Intense Battle
In this class, there exist something called the ‘special lesson’. That is precisely the reason this place is called the『special class』, and everybody takes the rigorous selection exam in pursuit of that.
In other words, the special teacher Hazen＝Heim’s lesson.
The students who were gathered in the courtyard, everyone is standing upright unmovingly with a sense of nervousness all the same……except for Asch and Liana.
“Good grief……to think that I’ll be tormented by Hazen-sensei even in school”
“Don’t grumble. Don’t complain. Don’t swear”
Krist glares annoyedly at the intimate two’s squabble. A vengeful student who firmly swears to make him understand how incompetent he is in front of Hazen, no matter what, he is.
In the middle of all that, all of a sudden, a magic circle emerges. It illuminates the courtyard brightly with a white light and obstructs the students’ visions. That light continued for several seconds, and when it eventually stopped, Hazen was standing at the spot of the magic circle.
“Hello, I’m Hazen＝Heim”
・・・
After the silence, cheers erupted explosively. All of a sudden, he appeared from that spot like he came out of thin air. That was, a showy entrance scene with a completely New Magic(Original), and there was no way the magic-loving students would not get riled up.
“Ha-, Hazen-sensei, that just now was Space Teleportation Magic, right?” “When you did develop such a marvellous magic?” “When will the application to the Continent Magic Association and the announcement be?” “It is my pride and joy to be able to take lessons in this special class”
Hazen accepts the storm of compliments that slip from their mouths indifferently.
“”……””
However, Liana and Asch remained silent without being particularly excited. This magic which looks as though he moved through space itself. The truth is, he simply made the magic circle shine, blinded their eyes, and arrived at that magic circle with a dash during that gap. Making full use of the ‘Strongest Magician’ title, nobody besides the two of them realised.
It is one of Hazen＝Heim’s many party tricks.
“Well then, let’s start the lesson now that the sideshow is over, shall we……I’ve, not decided on what to do yet though……yeah……”
The strongest Magician, walks before the students with a smirk and checks them out respectively.
“Alright! Let’s have all of you fight!”
In that instant, a『!?』mark floats on all the students
“In 10 minutes, everybody will scatter to their respective positions, and each of you will attack your enemies. If you take them down, you win. You can even team up, but there’s only 1 winner. How’s that; it’s easy, right?”
Jill, the studious beautiful young girl, timidly raises her hand at Hazen, who proposes with a smile from ear to ear.
“Er-, erm……is there no worry about overdoing it and getting hurt?”
“Aah, you might die……but, so?”
!?
“So……what do you mean ‘so’!”
“Aah, I guess my sentence was incomplete huh. I shall heal the students who got hurt. Whaーt, I have the confidence to heal even a serious injury in an instant. That’s why, be careful not to die instantly”
Indifferently, nonchalantly, the strongest Magician says.
“Erm…….what happens if we die instantly?”
“You die”
“Wi-, will you not help us?”
“A magic that resurrects the deceased does not exist as of now”
“……”
“Well, it will be handled as an in-lesson incident, so there will be reparation. Of course, I will contribute as well”
‘Tha-, that is not the problem hereーー’, the students thought altogether.
“Well, you’ll know if you give it a try, but it’s unexpectedly difficult to make someone die instantly. Everybody, each one of you, possesses magic power after all. It’s a probability that doesn’t even make up to 0.1%”
“……what if we ended up being that 0.1%”
A single student muttered.
“I won’t force you; if you don’t want to, you can just go back. Thanks for coming……however, I’ve never heard of any great person who attained remarkable achievements without bearing even a 0.1% risk. Instead of the special class or whatnot, I recommend living an ordinary and mundane life for such a coward”
“”……””
Nobody responds to Hazen’s words.
“I’ll take the silence for your answer, alright? Keeping silent and tiding things over, is the conduct of a coward. Here on out, the chances of dying instantly will continue to increase. For the graduation test……I guess I shall create a test with about a 1% chance of dying. I shall give you 5 minutes. Those who want to leave this special class, leave this venue”
In response to those suffocating words, the students look at his face all the same.
・・・
5 minutes went by. Around the time when several students left.
“Well then, let’s do it, shall we”
The special lesson started
