Chapter 562 (2/2)
For example, its optical camouflage. He knew that it refracted light to camouflage, but he didn’t have any concrete information about how stealthy it and how much of a threat it was.
And so, the class went on with the conversation between Fran and the old teacher. The students were trying their best to understand, but it seemed to be quite difficult for them.
It was too powerful to be real, and its abilities were too diverse to be imagined. He tried to explain them with diagrams on the blackboard, but they couldn’t seem to get the hang of it.
「Umm, Morley-sensei」
「Charon-kun, do you need something?」
「I’m having a hard time imagining what the magic beast you’re talking about looks like, so why don’t we use a magic beast book now? I’ll be back in 15 minutes to fetch it」
「Hmm, you’re right」
Normally, he would bring a magic beast book from the library and show the pages to the class.
Then, Fran pulled out something from the dimensional storage.
「This」
「C-could it be! An Invisible Death’s Scale!?」
「Nn」
「D-do you have anything else?」
「I kept all of it with me」
「A-all of it? Could it be, you have a whole Invisible Death with you!?」
「Nn? I also got two of them」
The moment Fran nodded; the old teacher let out a crazy scream.
「Uhiihoo! C-can you show that to us? Wha? No, for the sake of the young students’ studies, by all means, please let us see it!」
It was definitely for his interests, wasn’t it?
「This class is too narrow」
「Let’s move! Let’s go right away! Come on! Everybody gets ready to move! Let’s get to the dissection room!」
They all moved to the dissection room after that. On the way, she was also bombarded with questions from the old teacher.
The dissection room we arrived at was much larger than I had imagined, and the ceiling was also quite high. It was made large enough to dissect even a large magic beast.
Moreover, there were several support magic circles painted on the floor. These magic circles help to preserve the blood of the magic beast during dissection.
In the middle of it, Fran pulled out the corpse of an Invisible Death. This one was still untouched, the one that she had killed before her training.
The corpse of the giant beast, over 10 meters in length, clad all over with crystal as thick as a pillar, attracted everyone’s eyes with its overwhelming presence. Both teacher and students were speechless in front of the huge beast with the scars of the fierce battle still fresh on it.
Even if they already knew it with knowledge, the impression of it was different when they actually saw it in front of them.
The corpse of the Invisible Death had a foul odor as some of its bodily fluids and internal organs flowed out. It had been stored in the dimensional storage, so it wouldn’t rot. So, this might be the original smell of its internal organs.
I was impressed that none of the students felt sick or frowned at the smell. It seems that this was the result of their regular dissection and dismantling activities.
「I’ve brought it out」
「O-oooh… It’s wonderful… Everyone! Make sure you observe it carefully! You may never have the chance to see a magic beast with a threat level of B up close like this again!」
The old teacher shouted, and took the initiative to start observing the carcasses of the magic beasts. Seeing this, the students scattered around it and started sketching.
「Fran, can you tell me more about this magic beast?」
「C-can we join too?」
It was a group of female students, led by Charon, who approached us.
「Nn. Okay」
「Thank you very much」
「Then, let’s start with the most annoying part. The tail. There’s a hole here, from here―」
「I see―」
「And then, there’s this―」
「What about its ability―」
While listening to Fran’s simple explanations, Charon and the others responded with exaggerated reactions. Fran seemed to be getting into the mood with their reactions. She then continued her explanation with great eloquence that was quite unimaginable for someone like Fran.
The boys, watching them, gradually came closer and closer to Fran and the others. Some of them even started to ask questions. I guess they realized that they didn’t need to be afraid of Fran any more than they needed to be after actually interacting with her.
They all listened to Fran’s story of her fierce battle with the Invisible Death, and the difficulties she faced in finishing it off.
The class was a little sidetracked, but I hope this has brought her even closer to her classmates.
