Chapter 6

Rebellion is the sixth chapter of the Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan manga.

Summary
Alice and Ikki are seen coming from the shadows of the terrorists who are overrunning the mall. Alice helps Ikki out of the shadow, after getting out herself, and explains that her ability is to control the shadows with her Device, Darkness Hermit. Alice then tells Ikki that the group currently attacking the mall is called Rebellion, a group of terrorist Blazers who believe they are the chosen ones. Ikki, before taking any action, calls Kurono, who seems to already have a grasp on the situation at hand. He asks her for permission of use for his, Alice's, Shizuku's and Stella's Devices which she agrees to. She informs Ikki that Rebellion wants ransom and the good in the mall, their usual fundraiser tactics. Kurono also informs Ikki that the hostages are at the food court and Alice offers to use her Shadow Walk ability to get them there in an instant.

Ikki and Alice appear at part of the floor on top of the food court, and look down at the hostages and the Rebellion members, they saw Stella covering her face, figuring she maybe found out. They have figured they should not attack until they understand the situation a little better, as there seems to be a Rebellion member missing. A kid is then seen pushing against one of the Rebellion members protecting his mom, but this only infuriates the member who shoots the gun at the mother and son. They are, however, by a now revealed Stella, as she burns the bullets, telling Shizuku to stay hidden.

The other Rebellion members begin to fire at Stella but she activates her Empress Dress and is able to render the bullets ineffective. This had caused an uproar with the other hostages who tried to rush the rebellion members, but Stella told them to calm down as she figured there was only one blazer in the Rebellion group. The 'apostle', Rebellions Blazer, reveals himself, identifying as Bishou. Bishou berates one of the Rebellion members for touching the hostages, but quickly stops and points a gun to the child and mother, threatening to shoot them. Stella is provoked by this and activates her Device and attacks Bishou. Bishou, however is unaffected as he holds Stella's Device without remotely being injured. He knocks back Stella, and explains that his device is named Judgement Ring, with one ring being able to absorb and the other being able to redirect attacks. Bishou, mockingly, then compliments Stella for her brave actions, and decides to give her a way to save the child's life, by stripping naked in front of everyone, knowing that Stella can't say no, as Ikki explains. Stella agrees to the terms, and strips to her underwear, beginning to cry. Ikki, angered at Bishou's actions, tries to jump down but is restrained by Alice's Shadow Bind, telling Ikki to wait for Shizuku, who is creating a water barrier. Shizuku then activates the water barrier, surprising everyone there, and Ikki jumps down from the third floor and cuts Bishou's arms off, before Bishou could grab him. Ikki then congratulates Alice for clearing the rest of the enemies away, but Alice points out that Stella was the one to do it. Ikki runs to Stella and gives her a hug and apologizes for being too slow and allowing Stella to shame herself. Shizuku then gives Stella her clothes and congratulates her as well, being very impressed with her brave actions. Ikki asks Shizuku to heal Bishou as he may bleed out, but before she can, a rebellion member reveals himself from the hostages, holding a woman hostage, as Bishou demands Shizuku to heal him. Shizuku, however, is not able to as an invisible Blazer uses his arrows to put down both Bishou and the last Rebellion member for good.

Ikki recognizes the Blazer as Shizuya Kirihara, who mocks Ikki for still being at the school. Ikki is then relieved as Alice brings in the police to arrest the rebellion members. Kirihara then mocks Ikki's strength, angering Stella who states that Ikki is far stronger then him. Kirihara, however, laughs stating that Ikki was the one who was too scared to fight him, shocking Stella.
