I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

"I couldn't stop the Prophet... Please, help Clara, who's trapped inside the World Tree...!! Stop the Prophet from putting all nine worlds to sleep within the World Tree—!!"

"What do you mean she's trapped inside the World Tree?!"

At that moment, a massive tremor erupted from the distant World Tree.

It was the sound of the world collapsing at an accelerated pace.

Thoom—!!

"...?!"

"...?!"

All the students turned to look at the distant World Tree.

The sky, shrouded in an opaque veil. Sparks flew as ether and the abyss clashed around the faintly glowing World Tree beyond the horizon.

The Prophet was moving the World Tree, a force that no one thought could be moved by anyone other than the power of fate itself.

As the group realized the true divine force that was moving the laws of this universe, a heavy silence fell upon them.

Then, once again, the door was flung open with a crash. The tense group reflexively turned to look.

Thud—!!

A blonde-haired figure came running into the spire, her hair flying wildly. It was Anna, carrying someone in her arms as she sprinted from afar.

Bell stared at her with a look of exasperation and yelled.

"Yaaah?! Why does everyone keep startling us today?!"

But Anna had no time to respond to Bell's irritated words.

"Oww...! That hurt...! Anyway! Everyone, we're in big trouble!! It's like—!"

Before Anna could finish her frantic words, another pink-haired girl poked her head out from Anna's arms.

"...Everyone's here. Is this fate as well?"

It was Verdandi, the spirit of the sword. But this time, instead of her usual innocent expression, she wore a determined look.

"It has begun."@@novelbin@@

"...!"

The words seemed abrupt, but no one could miss the multiple meanings they held.

Verdandi toddled over to Rota, who was standing in the center of the Sage’s Chamber, and looked at the three students of the Central Prism Academy, who shone with crimson, navy, and orange light.

"...In the end, the [Three Heroes] have gathered, and the apocalypse has begun."

Alvitr was the one to object to those words.

"...The world will not end."

"..."

"Our seniors, we, and all of us... have prepared for this."

"...That's right."
