I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

64. Attack on the academy

Brother’s return.

It was the most appropriate word to describe the current situation at Demeia Academy. The attack on the Academy, which began as soon as Gilbert’s triumphal speech was over, caused as much confusion as anyone expected.

Explosions exploding here and there and buildings collapsing.

People were panicking and running away from the rubble of the building, and terrible screams were heard everywhere.

“All cadets, help people evacuate!”

The academy professors who were on site to control the parade came to their senses late and shouted, but were buried in chaos. The cadets who heard the professors’ shouts were helping the visitors evacuate, but the crowd was so large that proper control was not achieved.

Fortunately, the academy’s automatic defense system was activated and giant soldiers in autonomous mode appeared, but the attackers’ skills were beyond the defense system. One by one, the giant soldiers in autonomous mode fell, and the situation began to change more urgently.

Boom!

– Save me!

– Argh!

The number of people dying from ricochets and the remains of destroyed buildings caused by the Battle of the Giant Soldiers began to increase exponentially. No matter how many academy cadets and professors they were, they couldn’t get involved in a fight between giant god soldiers with their bare bodies.

But their pride did not allow them to watch like this. It was their mission to protect civilians. At the very least, it was necessary to buy the academy a minimum of time to prepare for the attack.

“Hold on somehow until reinforcements arrive. Risk your life!”

“Reorganize the ranks!”

He drew his sword to protect the cadets and civilians. Although they were smaller than the giant god soldiers, there were only a few things they could do, but their goal was to buy a little time.

At this moment, the professors were ready to give up their lives.

In the lead, a professor grabbed his sword and prepared to attack at any moment. Other professors lined up behind them. There was a sense of solemnity in his eyes, and the moment the giant soldier that was fighting the attacker in autonomous mode was cut in two, he jumped forward without even saying who was first.

It looked as if a wart was blocking the wheel.

[That’s it.]

– Boom!

A giant soldier blocked the path of the professors, who seemed to be jumping into the flames with rice straw on their bodies. Through the heavy sound and dust, the Academy’s public giant soldier was seen.

The professors were able to easily recall the person whose voice stopped them using volume amplification magic.

The academy’s best swordsman who does not hesitate to call it the best sword in the empire.

Brianna Tefeo Malkirav.

She appeared, leading a giant spirit soldier.

[The number of enemies is close to about a hundred. Lead the giant soldiers and fight back immediately!]

The professors quickly left their seats at the firm voice of Brianna, who had been a commander on the battlefield before working at the academy. The reason they did this reckless thing was to buy time until reinforcements arrived.

If the reinforcements we were waiting for were the academy’s best strength, doing something like this was a waste of time. They immediately split into two groups, with one group helping people evacuate, and the rest rushing toward the Giant God Soldier’s hangar.

Meanwhile, Brianna, who had managed to arrive at her moment of crisis, couldn’t help but grit her teeth with her sigh of relief. Her gaze was on the image of an academy cadet who was unable to evacuate and was crushed to death by the rubble of the building.

At the moment of her death, did she intuit her own end?

Or is it because of the pain of bizarrely bent limbs?

The face of the cadet who ended her life was extremely distorted. The sight of her failing to show off her talents and realize her dreams at this young age was so painful to see. She had no intention of falling as the red blood stains stuck to her eyes.

Naturally, the image of a young soldier who lost his life in an old war came to mind. The devastation of that time and the resentment toward myself for not being able to do anything came rushing back to me this time.

I cannot forgive. Brianna, who was clutching her control stick as if it would break, let out a sound that was close to a scream, and ran towards the academy intruders.

[It’s Brianna! It is the best sword in the empire!]

[Don’t let your guard down! We must have numerical superiority!]

When the raiders realized the identity of the person who single-handedly cut the giant soldier in half, they stopped her destruction activities and surrounded Brianna.

The reason they attacked Demeia Academy was for the noble purpose of changing an unreasonable society. Reckless destruction and terrorism were not what they pursued.

A few sacrifices were made in the process, but they were necessary sacrifices for a better society. There were many more weak people who were trampled on by the vested interests.

It was obvious that if they killed Brianna, who was at the top of the vested interest class, they would get one step closer to the society they were pursuing. Their eyes began to sparkle with a hopeful future.

The hostility towards each other clashed. It was an unreasonable battle of one versus many, but it was Brianna who seemed to have the advantage.

Although she was angry to the core, she was always cool-headed in her battles. This was because she knew better than anyone else that if she was consumed by anger, she would have no time to do anything.

Brianna skillfully swung her large sword and cut off the leg of her enemy’s colossus. She wanted to make sure to finish off the falling giant soldier, but she was mindful of the barrage of artillery fire that followed and dodged behind her.

As expected, her dozens of magic bullets rained down on her, targeting the area where she had been just moments before.

-Cow! Kwaaang!

Brianna narrowed her eyes as the explosion swept around her.

When I saw the artillery fire a little while ago, the Colossus mounted by the attackers was armed more than the general-purpose aircraft of Demeia Academy. It was a war weapon called the Geoshinbyeong that cost an enormous amount of money to even operate one.

However, for some reason, the number of Giant God Soldiers that the attackers showed up on was almost a hundred, and even their armament was superior to that of the general-purpose Giant God Soldiers of Demeyer Academy.

No matter how general-purpose the Colossus was, it showed better performance than ordinary Colossi, as it was operated by one of the most prestigious academies on the continent.

But the performance exceeded the performance of such a general-purpose aircraft… Brianna felt like her head was spinning.

But what she had to do now was to quickly sort out this situation.

[You must kill Brianna before the Academy guys counterattack! Don’t give yourself any time to rest!]

