Chapter 48: Attack
William's POV:
"Um, guys, I have an idea, does anyone here know Enhancement magic?"
Come on, I've gotta do something, or else not just me, but plenty of other Sapients will suffer from this.
"What are you gonna do? You're a Sapient, no offense but your offensive power isn't that high, it's better to just leave this to the teachers that know what they are doing."
"If we do that, then people will die!"
"If we go there, it's practically suicide!"
"Look, just answer my question, does anyone here know Enhancement magic? I know this school doesn't teach it, but someone must at least have a convenient spell memorized from that category!"
A random kid in the back raises his hand, a Dark Elf, "I-I know it somewhat, my parent excel at it, so they taught me some Enhancement magic..."
"Good, can you please strengthen my body, just making me faster should be fine, but if you can increase my endurance too, that's great."
"O-okay, but what are you gonna do?"
"I'm gonna save the hostages!"
===
I don't think I got that kid's name, "Hey, I didn't ask, but what's your name?"
"It's Alyx..."
"Well, thank you, Alyx!"
I open the door and ask the person behind me to lock it as soon as I leave, the barrier will keep it shut. I walk into the hallway and see the destruction that has transpired. The Magic Liberators are aggressive, and the walls are torn apart. The only reason that no one felt this in class is the barrier protecting the classes.
I know what type of spell I want to use, but I don't have a good understanding of the science of how it works. This trick will take a lot of MP, but I have no choice here. I think of accelerating myself upon the fourth dimension, I know it's a LOT more complicated than that, but I don't really have time to study the laws of space-time right now so... I just gotta let my MP make up the difference.
Suddenly everything around me starts to slow down in comparison, I don't know how long I can hold this, but everything seems like it's stopped, perfect. The reason I asked my speed and endurance to be enhanced is so I can make the most of this time I can hold the magic.
I run across the school and start grabbing the hostages, taking them out of the school, and must I say, they are heavy! I should have thought of asking for strength enhancement! Well, there's not much I can do now.
When I've gotten out around a fourth of the hostages out of the school, I start feeling the repercussions of using my magic, I may have a lot of MP, but no one can hold Time magic of this scale for long. Only like a half of a second has passed for everyone else, but for me, it's been half an hour.
It was then I had a thought, The MP Drain Mk.3 should have a lot of my MP stored in it, so if I use it as a bank, I should be able to hold this spell for longer!
The plan works and buys me enough time to get out another fourth, so now I've gotten out like half the people. I start to feel the effects again, this time worse than before.
My spell falls apart and time around me resumes its normal speed in comparison. What am I gonna do? I can't get into a classroom, and there is nowhere to go! If I try to escape they'll see me! I did not think this through!
"Where did the hostages go! It must have been a Time magician, with the amount of MP to do this, they must be a genius!"
"Yeah, but why did they help the Sapients? Those useless things."
Hah! They don't realize that a Sapient is the one who did that, it didn't even cross their minds. Well, to be fair, if I wasn't like this, I wouldn't have thought it was a Sapient either, we're just too weak in terms of magic.
Well, I don't have enough magic to slow down time as much as before, however, if need be, I should be able to pull off a spell to protect myself.
"Hey! What are you doing here!" Shoot, I've been spotted. I compress time covering my hand like a glove and make the time around my hand run super fast, like ten years for every second. This would be impossible with my current amount of MP if the space in which the time was compressed wasn't so thin, like a centimeter in width.
The person runs at me, and I use my hand as a blade, anything that hits the compressed time starts rapidly aging, and I get behind him and hold my hand on his shoulder.
His shoulder starts to age, then it gets to the point it's not getting enough blood from the rest of the body, because, y'know, the blood is getting to the shoulder too slow for the shoulders accelerated time, so his shoulder starts going through necrosis. Eventually, his arm falls off, pretty gross to see, even worse to experience, but he deserves it!
"What did you do, brat!" He throws me off, and my head hits against the wall, that has to be a concussion! Ahhh... I can't move! Am I really gonna die?
*BOOM*
"I thought I dealt with you guys a while back, but you are like cockroaches, you just don't die."
Who's that, my vision's too blurry right now after hitting my head...
"What are you doing here, protecting this third-rate school! Just let us deal with these pests, and we'll be on our way!"
"Don't call my citizens pests." Who is this guy, and why does he sound so angry? My vision starts to go black and I pass out.
===
"Seriously, that kid saved half of the people taken hostage, yet he can't take a hit to the head." I came here to help after I heard that the Magic Liberators had come to this school. I had been trying to track them down for a while, and now they just gave their position away.
What I didn't expect was a child to have saved half the hostages and also taken the arm of one of the Magic Liberator members while being exhausted of his MP, on top of being a Sapient! That is not an easy feat.
I wonder why the Magic Liberators decided to act now though, it only seems to go against their plans to reveal their location now. Well, there isn't much I can do about it, in fact, I welcome them announcing where they are, whelp, time to clean up the trash.
"AHH!" "ARGH!" "STOP!!!", the screams of pained Magic Liberators can be heard throughout the school while a mysterious man takes out every one of them, leading him to their boss.
"Been a while, hasn't it? You disgusting Death magician."
"At least call me by my name, isn't that polite?"
