Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia Volume 10 - Ch 3

Aine stripped off her negligee that had soaked sweat when she stood up from her bed. Her figure without a single string covering her body was exposed on the mirror, her fingertip traced the valley of her breast.

Even though her chest supposedly had a wind hole opened on it before, but now it didnt even have any scar already.

Queen Landreds poweris it.

Thinking back, she was a mysterious person. Even at Atlantis, Baldin was a country that had succeeded old legend, folklore, and ceremony all this time until now. Even knowledge of the past that had been lost from Vatlantis was surviving there.

The queen of Baldin stood at the summit of the countrys government, at the same time she was also the head priest. The queen was a person that managed various kind of divine work and should even be called as gods messenger. Perhaps the recovery magic that was performed on Aine like a miracle was also magic technology of ancient Baldin. Or perhaps it was Queen Landred that was special.

It even felt like that it was something connected to Kizunas power in some respect.

However it also looked like Landred herself wasnt that attached to the position of queen. Rather, it appeared that she felt attachment to her job as school nurse that she did at Ataraxia instead. From before she was a gentle and calm person that didnt seem like a queen, but recently it felt like she slacken down even more so than before.

Putting that asideI have to restart my training genuinely soon.

Aine sat on the floor and spread her legs still naked. Snow was falling outside, but the floor was faintly warm. That was because the magic formula carved on the floor board was giving effect like a floor heater.

Aine opened her groin widely on that floor and spread her legs with angle nearly 180 degree. Her stance was something that really couldnt be shown to other people with how all of her was exposed. And then like that she let her body fell forward. The tip of her breast touched the floor, and then she was falling further which pressed flat her whole breast. She maintained that posture for a while before she raised her body. Her breast that was clinging on the floor was slowly torn away from there. She continued that several times, and then next she twisted her body and caught the tip of her toe. Her breast was a hindrance each time she bent forward. It touched her foot, and when she dropped her body even lower, her breast shape distorted and parted to a shape that sandwiched her leg between them.

It was something that bothered even her this much, so surely Yurishia and Queen Landred had it even harder than her, Aine thought. Although, it didnt seem that Queen Landred was doing any practice.

When she stood up, this time she began flexibility exercise in standing posture.

She straightened her knees and bent forward. And then she spread her legs and twisted her upper body to left and right. Perhaps her body was still stiff because she was just awoke from sleep, it felt pleasant when she twisted her waist. When she shook her body with more force, her breast danced left and right as though it was swung around by her motion.

When she finished her flexibility exercise, next she did a handstand. It would be better if they had weight training machine, but unfortunately there wasnt even dumbbell here.

Nnku

However her breast forced back her body before she could bend her elbow.

Good grief

She repeated her motion several dozens of times even while complaining. Then next she threw herself down and began sit-ups. At that time the ring on her arm shined and flickered repeatedly.

Troublesome.

When she tapped the ring with her fingertip, a voice echoed inside her head.

Announcing to all of you noble warriors. An invasion of external enemy has been confirmed. People who received this message are assigned as soldier. Prepare to fight urgently.

Whats with this, geez

Aine stood up and pulled out a new pilot suit from the closet. It was something that she ordered from this worlds tailor, but it was surprisingly well made. At first she tried handing over her suit that had become tattered and consulted whether she could order the same thing to be made because she had nothing to lose, but unexpectedly a product that was almost exactly the same was finished. Perhaps this was also something due to a machine gods power.

If I remember right, the people of Baldin said that perhaps it was really duplicated by analyzing the original raw material I think.

The door was knocked when she was putting her foot into the new pilot suit.

Aine, you are awake?

Yes. Im in the middle of sortie preparation here.

The door was opened when she answered so and Gravel wearing a coat peeked in her face.

Are you okay?

Yes. If I dont obey the conscription, the penalty will have my ranking dropped down.

Aine sent her eye toward her bangle and confirmed her current ranking.

Rank 3624they really give no opening or negligence. When they understand that they can win without fighting, they come to challenge mercilessly arent they.

Of course they would. After all the position of ranking will change the condition of their whole lifelihood. Well, if its you Aine then you will be able to take back your ranking soon I guess.

Gravel, you are also conscripted?

Gravel smiled wryly and lifted her hand to show her blinking ring.

Aldea too. She is delighted with it.

The opponent?

I dont know. Probably it will be the magic weapon living at mountain peak area.

Monsterized wild animal and mechanical killing machine that looked like magic weapon were wandering around at the snow plain near the city. According to Baldins investigation, it seemed that the organism and mechanical weapon that were developed in the past for combat sparring partner might be moving automatically, something like that.

It seemed that they were originally developed for the sake of higher ranking, they boasted strength that couldnt be matched by lower ranking warrior. There was also rumor that perhaps these things going wild wasnt a conincidence, but Odin who was wishing for the emergence of even stronger warrior intentionally created such a situation despite the many sacrifices that resulted from it.

But there was no use thinking about such thing right now. At this rate Aine would be expelled from the apartment she was living at and driven out toward the slum that was distanced from the city center. The income that she, Gravel, and others earned was also used to provide for the livelihood of Landred and others. She had to return her ranking to before.

