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

===Part 3===

The bright moon was illuminating the sea. A dark shadow was floating in the sparkling sea of night. A giant silhouette of an island looked like a part of the starry sky was cut apart to leave behind a black hole. That was a super large floating offshore structure, Megafloat Japan.

In order to deal with the AU collision that was predicted to happen, the Vatlantis team was gathering in the sky above Tokyo float.

Grace and the student council president Zelcyone. In addition was the four student council members Clayda, Elma, Lunorlla, and Ramza Also Hyakurath and Mercuria.

Tonight, Aldea and Gravel from the Izgard team were also present for further assistance.

There should also be Valdy in the Vatlantis team, but in reality she was turned into the bodyguard of Reiri, so she wasn’t here. By the way, this wasn’t actually her duty, but rather something that Valdy had done by her own initiative.

But there, Grace found one more silhouette of a person arriving and Grace raised her voice energetically.

「Mu? Oo, isn’t that Nii-sama! Just what is the matter?」

With a smiling face that was a mix of surprise and joy, Grace welcomed Kizuna who arrived with his body wearing the magic armor Eros.

「I just want to observe a bit. It’s okay right?」

「Right! I greatly welcome it. It’s fine isn’t it, Zel?」

The student council president Zelcyone glared fiercely at Kizuna. She was an upper classman, so Kizuna felt a bit nervous. He once more thought that Grace who was always talking to Zelcyone without any tension was amazing.

Honestly speaking, Zelcyone was far older than just being an upper classman. If he misspoke then it felt like she could even pass as a married woman. But, there was a persistent rumor that anyone who said something like that would be consigned to oblivion from darkness to darkness, so Kizuna didn’t even breath a word of his thought. Or rather, there was also a rumor that the student council president could read minds, so he desperately tried to blur his thoughts by recalling the content of his dinner.

Perhaps doing that had some effect, because Zelcyone’s glare loosened and she said to Kizuna.

「Well, I’ll allow it if he doesn’t become a hindrance.」

「Thank you very much.」

His heart wasn’t read or his mind brainwashed. Kizuna expressed his gratitude with a sigh of relieve and lowered his head.

The current leader of the Vatlantis team was Grace, but before this Zelcyone was the one who served in that position. She saw through Grace’s genius and wasted no time to make her succeed the position, but her influence on the team was still going strong.

「Now then……」

Kizuna peeked at the state of Hyakurath that was his purpose. She was moving away from Kizuna and beside her Mercuria was standing by as though to protect her. Even though Kizuna wasn’t causing any particular harm, yet he was sent a glare that looked threatening. Kizuna raised his hand with a wry smile and made his greeting.

At that time, Gravel yelled sharply.

「It’s coming!」

The sky split and fissures ran through the space where there was nothing.

In front of Tokyo station that was dismantled from mainland Japan and rebuilt here, a mysteriously shining rift appeared.

──AU collision.

A rift in space that was produced from the collision between another universe with this universe. From the Entrance that was created from the collision, invading weapons 『Magic Weapons』 that resembled something from another world showed their faces.

Bluehead, a mechanical machine that was nearly ten meters tall, and then the winged Albatros, they appeared one after another. Furthermore, there was the hardly armored Viking army. From behind them, the category A Magic Weapon Dragre, whose form was a fusion of a dragon and a knight, appeared.

Zelcyone clicked her tongue and yelled towards everyone.

「Their number is many! Disperse with two people forming a group! Grace and I will take care of the Dragre.」

Clayda headed towards the Albatros force with Selene in hand.

「We are going, Elma!」

「I understand!」

Elma materialized a huge hammer and chased after Clayda with her white hair fluttering.

The red haired Ramza faced Lunorlla and smiled brightly.

「Then, we are going for the Vikings! They look strong, so let’s go carefully!」

Ramza materialized her weapon that was a large tomahawk and gripped it with her hand. Lunorlla unsheathed her short swords and stared at Ramza.

