What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

Chapter 806: They Blew up

I created a shield around the table filled with the explosives.

Lisa understood my plan because she immediately followed my lead and created a shield over mine as well.

Just in time too because the bomb went off and exploded inside our shield.

The explosion was big enough to break my shield and crack Lisa's shield from just the initial blast.

Unfortunately, it wasn't over yet as even more explosions were being set off within the shield and more cracks started appearing around Lisa's shield.

At the rate it was going, we won't be able to contain it completely!

I gave out a mental command and all of my Shadow Guards that were currently summoned quickly used [Light Forge] to create layers upon layers of shields around the explosion, right before Lisa's shield shattered and the explosion blasted out from it.

The first few layers also broke apart but the rest managed to hold strong, containing the explosion within itself.

When the explosion subsided, Bracca's table was completely disintegrated and there was a black stain on the ground where his table used to be.

I did not relax after that as I wasn't sure if there were still more explosives hidden around the classroom and joined the search with my Shadow Guards.

"Master..."

I turned in the direction of the voice and I saw Eins looking at me while standing beside my table.

I figured she must have found something so I went over to her.

The moment I reached her, she stomped her foot on the ground which caused a part of the floor to break open, revealing a hidden compartment that was near my table.

When I got closer to the hole, I found another stash of bombs there though these were not hooked up to a timer.

Hmm... Looks like the guy was counting on the bombs exploding without us being able to do anything about it. The explosion would then cause this batch of bombs to blow up as well which might have killed me had the initial explosion not done so.

These explosives were easier to deal with since they weren't activated so I just stuffed them into my Pack of Folding, figuring that I could dispose of them later safely instead of right now.

Or... I could use them somewhere... I dunno.

I continued to search through the class for a while more but it doesn't seem like there were any other bombs.

Just as I let out a sigh of relief, the doors and windows suddenly opened up, as though they had been programmed to only open after a set amount of time had passed.

I turned to Lisa and she gave me the exact same look I was giving her.

No... I believe that the [Mask OF Impossible Identity] also blocks the screen from showing my stats to other Off-Worlders as well.

Maybe Bracca reported what he was doing while he was here to him and he deduced that his disappearance had something to do with me?

That's assuming he hasn't been watching us from somewhere either... Because I think that he might have even been just hiding in the bushes all this while and saw me conversing with Bracca before he disappeared...

Or... This bombing thing had some other goal in mind and he didn't intend to actually kill me specifically in the first place?

I wouldn't be able to get an answer right now anyway so everything was just my hypothesis.

I had another question though...

"How did he manage to lock us inside this class?"

Lisa shook her head, "I do not know either... If I had to guess... He most likely had an artefact that allows him to make changes to a set environment and also make rules that people are unable to break while inside it? He would have set the rule that this becomes an enclosed space."

"There's artefacts like that? That sounds pretty scary doesn't it? He could basically set up these zones all around the city and there would be nothing we would be able to do..."

Lisa shrugged, "That was just my guess... For all I know, he might have simply sabotaged the controls and it was only now that it was restored back to normal."

"Ok, less scary but doesn't that just mean that he might be inside the school right this very instant? Actually... The fact that he even managed to sneak inside here and plant those bombs without anyone noticing... That could only mean he has control over someone in the school doesn't it? Who else has access to this class except for you, Lisa?"

She shook her head, "While that might sound like a good place to start searching... The key to the classroom is shared... Meaning he could be anyone in the faculty who had gone to take the key or maybe he might have even stolen it..."

Damn... But still it does kind of confirm that our school has been compromised and he definitely has control over somebody within the school itself...

I turned to Lisa, "I will take this information back to the Queen... Hopefully she has already done her preparations and we can just go ahead and catch him... I really don't like the idea that he could have planted even more of these bombs all around the city..."

Lisa nodded, "It would be preferable if that wasn't his plan... Just in case, could you give me one of those bombs you took? Perhaps I could do some research on it and come up with a way to search or neutralise them in case he did plant them in the city?"

I was about to agree with her suggestion but paused when I thought that he might be nearby right now and I did not want to put Lisa in unnecessary situations.

"I'll hand you one after we get back home, Lisa... Perhaps Emilia might even be able to help with this."

"Alright... In that case I'll see you later, Aster. Please be safe."

She pulled me in and gave me a kiss before letting me go.

It was even a chaste kiss with no tongue, which told me she was quite worried for me.

I nodded to assure her before leaving for the Palace. Hopefully the Queen already has something for me...
