Chapter 245 - The field trip (2) (2/2)

”I'm going to take care of some problems, remain alert and be sure to run instead of fighting and for the 13th sake keep together”

”... Okay”

Looking at the hardened face that the student had Mars gave a calm smile and stomped his foot instantly burning a large magic formation in the grass below the students, then he took out a magic beast core from his backpack and put it on a designated spot

”A formation... What's it for?”

”Just a lucky charm... What's your name?”

”My name is Henrick”

Mars gave a nod as vermilion particles began appearing around him and gradually formed into a set of full vermilion armour before he gave Henrick a pat on the shoulder and spoke to the rest of the students

”Alright listen up, I'll go deal with something, until I return Henrick here is the leader so listen to what he says!”

Mars looked around and confirmed the student's expressions before he gave a nod, swung the broadsword over his shoulder and walked in the direction of the shout, after walking for a few seconds he broke into a light sprint and soon arrived where he had heard the shout and found a group of battle ready teachers. Mars looked at the teachers and saw their nervous expressions and quickly called out to them

”I take it no one here has any experience fighting in groups?... In that case I'll take the lead, just follow me and be sure to show them no mercy, they are bandits out for our students. Remember that!”

Mars looked around at each and every one of the teachers and confirmed their resolve before he gave a nod and cracked his neck, as he did horns grew out from his forehead which startled the teachers some, his eyes also turned from their original baby blue color to vermilion red like his armour just a shade darker before he gave a low growl as a bloodthirsty smile formed on his face

”... Don't mind me I am just a little excited”

Mars looked to the front and took a few steps forward, now standing at the front of the formation of less than 20 teachers. Soon 50 plus bandit like men appeared in front of them, they wore cruel expressions and laughed loudly as they talked about what they were going to do with the young students once they caught them, this made some of the teachers paled while others harden their resolve, soon a large man that seemed to be the leader of the group stepped out front and spoke

”Surrender and we might let you guys live”

Mars gave a smile and activated [Instant movement] as he swung his broadsword and sent out a sword light that flew with blinding speeds and decapitated the leader bandit and cut into the bandits around him that let out howls of pain and fear, it had simply been too fast for them to react and when they did Mars stood in front of the first bandit and swung down his broadsword cleaving the unfortunate bandit's body down the middle splitting it in half from one swing of his sword. Mars' style of sword fighting had changed over the period he had trained 78 now he had shifted from preferring a single edged one handed sword to preferring a broadsword like the one he was using

A howl was heard in the distance, it sounded like something a beast would make, certainly not something a person would make, this made the group of students a little nervous as they looked in the direction of the howl with slight fear but Henrick quickly spoke up

”Calm down, Mars will be back soon”

As he spoke the brushes in front of them shock slightly and a single drunk looking bandit stepped out and scratched his head before he looked over at the students and widened his eyes before he licked his dirty lips and drew out a sword before he began walking over

”Don't come any closer!”

Henrick called out to the bandit as a warning but the bandit ignored him as he kept walking with a creepy smile on his face as he imagined how he was going to carve up the first female student he caught

”Didn't you hear me, I said don't come any closer!”

Henrick kept calling out but to no avail and soon the bandit had entered 'its' range as the magic beast core lit up before it shattered and turned into dust as the energy from it was drained instantly, the energy or rather mana ran through the complex formation that had been burned into the ground with a special flame that left a burned substance that acted like a mana conductor, next the formation really came alive as it lit up with a red glow and a bunch of superheated air began forming above the students quietly like a viper waiting for its prey, then as the bandit crossed the five meter mark and the students were about to run the superheated air suddenly found a target, the bandit and was changed through the air and instantly flowed through the nose of the bandit and down the lungs of the bandit as it cooked his lungs instantly.

The only thing the students saw was that the bandit froze and fell face first smelling a little brunt