「Yes. But, was the Viking really that strong?」

「Eh?」

Ramza tilted her head and peered into her close friend’s face.

「They are strong you know! Hasn’t everyone gone through trouble because of them? Besides, you said ‘was’……saying it like that sounded like they were weak before this.」

「Yes……that’s right. Sorry, I said something strange.」

「Are you okay already?」

Lunorlla smiled faintly towards the brightly smiling Ramza.

「Let’s go, Ramza.」

「Yup!」

Lunorlla and Ramza went towards the Viking army.

Kizuna was staring at their actions from a slightly distant spot.

「I wonder if Hyakurath and Mercuria are fine……」

Mercuria was protecting Hyakurath from behind while conducting support fire from long range with her favorite bow, Arc Drive in her hands.

Although Hyakurath was readying her sword, but she couldn’t participate in the battle at all. It could also be perceived that Hyakurath herself was hesitating. It seemed that Mercuria was intending to protect Hyakurath to the end without letting her fight.

The Vatlantis team also had a lot of members, so even like that they might be able to endure through this…….

A laughing voice in high tension could be heard from the floating communication window.

『Ahahahahahahahaha lovely! Aa, sheesh! I’m killing them rapidly here!』

Aldea was assaulting the Blueheads that were advancing through in between the buildings of the business district.

『Aldea! Leave the bunch that came into the city to Vatlantis! We are holding back the bunch appearing from the Entrance!』

Certainly, taking control of the gateway would be effective. The Entrance wasn’t that big. At best, the Magic Weapons could only materialize from there by two at the same time. In that case with Gravel and Aldea, they would be able to defeat the majority of the enemy the moment they showed up into this world.

Like that, then certainly Mercuria’s tactic might work. But, even if they weathered the battle today, what would they do at the next battle?

When Kizuna was thinking, at the faraway place, the space split at the edge of Megafloat Japan.

「Don’t tell me!?」

At the tip of Megafloat Japan, around Hokkaido float an entrance manifested. From that rift, Blueheads and Albatrosses were being spat out successively. Kizuna faced his communication window and yelled.

「Everyone! A new Entrance broke out at the Hokkaido district!」

『What!?』

Continuing after Grace’s flustered voice, Zelcyone’s calm voice responded.

『Hyakurath, Mercuria. You two deal with that.』

『Ye, yes.』

『Bu, but……president』

『What’s wrong? Is there any problem, Mercuria?』

『No……roger.』

Actually, Mercuria not only needed to deal with the enemy by herself, but she was required to do it while protecting Hyakurath. That was something far harder than just fighting alone.

Kizuna stared at the back of the two who were heading towards the new Entrance and made a grim face.

──’Should I ask for reinforcement? But, even if they scramble in a hurry, will they make it in time?’

『Haai, Kizuna! Do you need help I wonder?』

A window suddenly opened and a red haired girl was reflected in it.

「Scarlet!」

When he turned around, Masters that was led by Scarlet was heading his way.

「Yeah, it’s a big help! Please take care of Hokkaido district!」

In a moment Masters arrived beside Kizuna and they looked over the battle situation. Henrietta corrected her glasses’s position while staring at the newly appeared Entrance.

「I see, that way looks lacking in manpower.」

「Uhihi, there are a lot of easy marks♪ Let’s start earning a lot.」

「I can press the trigger! Kufufufu♡」

Leila and Clementine made a questionable smile and they looked like they were going to rush out anytime. Shannon and Brigit were checking their gun’s operation.

Gertrude withdrew out her two particle handguns and moved her body in a warm-up. She moved her hands quickly like in a hand-to-hand fighting skill, showing a gesture as though she was sniping at an unseen enemy.

Magic weapon Brigand that had the same size as a human appeared in large numbera from the Entrance near Hokkaido. Kizuna stared at Gertrude and grinned.

「With your quick draw Gertrude, you are really good at consecutive shooting at melee range. This is really ideal for you.」

「Leave it to me. I’ll take care of all the damn Brigands.」

「Then, everyone we are going! Let’s show them the power of Masters!」

When Scarlet gave that order, Masters jetted their thrusters and headed towarda the Hokkaido district.

