Who Isn't a Herrscher

"You guys..."

Six people on the beach were playing around as if they were having fun.

In the shadows.

"The mission targets have appeared. Kids, it's time for us to make our entrance."

A middle-aged man with a missing arm, wearing a jet-black robe, spoke to the six figures behind him.

"The intel mentioned that a certain traitor is also near the mission targets, right?"

"No problem. We'll just take care of that traitor while we're at it."

"But is it really okay?"

"What?"

"Behind the mission targets are the three top world powers: 'Yashahime,' 'World Clock,' and 'Fighting God.'"

"Those three are probably already tied up with the nationwide terrorist attacks."

"Hey, Stella, don't shove it all in at once."

Luo Mio held a skewer of beef, placing it on the grill, and watched Stella, who had an unknown amount of beef in her mouth.

Shizuku snorted as she watched Stella's hearty eating.

"As expected of a mother dragon."

"Whatcha say?"

"I said, watch your mouth."

"Alright, alright, there's still plenty of meat."

Ikki couldn't stand it and stepped in to mediate.

Luo Mio sighed and looked at his older sister.

"Sis, aren't you eating?"

Touka was looking at the student handbook with a grave expression.

Arisugawa walked over with an extra skewer.

"Here, what's going on?"

Touka took the skewer from Arisugawa.

"Thanks."

"It seems like terrorist attacks are happening simultaneously in different parts of the country right now."

Stella and Shizuku, who were still arguing, stopped and looked at Touka.

"Terrorist attacks..."

Ikki also looked at Touka with a serious expression.

Upon hearing Touka's words, Luo Mio's first reaction was to look at Arisugawa, but Arisugawa's equally grave expression dispelled his suspicion.

To be able to launch terrorist attacks nationwide simultaneously, and considering the upcoming Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, the only ones capable of this were the 'Rebellion.'

But why at this time...

Luo Mio lowered his head in thought.

However, as he lowered his head, he saw a bizarre sight: the sand at his feet was wet from the sea.

Even though they were somewhat close to the sea, it was impossible for the tide to rise so quickly to their current location.

Luo Mio's gaze turned serious as he looked towards the shallow waters, where a large number of fish and shrimp had appeared.

These two points led Luo Mio to only one conclusion.

A tsunami!

"What's wrong, Miohua?" Ikki asked, looking at the grim-faced Luo Mio with confusion.

The seawater washed over Ikki's feet.

Ikki subconsciously looked down, then realized something and looked towards the sea.

"Sis!"

Luo Mio quickly called out to the four people whose attention was focused on the student handbook.

With Luo Mio's shout, their attention was also drawn to their feet.

Touka, having participated in numerous terrorist attacks, was the first to notice the other civilians on the beach.

The rising seawater had already caught the attention of a small portion of people, while the vast majority, being on a day off and during lunchtime, hadn't paid much attention to the surging tide.

Stella observed the beach and said incredulously, "There isn't a single lifeguard on duty on the beach!"

"As expected, they came prepared."

"But there's no way we can gather and evacuate so many people in such a short time."

Shizuku said, feeling the fluctuations in her hand while looking at the people on the beach.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Luo Mio and his group chose a spot quite far from the crowd.

"Leave it to me."

Luo Mio took Touka's hand and moved to a more open area.

"Come forth, 'Eternal Twilight Wolves'."

Luo Mio summoned his Device.

Then he said, "Skoll! Hati!"

The Eternal Twilight Wolves emerged from Luo Mio's arms.

With a flash of white light, two enormous white wolves appeared.

Eternal Twilight Wolves, Second Form!

Luo Mio patted one of the white wolves and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Skoll."

The white wolf lowered its head and gently nudged Luo Mio.

Then Luo Mio stood on Hati's back.

Skoll rose and let out a roar to the sky.

"ROOOOAR!!!"

The giant roar of the white wolf instantly spread across the entire beach.

Hearing the incredibly loud wolf howl, the crowd instantly turned their gazes towards Luo Mio's location.

Luo Mio took a deep breath; it was the first time he had faced so many people in his life.

Amplifying his voice with Magic Power, Luo Mio addressed the people on the beach, "I am a first-year student at Hagun Academy."

Then, the other white wolf, Hati, stood up.

Touka gripped Narukami in her hand.

"I am Toudo Touka, the Student Council President of Hagun Academy!"

"This beach is about to be hit by a tsunami. Please evacuate the beach immediately."

Behind the giant wolves, Shizuku's expression suddenly changed.

"It's too late!"

With a boom, a tremendous sound echoed from the sea.

Everyone looked and saw that the sea had turned white, and a long wall of water had appeared!

A thundering, roaring tidal wave surged towards the coast.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

People scrambled to escape, their screams of panic, the cries of children, the shouts of loved ones searching for each other.

Watching the giant wave that was about to reach the shore.

"Shizuku! Stella! Sis!"

Luo Mio shouted, causing the three girls to instantly scatter along the coastline and summon their Devices.

Meanwhile, Ikki and Arisugawa, lacking sufficient Magic Power and area-of-effect Blade Dance Techniques, quickly worked to evacuate the civilians.

"Freeze, 'Frozen Earth Plain'!"

"'Sky Burning Earth Dragon King Flame'!"

"'Raikiri'!"

Magic Power of water, fire, and lightning colors flashed by the sea, blocking the tsunami's advance.

However, Magic Power was ultimately limited.

Shizuku and Touka were the first to exhaust their strength.

Only Stella remained, burning her own Magic Power to hold back the tsunami's advance.

But alone, she struggled to withstand the giant wave.

"Skoll! Hati!"

The two white wolves stood behind Stella.

"ROOOOAR!!!!"

The wolves' roars, accompanied by golden phantom images, blocked the incoming tidal wave.

Biological Form: 'Sun Chasing Shadow'.

"Ikki! Alice!"

Ikki and Arisugawa, who had already been evacuated, came to pick up the exhausted Stella and Shizuku, and retreated towards higher ground.

Seeing that everyone had evacuated, Luo Mio picked up Touka.

"Skoll! Hati! Let's go!"

Luo Mio rode on Skoll.

The two giant wolves galloped towards higher ground.

Luo Mio jumped off Skoll, holding Touka.

"Are you alright?"

Luo Mio looked at everyone.

Ikki and Arisugawa shook their heads.

Stella and Shizuku, sitting nearby, and Touka in his arms indicated that they were merely exhausted of Magic Power.

Luo Mio watched the tsunami crashing onto the beach, destroying facilities, stalls, and the convenience store. Fortunately, everyone had managed to slow it down.

The speed and power of the giant wave had been greatly reduced.

Ikki watched with a grim expression.

"This tsunami..."

Just then.

"Mio! Be careful!" Fu Hua's warning echoed in Luo Mio's mind.

At the same time, Skoll and Hati looked in one direction, their low growls warning everyone.

"As expected of the knight with the world's greatest Magic Power, truly impressive."

A voice, innocent like a child's, rang out.
