Chapter-89 Strike Back pt-1

Chapter-89

(In the Hospital)

"I have no idea why I even entertained the idea of stealing the data from the mainframe!" (Mibu)

"It was like I-I wa-wasn't myself at that moment…" (Mibu)

"I-I...ha-had endangered t-the safety of everyone, due to my actions!" (Mibu)

"*Sob*…*Sob*…I-I…" (Mibu)

Mibu Sayaka was a mess!

She didn't have any idea why she helped the intruders locate the mainframe and gain access to the system, her memory had been hazy after she had regained consciousness.

In the fight between Mibu and Erika, the latter had decisively struck the former's hand to disarm her.

Unfortunately, the intensity of her strike caused a hairline fracture on Mibu's right-hand bone.

The latter had lost consciousness after forcing herself to match her opponent to the best of her capabilities.

"It's alright, Mibu." (Mayumi)

Besides the hospital bed, stood the Student Council president and Tatsuya's squad.

Every one of them had serious expressions on their faces as they tried to coax their senior.

"They probably did something to you so to make you follow their orders, the other students are also saying the same thing as you." (Mayumi)

"Which further strengthens my belief that 'those' people have done something to all of you." (Mayumi)

Mayumi immediately injected the knowledge she had gained from examining the students who betrayed the school.

From their statements, it was certain that they were under the effect of some kind of magic rather than acting of their own free will.

"Is what you are saying the truth? President?" (Mibu)

Mibu didn't quite believe Mayumi's words.

She was blaming herself for all that 'had' happened and all that 'could' have happened.

"Indeed, don't worry...'he' should be here soon." (Mayumi)

Mayumi didn't give up and injected 'his' presence.

"Who...?" (Mibu)

Maybe it was because of what had happened earlier today or rather she still wasn't 100% conscious, she just forgot about the president's fiance.

Shutter!

The door shutters open revealing Erik who then proceeds to walk inside the hospital room.

(Tatsuya's POV)

So this is Erik Saltzman, owner of the [Saltzman Co-operations].

I can't feel anything from him, not even a spec of psion.

The various articles and the official statement by the school state that he has an extremely high psion count, even if the exact details are unknown...

...it is safe to assume that the amount of psion he possesses reaches Elite-Level, at least.

Even though his uniform seemed to mask it, one can still observe the muscles around his body.

Compact muscles and lean body, adding his 6'3 height into the equation, he does hold a lot of advantages over most individuals.

Sensei claimed that he was defeat by this man, meaning that in pure martial arts, he is also at a higher level.

From what 'aunt' told me.

He is also extremely skilled in a variety of magic systems, able to use both [Modern] and [Ancient] magic interchangeable without needing a C.A.D.

He is also extremely handsome, which leads me to believe that he too is like Miyuki, a specialized magician.

But what really sets him apart is his intelligence, and I can see that.

The way he handled the situation so effortlessly is a testament to his capabilities.

I refrained from using [Elemental Sight].

From what I have heard, he seemed to be extremely sensitive to the psion of others, granted he possesses something similar to my eyes.

I will not take any chances, 'aunt' has already warned me to be careful near him.

(Miyuki POV)

So he is Erik Saltzman, Yakumo sensei had told us about.

He is so tall.

And from what I have heard, he is also very powerful and a master-strategist.

His handsomeness reminds me of Kudou Minoru, but unlike him, he doesn't seem like a specialized magician.

I tried to sense his intent...

...only to come up blank.

The color of his intent is none existent!

Which means I can't sense his intent at all!?

How is this possible?

He is probably protected by some kind of magic that hides his intent and will.

'Aunt' did say to stay away from him until it's absolutely necessary to be near him.

(Third POV)

Erik, after entering the room observed the situation.

His eyes land on Mibu's injured right hand.

He turned to look towards Erika who had a nervous expression on her face.

"What did I say about making sure that, she doesn't get hurt?" (Erik)

"I am so sorry Erik-nii!" (Erika)

"Mibu-Senpai was also very skilled so I couldn't hold back!" (Erika)

"I am really sorry!" (Erika)

Erika immediately apologized, Erik had been very clear with his instructions about restraining Mibu without harming her.

Unfortunately, Erika couldn't hold back against Mibu since the latter was also very skilled in the 'way of the sword'.

Not replying to Erika, he turned towards Mari.

"You could have knocked her out without fighting, right?" (Erik)

"Mibu challenged Erika to a sword fight, interfering in a sword fight is considered a disrespect to both of the combatants." (Mari)

"I was bound by the rules..." (Mari)

Mari had a helpless look on her face.

She was trained by the Chiba family thus she had also inherited their customs. She couldn't go against the rules or it would mean that she was disrespecting the Chiba family.

"Sigh..." (Erik)

Erik let out an annoyed sigh as his calm expression once again resurfaced on his face.

"Nevermind, while I know that this is not a pleasant time, introductions are necessary." (Erik)

Erik then turns towards the first-year students and introduced himself.

"I am Erik Saltzman, a third-year Course-1 student." (Erik)

"I am also the [Advisor] of the [First-High School]..." (Erik)

Hearing his introduction, the others also followed behind.

"My name is Saijou Leonhard, the first-year Course-2 student." (Leo)

"My name is Shibata Mizuki, the first-year Course-2 student." (Mizuki)

"My name is Chiba Erika, the first-year Course-2 student." (Erika)

"My name is Shiba Tatsuya, the first-year Course-2 student." (Tatsuya)

"My name is Shiba Miyuki, the first-year Course-1 student, and the class representative for 1-A." (Miyuki)

"Nice to meet you!" (Everyone)

"Hm..." (Erik)

"Now since the introductions are out of the way, let us focus on the matter at hand." (Erik)

Saying so, Erik moved towards the hospital bed and stood beside his fiance.

Mayumi turned to face Erik and spoke in a concerned tone.

"She and the other students are probably under some kind of spell..." (Mayumi)

"All of them have the same symptoms and memory loss." (Mayumi)

"Is that so? Guess, a check-up wouldn't hurt..." (Erik)

Erik stepped closer to the bed until he was in front of Mibu Sayaka who had a nervous expression on her face.

Even though Erik had always been polite to everyone, it doesn't mask the fact that this man is an extremely skilled magician!

'The Invulnerable One'

As called by the students, Erik has a large following within the school.

He is the president's fiance.

Not to mention that in terms of status, even the "Big-three" are required to be respectful.

Now that he was standing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel intimidated, his stature didn't help at all.
