TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 15
Anri
Var. She is the teacher of the 10th class 3rd year where Nozomu and his party
members belong and is an irreplaceable benefactor to Nozomu. Without her,
Nozomu would be completely isolated at school. To Nozomu, she was as important
as Shino.
She
stood in front of them. She was smiling brightly as usual, but Nozomu couldn't
stop the cold sweat running down his back.
Anri
just says that she is the special target. Then she is now the enemy of Nozomu's
party.
In
fact, a pendant that became proof that she was one of the training
participants, hung on her chest.
(Nozomu-kun
...)
(Don't
move. If we move poorly, we'll be done for...)
Nozomu
felt chills and never stopped, he felt Anri's fighting spirit hidden in the
shadows of her usual smile. But at the same time, he couldn't make a rash move
because he didn't know what kind of hand she would use. Nozomu's party always
saw her overseeing their lessons but never saw her actually fighting.
"...
Did Anri-sensei know we're here?"
"Hmm~,
it's not like that~. It's my job to take a walk through various places. Of
course, even though I'm walking around, I still do my job properly."
She
took out the pendants of the students she has defeated from her pocket. The
number was at least 20 or more. She still spoke in a slow-paced voice, but
looking around her, there was no one by her side to help her. Nevertheless, she
has defeated more than 20 students.
Jin
and his friends were terrified by that fact. Despite their efforts and somehow
being able to defeat five opponents, she was alone, defeating more than four
times as many opponents.
"...Are
we also the target of Anri-sensei's subjugation?"
"...
Yup, that's going to happen. But, I'll try not to hurt you as much as
possible... Sorry~."
Anri
looked apologetic. But she said she would do what she had to do.
After
confirming that fact, Nozomu immediately decided on their next course of
action.
"Jin!
Deck! Hamria! We're running away!!"
Nozomu
took out a Smoke Ball and a [Twin Stone of Tragic Fate] from his pocket and
threw them on the ground. Smoke spread out in the blink of an eye and concealed
the appearance of Nozomu's party and the [Twin Stones of Tragic Fate] that were
rolling on the ground glowed red.
Nozomu's
party had exhausted the traps they had set in the forest in the previous
battle. Furthermore, as long as they faced their opponent in a state of being
discovered, if they fought now, it would inevitably be a head-to-head
confrontation.
Nozomu
had no idea how Anri had defeated more than 20 students, but after all, it
seemed to be suicidal if they faced their superior opponent head-on. Besides,
he wasn't the only enemy in the forest. At least they should last until the end
of the day.
"Hurry
up, you three!"
"I
get it!"
"Y-yes!"
"Okay!"
Nozomu
and his party members tried to keep their distance in an instant, but at that
moment, Nozomu's ears heard a wind noise approaching.
"
!! "
Nozomu
had an unpleasant premonition about the wind noise he heard. He jumped sideways
and rolled to the ground, and, *Slap!* the ground he was on just now was hit by
something. The ground scattered along with the sound of an explosion.
