Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia Volume 9 - Ch 2

Well, because of that the mysterious phenomenon called AU Collision happened I guess.

On the teaching stand of second year first groups classroom, Sakisaka-sensei was carrying out her teaching with no motivation just like usual.

But throughout the world there are people with smart heads, yeah. They invented technology to predict the generation of an Entrance due to the collision with AU, and the AU collision prediction that everyone knows well was created. And, they then also talked about the training of personnel for exterminating the magic weapons that appeared from the Entrances, and so, that became the beginning of this Ataraxia academy.

A hand was raised at the center of the classroom. It was the class president Hyakurath. Kizunas seat was near the window at the back, so from diagonally behind he could slightly see the frowning expression of Hyakurath.

Excuse me, senseiI think the way to use the word beginning is slightly different though. (TN: The wording that the teacher used in the raw is used to talk about the beginning of love, its unusual to use it to talk about the beginning of a school.)

[Its fiine, its fiine, geez, Hyakurath-chan is really sensitive. Something like words change in its use along with the era anyway.]

All the students in the class thought, Is that something a teacher would say? In the first place, there is no one other than you who uses that word in that kind of way.

For example, the AU collision prediction for todaywhat is it again..eee, then, Himekawa-chan.

It was unclear whether she forgot or she didnt even check the prediction in the first place. But in any case she was stumped so she looked for help from a student. Himekawa stood up while feeling that the teachers attitude was problematic.

During the afternoon, there is a possibility of a collision occurring at Megafloat Japans Tokyo. The occurrence probability is 70%. The scale is medium size.

Ooo, I see, I see. And, who is on duty today?

Diagonally in front of Kizuna, Grace raised her hand energetically. Originally, she was a first year, but because her marks were exceedingly excellent, she skipped grades and was admitted into the second year first group.

Its us of the Vatlantis team. Because we are on duty, there is no need for worry at all. Everyone, you can all spend your day with peace of mind.

This time a voice came from the side that was near the corridor.

Sorry but, can you let our Izgard team participate too?

It was Izgards leader, Gravel.

I dont mind butwasnt your team on duty yesterday too? Is it fine for your team to not rest?

Gravel brushed up her blond hair and made a bitter face.

Right now there is someone who is being noisy asking to be allowed to fight

A green haired girl crossed at the back of Graces mind.

Aahlooks like you too have your own difficulty.

Speaking of before, Aldea was originally a member of the Vatlantis team. However her behavior was just too bad that she was expelled from the team, and then she was picked up by Gravel.

Then, I too cannot pretend to not see your difficulty.

Gravel made a wry smile.

My thanks.

Amaterasu, Masters, Vatlantis, Izgard. The AU collision was dealt with with the rotation of these four teams.

Aldea was a pure battle fanatic, but among the other group there were also people who defeated magic weapons aiming for the reward money. Leila of Masters was the representative example of that type. Of course, naturally, there were also people who fought with the objective of protecting the students and Megafloat Japan. However, no matter what their reasons were, as long as they were fighting then magic power resupply and power up were imperative.

That was to say, there was necessity for Kizuna to do Heart Hybrid with all the magic knights.

Kizuna took out his information terminal and confirmed his own schedule.

So after school today, it will be with Hyakurath.

Quite a formidable opponent huh, Kizuna murmured inside his heart.

When the class of that day was over, Kizuna headed toward Hyakuraths seat.

Do you have a bit of time?

When Kizuna called out like that, Hyakuraths back twitched and her body jumped. However, she didnt move away and stiffened still.

Hyakurath?

Was it just his imagination that sweat was trickling down her neck? Kizuna reached out his hand towards her shoulder. And then just before his hand touched, Hyakuraths body quickly evaded and stood up from her seat. And then without pause she was rushing out of the classroom.

Ah! Wait!

Kizuna also chased after her.

This was Hyakurath whose motor nerves were outstanding. It would be difficult to chase after her if she escaped in seriousness. But, this place was inside the school building. There wasnt any problem at all. The reason was,

Kizuna ran and without any difficulty he caught up with Hyakurath who was escaping by walking fast just shy of a slow jog.

