I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

Following Eir’s suggestion, we arrived at by airship from with a sightseeing mood.

There, a sudden tense Clara event angle appeared out of nowhere.

No matter how much the original work had changed.

It wouldn’t be Clara if she didn’t get kidnapped.

So I did it.

‘I suddenly did it, but… will the juniors follow along well?’

The fresh 2nd year delinquent student boss who kidnapped(?) me. She was busily fleeing while driving a cheap ether bike she had gotten from somewhere.

The sound of the cheap engine resounded loudly on the road.

Vrooom—!

‘This is… Clara’s view.’

The view of one being kidnapped.

Feelings of helplessness and emptiness rushed in, and my heart pounded at the thought of not knowing when I might suffer some indecent act. Even knowing it wouldn’t actually happen, a strange tension arose.

‘Is the human heart so easily deceived by fantasy?’

The sensation of deliberately being subjected to by a weaker person.

Somehow a lewd laugh tickled my chest.

‘When I was helplessly subjected to kiss-pecks under Hilde, I was truly scared… but this can be a kind of play in its own way.’

Unlike that prison of desire entangled with softness and pink, the scenery of this moment was fresh and new.

A rather comical sight.

I held that appreciation in my heart and shouted:

“Kyaaah—☆ I’m being kidnapped—☆”

“Sh-Shut up! Be quiet, it’s annoying—!!”

“Okaaay—☆”

I was screaming while clinging to the back seat, but I got scolded by my 2nd year delinquent junior.

“Uuugh…!”

She seemed desperate.

Among the many people at the scene and our group, only the involved delinquent boss was seriously feeling a threat to her life.

‘Don’t tell me she thinks is seriously trying to exterminate her?’

It was ironic.

Only the perpetrator of the crime misunderstood the situation alone.

‘Even though she can use [Wave Ether], which makes her quite strong in the academy city… Is she still no match for ’s madness…? I should tell the kids to take it easy later.’

Vrooom—!

The road now heading towards the outskirts.

I stopped irritating her nerves with screaming and quietly looked at the sky. Numerous stars floated in the summer night sky of the northern wilderness. We were fleeing following those stars.

“Huff…! Hah!”

And rough breathing was heard in my ears. It seemed to be the sound of the delinquent boss’s excitement at a successful escape.

She was feeling the thrill of a daring deviation.

The delinquent boss exhaled her excitement at overcoming fear and shouted loudly:

“Hehehe…! I’ve shaken them all off—!! I’m going to run to the hideout like this, grab my stuff and escape—!!”

“Ohhh!! Fighting—☆ Let’s run away together to the end of the horizon!”

“What?! You’re just a kidnapped hostage!! I’m going to abandon you at the hideout!!”

“Ohhh… how mean…☆”

But normally when you take a hostage, don’t you just quietly let them go when they’re no longer useful?

“…”

I don’t know since I’ve never been kidnapped… but this one seems like a fool, but not a particularly bad person.

“Hehehe!! Hahaha!!”

Though she got caught up in this, I was glad she seemed to be making somewhat fun memories. Anyway, isn’t it good if we can laugh together?

Her laughter made me feel good too.

It was good for Clara, good for the delinquent student.

It’s a happy day♪

A joyous day♪

Ahaha…☆

So the hostage and kidnapper laughed together.

“Hahahahahahaha!!!”

“Ahahahahahaha—☆”

But the delinquent boss looked this way and shouted angrily. Her face was tinged with bewilderment.

“Wh-What’s with you!! Don’t laugh!! We’re getting close—!!”

“Boo…☆”

At that moment.

Numerous faint noises were heard behind us.

A sound like it was resounding even outside a concert hall.

[…!]

“Hm?”

“Uh…?”

Noise heard from far away.

Amidst the sounds resounding from the ballroom of violence, the dance sounds of numerous ladies were still mixed in. Their party was continuing.

But it was strange.

By now, except for the few chasing us, the noise should be gradually fading. Despite the distance, the volume of the noise showed no sign of diminishing.

‘It’s hard to hear clearly since it’s outside my perception range… but is it slowing down?’

No…

‘Is the sound… getting closer…?!’

The kidnapper and I realized that and quickly turned our heads to look behind. And an amazing sight was unfolding there.

“…!”

“…!”

A dazzling light chasing us.

The airship going between and . That massive aircraft was leisurely following us from beyond the horizon.

A searchlight burst out, illuminating us. And soon after, a huge loudspeaker spewed out a girl’s husky voice.

[Hey!! Hey!! Stop, will you!! You bastards!! Stop fighting and look over there!! Isn’t our sister!! Being kidnapped—!!]

-Pink!! I saw pink!! Hyaaah—!

-Let’s go rescue our sister—!

-Uwaaah!! Where is she?! Where’d she go!! Catch her—!!

-Anyway give me more fights—!!

-Hiyaaah!!

[With the boss not here now!! I, ‘Fiona’, ranked 2nd in ’s fighting hierarchy, declare—!! The content of the festival has changed—!!]

Red hair visible even from far away.

A girl with short hair shorter than Alvit’s grabbed the loudspeaker terminal on the airship and shouted loudly like a rock singer.

[Run through the rough wilderness!! To the one who rescues our sister—!! I’ll give the right to be a candidate for this year’s ‘Fighting Festival’—!!]

