It was known as the land under Specter’s protection, and even stepping foot there made fiends nervous
decided his destination, the Heavenly Deh the puddles of blood
Twenty-three fiends entered Nest They were Squadron members, so they were exceptionally powerful
o to the ht now!”
The students couldn’t even say anything, and the only thing their teachers could do was endure the attacks
htly, and fear was quickly starting to spread through them
“W-as that? Those monsters”
“Not even the teachers were a match for them”
“Instructor Newt is dead…”
“Are we all gonna die?”
The teachers tried to go around and calm the students down, but it was no use
“Instructor Joya What do you make of the current situation?” asked Elliot Nelson The old woman was the director of Nest, as well as a retired Player
“Scarlet eyes and black y Those are the traits of fiends,” Joya Vishuta answered
“As expected…” She squeezed her eyes shut She had hoped that her initial assumption was incorrect “Do you think we can stop them ourselves?”
“We can’t It’s not just one or two of them; there were more than twenty… It would be faster if we requested assistance’
“I already tried” Elliot bit down on her lip She looked at the scared students for a moment before she lowered her voice “Listen to ”
“What do youout terrorist attacks all over the world Help probably won’t come, but if it does, it’ll come later than usual”
“That’s ridiculous! The children here are the future of huuing with the director wouldn’t change anything
hard on the door It was protected by powerful ic, but it was only awith each other, one of the teachers spoke
“So that means we need to hold out until help arrives”
No one spoke Their eneiven up their humanity for power Moreover, these fiends were especially powerful and had viciously tore through Nest’s strong defenses
“I will go first” The director, Elliot, pulled out a clay since put her sword down, but she was still a 1st-generation Player who had fought alongside Specter “Even though I look like this, I killed quite a few fiend bastards back in my prime”
“I think you’ve told us that a hundred tiside the 5 Heroes? Yeah, right”
“Excuse ry
The teachers laughed weakly when they saw her ridiculous expression, which wasn’t quite suitable for the current situation
“Then, I will go with you”
“Me, too”
“I can’t let you have all the glory, Director”
Finding their confidence, the teachers supported her and rolled up their sleeves
They were adults before they were Players It was their duty to protect scared children
“Instructor Joya, stay here and take care of the injured children”
“Pardon? But if everyone’s going to fight, I can’t just…”
“M-ripped her sleeve When Joya saw her expression, she couldn't anything else Elliot gave a soft sht to our fullest if we don’t leave at least one adult behind to protect the children”
“Director…”
“Then, we shall move’
The director had a resolute expression on her face as she led the teachers forward, each one with a weapon in hand
The students silently bowed toward theht on cue, the auditoriuered in
The man at the lead scanned the auditoriuood to see you”
“I have nothing to say to a dirty fiend”
“Really? That’s too bad” He grinned
He was i his way
‘They’re all trash’
His name was lust, the Envy Squadron’s leader
students in the auditoriu sprouts that had yet to bloorinned, showing teeth
His subordinate stepped forward fro “Since this is a school, we should treat it like one Now, raise your hand if you want to die first”
The teachers grit their teeth as he radiated powerful dey If that was the power of the subordinate, just how strong was their leader?
Just as they were about to accept defeat, Elliot slaround with a loud sound “This old woh her body was old and frail, her heart was as passionate as a soldier’s “You piss your pants whenever the 5 Heroes are mentioned But I once hunted fiends with them”
“” lust’s eyebroitched The subject of the 5 Heroes was still a sore spot for fiends “Old woman You shouldn’t have said that if you wanted a peaceful death”
“I will not go down quietly I’ll play dirty and cave your skull in”
Elliot got into a fighting stance
‘This is it’
She knew very well that she wouldn’t last a second against the fiend
‘But time waits for no one’
She suddenly recalled the old days Those days alone were enough to set her heart ablaze Those were the glory days when she had gone around catching fiends while following behind the valorant 5 Heroes The e
“I ao! Elliot Nelsooooon!”
She dashed forward, and her clayh the air It was much faster than the fiends had expected, and their faces became filled with shock
h her memories had become hazy with time, her body still re as hard as she could Just once
“”
“”
She stopped
Everyone in the auditoriu”
The claymore had seemed like it was about to cut the fiends in half, but it fell weakly to the ground Elliot looked down at the dagger buried into her solar plexus
“You should just act your age”
ht red blood spilled out of her lips as she fell to the ground
Joya screamed and ran over as fast as she could to treat Elliot’s injuries The faces of the students and teachers darkened
‘Yeeesss, that’s it!’
That hopeless expression when the people of Earth were faced with soet the same thrill in Frontier
The fiends tre
They wanted to kill more, more,faces!
Just as they started to beco in the auditorium
“Who dared to touch my old friend?”
