Peace Hunter

In front of the academy lobby.

Feline continuously attacked me with her hand strikes. However, I managed to block them with my sword.

"I admit you're quite skilled for being able to withstand my continuous attacks, but are you going to hold out this long? Come on, try attacking me," Feline said, continuing to attack me.

I'd been trying to find an opening to attack her, but I couldn't find any. Moreover, I had to focus on defending against her incredibly fast attacks. Not only were they fast, but each blow carried immense power. I felt it as each blow struck my sword. If I hadn't enchanted my sword with magic, it would have shattered long ago while blocking her attacks.

Meanwhile, not far from my battle with Feline, Miss Karina was also battling Ariu. This time, they were exchanging long-range attacks. Miss Karina continued to attack Ariu with the wave sword technique of the San Fulgen family, while Ariu continued to throw iron arrows at her. However, the iron arrows Ariu threw looked different this time, as they were enveloped in flames.

Ariu not only used fire arrows, but also used his own flames to attack Miss Karina.

"How much longer are you going to burn this place down?" Miss Karina asked.

"At least until I can burn you to a crisp," Ariu said.

Ariu then took a deep breath, then held it for a long time. The bear form surrounding him began to open its mouth.

"I saw him do the same thing earlier, but I don't know what he's doing," thought Miss Karina, looking confused.

Meanwhile, I, who was fighting Feline, occasionally watched the battle between Miss Karina and Ariu. Then I saw Ariu holding his breath, while the bear form opened its mouth.

"That technique, don't tell me..." I thought.

Upon seeing this, I immediately shouted to Miss Karina.

"Miss Karina, don't let him use that attack. It's very dangerous!!" I shouted.

Miss Karina, hearing my scream, immediately rushed to attack Ariu with a long-range shockwave slash.

"I guess you know about that attack, huh? Did you feel it yourself? But whatever it is, seeing you distracted while fighting me really annoys me," said Feline.

~Cat Paw Shockwave Punch~

Feline immediately struck me with a powerful palm strike. But I quickly blocked the blow with my sword. However, the moment the blow connected with my sword, I was sent flying backward. Not only that, but I vomited quite a bit of blood from my mouth. My nose was also bleeding, even though I wasn't directly hit by the attack. I was thrown into the wall of the academy building and through it, into the academy building.

"Well, even though it was only for a short while, I had quite a bit of fun fighting you. Now it's time to finish the task of killing the target," said Feline, walking to the tree that was protecting Chloe.

Meanwhile, as the long-range shockwave slash was heading towards Ariu, Ariu suddenly let out a long breath. Then, the bear form that enveloped her seemed to be releasing something.

~Fire Magic : Bear's Great Fire Roar~

From the bear form's mouth, a powerful fire attack emerged, shooting straight ahead. The attack instantly destroyed the ranged attack Miss Karina had aimed at it. Then, the attack shot back at Miss Karina, destroying everything around her. The attack continued toward the academy's boundary wall, causing it to crumble as well.

"Oh my, he's overdoing it. Couldn't he have defeated the principal without using the ~Armadura Elemental Animal~ technique? Well, whatever, it looks like he's defeated the principal," said Feline, who was already near Chloe.

Then she prepared to kill her with her sharp claws. But...

~Freezing Air Slash~

I slashed at Feline with the San Lucia family technique. Feline realized this and quickly dodged my attack. Although she managed to dodge my attack, she didn't completely avoid it. Because there were chunks of ice stuck to his body, even though they weren't very thick.

"I can't believe you survived my attack earlier. And look at your condition now, you've even fully recovered. It seems you can use healing magic, huh?" Feline said, observing me, who had completely recovered from my previous injuries.

Then, Feline wrapped her body in fire magic, causing the ice chunks clinging to her body to instantly melt.

"This is the second time I've been hit by your attack. I was sure I'd completely avoided it. For an immature human, you're quite interesting. Should I start getting a little serious?" Feline asked.

-

Around the building where the academy's teachers, staff, and guests were staying, moments after Ariu used a powerful fire blast attack.

"Hmm, Ariu used that attack, huh? Well, it's understandable that he decided to use it, considering he's currently fighting the head of this academy," Fee said.

Near Fee, Mr. Alan and Miss Nora were seen lying on the ground, covered in blood. Meanwhile, from inside the building, many guests, staff, merchants, and students who had taken refuge there were shocked to see Mr. Alan and Miss Nora lying on the ground.

"T-this is impossible, right? Mr. ​Alan was defeated just like that,"

"Even Miss Nora too,"

"That Demi-Human woman is very dangerous. It looks like we have to flee before she attacks this place," said the people in the building area.

"If you want to run, please run. I'll deal with her to buy time," said Noa.

Noa immediately ran towards Fee. Meanwhile, Kotaro, Julie, Lillian, Lily, and Leandra, who saw Noa's actions, were shocked. It seemed they had all taken refuge in the building while the attack was underway.

"Hey, Demi-Human," said Noa as he ran towards Fee.

"An academy student?" asked Fee.

As he ran, Noa held his spear imbued with wind magic and threw it at Fee.

~Wind Ballista~

The wind spear shot towards Fee quickly. But Fee looked relaxed as she saw the spear coming towards her. She pointed two fingers of her right hand at the spear. Then, Fee fired a spell at Noa's spear. The spear instantly shattered after being hit by Fee's magic.

"What?!?!," said Noa, shocked.

Then Fee fired another spell at Noa. Noa was hit in the leg, leaving a hole in it. Noa immediately fell to the ground, clutching her injured leg. Fee then walked over to Noa.

"A weak person should think about running away when faced with a strong person. Why are you so reckless in fighting someone stronger than you?" asked Fee.

Noa didn't answer and continued holding her injured leg.

"Also, what can you do with just one spear? If you want to defeat your opponent, you have to use at least this many spears," said Fee.

Suddenly, five spears, made of the five basic elements, appeared above Fee's head. They were aimed at Noa, ready to strike. Meanwhile, the people in the lodging area, including Kotaro, Lillian, and the others, panicked. But they couldn't do anything to save Noa.

As Fee prepared to attack Noa, she suddenly fell silent. She remained silent for a long time.

"It looks like our time is up. The knights in this city are almost here to the academy."

"Then, it's time for us to leave. You're very lucky that I spared your life, little boy. Next time, be careful when you encounter an opponent stronger than you. Also, immediately take the man and woman lying there. They were only injured, ​I didn't kill them because my purpose here was only to retrieve our fallen men," Fee said.

Suddenly, a thick fog appeared around the area.

"Then, goodbye," Fee said.

Fee suddenly disappeared into the thick fog, along with the fallen Demi-Humans and humans who were part of the attacking group.