Wait a bit, Hyakurath.

[Wharunning in the corridor! Thats a violation of school rule!]

My bad about thatbut, this is about something more important than that.

The school rule is the law of the people doing their activity here. The same like military rule, its something that has to be adhered to. Just what in the world is this thing that is more important than that?

Its you, Hyakurath.

Yeyes?

After making that stupid sounding reply, her face went so red it felt like there was a poof sound.

Wha, wha wha wha wha what are you running your mouth about!?

Last time you also neglected doing Heart Hybrid right? Hyakuraths remaining magic power is already too little. If you dont do Heart Hybrid with me after this, then you have to refrain from sallying out tonight.

But

This was Hyakurath whose sense of responsibility was strong. She must have reluctance of being the only one refraining from sallying out. But doing Heart Hybrid with Kizuna was a higher hurdle for her. With how serious and strict she was, it was very hard for her to surpass that obstacle.

What are you doing?

A voice came from behind Kizuna.

When Kizuna turned around, a girl with reddish hair was standing there.

Mercuria

She was Hyakuraths childhood friend and also best friend. There was also some rumor that they were lovers. Mercuria was glaring at Kizuna with a grim face. She approached him with fluttering hair.

Mer! Dont!

Mercuria stopped just a step away from Kizuna because of Hyakuraths pleading. And then she sent Kizuna a look that could kill before she passed through his side and grasped Hyakuraths arm.

Lets go Hyakurath.

But

Mercuria forcefully pulled Hyakuraths arm and walked through the corridor.

Were you forcefully asked to do Heart Hybrid?

We were, only started talking.

I see.

They turned at the corner and came to a stop under the stair where there was no presence of people. And then Mercuria turned around and stared at Hyakurath.

Dont force yourself. Ill protect Hyakurath.

ButI also get what Hida-kun is talking about. Im actually the one in the wrongbecause, Hida-kun was only carrying out his duty. Besides, he was worried about me

Mercuria was getting increasingly irritated while hearing those words of Hyakurath.

There is no need to defend that guy at all. Hyakurathyou are fine as you are now.

There was a figure staring at such a scene of the two from behind a cover. It was a figure with a small stature like a little girl, sticking out their head from the stairs above to peer below.

Hahaa, so those are the two who still havent done Heart Hybrid with Kizuna.

Yeah. Mercuria still has reserve energy, but it will be dangerous for Hyakurath soon.

They were the board chairman of this academy, Hida Nayuta, and the headmaster, Hida Reiri.

Nayuta often led Reiri around under the pretext of inspection.

Kizuna also seems to be at a loss huh. Perhaps it will be better to say it clearly to the person herself soon.

Seeing Reiris strict words, Nayuta smiled with her fan pressed on her mouth.

Now now, lets wait and see a bit more. Tonight too, it seems an AU collision will happen at a nice timing anyway.

It will be great if she wont run out of magic power in the middle of battle though.

After saying that and sighing, the two left that place.

The bright moon was illuminating the sea. A dark shadow was floating at the sparkling sea of night. A giant silhouette of an island looked like a part of the starry sky was cut apart to leave behind a black hole. That was a super large floating offshore structure, megafloat Japan.

In order to deal with the AU collision that was predicted to happen, Vatlantis team was gathering in the sky above Tokyo float.

Grace and the student council president Zelcyone. In addition was the four student council members Clayda, Elma, Lunorlla, and Ramza. Also Hyakurath and Mercuria.

Tonight Aldea and Gravel from Izgard team were also present for further assistances.

There should be Vardy too in the Vatlantis team, but in realite she was turned into the bodyguard of Reiri, so she wasnt here. By the way it wasnt actually her duty, but something that Valdy done by her own initiative.

But there Grace found one more silhouette of a person arriving and Grace raised her voice energetically.

Mu? Oo, isnt that Nii-sama! Just what is the matter?

