Chapter 190 190
After Setsuka and Kaede parted ways with Tenku, they quickly dashed into the school building with Kohana in her older sister's arms. The little girl is breathing steadily, and her condition has improved thanks to Tenku's first aid. But Setsuka still had to give Kohana intensive care to ensure that the little girl was completely fine and that there were no deep wounds in her body.
Setsuka and Kaede didn't take long to reach the school building. When they arrived, they were surprised that the number of students fighting had doubled. Setsuka also saw Hijiri among them, and she was burning the orcs around her.
Even though the number of students fighting increased, they were still overwhelmed by the monsters because so many of them kept coming to the school building.
"Where did Kirika go? Did she leave the students and go into hiding?" Setsuka looked around the place but didn't find Kirika among the students. But she saw Kirika's manager and Akihiko fighting fiercely against the monsters.
"You don't need to think about it, Setsuka. You should quickly take Kohana inside and give her treatment. I will stay here to help the students." Kaede reminded Setsuka.
"I understand. In that case, I'll leave this place to you, Kaede. I will return here and help you when Kohana wakes up." Setsuka nodded and quickly ran towards the school building.
The students, including Satoru, saw Setsuka and the little girl in her arms. Satoru knew that she was Setsuka's little sister, Kohana. He felt he had seen the little girl somewhere not long ago but couldn't remember. Satoru didn't think about it further because he didn't want to get distracted fighting monsters.
"I apologize for coming late!" Kaede said in a loud voice, and she manifested her Phantasmal Object.
The students responded with excited cheers because Kaede's appearance would lighten their burden.
"Phantasmal Release..."
FOREST OF DRYAD
Kaede quickly used her ability, and the area was filled with vines that locked and pierced the monsters' bodies. When the orcs and goblins lose their mobility, the students could easily kill them.
Meanwhile, Setsuka immediately went to the infirmary after she entered the school building. Luckily, no one was there, and she quickly laid Kohana down on the bed. Then Setsuka takes out a small bottle from her space pocket. When she opened the lid, a medicinal fragrance filled the entire room. It was a potion and quite a high grade.
Setsuka drank the potion into Kohana's tiny mouth. After confirming that the liquid in the bottle was gone, Setsuka sighed in relief.
"With this, Kohana should be fine. So I'm just waiting for her to wake up." Setsuka took a chair from the corner of the room and sat beside Kohana's bed to accompany and look after her.
"It seems the sunlight is too dazzling. I don't want Kohana to wake up because of that. She should get maximum rest." Setsuka got up from her seat and intended to close the curtains on the window. But she was startled when she looked outside. Setsuka found the sky had suddenly darkened as a gigantic palm covered it.
"What's that?" Setsuka said in a trembling voice. She could feel a terrifying power from it. Setsuka was sure everyone fighting in front of the school building must have seen that and felt the same way. After that, the palm fell and clashed with something on the ground.
Boooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The entire building shook violently from the impact of the clash. Luckily, there was no damage at the site, and the building stood firm. Setsuka suddenly felt worried about Tenku. She wanted to look for him and confirm his situation in person because Tenku hadn't replied to her messages since she sent them a while ago.
But Setsuka hesitated when she saw Kohana. She couldn't leave her little sister without anyone in the place. After she thought about it for quite a while, Setsuka finally chose to believe in Tenku and stayed with Kohana in the room. Besides, she couldn't leave the building at will while the others fought to protect the school.
"You should recover quickly, Kohana. You have made many people, including your big brother, worry about you. You are fortunate because he loves you. This is the first time I've seen him show such anger." Setsuka spoke in a low voice and stroked Kohana's hair gently. She felt jealous of her little sister because Tenku was never angry for her.
At the same time, Tenku continues to slaughter monsters around the Suisei High School area after he deals with Kirika. He had eliminated two-thirds of the monsters that Ghost Nebula's members summoned. What remained was the Minotaur and hundreds of monsters attacking the school building.
Unfortunately, Tenku's strength only slightly increased after killing that many monsters. It made him a little disappointed. He thought he could raise one of his powers if he killed those monsters.
"There are no monsters in this place anymore. I can't return to the school building because the students must gather there. So I have to deal with the Minotaur first." Tenku muttered and shot at top speed to where Benjiro was fighting the Minotaur.
