Chapter 40 – The Perfect as Ever Maid (2/2)

“No, it wasn’t me.” Momm shook his head.

“Then who was it?”

“Lin Xiao, and his maid.”

“What?” Woos’ beard was blown upwards.

Momm’s answer surprised him.

“The story went like this…”

Momm did not take credit for it, nor did he exaggerate. He told the story to Woos in full detail. At the same time, he also told the story of the wonderful “Hero Saving the Beauty” described by Lin Xiao.

After listening, Woos was contemplating something.

“What’s wrong Woos, was there a problem?”

“No, no problem, your description was very reasonable. Lin Xiao’s story wasn’t strange either, it should be expected, but…” Woos stroked his beard. “But I want to know, before meeting Rosie, how did Lin Xiao and his maid break through the encirclement of the Jackalweres and then escape from the camp?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t ask and he didn’t tell me.”

“Oh.” Woos asked thoughtfully. “Don’t you find something strange?”

“What is it, if you have something, just say it! Don’t beat around the bush, I don’t understand!” Momm scratched his head and said with a sullen voice.

“Idiot! I mean their clothes.” Woos discontentedly chided.

“Clothes? What about the clothes?”

“Look closely. All the other students are covered in dirt, with their clothes torn and even injuries are common. Even Caesar’s arm had a large piece of flesh bitten off. Rosie was caught by the jackals…but, Lin Xiao and Elena, what about them?”

“Ah!?”

After listening to Woos, Momm finally realized the problem.

Lin Xiao and Elena were not injured, they didn’t even have a single scratch. What is even more strange was that neither their burqa nor the clothes they were wearing showed any signs of damage or tarnish. They looked no different from before the ambush, they didn’t look like someone who broke through an encirclement and escaped, but more like a tourist on an excursion to the forest.

With Lin Xiao’s strength as a third-level magician, he could never break through the encirclement of Jackalweres without any harm, let alone passing through a camp full of Jackalweres, not to mention that he still brought along a burdensome maid who couldn’t do anything!

Even if Momm was in his place, he couldn’t guarantee that he would be as elegant as Lin Xiao —— passing through a cluster of Jackalweres without a single scratch, as well as keeping the clothes spotless. How was that possible?

Could they be specters, ghosts, creatures that don’t exist, and the Jackalweres couldn’t see them, so they didn’t attack them?

Or has Lin Xiao’s strength gotten to the point where the Jackalweres couldn’t even approach him?

It’s impossible! Woos frowned, he couldn’t find an answer no matter how he thought about it.

In any case, the fact that the students were able to return safely was more important than anything else. As for his doubt, it could have just been that Lin Xiao and Elena were extremely lucky, and they didn’t encounter too many Jackalweres, so they were able to successfully escape the encirclement.

As for Rosie, the news that she was snatched by a Jackalwere has not spread. She was still a noble maiden, although she preserved her chastity, but the experience was still something unbearable, for the sake of preserving her reputation it was better to not spread the news. Therefore, although Lin Xiao saved her, but the students did not know and they thought that it was teacher Momm who saved Rosie.

This was the result that Lin Xiao wanted to see the most.

In the next two days, nothing new happened. The wounded ones recuperated, the ones lacking magic replenished magic, after the attack, both the teacher and the students needed a period of rest and replenishment.

However, the actual combat drill for hunting Jackalweres has not yet been completed, and there was good news and bad news——

After last night’s battle, the Jackalweres suffered disastrous casualties. Teacher Momm’s giant axe was like the Grimm Reaper’s scythe, who knows how many Jackalweres he cut down. It was not clear how many there were at night, but when daylight came, anyone who saw the mincemeat that scattered the floor and the mountain of corpses couldn’t help but retch and deeply feel the power of Momm’s great axe, and silently mourned for the pitiful Jackalweres for a few seconds…

After this battle, it was no longer possible for this group of Jackalweres to organize a large scale attack. This was the good news.

The bad news was that the leader of the Jackalweres is not dead.

The Jackalweres chose to withdraw into the depths of Black Lake Forest under the command of the leader to escape the pursuit of the hunting team.

Black Lake Forest was the Jackalweres home. If they decided to only hide and no fight, the students of Loran Academy would have no chance. Even if they grew four legs, they would not be able to catch them.

Disturb the enemy when they’re tired, retreat when they attack… Was this group of Jackalweres playing guerrilla warfare!?

And with this, the actual combat drill fell into an awkward dilemma.
