Chapter 43-2
Waking up from her thoughts, Skaya let out a deep sigh.
‘Haah. Let’s meet after the performance evaluation. Kane…geez.’
As she pouted her lips, a dark light suddenly burst out, causing the ground to shake like an earthquake.
What the…!
!.
Due to the earthquake, the surrounding trees are falling down one by one. The birds that were sitting comfortably on the branches flew away, flapping their wings as if running away.
“What?! What’s going on all of a sudden?”
In the midst of Skaya’s surprise and her eyes widening at the sudden situation, a voice from the bracelet given by the professors was heard.
[Emergency. Students taking the performance evaluation, use the transfer on your bracelet right away. I’ll say it again.]
With those words, Skaya immediately infused magic into her bracelet and used the transfer.
…
Meanwhile, at that moment.
Kim Soo-Yong eventually transferred while clicking his tongue because he couldn’t find the religious cult guys.
As he transferred, the surrounding scenery changed from trees to buildings.
Starting with Kim Soo-Yong, students began to appear one by one.
Well. Let’s start by looking for Kane.
He’s someone who knows about this situation just like himself.
So he might know what’s going on right now.
As he looked around for Kane, someone blurted out urgently.
“Excuse me! David von Kane is injured here!”
Kim Soo-Yong heard those words and ran towards the place to confirm what had happened.
Oh my god. This is insane.
It was impossible not to curse.
No wonder, Kane’s entire body was covered in wounds, and he was unconscious, to the point where it was uncertain how he was still alive.
The only fortunate thing was that there were no fatal injuries, but even then, he could die from bleeding if left him be.
Not only was he shocked, but nearby Eileen, Jenny, and Skaya also widened their eyes in surprise.
And then Eileen sobbed to the priest who was healing Kane.
“He, he won’t die, right?”
“… Yes. Fortunately, since there were no fatal injuries, I don’t think he will die.”
The three people listening let out a sigh of relief. Their expressions suddenly changed as their tension eased.
“But how did Kane get injured like that? He’s not weak enough to be hurt by a lesser monsters.”
In response to Skaya’s question, the other two nodded in agreement.
“I’m not sure who did it, but judging from the wounds, it’s probably not from a monster.”
Although Eileen and Skaya frowned at the priest’s words, they managed to suppress their anger at the thought of Kane being in danger.
‘Well, Kane is their friend, so it’s better to tell them the truth, right? Anyway, we’ll probably find out eventually, given the current situation.’
So, it doesn’t make a big difference if we tell them now or later.
“Hey, you guys are friends with Kane, right?”
At Kim Soo-Yong’s question, the two turned to him and nodded.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“No, actually, I’m his childhood friend.”
“I see. Anyway, Kane was like that… Ohh?.”
“It’s okay, Kim Soo-yong, I’ll tell them.”
As Kim Soo-Yong was about to speak, Kane regained consciousness and interrupted him, grimacing in pain.
Seeing Kane, Skaya and Eileen ran towards him and hugged him.
“Kane, Kane!”
“You bastard!”
Although the two hugged him with worried hearts, Kane, covered in wounds, groaned in pain, unaware of their feelings.
“Aaaah! I’m going to die!”
…
Kane, who had barely escaped from his pain, explained everything that had happened so far. Skaya, Eileen, Jenny, Kim Soo-Yong, and all the others who listened to the explanation had serious faces.
“So, you went towards the place where the dark light appeared earlier, and you were ambushed by a demon there?”
“Yes. And it seems like the cult summoned that demon.”
“Definitely. Apart from them, there are hardly any others who would do such a thing. Alright, then the evaluation is suspended. We’ll warp back immediately.”
At William’s words, the other professors and priests nodded their heads.
As the priests lifted Kane, who was still a patient, to go back immediately, an unexpected incident occurred when they put him into the warp gate.
“… Professor, the warp gate is not activating.”
“What? Why?”
“Yes.”
To confirm what had happened, Lucy approached the warp gate. She touched the device for a moment while interpreting.
-Keyaeak!
-Kreuleut!
-Kiaaaak!
Low-Level monsters outside the building started attacking, ignoring the barrier.
William, seeing this, furrowed his brow roughly as if annoyed, and scratched the back of his head.
“Oh, damn it. I’m already getting irritated, and now how did they break through the barrier?”
“Pro, Professor, monsters! I…!”
“Oh, I know.”
Saying that, William went outside. He opened his mouth, looking around with a tired face.
“There are too many of them. Is that work of that bastard? Tsk!”
William clicked his tongue and extended his fist lightly, without even looking at the Low-Level monsters.
-Hwoong!
The fist covered dozens of monsters with a newly formed white aura.
The monsters who took the attack head-on vanished into ashes without even a scream. Most of the students who saw this were amazed with their mouths open.
No wonder. William had such a strong image of being sloppy and careless that he had never thought of him as a professor at the Royal Academy. But now, seeing him show his power firsthand, they realized who he truly was.
“Sigh. Professor Lucy? How is it?”
“Yes, it seems that the magic is interfering with the operation of the warp gate device. In my opinion, we need to kill the demon that Kane mentioned to solve this. Oh, and it seems that the magic is also interfering with the barrier.”
There was a moment of silence inside the building. Shion broke the silence to take charge of the students.
“Is there anyone willing to go defeat the demon?”
At that point, Eileen and Skaya raised their hands with eager eyes.
Shion looked at the two of them.
Certainly, if it were any other time, these two with the greatest talents ever would be a great help.
Despite being a first-year student, they had already surpassed the level of students and were unlikely to be beaten by even professors except for their experience. However…
“The two of you can’t go.”
“”What, why?!””
The two of them were taken aback by Shion’s firm refusal.
Skaya asked with a puzzled expression, “Why can’t we go, Professor? Honestly, we are confident in our abilities.”
“Yes, I’ll be honest with you. Right now, you are emotionally driven because of Kane. You’ll only be a hindrance if you go in that state. So, while dealling the monsters that are coming, protect Kane. That’s your job.”
The two of them couldn’t say anything, biting their lips in frustration.
It was understandable since they were too angry to control their emotions.
“Then, I’ll go.”
“I’ll go too if Soo-Yong goes.”
“Same.”
Kim Soo-Yong and his teammates, Laine and Burke, raised their hands.
Not bad.
Kim Soo-Yong didn’t need to be mentioned, and although Burke was slightly less skilled, he wouldn’t be a hindrance at his level.
Laine was also good at buff and recovery spells, so she would be a great help.
“I understand. Then, I and Kim Soo-yong’s team will go with Professor William. The rest of the students will be led by Professor Byrne and Professor Lucy.”
“Okay. Don’t worry and feel free to come back here.”
Upon Shion’s words, Byrne nodded his head while holding and swinging his sword.
So, the protagonist and his team went outside the building to carry out the Demon Raid.
Meanwhile, at that time,
Kane watched with anticipation through his scope while eating popcorn as his obedient clones followed his orders.
