Chapter 140: Eliminating Class 1A+ (1/2)
Class 1S quickly began preparing. First, they sent a scout to look at the situation at Class 1E+, Class 1A-, and Class 1D-, specifically the 3 other classes in the southwest of Floating Mountain. What they discovered afterward was that Class 1E+ and Class 1A- is currently busy fighting against each other so they are not a threat anymore, while on the other hand Class 1D- only has a few men guarding at their base, maybe they are trying to attack Class 1B+ with their ally Class 1D+ at the north.
Although that also implies now that they can easily eliminate Class 1D-, they still decided not to since they have another goal in mind.
Moreover, if they dare interfere with other class businesses at the early stage of the trial competition, they would obviously be viewed as shameless and without any honor, and hence other classes would definitely be allied together to eliminate a threat like them. After all, if every time a class tries to engage with another class, and a third-class would actually try to benefit from it by attacking their unguarded base, then that would naturally spell danger for them. Hence, it's pretty natural to eliminate such a threat who doesn't even know the word fair fight and how to wait for their own turn. Unless of course if this third class joins the battle fairly.
Leo also agreed with such unspoken rules as he also doesn't want such a thing to happen to his Class 1S-.
”Finished?” Leo turned to look at the students of Class 1S.
”Yeah,” Justine replied, ”By the way, how can we communicate with your side? Do you need to go back first and we wait?”
”They are already waiting for my signal over there!” Leo replied as he looked behind Justine. He then discovered Dylan with his left hand and right-hand man, Adam, and Baden, who decided to stay to protect their base with 2 other classmates.
So, the rest of the Class 1S would be the students coming with him to attack Class 1A+.
”Okay, let's go!” Leo nodded his head as he walked at the front of Class 1S, heading straight to the base of Class 1A+.
.....
After a few hours of walking and resting for a bit to fully recover their energy, Leo and the Class 1S finally arrived nearby the Class 1A+ base.
Leo then quickly observe their opposite side for a bit as he finally spotted the sign that his classmates, the Class 1S-, are currently nearby at this moment, too.
”They're in position, I'll send the signal!” Leo turned to look at Class 1S, which they quickly nodded in reply.
”May I ask what kind of signal?” Justine can't help but suddenly asked.
Leo just replied with a mischievous smile on his face as he began his acting of summoning a Golem.
Justine's mouth became wide open in shock as he can't believe that Leo is actually capable of summoning Golems. And it's 4 Golems too, something really astonishing for a No Star Mage to do.
Well, it's not really that impossible to summon that many. In fact, the majority of those Mages that use Golems as their shield could even summon 5 or more Golems, since it's pretty easy to do it with its mere requirements of having enough Mana Capacity and also being able to cast the specific Magic spell, Golem Summoning, an Earth Element Magic Spell.
However, Golems aren't usually used during battles like this, since they are not strong enough, roughly they can only take 10 or 15 Magic spells to themselves before crumbling down, though it sometimes depends on those Mages that had summoned the Golem.
What shocked Justine though was not that but the form of Leo's Golems.
Looking at Leo's Golems, it seems like the Golems are not the usual ones. In fact, it's like those Battle Golems that are mostly used during wars.
The difference between the ordinary Golems and Battle Golems was the fact that the former is only a shield while the latter is both a shield and a sword, or even more. Simply put, the Battle Golems are powerful weapons of war.
To be honest, Evangelion didn't actually mention that the form of Leo's Golems was now of a Battle Golems as he wanted the latter to not always conceal his own strengths. In his opinion, the more Leo tries to hide his real capability, the more the people wanted to investigate the secrets he is hiding behind him. So, it's much better to reveal some information from time to time in order to make those people who are currently investigating for information about Leo to feel calm.
The same as what Madam Silva had said before. The window is invented to see what's behind the wall, and if ever those people cannot see what's behind the wall, then they will have no choice but to make a window themselves.
In such a situation, Leo would definitely encounter people that would want to forcefully make a window of their own to discover the secret behind his wall. Like for example, ask Leo for a fight, or put Leo in a dangerous situation, in such a way he would reveal his secret.
At this moment, one of the students from Class 1A+ quickly spotted the approaching Golems.
”Golems!”
”Prepare yourselves!”
”Vancouver already warned us about this, don't panic and always remain calm. Pay special attention to your surroundings too, in case the summoner tries to secretly attack us!”
Many shouts behind the Class 1A+ wall sounded as soon as the Golems slowly made its way towards the wall. The wall was soon after covered by many Mages on the top as they began preparing for the upcoming battle.
”What did you do to make them so prepared like that?” Justine suddenly asked as soon as he saw the Class 1A+ preparation. It seems like Class 1A+ had even specifically prepared this formation to target Leo's Golems, too.
”Nothing much, one of them only saw me eliminating Class 1B awhile ago,” Leo replied seemingly nonchalantly. It wasn't really a big deal as he was sure that some other from the three Class 1E's is capable of such a feat, too. Especially that Monster named Axel.
Justine can't help but feel dumbfounded. Though, he quickly shook his head to forget about it. Many more shocking things would definitely appear the longer this trial competition goes on, specifically from those three Class 1E's as they have the majority of powerful 1st-year student Monsters in their respective class.
”Cast your Magic spells towards those Mages up on the top of that wall! Absolutely don't let them cast any Magic spells towards our Golems!” Justine finally signals his classmates to start the battle.
