Kuzu Inou【Ondo Wo Kaeru Mono】 No Ore Ga Musou Suru Made - Chapter 103 War in the Forest 4

103 War in the Forest 4

Heave-ho, fortifying~! Attach Clay!

When we reached the place, Tsuchitori-san started to build a clay fort according to Major Kirishimas instruction. Clay walls enclosed around with the small hill at the center, and there was a deep trench dug at the outer circ.u.mference.
Just like that, the clay fort that was made impromptu, appeared at where we are.
This is just a temporary peace of mind against that army of Variants, but it is better than nothing.
This territory with the diameter of 10 meters, is our fortress right now.

Merisenseiare you okay?
Yes, I am fine now. I am sorry to make you worry, Kagursan

Kagursan has been worried of me since a while ago, so she stayed by my side the whole time. I think I am a failure as a teacher after showing such unbecoming figure in front of the students.

But I am okay now. My body can move and I can think properly.
I still feel scared, but not to the extent of getting crushed by it.

Thank you, Kagursan Thanks to you, I calmed down. Please go standby with Shiro and the rest because you are an important relief member
Okaybut please dont overdo yourself, okay?

Saying that, Kagursan walked to the center where Shiro and Tarou are.
The number of people gathered at this small hill is 12 people.
4 from Yumino-sans Sniping team and 3 from Tsuchitori-sans Defense team. Non-combatants are Shiro, Kagursan and Tarou. And there are also Major Kirishima and myself.

Since a while ago, Major Kirishima has been grasping the overall situation from the communication device (Income), and using it to give instructions to the students.

Hik.a.w.kun, once you finish stopping the enemies, return to the base. Kurasaki-kun and Yomohirsan, retreat slowly so that you wont get surrounded. Akai-kun and Serizawkun, continue to hold out for a little longer

Ah, understood
Eh? Seriously?

The reason why the students can move calmly without being fl.u.s.tered is because of her.
The gifted lady who controls the battlefield, Kirishima Satsuki.
Gaining trust from comrades and even superiors with her outstanding fighting strength and leadership, she was promoted to Major at the age of 22in her fourth year in the army. Called as a genius at constructing the war, and trusted by her superiors.
Her alias Black Haired War Maiden (Valkyrie) is not for show. Even in this tight situation, her instructions are precise, and the war situation is moving slowly.

I am really glad that she is here.
In this state of emergency and also this situation with only inexperienced students, it is usually impossible to set up a combat att.i.tude this smoothly. Because she is here, this command system is created.

I need to thank her.
Thanks to her, I can devote to my thoughts.

I use my head, and think.
That is the only thing I can do right now.
There are too many strange things in this attack. I need to grasp the essence of it as fast as possible.

Looks like I need to sort out the situation first

Since a while ago, I have been contacting the Teihen High Schools staffs. However, no one answered. Even the emergency communication portal that is always connected to Deltsensei is not working at all. I also cant contact Otou-san.

There is clearly a signal jamming. I cant help but to think that this attack is planned carefully. For now, I will set aside my error of not being able to realized it.

But this training camp itself was not decided relatively early.
It was just a few days ago when I requested an instructor from the army.
But those Variants are surely prepared from a long time ago.
How much have they prepared for this attack?
How far did the enemy a.s.sume the situation?
Who is the target? Serizawkun? Kagursan? Major Kirishima?

Nonot good, I need to calm down.
I dont know exactly how far did the opponent plan this attack.

But I am clearly feeling something is wrong. What is this?
If they want to crush us, thenthey should be able to do it.
Because they can prepare that much of Variants.
Rather, it is probably more efficient to make that army appear all at once at a point-blank range.
Why they didnt do it?
Is there a reason why they cant?
They cant get close to us?
Or they thought that they cant achieve the aim?

There are too many doubts. Too much.
I dont have the time to shut down the possibilities one by one right now.
For now, I should think about the things happening now.

