Chapter 240: The Door Is Unlocked
Location: Seren Tenshin Academy
Seria stood smiling happily and held out her hand.
Sora and Zenon looked at Seria, wondering what was on her mind.
"What do you mean, Seria?"
Sora asked, wary of the person standing in the middle. It was Seria.
Seria tilted her head, confused by the question. "I said I'd let you go, right? It meant I agreed.
It meant I agreed to let this person go."
Sora asked seriously. "Seriously?"
Seria nodded. "Of course I do. Do you think our teacher, who's so talented at teaching,
would get in trouble fighting us?"
Zenon remained calm, wary of the still Dante.
Sora drew his sword, preparing to take a fighting stance.
Sora pointed his sword at Seria. "I don't agree."
Seria pointed at himself with his finger, pushing the sword away.
"Don't bring dangerous things like that, Seria." If it touches my beautiful face, it'll be a big deal.
Seria stopped paying attention to Sora and stared at Dante.
"Then, let's make a deal. I've wanted that spear in your hand for a long time. A level five magical item.
If you give me this, I'll buy you two time."
Dante looked at his own spear. "What do you mean?"
Seria spread her arms out, covering their faces.
"Easy! Bribe me. I want that magical item.
I want it. So, I'll take care of both of you."
Dante, come out. I don't believe you.
"You think I should believe what you're saying? Absolutely not."
Seria blinked. "Sigh... I don't understand the situation. There's only one way to escape.
If there's a fight, I guarantee you'll run out of escape routes. Your time right now...
At that moment, you could hide from your teachers.
Because you used the timing of the fight. The chaos caused by the appearance of the enemy outside had caused him to escape, but this time, the enemy would target him.
Think carefully. The weight of the object you hold, and the life in your hand.
Seria held out her hand. "Now, between your life and the ashes, which will you choose?"
Dante sighed. "Tch, fine. Did you think I'd say that?"
A burst of flame filled the magical spear, and heat erupted, burning the surrounding area.
The magical scissors puppets charged at Dante. Whoosh!
Dante swung the spear and slashed at the two scissors puppets. Boom!
Seria dove away, running away at high speed. Whoosh!
Xenon and Sora ran after him. Whoosh!
Seria sighed. "How sad. There's no trust."
Sora asked. "What's next?"
Xenon spoke up. "Do you want to use that thing to stall for time and wait for the teachers to take care of it?" "
Seria looked at the two. "Of course. Let the teachers handle it. I'm just negotiating to get that magical item."
"So, when will the teacher be here?" Sora asked, having never seen Seria call for the teacher since he'd followed.
Seria ran hurriedly. "Go after her. That was just a threat. When the teacher gets here, it'll be over."
The three ran at full speed.
The teachers were heading in the direction of the sounds of the fighting.
They were starting to move toward them.
After a while, the three arrived at the headmaster's room. Seria was standing at the door.
It was locked, unable to be opened.
Seria knocked loudly on the door. Knock, knock, knock, knock.
"Headmaster Abel! Something big has happened! Come out now! It's time for bed. Wake up, teacher, teacher!"
Seria stood outside the door and shouted. Zenon spoke up. "Headmaster, is he not here?"
Sora shouted. "Is Teacher Abel here?!" This is the student council president, Sora, asking for your help!
Seria created a ball of light. A golden glow shone in front of the door.
The two people behind them looked at each other. "What are you doing, Seria!?"
Seria turned to look at them. "The teacher had an accident. She fell and hit her head. We need to help her!"
Seria fired a golden ball of light, hitting the door. Boom!
The door flew away, revealing a hole that allowed a view into the room.
The room was filled with papers, blown by the wind.
Each leaflet flew through the air.
The entire room was empty.
Seria looked at the door, which had a hand-hole for her to get inside.
She unlocked the door. The sound of the lock was loud!
Seria backed away, looking at the two people behind her, stunned by Seria's recent destruction of the door.
Seria destroyed the door. Sora gasped in confusion. "What are you doing?" "
Seria approached the door and knocked loudly.
"Master Abel, are you there?"
Seria reached for the doorknob and turned it slightly. The door slowly opened. Seria pushed her way in.
A creaking sound...
"Oh, isn't the door unlocked? Come on in, both of you. It looks like Master Abel isn't here."
Sora pressed his hand to his forehead. "You're going to do it like this?"
Seria walked into the unlocked room.
"What are you talking about? There was a fight outside, and the three of us arrived here and opened the door ourselves.
Nothing seems out of place, right, partner?"
Xenon followed Seria, stalking away. "You think this is how it's going to be, covering it up?"
"What are you talking about? The three of us decided to come here. I see you're not moving.
I'm the one who sacrificed, and I still have to take the blame. How cruel. So, fine. I'll go in alone. All of you, get out!"
Seria walked into Headmaster Abel's office and closed the door. She covered the hole with a piece of paper to prevent the two from seeing inside.
Seria walked in. The room was completely unadorned, with only a few ordinary items and a single leafed plant on a shelf.
Along with various books, Seria walked in and picked up a document that had fallen to the floor.
"The cost per person per room, huh? Hmm."
Seria picked up the paper and read it. It contained information about Yuki, the former student council member who had disappeared.
"This person is the former strongest member of Seren Tenshin Academy.
He disappeared for unknown reasons. Hmm?"
Seria picked up the paper. He picked up another page and read, "Application for a new teacher?"
Seria looked around the room. It was full of books.
Almost half of the books were about the students' textbooks, and the other half were about the mysteries of Seren Tenshin Academy.
And some minor information.
Seria walked over and sat down in a chair, taking out some documents to read.
Seria sat down in the principal's chair.
Seria looked at the teacher's chair, feeling uncomfortable.
"What kind of chair is this? Why is it so crappy? It's as hard as a classroom chair."
Seria picked up the document and read it with ease.
The door opened inside.
Sora and Zenon walked in.
The two entered without incident.
"Welcome, collaborators. Look at this. Documents about the school, huh?"
Seria held up a piece of paper to show him.
The two entered, closing the door behind them.
The two were just as interested as Seria, their curiosity equally palpable.
Sora walked over to the bookshelf, while Zenon looked at the shelves.
Sora asked as he examined the books, "What did you find?"
Seria nodded. "Sure. It seems the special classes cost a lot of money to teach us."
And the school currently has a lot of other security and safety issues.
Everywhere you look, there are problems, even minor ones, from fighting among themselves."
Sora turned to Seria. "Are you saying the student council can't handle fighting?"
Seria shook her head. "No, Master Zenon. Do you have an answer to the president's question?"
Zenon turned to Sora, his face calm.
"How can you control a fight outside of school?
But outside, Seria would say that."
"That's right... solving a problem, if it doesn't end, This isn't called solving the problem.
What's next? It seems there's more to it than meets the eye. Eliminating all the problems is the solution.
Sora pretended to think. "Don't tell me that pile of papers over there is a problem for this school?"
Seria nodded, accepting the pile of papers with both hands.
"That's right. If something fun is going on, we can't ignore it.
Then let's get started."
The two looked at each other and asked in unison.
"What are you doing?"
Seria threw the papers into the air. Whoosh...
Papers flew across the room as Seria stood up.
"Of course!
Organize the entire school.
Increase the power of the student council.
What's going on? Hahahahahaha.
Fun! I'm here. How much power does the entire school have? Hehe. Hahahahahaha."
Seria laughed with glee as she announced her intention to increase her power within the school.
The two stood there silently, staring at the confident girl. Throwing away the pile of documents.
Seria said softly.
"The plan to take over the school is about to begin."
