Nameless King

Blind Sorcerer, Reine, and their disciples entered the Misty Forest. The dry trees and thick fog gave the place an eerie atmosphere. The students were tense, even though they had walked only a few yards from the entrance.

"It's nastier here than I thought it would be." Ron muttered as he looked around.

"Huh, it's called a sense of danger. You've lost that feeling since you've been at the academy too long. I know it's weird to hear this from a teacher, but the fear of doing poorly on an exam or getting a bad grade it's all... meaningless. That's what you should be afraid of." Blind Sorcerer pointed forward.

The students stared, but they saw nothing. The fog was a barrier to them. Only Blind Sorcerer could see the enemy as the mana streams were visible from any distance.

"In a few seconds, we will be attacked. Get ready. Miss Reine and I will not assist you, only in critical cases." Blind Sorcerer jumped back.

Everyone was tense. The students often fought each other, but this was sparring, and they knew what their opponents were capable of. Actual combat with an unknown enemy was on an entirely different level.

"I see!" Ron exclaimed as he pointed forward.

Two bright red lights appeared in the fog, they were the eyes of the monster. It was slowly approaching them.

"I'll attack first!" Ron ran forward.

A gravity spear appeared in his hand. He swung it at once he was close enough to the monster.

The monster reacted quickly and jumped aside. The monster's claws were covered in flames as it pounced on Ron.

"Die!" Ron threw the spear straight.

The weapon pierced the monster, so the gravitational force tore its flesh apart.

"Not bad." Blind Sorcerer nodded.

"Ron!" Miss Reine said excitedly.

"Wait."

She wanted to run up to him, but Blind Sorcerer stopped her.

"Look at him. Do you really think he needs your support right now?" Blind Sorcerer pointed at Ron, "What he needs now is as many monsters as possible."

Reine looked at Ron as her eyes went wide. He was smiling, and his hands were trembling slightly. He had killed monsters before, but then he felt no danger. This was something new to Ron.

"There's more! There are more monsters!" one of the students shouted.

A multitude of fierce eyes stared at them out of the fog. The monsters were looking for their prey, they skirted Reine and Blind Sorcerer, these two were too strong for them. However, the students were weak.

Whoosh.

The two purple wolves burst out of the mist and pounced on Lois.

He was frightened but could come to his senses quickly and attack. A golden beam pierced one wolf, but the second had already opened its mouth wide, the monster was ready to devour Lois.

Crackle.

Suddenly Kaya appeared beside Lois. She pierced the wolf's head with an icy crystal with a cold stare. The monster's blood splattered on her face, she didn't even frown, she just tossed the monster's corpse aside.

"My commanding officer has done quite well, hasn't he?" Blind Sorcerer grinned.

"Yeah... I guess so..." Reine muttered uncertainly.

This situation was stressing her out, the monsters had already attacked them, even though they had only just entered, events were moving too fast.

"Okay, looks like we're done with monsters!" Blind Sorcerer said loudly, "We'll go a little further and have a temporary halt."

The students nodded and split into two larger groups.

Blind Sorcerer and Reine walked behind them. They observed the situation.

Various monsters attacked them several times along the way, but the students had no trouble dealing with them. Ron and Kaya were ahead of everyone else in the number of monsters killed. They each defeated seven monsters, the other students no more than two or three.

"I didn't know Kaya was so strong. Maybe she could even compete with Ron." Reine muttered.

"She's not bad, but that's only against weak monsters. Ron's gravitational magic is too strong. There's no way Kaya can compete with him yet." Blind Sorcerer said seriously, "Let's stop here. This is a good place."

"Yes."

They made a halt by a rock in the middle of the woods. The fog wasn't as thick in this spot, the area was clearly visible, and the students could finally rest.

Some hadn't even fought once, but they were mentally exhausted. Ron's and Kaya's battle scenes shook them, they needed time to catch their breath.

"Miss Reine, I'll go scout, keep an eye on the camp for now."

"Are you sure? It could be dangerous."

"Don't worry about me. No one in this forest is a threat to me. In fact, I am the biggest danger here." Blind Sorcerer smiled strangely, but Reine paid it no mind.

"Good."

Blind Sorcerer nodded as he disappeared.

'Huh, what a trickster, he deliberately brought them here, as close to the monsters as possible.' Wain muttered inwardly.

The rock was a hundred yards from the hut. If not for the fog, the students would have been able to spot it.

"At last, I will be able to enjoy the show, it will be a nice bonus for all my efforts." Blind Sorcerer muttered, "I'll still need to take care of something, though."

Click.

Blind Sorcerer snapped his fingers. The crack in the basement turned into a portal.

"Great, we're getting started. Looks like I waited for the first part, eh... how I hate waiting..." The skeleton muttered as he stepped out of the cage. He simply slid the iron bars apart, the spells no longer in his way.

The other monsters followed him. They were given freedom and a chance to spout their bloodlust.

"Okay, now you, my sweetheart." Blind Sorcerer snapped his fingers once more.

Whoooosh.

A horde of monsters ran past him, they raced toward the camp. At that moment, Reine suddenly felt worse, nauseous, and her eyes blurred.

She could hardly stay on her feet, her strength gradually leaving her.
