101.

Whoosh-! Hissss-!

The aura flames burning on Leo’s arm extinguished and smoke rose up.

“Kirran.”

At Leo’s words, a small summoning circle opened and Kirran revealed himself.

[Ugh! What kind of barbaric thing is this!]

Kirran looked at Leo’s left arm with a disgusted expression, then cast healing magic.

A gentle silvery healing light treated Leo’s burned arm.

[Leo! Fairy magic healing isn’t omnipotent! It won’t work if your stamina reaches its limit!]

“I know.”

Leo, having recovered his arm, lightly rotated his wrist.

[By the way, is that thing a Gigantes? Ugh! It looks disgustingly ugly!]

Kirran stuck out his tongue with an openly disgusted expression.

For fairies, who were supreme magical beasts, Gigantes were literally like natural enemies.

The flames stuck in the Gigantes’ back went out.

Thud-!

The Gigantes raised its body.

Grrrrrr-!

A murderous gaze turned toward Leo.

The Gigantes opened its mouth wide.

Roooooooooooooar!

Purple light flickered.

Hissssssss-! Flash!

A breath shot out like a beam, scraping the ground as it flew at tremendous speed.

Leo threw his body without hesitation.

Whoosh-! The purple breath barely grazed past Leo.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

The place hit directly by the breath caused a chain of explosions.

Rummmmmble-!

The outer wall collapsed.

‘Even one graze would be the end.’

Despite the thrilling situation, Leo calmly raised his aura.

Leo shot out his aura thin like thread and hooked it to the surrounding buildings.

Then he applied force and stepped back.

Like an arrow on a bowstring, Leo stepped back as far as possible, and when the repulsive force reached its maximum, he released the strength in his legs.

Whoosh-!

Leo flew toward the Gigantes like an arrow.

Roooooar!

The Gigantes raised its clenched fist in anger.

Seeing this, Leo rotated his body.

It was Kail’s aura skill, Vortex.

Adding Jerdinger’s aura to it, a whirlwind of flames swirled.

Whoooosh!

Groooooooar!

Leo mercilessly severed the Gigantes’ right arm with slashes and flames, then flew toward the inner wall.

Crack-!

When he landed on the inner wall, his feet dug deep into it.

Leo stood up and spoke to Chloe, who was standing boldly facing the Gigantes.

“You’ve become quite impressive, Chloe.”

“What?”

“Your current appearance. You look like a hero.”

“…!”

At those words, Chloe became slightly flustered and her cheeks turned slightly red.

“I, I was just imitating someone.”

“I wonder who you were imitating?”

At Leo’s mischievous words, Chloe lightly hit Leo’s head with her staff.

“Hey! Where have you been all this time!”

“I had some personal business to take care of.”

Groooooooooar!

Just then, the Gigantes, having recovered the arm Leo had injured, let out a roar.

The students flinched, but Leo remained calm.

“Leave it. That monster isn’t stupid either. It knows that if it attacks recklessly now, it would be in danger too.”

“What?”

“It’s going to try to recover its stamina.”

“How is it going to recover its stamina?”

At Chloe’s question, Leo gestured with his chin.

Crunch!

Kiiiiiiiek!

Growl!

The Gigantes opened its mouth and began devouring the fleeing monsters indiscriminately.

The students made disgusted expressions at the sight.

“Leo oppa!”

“Leo!”

Class 5 students including Chelsea and Cal came running.

“Chloe! Leo! Here are mana potions.”

Cal urgently handed over mana potions, which Leo and Chloe drank.

“What’s the situation?”

When Leo asked, Cal spoke with a hardened expression.

“Since entering the inner castle, no one has been seriously injured. It’s just….”

Cal looked at the Gigantes with a terror-stricken face.

“Everyone is terrified because of that monster.”

“Then the solution is simple. We defeat that thing.”

“What?”

Everyone looked surprised at Leo’s nonchalant words.

Seeing this, Leo tilted his head.

“Why are you all surprised? It’s obvious.”

