“Nuu…!?”
The attack unleashed by Yuugo as he activated his Blaster caught Black Veil in the face.
He gouged part of the roof with the claws on his feet as he was blown back, and Sakura followed it with another attack on the monster armor beast.
“Flying Blade ・ Water Loong Wave!!”
Compressed water wrapped around the blade. It turned into a thin sharp blade, as Sakura swung her naginata into an attack.
She swept sideways and swung it down, sending two water blades forward. She saw her attack rain down on Black Veil as he crashed into a wall, and landed while seeing the cloud of dust raised by the impact.
“Yuugo, how did that feel?”
“No good. He threw himself back the moment he was being hit.”
Yuugo said to Ryuuga, as he clenched his fist again.
His attack hit Black Veil in the face, but jumping back meant he escaped the impact of the attack and prevented it from being a fatal blow. As Yuugo said this, he also said that Black Veil’s combat senses were not average, and the jet black monster armor beast soared.
“Justice is not dirty. Justice will not lose. Justice won’t break. That is justice.”
“Tch, he really didn’t go down…!!”
It seemed he used his large black wings as a shield.
As Yuugo and the others thought he probably used them to block Sakura’s attack, Black Veil spoke from the sky.
“Slaughter evil. No matter how rampant it runs in this world, I will continue fighting to execute all evil. It is the start of the global revolution of true justice. The time has come to show the world my justice.”
“What are you on about? Global revolution? What are you thinking?”
“You will know when the time comes. You will know the meaning of true justice and the righteousness of my justice.”
Black Veil hinted at something, and flapped his wings.
The next moment, he disappeared into the darkness, leaving only silence.
“…His presence is gone. Looks like he got away.”
“Mister Ryuuga, Raiha, are you injured!?”
“I-I’m fine… Ryuuga protected me…”
With Black Veil’s retreat, they felt relief and checked on each other.
They were even more relieved to see no one was hurt, and Sakura spoke as she looked up to where Black Veil disappeared.
“I really did not expect him to start hunting students of Luminous Academy so soon…”
“With Black Veil’s attack, it’s clear this situation is turning even worse than we thought. We need to report this right away and be on guard.”
“Precisely. Mister Yuugo, Mister Ryuuga, return to the academy post haste… You two?”
The situation with the Friends of the Night Society and Black Veil was accelerating faster than they predicted.
Sakura thought they needed to report to guards and teachers, and be on guard themselves, but when she spoke to Yuugo and Ryuuga, both seemed to be lost in thought with grave expressions.
“Is something the matter?”
“It’s strange… I can’t really put it into words, but something feels off. Why did Black Veil attack us now…?”
“As a warning and declaration of hostilities? I believe it was to show that the students of Luminous academy who disrupted the meeting won’t be forgiven…”
“I understand that, but… Something’s not right. It’s like I’m missing search terms, or my brain cells aren’t quite at the top…”
“???”
Sakura tilted her head, not understanding anything, as Yuugo grumbled.
Raiha also looked at Ryuuga as he pondered something, and made up her mind to speak.
“Hum… Do you also think Black Veil’s actions were odd…?”
Ah, no… That’s not it…”
Ryuuga awkwardly looked away.
This strange reaction puzzled Raiha, but Ryuuga spoke with an apologetic tone.
“…Before we were attacked, you were talking to me, right? But I was so preoccupied with looking for the source of that bloodlust that I didn’t hear most of it… Was it important?”
“Ah…! N-no! It’s all right! It wasn’t a big deal…!!”
Said Raiha while waving her hands, after Ryuuga spoke awkwardly.
She saw his expression looking a little relieved, and thought she was probably the one who should be relieved that he did not hear what came next, and Sakura spoke.
“You two, you should think after we return to the academy. We need to report this.”
“…Yes. We have two girls here too, so we should head to a safe location.”
They got through that predicament, but could not let their guard down.
Black Veil could return, so they should go back to the academy.
They hurried before it got even more late, but as they traversed the path to the academy, no one noticed that Ryuuga’s eyes were a little sharp as he looked at Raiha.

Gouged*
Hida, gauged is to measure, you meant gouged which is to carve with a sharp object
What an ominous thing to say for someone claiming to be on the side of justice. Sounds like one of those self-righteous hero wannabe in the shows.
