Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 11 Second Period (section)

===Part 4===

After that, Mercuria was carried to Ataraxia Academy’s infirmary for the moment. In case of the unlikely event, the nurse teacher Landred was standing by and first-aid treatment was applied to Mercuria until the Nayuta Lab was prepared to receive her.

After the first-aid treatment, Mercuria was carried by a helicopter that arrived to pick her up.

Other than Landred, inside the infirmary there were Kizuna, Hyakurath, Zelcyone as the one in charge, and Hida Reiri who arrived after receiving contact.

Landred took off her white coat and put it on a hanger.

「Now, my work is finished with that. Everyone too, you all should return home too and rest okay?」

Reiri nodded and then she spoke after looking over the faces of everyone.

「You all have worked hard. Your achievement will be mentioned in praise at the general morning assembly tomorrow. Perhaps it’s troublesome, but it will also become the goal of the other students. I’m counting on you all.」

Zelcyone called out from behind Reiri who opened the door and was about to get out of the infirmary.

「Wait, headmaster. I want to talk.」

Reiri glared with a sharp gaze.

「What is it, student council president?」

「What’s with today? The Entrance and enemy appearance were far different from the prediction. What’s the meaning of that?」

「I don’t know even if you ask me. The data is in the middle of analysis at the lab right now.」

「We aren’t scared to lose our lives on the battlefield because we are soldiers. But still, I too am someone who is entrusted with the life of everyone as the student council president. There is no way I’ll let their lives be thrown away pointlessly. If I cannot obtain an answer that can satisfy me, then even if you are the headmaster I won’t show mercy.」

Both of them glared at each other from very close distance. Not one of them averted their eyes. Their serious gazes scattered sparks in between.

「Wait, wait~ geez, both of you, fighting is no good you knowww?」

With the intermediation of Landred who was lacking in nervousness, the place’s atmosphere was softened. This person mysteriously had the strength to calm down other people. For some reason she healed wounds, whether it was bodily injury, or a wound of the heart.

「Currently, the lab’s team is in the middle of analysis. The result will be collected for the moment at 4 in the morning. I don’t have any guarantee that you will be able to obtain an answer that will satisfy you, but if you want to ask then come at that time. I’ll give an answer without hiding or masking anything.」

「I’ll come for sure」

Zelcyone passed beside Reiri and left the infirmary.

「Headmaster has it hard too isn’t it~」

Reiri sighed and let out the tension in her shoulders.

「It’s a good thing that she has a sense of responsibility. However, that woman has the tendency for favoritism though. Also, abusing authority is also not acceptable.」

Reiri smiled with a sigh ‘fuh’ and exited the infirmary.

「Ah, headmaster. I’m also going home, so let’s go together until there……how about having a light glass of sake while we are at it too?  If you agree, it will be in my room♡」

「I’ll take a pass. You two also go home quickly.」

「Geez……that’s too cold.」

Kizuna stood up and took Hyakurath’s hand.

「We should go back to the dorm too.」

However Hyakurath didn’t move. She kept staring at the floor with a worried gaze.

「It’s……my fault……that Mercuria……」

「It’s all right. Her wound also isn’t that bad.」

「But……I, I……」

Tears were spilling out in large drops from her beautiful blue eyes.

「Let’s go visit her tomorrow. It’s best if you rest slowly for today. There is nothing else that Hyakurath can do for Mercuria for now, right? If Hyakurath also fell sick instead, then Mercuria will get worried too. That’s why, rest for today.」

Hyakurath stood up somehow with the support of Kizuna’s hand and she walked with tottering footsteps to exit the infirmary. Kizuna held her close as though embracing her shoulder and they returned towards the dormitory.
