Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia

Thirty students of the technical research department were lined up in front of Kurumisawa Momo. However the atmosphere was generally relaxed. Some were even casually talking with each others.

Okaaay, then Ill explain the task for todayyy

There were students who still talking even when Kurumisawa raised her voice like that.

Heeey, you guys are too slovenly recentlyyy. There is no denying that we are enemys prisoners after all.

Everyone finally turned toward Kurumisawa with that.

No but, nothing has happened in more than one week.

The guys from combat department said that they found a new underground warehouse. It looks like it contained a lot of ingredients for sweets.

Eee! Really? Then

Right right! The girls from home economics club said that theyre making new cake!

Kyaaa, cheers were raised. The clapping sound from Kurumisawas hands was drowned by those voices.

We arent looking for food or clothes here! Battery! Were looking for batteries that contained electricity! Without that, we also wont be able to preserve the foods!

Like that all the members of the technical research department were exploring the vast interior of Ataraxia too today.

The core system was completely shut down. The electricity and gas and water had also stopped completely. However, they wouldnt be able to live like that. It was the technical research departments turn there. They knew that electricity could be used as standalone without relying on the central controller of Ataraxia. With that they were gathering a lot of batteries.

The sunlight here was also pointlessly great, so they were also operating the solar power generation system to generate electricity on its own. They charged batteries using that electricity to operate the water purifier system, refrigerator, and air conditioning.

Were going to try going even lower today.

Kurumisawa took the lead to go deeper underground. She found a familiar passage while walking further.

This place

A memory revived inside Kurumisawas head at that moment.

Its definitely over here!

Momo-chan!?

The other students were surprised seeing Kurumisawa suddenly breaking into a run.

Thats right. If Im not wrong, this place has that! Chief Shikina and I, together we.

A thick door appeared. When she opened that heavy door, there was more door. Behind the severely airtight door was a huge cave. The students who followed Kurumisawa looked in shock.

Uwahamazinghey, whats this place?

It was a huge tunnel with diameter that reached 20 meters. Several pipes were running on the wall. It looked like a multipurpose underground utility conduit underground a city or particle accelerator. That tunnel was stretching straight with its end not visible in sight. And then when they looked at the other end, there was a light from outside. Kurumisawa squinted her eyes to start at the sight that was visible from that hole.

Were inside the biggest particle cannon in the world. The biggest and strongest cannon that mankind created using the whole Ataraxia as accelerator.

Eeh!? Then if this is fired?

The eyes of the other students sparkled.

Thats impossiblenn?

But, if we have the electricity backusing Taros and Demons magic power.

It might shootbut, it will need maintenance for that. We also need electricity to check its condition, so lets gather some more batteries.

Roger! Then, leave it to us to search for batteries!

The students of technical research department suddenly got motivated and scattered to every quarter of Ataraxia. Kurumisawa called at their backs.

Ill leave it to you guys! But be careful!

Kurumisawa stared ahead at the tunnel. She could see the scenery outside from there.

Ahead of it was the palace of Thanatos that towered high on the summit of a tall mountain.
