Chapter 319

Chapter 318

The students’ eyes grew as wide as saucers when the missiles, which flashed with purple light, suddenly appeared in front of them.

After being targeted by a missile, one of the students lost strength in his legs and fell down to the ground. He trembled. If he had just been a second too late, he would have already been torn into pieces and crushed by that missile

This sense of crisis drove the students into a panic. It did not help that all they could see were vast plains and the dense forest.

“What, what the hell was that thing that flew over...?”

“It seems like the Great Sage wants to give you all a good source of enlightenment. Then, I have to live up to that expectation, right? Megatron. CS Nausea Bullet at maximum output. Launch.”

A moment later, a voice from hell rang loudly in the students’ ears. Then, dozens of purple missiles appeared in the sky above them. Looking up, they thought that they had experienced something similar before...

“No way...”

Poof!

A disaster soon fell from the sky above. There was no explosion, but the students saw light being accompanied by an eerie sound.

Fwiiiiiiiiiish!!!

“What’s this?! It’s spreading on the ground! What the hell did that lunatic do again?!”

The students had experienced a similar situation before, so they did have an idea of what they could do. With the ability to cast Shield Magic, they immediately casted a line of connecting shields to protect their peers.

Unfortunately, their skill in Shield Magic was not strong and precise enough to prevent the flow of air.

“Huh? What’s this smell...?”

“Keok?!”

“Heup?! Urgh!!! Ughhh!!!”

All hell broke loose. With smoke stinging their eyes and covering the entire area, the struggling students collapsed on the ground. They completely forgot to keep casting their magic.

“Keuaaaaaaaack! My eyes! My eyes!!!”

“It’s stinging! I can’t breathe!”

To the students, this situation had come as a complete surprise. They had thought that Instructor Devy, no, Prince Davey was going to do something else. Right now, their relationship was not between instructor and students; their relationship was between a high-ranking person, a Saint, and visiting students from a magic academy.

However, taking that out of consideration, the students knew that their instructor was someone who would do unimaginable things willingly and with conviction as long as he was given a purpose.

All of them were prepared for a possible raid, but none of them had expected the raid to come in the form of an unknown smoke that gave them what seemed to be motion sickness. They could not even control their bodies as their heads spun fiercely. Tears and snot stained their young faces as the smoke entered their bodies. In fact, their mouths hung wide open as they could not help but drool.

It was literally hell on earth. The sudden appearance of the unknown smoke had dragged the faces of the sons and daughters of noble and royal families down to the ground.

Some of the students immediately rubbed and wiped their faces clean of whatever stains they had.

“Aaaaaaaack!”

“My, my breath! I can’t breathe!”

“Don’t rub your faces! Don’t wipe it!” shouted the quick-witted Josiah at her classmates.

She had a red face and bloodshot eyes. After seeing the faces of the other students who had inhaled the smoke, she quickly covered her nose and mouth.

“We, we have to get away from this place! W-We won’t be able to breathe here!”

The students finally realized that the smoke could not be dealt with through their shields, so they decided to escape from the area where the missiles continued to rain down and create even more smoke.

Before they could run far away, they were suddenly brought into a desperate situation that brought back terrible memories.

What was shame when they had been plunged into misery? All the students could only think about running away from here and breathing fresh air right away.

“Open up!!!”

“Kyaaack! I hate this! Let me go! I hate it!” Alyssa Yosefov slammed her body against the barrier with her hands still covering her nose and mouth.

She could guess exactly how she looked without even seeing her face.

“You’re doing well. Megatron, note that down. Refrain from using any killing move and just overpower them.”

After that observation, the crying students heard a loud roar and flinched. They desperately tried to open their eyes only to see a metal giant with a large and bizarre saw in one hand and a gigantic and vicious drill, a weapon that looked like a weird cylinder, in the other.

“D-Dodge!!!” some of the students shouted in unison, instinctively realizing the danger in front of them.

The metal giant took a huge step forward and began traumatizing the students, who would never forget this incident in their lives.

