Chapter 42 - The Cold Savior in the Dark

After completely killing the three kidnappers...

Kawashima Toya turned to Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Spencer Eriri, and Kato Megumi, instructing them seriously: "Find a place to hide."

"Or evacuate Private Toyogasaki Academy."

"Once I've dealt with all the kidnappers, I'll leave on my own!"

With that, he departed immediately.

Although the important people had been saved, the others were still in danger.

Since he had the power to save them, he didn't mind lending a hand.

Eriri's azure eyes flashed with a hint of confusion. "Did his eyes turn blue, like the sky?"

She remembered that when this mysterious person saved them, his eyes were black. Why had they suddenly changed?

"Don't worry about irrelevant things. Let's leave the school first and not cause trouble!"

Utaha didn't answer Eriri's question.

Not knowing was only one reason; she wanted to keep matters regarding Toya as secret as possible from strangers.

Kato Megumi's fair face remained impassive, and she likewise didn't answer Eriri's confusion.

Eriri looked at Utaha, then at Kato, feeling like they were hiding something.

"It feels so frustrating being the only one who doesn't know anything!"

After complaining for a bit, Eriri hurried to catch up with Utaha and Kato as they evacuated.

School Auditorium.

"Ordinary humans?"

Toya silently arrived at the highest point of the auditorium, looking down at the kidnappers surrounding the innocent hostages.

Through the observation of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, the thirteen kidnappers in the auditorium were all ordinary humans without exception.

Although he didn't know why those three other kidnappers had turned into such ugly forms, these thirteen were thoroughly human.

They weren't influenced by the Evil God's aura at all; their actions were purely out of their own free will.

"Truly heinous criminals, huh?"

A trace of ice flashed in Toya's indifferent eyes, which were as pure and blue as the sky.

He leaped down from the auditorium beams instantly, charging at the nearest kidnapper.

Pfft!

The sound of the Demon Sword piercing flesh rang out silently.

The kidnapper clutched his neck, struggling ceaselessly as the lethal cursed poison spread from the wound throughout his body.

In just a few seconds, the kidnapper died completely without even making a sound.

In the dark and lightless auditorium, Toya moved like a ghost, weaving through the crowd, locking onto and slaying the kidnappers one by one.

One, two, three...

Vicious kidnappers clutched their necks and collapsed in agony one after another. The incurable cursed poison spread through their bodies, thoroughly extinguishing their life force.

In just a short moment, only one kidnapper remained.

The last surviving kidnapper noticed his companions' voices disappearing one by one and realized what was happening.

"Someone's here!"

"Since it's come to this, I'll—"

Before he could say the words "kill the hostages," a snow-bright blade flashed.

The last kidnapper saw only a pair of cold eyes, clear and blue as the sky, before clutching his neck and dying in agony like the rest.

"All thirteen killed!"

Before leaving, Toya confirmed one last time that there were no remaining kidnappers.

After ensuring the coast was clear, he left silently, leaving behind only the terrified, trembling students.

Throughout the entire process, no one noticed Toya's arrival, nor did they know that he had slain all the kidnappers.

After Toya had killed all the kidnappers, the sirens of the police vehicles finally arrived, belatedly.

----

Outside the School.

Among the onlookers, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and Kato Megumi waited anxiously for Toya's return.

There were thirteen kidnappers in the auditorium, each armed with a gun.

It was extremely dangerous. If an accident happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's not appropriate for me to stay here. I'm leaving first." Just as Utaha was waiting anxiously, Toya's calm and composed voice drifted over slowly.

"Eh? Kawashima?" Utaha hurried to look around for Toya, but she was disappointed.

She couldn't see him anywhere in the crowd of onlookers.

On the street where police cars were roaring past, Toya walked silently, carrying the re-sheathed Murasame.

No one would know that this young man, who looked a bit like a cosplayer, had single-handedly resolved the kidnapping incident at Private Toyogasaki Academy.

[System Notice: Congratulations, Host. World Commission complete. 2,000 Source Points have been credited.]

"Free Source Points. Might as well take them." Hearing that the commission was complete, a faint smile appeared on Toya's face.

If possible, he hoped the system would issue more commissions.

Otherwise, daily life was just too dull and boring.

"The aura of an Evil God..." Toya walked down the street, murmuring in his heart, "I wonder where those three kidnappers got that aura from."

He had killed the three kidnappers decisively without intending to interrogate them.

Beings corrupted by the Evil God's aura were all madmen who never cared about their lives.

Even in death, these lunatics would only believe they were returning to the embrace of their Evil God.

No matter what method was used, it was absolutely impossible to get useful information from a madman infected by an Evil God's aura.
