Saijou floored the accelerator and sped the bus through Hagun’s gates, braking sharply the moment they got onto the campus. As soon as the bus came to a halt, Ikki and the others leaped out the doors and windows.

“This is...terrible...”

Half of the buildings were on fire, and the air was thick with acrid smoke. The asphalt roads were pitted with cracks and craters like someone had dropped a bomb on the school. Students and teachers were lying on the floor, all of them unconscious. This was no mere fire. A battle had clearly taken place here.

“Ikki, look over there!” Stella shouted, pointing. Ikki turned in that direction and saw two familiar faces.

“Oreki-sensei and...Ayatsuji-san?!” The two of them were lying on the ground as well, unconscious. Ikki ran over to them and lifted Ayase off the ground. “Ayatsuji-san, are you okay?!”

“...”

“It’s no good—she’s out cold. How about Oreki-sensei, Stella?”

“She’s not waking up either. But she doesn’t look injured. Someone just knocked her out.”

Ikki looked down and noticed that Ayase was similarly unhurt. Her clothes were slightly torn, though, as if they’d been slashed through.

“They must have been hit by a Device in phantom form,” Ikki muttered.

“Ladiiies aaand gentlemeeen!”

“Wha—”

A cheerful, playful voice rang out through the grounds. It was coming from above, and Ikki and Stella immediately looked up. Standing atop one of the burning school buildings was a tall, slender man dressed like a clown.

“Congratulations on making it back home, representatives of Hagun! We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Who’s that clown?!”

Everyone was taken aback by the man’s eccentric appearance—with the exception of Ikki and Touka.

“He’s...”

The two of them recognized his face. He was one of the entrants in the Seven Stars Battle Festival.

“You’re Bunkyoku’s Hiraga Reisen, aren’t you?” Touka asked sharply.

The man’s red-painted lips curled up into a grin.

“Oh, I’m honored that you’ve heard of me, Thunderbolt. Heh heh heh, what do you think of the stage we’ve set up for you? Quite the splendid surprise, wouldn’t you say?”

“You’re the one responsible for this?”

Hiraga shook his head.

“Oh no, not at all. Or rather, I couldn’t have done it all alone.”

He jumped off the roof of the school building, revealing a row of other students behind him. As he landed, they all jumped off as well, lining up in front of Ikki and the others.

“Wha?!”

One was a man dressed in traditional Japanese clothes and carrying a long katana—a nodachi. Next came a girl wearing only pants and an apron. After that were a woman in a maid uniform and a girl wearing an eye patch, both riding a lion with jet-black fur. There were two others who followed, and including Hiraga, all seven were dressed in unusual clothes. But though their outfits made them seem ridiculous, Ikki and the others could tell that they were dangerous.

Hiraga pointed to the others and then to himself, and said, “We’re responsible for this. The proud students of Akatsuki Academy.”

This was the first time the students of Akatsuki Academy had publicly declared their affiliation. The seven major
