Chapter 254: Chapter 254 The girls fight.

After listening to what the girls had in mind, Soma, with a shrugged shoulder, stopped the topic and switched the topic to the one who posed the question instead.

"What are you guys doing here?".

"The truth is we have been waiting for you". S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"For what?".

"Soma!".

"Hm?! What's the matter Xiao Lian?".

Soma locked amusedly to Xiao Lian's behaviour, rarely showing her enthusiastic side. He began to listen to her explanation and understand why all of them were waiting for him.

"That was too dangerous".

"Right, Soma also said it was dangerous. We should just end our exploration and go back home".

Serafina cut in line while giving everyone her peace of mind. Hina and Xiao Lian looked sullen, which made her feel a bit guilty, but this couldn't be done recklessly. If they wanted to get stronger, at least they could do it with patience.

"Well, If you want to challenge it. I will supported you guys".

"This brat!".

"Really?".

"Soma you sure?".

The angered Serafina got shoved to the side by Xiao Lian and Hina, who stood in front of him with gleams in their eyes. Soma nodded his head and warned them solemnly.

"You guys formed a party first, so that the experience point you guys get will get shared evenly".

"Party?".

"With Red hair?".

A bud of uncertainty began to sprout between the two girls as they exchanged glances at each other. Serafina, seeing a hesitation on their side, beamed.

"You two can't do that?".

However, with a slight push from Soma, both of them shake hands, and a party forms between them.

Looking at them, Soma decides to ignore Serafina's glare and asks the two of them to lead him toward the place.

While walking, Soma alternated his gaze between the girls in front of him and Serafina, who walked with a glaring dagger at him from the side.

"I will talk to you later!".

"...Is that all?".

"Yeah, please".

Both of them turned quiet. After looking at Soma's serious face, Serafina dismissed the anger she had accumulated in her heart.

They reached the corner of the room; true to their words, the place smelled of danger, and his instinct skill also flared up nonstop.

Soma watched the two girls, who seemed to be fidgeting before the fight; he approached them.

"What's wrong, nervous?".

Even though they have their fair share of fighting a monster in groups, the terms about Monster House still make them nervous.

"Yeah, quitely".

"Mm, Me too".

Soma grabbed their cold hands and gripped them tight. The girls who felt his firm and warm hand on theirs blushed, especially Xiao Lian, whose heart almost burst in her chest.

Hina, on the other hand, feels slightly nostalgic about his method. Soma used to do it for her when inside the trial gate to calm her heart. This time, it also had a quite impact on calming her heart and clearing her mind. She gripped back his hand and spoke.

"Soma, watch me".

"I will".

Xiao Lian, who saw Hina getting ready, also gripped Soma's hand and spoke.

"I will definitely succeed".

"I know and I believe you".

With one last grip from their connected hands, they separated and faced the traps. The girls inhaled a deep breath and exhaled it in one go.

"Miss Violet, please".

Hearing a resolute tone from Hina, Violet, with knitted brows, threw one of her knives at the traps, and it greatly shook the space around them.

The land began to shake, and its structure expanded from a narrow corner into a vast space soon occupied by monsters. The ground began to rise, and multiple golems were born from it.

Simultaneously, Hina and Xiao Lian, who didn't want to wait for their enemy to fully resurrection, dashed forward and, with weapons in hand, destroyed their core one by one, raining their vision with a notification.

…

However, after they defeated the first one, the ground began to accumulate and give birth to another golem monster.

The two girls unconsciously began to move in sync and defeat the monster in an orderly manner. They moved with precision so that they didn't disrupt each other from obliterating the vulnerable golem slightly after being born.

Occasionally, when their enemy was far away, they would use their magic, the basic one at that, but filled with intensity, to char the golem or pierce it with ice.

Soma, who saw them from the side, marvelled at their coordination as if they had been a team since they were children. Xiao Lian, who moves relying on her battle instinct, keeps dancing on the battlefield, showered by dust and experience that pleases her heart. This is one of the reasons she came to the Academy: to get strong, to find a cure to save her mother, and to protect someone dear to her.

