Chapter 243 The Banquet Party Falls into Chaos
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
—Liliana—
Back to a little while ago, when Alfred had just activated the bombs planted throughout the academy.
The huge explosion threw the students who were enjoying the party in the banquet hall into chaos. Some timid girls even screamed in panic because they were too scared.
At this time, the principal Alberta and the principal's secretary Sabrina were nowhere to be seen.
The instructors in the academy were somewhat leaderless and unable to properly direct the students to evacuate.
The last person to jump out was Morgan V. Carlisle, an instructor of alchemy and puppet alchemy.
He is also in charge of the puppet combat courses for some senior students, and has certain achievements in the school, so the instructors temporarily decided to let him lead everyone.
Liliana was a little worried at first because she had heard that Morgan was not a particularly decent person.
And the first time she saw Morgan was when Alfred was dueling with Lucius, the runner-up second grader.
At that time, Morgan was very partial to Lucius, so Liliana didn't like him.
But seeing Morgan seriously directing the instructors and members of the student union, Liliana temporarily calmed down.
While everyone was busy preparing for evacuation and trying to figure out the current situation.
Many magic circles suddenly appeared in the banquet hall.
All the students who were not originally in the banquet hall fell out of these space magic circles.
"W-what's going on?"
Someone shouted in surprise.
The mentors were also confused by the situation.
However, they soon realized that something big had happened in the academy and immediately changed their original plan. They decided to use the banquet hall as a temporary shelter and guard the five entrances of the banquet hall until they could figure out the situation.
(It seems that there is no problem, so I should do what I need to do next.)
Liliana calmly walked through the crowd and came to Rose's side.
Rose, a member of the student council, was trying to calm down several panicked second-year girls.
"Hey, Lily?"
Liliana did not answer Rose, but grabbed her hand roughly and pulled her body towards herself.
A dark purple dagger slashed across the place where Rose had just stood.
The eerie aura emanating from the dagger might have been accompanied by some powerful curse.
One of the second-year girls whom Rose had just comforted, the short-haired girl with light brown skin, smacked her lips.
She took a nimble step forward, intending to pursue and stab Rose a second time.
Liliana immediately summoned a long sword from her space ring and blocked the girl's attack.
"Tsk, you damned girl from the Christiana family, stop getting in my way!"
Liliana did not answer the other party, but pulled Rose behind her, gripped the sword and confronted the other party.
It took some time for the people around to realize what was happening, and they immediately distanced themselves from the light brown-skinned girl who attacked Rose.
"Who are you to attack Illya and Aaliyah?!"
Morgan put on a somewhat arrogant and tough attitude and yelled at the light brown-skinned girl.
The girl ignored Morgan and planned to grab a nearby student as a hostage.
However, Liliana had already hidden her puppet, Lei Longan, on the ceiling of the banquet hall.
Dozens of lightning bolts fell continuously, forcing the girl back out of the crowd.
Seeing this situation, Morgan immediately led several mentors to surround the girl.
"Teacher Carlisle (Morgan), please leave this to me. The dagger in that girl's hand has a powerful curse attached to it. I have an item that can resist the curse, so it should be fine if I'm just scratched.
But for others, they might die directly from the curse."
Liliana warned, keeping her eyes fixed on the enemy in front of her.
The opponent's movements and agile figure clearly showed that she was an assassin who had received very rigorous training. The light brown-skinned girl was like a black panther walking in the primitive jungle. If she was not careful, she would bite off the throat of her prey.
As soon as Liliana finished speaking, the door of the banquet hall was violently opened from the outside.
A large number of strange dark-skinned monsters poured into the banquet hall.
"What... I get it. Christiana-san, please be careful."
Morgan said, and immediately organized the instructors and students to deal with the monsters that suddenly broke into the hall.
"If you don't mind, please let me help you."
The head of the second grade, senior sister Sophia, took out a short bow.
She also summoned her own puppet, a lightning rose bird with lightning wrapped around its body.
"Then I'll leave it to Senior Sophia."
"Tsk, stop being so arrogant, do you think you can all survive today?!"
The light brown girl yelled, pulled out a throwing knife from her arms and threw it at Liliana.
Although her attack did catch Liliana off guard, the flying knife was knocked down by the lightning magic released from the air by Lei Longan.
Liliana rushed towards the girl and swung her sword at her mercilessly.
The girl held up the dagger with one hand to block, and tried to pull out another dagger from her waist and stab Liliana in the abdomen.
Although she is stronger than Liliana as an assassin, her movements are not as fast as Liliana's.
Before the girl could draw her dagger, Liliana kicked her in the side.
"Woo! Bastard, are you really a knight? Why are your legs so unsteady?"
The girl who was kicked away rolled on the ground for a few times, and after getting up, she glared at Liliana fiercely.
"It's a shame. I haven't been officially awarded the title of knight yet. And I don't think you, an assassin, are qualified to judge how I should fight."
Liliana retorted dumbfoundedly.
If her sister Violet or her former fencing coach had seen what she had just done, Liliana would probably have been scolded.
But it would be better to be scolded by her sister Violet than to be attacked by the enemy.
"Tsk, what a disgusting girl."
The girl smacked her lips, dodged the arrow shot by Sophia with a somewhat awkward posture, then closed the distance between her and Liliana and launched an attack.
Behind Liliana, the students were in a panic.
A fourth-grade boy took out a dagger from his bosom while no one was paying attention.
