Hero's Mother After – Chapter 20 The Worst Case Scenario - This Country Might Be Gone
Mel's POV
Is the Royal Academy stupid?
I am only the "Honorary Chairman" of that place.
And yet, they rejected a student I recommended...
It's like smearing mud on my face.
I guess there must be some excellent students in the school, since Serena-kun was dropped...
Shall I do a test after a long time?
Using teleportation magic, I arrived in front of Royal Academy.
By now, everyone should be in class.
"Amplification Spell."
'Oh, long time no see! It's the Great Sage, Mel! It seems this academy has improved quite a bit while I wasn't looking... I'm delighted.
But since you rejected a student I recommended, I assume both the teachers and the students must be outstanding? So, in 30 minutes, I will unleash a massive explosive spell towards this academy... Everyone, do your best to set up barriers... This is just a test... If my recommended Serena can handle this, then you all should manage something like this... If you fails, please acknowledge that there was an error in your admission.'
Since Serena has Ceres's blood, he should easily deflect something like this.
So, if they can't, then the students of this academy are below Serena...
And it should be treated as a complete error.
I mean, even if it is a recommendation, they have 'intentionally dropped a student who was more outstanding than the enrolled students'.
Anyway, before getting caught, should I escape into the sky?
It seems that they truly believed, didn't they?
Well, their barriers are so thin... they're trying so hard... but they'll break for sure.
And I've been refining my magic for hundreds of years.
Zect used to partially destroy the imperial palace in the past... But now, I could easily demolish about 20 palaces like that... Around 20, to be precise!
I even helped dismantle it when they moved the castle.
It's about time, 30 minutes.
Shall I go?
"The conveniently all-destructive spell, where no one dies but everything is destroyed."
As a sorcerer of my caliber, I can even accomplish something like this.
Even though it's for the sake of Serena-kun, I don't want to resort to "mass murder," so to speak.
Headmaster's POV
Countless gigantic magic arrays have appeared in the sky above the Royal Magic Academy.
"What in the world have we doneeee?"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to dieee!"
"The Great Sage and the protector of humanity, Mel-sama, want to kill us?"
"Goddess Ishtas... please save me..."
This is bad... If that magic array is a "mass-destructive spell," everyone in this academy will die if we don't do something.
I am the headmaster... I need to protect everyone.
"Even so, are you still a member of the academy... We must cast a defensive barrier spell together... There are so many magicians here... If we combine our powers... Ah!"
A huge pillar of light falls from the magic circle.
It feels as if the final judgment is being passed.
No one can defend against something like this...
Why... Why would the Great Sage do this...
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble.
The central tower, the symbol of this academy, crumbles down... The school building collapses underneath it.
Not only that, but the pillars of light continue to multiply, causing buildings to crumble and vanish...
"Why... Whyyyyyy!"
There is no way to protect everyone.
Everyone will die along with this academy.
The buildings crumble and break apart... and it doesn't end there. They turn into particles of light and disappear.
Finally, even humans are enveloped in light.
And as particles, people will die...
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.
"Kyaaaa! Why am I naked?!" screamed a startled voice, filled with shock and disbelief.
"No way, even though our family tradition is not to show our skin until marriage... nooo!" protested another girl, her voice laced with a mix of frustration and disappointment.
"All the women are naked. What a feast for the eyes, a feast..." remarked a boy, his tone carrying a hint of mischief and amusement.
I'm alive... Everyone is alive, but the school... the school building is gone.
Not only that... clothes and everything.
It's fine for an old man like me to be naked.
But here, the children of the upper class... the sons, it's one thing, but the daughters...
You can understand without me saying it, right?
And...
"Wowwww! Amazing! There are young and beautiful women completely naked!" exclaimed another boy, his excitement palpable and his voice filled with awe.
"Even Princess Lulu is naked! Incredible!" chimed in another boy, his voice filled with astonishment and a mix of admiration and disbelief.
"Oh no! Someone, give me clothes, something to cover myself!" Princess Lulu pleaded, her voice carrying a sense of panic and vulnerability.
But no matter how much she cries, it's futile.
There isn't a single leaf here.
Everyone has become an exhibition of naked bodies for the people in the city.
And something is coming down from the sky.
It's...
"Great Sage Mel-sama? ...Long time no see... Why would you do such a terrible thing? Even if it's Mel-sama..."
"Headmaster... It's because you all engaged in misconduct! There is individual who was not allowed to enter this academy despite his exceptional talents."
"I don't know anything about that... But even so..."
"You underestimate me! Ignoring the fact that I am the guarantor?! I am the honorary chairman of this academy... The talents and connections of the person I am guarantee for is great... Well, you'll find out soon enough... I'll let it slide as a special favor, but I won't help you if the other two recommenders try anything funny (laughs)."
"But with the academy disappearing... the children of the royal and noble families will be humiliated... We can't allow any more terrible things to happen... Mel-sama, I don't understand why one student is being subjected to such treatment. We can't oppose you, the Great Sage... but this is going too far!"
"Are you an idiot? Don't you know who is Serena, who was denied admission despite my guarantee? Investigate who the recommenders are immediately."
"But... everything is gone."
"Then ask the person in charge... I'll tell you, those recommendation letters are authentic."
"Sigh... Understood. I'll investigate promptly... What on earth is going on?"
"You'd better hurry... It's going to be a big problem."
"What do you mean by a big problem?"
"Well, worst-case scenario, this country might cease to exist... I won't intervene... Well then..."
She's like a monster, really.
To make the academy vanish with a single whim...
But nobody can oppose her... It seems we have no choice but to accept it silently once again.
Sigh...
For now, I'll contact the royal palace, and then I have to talk to the person in charge of Serena... I guess.