“I, I know! I know that, but…!”

Selia answered while gritting her teeth.

Selia’s hands, usually confident, were trembling.

Not just Selia.

Most of the students’ faces were filled with fear.

‘It can’t be helped. No matter how much they’re called hero candidates, they’re all just teenagers in the end.’

Unpolished gems.

Nevertheless, they sparkled.

“There is another option.”

Everyone focused on Leo’s words.

“Running away. No matter how powerful that monster is, if a hundred or so people run away at once, it can’t catch them all.”

“Th, that’s right!”

“Fighting it head-on is logically speaking….”

“Of course, most of the people here would die.”

The students gasped at Leo’s words.

“The moment you scatter, you’ll be slaughtered one-sidedly. Anyone who wants that can go ahead. I won’t stop you.”

Not a single person left their position.

As the atmosphere grew heavy and oppressive, Leo spoke.

“So here’s what I’m saying.”

Leo crossed his arms.

“How about you let me take command?”

“What?”

“I’m going to take it down. That monster.”

Everyone stared at Leo in stunned disbelief.

Watching Leo, Chen Xia spoke up.

“I’d like to hear what Young Master Leo has to say.”

“M-me too!”

Chelsea also came to Leo’s side.

Chloe went without saying.

“Hmph! Acting all high and mighty again, Leo Flobe.”

Eliza snorted derisively.

“Well, running away doesn’t suit my temperament anyway. But! After you, I should have command authority…!”

“Enough talk and join us, Eliza Herginn.”

“W-wait! Woreden! What are you doing so rudely!”

Woreden pushed Eliza toward Leo with an expressionless face.

Everyone looked at Woreden with surprised eyes.

It was certainly surprising that Woreden, famous for his solo play style, would stake his life on Leo’s words without hesitation.

As their classmates looked on in surprise, Eliza curled up the corner of her mouth.

“What’s gotten into your arrogant self to follow someone else’s words?”

“Everyone knows we need to defeat that monster. But everyone’s keeping quiet because they don’t have confidence they can defeat it. I’m the same.”

Woreden looked at Leo.

“Then it’s right to follow the command of someone who has confidence they can defeat it. You’re here betting your life on this guy for the same reason, aren’t you?”

“Hmph. As a member of the Herginn Family, running away from that detestable beast makes no sense.”

Eliza glared at the Gigantes with venomous eyes.

Duran also approached Leo and said.

“I’ll look forward to your command skills, Leo Flobe.”

“You won’t be disappointed.”

Leo finally looked at Selia and Avad.

“It’s just like during the entrance exam.”

Avad smiled bitterly.

“Back then too, you threw yourself into an impossible fight without hesitation.”

Although Selia and Avad were the ones who defeated Tallatonia, it was Leo who led that fight to victory.

“I thought I’d caught up a little.”

Avad muttered while clenching and unclenching his fists.

“Still. Far from it. Selia. You’re the same as back then anyway, right?”

“Shut up, Butter.”

Selia swept back her hair.

“If Leo wants to do it, there’s no way I’d refuse.”

All the core members of the first years had joined forces.

Seeing this, Cal let out a hollow laugh.

“With that group, it really seems like they might be able to defeat it.”

With the strongest first years who had been growling at each other like enemies now joining forces, it felt like an invisible path was becoming visible.

“Wh-what about us?”

When one student asked cautiously, Selia swept back her hair and said.

“Only we nine students can deal effective damage to that monster. Prepare for any contingencies.”

At those words, the students gulped nervously.

“What formation are you thinking of?”

At Avad’s question, Leo arranged the formation and explained the strategy.

After the strategy meeting ended, nine students who had each checked their equipment stood atop the city wall.

Leo placed his foot on the wall’s railing.

Step-

“Well then.”

The personnel who would stop the Gigantes from the front were Leo, Duran, and Woreden.

The central position role of dealing continuous damage went to Selia and Avad, who had fast attack speed and powerful destructive force.

