Chapter 171: The Battle of Norneau - Part 7 - Like Succubus Do
Suddenly a sound like a thousand popping sparks and a flickering spectre appeared before Noir. The sheepkin man startled, falling backward.
"St-t-t-t-t-Students. Thi-th-thi-this area is for-or-or-forbi-d-d-den. T-t-turn ba-a-a-a-back or restr-tr-tr-trictive measures will be taken."
Kir recognized the voice and the distorted, flickering form.
It was the same construct from the arena.
"Sorry, we can’t," Kir said as he continued past the construct, drawing Kangetsu from his storage with one hand before bending to help Noir up.
"Got one of those for me?" the older man asked with a nervous chuckle.
Kir opened his mouth for a second before settling for a nod. "Two, actually."
One by one he pulled out his wingbone knives, handing them to Noir. "These are more like focuses for spells, but they’ll stab in a pinch."
They were a little big in Noir’s hands, more like short swords, but he nodded. "I’ll see if I can put them to work." For a moment he turned them in his hands, at one point holding them more like pistols before finding a grip he liked - one forward grip and one reverse grip. Then he tucked them into his belt.
Thre three of them walked together, but as soon as they crossed a second arcing line, the construct reappeared.
"R-re-restri-c-c-tive m-measures activa-tiva-tivauuuu~"
