Chapter 130: Surprise Attack
Chapter 130: Surprise Attack
Kuma and the berserk girls are raging their battles. Despite these girls' lacks the experience in fighting based on their flimsy moves, that didn't stop them from attacking Kuma and keeping the teddy bear busy. Raigaki helped along in keeping the girls at bay while protecting Yaya as the latter has to supply mana to Kuma to continue moving.
"These girls are much tougher than the guys we defeated earlier!" Raigaki frowned.
"I am just assuming it but these girls are much tougher to deal with due to their ritual. From what I can see, they have already managed to continue the ritual for a few minutes already before they were interrupted by that girl they strangle earlier which is the cause of why they are stronger than those guys before. The ones we beat up are clearly the people who barely managed to start the ritual and got interrupted which is why the powers they are possessing are not as strong as this one," Yaya analyzed.
Still, despite the strong power that made these girls stronger, Kuma who was being supplied with Mana by a seasoned magician is no match for them. After a few more minutes of channeling mana to Kuma, they managed to overpower the girls and kept them in the bay. As soon as they were held back, Raigaki and Godou rush in for the kill although they are not going to really kill.
PA!PA!PA!PA!PA!
One by one, the girls fell to the ground with their eyes dilated. Sure enough, they were knocked out from their berserk state. Also, they seemed to have regained color.
"Alright. These girls are now good to go. They won't be troubling anyone much anymore," Yaya sighed in relief.
"Let's remove the crimson threads from their fingers first. That way, the effects from those threads will disappear from them, allowing them to stop going to berserk state," Godou said.
"Go do that, I will tend to the girl first," Yaya said.
"Alright."
...
Seeing the three working together, I decided to just stay put from the battle and just wait together with Yuri and Yuto. Although this school belle has a very bad reputation on me due to what she did last time, I am not the person who keeps a grudge forever, after all, bearing grudge will be your downfall in the future.
The school belle is still pale but she is now recovering. I didn't worry about her knowing the magic skills we just used. With the mind wipe skills, we can just wipe the memory they have about the magic and the ritual. But that will depend on Yaya and the others if they agree to delete her memories during this situation.
I saw Yaya coming after dealing with the girls while carrying Kuma. She looks a little bit pale but just a little which might be the result after supplying mana to Kuma for the duration of the battle.
"Is she okay now Kazuma?" Yaya asked and pointed at the school belle.
"She is hanging in there but I don't know if she is fine after she was strangled. I don't have any healing magic so you can do the honor of healing her."
"That must be a really close call for her, if we are a few minutes late, she might have died from that. But since she is fine, then we can sigh in relief"
Yaya cast a light healing spell to her and the redness on her neck slowly disappears. The wounds she also gained after fighting back from the girls are also healing rapidly.
"Ah? What is happening?" She frowned when she saw all of her wounds are healing rapidly.
"Stay still. You need to be perfectly still before you can properly move around to avoid getting further injuries from your body," Yaya said as she continues healing her.
"...Alright..." although she was visibly confused, she decided to relax like what Yaya said.
It didn't take too much time for her wounds to fully disappear. Her breathing also returned to normal and she is now in good shape.
"Just what is that? How did my wounds got healed like nothing? Is that sorcery?" she looked at Yaya with a confused look.
"Doesn't really matter what you call that, the important thing is that you managed to survive and you got lucky. Just how did you get involved in that situation anyway?" Yaya asked.
Of course, the school belle looked confused.
"Uh... Yaya-san, you can explain the situation first before asking questions. She is visibly confused by what you are saying."
"Ugh... Do I have to explain? I suck at explaining things, but oh well, I will just have to do well on this one."
...
It took us 5 minutes of our time before Yaya managed to finish the summary of what is happening. She kept it too precise that the events were all shortened to a certain amount of words to fit everything into a few sentences. The school belle is either confused or totally bewildered on what Yaya is saying so she was just nodding and nodding even though she is visibly not able to understand anything from her words.
"Is there a point saying those to her?" I whispered on Godou.
"Not really but if we managed to get cooperation with someone who has gotten some clue from these events, then it will be worth it. Besides, it's the school belle, don't you want to get the attention of her?"
"You seemed to have forgotten that I had bad blood with her. Did you already forget the rumors last time that involved me?"
"Hmmm, I am not really updated to the gossips last time so I think I might have forgotten it or did not just hear that rumor. Anyways, if you have some sort of bad circumstances with her, then I will not pry much then."
After a few minutes of conversation, Yaya helped the school belle stand up.
"We have to send these collapsed girls into the infirmary. Luckily, Erina's mother is currently on duty right now. We can just have Erina heal them properly since my healing magic is just a half-assed one. Let's leave that job to the expert," Yaya said.
"How do we carry these girls to the infirmary? Just so you know, I don't have much strength to carry a single one of them," Raigaki said.
"Don't worry, I heard from the report of Voltaire during the last invasion here in Tokyo that Kazuma and his familiar can teleport, which means it is fine for us to teleport directly into the infirmary without moving. You can do that right, Kazuma?" Yaya looked at me, waiting for confirmation.
"Yeah. But it all depends if my familiar can do it right now. I don't want to force him to do it if he didn't want to," I said.
"Don't worry Master! As long as you supply me sufficient mana, I can transport us anywhere that we already have stepped into. So if you want to teleport to the infirmary, I can do it without problem as long as you keep the mana line intact to me, Master," Yuto said.
"If that is the case, then let's do it," I nodded and agreed to Yaya's suggestion.
"Wait, before we go, I have to make sure no one is in the infirmary for now," Yaya said and pulls out a paper crane origami and put it on her palm.
"Om, Sochiriya Sowaka," she whispered and blows it to the origami.
When her breathe hit the origami, it sprang up to life and started to fly like it was operated with the machine.
"Wow! Is that what you call magic?" the school belle asked.
"Yes. It is one of the magic skills I can do."
I am carefully observing the origami paper crane when all of a sudden, a fast object flew by, destroying the paper crane as it passes by to it. Yaya winced in pain and covered her left eye.
"Yaya!" Raigaki immediately moved beside Yaya and supported her as she held her eyes bleeding.
"What is going on?" the school belle was stunned to see Yaya who was just beside her a second ago fall and with a wound on her eye.
"F*ck! Looks like the enemy has already detected our meddling to his plans! He targeted the second eye of Yaya and made sure to connect the injury of the shikigami to her! Everyone! Get ready to fight! If my intuition is right, he will send us some "gifts" to execute us! Protect Yaya! Kazuma! Channel the teleportation process! We will be going to the infirmary, whether there is someone else in there or none at all!" Godou commanded as he released his stone hands, which is now another variant due to the menacing spikes now present on his fists.