「If Masters go there, it might be okay……」

As though to mock Kizuna who was relieved like that, the sky of Kyushu district shook.

「Wha……impossible!?」

An Entrance with the biggest size until now appeared.

──’Just what’s the deal with tonight!? There isn’t anything in the report about so many appearances like this!’

Dragre showed its face from the Kyushu float. Not just one, but they kept appearing in succession.

「These guys……they are bad news.」

When Kizuna whispered that, a familiar voice could be heard from the communication window.

『What is bad news I wonder?』

「Aine!?」

Beside Kizuna who turned around, a white meteor passed by him.

「!?」

That light flew towards the Dragres that just appeared.

「Aine! Don’t be reckless!」

「I’m fine. We are going for her support.」

Kizuna’s shoulder was tapped to reassure him. There he saw the gentle smile of Himekawa.

「Since when……」

「Kizuna-kun went out by yourself, so we were worried. And so, everyone too……」

『Hayuru, I’m going as back up, so take care of the cutting apart role okay.』

A window opened and it projected the relaxed smile of Yurishia.

『Kizuna, from here on properly call out to me okay☆』

Saying that, she winked.

「Thanks Yurishia, everyone……but, you all really noticed my going out huh.」

Both of them twitched and they averted their eyes.

「Tha, that’s……just by chance.」

『Right right, it’s a coincidence see. A coincidence.』

「? Anyway you all really saved us.」

At that time, a huge figure that stretched out the Kyushu Entrance appeared. Its majestic body was so large that the other Magic Weapons didn’t even compare. It was a giant dragon that possessed three heads.

──Category ultra, Tri-Head.

Aine’s window opened and a yelling voice that sounded taken aback could be heard.

『What’s that thing! If something like this is going to come out then at least give a prediction beforehand!』

Certainly it was like she said. With the current prediction technology, something this gigantic appearing should be able to be predicted. This multiple appearance of Entrances, the prediction today had very low credibility.

Suddenly in Kizuna’s head, the figure of Shikina Kei who was doing the prediction of Entrance in Nayuta Lab crossed his mind.

Kizuna renewed his feeling and sent a transmission through the whole battlefield.

「Tri-Head appeared at Kyushu float! For the time being Amaterasu is holding it back! Please reinforce them when the battle at each area is taken care of!」

Although he said that, but in the end could Amaterasu hold the enemy back?

It was an opponent that couldn’t be defeated without almost everyone cooperating. If it wasn’t defeated quickly, there was high danger that the damage would reach Megafloat Japan.

At that time, a cute voice resounded in Kizuna’s ear.

『Captain! Sylvia made you wait desu!』

「Sylvia!?」

The apprentice team member of Amaterasu, Sylvia Silkcut of the middle school. Her talent was an eye-popping one, her small body was hiding a terrifying strength.

The form that was established by that strength was cutting through the night sky.

──’Big.’

From a glance, it was a huge frame that could be mistaken as a Magic Weapon. That was Sylvia’s magic armor Taros. And then one more machine, a magic armor that was about the same size was flying side by side with Taros. There was only one thing that had a huge body that wasn’t inferior to Taros. It was the magic armor Demon. The magic armor of Ragrus who was also in middle school.

『Wait Sylvia! Don’t look like you are rushing here by yourself! I’m also here after all!』

『Of course desu! Sylvia is always together with Ragrus-chan desu!』

『I, I’m not telling you to say it that far! Do, don’t say something so embarrassing!』

Ragrus was an apprentice team member of the Vatlantis team. Both of them had little real battle experience.

But, the two’s talent was the real thing. And then the power of their magic armors. It was more powerful than all other magic armors. It made him want to clash their side’s own monsters against the monster that was Tri-Head.

