I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

Before I knew it, a week had passed since that day.

The weather in the academy city was getting cooler, and the events that had unfolded caused hot repercussions.

As soon as the second semester started, news that attracted a lot of attention spreaded:

A new [Unique Ether] ability user’s awakening.

Student Council President Hilde’s defeat and injury.

Chaos insects attacking .

…And the full-fledged appearance of the prophet.

Phew, a lot happened. But most ordinary students showed an attitude of “It’s resolved, so that’s it, right?” except for the first two.

‘Actually, in terms of importance, the last one is overwhelming.’

…

Ah.

I don’t mean that our pretty cutie MBTI T Hilde getting hurt isn’t a big deal. Uh, um… I’ll take good care of my injured lover, so there’s a way to resolve that. I visit her every day.

Safe since I didn’t say it out loud.

She would definitely get upset if I said this anywhere.

“Phew—☆ This is something.”

Anyway…

What I want to say is, even though the second semester has started. The students of the academy city aren’t feeling a sense of crisis towards .

‘Well, I can understand.’

Even I, knowing that a disaster equivalent to the end of the world would come in a few months, couldn’t really feel it.

-This world is fated to perish.

“…”

Even if you know and prepare in your head.

If it doesn’t actually happen before your eyes, you don’t feel anything.

Originally, from the weakest boss [Priest of Illusion] to the strongest boss [Priest of Erosion]… they should have suffered severe damage from the priests appearing in succession.

Students rising up after overcoming pain.

Schools that had a taste of spiciness gather led by , which was always at the center of events. And they start to gravely uncover ’s conspiracy…

‘Hilde starts moving in earnest from that point…’

But it changed like a dog.

Hilde and I have now become close enough to walalalala ololololo.

Now we’ve become close enough to even bathe together without reservations.

Safe since I properly displayed the logo 【All characters appearing in this scene are over 19 years old.】

The bathroom of a rich house was certainly nice and spacious.

The echoing sound was perfect for vocal practice.

Does that mean we’re neglecting preparation to practice school idol dances together? …Not particularly.

There really wasn’t much to do physically.

‘Actually, preparations against priests have been done since the beginning of the story, so things are just rolling along well on their own.’

In the changed reality, each school was receiving information and preparing on their own. There were no students falling for the priests’ wicked schemes at all.

The juniors set off on an auto-hunt for the final treasure of the [Three Heroes] amidst their peaceful schedule. Now, the force to stop them had to be at least Five Colors level even within the academy city.

And Kara still didn’t know the last treasure was her weapon.

‘Is she dumb, or is she just excessively humble…’

Honestly, it’s the ‘flag’ of [Rider of Rebellion].

She still can’t match that?

Isn’t it about time for him to go ‘Oh? Is it me now?’

…

Still, since the kid is nice, I could forgive her generously.

Setting aside the prophet’s grave vow, since wasn’t showing any particular movement. Our schedule was going like that.

‘Maybe the action plan changed because the prophet isn’t the type of strategist to unfold such stinky schemes, but rather an unmanly mastermind style that safely controls from behind.’

The prophet’s scheme became a mystery again.

People with such stinky intentions live tiresome lives.

Pink airhead surprise worship.

As expected, people should live honestly.

People living with stinky inner thoughts don’t last long.

That’s not what’s important. The news mentioned earlier… the appearance of a new [Unique Ether] ability user became quite a hot topic even within the academy city.

That’s why we were contemplating.

First year.

Resolving major troubles since the start of the semester.

Friendly with many seniors from large schools.

Such ideal qualities for an armband.

How can we use Alvit well as the next leader of the academy city?

I was personally visiting my friends with [Bifrost] to ask about that concern.

* * *

Under the vast blue sky.

The northern wilderness was still blowing strong winds.

Sizzle—!

The smell of grilling meat was echoing over the wilderness. Eir answered indifferently while creating a small fire wheel above her hand.

“…So you want to know how to make your brat into a leader, right?”

“Hey, brat—☆”

“Well, the way to raise juniors is obvious. Want some meat?”

“Wow~☆ I want some!”

“…Here.”

Sizzle—

She scooped out a piece of well-done meat and moved it, then put another piece of raw meat on her hand and grilled it with the fire wheel.

The raw meat was dancing and cooking on the crimson ether.

“Om nom nom—☆”

The properly seasoned grilled meat was delicious.

The spicy spices popping in the sweet sauce appropriately masked the gamey smell of the meat. It tasted like I could devour it with just a bowl of rice.

Happy because I ate something delicious☆

Bad memories, all go away~♪

Eir glanced at me and said while holding the meat dancing like a ballerina in the crimson ether:

“Want another piece?”

“Wow—♪ Meat—☆”

“Here.”

“Om nom nom—☆”

Delicious! The best—☆

Eating delicious things makes you happy!

“…”

What was I thinking about?

Oh right, right.

Alvit armband cultivation plan.

