A voice of salvation resounded from the opposite direction just when I was at my wit's end
"What may you all be doing?"
It was a beautiful voice, as pure and serene as a crystal clear stream.
"Hu---, Yo, You are... you can't be..."
As soon as Polish-kun turned towards the voice source, he slurred on his words, his voice husky.
His voice was quite shaky.
I was surrounded by them, so I couldn't see who that person was.
"Hahaha, seems like you already know about us, eh? Then I believe you guys already know the consequences you're going to face now, right?"
The voice belonged to a girl. Though, the voice sounds like a beautiful woman masquerading as a male.
"N-No, err, I think there's some kind of misunderstanding. G, Guild Master, you too say something please!"
Polish-kun turned to Saturn, his voice stumbling as if he was powerless against that persona.
However, he couldn't have any more wrong in opting to their guild master for help.
"I don't know who you're, but can you stop sticking your nose in our affair? I'm currently busy recruiting Brave to our guild."
"Guild Master!?"
Polish-kun screamed. And almost at the time, I felt pressure emanating from multiple people.
Hmm? So, it's a group? It didn' take long for me to know the identity of rescuer.
"Ahahaha. So you're trying to poach Brave, I see. I can't overlook this. Princess will definitely be sad then. ——Very well, capture them."
" " "Yes!" " "
It happened in an instant.
The people in black clothes who were standing behind the girl leaped at the <Best of the Best, the Guild Master> as soon as the girl issued her command.
"Wai--!?"
"W, Whatt is goi---!?"
"P, Please wai-gyaaa------!?"
"Huh, this person is a girl you know, it would be nice to have the chance to know her better."
"Hmph!"
"Uwa-wu-wu-wu!?"
"W, Why the shock......"
They took down all the boys surrounding me one by one. I was awed by their coordination, might and speed!
Just a touch of black baton, that was in the hand of black clothed people, was enough to induce paralysis in seniors, as they collapsed on the ground.
Is that <Stun Out Rod>?
If I remember right, it's a weapon exclusive only to guards of the Academy, an equipment to bring down the mobs, and also something that should be out of reach for players. Its ability is so terrifying that it can effortlessly bring anyone down, even if they have Resistance Lv10.
If they're carrying it, that means these people are......
Anyway, I really wish I can get this <Stun Out Rod>.
"Are you alright, Brave-kun?"
Then, an out-of-place voice, as serene as a crystal clear stream, addressed me amidst the suppression scene.
I shifted my gaze and true to the image that said voice was giving, a woman in a man's attire was walking here.
Her hair was honey-blonde, styled in a side-tail. She was wearing Academy' uniform, a snug fit to her body, though it was a boy's uniform for some reason. Nonetheless, it was as if that uniform was made for her, without coming off as unnatural.
Uniform she was donning has red embroidery, so a 3rd year student huh? Apparently, she's the leader of this black-clothed member's group.
"Thank you, You were a lifesaver."
"Haha, my pleasure."
I surveyed the surroundings and her again.
Oh, practically all of the boys are down on the floor, saving Saturn and a few others.
They sure are tenacious huh.
"Guh, you lot, what you have done to me, this Saturn, is unforgivable!"
"Noisy."
"A-ba-ba-ba-ba!?
Saturn's body shuddered as the <Stun Our Rod> was mercilessly driven into him. Uh-huh, and finally, Saturn is down too.
"Fufu, how pathetic you can be as guild master to be so easily taken down even before this sub-mas-byu-byu-byu!?"
"Damn it! What's their deal! and that weapon of theirs, like hell my muscle will lose--- A-ba-ba-ba-ba!?"
"Jilong, and Tom too!? That's why I told you guys to stand behind me, just deplorable can you be, there's no way attackers like you can stand at the frontline better than tank--ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!?"
And eventually, even Jiloong, Tom, and Helck were subdued too.
"......Suppression, completed. Drag them."
"Drag them, Drag them."
"I'm going to whip them into shape, how dare they think about making Princess sad."
"There are too many to carry, and classes are about to start, we don’t have time for that.”
"Toss them into the student's guidance room for now. Simmering them can wait for later."
"Just simmering them isn't enough. I am going to roast them too."
"Though they all look so unpalatable."
"Boss~, we're taking our leave first~"
"Haha, can you stop calling me Boss?"
Black clothed people seemed to have reached a conclusion as they dragged away the boy's bodies with themselves.
There were also some who applauded for the students at their beautiful execution from beginning to end. Though all the applauding ones were girls, while boys were conversely shivering, strange eh......
"Well, this should do. We will take our leave now."
"Ah, hold on."
"Hmm?"
Seeing them leaving without saying anything to them kinda doesn't bode well with me as I reflexively ended up stopping them from leaving.
Err, what should I say now? Well, I just want to know who they're mainly.
Let's ask her name.
"That, to reintroduce myself, I'm <Combat Department Year-1 Class-1> Zephyr. Thank you for helping me out. If you don't mind, can you tell me your name?"
"Haha. Honestly, I didn't think it is necessary to introduce, can't be helped since you asked, aye. I'm <Combat Department Year-3 Class-1> Meshilia."
"So, Meshilia-senpai is it. There is something I want to ask you if you don't mind?"
"Feel free to ask."
"I wonder if I can also get that <Stun Out Rod>?"
Yikes Me, didn't I have something more important to ask? Why did the first thing I ask turn to <Stun Out Rod>?"
Sigh, my mouth spoke on its own accord. What a blunder.
"Ahahaha. You're more curious about this wand than us, eh? You're an interesting person, Brave-kun. As the answer to your question, our guild is affiliated to the subordinate guild of the Public Morale Disciplinary Committee. We are allowed to suppress the unrest at our guild's discretion when there is some out there to cause trouble. This wand is one of the means to achieve that. We're also training ourselves, but well, often we can't be a match against high-ranking guild or advanced-job holders, so there you have it."
After a hearty laughter at my question, Meshilia-senpai politely explained. She's a nice person.
Besides, I also got to know the thing that was intriguing me. Hmph, my question was indeed spot-on huh. (No, It wasn't)
Subordinate guild of that Public Morale Disciplinary Committee she says, I wonder if it's that <Public Morale Disciplinary Committee>?
I see, that explains things. And <Stun Out Rod> seems to be loaned by the Academy.
It seems like I can't get this in reality either. I guess I should be able to get it if I joined Meshilia-senpai guild, but I can't bring myself to join just for this, I can only give up huh. What a pity.
"It's about time for the classes to start. We will take our excuse then. Ah, yeah, Zephyr-kun. Take care of Lana-dono, I know it's not easy, but I believe in you. Do your best. See ya."
"Huh, Lana?"
Meshilia-senpai then left with these parting remarks.
I was about to stop her again since I didn't get what she meant by 'She believes in me', but I heard the bell ringing.
I checked the time, and indeed, there was just 5 minutes left before the homeroom begins.
I had arrived quite earlier today, but this fiasco used up all the time. What a bad day. I guess I will ask her at our next meeting.
Even the black-clothed people have all disappeared, they're really clean in their work.
I head for the classroom while thinking about their impressive abilities.
That day, none of the quartet came back.
