Stray

Elmer’s body stiffened instantly. He looked in disbelief in the direction of Oliver’s escape, and then moved his gaze to Nemo. The latter’s expression was tight, his gaze was glued to the snake-maned lion, and he couldn’t catch any exposed emotions at all.

A logistics running away wouldn’t affect the situation of the battle. The commander’s face became ugly, but he didn’t say a word.

All the combat units of this team had some skills. They avoided the maned snakes that ejected from time to time between the mane of the snake-maned lion, and unfortunately a few of them suffered a few scratches from its claws. Nemo moved in accordance with the calculated steps, staring closely at the wounds, and at the same time quickly calculated the blind spots of the monitoring crystal ball.

All current matters were in his expectation. Only Hayden’s reaction surprised him.

The little man who found out that he was holding the maned snake and was about to scream and run away, was now terribly calm. Hayden didn’t boast. He was really suitable for this kind of profession— In intermittence when someone got injured, the healer student almost panicked, but Hayden Wilhelm seemed to be a different person.

Thanks to his own strength, Nemo could see the injuries of the others at a glance, but Hayden was just an ordinary human with low magic powers, but his reaction wasn’t much slower than Nemo’s. He treated the soldiers skillfully, and even had time to soothe the healer’s emotions in the midst of chaos.

Nemo assisted calmly, neither too much nor too little, and now he was more like Hayden’s shadow. From time to time, he glanced at the huge snaked-maned lion from the corner of his eyes. The professor or school staff didn’t appear, so it was to say that this snake-maned lion was probably arranged by the college in advance.

But the front line of the group had already shown signs of collapse.

Truthfully, Nemo knew this situation well. He and Oliver had also walked on the path paved with real swords and guns, so he was extremely keen on the possible problems of newcomers on the battlefield. Actual combat was different from training, and the students here weren’t stupid enough to be blindly confident. They just went to the other extreme— They didn’t know how to allocate their energy and strength. As soon as they fought, they went all out, and didn’t consider the length of the battle at all. At present, various combat units were beginning to experience subsequent fatigue and the mana of the healer was closed to being exhausted.
