Chapter 99
The hairy professor, Gomon, had heard countless stories about Hersel. Hersel was a topic of conversation even among the professors. Not only had he subdued a couple who had infiltrated the Forbidden Library, but he had also blocked an attack with his bare body—an attack that even Professor Rockefeller found difficult to handle.
‘He could probably take down Berme with ease. Rockefeller, who was once known as the ‘Twilight Wizard’ on the battlefield, acknowledged him. If Rockefeller admits it, then it’s more than possible. He must have confidence; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to hunt them down.’
Gomon liked Hersel. He took his eyes off him and looked at the assembled units.
‘The ratio of the knights’ division to the magic division is well balanced. Considering each individual’s abilities and personality, it’s an efficient setup. The top priority seems to be the mage’s head. The unit with Limberton, who has excellent vision, must be the one chasing the mage. And the barbarian Aslay, with his exceptional mobility in the forest, makes this a solid plan.’
Gomon, as a professor, knew all the characteristics of his outstanding students. Their talents matched well with the enemies they would face.
“Alright then, Hersel Ben Tenest. I’ll leave Berme to you. Let’s go and chase down the other two.”
Gomon waved his staff. Blue footprints began to appear in three directions along the forest path. This was a tracking spell that combined Earth Elemental Magic and Shaping Magic.
Ricks’ eyes lit up.
“Professor, you’re incredible! When can I learn that magic?”
