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…” Timmy laughed after helping Molly, who could not lift herself off of the ground, up.
“Don’t look! Don’t look!!!” Molly freaked out, covering her face with one hand and recklessly slapping Timmy with the other.
“Uwaack! Ack! Stop! Stop!”
Molly Saelyn was usually calm and timid, but she had shown a rather violent reaction. This was unsurprising because…
When the smoke had vanished, the students could finally breathe fresh air and…look at one another’s faces. They realized that all of them looked completely disastrous, their faces dripping with tears, snot, and even drool.
The noble and royal daughters of the Tionis Continent had learned how to groom themselves and mind their appearance from a very early age. As for the sons, they had been trained to restrain themselves and were educated to protect the women in their households.
As for these students who had come from families that strictly upheld this type of education, it was only natural that they would react so strongly to having their appearances severely altered to such a state. This was especially true for the boys and girls with plenty of dreams.
Molly covered her red face with her hands. “Waaaaah! I won’t be able to get married anymore…”
“Sob… Sob, sob…”
The male students were quite used to their own beaten up and ugly looks, so they could laugh and joke at each other’s faces. However, the female students were all in mourning.
“Bwahahahahahahaha! Oyyy! Josiah. Your mug must be worth a lot of mo… Keoheok!”
Timmy, who was very enthusiastic about teasing Josiah whenever he got the opportunity, ended up flying through the air. He had been punched by Josiah.
“Clean…” Josiah used Clean Magic, quickly returning her face to its original state. She could not help but grind her teeth despite already trampling Timmy. She growled, “You like that, right? You really like it to the point of dying, right?”
Punch! Punch!
“Keok! Let’s, let’s talk it out! How can a noble lady act this violent…?!”
Punch!
“You need to get hit.”
Timmy, who had teased not only Josiah but many more of the female students, received the wrath of the girls who had finally cleaned their faces with Clean Magic.
“Die! TImmy!”
“Damn Timmy!”
“Keok!!! Keheok!”
Although Timmy was the son of a duke, the importance of one’s rankings and classes were completely irrelevant to the students. Well, Timmy was just the son of the duke and was not the duke himself.
In the end, the students were still sons and daughters of noble families. They did not receive any noble titles.
Timmy became their punching bag. In the end, he could only roll away from the girls with a dying expression on his face while shouting, “Damn it! It’s that damn vicious teacher who created this situation! Why are you taking it out on me?!”
“Ah, I don’t care! The instructor is not a normal human. We won’t be able to land any attacks even if we try to hit him!”
“What?! Are you trying to make us go against that damn lunatic?! It’s better to hit you instead!”
“T-That’s right! T-Timmy was the one who laughed at us when he saw our face. D-Don’t you know that it’s rude to do something like that?!”
The atmosphere between Timmy and the female students was so bad that the other boys simply sat on the ground to watch. They did not even think about intervening for Timmy.
“He reaped what he had sown.”
“Did he forget how much the girls of our class have changed?”
How could these boys forget? During the Magic Festival, Josiah had trampled the representatives of Class A on her own. She had done it so easily that it was as if she had just dusted off her shoulders.
The girls of Class F, who had always smiled and exuded a ladylike air due to their noble and mage backgrounds, had grown slightly twisted after having experienced hell for just a few days.
“By the way… Where did those metal monsters disappear to?”
“I know right. They disappeared in an instant after trampling on us like that.”
“The instructor?”
“Ha…”
As soon as the word ‘instructor’ came out, all of the students’ faces turned dark and stiff.
“Is… Is Saint Davey really our Instructor Devy?”
“…”
“Somebody please tell me that that’s not the case at all…”
“The world is truly going to get ruined. That guy is a disaster who has descended this world!”
“A Saint… A Saint is an existence that conveys the words of God, right? Then… Does that mean that God is disappointed in this world? That’s why she has sent that guy down to destroy the continent?”
One of the female students, who was dabbing her eyes with her handkerchief, carefully raised her hands amidst the discussion of conspiracy theories between her classmates. She said, “But, you know? Let’s say that Instructor Devy is truly Saint Davey. Then, does that mean that we’ve come on this field trip just to meet the instructor and see what he can do as a Saint?”
That was the most questionable part. All of the students knew that someone with holy mana would not be able to handle elemental magic. The elements were complex and powerful, and they could only pair up with basic mana, which was used with the sword, and spirit mana.
As for the other types? They were too harsh and incompatible with elemental mana.
“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.
