-1245- Consider it me owing you

"Boom!"

Amidst the thunderous roar, waves of heat and cold swept through both Room 405 and Room 406 again, causing the forceful winds to howl like a hurricane, shaking the entire dormitory and making it precarious.

Stella and Shizuku, seemingly both exerting their full strength, engaged in a fierce clash under such circumstances.

And it must be said, the strength of these two was indeed extraordinary. One was enveloped in flames while the other radiated cold air. Their Devices clashed like flashes of sword light and shadows, continuously colliding, sparking waves of shock and explosions, creating a scene of chaos.

"What... What's happening!?"

"What's going on!?"

"An earthquake...!? Is it an earthquake!?"

"But... this magic power...!"

Gradually, even the rest of the first-year dormitory was affected by the commotion here, causing the students' panicked voices to slowly grow louder and more chaotic, spreading throughout the entire dormitory.

But Stella and Shizuku seemed oblivious, still fiercely battling it out.

"So stubborn! You're just a skinny little thing...! Why can you withstand so many of my attacks...!?"

"You're just as shallow as you look, with your attacks heavy and direct, showing how superficial you are...!"

"It's just a bit stronger defense, watch me break through your flatness...!"

"If you can do it, then come and try, you brute with only brute strength...!"

"You frostbitten eggplant!"

"You inflated ball!"

"You rotten expired apple!"

"You defected mannequin!"

""Just die already!!!""

The two girls angrily shouted at each other while their attacks became heavier and heavier, truly embodying the phrase "water and fire cannot coexist."

The high temperature and low temperature continuously rubbed against each other, with flames and water bombs constantly bombarding each other. The shockwaves had already shaken the entire student dormitory building, with the noisy and panicked voices of the students outside growing louder and more intense.

Naturally, as the closest to this merciless collision, Rozen and Ikki had no room to maneuver and were swept into it.

Their beds had been overturned completely, standing like fortresses, resisting the onslaught of explosions, shocks, heat, and cold. They huddled together behind them, resembling refugees affected by war.

At least, Ikki was wise enough to give up trying to reason and instead kept shaking Rozen's body desperately.

"Think of something, Rozen!"

Ikki pleaded helplessly.

"I don't care anymore..."

Rozen, leaning against the bed-turned-fortress, sat on the ground, looking at the messy dormitory as if he were tired of being involved in trouble, observing with a bored and indifferent gaze.

He just wanted to live a peaceful life for a while, without asking for anything else. Why did fate have to make things difficult for him? Even after coming to the academy and becoming a student, he still inexplicably got dragged into such turmoil?

He couldn't understand, he really couldn't.

"Ten years of wandering, without finding what I want, that's fine, but now I just want to go with the flow, is that so hard?"

Rozen sighed deeply to the sky.

Perhaps, since the day when humanity faced incineration by the flames, he was destined to never have a peaceful life again?

It might be better to say that under such a crisis of human history being incinerated, it was already a great blessing for him to be able to wander through one world after another unrelated to Chaldea.

"But now I just want to rest for a while, is that not allowed?"

Rozen sighed, not knowing how many times he had sighed.

Unaware of Rozen's mood, Ikki could only continue to plead desperately.

"If this continues, not to mention the dormitory, even this student dormitory will be demolished by those two, and only you can stop them, please, Rozen!"

Ikki cried with a mournful face, desperately shaking Rozen's body.

Even if Ikki wanted to intervene, it would be too difficult for him to rush into that battlefield full of blazing fire and endless fighting with his weak magic power.

"Fine, consider it me owing you."

Rozen rolled his eyes, or rather, he was too lazy to continue watching this commotion unfold and stood up straight.

During this time, each piece of furniture flew towards Rozen, but he simply tilted his head to avoid them all.

Seeing Stella and Shizuku still angrily shouting at each other, constantly wielding their Devices, Rozen smirked.

"Enough! Both of you!"

With that, magic power finally surged around Rozen.

Around him, silver chains suddenly flashed like silver meteors, bursting into silver sparks, and flew out like shooting stars.

"...!?"

"...!?"

Surprisingly, Stella and Shizuku, both outstanding Blazers among the freshmen, immediately reacted as soon as the silver chains emerged.

""Lævateinn"!"

""Yoishigure"!"

Without hesitation, both of them stopped their attacks against each other and turned to face the direction from which the silver chains were coming. One raised a flaming greatsword high, while the other lifted a small dagger dripping with water foam, both aiming to strike at the approaching silver chains with powerful slashes.

However...

"What...!?"

"How is this possible...!?"

The next moment, Stella and Shizuku were both stunned.

Because, as the silver chains approached, they seemed to come to life, swiftly and flexibly dodging Stella and Shizuku's Devices, perfectly avoiding the oncoming slashes.

Then, the chains, without giving Stella and Shizuku a chance to react, swiftly wrapped around their bodies like snakes and tightened abruptly.

"Ah!"

"Guh!"

Stella and Shizuku both exclaimed in surprise and discomfort as they were securely bound by the silver chains, unable to exert their considerable strength.

In their hands, the flaming greatsword and the water-dripping dagger lost their magical support and slipped from their grasp.

"Ugh...! It's these chains again...!"

Stella struggled instinctively, but her powerful strength couldn't be exerted at all.

"My magic..."

Shizuku faced the binding of the Injunction Shackles for the first time and realized that she couldn't use her magic, her face changing color.

Thus, under the power of the Injunction Shackles, the magical power on the bodies of the two girls gradually disappeared, leaving them unable to resist and bound there with a hint of despair in their struggling.

It wasn't until then that the rumbling and commotion that swept through the entire dormitory finally subsided.

"Phew..."

Ikki breathed a sigh of relief as he peeked out from behind the bed, wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking relieved.

Rozen, on the other hand, surveyed the completely ruined rooms that had been connected and covered his forehead.

Not long after, the people in the first-year dormitory appeared here, trembling with fear, and began to investigate the situation.

Naturally, the academy's security and dormitory managers also came, and even the teachers came to check the situation.

The commotion that happened here immediately spread throughout the academy.

On the second day of the new semester at Hagun Academy, it began in this way.
