The Academy Trial Opens

“Am I… going to… die like this…?”

Suddenly, a woman clad in a robe of feathers as dazzling as light stepped forward.

With a gentle smile like a goddess seeing off a dead soul about to fall into hell, she said,

“If you beg for your life, I may save you☆”

“P-please save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Weiss cried out with a speed like a spinal reflex.

Then his body began to fall slowly.

The one who saved Weiss from falling to his death was a woman as beautiful as a goddess reborn.

When she held out her hand, Weiss’s body was wrapped in a feather-like aura and began floating softly in the air.

“Fugyaaaah!? …I-I’m saved…! Y-you are the Great Saint, Lovrin…!”

Weiss looked at Lovrin with eyes as if seeing a god of salvation.

Lovrin also looked back at Weiss with eyes full of compassion.

A gentle time flowed between the one who had saved and the one who had been saved.

However, as soon as Lovrin realized Weiss had stopped begging for his life, she clenched the hand she had held out.

“Oh? Your begging for life has stopped. Here☆”

In that instant, the feathers wrapped around Weiss vanished, and Weiss plunged straight downward once again.

“Gyaaaah!? S-save me! Save meeeeeeeeeee!?”

Using her power, Lovrin toyed with Weiss’s body, making him float and drop through the air.

Weiss floated and sank like a tea bag being steeped.

Lovrin smiled in satisfaction, as if enjoying the taste of tea.

His pathetic state could be seen clearly from the residential district too, so before anyone knew it, the courtyard was full of student onlookers.

“Hey, look! Weiss is flying through the sky!?”

“No, that’s wrong! He’s being made to fly! There are people up near the top of the school building!”

“C-could those people possibly be…!?”

Once people had gathered, Lovrin fixed Weiss’s body in place right above the onlookers.

She took the Magical Amplification Device offered by Principal Kakerukun and began speaking into it.

The school building had a magical sound device for schoolwide broadcasts, and her voice echoed throughout the residential district.

The voice pouring down was as gentle as music from heaven.

“Everyone, nice to meet you. There’s no need for us to introduce ourselves, is there☆? Yes, we are Class 1-11☆”

A murmur of awe leaked out from the courtyard.

The moment the goddess’s voice spread, the people who had remained in the residential district also hurriedly rushed toward the school building.

“Originally, we had no plans to come to this academy. But when we saw everyone’s pioneer life, it was in a state like a used diaper, so we ended up having to come here like this. To a place like a toilet, you see☆”

Lovrin was a pure-type beautiful girl comparable to Monaka and Kotone.

The voice spun from her motherly smile was pure sound itself, but her choice of words was strong.

“Now then, it goes without saying who one of the root causes that turned this place into somewhere so filthy is, doesn’t it☆ It is the fake Sage currently floating here like the contents of a chamber pot☆”

“I-I am not a fake…! Gyaaah!?”

Weiss tried to protest, but he was silenced by being made to drop with a jerk.

“And so, from now on, I hereby declare the opening of the Academy Trial☆”

At the sudden declaration that court was in session, heat erupted from the courtyard with a cry of “Ooooooh!?”

At the entrance ceremony, Leopin had once been subjected to the Class Trial, which became the trigger for his expulsion.

The Class Trial was held at the class level, but the Academy Trial involved all the students in the school.

The rules were exactly the same as the Class Trial.

If support from a majority of all the students was obtained, judgment would be passed upon the student who had become the defendant.

Lovrin continued with a gentle smile that seemed unrelated to any trial.

The students in the courtyard were so excited that they forgot to close their mouths and looked up at her with their jaws hanging open.

“Well then, let us take a vote from all of you who have faces like butt holes☆

Those butt holes who think Weiss-kun should be expelled, please raise your hands☆”

…Whoosh!

Then, without any hesitation, the students all raised their hands at once.

Weiss, who was floating right above them, shouted at the top of his lungs.

“D-don’t screw with me!? You would expel me, a Sage!?”

“That’s right! Ever since you enrolled, all you ever did was act arrogant!”

“Exactly! You never did a single thing befitting a Sage, did you!?”

“When we built walls in the residential district like you told us to, they collapsed and caused a disaster!”

“If you weren’t a Sage, we would have beaten you to death long ago!”

“That’s right! Someone like you should just die!”

“Oh my,” Lovrin said with a troubled smile.

“You must not use such violent and frightening words. But to think that every single butt hole has abandoned you… This Sage here truly was a genuine chamber pot, wasn’t he☆”

Laughing lightly, Lovrin raised the hand she had held out.

As if linked to that motion, Weiss’s body floated especially high.

“Wh-what are you doing!?”

“What am I doing? Isn’t it obvious? Now that you have been proven to be a chamber pot, there is no meaning in Lav saving you like this, is there? It is troublesome to slowly lower you down, so like this, all at once…!”

Lovrin formed her raised hand into a fist, turned her thumb downward, and flicked it down.

The next instant, Weiss’s body plunged straight down like a puppet whose invisible suspension strings had been cut.

“P-please save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?!?”

Weiss’s spread-eagled body fell straight toward the brick path of the courtyard.

However, when there were only a few meters left,

…Jolt!

His fall stopped.

Weiss thrashed in the air like an insect sprayed with pesticide, tears spraying from his eyes.

“S-save me! Please save me! I-I don’t want to die yet! I don’t want to dieeee!! P-please, I’m begging you, save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Lovrin-shama! Lovrin-shamaaaaaaaa!!”

It was a plea for life with his whole body and soul, as if he had cast aside all of his pride as a Sage.

The students who had watched it from up close, like front-row seats, were now utterly disgusted with Weiss.

“We respected a hopeless bastard like this, even if only for a little while…?”

Suddenly, droplets fell onto their faces.

“Uwah!? It stinks!? That bastard Weiss wet himself!”

“Kyaaaah!? Disgusting! Noooooooooooooo!?”

As if a bomb had fallen, the people around Weiss scattered away.

At that timing, Lovrin dropped Weiss’s body splat onto the ground.

Immediately, the students who had tried to flee returned.

“Hey, everyone, get him!”

“He splashed piss on our faces! How much trouble does he have to cause before he’s satisfied!?”

“Die! Die! Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Surrounded by the students who had turned into a mob, Weiss was assaulted by all of them at once.

The scene was like a fawn that had fallen into a pond of piranhas.
