It's been a week since the tournament, school day is back to normal.
Today the student council is coming to give a speech to every classroom. Our instructors told us to wait and just stayed seated. It feels boring as nothing interesting is actually happening.
I am playing with my magical power within my body while feeling the restriction of my magic suppressing bracelet. I tried to move it here, and then I move it there. It's the only thing I can do while waiting things out.
Finally, the student council came. It's that blonde haired person whose fanclub I am a part of, Rose Oriana. Along with her is the Fanclub President herself, Filo Erbyu.
I just recall that she is part of the student council.
"Hm?" I don't know why but I felt Rose's glancing at me for a moment before beginning her speech. It's something about how she is proud of this school, or her hopes for the students to be successful at their endeavors or something.
Her words actually stirred something in me. Being successful as a Power in the Shadows is one of my greatest wishes after all. Hearing that makes me more determined to pursue my goals.
"It's coming..." It might be because of her words, but I just felt like saying that after feeling a bit excited at the prospects of being successful.
Just when I said that, I suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere. It becomes a lot more harder to manipulate magic as I can feel even the magical particles on the surroundings being sucked out to somewhere.
Then I heard it, the sounds of footsteps hastily approaching this place before someone smashes the door open.
"Everyone drop to your knees! You won't like what happen if you try to defy us!" People in dark robes entered the room in groups, and the one leading them demanded that.
Holy shit, are they actually doing that?
The one that many kids on school dream of happening?
The one where the terrorist attacks the school!?
Shit! I've dreamed of this happening in my school! It's one of the top ten things I want to experience once! I even have a lot of plans put in my bucket list that I want to accomplish if something like this happens!
They actually did it. These madlads actually did it!
"How daring! Attacking a school of dark knights in broad daylight!" My eyes widened when I saw the foreign princess unsheathing her blade and pointing it at the assailants.
No! Wait! This is bad!
"It seems like you'll do as an example!"
Your doing it wrong! This is not what's supposed to happen on this script!
"... Wait!? I can't feel my magic power!?"
They have already planned this out. Rose has noticed it just now. Though it's too late.
Move! Move a bit faster my feet!
"Die!"
I can't let it happen!
I can't let a main character die first!
If someone has to die first...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--!?"
... It is normal for a mob to die first!
She closes her eyes in fear of seeing what will happen. Covering her face with her arms, when she heard someone screaming out. Her eyes slowly open, peeking forward before widening her eyes as she saw a shade of purple strands of hair falling on the ground, and the red liquid that follows on it.
"W-what..." Her eyes trembles as she instinctively kneeled at the laid figure of the petite purple haired girl. "W-why...?" She asks in wonder as she looks at the dull amber eyes of her supposed admirer.
She can see a large gash going from her shoulder to her torso, and a lot of blood quickly coating her uniform. Rose felt herself trembling as she looks at that deadly pale face turning to her, and her eyes gazing at her with her trembling lips quirking into a contented smile.
She knows her. She is Claire's friend. The one she fought and has been tied on the Bushin Festival. This is the one she called as someone who truly admires her. This makes her feel extremely grateful, and at the same time extremely guilty.
"D-don't close your eyes..." Rose tries to plead, but the eyelids of this pitiful girl heavily closed. Forever succumbing to the fate of eternal darkness.
She can't believe it. There is someone out there who truly admires her so much that they will lay their life down just for her safety. Even as she felt a small amount of gratitude, overwhelming guilt weighs her heart. It felt so choking seeing someone just putting their life on the line just for her to continue living.
No one has ever done that to her. Not even those who has proclaimed they admire her a lot.
"I'm sorry..." She says with a choked sob.
She is so focused on the now cooling body of her admirer's corpse that she hasn't heard the various screams of horror from her back and the other students on the side.
"Huh... what are you doing?"
She only manages to notice something is happening when her fellow student council member charges frantically at the guy who killed the purple haired girl. Then the other students follow suit.
"Do you want to die!?"
"I'll kill you!"
Filo was simply repelled and has been slashed on her stomach, quickly disabling her from the fight. Though the others charges at them in a frenzy. As if they have gone mad about something.
"... W-wait..." Rose knows that they can't do anything with this. They can't contend against someone who seems to be capable of using their magic.
And it shows as they were quickly repelled, and some even being unfortunately killed by their blades.
"Ptui! You shits! I'll have you all killed right now!" The guy who says that is the same guy who has drawn the first blood. He raises his hand, going for the prone form of her fellow student council member.
She immediately stands up after that. Not wanting for anyone to lose their life anymore.
"Stop! Don't! We will come with you!" She tries to reason with him.
Though the guy seems to have ignored him. Resuming his stance and wanting to end another life when one of the dark robed guys hold onto his wrist. Stopping him.
"Stop... the leader said not to kill everyone..."
After saying that, the guy grit his teeth, before kicking the prone form of the girl. Causing her to grunt in pain before he turns his back.
"No more funny business! I'll kill you all if you try to do anything!" He said while glaring at all of them.
Rose silently nodded before going to Filo's side. She seems to have become unconscious, though she is still breathing. She silently glared at the back of the guy who is leaving the room, before looking at the other students. Seeing them looking at Arisa's body with grief.
It seems like most of the students her actually likes her. Though it's her own fault that she dies like that.
"... Sorry..." She can only mutter that with a guilt ridden expression.
"What are you standing there for? Do you want me to kill you now!?"
With the words of the terrorist, almost everyone glared at him before lowering their heads. They decided to obey for now. Most of their fists clenching, and some can be heard their teeth clattering as they gritted. Some even drawing blood from the tightness of their fist, or from biting their lips.
It took a long while, before they finally vacated the room. Leaving the few corpses of students in there.
It is silent for awhile... and then, the finger of the presumed dead purple haired girl twitches...

I hope this looks great. I feel satisfied in this chapter as I managed to incorporate what I wanted to happen in this chapter.
