I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

A famous line from a villain in a movie I once saw.

He said that when established order is destroyed and chaos is created, pandemonium ensues. And isn’t chaos supposed to be fair?

Indeed…

Though it was a line spoken by a fictional character, seeing this pandemonium, it was truly an understandable statement.

‘Though rather than fairness, it seems more like everyone’s just gone mad together…’

The kidnapper girl was trembling in fear of this situation, pulling the bike’s throttle. Her hands gripping the handlebars like a lifeline were white with tension.

“Ugh… uuugh…!”

Vroom—!

“Ahaha…☆”

I looked back in bewilderment at the escalating situation.

Vroom—!

Vroom—!

Hundreds of students chasing us.

The pursuit, which had already lost its original purpose and rules, was growing increasingly heated as they began fighting each other while colliding.

Numerous red-haired girls were rampaging according to the burning instincts within. That rampage was becoming violence, being hotly released.

-Hyaaah—!!

-Fighting!! War!! Racing!! Hyaaah—!!

-The lead is mine—!!

-Who are you!! Get lost!! Hyaaah—!!

Numerous metallic sounds beginning to be heard here and there.

Unable to contain their inner excitement, they began taking out weapons to prevent others from getting ahead.

“Stop poking weakly and let’s blow it up all at once—!!”

“That’s what I wanted—!!”

The ether skills of students finally bursting out. Intense flames erupted from the weapons they were holding.

“Take this—!!”

“Come on—!!”

Boom—!!

Flames flickering over the traces left by bikes.

Numerous flames burning red here and there in the wilderness.

Hundreds of them gathering to form a sea of hot stars.

Another star causing a supernova explosion.

Boooom—!!

This place was now a red universe of madness.

The goal of rescuing me was no longer even in their minds.

The festival for fighting had degenerated into a festival for chasing, and the festival for chasing had changed into a festival for defeating others.

Everything was just an excuse to fight.

Amidst that…

There was one racing ahead faster than anyone.

Vroom—!

Eir desperately maintained the lead of the pursuit group. In one hand she held a sword wrapped in bright magenta flames, while controlling the bike’s handlebars with the other hand as she raced forward.

Eir dodged hundreds of racing bikes left and right, gradually approaching us.

“Move aside!! Get out of the way—!! I was originally going to enter the Fighting Festival—!!”

“There’s no such thing!! If you came here, the boss is just another warrior too—!! Isn’t that right?!”

“What?! You bastards…!”

Perhaps hearing that shout?

Fiona’s heated reply was heard from the distant airship.

[That’s right—!! Everyone is equal on the battlefield!! The boss taught us that, so we follow!! Therefore, we attack the boss too—!! Hyaaah—!!]

And like a wolf’s howling, the red girls all howled together.

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

Now that everyone in was going wild together, the fairest chaos was arriving. That chaos inevitably came for Eir too.

Vroom—!

Dozens of students drove their bikes to overtake the most likely leader. They shouted with cheerful smiles:

“Hyah—!! Take this—!!”

“Kuhahaha!! I’ve always wanted to beat the boss once—!!”

“If we all stab at once, even the boss’s butt will hurt, right?”

“I’m graduating next year!! Just attack!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

Dozens of bikes approached simultaneously, their weapons in one hand shining with flames. Seeing that, Eir’s eyes burned with fighting spirit.

“You crazy bitches think you can look down on me because I was away for a while…!! Alright!! Come on—!! I’m right here!! I’ll show you why I’m your boss—!!”

Eir shouted boldly.

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

students charging in.

The hundreds of pursuers had now changed direction to chase after just one person racing through the wilderness. That one person was their senior who had been racing alongside them.

They were now racing again to win.

One girl threateningly fired undulating flames like a snake from her spear.

“This is the flame the boss taught me—!! I use it better than the boss now—!!”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Did you forget I told you not to use just flames!!”

Eir resolutely swung her spine-like sword, cutting through the long flame. Then she kicked away the charging bike to subdue it.

Boom—!

The girl who had swung the spear protected her body with ether, laughing while falling sideways.

“Kuhaha—!! As expected of the boss—!!”

“Shut up! Next!”

And now numerous red girls rushed in wielding their weapons to attack their senior.

Even amidst all this chaos.

There was only one person in their hearts they most wanted to defeat. So they instinctively charged towards Eir.

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hyaaah—!!”

Everything was just an excuse for that.

Eir swung her sword there to the point of forgetting even herself. She responded in a state of selflessness, facing her own journey contained in the weapons swung by her juniors.

“This is the swordsmanship the boss taught me!”

“Sloppy! When did I tell you to swing like an idiot like that!”

Another supernova explodes as they advance.

“Then how about taking this greatsword the boss personally trained me with!!”

“You’re still just doing what you’re told, have you changed at all!”

Fighting.

Winning.

Fighting.

Winning…

How many times did this repeat?

Eir won while facing numerous traces of ‘herself’.

The husky-voiced girl on the distant airship who had watched everything burst into laughter. She too was drawn into this situation as a student.

[Huhahaha!! Then take this attack from the 2nd ranked too, boss!! If you still think you’re the strongest in —!!]

“Come on—!!”

Because for them, everything was just an excuse to fight.

Fiona threw away the loudspeaker terminal inside the airship and shot down like an arrow, wielding a red spear.

A huge diagonal.

A straight line of flames.

Taaat!

It was an attack containing everything, wrapping her body in flaming ether from high up in the sky.

Fiona attacked Eir sincerely, putting her all into it.

“Hyaaah—!!”

“Hehehe…!”

