Chapter 6 – Raid Night

Part 1

A staff meeting was called abruptly.

“The report that Beatrix was defeated in Hayashizaki Kazuki’s hand had came in.”

Headmaster Otonashi informed the Magic Division’s staff that had gathered.

“Beatrix’s life is not in threatening condition, but it seems she had fallen into magic intoxication. A request from Hayashizaki’s party had reached the Knight Order to recover Beatrix’s person. …When the Einherjars was notified, they demanded explanation to u as to what had happened. Why did the Magic Division’s students had became an obstacles to them?”

Headmaster Otonashi explained with such information about why he called for this special staff meeting.

Liz Liza had never thought that he would especially call for meeting like this.

“The students protected Lotte on their own accord in an unfortunate accident, there is no other way other than telling them that right?”

It was not delightful news for Germany, but in this matter that couldn’t be helped.

[Unfortunate accident didn’t happen.]

It was not a story where they could take responsibility. It was not an unfortunate accident in the first place.

However Headmaster Otonashi shook his neck slowly while pushing his forehead with his index finger.

“It would end with only that explanation if it was students. There won’t be any kind of responsibility for us. If it was students, we would spend all of the power available to us to protect the student. But in this current situation, the responsibility that became the problem was that the illegal magician that was entrusted to our academy brought about harm to the knight of Einherjar, and abducted the personage of Charlotte Leibenfrau. It was an illegal magician that did it.”

Liz Liza’s complexion changed. By no means, was it Hayashizaki Kazuki who he referred to as illegal magician ?

“…Regarding the unidentified Diva that Hayashizaki Kazuki is contracted with, the risk is supposed to be minimal. He is a student that we should protect. By no means he is an illegal magician or such…”

It was true that Hayashizaki Kazuki had a contract with different Diva than Solomon 72 Pillar…he was an illegal magician in the eye of the law. However, the matter developed where they couldn’t meddle carelessly with him.

Because Lemegeton introduced herself as the Demon King who supervised Solomon 72 Pillar.

“If he is a harmless existence, we could watch him as long as we like, but he defeated the ace of the Einherjar. This couldn’t be said as an easy-going matter anymore.”

The inside of the conference room was stirred with voices of confusion toward Headmaster Otonashi’s words.

But to consider him a danger because he was powerful enough to defeat Beatrix―no matter how they looked at it, the impression that the decision was over-rushed didn’t change. Hayashizaki Kazuki couldn’t be said to be a honor student, but he was just a normal student. There wasn’t supposed any reason to doubt him until that much.

“What tomfoolery is this. How can you reach that kind of conclusion? There isn’t even enough material to doubt him.”

“…A report came in that the other day, at the quest that Hayashizaki Kazuki’s party undertook, he picked up a Sacred Treasure illegally. The knights that happened to be present at that time demanded him to hand over the Sacred Treasure but he resisted, the knights even ended up injured.”

“Illegal possession of Sacred Treasure…? Resisting…? How stupid, there is no way Hayashizaki Kazuki would…”

“The emotion to want to believe the pupil you are in charge of is very noble isn’t it?”

Headmaster Otonashi returned her words with mocking tone.

That brief comment had controlled the atmosphere of the conference room with the exception of Liz Liza. The other teachers who despite the image of normal student that could be trusted that Hayazhizaki Kazuki had amassed, when they imagined his hidden side they became scared.

How foolish…. No, in the first place why were the knights dispatched at the quest with such low level of difficulty that Hayashizaki Kazuki received?

Right now, weren’t all the knights in the metropolis had been grouped into Loki’s subjugation’s teams?

What in the world was this unnaturalness?

Impossible. Such thing weren’t supposed to be done to Hayashizaki Kazuki and Lemegeton. Was there any scheme behind the scene…? Could it be…someone with bottomless ill will toward a person who introduced himself as King!?

“Including the matter of [repulsing Beatrix’s attack], the Knight Order demanded this academy to take responsibility. The students took action on their own accord…we couldn’t say that anymore. We have to apprehend Hayashizaki Kazuki and Charlotte, and hand over Charlotte’s personage to Germany. After that, we are going to apply sealing measure to Hayashizaki Kazuki temporarily and banish him to the Sword Division.”

The situation had automatically progressed to the worst.

―The conclusion moved to the direction where Hayashizaki Kazuki and Lotte couldn’t be saved anymore.

“…Lemegeton is a Diva that is possibly connected to Solomon 72 Pillar. If we meddle unskillfully to that contract connection, there would be concern of the deterioration of our relation with Solomon 72 Pillar.”

Headmaster Otonashi’s expression changed for the first time after he listened to what Liz Liza pointed out, “Fu, fufufu” his shoulders was shaking.

“A 15 years old kid is a King, there is no reason to believe such a stupid talk. The Diva who pretend to be Lemegeton, whispering sweet words to the ear of a 15 years old boy when at that age they tend to dream about stupid things, that this boy could become a king. This is just a stupid trick. …But for the moment, we still have some allowance to wait and see. That’s why, now when it’s still an internal problem of this academy, we can deal with this without much fuss by banishing the problem to the Sword Division. After that we could perform the <Stigmata Transplanting Operation> slowly to transfer the stigmata into more reliable person than Hayashizaki Kazuki, we could investigate the true identity of that Diva better.”

Stigmata Transplanting Operation…? But that technique had the risk of breaking down the mind of the person that had their Stigmata taken out, such inhuman path of research like this should have been discontinued. Because the Stigmata was connected to mind of the contractor even until their atomic particle, there was no way to conveniently took out only the Stigmata.

From Liz Liza’s side, board chairman Amasaki start to speak like he was trying to convince himself somewhere deep inside.

“If it’s now everything could be solve just by banishing Hayashizaki Kazuki to the Sword Division. It’s unfortunate about Charlotte Liebenfrau, but…she is not a student of this academy…”

According to the law, Hayashizaki Kazuki was a criminal. Any objection couldn’t change that.

Liz Liza kept silent. What could she do by herself?

Headmaster Otonashi made the verdict.

“If there is even a little suspicion…that was the agreement right from the beginning. From now, starting immediately, I order the strongest Magica Stigma of the academy―Otonashi Kaguya to take the quest for apprehending Hayashizaki Kazuki and Charlotte Liebenfrau.”

That kind of stupid action…Liz Liza’s mind turned pure white.

Even though Otonashi Kaguya was very affectionate toward Hayashizaki Kazuki.

For such an order to be handed down by Otonashi Kaguya’s own father….
