Even ast rey fur coat, their 140corillas Their faces, though, were aears With their thick and powerful protruding jaw, you wouldn't think they were only E stage lance
"GRRRRRRRR"
"SSNNNNRRRKKK"
"GRAAHHK! GRAAHHK!"
As dozens and dozens revealed the their jahile letting out lols
"P-Professor… are there supposed to be this many s-s-s-snarlers?" one of upperclassroup stammered out
"This is so odd Even in the lower floors, there are never this ether" Professor Glory braced herself and stayed firm Because of the low morale in our class, if even our professor took a step back in hesitation, everyone would panic
"There are a lot of them but they aren't impossible to handle However, since this is just a class excursion, I think it's best to go back up, just in case Safety is priority right now" Just as Professor Glory started slowly ushering everyone back towards the stairs, a fireball flew past her and exploded in a crowd of snarlers
As the fireball exploded, six snarlers all shot out in different directions and lay motionless
"See? These nasty little beasts are weak Professor, don't tell o back? Even a sh to kill six of them," Lucas scoffed as he lowered his staff
I could tell Professor Glory was still hesitant because of the unusual a on the first floor
"I-I think we should try and train here, Professor" Curtis had a determined look on his face as several other students, because of Lucas' display, gained confidence as well
The snarlers that have all cohtened now, as they warily keep their distance, studying us with their unintelligent eyes
"Okay, but if I feel that soht, we're immediately out of here, understood?" With a stern voice, she waited for the class to agree to her condition
When she received a round of nods, she said, "Good Split into your teams and take different parts of the floor We don't want any friendly fire happening in here And Lucas, if you do soain, there will be consequences" Professor Glory shot ahim reluctantly comply
"Prince Curtis, take your team and make your way towards the left side of the cave Princess Tessia, take your tearound The last teauys at all tiilant and don't underestimate the snarlers, especially in these numbers" With that, Professor Glory motioned for the two teams to rush forward
"Arthur, I want you to be the vanguard since you're the best at close range Clive and Roland, you guys take positions to his left and right behind him and make sure he's covered Lucas, stay in the center between Arthur, Clive and Roland; I'll cover your back We're going in the diamond position we learned in class!" As soon as we headed towards the miniature army of snarlers, Tess' shy self all but disappeared as her student president side took over
"GRRRAHHKK!!"
"KHHRRAAA! KRRAAH!"
"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck" Roland, obviously inti their jaws at us, took out his weapon, which just looked like a handle of a sword
Clive also took out hisand drew it back Where the arrow should have been was a long usts of wind
I take out Dawn's Ballad as well, which was still wrapped in white cloth I left it sheathed and loweredready for a quick draw in case any of them suddenly jumped
"Spread and destroy! Ember wisp!" As we approached the horde of snarlers, Lucas released one of his favorite spells that soon started floating around us
"CRRAAHK!!" Reaching just 5 htly to my waist and prepared to draw aseven faster, I leaned forward even lower and aug a wind to accuth to keepout of its sheath until the last , I waited until I was just in front of the airborne snarlers before I released the pressurized blade
As the speed of my blade broke the sound barrier with a loud boo That skill worked a lot better than I thought it would…I really shouldn't experiment with skills in actual battles
The front line of the snarlers both in the air and on the ground was either knocked back or cut in half but I couldn't folloith anything asmy sword
"GRHHAAK!" Several alloped towardsall four limbs now
Several arrohizzed by me and promptly impaled some of the snarlers that alave Clive a nod before picking up my sitha whip ht out in the beginning The water hirled erratically as sohis falowed in red and blue as different fire spells went off from both our side and the other teaan spreading out and keeping their distance The e off s crafty, throwing chunks of ice fro theht off two snarlers "Arthur, are you okay?"