That is right.
It is easier to understand if I think from there.
That army of Variants appeared suddenly means that the people who generated them are at the same place. It is better to think that the people who generated those, are still at somewhere close.
Then, that army is certainly a diversion.
It is better to think that it is the groundwork to separate us, and there is a different target.

But I dont understand their aim.
What does the enemy want? Someone specific? Is there a meaning to this situation?

No
Wait.
Dont panic.
Lets sort the root first.

The a.s.sailant this time is Haba Ryuuichi.
Or someone similar to him. That should be right.
There is no one who can prepare that much of Variants other than him.

Then hewhat do they want?
What they want the most?
What they think is the most troublesome?

That is right.
That is most likely at here.
ThenI know that.

I see.
So that is the reason.

ThenI might be able to draw out their information using that.
Now is the best timing to turn this situation.

When I made up my mind, I requested Major Kirishima to change the position of a student.

Major Kirishimacan you send Kurasaki-kun to here?

I think it is a sudden and strange request from myself, butshe didnt question me.
I thought she would clearly want an explanation, but she only said this with a smile.

FufuI understand, Merisensei. I will change his position right away!

Yomohira Miriya and Kurasaki Yuuki were exterminating the Variants steadily. However, it still doesnt change the fact that it is overwhelmingly unfavorable to them. They had no choice but to fight while retreating slowly.

FuhiGeting tiredYomohirsan?
Not at allstill fine

Saying that, Yomohira pretended to be tough, but compared to the start to the combat, her movement is not sharp anymore. She is clearly showing signs of fatigue.
Kurasaki who guessed her condition since a while ago, covers her properly while controlling the battle.
Then, there is a call from the Income from Kirishima Satsuki.

An update to the command. Hik.a.w.kun, switch places with Kurasaki-kun. Kurasaki-kun, when you meet up with Hik.a.w.kun, come back to the base. Yomohirsan, hold out that place with Hik.a.w.kun

Understood
FuhiRo~ge~r
Roger

Just like that, Yomohira and Kurasaki stayed on the spot while defeating the Variants, and shortly after that, Hikawa Takeru reached them. The next moment, the Variants around were frozen by Hikawas Talent Cold Maker.

YoIm here, Kurasaki-kun. We are switching, right?
FuhiI leave the rest to youHikawacover her properly

Kurasaki said only that to Hikawa, and quickly head to the base while riding the waving shadow.

Sowhat should I do here? Should I protect you?

Hikawa looked around the Variants that were frozen, and asked Yomohira. While exhaling white breaths, Yomohira answers her next partners question.

Make puppetsice puppets
Ah, I see. How many do you want?
30about the size of Hik.a.w.kun
Thats a lot. Understood. Ice Armor

Just like that, Hikawa created 30 delicate ice puppets in a blink of an eye with his Talent. The puppets look like armored knights with sword and shield.

How is this? I gave them some equipments
OK, good jobManipulate

The Ice Knights start to move by Yomohiras Talent, and form units.
5 in one platoon. A total of 6 platoons.
Each platoons charge to the crowd of Variants.

Aha! Thats incredible. How do you do that?
Dont talk to me. Because I am concentrating right now

The Ice Knights composed of 30 knights, chop the Variants with their swords, and at the end, cut the cores accurately.
The Variant strikes back, but it was blocked by the knights shield, and directly after blocking, the other knights stabs their swords into the Variant. Just like that, after it stopped moving, they cut the Variants behind it into small pieces.
The Ice Knights divided into 6 platoons, are lead without being disordered, and they exterminate the Variants one after another.
Hikawa Takeru looks at Yomohira who are controlling them alone.

YouWas it Yomohirsan? You are really interesting
Stop the idle talk and fight6 of them are down, so please resupply
Ah, I will resupply as much as you want, so use it however you like. I will leave the stock here

Saying that, Hikawa Takeru creates a large amount of armored ice knights, and charges to the crowd of Variants delightfully.