With a smiling face that was a mix of surprise and joy, Grace welcomed Kizuna who arrived with his body wearing the magic armor Eros.

I just want to observe a bit. Its okay right?

Right! I greatly welcome it. Its fine isnt it, Zel?

The student council president Zelcyone glared fiercely at Kizuna. She was an upper classman, so Kizuna felt a bit nervous. He once more thought that Grace who was always talking to Zelcyone without any tension was amazing.

Honestly speaking, Zelcyone far older than just being an upper classman. If he misspoke then it felt like she could even pass as a married woman. But, there was a persistent rumor that anyone who said something like that would be consigned to oblivion from darkness to darkness, so Kizuna didnt even breath a word of his thought. Or rather, there was also a rumor that the student council president could read mind, so he desperately tried to blur his thought by recalling the content of his dinner.

Perhaps doing that had some effect, because Zelcyones glare loosened and she said to Kizuna.

Well, Ill allow it if he doesnt become a hindrance.

Thank you very much.

His heart wasnt read or his mind brainwashed. Kizuna expressed his gratitude with a sigh of relieve and lowered his head.

The current leader of Vatlantis team was Grace, but before this Zelcyone was the one who served in that position. She saw through Graces genius and wasted no time to make her succeed the position, but her influence on the team was still going strong.

Now then

Kizuna peeked at the state of Hyakurath that was his purpose. She was moving away from Kizuna and beside her Mercuria was standing by as though to protect her. Even though Kizuna wasnt causing any particular harm, yet he was sent a glare that looked threatening. Kizuna raised his hand with a wry smile and made his greeting.

At that time, Gravel yelled sharply.

Its coming!

The sky split and fissures ran through the space where there was nothing.

In front of Tokyo station that was dismantled from mainland Japan and rebuilt here, a mysteriously shining rift appeared.

AU collision.

A rift in space that was produced from the collision between another universe with this universe. From the Entrance that was created from the collision, invading weapon Magic Weapon that resembled something from another world showed their face.

Mechanical machine that was nearly ten meter tall Bluehead, and then the winged Albatros, they appeared one after another. Furthermore there was the hardly armored Viking army. From behind them, category A magic weapon Dragre whose form was a fusion of dragon and knight appeared.

Zelcyone clicked his tongue and yelled toward everyone.

Their number is many! Disperse with two people forming a group! I and Grace will take care of the Dragre.

Clayda headed toward the Albatros force with Selene in hand.

We are going, Elma!

I understand!

Elma materialized a huge hammer and chased after Clayda with her white hair fluttering.

The red haired Ramza faced Lunorlla and smiled brightly.

Then, we are going for the Viking! They look strong, so lets go carefully!

Ramza materialized her weapon that was a large tomahawk and gripped it with her hand. Lunorlla unsheathed her short swords and stared at Ramza.

Yes. But, was the Viking really that strong?

Eh?

Ramza tilted her head and peered into her close friends face.

They are strong you know! Arent everyone went through trouble because of them? Besides, you said wassaying it like that sounded like they were weak before this.

Yesthats right. Sorry, I said something strange.

You are okay already?

Lunorlla smiled faintly toward the brightly smiling Ramza.

Lets go, Ramza.

Yup!

Lunorrla and Ramza went toward the Viking army.

Kizuna was staring at their action from a slightly distant spot.

I wonder if Hyakurath and Mercuria are fine

Mercuria was protecting Hyakurath from behind while conducting support fire from long range with her favorite bow, Arc Drive in her hands.

Although Hyakurath was readying her sword, but she couldnt participate in the battle at all. It could also be perceived that Hyakurath herself was hesitating. It seemed Mercuria was intending to protect Hyakurath to the end without letting her fighting.

Vatlantis team also had a lot of members, so even like that they might be able to endure through this.

A laughing voice in high tension could be heard from the communication floating window.

Ahahahahahahahaha lovely! Aa, sheesh! Im killing them rapidly here!