The leader of the raiders pressed Brianna, shouting loudly through her communications. They knew that time was never on their side. Their chairman explained the raid on Demeia Academy and emphasized that the greatest damage must be inflicted as soon as possible.

She also added that if she could handle the core professor of Demeia Academy, that alone would mean a lot. And now that Brianna, one of her key professors, appears before her eyes, somehow dealing with her becomes their top priority.

In the end, the opinions of both sides came together in a large majority. Eliminate the opponent with all your might.

There was no start signal, but we collided without any question of which side would go first. Metal clashing and the sound of magical weapons exploding began to be heard ceaselessly.

***

How much time has passed?

There were many giant gods fallen around her, but the number of giant gods that remained before her eyes was even greater.

“Whoa…”

Brianna breathed heavily. Even though she was in a much better situation than when she roamed the battlefield before entering the academy, she reached her physical limits too quickly.

Has he become dull because he has adapted to academy life?

Of course, that wasn’t the case. She glanced at the half-destroyed building.

There, a small group of cadets who were unable to evacuate were hiding her body.

It was purely by chance that Brianna found them. She fought a fierce battle without retreating even against numerous enemies, and the attackers, who were frightened by her, hesitated and there was a very brief lull. And in that split second, the artificial spirit of the public giant god soldier she was riding picked up the signals of the cadets right behind her.

Brianna was taken aback by the sudden signal from the cadets, but she did not have time to evacuate them. The lull was only a short period of time, and the battle began immediately.

The fate of the battle that started again was not the same as before. When she realized there were cadets behind her, Brianna was unable to make high-speed evasive maneuvers as she had done before her lull.

Even if she moved her position, the risk of the cadets being swept away was too great as the raiders were firing indiscriminately. She couldn’t abandon her students due to her position as a professor at the Academy, so she had only one choice. It was about protecting her position.

Is this the limit soon? Brianna gritted her teeth. The remaining magic battery in the general-purpose colossus and Brianna’s current mana began to run out. The cause of the problem was the excessive use of mana while deploying a magic barrier to prevent damage to the cadets.

Furthermore, the accumulated damage from the Giant God Soldier was too great. At one point she realized that Brianna was holding her ground and she was hit by the barrage of her raiders who began a siege of annihilation.

Depletion of mana and stoppage of movement of giant soldiers.

Brianna sensed that this was her grave.

“But it can’t go on like this.”

Words like her promise flowed from her mouth. Her blood welled up as her magical core was stretched to its limit, but she held it down. The moment she gave up, the cadets behind her felt like death.

What was the reason she came to this academy?

Wasn’t it the hope that no more people would die fleetingly on the battlefield?

She could never see cadets who had not yet received sufficient training die without even being able to board the Colossus. It was enough for her to choose this place as her grave.

She sent message magic to the cadets through an artificial spirit. She will attract as much attention as possible, so take the opportunity to run away.

Previously, she could not rule out the possibility of being caught in an explosion, so she waited for reinforcements, but in the current situation, there was no way left.

Brianna steeled her resolve and caught her breath. Although she was facing death, her mind was as calm as usual. The only thing that bothered me was whether the cadets behind me would get out safely.

But this was all she could do. They will take as long as possible, but unfortunately, their ability to survive depends on their capabilities. Although she felt helpless and couldn’t do anything else, she shook her head and gathered her spirit. If she collapses too quickly, their chances of survival will be low.

Brianna examined her current condition before pounced. All of the weapons already installed were used up. Every part of the giant spirit bottle was intact, and it seemed like it could only move. It was the worst situation, without any need for analysis.

But there was still one thing left. A huge iron sword held in the right hand of the Giant God Soldier.

From noble mtl dot com

She became the best in the empire with just one sword, but the fact that she still had a sword to wield was enough.

Brianna, who had completed all her preparations, gave a signal to her cadets and leapt forward.

The raiders who were watching, thinking it was almost over, were surprised by her sudden action, but she did not let down her guard. She immediately responded with fire, and heavy artillery fire filled all directions, forming a dense barrage.

She pierced her sword and made a hole in her barrage, and shouted as she was the first to cut down the giant god soldier in front of her.

“I am Brianna, the Empire’s greatest sword! Come at us all at once!”

A bloody but desperate cry, like the roar of a wounded beast, spread in all directions through amplification magic. The attackers were tired of seeing that, but they didn’t stop attacking.

But from the beginning, it was not a fight that could last long. With the already half-destroyed Giant God Soldier, even Brianna of the world had clear limits. In the end, Brianna’s legs were broken by the pouring artillery fire and the iron sword serenity, and she collapsed on the spot.

She tried her best to pull the control stick, but she could hardly get up. To make matters worse, the front screen of the giant soldier, which was close to its mobility limit, finally blinked.

In the dark cockpit, Brianna realized that her end was finally approaching. Her long journey ended in this narrow cockpit.

But I wasn’t scared or regretful. All that remained was her hope that her cadets escaped safely and her worries about those who would be left behind.

In particular, Gilbert, who I thought I could walk the path of the sword with, caught my eye.

But it seemed like her journey ended here.

It was a pity, but she couldn’t obsess over something trivial.

I hope Gilbert reaches there.

With a sincere wish, Brianna closed her eyes.

But.

Winter Sword – Iaip

Parting the winter sky

The moment I let go of the attachment to life, golden magic surged and split the sky in half.

Brianna’s eyes widened as the familiar golden magic seeped into her eyes. In front of her, a giant god soldier was holding his sword drawn in her Iaigi stance. Her vaguely familiar posture made her smile faintly without realizing it.

It seemed that her journey was not yet over.