When Tenku arrived at his destination, he was surprised because Benjiro had managed to kill five of the seven minotaurs. Currently, Benjiro is dealing with the remaining two monsters. But his condition was dire. His entire body was covered in blood, and his right hand was almost severed.
His breath was ragged, and he seemed to be forcing himself to remain standing. Tenku could feel that Benjiro was running out of strength. His fighting spirit to protect the school and the students kept him standing on his two feet. But Benjiro would die if he fought the two minotaurs in that state.
"Amazing. As expected of the principal, he fought to such an extent to protect this place and his students. Because of that, I cannot remain silent." Tenku manifests Golden Revolver and turns it into a sniper.
He loaded it with two fourth-level monster cores and compressed it with genesis power and Qi. Tenku also injects gun intent into his Phantasmal Object. He had taken quite a distance from the scene of Benjiro's battle against the Minotaur because he didn't want the other party to notice his presence. Tenku aimed his sniper at the Minotaur's head and pulled the trigger twice.
Meteoric Blast!
Bang! Bang!
The two bullets shot at terrifying speed and precisely hit the monster's head.
Booooooooooommmmmmmmm!
Booooooooooommmmmmmmm!
The heads of the two minotaurs exploded, and they died instantly. Then their massive bodies slowly fell and made the ground around the place tremble.
"What!?" Benjiro was shocked when he saw what had happened. He looked around but found no one there.
Benjiro was sure that the two minotaurs had died from someone's attack, but he couldn't locate the person with his strength. It confused him, but he didn't have time to think about that now.
"I don't know who you are. But I thank you because you have helped the students at this school." Benjiro bowed ninety degrees in a random direction and expressed his thanks sincerely. After that, he quickly left the place and walked towards the school building.
"Okay. The problem here is solved. Let the principal and the students do the rest. I should return to the school building and see Kohana's condition." Tenku sighed and took out his smartphone. He had heard the sound of an incoming message notification when he was fighting monsters.
Tenku saw lots of incoming messages from Setsuka, Akina, and Takaya. He quickly replied to them one after another. Not long after, he received another message from Setsuka about Kohana's current state and location.
After reading the message, he put his smartphone back in his pocket. He checked his surroundings to make sure there weren't any monsters left in that place. Then he immediately left the area.
Tenku returned to the school building through the backyard, much quieter than the front. The students were still busy fighting monsters until now. But their battle will undoubtedly end soon.
He easily entered the building without anyone else noticing through the school's rooftop. Tenku didn't head straight to Kohana's place but met Akina and the others first.
Meanwhile, Setsuka accompanied Kohana and did not move an inch from her side. She was startled when she heard the weak voice from the little girl's mouth.
"Ugh..." Kohana slowly opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
"Kohana! You're finally awake!! How are you feeling now? Do you feel any pain in your body?" Setsuka said with concern. She bombarded the little girl with questions because she worried her injuries would leave something bad on her body.
"Big sister? Where am I? Where is big brother? I dreamed I met an orc, and that monster kept toying with me. After that, big brother came to save me like a prince." Kohana looked to her right and smiled weakly. Setsuka felt pain in her heart when she saw that.
"You're in the infirmary, and it wasn't a dream. But you don't need to be afraid of those monsters. If you are in danger, big brother will save you no matter how often it happens." Setsuka held her tiny hand, and she felt Kohana's body tremble slightly after she said that. She noticed that her little sister was still scared because of that incident.
"It wasn't a dream? Where is a big brother now?" Kohana was shocked and looked around the room but couldn't find Tenku.
"He's taking care of something outside. But he will be back soon to see you." Setsuka smiled and rubbed Kohana's head.
"Isn't it dangerous out there? Don't you need to check it? I'm already fine. So you can look for big brother and ensure he's safe." Kohana tries to get out of bed to show Setsuka she is okay. But Setsuka quickly stopped her.
"You don't need to worry about that matter. Your big brother is powerful. Didn't he save you from the orc? After all, he has already sent me a message saying he will return here soon." Setsuka tried to comfort her little sister.
"Is that true?" Kohana still couldn't believe it. Setsuka wanted to reply, but a voice from the entrance of the infirmary interrupted her.
"Of course. I will be fine."
