Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 2 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 4===

‘――Aah! Geez, how infuriating!’

Himekawa that sneaked out from Ataraxia was flying alone above the sea.

‘Whether it’s him or anyone, no one is reliable. As I thought, I can only do it myself.

I will defeat the category-Ultra.’

But, what if the enemy magic armor came out?

‘At that time, I’ll defeat Aldea first. That’s all.’

Before long Himekawa arrived at the sky above Guam.

‘――I wonder where they are?’

Himekawa materialized floating windows around her body.

If there was magic weapon, then the sensor should detect it.

‘……Looks like they are not here.

Was it pulled back to the Entrance?’

At that time, a certain sensor was shining red.

It was not magic weapon. This reaction was……Heart Hybrid Gear!?

“My my, you came alone? This is a surprise.”

“……So you show yourself!!”

Wearing the green colored magic armor Zeel, Aldea was floating on the air. She was brimming with gentle smile.

The reaction displayed on Himekawa’s sensor was unmistakably came from Heart Hybrid Gear. But this meant that magic armor and Heart Hybrid Gear was the same thing.

“I’m happy that you come to meet me. Let’s pass an enjoyable time? I wonder if it’s better to have a talk, or is it better to kill each other?”

Himekawa immediately drew out the Sword on her waist.

“My, so you are wishing for killing each other then.”

The moment Aldea said that, her shields detached and lined up in the air. One among them was shining brightly, changing its shape into spear. Aldea’s hand grasped that spear.

“I too come out here by my own decision……so if I don’t at least bring home a Core, I will get scolded. I will have the Cores of you and your comrades to bring back home.”

“Blade!!”

From Himekawa’s back, large swords were flying out. They cut through the sky and aimed at Aldea.

“I know that those shields boasted iron wall protection. But!”

‘――I just need to avoid the shield, and attack directly!’

Himekawa imagined the trajectory of the Blades.

The Blades changed their trajectory as if reading Himekawa’s heart, they circled around Aldea with acrobatic motions as if toying with her.

And then, they assaulted all at once from four directions.

Together with a brilliant flash, four shields blocked the attack of the Blades. Even now the Blades were trying to push back by raising their output, but the shields were also pushing back. During that time fierce sparks scattered.

The thruster of Neros ignited and Himekawa’s body sailed out in straight line.

‘――Even if those shields blocked the Blades, this Sword will cut you apart!’

“TEYAAAAA-!”

The Sword was swung down on Aldea.

Fierce light surged out like lightning.

Before Aldea’s eyes, the remaining single shield blocked the attack of Sword.

“Kuh……as expected from the shield that blocked Pulverizer’s attack. However!”

Himekawa pressed on with Sword.

The figure of Aldea on the other side of the fiercely shining shield was changed completely with just now. Because she was using her magic armor as shields, right now her appearance was mostly only her flesh body.

‘――Right here, if I can just deal a slash at her……I’ll win!’

“Prepare yourself! After defeating you, the next one will be that Tri-Head!!”

“As expected from Neros. I cannot underestimate you……but…”

“This is!?”

Suddenly, the Sword bended.

The shield blocking Sword was also similarly greatly warped. From the gap, Aldea’s smiling face could be peeked.

“……!!”

The spear grasped in that hand was stabbed on her own shield, distorting the space together with the Sword. The spear stretched out straight, brushing aside the shield and Sword.

“No――”

The tips was stabbed at Himekawa’s chest.

Similar with the previous battle, it was like the inside of her chest was taken right from the root, a strange sensation. And then in the next instant, her body was blown away as if she was pulled behind.

“Gah, GAHAAaAAA-!”

After being blown away for about two hundred meter, she finally could stop herself. She pressed on her chest and felt a relieve that her own flesh was still there.

――However, what if it was stabbed into her just a little deeper?

She recalled the destroyed building before this. What if she met the same fate like that?

A shiver ran through Himekawa’s whole body.

“It’s fine to kill you, but this is a rare chance so let’s enjoy it dramatically. I’ll collect the other Cores while I’m at it.”

When Aldea who was soaked in joy spread her hands, the spear returned to its original shield shape.

And then, behind and front, left right above below, six shields were surrounding Himekawa.

“Wha……?”

Looking from this close, the shield’s structure was like four layer piled up together. Those layers were unfolding one by one with the circle shape attached on the top of the shield as the axis, transforming into X-shape. The next instant, each of the top was linked at each other with light, then they began to radiate green light.

“――This is……-“

Himekawa became locked inside cube of light. Each surface was possessing X-shaped frame, it was a cage of light. Nervousness ran through Himekawa’s body.

Suddenly, the space inside the cube distorted.

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!”

The distortion wringed Himekawa with fierce impact and pressure.

‘Kuh! Thi, tis is……I’m imprisoned!?

Something like this, I’ll destroy it from inside with Blade……!’

However, the Blades that should be moving obeying her will couldn’t be controlled.

“Wh……why is this!?”

Himekawa intended to launch them in straight line, but the Blades were just rolling in place, they couldn’t get out from this cube. It was as if they were imprisoned by unseen power.

‘――Then, with Sword!!’

Himekawa put all the strength in her body to swing down the Sword, but it wouldn’t move just like she wanted.

‘――Wh, why?’

Neros’s output was clearly dropping down. Himekawa confirmed the status of Neros in panic.

Her Hybrid Count……was already none?

The gauge was already in red zone, the remaining amount had became only 5%.

‘No way! This, this, kind of thing.’

Himekawa’s consciousness was becoming distant.

‘No, no good, it’s painful……my awareness, cannot hol――.’

Her blurred sight could see the figure of Aldea right nearby.

“Ufufufu, you are now in the role of the captured heroine you know? Act your role properly okay?”

‘No good……I can’t move, even a single finger already.

I want…..

Hybrid Count.

――Hida-kun.’

Himekawa’s consciousness sunk deeply into the darkness.