Aldea was assaulting Bluehead that was advancing through between the buildings of the business district.

Aldea! Leave the bunches that came out to the city to Vatlantis! We are holding back the bunches appearing from the Entrance!

Certainly taking control of the gateway would be effective. The Entrance wasnt that big. At best the Magic Weapon could only materialize from there by two at the same time. In that case with Gravel and Aldea, they would be able to defeat the majority of the enemy the moment they showed up into this world.

Like that then certainly Mercurias tactic might work. But, even if they weathered the battle today, what would they do at the next battle?

When Kizuna was thinking, at the faraway place, the space split at the edge of megafloat Japan.

Dont tell me!?

At the tip of megafloat Japan, around Hokkaido float an entrance manifested. From that rift, Blueheads and Albatrosses were being spat out successively. Kizuna faced his communication window and yelled.

Everyone! A new Entrance broke out at Hokkaido district!

What!?

Continuing after Graces flustered voice, Zelcyones calm voice responded.

Hyakurath, Mercuria. You two deal with that.

Ye, yes.

Bu, butpresident

Whats wrong? Is there any problem, Mercuria?

Noroger.

Actually Mercuria not only needed to deal with the enemy by herself, but she was required to do it while protecting Hyakurath. That was something far harder than just fighting alone.

Kizuna stared at the back of the two who were heading toward the new Entrance and made a grim face.

Should I ask for reinforcement? But, even if they scramble in a hurry, will they make it in time?

Haai, Kizuna! Do you need help I wonder?

A window suddenly opened and a red haired girl was reflected in it.

Scarlet!

When he turned around, Masters that was led by Scarlet was heading his way.

Yeah, its a big help! Please take care of Hokkaido district!

In a moment Masters arrived beside Kizuna and they looked over the battle situation. Henrietta corrected her glassess position while staring at the newly appeared Entrance.

I see, that way look lacking in manpower.

Uhihi, there is a lot of easy mark Lets start earning a lot.

I can press the trigger! Kufufufu

Leila and Clementine made a questionable smile and they looked like they were going to rush out anytime. Shannon and Brigit were checking their guns operation.

Gertrude withdrew out her two particle handguns and moved her body in a warm-up. She moved her hands quickly like in a hand-to-hand fighting skill, showing a gesture as though as though she was sniping unseen enemy.

Magic weapon Brigand that had the same size like human appeared in large number from the Entrance near Hokkaido. Kizuna stared at Gertrude and grinned.

With your quick draw Gertrude, you are really good in consecutive shooting at melee. This is really ideal for you.

Leave it to me. Ill take care of all the damn Brigands.

Then, everyone we are going! Lets show them the power of Masters!

When Scarlet gave that order, Masters jetted their thrusters and headed toward Hokkaido district.

If Masters go there, it might be okay

As though to mock Kizuna who was relieved like that, the sky of Kyushu district shook.

Whaimpossible!?

An Entrance with the biggest size until now appeared.

Just whats the deal with tonight!? There isnt anything in the report about so many appearances like this!

Dragre showed up its face from Kyushu float. Not just one, but they kept appearing in succession.

These guysthey are bad news.

When Kizuna whispered that, a familiar voice could be heard from the communication window.

What is bad news I wonder?

Aine!?

Beside Kizuna who turned around, a white meteor passed through him.

!?

That light flew toward the Dragers that just appeared.

Aine! Dont be reckless!

Im fine. We are going for her support.

Kizunas shoulder was tapped to reassure him. There he saw the gentle smile of Himekawa.

Since when

Kizuna-kun went out by yourself, so we were worried. And so, everyone too

Hayuru, Im going as back up, so take care of the cutting apart role okay.

A window opened and it projected the relaxed smile of Yurishia.

Kizuna, from here on properly call out to me okay

Saying that, she winked.

Thanks Yurishia, everyonebut, you all really noticed my going out huh.

Both of them twitched and they averted their eyes.

Tha, thatsjust by chance.

Right right, its a coincidence see. A coi
