I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead Chapter 14

Maya, who had been coughing for a while after choking. After wiping her nose with a handkerchief, she started glaring at with trendous force.

“Cough… Really, stop talking nonsense. What do you an you’re going to take away a new student?”

“Ah―!! I’m just saying we’ll accept a new student at our school☆ Boo boo boo! You have so many students!! Why can’t we―☆”

“My position has diminished a lot, so I can’t cover for you even if you’re [Pink Spiral] if you cause trouble at this event. I’m being serious, so listen carefully.”

“Ahaha―☆ Tell what’s happening―☆”

“…”

Actually, I knew what was happening, but.

Maya, who heard my words, frowned her terrifying expression.

After silently sipping the energy drink in her flask for a while, she warned in a really low voice.

“Quietly receive so ice cream, and obediently return to when the event ends the day after tomorrow morning. Your alias is practically treated as non-existent among the current 3rd years in the academy city.”

“Eh―?! That’s☆ Too an―☆”

“Would they believe that a girl who briefly appeared and disappeared in 1st year was actually hiding her strength and in seclusion? Most think it was just a rumor or luck. There have been many more active achievents shown by other [Five Colors] since you went into hiding.”

“Boo―☆”

“If my words have sounded like jokes until now, take them seriously again.”

Maya’s eyes as she spoke her last words

Were more serious than any ti I had seen since 1st year.

‘Oh, just looking at her eyes, she’s no different from Yu Wen. But she won’t betray.’

Indeed, a veteran of , which does the roughest work in except for the disciplinary committee.

The pressure pouring from her eyes was not that of an ordinary person.

[Five Colors].

Five colors.

Literally, it was a term calling the current generation’s five strongest who awakened [Unique Ether], treated as the final level in the academy city.

[Lightning Lance], [Spinning Wheel], [Great Bow], [Trajectory], [Mist].

Except for Hilde who endured until the end, the mories of those who eventually fell before my challenges are still vivid.

‘In the ga, Hilde was unilaterally challenged alone, but here I mainly took on that role.’

Our generation received particularly great attention from seniors.

An unprecedented anomaly in history.

When six 1st year students awakened the final stage [Unique Ether], our grade ca to be called the ‘Golden Generation’ by many people.

As many as six [Unique Ether] ability users appeared, when even one appearing in a year would draw attention.

‘Well, for ga operation, 3rd year characters had to be released as powerful characters. It’s probably because they cramd in world-class geniuses.’

But just as a large pine tree grows majestically and the seedlings growing around it wither,

No student reached the [Unique Ether] level among the new students who enrolled after us.

And one of the ‘Golden Generation’ six gave up fighting and was eventually forgotten in the mories of those who witnessed that fight.

‘The only current 2nd year [Unique Ether] user is just hiding though.’

“…”

Although I wanted to be forgotten myself, I felt a contradictory feeling… regret that [Spiral]’s na had beco a faded page in mories.

For who was an adult, one year was like yesterday, a fleeting mont.

But for the female students living in the academy city, it was history where generations changed.

One year was long in this place where endless incidents occur even in a day.

‘Hilde too… has probably forgotten .’

If even she, whom I still consider my rival, has completely forgotten my na… sohow, sohow that seed sad.

“…”

Maya eventually seed to beco curious and casually asked .

“So who’s this new student you’re trying so hard to take away?”

“A revolutionary warrior who’s becoming a hot topic among new students―☆”

“Ah that blockhead? It’s beco that famous? Well, it’s quite sothing. What revolution or whatever, causing a ruckus in the factory by picking strange fights…”

’s last 1st year junior.

Revolutionary warrior Kara.

The junior I wanted to take away was eccentric.

-The school als are insufficient! This is the tyranny of the bourgeoisie! Revolution!

-You just don’t like bell peppers!

-To make us learn such evil studies…! Revolution!

-It’s just general knowledge! You blockhead!

-Respect the labor rights of dwarf workers!! They are our revolutionary comrades too!!

-That’s their pride in life for dwarves!!

-Aaargh!! Let go!! I just want to go to the factory and work quietly!!

The commotion Kara caused, simple venting disguised as revolution.

She loved revolution too much.

Kara was already marked by the school higher-ups just a week after enrollnt. Dozens of factory occupations and classroom riots in a week. Thanks to revolutionary activities carried out with nurous excuses, she was already in danger of expulsion.

Maya muttered while recalling the commotions Kara had caused so far.

“Hmm… Taking away that blockhead… That’s quite… Hmm… If it’s then even if she causes riots… Hmm.”

Considering Kara’s unstable position, it seed she was thinking it might not be bad for to take her away.

Maya scratched her chin, containing her surprise at the unexpected person being taken away and her question of why I wanted to take such a strange kid.

“I heard that kid is diverting materials from the factory again, trying to cause trouble by shooting so fireworks or sothing. Skadi was planning to expel her soon too. She said she’ll leave her alone until she causes trouble for the last ti.”

“…!”

I flinched hearing those words.

Because I rembered the revolutionary warrior’s lines shouted in the ga.

『Uwhahaha!! When I prepared the flas of the grand final revolution at , I even fooled the eyes of Student Council President Skadi and Facilities Engineering Departnt Head Maya… That’s what I’m saying!!』

『My revolution towards can be said to have been completed at that mont!!』

‘No, everything was completely found out.’

I pretended not to know and questioned Maya’s words.

“Fireworks?”

