" Sigma nodded in satisfaction after hearing Omicron's words.
"Then, we will start our plan now!" Sigma added and handed Omicron a scroll of white parchment.
"I understand! I've been waiting for this! I want to wreak havoc on this school quickly!" Omicron grinned viciously. He received the parchment scroll, and the two opened it on the ground simultaneously.
Both of them placed their palms in the center of the parchment. Omicron poured his genesis power into the white parchment, and a circle of light with a strange pattern appeared, looking like a magic circle. Afterward, the magic circle rotated, and a light shot into the sky from its center.
"Locked!"
The light turned into a dome-shaped barrier and enveloped Suisei High School. It was similar to an array but with a different concept and power source.
"Now it's my turn!" Sigma injected his genesis power into the black parchment. Then a circle of light with a strange pattern different from the white one appeared and reflected in the sky.
"Summons!"
Sigma said, and his voice echoed above Suisei High School. Then the magic circle in the sky rotated and turned into a portal.
The visitors and students were confused when they saw the sight, but what they heard next from inside the portal terrified them.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
After that, Seven giant objects fell, hitting the ground hard and shaking the Suisei High School area.
Boooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
"What's that!?"
"What is going on!?"
"What sound is that!?"
"Is that a monster!?"
The visitors and students were shocked when they heard that. They gathered at that place and wanted to know what had fallen from the sky. Not long after, the smoke and dust that covered the area disappeared and revealed seven gigantic objects. More precisely is the monster that comes out of the portal.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
What fell from the portal was a gigantic ten-meter-tall monster with a human's body and a bull's head.
"That is..." a student said in a trembling voice.
"Minotaurs!" A visitor completes his words.
The people around the place scattered and screamed frantically.
The Minotaur was a Sixth-level monster that possessed monstrous brute strength. The monster usually uses an ax as its weapon.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
One of the minotaurs grinned and swung his ax at the crowd, trying to run away.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Argh!"
"Help me!"
After that, more monsters fell from the portal. They are goblins, orcs, harpies, wyverns, and cactus golems.
Goblins are first-level monsters; Orcs are second-level monsters; Harpies are third-level monsters with human-like shapes and bird-like wings on their hands; Wyverns are fourth-level monsters, and Cactus Golems are fifth-level monsters.
They appear in hordes and number over a thousand. The monsters weren't in a controlled state like what Tenku had seen near his apartment. In other words, they have to act on their will and instinct.
"Then, rampage as much as you like and destroy this school!" Sigma shouted at the monsters.
"Hahahaha!" Omicron laughed crazily, and they disappeared from the scene. Afterward, the monsters started attacking the people around them and destroying the environment.
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
***
When the minotaurs appeared, Setsuka and the others in the building felt the tremor. Some of them panicked, and others examined the situation calmly. Of course, Kaede and Setsuka were among the latter.
The defense system of Suisei High School was automatically activated because of the shock. A barrier membrane appeared and covered the entire school building. The students could go in and out at will, but the visitors could not.
Setsuka and Kaede checked the situation from the window and saw many monsters roaming the school grounds. Their faces darkened when they saw the seven minotaurs and several high-level monsters approaching the school building.
"How did those monsters appear at school? Has there been a space collapse around here? No. Impossible. The Dimension Stabilizer should protect the residential area of Tokyo. So space collapse can't appear in this place. In that case, someone must have purposely brought those monsters to this school!" Kaede tried to analyze their situation and quickly came to a tentative conclusion.
"That person should be a member of the terrorist organization, The Ghost Nebula." Setsuka said seriously. he used his dimension watch and tried to contact Holy Union. But he frowned because he couldn't connect to his organization.
Setsuka tries to call someone at Fuyushima Temple, but the same thing happens. Setsuka's face darkened when she discovered she couldn't contact anyone outside school.
"What happened, Setsuka?" Kaede asked worriedly after seeing Setsuka's expression.
"I can't contact the organization or my house!" Setsuka said in a deep voice.
"What!?" Kaede also tried to contact Holy Union and her house, but the same thing happened to her. The students panicked when they learned they couldn't ask for reinforcements from the organization.
"I'm assuming we can't contact the organization due to a barrier covering the school and interfering with our telecommunication signal." Kaede felt that they had fallen into a dangerous situation. Many high-level monsters were approaching the school building, but they couldn't ask for help from the organization. Kaede knew the principal was powerful but couldn't fight all seven minotaurs simultaneously.
"You are right. If we want to tell the Holy Union about this, we must destroy that barrier." Setsuka nodded in agreement at her words.
"Let's do it now!" Kaede understood what her best friend was thinking. He was sure that it was the best way to change their situation.
"Let's go!" Setsuka said and wanted to leave the maid cafe. But she stopped her footsteps after hearing her smartphone ring.
Setsuka found it strange that she shouldn't be able to receive messages or calls from outside because of the barrier. She checked her smartphone and was shocked when she saw the name of the person calling her at this time.
"Kohana? How can she contact me? Hasn't Suisei High School been closed off by a barrier?" Setsuka was flustered but quickly accepted the call.
"Kohana..." Setsuka wanted to ask why the little girl could contact her, but the other party interrupted her.
"Big sister! Please help me... kyaaaaaa!" Kohana said in a trembling voice.
"Kohana! Kohana! Answer me, Kohana!" Setsuka lost her composure and shouted. Her voice caught the attention of the people around her. This was the first time they had seen Setsuka show such an expression.
Setsuka didn't care about that now. She kept trying to call Kohana, but no matter how much she did, she still got no reply from her little sister. Then came a voice from the other side. It wasn't Kohana but something that was destroyed.
Crack!
After that, the call was cut off, and Setsuka's face became gloomy. She could hear her little brother crying in fear before the call was cut off.
"This is bad! If Kohana can contact me, she's in the Suisei High School area! I'm sorry, Kaede. I can't accompany you to destroy that barrier! I have to find Kohana!" Setsuka looked at Kaede and said apologetically. She cannot track Kohana's whereabouts as her position suddenly disappears on the GPS. Setsuka thought that it was because her smartphone had been destroyed.
"I understand. I'll come with you to look for her." Kaede understood Setsuka's concern because she felt the same way as her best friend. She had known Kohana for a long time and had already considered the other party as her little sister.
"Thank you, Kaede. Then let's go now." Setsuka was grateful that Kaede wanted to help her. That way, it would be easier for them to find Kohana. But Setsuka messaged someone first before she left the maid cafe.
***
At the same time, Tenku suddenly raised his eyebrows after hearing the ringing from his smartphone. He quickly checked his incoming messages, and his face became serious.
"I have to go for a bit. You guys stay here and don't leave the building." Tenku warned Takaya and the others. He quickly left the place without waiting for a response from them.
"Wait a minute! Tenku!" Akina wanted to run after him, but Takaya stopped her.
"Where are you going!?" Takaya asked.
"Let go of me now! I want to chase him! It's very dangerous outside! We can't let him out of the building!" Akina shouted angrily.
"Didn't you hear he said he was only going away for a bit? I think this matter is important to him, and you might become a burden for Tenku if you follow him. I've known him for a long time and understand that he won't do anything dangerous. So please trust him and wait for him in this building!" Takaya shows his trust in Tenku. After all, he was his childhood friend, and they had known each other for a long time.
Akina's body trembled after hearing Takaya's words. Even though she lives under the same roof as Tenku, she must admit that Takaya interacts more with him. So Akina decided to believe his words.
"I don't know your business, but please return safely." Akina looked in the direction Tenku had left and prayed with a worried face.
