Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 9 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 1===

The stadium in the high school department of Ataraxia. It was a facility mainly for the sake of carrying out the activity of track and field competitions, but it was twice as spacious as a normal stadium. That was because it was also used as the practice of the combat department. There was consideration for practicing Technical Gears and depending on the situation it could also be used for mock battles.

However it wasn’t assumed that it would be used for the match that was currently carried out.

The students of the research department were observing that match with their feelings in suspense.

“I beg you~, don’t destroy the stadium too much okayyy……we are the ones that will get scoldeddddd-!”

Huge metallic lumps were clashing.

The shockwave and the clashing sound reached even the students who were observing on the stands. As though their eyes reflexively closed and their bodies stiffened as though hands were clapped in front of their eyes.

“Kyaa!”

“A, amazing……this is, a battle between fellow super large types……”

Just by looking the pressure was overwhelming.

The observer stand vibrated, making those standing stagger on their feet. The raised wind flapped the skirts. Because of the uniform with short skirts, the underwear beneath became fully exposed, but it wasn’t the time to look at that because all the eyes were fixed on the impressiveness in front of their eyes.

Two large type magic armors. One of the pilots raised a yelling voice.

“I will receive the victory mark today! Sylvia!”

Ragrus’s small body was settled in the huge magic armor. Demon was charging as though it was sliding on the field of the stadium. And then it raised its fist. The strong arm that was the largest weapon of Demon struck.

“Sylvia won’t let that happen desu!”

Sylvia’s Taros blocked that strong arm.

“Kuu!”

The impact shook Taros and Sylvia that was settled at its center. The slight groan leaked from that small mouth, and then Sylvia’s grimacing face made Ragrus’s movement stop.

“Sylvia?”

“It’s fine desu! Sylvia is still continuing desu!”

This time Taros’s strong arm attacked Demon. Rather than calling that an arm it was more of a hammer. A metallic lump like a large vault with a door attached. That was Taros’s right arm.

“HAAAAAAA!”

And then the left arm was a flat cube. Just by getting struck with that, even concrete would be easily pulverized, but one could understand from the two opened muzzles that it was the barrel of a particle cannon. A distance of just a few meters were closed with the thruster of posture control and then that muzzle was directed at Demon.

“From this near!?”

Ragrus was driven by nervousness. She wasted no time to move Demon’s left hand to the front. Life Saver was deployed on the palm. However Sylvia instantly lowered the muzzle and aimed at Demon’s leg.

The purple light particles that were fired hit Demon’s knee.

“Chih! The right leg got hit!? The damage?”

Ragrus’s eyes roamed through the window opened in front of her body that displayed Demon’s condition. There the display that the right leg was unable to be used was flickering.

“Cheh! Troublesome!”

While spitting that out she cut the driving force of the right leg.

At a mock battle projectile weapons like the particle cannon had the output set to the lowest setting. In exchange the state of the impact was analyzed and it decided how much damage was received. Following that decision the match was continued with the assumption of receiving that damage. What Ragrus was doing right now was following that rule.

“It’s uncool so I don’t’ want to really do it but……”

Ragrus thrust both of Demon’s arms to the ground and did a handstand.

“Eeh!?’

Sylvia was also taken by surprise at that stance.

“Here I go Sylvia! After all I also hate consecutive losses!”

Demon dashed using the hand like legs. It passed through Taros’s side and disappeared from Sylvia’s field of vision.

“Fast-!?”

Demon’s speed was even faster than when it was running with its legs. And then its posture control using the huge palm was far more nimble than usual.

As expected even Sylvia got led around by the nose.

‘――But, if it is with the combination of the left hand’s particle cannon and the main {{furigana|cannon|Ignis}}!’

Sylvia made Taros turned around and ignited her large rocket. Ragrus opened her eyes wide towards Taros that was heading to her with a body blow.

“No way-!?”

‘Even though I thought I had taken absolute distance!’ While cursing inside her heart, Demon bent its arm and gathered strength before straightening all at once, jumping to the air.

Taros passed through below Demon. However Taros stuck an anchor from one of its legs and faced the falling Demon with its hammer striking.

