As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Not all teachers take teaching and educating as their responsibility.

Most of the extraordinary people who are not of noble birth and do not want to become adventurers or magicians choose to spend their days in the academy.

They have no goals and no ideals. They claim to enjoy the ordinary daily life, but they are unwilling to accept the ordinary. They covet wine, meat, sensual pleasures, and indulge in a life of luxury, indulging in it and wasting their time.

Going to the [Ice Rose] is also Enwei's subconscious mind, looking down on ordinary women, and wanting to conquer the cold and arrogant beauty to prove his superiority.

When such people see those young boys and girls who are full of vigor and youth, it is like looking in the mirror and realizing their own shortcomings.

The cold wind blew by, and Enwei's face twisted as he recalled the master and servant.

"Damn kid, all he does is date instead of work!"

"Dissolute! Terrible! No manners, no respect for teachers!"

"Better not let me get the chance..."

The thought that the boy and girl might be hugging each other tightly by the campfire, or spending a long night together in the tent, made Enwei jealous and irritable.

No matter how much he scolded them, he was only a teacher for this special training session, not the class teacher of those two people, so he had no chance to make things difficult for them.

But at this moment, an owl descended from the sky and delivered a letter.

"A letter from the Magicians' Society?"

"The intelligence is incorrect. A Sequence 6 monster is suspected to have escaped with the Black Demon Bird. Please terminate the combat training..."

Enwei was about to curse, but then he thought, isn't this an opportunity?

According to the rules, in the event of an accident, teachers of practical training need to send their familiars to notify students in a timely manner.

However, facing a powerful Sequence 6 monster, even if the familiar dies and the notification is not timely, it won’t be a problem, right?

Of course, students bring their own distress flares, so it won’t be too late to help when the time comes.

Enwei couldn't help but let out a sinister smile: "Roy Ironblad, it's time for you to learn how to respect your teachers."

----------

The next morning, not long after setting off, Alice found the trace of the black bird.

But the bad news is that the pitch-black feathers and large amounts of blood are enough to prove that the Black Demon Bird is being hunted by something.

"Master, this is..."

"It should be a monster from the forest. It can chase and fight the Black Demon Bird. I'm afraid it's Sequence 6."

Looking at the blood-stained and messy grass, Roy's expression became serious.

The Black Demon Bird was a very intelligent beast, knowing not to provoke powerful creatures. Even if it encountered a Sequence 6, it should be able to escape in time.

Judging from the scene, it looked more like a collision with a mad monster.

But that's not quite right.

There are many ferocious demonic beasts in the swamp, but they usually only appear in deep areas. Moreover, the intelligence shows that there are no Sequence 6 demonic beasts nearby recently.

But no matter what, we need to be careful next time.

"Let me clear the way. If the Black Demon Bird is dead, once we confirm the body, we can retreat without having to engage with other enemies."

"Ah."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Alice nodded obediently and followed him.

Roy followed the blood trail forward for a while and finally heard a shrill roar.

He and Alice hid behind a twisted giant tree for a moment, and looked out from afar. They saw flashes of lightning and thunder. A huge monster with sharp hair all over its body was constantly pecking at a dark creature like an ostrich.

Well, the Black Bird that I learned is dead.

The Sequence 6 Thunderbird is one of the most dangerous monsters in the Swamp Forest, and one of the targets of vigilance mentioned in the training intelligence. This monster is extremely fast, and lower-sequence creatures targeted by it are basically unable to escape.

The strange thing is that this thing is not actually warlike and should only live deep in the swamp.

But now, it was like it had met its mortal enemy, and it kept whipping the black bird instead of hunting it.

"Master, what should we do now?"

"What to do... just retreat."

The black bird was almost pecked into a pulp and looked dead no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, the crazy Thunderbird always gave Roy a bad feeling.

However, just as Roy was about to stand up, he felt a rustling noise behind him, as if someone was pulling at his clothes.

"Alice, don't touch me."

"Hey? Master, what are you talking about?"

Roy slowly turned around and saw a sticky object covered with suction cups, which looked like an octopus tentacle, trying to drill into his clothes.

And after that, densely packed, countless identical tentacles were slowly spreading towards the master and servant.

"I'm super!"

What the hell?!

Seeing the tentacles standing up as if they had sensed something, Roy felt his scalp tingling. He grabbed the blonde girl and rushed out of the bushes.

At the critical moment, he avoided those weird and frightening objects.

But in this way, they were completely exposed to the sight of the Thunder Bird.

The big yellow bird with its hair standing up and wrapped in lightning screamed and rushed forward in anger, like an arrow shot from a bow!

It's just too fast.

Roy only had time to push the boy next to him away, but with a series of loud crackling sounds, he was caught in the air by the Thunderbird.

"Leave me alone! Be careful...!"

Watching the young man disappear above her head with lightning, Alice was stunned at first, but quickly pressed her chest and forced herself to calm down.

With the master's strength, Sequence 6 monsters are no problem, there is nothing to worry about.

Alice casually fired a red flare. According to the rules, the teacher in charge of the training would come to the rescue soon.

But Alice never counted on that unreliable guy.

The countless tentacles clustered around it resembled a strange, enchanting flower. From the forest, a tall, ugly figure emerged.

The monster looked human-like, but it was staring at an octopus head with tentacles hanging from it. Behind it were trailing one wet and sticky tentacles with strange patterns. There was a cloudy light in its eyes, which was chilling.