Hina moves based on her tactical mind, keeping up with Xiao Lian's beast-like movement. Thanks to the additional stats from her weapon, she is granted a bonus in agility that gives her some advantage in speed and stamina. For the first time, she felt freed from her restraint and could become herself again.

A girl who is obsessed with power from anyone else, a girl who always chases the figure she admires and loves, now she unleashes all of it in this battle and wants to prove to him that she will eventually reach his place.

The rate of the monster's resurrection spiked, gradually overwhelming the girls, who seemed out of breath. Dozens of golems had awoken from the ground and currently encircled the two girls.

Serafina and Lucy knit their brows in worry, ready to dash to help them. But not with Soma. He still calmly watched the battle and wanted to see how far the girls could handle it.

Hina pulled Xiao Lian to her back and they were trusting their back to each other.

"Hei, Silver hair, do you still have the potion Soma gave you?".

"Fuu, Yes"

"Drink it for now, I will deal with the monster".

"Mm, Okay".

Seeing that she was being surrounded, Hina parted her lips, smiled fearlessly, and created dozens of magic circles that shone in blazing orange. With a clenched motion from her hand, the magic circle began to create a swirling flame that formed a lance pointed at the dozens of newly born golems.

"Disperse!".

A single command from here is enough to launch the lance that obliterated every golem that touched it. The ground beneath them shook and forced them to separate.

Hina, who worried about Xiao Lian, witnessed her being fine with renewed vigour after gulping the Mana potion. She began to concentrate on the golem in front of her. "Looking at their numbers, it seemed more than twenty golems had been born in a single blink. Which means that we are entering a new wave," Hina muttered.

Another same magic circle formed around Hina before she cast it aside and obliterated the monster in her sight.

"Nice".

Xiao Lian, on the other hand, had little mana compared to Hina and kept thrusting her spear. With each thrust, the golem crumbles, and if it's far away from her place, she will use an ice lance to destroy it.

Gradually, her gaze swayed, and her vision shook for a moment, but she gritted her teeth, clenched the spear in her hands, and rushed toward the next enemy.

Serafina and Lucy, who were fidgeting, saw their juniors fighting that many golems, just the two of them. This made them swept away, and they wanted to plunge into the fray and help them.

Soma, who saw their restless appearance, sighed and opened his mouth.

"Sera help them from afar, make sure to inflict a certain damage to weaken the golem so that they wouldn't get overwhelmed by numbers".

"Oh, Okay".

"Senior Lucy plese buff them with your light magic so that the hunting will get faster".

"Understood".

Serafina launched herself above the ground while Lucy began to clasp her palms and give the two people on the battlefield a buff.

Both of them were stunned initially, but after they saw what Lucy was doing, they resumed their hunting.

The effect was terrific. The battle began to tilt toward the girls. With the help of their seniors, the battle will be finished in no time.

"Keep pushing guys!".

At the same time, he finished saying those words, his instinct rang an alarm about the danger that would come.

"Hina, Xiao Lian scatter".

Hearing Soma shout, both of them leapt back and regrouped with Lucy, who stood in the back of the front lines.

The ground beneath them shook, and a massive figure of a golem that stood ten meters tall loomed over them.

"Mega Golem".

As usual, Hina's nerd side escaped her lips when she saw a strong monster in sight.

[First Step - Lightning scatter]

[Second Steps - Lightning descent]

In a blink, after the golem resurrected, its legs pulverized, and then its hands were destroyed from its shoulder. A Mega golem who lost its limbs, pulled by gravity, slammed its body to the ground.

The golem's body was facing the ceiling. Soma swept his backhand around the golem's chest, destroying its outer shell and exposing its core. He turned to Hina and Xiao Lian, who were still dumbfounded about what had happened.

"Finish it!".

Hina snapped back, first launching herself into the air, then diving toward the golem's chest and easily destroying the core.
