Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 1 Chapter 3
Chapter 3 – Bonds of the Holy Water
Part 1
Just the fact that Norum Screening had appeared a <True Hero>, it has already drew the attention of everyone before Akatsuki entered the school. But it was unthinkable that he instantly defeated the former A-class Onizuka on his first day of school, then he repulsed the Student Council Vice President Nanase Haruka, and even caused a racket in the Student Council Office. Although the matter about the Student Council Office was unconfirmed, it also added to Akatsuki’s legend, making him instantly the most famous person in Babel.
Currently, including Akatsuki and Miu, all high school division B-class students are all not in the classroom.
They all came to a huge arena imitating the Roman Coliseum, which is Babel’s second arena.
The arena may be located indoors, it is very wide in the inside, with a ceiling of 21 meters, it is equivalent to five or six floors in height, this further highlights the vast interior space.
B-class students came to the arena for class, this is the special physical education course for Alternative World Returnees of Babel. Aside from specialized academic research classes, other students are required to take standard courses such as mathematics and language, they also have to take the combat skills training course.
All of the returnees stayed in the alternative world for a limited period of time, it is almost impossible to fully grasp the ability they obtained from the alternative world. To allow them to master their special ability and making it as your own ability, the related courses occupy a large amount of Babel’s education.
For Akatsuki and Miu, this is their first combat skills training after entering the school.
Including the method of weapon usage, magic chanting, the use of basic tactics, formation layout command and combat simulation — it can be said that the combat skill training is all-inclusive. Of course, this course must have students with relatively same combat ability participate together in order to achieve the most accurate results, this is one of the reasons why Babel place emphasis on student ability and qualifications when deciding the classes.
Waiting for a chance to finally show their strengths, all the students were happily smiling.
However, among the students…one student’s face had no smile, that is Miu with a slightly shrinking back, looking uneasy and staring at the floor.
...What do I do...?
Miu looked down at her appearance. She was wearing the school issued sports clothes, both soft and flexible, with various functions such as being permeable to air and insulating. The special fiber material can withstand a powerful impact, achieving the effect of protecting the body. Although the texture is quite thick, it sticks to the body and fully emphasizes the body’s curves. To describe it in a phrase, it is like an tight outfit with a covering that includes the neck and arms. If it was worn properly, perhaps Miu may be able to accept it, but why is Miu’s outfit worn differently than others, it is not because the objective conditions do not permit it, but rather the abnormal differences compared to ordinary people. The key is the zipper that extends from the neck to the stomach. For it to be easily worn and taken off, the sports clothes utilizes a design with a zipper on the top and on the bottom, the place where it merges is in front of the chest. However, Miu’s boobs were too voluptuous and the top and bottom zipper both could not be merged, creating a diamond shape in front of her chest, her white and tender skin is plainly visible. As for the back, it was also a problem. Under the tight clothing’s constraint, her well-rounded ass curves was even clearer.
“Oh wow, it is almost bursting apart.”
Akatsuki, standing in front, stroked his chin, looking at the embarrassed Miu. Akatsuki has also changed into the sports clothes, but the male outfit is a one-piece which extends from the upper arms to the knees.
...So unfair.
Miu tightly bit on her lower lip, feeling unhappy. At this moment, she discovered that beside Akatsuki, all the males and females on the scene all unanimously looked at themselves, everyone was attracted by Miu’s plump and sexy body figure.
“—Hey, what is it?”
Chikage suddenly appeared as if she was especially concerned. Chikage stared at Miu’s face, she was obviously also wearing the sports clothes.
Her boobs were also well-endowed, although her zipper was able to be pulled up, but like Miu, her curves are all revealed. Miu widened her eyes, quietly whispered into Chikage’s ears.
“T..This sports clothing…”
Miu’s cheeks reddened and issued a sound as quiet as a mouse.
“W…Won’t everyone be embarrassed? W..Wearing this sort of clothes that emphasis on body figures…”
“Ah? Haha…”
A wry smile dawned onto Chikage.
“At first there was certainly a bit of resistance, but after getting used to it, it’s okay. If you regard it as a swim suit, then you would not feel as embarrassed.”
“But…”
Perhaps what Chikage said was correct, but wearing this sports clothing that emphasizes the body curves makes one feel quite ashamed. At this moment a small figured passed by Miu’s eyes. This figure is no different than a young girl, is not an outsider, but is none other than the B-class class rep Doumoto Kuzuha. She not only brought back the person who caused trouble on his first day of school, Akatsuki, from the Student Council Office. Afterwards, she also showed Akatsuki and Miu around Babel, and could be said to have a nice conversation with Miu. So Miu stopped Kuzuha and asked for her advice, Doutmoto answered old-fashionly:
“The more shy and awkward you are, the more you attract others attentions. Just don’t think about it.”
