Chapter 4: Childhood Friend
Chapter 4: Childhood Friend
The atmosphere of the ascension center changed at once.
The floating spirits were the first to slip through the wall, while the staff of the center and the students of class who had came for practice like me each aimed attacks of their own style at the perverted onee-san.
As the alarm echoed loudly, the students of class D strained their eyes as they observed perverted onee-san.
–Spirit detection.
Used for measuring the power of hostile demons, it was a skill that was essential even for trainee exorcists. I can’t use it, though.
The faces of the D-class members who had been feeling eager for a battle all stiffened at once.
"…? That’s a second-rank evil spirit!"
"Impossible! class D can’t handle this!"
Second-rank spirit. A spirit with the power to cause direct harm to a living person.
This was no longer on the level of getting into a photograph and feeling a little heavy in the shoulders. People were usually injured, and even dead if the situation was bad. It was like encountering a wild boar without proper equipment… therefore, it was understandable why there was such a commotion.
The nearby students and staff each gathered in groups of several people and solidified their defenses using warding magic.
Meanwhile, what was I doing in the midst of all this?
"…eehm."
Because I had prioritized calling out the evacuation, I missed the chance to join the defensive formation and stood alone defenseless in front of the perverted onee-san.
"Give me a booooyyy!"
Naturally, her target was me, someone that looked easy to possess.
"You fool! Haruhisa, you of all people should have been the first to evacuate!"
"Hurry and get out of there!"
My classmates simultaneously unleashed exorcism spells aimed at the perverted onee-san from their defensive formations. I tried to find a chance to get out of there, but–
"Don’t try to stop me!"
The perverted onee-san continued coming straight at me, despite the fact that the flying exorcism magics had damaged a part of her spirit body.
"Damn it! We can’t even stall for time!"
"Somebody go get the teacher!"
Just when the students of class D quickly gave up and were about to go call for additional support.
"Uwaa!?"
A strong force was applied to my ankle, causing me to tumble to the ground.
"Kufufu, boys, boys, little boys… I’m going to use your body to experience taking a shota’s first time…"
The perverted onee-san grabbed my ankles while muttering something terrifying.
"Uwaa! Oh shit oh shit! Furuya’s going to get possessed!"
"Hang in there, Haruhisa! Try to hold out!"
Don’t be ridiculous!
I had never been able to activate a single magic formula since middle school. Even the entrance exam I passed was almost entirely due to my connections!
Yup, at this rate I might as well just stuff some glue up my ass to make anal sex impossible before getting possessed! Somebody get me some glue!
Just when my cornered brain came up with this brilliant idea,
"My goodness. Even if you’re a dunce, dunces should at least know how to behave themselves so that they don’t drag others down."
–GOOOOHH!
Suddenly, blue-white flames shot through the air and enveloped the perverted onee-san.
"Guaaaaaahhhhh!?"
The perverted onee-san who couldn’t be dealt with even with the simultaneous attack of class D burned out in an instant. A flame that also affects the spirit body–a will-o-wisp.
"This is why nobody wants to team up with you, Furuya-kun."
An ice-cold voice echoed from above me.
I looked up fearfully at the figure of a second-year highschool student at the Tokyo Metropolitan School for Exorcists, Kuzunoha Kaede.
Despite still being in school, she also worked as a first-rate professional exorcist. She was also my extremely intellectually gifted childhood friend.
"Ah, my bad, you’re a great heelp–"
The moment I stood up while thanking her, Kaede’s fist sunk into my stomach.
"Speak politely when we’re in school. I’m your senpai."
"Tha, thank you for helping me, Kuzunoha-senpai."
"Good."
Kaede nodded without changing her expression.
Her white skin was reminiscent of a snow fairy and her lustrous black hair looked like it could have had magic powers. Her face was so flawless and well-proportioned that even I, who had known her for a long time, sometimes couldn’t help but feel charmed by her.
The class D guys were frozen in front of Kaede who had suddenly appeared.
If she wasn’t my childhood friend, even I would have been hesitant to talk to her, much less approach her.
"By the way, Kuzunoha-senpai, what are you here for?"
"I was on my way home from work when I heard the commotion here. It was nuisance how the alarm kept on ringing so I stopped by."
"What do you mean it kept on ringing… the alarm only went off a few minutes ago?"
"If you can’t solve it in seconds, it’s a long time."
Forcing such an unfair standard on me who belonged to D class… well, she did save my life so I won’t complain here.
Kaede’s cool intelligent gaze fixed itself on my feet. I lowered my gaze and saw a thin bruise on my ankle. It was where the perverted onee-san had grabbed me.
"Getting hurt even though it was just a small fry. Well, I suppose this could also be considered good timing. Come with me."
Kaede spoke in an exasperated tone and grabbed my hand.