Eir, her eyes now half-closed, grinned and reached out her hand towards the giant flaming arrow. Following that gesture, the flames seemed to rotate the sword with a will of their own.

At some point… Eir was no longer handling the sword, but the flames beyond it.

“Whew…! Whew…! Hehehe…! Hahaha!! This is like our school!! All crazy bitches—!! You really can’t see this stuff outside—!!”

The flaming spear and shield collided.

A thunderous roar.

Scorching heat.

Another ‘self’ passes by.

And finally, only one flame remained in the vast wilderness universe. There was now only one clearly burning trajectory.

After hundreds of collisions and dozens of clashes… only the crimson flame remained racing.

Whoosh!

Eir pointed her sword rotating with flames at me from mid-air. That appearance was like a flaming wheel racing through the wilderness.

True to its name, [Crimson Trajectory].

“…I can see it now—! [Spiral]—!! Even the faint scars remaining on your body!! I can see all the ether that passed through them now—!!”

Eir shouted, leaving numerous ‘selves’ behind:

“I’ve finally caught up—!!! Thank you, you bastards—!!!”

Whoosh!!

Hearing that roar, the red girls lying fallen across the wilderness raised their hands.

After wandering through numerous places.

In the end, Eir reached the realm of wuji fighting with those she cherished most in the place she loved most.

“…”

It was certainly a scene filled with passionate growth, but…

“…”

‘We’ couldn’t say anything watching it.

While the students were fighting fiercely.

Alvit’s group, who had caught up by now, were watching that scene together beside me. And the kidnapper girl was also watching Eir’s desperate struggle with sparkling eyes, mouth agape.

“Is this… …? Amazing…”

Somehow, her future path seemed to be set.

Anyway…

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Um…

That’s all well and good, but.

What exactly did I do?

It seemed I had gotten carried away playing an overly extravagant game of tag with the kids for no good reason in the middle of the night.

‘I’m sorry…’

As I was holding my forehead, wondering if I should do naked prostration in front of …

“…Senior.”

“Yes?”

Alvit smiled while driving her bike next to me. Her thick eyebrows slightly curved upwards, and her troubled smile contained a warmth like looking at a mischievous younger sibling.

“Huhu. As expected, it’s like this again.”

“U-Um…?”

“This time, you were trying to give Senior Eir a chance to grow, right? Really… if you’re going to do this, please give us a hint instead of suddenly acting.”

“…”

There wasn’t a hint of doubt in the eyes of the brown bob-haired girl looking at me. And Kara and Rota riding in the approaching vehicle also nodded in agreement hearing those words.

“Oh, was that it? I didn’t know…”

“Well, when Senior suddenly comes up with a solution, she acts like it’s a prank.”

“Haha, come to think of it, at and too… Senior comrade was always the first to step up.”

…

Indeed…

No one would want to see this scarred whore’s naked prostration, right?

‘Yes, let’s go with that.’

I answered with a broad smile.

“Ahaha☆ You caught me—☆ It was a sudden idea… A-Ahaha…☆ Hey, you shouldn’t judge people too much by appearances♪ And a proper lady shouldn’t take hostages either—☆”

“What, so that’s what it was—?!”

“Yes♪”

“Then, I won’t take hostages or anything again, so please tell them to look after me! I want to quit being a delinquent and transfer to !”

“Yes♪ Of course—☆ I’ll explain so everyone understands—☆”

…

Anyway, let’s go with that.

* * *

We all gathered to rest at the delinquent student camp where the kidnapper girl had nested. Since they hadn’t particularly run rampant here, their hideout was like a very clean campsite.

“Huhaha! So that’s what it was!”

“Hehe, well… it doesn’t matter. It was fun.”

“Ah, I want to do it again next time.”

“What should we put up as a prize?”

After a fulfilling fight, they were hit with regret… no, being chivalrous and wonderful girls, they generously accepted my clumsy excuses.

Like satiated beasts, the students were overflowing with composure.

They even patted the kidnapper girl’s body and offered to go measure her for a uniform.

Eir was showing off her newly awakened technique to her juniors during the fight.

The sword blade had evolved into a flying sword.

Eir could now attack by flying her sword in mid-air and at mid-range.

“Yap!! [Wheel of Heaven’s Correction]—!!”

Woong woong woong—!!

“Ohhh!! It’s like a wheel floating in the air!”

“Hyaaah!!”

Clap clap clap…

“…Huhu.”

Alvit burst into laughter seeing that sight. And she was soothing the lingering excitement from the game of tag while sipping tea brought by students from other schools who had followed.

“Really, we can’t keep up with this school’s atmosphere.”

“Yeah… B-But♪ This is ’s charm, right?”

“That’s true. Living without thinking, following your heart’s desires… seems romantic too.”

I agree with that.

If I hadn’t been Clara, I probably would have come here too. But I didn’t say that openly in front of my juniors.

‘Though it’s good to live as your heart desires, I should refrain from impulsive actions from now on…’

Anyway… I felt relieved that everything ended well.

“I’m glad everything ended well—☆”

“What do you mean, ended? Lara?”

“…?!”

“I rushed here because I heard you were kidnapped… but…”

“…?!”

…

No way.

Ei… no way.

“…”

I slowly turned around.

“…”

“…”

There was a silver-haired girl staring blankly at me. And beside her, a wolf-eared girl was muttering ‘Kugh… the president’s favor…’ while looking on.

“…”

“…”

Ah.

Is this the angle for kiss-pecks until my lips are swollen today?

Or should I do naked prostration?

Maybe both…

“…”

“…”

Awkward silence.

“…”

I scratched the back of my head and winked.

“Teheh…☆”