There is blizzard outside you know.

Looks like it. It obstruct the sight, so perhaps this is convenient for me who is a close range fighter.

Aines reply wasnt false courage or anything. If she circulated the energy that the core was generating a bit more than usual through her whole body and deployed Life Saver thinly on her body surface, then she would be able to block the cold to a certain degree.

If it was when she was going out for shopping or something else, she would wear winter outfit in order to refrain from consuming energy pointlessly, but it was a different story if it was for battle. In reality Gravel also took off the coat she was wearing and put it on the sofa before following behind Aine and exited the room.

After the two exited the apartment together, they followed the command of the ring and headed toward the outskirt of the city.

They were advancing toward the spreading snow plain at citys outskirt following the instruction. Needle-leaved trees were growing sparsely on the snow plain with forest spreading at far distance. It seemed the enemy was heading to this direction from the other side of the forest.

Two hundred warriors of Odin were forming a sloppy file to intercept the enemy while advancing inside the blizzard. Aine, Gravel, and Aldea who were equipping magic armor were also joining that troops file.

The magic armor Gravels body was equipping, Zoroshad its core reinstalled already and experienced an extensive power up. Even Aldea who was walking beside Gravel couldnt talk to her without really looking up.

The value of the new Zoros was a divinity number of 235000. It was even above Aines Zeros. But, the Corruption ArmamentSword Gatlingthat previously she could use by her own will now become unusable. It seemed that it was indispensable for the new Zoros to do Climax Hybrid, or maybe Kischarge Hybrid with Kizuna for it to be able to use its Corruption Armament.

Gravel turned around and focused her sight to the rear of the file from her high position.

However the number is too many just for exterminating wild animal and out of control magic weapon.

You are right, surely it will be a giant powerful monster that has never been seen before, or a pack with amazingly great number. Aa, Im feeling shivers just by imagining it

Aldea was in a good mood as usual.

You are really easygoing arent you.

Aldea smiled delightfully toward Aine who was replying in exasperation.

Aine just recover from your injury so dont force yourself okay? Or rather, dont take away my prey.

Yes yes, I plan to do just that. Im still not in my normal condition anyway, I intend to go through light rehabi

Aine felt some kind of presence at that time. It wasnt due to Zeross sense. It was something that was like an intuition that sensed something with Aines instinct as living thing. By coming to this world and fighting repeatedly, that kind of intuition became sensitive.

Perhaps Gravel and Aldea also felt something like her, their expression changed entirely.

And then a fierce explosion occurred at the front in the next moment.

Wha-!?

Red and orange colored light pillars were rising inside the hazy blizzard and pure white snow.

Gravel! Aldea!

Yeah!

The three immediately started to run. Right after that, the place they were standing at until just now was blown away by flame blast. The bombing flame was continuing along the troops file. The warriors of Odin were getting dispersed with screams rising out from their mouth. The people who were slightly late in reacting became prey at that place.

Thats some accurate sniping!

Yeah, to do something like that in the middle of this blizzard!

Ufufufu, it seems I can hold some expectation.

Sound of sword clashing against sword was resounding inside the blizzard while the three were running on the snow.

They are starting to fight already?

The enemys movement is fast. Also, is the opponent humanoid?

Aine stopped her feet.

Something passed through in front of her eyes. A sound that was like air being cut apart continued from behind.

Just now?

A scream of someone came from where that something was flying at. And then the sound of tree getting cutting down and collapsing roared thuderously.

Its coming back!

When Aine turned around at Aldeas yell, a sound of sharp cutting wind could be heard once more. And then it passed through the side of Aine and others.

It seems there are several of the same type.

Gravel drew out her Gunsword and loaded cartridge to the cylinder. Aldea also deployed the shield of her magic armorZeeland prepared for the enemy attack.

Aine focused her eyes on the blizzard.

Its coming.

The moment she thought that, sharp light pierced Aines body.

Kuh!

Aine!?

However Aine wasnt wounded, and she also didnt seem damaged at the outside.

Thats not physical attackoptical weapon, no magic weapon

Suddenly Aine felt strongly leaving out her body. She fell on her knee on the snow limply.

Aine! Are you okay!?

Aine turned toward Gravel that was about to rush to her and she thrust out her spreading hands.

Be careful! Its formidable!

A sharp shockwave was assaulting next. It cut apart the piling up snow and wind, becoming a sharp blade that was passing through the air. Aine and Gravel rolled to left and right and evaded that attack.

Right after they felt relieved from evading the attack, explosion occurred along the trajectory that was just got passed through.

Kyaaaa!

Uoh!?

Snow flew up like smoke along with the flame blast. It wasnt a mere shockwave, but an attack that was filled with some kind of magic power. Explosions were occurring one after another in a straight line.

Aldea!

When Gravel yelled, Aldea lined up her shields in front of Gravel. And then Gunswords muzzle was stuck out from the gap between those shields, aiming toward the direction from where the shockwave was coming from.

Bullet!