「Roger that Sylvia, Ragrus! But don’t be reckless!」

『Understood desu!』

『Just leave it to us!』

The large frames that weren’t inferior from Magic Weapons charged fiercely towards Tri-Head. The powerful arms of Taros and Demon caught the neck of the Tri-Head and twisted it up. And then fists that were like a giant iron ball struck on that torso.

The Tri-Head’s armor warped, it raised an agonized voice and its neck moved wildly.

──’Amazing.’

Kizuna spontaneously felt astonished.

There was nobody else that could do that kind of stunt other than them.

──’If this much battle strength gathered, isn’t it fine even if I make Hyakurath retreat?’

Kizuna stared at the Hokkaido district and opened communication with Hyakurath. But, the moment it connected, Hyakurath’s yell struck Kizuna’s face.

『Mer! Get a hold of yourself! Mercuria!』

「!? What’s the matter Hyakurath!?」

Hyakurath was sitting down at a park between buildings. There was the figure of a bleeding Mercuria inside her arms.

And then above them were multiple Albatrosses readying their gun swords, aiming at Hyakurath.

‘I’ll contact Masters to ask them to help, no──,’

He hesitated for a moment.

And then he picked the optimum choice from the multiple choices.

‘After the practical skill class, at the shower room I──then!’

「Mode Cross!」

The pink colored light running on Eros’s armor changed color to gold. And then the armor on his back unfolded, forming a new machine. In the blink of an eye, Cross’s Differential Frame was created.

「Go-!」

The golden particle cannon rushed through the night sky and pierced the Albatross above Hyakurath. Then this time Kizuna turned the Differential Frame’s propulsion power to maximum and instantly dashed towards Hyakurath’s position.

「Are you okay!?」

「Ki……Kizuna-kun……Mer she, pro, protected, me……」

Hyakurath’s cheeks were wet from her tears. Mercuria who she hugged onto her chest groaned and opened her eyes.

「Hya, Hyakurath……don’t worry. It’s just a graze……」

And then she looked up at Kizuna and her lips warped.

「Fu……this is unsightly. Leave me behind……take Hyakurath to a safe place. Do that for me, Kizuna.」

「What are you saying Mer! Something like that is no good!」

「It’ll be all right if it’s me ……I can protect myself. That’s why……」

「Just what are you saying even though you cannot even stand!」

Hyakurath was shedding tears while embracing Mercuria’s body.

Kizuna looked up at the sky and glared at the approaching Albatrosses.

──’Five in total. Can I defeat them while protecting these two?’

However, in the next moment, several flame explosions bloomed and blocked the way of the Albatrosses.

「This is, Scarlet’s──」

Ten-odd missiles exploded in the sky once more. And then a bright voice resounded from the communication window.

『Kizuna! Sorry! Over here we also had our hands full! Everyone, fire all at once!』

The Albatrosses that were checked in place by Scarlet’s missiles were assaulted by Masters’ all out attack. The Magic Weapons became riddled with holes right away and exploded.

『Boss Kizuna! The damned Entrance here is closing!』

Just as Gertrude said, the Entrance at Hokkaido float was in the process of closing.

『This is Grace, the enemy at Tokyo float is also annihilated! The Entrance is closed too!』

Kizuna yelled at a communication that was directed to all teams.

「What’s left is only the Kyushu float! Amaterasu is holding back Tri-Head. Everyone, please reinforce them!」

Zelcyone’s face was projected into the window and she ordered to all members.

『There is no enemy we cannot defeat if we combine our strength! An all-out battle! Show them the strength of Ataraxia Academy!』

Replies of 『Roger!』 came back from each one.

And then, Vatlantis, Izgard, and Masters headed towards the Kyushu district.

Perhaps as the result of their habitual practice, even without any particular instruction each member made use of their forte and naturally shared the burden. And then using splendid coordination they fired an all-out attack and at the end of a few minutes of battle, the Tri-Head was destroyed. The Entrance that appeared at Kyushu float also vanished.

And then, in the night sky of Megafloat Japan, the victory song of Ataraxia Academy was sung.