“Y..Yes…”
While Miu muttered, the school bell rang.
Shortly after the class started, the combat skill instructor called forth Akatsuki and Miu.
His intentions are to explain the combat skill course main aspects.
“Oh!”
Akatsuki noticed that the combat skill instructor who called him out was very familiar, and immediately greeted him by a show of hand.
Apparently he is the male combat skill instructor that was responsible for testing Akatsuki and Miu on the entrance inspection day.
“Hello, long time no see. So you’re our combat skills instructor?”
“…P…Please to meet you.”
Miu thought back about her knocking down the combat skills instructor during the entrance inspection and suddenly felt a little guilty. Upon seeing this, the combat skills instructor could not help but show a wry smile.
“Perhaps some people may think I do not have the qualifications to act as the combat skills instructor, but still please to meet you.”
After the opening remarks, the combat skills instructor directly entered the topic.
“First is the method to use AD. Well, did you wear them on your hand?”
Akatsuki and Miu unanimously stretched out their right hand, both wrists were wearing a black wristband.
“AD — Arms Device matches the user’s abilities and talent, it will materialize a weapon that best suits the user.”
“How is it? Did you hear it from the other student?”
“No, it should be that I’ve seen its power before.”
…So it turns out to be this toy’s ability.
Akatsuki slightly smiled, A flushed Nanase Haruka’s face emerged inside his head.
The instructor nodded.
“Is that so, then there is no need to further explain it. Let’s now materialize your weapons. After having an experience once, the second time will be much easier. In the beginning, you may not be able to grasp the trick for imagination, but it is okay for it to slowly occur to you, there is no need to hurry.
“Imagination... This kind of description is too vague, is there a more descriptive method?”
Miu questions.
The instructor nodded, showing commendable eyes.
“It is almost the same feeling as using magic. Magic activates by borrowing a god or elf’s powers, the intention of concentrating and chanting magic is for you to imagine that you’ve received permission to use magic from their hands.”
In short —
“The moment you use the AD to materialize the weapon is to imagine that you yourself have obtained the weapon, allowing your power to liberate from your own body. Thus, AD will naturally become a weapon specific to you.”
After listening to the instructor’s explanation, Akatsuki non-committallly scratched his cheek.
At that very moment—
A sudden flash of light appeared beside him. Only to see Miu closing her eyes, with both her hands stretched forward, gold participles seemed to be collected on the palms of both hands.
The gold particles gradually shrink and slowly take shape, finally become a elongated object, the above is also decorated with a red crystal ball, making it look just like a sacred mace. With teardrop-shaped decorations from the both the upper and lower crystal ball, the main part of the staff is subjected to gold engraving. A magnificent gold holy staff formed in the hands of Miu.
“…”
Miu, who opened her eyes, violently waved, a crisp metal sound spread around the surroundings. Although this action did not have any meaning, but it makes other admire her extraordinary talent.
“Wow, a success!”
Miu was shocked and surprised, almost could not believe that she could do it.
The combat skill instructor nodded, revealing an pleased smile.
“You really have an amazing magic talent. First time materialization is not something that easy, but I can’t believe you succeeded on your very first try.”
In addition —
The materialized weapon will disappear based on your will, or under the circumstances that you’ve lost consciousness, will it disappear. The feeling of the weapon disappearing is just like letting the weapon back into your body and being engulfed by your consciousness.”
“Let me try it out…Ah, really!”
Miu tried it out while following the orders, the holy staff disappeared instantly. Afterwards Miu gently waved her hand, the holy staff reappeared again. Looks like what the instructor said was true, after succeeding it once, future attempts are not a problem.
“— Now it’s your turn.”
The combat skills instructor turned and stared at Akatsuki.
Akatsuki’s left hand scratched his hand and looked at his empty right hand.
“Ahhh~ I can’t do it.”
“Do you not know how to imagine? Then when you use magic, how do you do it?”
“This… I can’t use magic.”
“Ah…”
Miu could not help but cry out. To people who were summoned to alternative world, being able to use magic is the most natural thing, as the daughter of the Demon King of Alayzard, magic is also natural to her. However, magic is not a power that people in this world have, to people such as Akatsuki who can’t use magic; magic is a power of another world, at the same time, an unimaginable dimension.
“…So what should I do now?”
Akatsuki’s question made the instructor have a difficult time.
“Even for the students who know magic, there were some who took several times longer than others before learning how to materialize the weapons, but…”
But no matter what he says they are all people who are able to use magic, it was a completely different situation compared to Akatsuki.
“Unprecedented is it?...This could be a lot of trouble.”