What's even more terrifying is that the pressure it releases is also Sequence 6, just like the Thunderbird.

The Mind Eater, a magical beast. It possessed the ability to condense illusions and was extremely rare. It wasn't a beast found in the swamp forest. Even the Magic Academy had limited knowledge of it. In terms of danger, this unknown beast was far more than a match for the Thunderbird.

In fact, Alice suspected that the Thunderbird had fallen into the illusion of the Mind Eater and was being manipulated by it.

However, facing the powerful monster that made people physically uncomfortable and instinctively fearful, a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the blonde girl.

A more dangerous opponent than the ordinary Sequence 6.

This is the prey she wants.

If I kill this guy, my master will definitely praise me, right?

Chapter 11: Wanting to be watched more

Sharp screams echoed through the clouds, and sparks of lightning streaked across the sky.

I saw a ball of electricity falling rapidly like a kite with a broken string.

The Thunderbird, its belly ripped open, crashed into a protruding tree branch, was pierced with holes, and fell into the mud.

It roared and was about to burst out with lightning again, but the black-haired boy took a step ahead and threw out the spear, which completely pierced its head.

The overlord of the swamp was like a dead fish. After struggling a few times, it fell into the mud and remained motionless.

Roy wiped the sweat off his face and rubbed his arm which was numb from the electric shock. Although it was not effortless, it seemed to leave a lingering effect.

Now, with the blessing of the [Evil Dragon Blood Armor], he can raise his bloodline ability to a level close to that of a Sequence 6. Even if he goes head-to-head with a Sequence 6, he can still hold his own.

It can even defeat an opponent like the Thunder Hunter Bird that is not good at close combat.

Of course, the lightning attacks that Dragon Scale and [Iron Bones] couldn't defend against caused quite a bit of trouble. If it were an ordinary Sequence 7 or even a Sequence 6 [Iron Blood], they would probably be in big trouble.

But with [Blood Healing], Roy can definitely withstand it.

However, he was never worried about the Thunderbird.

The monster that drives Thunderbird crazy is the real trouble.

Roy doesn't think it's reliable to bring a drunk teacher to work.

Fortunately, with Alice's strength, even if she couldn't defeat a Sequence 6 monster, she would still be able to protect herself and even escape. Furthermore, this time, Alice was wearing the [Glorious Brooch], which could withstand the full force of a Sequence 7 monster.

As long as she doesn't do anything stupid, there should be nothing to worry about.

This is the truth, but Roy couldn't calm down when he thought that Alice was not by his side.

After killing the Thunderbird, the boy immediately rushed in the direction of the other party.

On the outskirts of the swamp, Enwei only sent out his familiar to inform the students to end their training and head deeper into the swamp after seeing the signal flare for help.

----------

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Tentacles came rushing over one after another, like a centipede soaring into the air.

The blonde girl flipped the sword in her hand and cut off the invading tentacles with an extremely sharp sword light. Her feet swept like the wind, avoiding the enemy's attacks while gradually approaching the monster.

The mithril sword was much sharper than the previous fine steel sword, which made Alice very satisfied.

Seeing that the single tentacle attack was useless, the Mind Eater let out a strange cry, and dense tentacles fell from the sky like a big net, trapping the girl in it.

However, in an instant, the silver light ignited and turned into blazing white.

A spinning slash like a full moon erupted.

As the sharp sword rang, dirty blood fell from the air.

With just one strike, the giant web of the mind-eater was torn apart.

A human-like look of fear appeared on the mind-eating demon's octopus head, but the blonde girl remained expressionless. She was filled with murderous intent and, like a bloodthirsty hound, she turned from defense to offense and attacked the enemy.

can win.

This guy's strength, speed, and even defense are not strong, and are at the lowest end among Sequence 6.

However, his own [Seraphim] can raise all aspects of his abilities to the top of Sequence 7.

Even if he couldn't cross the low- to mid-level chasms, as long as he could hit the vital point with the mithril sword given by the master, he might be able to kill this guy.

Alice made up her mind, raised her sword high, and swung it towards the overwhelming tentacles in one breath, turning into a stream of light.

The blazing white sword shadow turned into a storm, cutting down all the tentacles blocking the way with a devastating force.

Before the tentacles flying in the sky could even land on the ground, the blonde girl had already arrived in front of the mind-eater.

Succeeded——?!

Just as she was about to swing the sword, Alice felt something sticky under her feet, and her posture became chaotic.

The ground beneath my feet was originally flat, but it had turned into a quagmire without me noticing when.

Magic? It can create a swamp?!

The octopus head finally showed a strange smile as if its evil plan had succeeded.

In an instant, the situation of the battle was reversed.

The tentacles attacked one after another, tightly binding the girl's slender limbs like iron chains.

Then, the strange gaze with a yellow halo shrank sharply towards the girl's eyes.

A chaotic and extraordinary wave hit Alice, and her eyes lost focus instantly. She stopped struggling weakly, and the mithril sword in her hand fell to the ground.

Looking at the endless darkness in front of her, the girl couldn't help but regret her carelessness just now.

Lack of strength and speed meant her opponent's true strengths lay elsewhere. This was the most basic principle of combat for transcendents, yet she had been careless for a moment and fallen into a trap.

And now, I'm caught in an illusion...
