Chapter 109 108. Attack On Switch.
Outside the Switch academy.
A small army had surrounded the academy and everybody had a excited look on their faces, every single one of them were waiting for a single person's command and the person who was supposed to give out the command was waiting for the order from the person speaking through his earpiece.
"Lady Mairéad, Shall we proceed?" The man in command asked, politely.
[We're waiting for the spy's confirmation, so please wait, Sir Kensa Bishop.] A sweet woman's voice sounded through the earpiece.
"Understood." Kensa Bishop said with a wide grin as he started to lick his lips.
'Haa.... Lady Mairéad!!' his eyes rolled back as his lustrous imagination ran wild.
BOOOOMMM
Suddenly, an ear deafening 'BOOM' was heard in academy, everybody flinched at the sound while Kensa snapped out of his fantasy and furrowed his brows at the academy.
"Was that the spy, lady Mairéad?" He spoke through his earpiece.
[Certainly not! Please hold on a minute.] Mairéad said through the earpiece.
'What was that? If it was not the bomb..... then is there an rank-SS hero inside? What kind of predicament is this? His majesty didn't say anything about there being an rank-SS hero in the academy....' Kensa Bishop thought.
[The spy sent us a confirmation, the next blast will be your cue.] Mairéad said.
BOOOOMMMM
A more fierce blast than the previous one erupted, causing 25 percent of the academy to collapse, making Kensa's and his 'pawns' invasion easier. Kensa grinned savagely at the sight of cadets running into the academy from their droms.
"What's going on.. ack!?" A cadets voice was heard before he was struck down by Kensa's pawn.
"Kukuku! Slaughter at sight!" Kensa Bishop roared with a crazed laughter and initiated the attack.
And thus, the attack on the target, ranked 'Queen,' began.
***
In the switch academy.
A lonely man sat on his armchair behind his office desk, leaning forward, his elbows resting on the desk and his head resting on his clasped hands. He appeared to be in his fifties, with grey hair and obsidian black eyes, but his expression was melancholy and lonely.
"Haaa...." Quinn sighed and started thinking about how to mend his relationship with his granddaughter.
'So now, I need a favour from you, Quinn Walker. I want you to leave m...' Isha's voice sounded in his head.
"If Eshwar hadn't stopped her, I would have even lost my granddaughter and be left alone with 'that guy'..... Haaa..." Quinn sighed as he remembered his granddaughter's 'crying face,' because she had stopped displaying any emotions and maintained her cold and indifferent demeanour all the time, and he remembered how her hollow eyes were, which he saw when he went to pick her up when she was 15 years old, because his thoughts had changed after his meeting with Eshwar.
"I would have killed that woman in an instant, if that would make things right....." he mumbled as his body oozed out mana filled with rage.
"Hahaha..... If only things were that simple." He laughed drily and clenched his fist and teeth.
BOOOMMM
The academy trembled from the blast that occurred just now.
"He really is going all out. I'll have make him pay for the damage repairs, only then he'll know how to control his powers." Quinn mumbled as his lips curled up into a slight smile.
He sensed Eshwar's presence, no, Eshwar made it so that Quinn could feel his presence, which was also a kind of reassurance from Eshwar that he would be the one wreaking havoc in the academy. Only because Quinn knew that he sat still, and for unknown predicaments in the academy, Quinn's presence alone was a reassurance for others, and Eshwar's presence in academy was a reassurance for Quinn, because it made him feel like he wasn't alone.
"Who is this? Isn't it, madam Diti Raju? What is she doing in the academy at this time of the night?" Quinn slightly frowned as he had an ominous feeling.
"Cadets are rushing into the academy..... Was it because they heard the loud 'boom' ..." Quinn's thoughts were cut short when suddenly....
BOOOOMMMM
WHOOOOMMM
The academy trembled and Quinn estimated that it had been demolished by about 20 percent. Quinn was flabbergasted because he felt that a 'magical explosion' was the cause of the academy's walls collapsing, despite the fact that the walls were built to withstand rank-SS magical strength, and he believed that nobody could ever damage the academy, let alone with 'mere magical bombs.'
"What?" he felt Diti Raju's presence disappear at the place where the 'boom' reverberated from.
'She was a Spy?'
"The cadets!!!" Quinn roared and placed his hand on his desk before employing his mana into it.
WHOOSH
TOOOT- TOOOT (4x)
A light blue circular light glowed beneath his palm; he tapped it three times, and another ring formed around it, which he dragged to the bottom right, tapped twice, dragged to the top left, and tapped once.
ZLING
Circuits began to form and move through everything in his office, and small circuits appeared on Quinn's finger, sucking his mana and transforming the circuits with his mana signature, which connected to everything, every single rock of the academy to circuits on his desk.
"The academy ain't simply made to be sturdy." Quinn mumbled with a smirk.
"Guess, I'm becoming more and more like Eshwar." Quinn chuckled and remembered what Eshwar always used to say with a snarl.
'Don't trust humans so easily, Quinn!' Eshwar's voice echoed through Quinn's head.
"It's not that I trust 'humans' so easily, it's just 'you' whom I trust." Quinn mumbled with a warm smile and clenched his fist tightly.
'There goes 1/4 of my mana.' Quinn thought and drew back his arm.
He felt unknown forces infiltrate the switch academy, many cadets were dying near the academy's perimeters, many professors and assistant professors were fighting to protect the cadets, some Quinn knew personally while others were only fighting to save their own a*ses, but Quinn was thankful for every single one of them.
'Sorry, but you'll have fight a bit longer!' Quinn thought, glanced back at his desk, tapped the ring twice, it blinked bright red, he ignored it and placed his palm on the circular light blue glow, pressed it tightly, and circuits began to climb on his arm until his entire forearm was covered in circuits.
"Change!"