Akatsuki clenched his empty right hand. Near the black wristband, not even the slightest bits of light particles were there
Part 2
A crisp and loud bell sound spreaded throughout the Babel campus, this represents that class has ended. Both the clock’s long and short hand pointed directly on the top, the morning classes came to the end.
Currently it is lunch time, B-class students left the second arena in twos or threes, but Miu’s figure appeared inside the gym’s warehouse. Inside the warehouse is extremely dark, the air is filled with a damp mildew smell, Miu could not help but think back to Alayzard’s castle. This kind of smell was similar to the castle underground caves.
The warehouse’s interior was broader than expected, as expected of the second arena and first arena’s shared warehouse. The deeper you enter, the darker the light becomes, you could not see the other wall at all, not to mention the volume of the place. Miu could not imagine how big this warehouse is, she only knows that everywhere inside the warehouse piled up weapons used for combat training and magic props, as well as cushions of different sizes, iron balls and bags filled with lime, looks like the physical education courses equipment is also piled up here.
A mixture of the smell of her sweat and dust entered her lungs, Miu could not help but cough a few times.
“Class rep, is placing it here okay?”
“Yes, thank you for your help.”
After the combat training course has ended, Miu stayed behind to help Kuzuha to collect the equipment.
After obtaining class rep’s agreement, Miu placed the triangular cone in a corner of the warehouse.
“Ah that’s right, Ousawa-san. This door will automatically lock itself after being closed, there is no way to open it from the inside, you better pay attention to it.”
“Huh, really?”
Miu heard it and looked back at Kuzuha.
“It can be opened from the outside, but not from the inside? Isn’t the design of this too problematic?”
“Just the opposite. This type of design where you can only open it from the outside is the foolproof security system. Inside the warehouse are very important magical props, if someone secretly snuck into the warehouse and moved the items away, wouldn’t things be in more trouble?”
“That’s true, the thief could not allow the doors to be opened while stealing stuff.” Miu suddenly understood. So the design of this warehouse is to capture thieves with evil intentions in their hearts.
Looking back, Akatsuki is still at the arena training hard.
—After Miu expressed her willingness to help Akatsuki materialize his weapon using AD, but the instructor turned it down. The instructor felt that this problem is something that Akatsuki had to overcome by himself, plus Miu had her own course she should learn from and should not waste time here. So under the instructor’s instructions, Miu and Kuzuha formed a group, with Kuzuha teaching Miu how to use the materialized weapon.
The use of AD materialized weapon could enhance the user’s magic and increase the amount being released. In a nutshell, it acts as a medium. Through the help of AD, the user does not have to require on the power of the gods and elves, and can use their own magic power to chant magic. But because the magic Miu uses are almost all entirely drawing on elves and gods’s magic, if she wants to use her own magic power to activate magic, Miu must create a new type of magic.
But as long as you use the materialized weapon, it will enormously increase the magic drawn from elves and gods, in short it can increase the power or shorten the chanting time. After accumulating a certain amount of experience, you can even skip materializing the weapon and directly use the AD as a medium.
…So that’s why Onizuka’s chanting speed was so fast.
Miu thought back about the quarrel on the first day of school. At that time Onizuki’s activated magic was extremely powerful, the chanting speed was surprisingly fast, presumably it must be the results of using AD as a medium.
Aside from that, Miu also remembered another situation. The ice magic used by the Student Council President during the entrance inspection. Creating a giant icicle from the ground, it should be the same method as well.
In addition, Akaktsuki also seemed to encounter the same situation at the Student Council Office. According to Akatsuki’s description, the student council members almost instantly activated their magic.
…But to not think about the occasion and stirring up trouble, this person went too overboard…
Miu sighed. After the school bell sounded for ending class, Akatsuki was called by the instructors to stay behind, probably due to the fact that he could not materialize his weapon. And from Akatsuki’s current expression, he probably could not obtain any decent results now. Thinking up to here, Miu could not help but laugh. The hero who defeated her father could actually have a moment when he was beaten, the world was really unpredictable.
“…Ha ha ha, to think that he also has these types of days.”
But at the moment when Miu snickered.
“—Looks like you’re quite happy, what’s so funny?”
“Whoa—!”
The sound suddenly came from beside her, the startled Miu almost jumped back. Turning around, Akatsuki was standing behind her. Gently pressing her pounding heart, Miu said sulkily:
“D…Don’t scare people okay?” So how was the after class tutoring results? Did you successfully materialize your weapon?”
No, I still didn’t succeed, so I’m taking a short break. It looks like afternoon is real combat training, the instructor specifically told me to eat more, and recover my stamina.”
After saying this, Akatsuki narrowed his eyes.
“Well, who did you say had these types of days?”
“…Huh?”