“HAAAAAAAAAAA!”

“SYLVIAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Even while receiving intense impact, the hammer of Taros’s right arm was blocked.

“Guh……u!”

Igniting the thruster, Demon matched the motion of the hammer to escape from the impact.

“!?”

Taros’s posture broke with its inability to stop the momentum.

“I got you!”

Ragrus got away from Taros’s hammer and landed at a close range. At that time she had already made the preparation to strike a punch.

But, at that time what was reflected in Ragrus’s eyes was the appearance of Sylvia’s grimacing expression with a pale face.

“!!”

Ragrus floated a console of light and touched the button for emergency suspension of the match. Sirens immediately resounded inside the stadium and the magic armors stopped functioning.

“Sylvia!”

Ragrus got out from Demon and leaped at Taros. When Ragrus’s body separated from Demon, the magic armor became beads of light and vanished.

“Eh, Ragrus-chan. What’s the matter desu?”

Ragrus shouted with a voice that was colored by anger.

“What do you mean what’s the matter! How can you say that with that kind of face!”

Ragrus lent her shoulder to Sylvia and she pulled her out from Taros.

“Good grief……it’s still impossible for you to do anything like a mock battle!”

“Ehehe, recently Sylvia felt good so I thought that perhaps it’s fine already desu……”

“Everyday life and battle is completely different!”

After Sylvia’s body got down on the ground, Taros’s body became light similar to Demon and vanished. The ambulance came at that timing. The research department and the rescue squad department came rushing after receiving the contact of the emergency suspension. A stretcher was carried from the car and the rescue students dashed towards Ragrus.

“Ragrus-san, please put Sylvia-san on the stretcher.”

“No need! I’ll carry Sylvia to the hospital!”

Ragrus said bitingly while embracing Sylvia’s body.

A cool voice cut in from behind the bewildered rescue squad.

“Ragrus, leave this to the specialists.”

“Hyakurath, sama……”

With her golden ponytail swaying, the captain of the Leon squad of Vatlantis Empire’s imperial guard, and also the class representative of second year first group, Hyakurath had come. And then beside her was Mercuria of Tigris squad.

“But-! I’m!”

Mercuria put her hand on her waist and talked admonishingly.

“However Ragrus, the place she will be carried to is not the hospital, it’s Nayuta Lab.”

“Uu……!”

“You don’t even understand where she will be carried to in the first place――”

Hyakurath raised her hand and stopped Mercuria.

“Everyone of the rescue squad, please.”

Following Hyakurath’s instruction, the relief squad took over Sylvia from Ragrus’s arms, they put her on the stretcher and brought her to the ambulance. The moment the door closed, the car dashed away with its sirens roaring. Ragrus was staring at the back figure of the ambulance with worried gaze.

“It will be fine. There is no danger to Sylvia-san’s life.”

Hyakurath gently put her hand on Ragrus’s shoulder.

“……I guess. That’s right, that’s only obvious.”

Ragrus recovered her calm a little and looked up to the sky. Over there the result of the match was displayed. Two minutes fourteen seconds after the start, it was Ragrus’s defeat due to her surrender.

“Aa―aa, it became consecutive defeats……”

Sounds of applause reached the ears of Ragrus who looked up to the sky. When she looked around thinking what happened, the students who were watching the match from the stands were clapping towards Ragrus.

“What? What’s this?”

Ragrus looked up to Hyakurath looking for an answer.

“Everyone is moved you know?”

“Ha?”

Ragrus’s face scowled.

Hyakurath also looked at Ragrus with a happy face and applauded.

“They applauded your friendship with Sylvia-san, and your noble heart.”

“Eh……”

Ragrus’s face became red in a flash.

“Tha, that’s stupid!? So, something like that”

However the thundering applause was growing increasingly louder.

“Aah―, geez! I’m going already!”

She rushed out as though running away. Mercuria called out to that back with a mean face.

“Ah, Ragrus! It’s not the hospital but the lab remember! Don’t get mistaken!”

“SHUUUUUUUUUUUT UP-!”

Ragrus’s figure vanished towards the exit while it looked like she almost tumbled.
