"Hello Osmond" I greeted
Osmond froze up for a second before realising who it was and turned around in his chair.
"Hello there your majesty, do you need anything?" Osmond asked, but in his head he was thinking 'please say no please say no please say no pl-'
"Yes, I do." 'fuuuuuck'
"What is it that you would like?" Osmond asks back without revealing anything, 'Did he find out about the royal eagle's message? How is that possible?'
"I'd like you to gather all of the students in the academy, I have something I'd like to show everyone. Don't worry, I won't kill them or anything hahaha" I assure him, I don't think he believes me… He has no choice tho.
"What do you… need them for?" He asks warily while reaching for his wand
"Your wand won't help you, I can move faster than you can perceive. You won't even be able to utter a single syllable before you die. I truly just want to show them something. Tell them to gather in front of the gates, no need for any personal belongings. It's just a quick trip." I say
'This definitely sounds like a death trap… 'No need for personal belongings, so you don't have to clean them up alongside the bodies!? Just a quick trip? To hell?!' He picks up his wand and chants a loudening spell that allows him to broadcast his voice across the campus.
"All students head to the front gate and line up. I repeat, all students head to the front gate and line up." Osmond says before looking back at the king and noticing he was gone.
*30minutes later*
All of the students were gathered in front of me and Osmond was standing next to me. There were at least 600 students and all of them were watching me and Osmond impatiently. Kirche was watching me with curiosity and send me a smirk when my eyes crossed hers.
"Alright, I will assume everyone is here. I have something that I'd like to show you, but we will need to go outside these walls to do so. Please follow me." I say and don't give anyone time to complain.
We walk about a kilometer into an open field and I turn around once again and wait for everyone to come to a halt.
"Alright. This is far enough I suppose, I'll be right back. I'll let her do the talking." I say and disappear and reappear instantly with a pink mass in my hands that looks like she's about to throw up. I pat her back a little and push her forward while telling osmond to cast an amplifying spell onto her.
"H-hello everyone!" Louise meekly calls out.
"You're gonna have to be louder than that, I could barely hear you even though I'm right next to you." I grin
"HELLO EVERYONE!" Louise blasts everyone's eardrums with a high amount of air vibrations.
"Get on with it!"
"Hello!"
"Hia!"
"Can I go now?"
"What is this?"
"What is zero doing onstage?"
Various responses were responded and made Louise feel even more anxious.
"As you all know, I have a nickname, this nickname hurts my pride and my noble standing. I am Louise the zero. Or just zero for short. This nickname was given to me because all of my spells fail. When I was guiding his majesty around the courtyards I happened to mention my problem to him, and he benevolently offered to help me. Over the course of a day he has solved a problem that has plagued me for over 5 years! A problem with which even my own family could not help me. His majesty has brung you all here so you could witness the very first spell that I can call successful! All thanks to his majesty's vast knowledge of the magical arts and wisdom!" Louise finishes, no applause. None at all.
"What the hell is this facade? I'm leaving, Louise the zero casting a spell? A commoner flying is more likely!" Said a particularly arrogant noble who thought he was above everyone else.
Not even a second passed before Louise started having tear drops in her eyes and getting ready to run.
"Do not look down on those that I teach, you doing so insults me directly, I do not like being insulted." I say as I vanish and slice that noble in half, from tailbone to skull.
I reappear in my original spot and sheathe my katana as that noble freezes in shock and falls to the ground… In two pieces of course.
All the students around that noble are wide eyed and the students behind those students are trying to get a good view of what happened
"You promised you wouldn't kill any of my students!" Osmond roars as he takes up his wand...His wand that is chopped into a swan.
"I said I wouldn't kill unprovoked, that was a provocation." I replied as his eyes bulged out of their sockets at what happened to his wand.
"Anyone have anything to say?" I ask
No response.
"Good. Keep it that way, Louise, proceed." I command
The command thankfully unfreezes Louise and she stares at the body on the ground, With… No emotion in her eyes? Interesting.
"Yes your majesty." Louise brings her wand up and starts chanting like a certain crimson demon.
"I call upon the abyss to provide me with darkness that is darker than dark" Osmond seems confused at this sentence, everyone else is too.
"I beseech thee, combine with my void and fill me." Osmond's eyes widen 'the void? Is it a coincidance? Wait…. Explosions at every spell… No… It cannot be, right?"
"The time of destruction has cometh" Osmond starts turning pale
"Let the collapse of reality begin as we strive to uncover the truth"
"And let everything return to dust as it began"
"That which came from the abyss"
"EXPLOSION" She finishes with a shout and points her wand at a nearby forest flourishing with life.
A deep orange glow brighter than 1000 suns quickly spreads outwards from a single point of origin and consumed half of the forest before stopping and instead going upwards, forming a mushroom from the smoke and explosive particles
A loud bang was heard by everyone spectating and followed that was a fierce wind that nearly pushed everyone off of their feet.
The aftermath after everything settled down was… intense.
Half of the forest was gone while the rest was raging with flame, some of the students threw up and were quivering on their feet. Some fainted, and some were excited.
*Respect gained*
Current progress: 100%
You may leave whenever you wish.
Rewards can be claimed whenever you wish.
I could just leave right now, but I need to experiment with something before doing so. The reason that I acted as a king, the entire facade, was for this. We'll see if it works later, there are still some preparations that I need to do, If not then I'll need to think of something else.
Louise fainted from the massive amounts of willpower it took to make a blast that large, so I caught and softly placed her on the ground. Don't want her accidently dieing before I get to fuck that virgin pussy of hers.
"That forest was at least a kilometer in diameter, half of it is gone… Is this the power of the void affinity? I had no idea there existed a person who had it." Osmond mutters to himself
"You were quite ignorant not to notice, an explosion at every spell gave it away within seconds. You should have known if you were such a good mage." I reprimand, he really should've known.
"You're right. I should have known and should have helped my student with her problems, and yet I didn't. You realise louise may be forced to join the military now right? This kind of power will be very useful in it." Osmond informs me
"I can see why you'd do that. I am a king after all, the country above personal desires. I don't mind if you do it but what I do mind is people taking away my possessions, after I leave you can do whatever you'd like with her, but before then she is my guide. No more and no less. If you try to force her into the military before I leave then do not expect your country to survive. Anyways, dismissed." I say before disappearing with louise in my hands.
Osmond shivers from the look in his eyes before looking at the forest fire and realising that it's spreading to the another nearby forest
"All students that can use water magic, help me put out this fire." Osmond announced
"Man, the queen coming here is going to be a complete disaster…" Osmond muttered to himself as he began casting powerful water magics.
