A Slave's Story Also Has Hope In It

Chapter 30: The enemy of the north

It had been a month since Ness had joined our ragtag group. It had been a super normal day... i woke up with my normal scenery. So tell me... why the fuck am i seeing fire all round?

I got to the girls' room. It was my first priority! Not only where Kyouko and Sariel there, Okami and Luna also were at those rooms. I would also check on Ness and Toga, but i never actually got their rooms. No number, nor a entry. Perhaps they were weirded out by a boy coming in, or something else. But i already evecuated Toshin, whom was sleeping, with magic. 

I saved the girls easily aswell. I was soon enough due to the sheer speed i had. So they were all save, and i got to the outside of the building to see what the hell had happened. The last thing i did was put a small barrier up just in case. It was amongst my fortigue, though i only learned up to saint. Ofcourse i did, i really didn't learn more from the book.  I made 4 big explosions with magic. Mainly focused on the boom. So they should all be awake and evecuate. And those that don't, well i need to find out whom did this so as not to have a second problem on our hands. 

On the outside, it was pretty obvious whom had done this. There was a group of 40 people, hooded and cloaked. I rushed to them

"What have you done!"

"We are advocates of justice..."

I heard clashing of swords. Teachers were fighting with one individual, but they didn't have battle knowledge besides strategies rammed in their head. So they didn't stant a chance. I simply chained all of the people with eart magic and told them

"I will deal with you later!"

They were basically with theyre full bodies against the ground.

"Try pulling something and youre dead... untill i deal with all of you later"

I rushed to the man. He seemed like he was the leader, since he actually held some battle prowess. The rest just seemed like a ragtag of random villagers. Though i can't really tell. One of them might be a mage... my barier wouldn't really break easily and would be maintained for about half an hour. That is all the time i need to resolve this matter

I gave the man one strong slash with one sword. A sword strike that made a slash on the mans very sword. 

"Oho... and who are you?"

"Doesn't matter... i will end you anyway"

"Ah... but you are just a kid!"

"Take that to the grave..!"

I slashed the mans sword on the same spot that was slit for a bit. 

"Quite skilled huh..? but i don't like this!"

He slid my sword against his. Wich changed the point that i held my sword against his. Wich meant that i didn't break his sword. But he pushed me away.

"You rich people always get good gear! Isn't that unfair..? Well, i am the advocate of justice. I will bring judgement on those fucking nobbles..!"

"Huh... so you might be strong huh? A good test subject for my new techniques!"

I started walking around

"Listen closely.... snake technique: Poisonous masquarade!"

I walked around in a certain tempo. At first, it didn't really have any effect. But i started knowing it worked since he started looking shocked

"Awh... can't fight against illusions..? There are just 12 of me!"

A technique i had learned together with Sylph. I studied sound for this very purpose. Finding out about the human ear and sounds proved dificult but worth it when it started to bear fruit on Sylph. She heard the sound and reported multiple me's circling around her. It takes some setting up, but by throwing magic at the opponent so they can't intervene is helpfull.