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

[Let the race—!! Begin—!!]

Vroom—!

Vroom—!

Vroom—!

And matching that incredibly loud broadcast, huge cheers were heard from all around.

The cheers of numerous spectators riding various vehicles and chasing after us.

-Waaaaaah—!!!

They were clearly people who had come from other schools.

They shouted while shaking their heads or honking their car horns.

Everyone seemed out of their minds, soaked in dopamine and excitement.

-Waaaaaah—!!!

It had suddenly changed from watching a fight to watching a race, but everyone was cheering and chasing with crazy tension.

I was momentarily flustered.

‘Where did they follow us from?! And didn’t Eir say she was entering the Fighting Festival this year…?’

The Fighting Festival held around autumn.

It was a fighting tournament where only one person from each school could participate.

That participation right was naturally given by each school’s student council president. So Fiona’s impromptu declaration as the next presidential candidate seemed like quite a risky act of overstepping her authority.

But didn’t care about such trivial issues.

The sound of hundreds of bikes approaching from the distant horizon.

An end-of-the-century scene.

Vroom—!

Vroom—!

Vroom—!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

A scene that would suit mohawk hairstyles and leather jackets.

But riding the hundreds of bikes pouring out from the horizon were girls in red uniforms. And among them were Alvit’s group with dumbfounded expressions.

‘The situation… seems to have gotten a bit big.’

The kidnapper and I swallowed hard seeing that sight.

“…”

“…”

Hey, I wonder if we can make it out alive…?

* * *

Eir was pointing at the airship floating in the sky. Though stuttering in bewilderment, she desperately shouted at the top of her lungs.

“Fiona!! You bastard!! Y-You!! I-I’m here!! Your boss is here!! You don’t have that kind of authority yet, you bastard—!!”

A voice thundering through heaven and earth befitting a [Unique Ether] ability user. Then Fiona’s puzzled reply was heard from the airship’s loudspeaker.

[Oh, boss was here? Are you trying to participate too?]

“What participation!! I’m participating in this year’s Fighting Festival!! You haven’t even awakened [Unique Ether] yet—!!”

Fiona tilted her head holding the terminal for a while, then scratched her short hair and answered:

[Ah… I don’t know. Whatever, I’ll just awaken [Unique Ether] then… And isn’t it your fault for leaving your post? Anyway the race has begun!! Run!! Run warriors—!! I’ll chase you with the airship!!]

The airship gradually accelerating. Chasing after a single bike only visible as a dot in the distance.

Eir slapped her forehead with her palm and lamented.

“Damn it! These crazy bitches can’t be trusted to handle things well on their own!”

“S-Sorry… Our Senior…!”

“Huh?”

“I said I’m sorry!!”

Vroom—!

Alvit awkwardly spoke while catching up on a bike next to her. Beside her, vehicles carrying her classmates were chasing.

Eir shook her head roughly and said:

“No, it’s my fault for expecting those crazy bitches to play nicely on their own! Move aside! I’ll catch [Spiral] now!! I’m entering the Fighting Festival—!!”

“W-Wait!! It’s not catching, but rescuing Senior…!!”

“Wait for me [Spiral]!! I’ll definitely catch you for the Fighting Festival—!!”

Vrooooom—!!

But Alvit’s protests were drowned out by the sound of Eir roughly pulling the throttle.

And numerous bikes made bizarre sounds as they raced towards the distant wilderness.

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

-Hyaaah—!!

Numerous spectators cheered while chasing in cars.

Numerous red female students rode bikes and raced off.

“…”

Alvit muttered limply while watching the scene of madness unfolding ahead:

“What… the hell is wrong with this damn school…?”

“So? What are we going to do now?”

Kara asked while catching up next to Alvit in the vehicle she was driving. Beside her sat Rota with a dumbfounded expression.

“…”

Alvit suddenly recalled the numerous eccentric acts Clara had committed at the beginning of the semester.

Looking back on them one by one, they were truly troublesome actions.

But because of them she became ’s student council president. And because of them she was able to grow by clashing with numerous people.

“…”

Growth for herself was always waiting behind the incidents and accidents.

Indeed, was all of that really coincidence?

At least to Alvit, it didn’t feel that way.

‘To begin with, Senior Clara never made things difficult to harass us… And she sacrifices everything to help in truly dangerous moments…’

Clara’s intentions and thoughts were still hard to understand… but at least there had never been any malicious intent in her actions.

“At least, Senior has never had bad intentions towards us. Maybe she’s planning something on her own this time too?”

“…I see.”

“Then should we chase after her?”

Alvit grinned at Rota’s words. She just felt like following along with whatever Clara had done without thinking too much.

“Yeah!”

Alvit pulled the bike’s throttle and stuck close behind Eir who was going ahead.

And when she looked forward, an incredible scene was unfolding.

Dark night.

Beyond the northern wilderness, red girls were racing along with numerous sounds. Though it was an overwhelming sight like countless flames burning, it was ridiculous due to the bizarre sounds and directionless nature.

“Hahah.”

Seeing that, Alvit somehow started laughing.

“Pfft.”

“Hehehe…!”

Kara and Rota too… began to laugh helplessly at this foolish sight.