Miu froze for a moment, and immediately exposed a pair of malicious eyes.
“Ha ha ha, even though you knew you still had to ask. Of course it was you.”
Afterwards she pretended to pout.
“You even had this expression saying “No, I can’t do it”. Ah ha ha ha!”
“I say you, getting proud of yourself because you easily passed…Just wait and see.”
“—Can you two quiet down a little?”
Kuzuha interrupted.
“Ah, Sorry…”
Miu thought she was too noisy and suddenly revealed an apologetic look, but Kuzuha’s gaze did not fall onto Miu but rather stared at the depth of the warehouse.
“—”
“W…What is it…?”
Facing Miu’s questions, Kuzuha reply rather calmly, her gaze remained at the depth of the warehouse.
“—I seem to hear the sound of people talking.”
The inside of the sports warehouse could only be opened with a key.
When previously entering the sports warehouse, the door was closed shut.
If someone was accidently locked in the warehouse, it should be reasonable to stay as close to the door, this will be easier to be discovered by people on the outside.
If they are hiding in the depth of the warehouse, their intention is to avoid people’s eyes and ears.
“C…Could it be that you’ve heard wrong?”
Miu, who was following behind Kuzuha, spoke quietly. Deep inside the warehouse, it was both dark and humid, its atmosphere was almost like a haunted house. After walking for a bit, the sound of people speaking really did seem to come from the front, this terrifying atmosphere made Miu horrified. At this moment, Kuzuha who was in front suddenly stopped, crouched down gently to avoid being found by the other party.
“… Found it.”
“R…Really?”
Miu and Akatsuki both crouched down. Hiding behind Kuzuha, Miu stuck out her head to look around, she noticed figures in the shadows five meters in front. In total there were two people sitting on the soft cushion, but she did not know what they were talking about.
“…Huh? Wait… Isn’t that…?”
After confirming the figure of one of them, Miu was shocked.
Using her pupils that are gradually adjusting to the dark to look carefully once again, Yes that’s right.
“…That’s Izumi.”
The figure that was closer to them was Chikage, she and another female student that Miu does not know were sitting side by side and seems to be talking. Miu felt relieved, Chikage was absolutely not a suspicious individual.
…Huh? Wait a second…
What is Chikage hiding here? Just as Miu was puzzled, the sight in front of her eyes showed her the answer — Chikage kissed the other female student’s lips.
“Whattttt~~!”
Miu could not withstand it and shouted, and afterwards hurriedly covered her mouth. The scene in front of her eyes was the truth, but Miu could not accept this reality.
…Female with Female…?
Miu with her ears completely red stared at the two people, and watched as Chikage slowly pushed down the other female student.
A deep passionate kiss. Their limbs entangles, each demanding from the other.
Akatsuki opened his mouth and said with a calm tone.
“Looks like Izumi’s experiences is quite abundant.”
“… I can’t watch it any longer.”
The petite back in front of their eyes coldly threw out this phrase, stood up and walked towards the front, preparing to enter the crime scene. A few seconds later —
“—!”
“—…—!”
Inside the depth of the warehouse came the sound of a dispute.
“Ah…”
Their good deed was caught by others, it was probably extremely embarrassing. The female student, who was enjoying her sexual conduct with Chikage, blushed with a reddened face flew over from in front of Miu and Akatsuki and disappeared in the direction of the entrance. Afterwards, a sound of a heavy objected being locked came from far far behind.
Kuzuha and Chikage is currently engaging in a fierce dispute, and seemed to not have heard the sound.
At that moment Akatsuki suddenly remembered something.
“Hey… she shouldn’t have locked the door right?”
“…Huh? So…”
Miu, who was yet awaken from the shock of seeing two women entwining among each other, was suddenly awake, and did not seem to understanding the meaning of Akatsuki’s words at that moment. After a period of time, she violently woke up.
“—It can’t be! Are we all stuck in the warehouse now?”
Miu panicky stood up, her elbow accurately hitting Akatsuki’s jaw.
“Ah—”
Miu watched as Akatsuki fell down. Aside from being helpless, she could only temporarily throw away the unconscious Akatsuki and flew off to the entrance of the warehouse.
After coming to the door, she was surprised to find the sliding door was really locked.
“Ah ha ha … This can’t be real, this can’t be real… Oh God Jn19930 (talk)!”
Her smile suddenly disappeared, a panicked Miu used all her strength and attempted to open the heavy doors, but the doors did not move at all. This is also a matter of fact, if a single female’s power could pull open the door, how could it be called a foolproof security system.
“W…What can I do…”
Behind the dejected Miu, Chikage and Kuzuha are still quarrelling.
In this huge warehouse, you could only heard the sounds of the dispute coming for the two people.