The Gunsword was also getting larger in both length and caliber matching with the enlargement of the magic armor. That muzzle spouted fire and dazzling fire opened holes in the blizzard. The bullets raised sparks, cutting apart the snow. A moment later, flame blast rose at the other side of the blizzard. And then bombardment was also attacking from the other side. Explosions roared around the three and snow and flame rained down.

Ku-!

Aine gritted her teeth while getting covered with snow.

At this ratebut, if the opponent is also using magic power.

Aine stood up and pushed her hands forward. Circle of light was spreading from her fingertips.

Code Breaker!

Aines figure changed instantly. Pink hair fluttered in the snow.

The magic power consumption in this power was minimal unlike in Lemuria. It was similar like when she were in Vatlantis, she could use Corruption Armament or Forbidden Armament.

Magic circle was surrounding around Aines body.

Large amount of beams were twisting like living thing while flying near in opposition.

HAAAAAAAAA!

The magic circle dome surrounding Aine increased in radiance. The flying beams crashed on Code Breaker and emitted dazzling light.

Eh!?

Surprisingly, the beams were tearing apart Code Breakers dome even while it was getting dissolved into letters and numerical formulas.

Its offsetting each other!?

The number of the beam the enemy launched was increasing, pushing back Aines Code Breaker.

Youuuu-!

The rotation of Code Breaker accelerated and reflected enemys beam. Aine reached out one of her hands and materialized one more magic circle. And then she grasped the weapon appearing from there.

Pulverizer. Ill fight with this!

Aine opened her thruster in full throttle. The snow under her feet got blown up as though it got hit with explosion. Pillar of snow with height that reached several meter rose up, and then Aines body flew into the blizzard as though she was shot there. Terrific acceleration G-force assaulted her whole body.

Aine was heightening the output of Code Breaker until the limit while pouring strength into Pulverizer that she was holding with both hands. She was going against the beams of the enemy that were attacking her like headwind while advancing. The light of the beams was strong, and thick. However they were being concentrated to the direction she was heading toward. It was the proof that she was nearing enemy.

HaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

A second light was shining to the limit and burst out along with terrible impact. The piled up snow was sent flying, then wind, snow, and light were whirling with Aine at the center like a sudden tornado. The warriors of Odin that seemed to be also nearby were visibly getting dragged to the sky.

A crater with depth of several meter suddenly appeared on the snow plain and exposed the frozen soil that was eternally under the snow.

At the center there was the figure of Aine and the enemy.

The muzzle of Aines Pulverizer was thrust on the enemys chest.

And then the scythe of the enemy was hung on Aines neck. The blade that could cut down that neck anytime was stopping just before it hit.

And then the finger of Aine that was hovering on Pulverizers trigger was also stopped just a millimeter before it was firing the weapon.

The two who were facing each other had their eyes opened wide in shock from seeing each others face.

Grace?

NeNee-sama?

The blade of the scythe was slowly removed away from Aines neck and it fell on the ground noisily. Pulverizer also slipped off from Aines hands.

Grace spread both her hands and leaped at Aine.

NEE-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

GRACE!

Aine caught Graces body and hugged that body strongly.

It wasnt a dream or illusion. It was the soft and warm body of her real sister.

Nee-sama-! Nee-sama! Nee-samaaaaaa!

Graces red eyes were trickling down tears unstoppably. Aines red eyes were also getting moist.

Thank you Graceyou are coming here for me arent you.

Grace was pushing her face on Aines chest while answering with a trembling voice.

Obviously! I searched for Nee-samau, until now, there was really a lot of trouble!

Aine was gently caressing Graces pink hair.

Yesthank you. Im sorry, Grace.

Grace was sniffing while shaking her head.

I, its fine, if its for Nee-samas sakethen, its nothing at all.

Are Kizuna and others together with you?

Aines chest was swelling with expectation. However Grace answered apologetically.

Nii-sama is heading to Thanatoss world right now. The students of Ataraxia, they are being kidnapped by that damned Thanatos.

I see

Aine answered looking a little bit dejected.

But, Im really happy that Grace came here. ReallyIm glad, I can meet you again.

Nee-sama

Both of them hugged each other once more.

Grace-sama!

A voice came from the other side of the vapor rising from the ground.

Zel!

Zelcyone rushed toward the twos side before she quickly kneeled.

Ainess-sama, my deepest apology for out late arrival. However

Zelcyone looked up at Aines face radiantly.

whats important above all is that you are safe.

Gravel and Aldea showed themselves from behind Aine.

Im sorry to interrupt this moving reunion, but Odins warriors will arrive soon. Now is the time if we want to escape.

Zelcyone-sama!

When Aine looked up, with Clayda as the first, the four Quartum were standing there. Clayda was yelling at them.

Enemy is coming! Are we meeting their attack?

Zelcyone stood up and spoke toward Aine.

Ill show the way to Oldium. Lets hurry.

Zelcyone turned on her heel and started to run. Aine, Grace, and then Gravel and Aldea followed behind her.

Aine, what about the others who were left behind?

Gravel referred to Queen Landred, and then the personnel who were on board Golden Dragon. Other than Gravel and Aldea, there were nearly a total of fifty personnel who were mag