“She said Skadi violated the labor rights of dwarves and students by forcibly pushing this event, so when all the outside guests gather, she’ll draw attention with fireworks and inform the outside…”

“…”

The justification itself was moving.

But seeing the happy expressions of students and dwarf workers passing by on the street today… it didn’t seem like the students would sympathize with that revolution.

“…”

“…”

As we both stopped talking and were lost in thought like that,

Tap!

Maya emptied all the energy drink in the flask and lowered her legs from the tal table. Then she spoke in an even more cautious voice.

“[Spiral].”

“Why are you calling ―☆”

“Let’s check sothing.”

“What…”

Rattle!

Maya suddenly took out a large hamr from under the drawer. And she swung it rcilessly at .

Whoosh―!

The head of the approaching industrial hamr draws a semicircle as it cos.

The trajectory of the hamr swung by the head of .

It contained enough sincerity to easily destroy ordinary rebar or cent walls.

But to , the movents of Maya, an ordinary ether user in the academy city, looked slow. Moreover, I couldn’t feel any killing intent from inside.

‘Is she trying to confirm sothing again?’

As much as I’m capricious, Maya is capricious too. But she doesn’t act without reason.

Then I’ll just quietly reach out and stop it.

Thwack―!

In the ‘world of the mont’, I grabbed the slowly approaching hamr handle and deflected the impact with my shoulder’s rebound. And while holding it firmly, I took the side seat before Maya could recognize it.

Click―!

Everything happened in an instant.

If soone had been watching from the side, it would probably look like Maya suddenly stood up and we were holding the hamr together.

“…”

“…”

The mont passing.

Maya looking at while holding the hamr.

Confirming the red ether wavering in my hand.

“…As expected.”

Eventually she plops back down in her chair.

“So ‘that rumor’ was a lie intentionally spread by soone after all.”

“Hey―☆ Suddenly standing up and attacking a cute girl’s heart♡ What are you saying―☆”

“No, it’s nothing. Just so ridiculous rumors going around among so 3rd years.”

“Huh?”

“…”

Maya hesitated for a mont, then said to .

“[Spiral], if your power still exists as it is and you have no intention of rampaging noisily in the academy city in the future. I have one request.”

“Hmm~? When making a request to a girl, first―”

“It’s a request as the head of . And as an executive of ’s student council.”

“Wow―☆”

“If you just grant this, I’ll grant whatever you ask twice.”

“Why only twice―☆ Maya is so stingy―☆”

“Shut up.”

I stopped joking and listened seriously while looking into Maya’s eyes.

“Kara. I want you to take that blockhead junior and safely, disrupt Student Council President Skadi’s speech announcent happening this evening as much as possible while causing a riot. And when it’s over, I want you to quietly take her to .”

“…!”

Maya calmly recites the facts she had hesitated to reveal until now.

“If that announcent is carried out as is, will enter an all-out war with . Then it will be uncontrollable.”

Maya muttered with a bitter expression.

“Skadi and the hardliners are arrogant believing in this city’s power, but separated from the absolutely cannot endure alone. Now is the ti to bow our heads to them.”

As head of , Maya knew better than anyone about this city.

In her head, simulations of the and alliance invading the city played several tis a day.

The result was a crushing defeat.

It was obvious the slum guys wouldn’t be of help.

Maya spoke in a dejected voice.

“…I’m under Skadi’s surveillance so my movents are very restricted.”

Maya tried to personally persuade Student Council President Skadi, who was taking a hard-line stance, until the end but failed.

So she passed information containing various circumstances to the side. So that they could head to for diation.

But due to the aftermath of kidnapping incidents that had occurred for a while, the was late in grasping the information. There was no ti until the statent announcent taking place this evening.

Maya spoke in a regretful voice.

“The girls gathered here aren’t war material. They’re just oil rice eaters… Skadi is seriously mistaken. It’s not normal to join hands with those crazy slum guys.”

To prevent her juniors and alumni from heading to war, Maya passed information to the and shook them to move.

But Student Council President Skadi’s statent announcent is taking place this evening.

“They said a diator from the side has departed, but they’ll arrive at the earliest by tonight.”

There was no ti.

“Until the ’s diator arrives, help the blockhead junior’s foolish act safely succeed in causing enough chaos that the statent absolutely cannot be announced. Please, [Pink Spiral].”

“…”

I seed to understand why Maya appeared only as an ordinary quest NPC in the ga despite being a high-ranking executive of .

‘She failed there.’

Maya’s diation attempt failed in the ga, and her position diminished among the student council hardliners.

“…”

For the upcoming story, if the state of neighboring is as miserable as in the original story, the difficulty of the story my juniors will have to go through will increase much more.

‘In the end, the independent was defeated and completely absorbed into the Eastern Alliance.’

I accepted Maya’s first quest in this world to create a slightly better future.

“Okay―☆ Then shall we hear the details―☆”

* * *

I could only stand blankly holding ice cream in front of the guest dormitory I had returned to.

“Wow―☆ It’s a ss☆”

Alvit and Rota said to while restraining a suspicious person.

“Senior! You’re safe!”

“Senior Clara! You were outside? Thank goodness. I was about to report because there was a suspicious person going around near the dormitory carrying gunpowder.”

“Huaaang―!! It hurts!! It hurts, I say!! This is reactionary―!! This is not revolutionary!!”

“Be quiet!! Suspicious person!!”

Thwack―

Alvit gave a flick on the forehead to the navy blue-haired female student tied with ropes.