Chelsea and Eliza took on the supporter roles, enabling the front and center to work closely together.

And finally, Chloe took the position of main dealer in the rear.

Leo looked at the Gigantes still ravaging the monsters and shouted.

“Let’s go!”

At those words, the four people in front all rushed out at once.

Grwoar?

The red eyes of the Gigantes, which had been devouring monsters, turned toward the four people.

“Chelsea Rwallin. Launch me as high as possible.”

“What?”

Chelsea was flustered by Woreden’s sudden words, but quickly used magic to lift Woreden high into the air.

Powerful spiritual energy burst forth from Woreden’s body floating high in the air.

Rumble-!

Rising rocks wrapped around Woreden’s body like armor.

Whoosh-!

As if he had become a meteor, Woreden’s body plummeted toward the Gigantes at tremendous speed due to gravity.

Crash!

Grwoaaaaar!

As Woreden’s body struck the Gigantes’ head, the Gigantes let out a roar and staggered.

“How can someone who’s a Spirit Mage be so reckless?! No! Before that, how did he even do that?!”

Eliza was shocked.

‘Spirit Armored?’

Leo looked at Woreden with admiration.

Spirit Armored.

It was literally an advanced spirit technique that allowed one to possess a spirit in their body and contain the spirit’s power in their flesh.

Seeing this, Leo also raised his spiritual energy.

‘Kirran.’

[Yes.]

‘Please grant protection to the four people in front.’

[Got it.]

Kirran closed his eyes and spread both arms.

Along with this, fairy protection was bestowed upon Leo, Duran, and Woreden.

Fairies are divine beasts with the power of life.

And fairy protection grants the target inexhaustible stamina.

As the fairy protection settled, the three people flinched and then looked at Leo.

They all felt their bodies become lighter.

[Haha! How’s that! You youngsters! Consider it an honor to receive the Fairy Prince’s protection and deal with that disgusting lump…]

Leo grabbed Kirran, who was shouting triumphantly from his shoulder.

[Why?]

“You’re being noisy, so stay back for a moment.”

Leo, having removed Kirran, looked at the Gigantes rising again and raised his magical power.

Kwaaak-!

Leo, who had kicked off the ground, flew toward the Gigantes.

Seeing this, the Gigantes raised its hand.

Grwoooooooo!

The veins on its massive forearm bulged out.

The Gigantes swung its arm with ferocious strength.

Whoong-!

A brutal palm sliced through the air and struck down at Leo.

Just before the Gigantes’ attack reached Leo.

Woong-!

Leo’s body split into dozens of copies.

Mirage.

The Gigantes flinched at Leo’s illusions created by Star Magic.

As Leo raised his sword, dozens of aura flames immediately appeared.

Seeing the dozens of aura flames, the Gigantes wildly swung its arms at Leo’s illusions.

“Where are you looking, you lump.”

Duran’s sword, wrapped in golden lightning aura, slashed across the distracted Gigantes’ left knee.

Thud-!

The Gigantes fell to its knees.

As the massive frame collapsed, its face drew closer to the ground.

At that moment.

Selia, who had been standing on the building rooftop, locked eyes with the Gigantes.

Whoooosh!

Crimson flames appeared at the tip of Selia’s sword.

As Selia pushed Jerdinger’s flames to their limit, wing-shaped flames formed on her back.

Swish-!

As Selia took a thrusting stance, the flames were drawn into her sword tip.

‘Prominence!’

Flash-! Crack-!

The crimson flames pierced through the Gigantes’ head.

The Gigantes’ body, with half its head blown away, trembled and twitched.

Selia snorted and swept back her hair.

Crack! Crackle!

However, she frowned as she watched the head begin to regenerate.

The Gigantes’ terrifying vitality remained intact even with half its head blown away.

Selia quickly used aura step to escape from the Gigantes’ attack range.

Kwagagagak-!

As the Gigantes roughly swung its arm, the spot where Selia had been standing was devastated.

Seeing this, the first-year students thought.

‘We can take it down!’