***

The students were all lying on the messy and chaotic field with blank looks on their faces. Despite the exhaustion seeping through their bones, they still could not help the laugh that escaped from their mouths.

“Ha... We survived, right?” Timmy murmured in a daze as he slowly sat up.

The smoke that had created hell on earth and the metal giant that had attacked them so suddenly had shown power that was beyond anyone’s imagination.

“Molly. Molly, are you alr...?

Pfft...

“But why would a Saint become a magic academy instructor?”

“How would I know that...? Shit!!!” A student suddenly shouted in surprise when he looked up at the sky. “They’re coming again!”

“That lunatic is making a move again!”

“R-Run!!!”

“I don’t want to do this anymore!”

Shrieks and screams rang loudly in the field once again as the four metal giants, that had suddenly disappeared earlier on, came back as if they had been waiting for this moment.

This time, there was a metal giant with a huge shield and an agile-looking metal giant were added to the mix. Of course, there was also the most imposing golem with a drill, which now carried a silver-haired little girl with an expressionless face on its head.

“Rinne will also participate in the second round of battle. Message from Davey.”

The students gulped dryly.

“You won’t die. So, don’t worry and try to desperately resist and fight back.”

“This, this crazy shit?!”

Poof!

Fwiiiiiiiiiiish!

The students’ expressions turned dark at the sight of the smoke which had given them motion sickness earlier on.

“Rinne evaluates stress relief very highly. Judging that the students taught by Davey can get through the crisis perfectly. Rinne will increase the difficulty,” Rinne said, gathering the particles of light in her hand and creating a dark iron bar.

Before the students could even react, Rinne dug into their ranks, pulled a student by the leg, and spun him around slowly. No matter how one looked at this situation, she appeared to be ready to throw the student away.

“That’s, that’s not true, right? Tell me that’s not true! I, I don’t want this!”

“Evaluates this very highly.”

“Celvice!”

“No! It’s too late. Let’s sacrifice Celvice as bait and run away!”

“The, the smoke is coming! Run!!!”

“Damn it! The wind is starting to blow in our direction! How can the weather be so damn erratic?!”

The students shouted desperately as they charged into the forest without looking back.

***

Since a decision had been made, then Davey’s follow-up actions should be made quickly too. He threw a sphere of light that was charged with sparks before catching it with his bare hands. Then, he pulled out a very expensive yet compact communication tool, which only covered a short range.

However, it was a tool that would have no problems connecting him to the Red Tower’s topmost floor.

“Great Sage.”

[Hmm? If it isn’t Prince Davey.]

The old man sounded quite surprised.

[This call must have been made using a short-range communication tool... How can you contact...?]

“It seems like you made Class F do something interesting.”

After listening to what Davey had to say, Great Sage Hellison Valestia roared with laughter through the communication tool.

[Shouldn’t the students know who their teacher is?]

“That’s for me to decide. It seems like you’re quite busy, huh?”

[Well, it’s nothing. I just happened to have a flash of inspiration for my research. I’ve been doing experiments since two days ago.]

‘Oh my. That’s perfect.’

“Since you’ve sent them to find me in Heins Territory, then I thought that I should give you my thanks.”

[Hoho. It would already be a relief if this old man’s nosiness had helped you. However...did you come here just to say that? Where are you contacting me from?

Tch, tch.

You didn’t come in person, right?]

“I’m already here. You don’t have to insist on me doing the other,” Davey said calmly, a grim smile painted on his face. “Well, you had good intentions. I could roughly tell what you wanted to show them by sending them here. But you know...”

[Hmm?]

“They looked like they had seen the end of the world as soon as they saw me.”

[What? Bwahahahahahaha! It’s a natural response especially with how harsh your lessons were. Hohoho. Think of it as this old man’s trivial joke.]

“There’s no way you were unaware of it, right? Well, there’s nothing to make a fuss or get angry about. However, I have to make sure to repay you for your grace and kindness. I’ve prepared a small gift for you.”

[A, a gift?]

The flustered voice of the quick-witted old fogey rang in Davey’s ears.