Maybe as the price for awakening [Bifrost], I’ve become very forgetful lately. I often drift off topic like this.

It seems strong power is indeed followed by strong consequences.

I barely recalled the topic and brought it up again.

“So~ Tell me how to raise juniors—☆”

“For raising brats, I wonder if there’s anything better than this in the academy city.”

Eir pointed at the spine-shaped sword placed beside her while sitting awkwardly. It was a peculiar sword no matter how you looked at it.

‘In the game it was an item drawn from limited gacha with probability manipulation controversy, but here she had it from the beginning.’

Weapon of fate.

Some students had particularly unique weapons or talents as if it was natural.

As if they were born to fight.

And through fighting, they realize the name of [Fate] connected to that weapon.

Weapon.

Fight.

Battle.

These were what students living in the academy city fundamentally longed for. They too lived as if born to fight.

Eir seemed to be saying that.

“Heh—☆ Come to think of it, the combat festival is coming up soon…”

“Hmm, I’m thinking of participating too…”

“…Thinking?”

“…[Spiral], are you thinking of participating too?”

“Umm…”

I unexpectedly couldn’t open my mouth easily.

An uninteresting situation.

Hilde, who was the strongest among us until recently, was injured, and on top of that, had her weapon of fate destroyed by the prophet.

‘Even if she participates in the combat festival, it probably won’t be the kind of appearance we’re expecting.’

If Hilde forcibly participates like that, or gives up and forfeits…

“…”

Honestly, I had no match now.

‘There are 2nd year powerhouses like Bell or Sieglinde, the Black Knight… but those kids aren’t our level…’

Even among the Five Colors of the same level, the ability I awakened breaks all balance.

Rainbow-colored vision that observes the near future within minutes.

[Bifrost] that can look into and move anywhere in the academy city.

Putting these two abilities into one-on-one battles was honestly unbalanced.

Since it’s such an unprecedented ether skill, there were still many kids who didn’t know well…

But I didn’t want to butt in and cause trouble where kids are playing.

“…It’ll probably be difficult.”

“…”

The battle-loving Eir would be angry.

But Student Council President Eir seemed to understand.

Fights are meaningful only when fought between those of similar levels.

And Eir knew too well that her current self couldn’t beat me.

“I see. The fight of our generation… ends like this.”

“It’s not the end—☆ We can meet again after graduation~☆”

“Anyway, it’s the same that there won’t be a chance for the Five Colors of the ‘golden generation’ to compete in the academy city.”

“…That’s true.”

Eir said that while chewing the meat.

“Well, it wasn’t bad. Thanks to that, I had a new sense of purpose… Thanks to you guys, school life wasn’t too bad.”

“…I see.”

We grilled and ate meat under the blue sky.

I said goodbye to Eir and rode [Bifrost] to the library of .

A rainbow spiral enveloped my body, and I instantly entered the inside of the library where research-oriented kids were passing by. Outside was still noisy with reconstruction work sounds.

Even inside the library was full of animal sounds. Animals like cats, dogs, foxes, and mice were shining in various colors and moving around.

-Meow—!

-Woof, woof!

-Awoo—

-Squeak squeak!

“…”

All kinds of summoned creatures carrying luggage on their backs bringing books or food, or busily moving around with letters in their mouths.

In that, I headed to Freya’s personal study room like a cockroach. The gloomiest place located at the very end of a dark corridor.

Creak—

Amidst books scattered everywhere.

A purple-haired girl was sleeping face down in a shabby one-piece pajama. It was a posture she would regret once she turned 25.

The sun was high in the sky, yet she was still sleeping in that posture…

“…Snore. Cough. Haah…”

…Well, isn’t it normal to sleep a lot at that age?

“Huhu, sleep well☆”

I looked at the sleeping Freya fondly, then took out some delicious snacks from her drawer and ate them. The snacks from this neighborhood were still excellent.

“As expected, sweet snacks after eating meat—☆ Don’t you think so too?”

“Crunch, munch… Sniff… Cough…”

“Yes♪ I ate well! See you later!”

“Kuuu…”

I said goodbye to Freya, packed a few more snacks, and left the library with [Bifrost].

Back to .

Getting delicious things by entering friends’ rooms like this… I regretted that even such memories of the academy city didn’t have much time left.

‘I wonder if someone from the Five Colors will win the combat festival in the end…’

Eir.

Freya.

Astrid.

Anna.

And Helina, the hidden powerhouse of .

It wouldn’t be surprising whoever wins among them.

A few days later.

Student Council President Brunhilde declared in front of numerous press department students:

“I am retiring as president of the due to injury.”

“…”

“And I intend to decide the next president not by someone from … but solely by force.”

“…No way.”

Hilde nodded.

“I intend to pass on the student council presidency of the to the winner of the next combat festival.”

“…”

“This is a matter agreed upon within as well.”

“…”

The press conference spread quickly.

And Clara was shocked when she heard the news a few minutes later.
