The Honor at Magic High School (魔法科高校の優等生)

"Open forum by the Student Council and a volunteer coalition regarding the elimination of discrimination in the school"

2095-04-23

Just as you pointed out, I won't deny that discrimination does exist at this school.

Despite efforts by the school, the Student Council and the Disciplinary Committee to ban them,

the terms so many students continue to use...

The open forum must've started by now, huh?

If it's bothering you, should we go?

No. I'm sure both sides have something to say,

but I don't want to see them arguing.

Honoka...

After all, we're―

What's going on?

What just happened?

Don't let them get away!

Honoka!

M-My legs!

Honoka, Shizuku! Are you all right?

Amy...

Look at this CAD I borrowed from the Hunting Club!

Who are these guys anyway?

W-We don't know.

It's okay. I was scared, too.

Huh?

My body just moved on its own because you were in danger.

Hey, I was scared, too!

I mean, they were armed,

and even if this can't kill anyone, I've never shot at anyone before.

Amy...

Shizuku...

Thanks!

I don't have time to feel down.

Next time, I have to...

Don't move!

Arrest all of the coalition members!

They're obviously working with an external force!

The explosion was set off in the Practical Skills Wing.

Let's hurry over.

Right!

Miyuki! Tatsuya-san!

Everyone! What's this?

That's what we want to ask.

Who the heck are these people?

Miyuki, calm down.

But...

It's dangerous here for the three of you.

You should follow the Student Council's guidance and evacuate right away.

You didn't answer our question.

Who are these people? What exactly is happening here?

I'm pretty sure they're with the international anti-magic political organization, Blanche.

The coalition members are working with them, too.

As was the guy who assaulted me.

I knew what you three were up to.

Sorry I exposed you to danger.

Then, everything that's been happening...

They did this just to force their own agenda through?

It makes zero sense!

Trying to make their case this way isn't going to change anything!

This is just totally wrong!

It would've been conveyed just fine.

That precious something that can't be measured by grades or talent level.

We're all First High students here, after all!

So, why would they do this?

I'm sure that if President Saegusa heard what you just said, she'd be thrilled!

Huh?

You can leave the rest to us.

Miyuki...

You and I sure are lucky.

We have friends who aren't bound by values

and senpai we can respect.

Neither can be had just because you seek them.

Yes, I agree.

I'm truly glad I was able to enroll at this school!

You think Mibu-senpai and others like her didn't have what we have?

Surely, some of them do.

Both Mibu-senpai and the coalition members.

Like Honoka said, the important things get conveyed just fine.

If only they would realize that...

I hope they realize they're not being hurt by discrimination from outside.

No pushing!

Follow the Disciplinary Committee's guidance!

So, Morisaki's on the Disciplinary Committee?

Too bad he doesn't always act like that.

Not that I don't agree, but that's not happening.

Ah!

Tsukasa Kinoe!

He's making a run for it! Let's go after him!

Sure, but first things first.

Huh?

Tsukasa-sen~pai!

What, you're leaving already?

With all those shady-looking people?

My eyes!

This school...

No, this world is rotten to the core!

A world where people are ranked based on magic...

We the members of Blanche refuse to let it exist!

Ah! Wait!

Tsukasa-senpai, please stop resisting and come with us.

The Disciplinary Committee?

A student sent us a livestream of your actions via Light Refraction Magic.

We saw the whole thing including you trying to flee with your homeboys, the terrorists.

That video was a lifesaver! Thanks!

We did it!

We've apprehended every member of the coalition.

We've also repulsed the remnants of the terrorists who infiltrated the school grounds.

Just as we thought, the enemy was Blanche.

But why would they launch an assault of this scale?

This was all a diversion.

Their true objective is...

to steal the classified materials stored in the Magic University.

So, Mibu and Tsukasa and the others were being used?

Pretty low of them!

You weren't the ringleaders behind today's incident.

You were only being led on.

If we can destroy the ringleaders,

perhaps you and your cohorts' actions will be overlooked.

Wait, that doesn't mean...

...that you're going to take on Blanche, right?

That would be way too reckless.

We'd be going up against a political organization!

Shiba...

Do we have any chance of winning?

Yes.

Juumonji-kun!

This is no longer someone else's problem

because we're involved in this incident now.

If Miyuki's and my daily life is being threatened,

I'll destroy that threat with every fiber of my being.

That's the Blanche hideout, huh?

Now, Leo!

Panzer!

Panzer!

You low-life students!

Look at you, coming at us low-life students in droves and armed to the teeth...

How pathetic is that?

There you go again, throwing shade.
