[Quest: Monster Wave]
Defend against a total of 3 monster waves.
Reward: 6K Mana Points (x2)
=====
The quest had changed.
'It was originally a bandit suppression quest.'
A phenomenon that occurred because the event that was supposed to happen in the first semester was pushed back to the second.
'Judging from the reward level, the difficulty seems to be similar.'
Whatever comes out, Davian's plans remain unchanged.
Krrrraaah!
A rough roar of a monster was heard from afar.
Simultaneously.
All sorts of monsters began rushing out from beyond the western hill.
Roughly hundreds visible to the eye.
But not all of them have come out yet.
'Is that much the first wave?'
No matter how much Professor Mateo and Professor Wendy are there.
Even if there are 10 teaching assistants with the skills of Academy graduates.
The number of monsters is too great.
Moreover, Professor Wendy specializes in summoning magic.
Summoning magic is not very effective when various allies and enemies are mixed together.
"Everyone, into battle formation!"
Professor Mateo shouted, but.
The Academy freshmen had never learned a 188-person battle formation.
Elton Academy itself is a place that maximizes individual capabilities.
Bang! Kwaang!
Professor Mateo's fire elemental magic attack exploded.
Thwack!
Monsters with fast feet began to hit the flanks of the Academy formation first.
"Form parties! Form parties and respond!"
At Professor Mateo's cry, the students began to move erratically.
"Gray Bear Expedition."
At Davian's voice, his friends turned around.
"Let's go. We have to protect our friends from the front."
Nubes pulled out a large shield.
"Let's go!"
Swish.
Bonita roughly tied back her red hair and drew her sword.
"Of course, we should be at the front."
Latia, wearing all eight magic rings on both hands, stepped forward.
Bellum also drew his sword.
Luna also put on a healing magic amplification ring and stood close behind Davian.
Liber hastily began to unravel the item wrapped in cloth.
An item Davian told him to bring because it might be needed.
The cloth was completely unfurled.
A magic gun revealed its black, long barrel.
Liber joined the formation with a pouch full of iron balls around his waist.
"Let's go! Gray Bear Expedition!"
Davian Nauen was at the center.
Nubes Arbo and Bonita Portis at the very front.
Bellum Amandria supports them from right behind.
Latia Meridiem to Davian's left.
Liber Specula to his right.
Luna Pueri behind him.
The party of 7 pushed past the students and stepped to the front.
'Let's see.'
Bonita, who had darted out, simultaneously cut down two Owlbears that were twice her size.
A Lizardman, aiming for Bonita's flank and thrusting in a large spear, was.
Bang!
Hit by Nubes' body slam and sent flying far away.
Meanwhile, Bellum covered the gap on the right.
Bonita, having cut down another Troll, tilted her head.
"I feel a bit lighter today?"
She hadn't even donned Aura yet, but.
She cut through the thick skin of the Troll too easily.
The same with the Owlbear she first encountered.
Nubes, who had swung his large shield and sent the Goblins that arrived late flying in one hit, asked.
"Bonita, you too?"
Thwack.
Bellum, who had deeply stabbed an Owlbear's belly with his sword, pulled it out and rejoined the formation.
"You guys too?"
Swish.
Bonita cut down another Troll.
"My condition is strangely at its peak."
"Yeah."
"Me too."
In the meantime.
"Guys! To the right!"
Bonita, Nubes, and Bellum, who were in charge of close combat, quickly moved to the right.
Kwaaa kwa kwa kwa.
Latia's pillar of fire poured out into the space created by the close combat dealers moving away.
Latia's eyes widened slightly.
"Huh?"
Davian, who turned his head, asked playfully.
"What's wrong, Latia?"
"Huh? No, nothing."
Not nothing.
She must have been surprised by the pillar of fire that poured out stronger than she thought.
The movements of the three from the swordsmanship department as well.
'It's effective.'
The trait 'Leader's Dignity', which increases the combat power of party members by 20%, was working properly.
Bang!
Liber's gun barrel spewed fire.
The bullet neatly pierced the body of the Kobold, which was trying to rush past Latia's pillar of fire.
The Kobold fell forward with a thud, just as it was running.
"Everyone's so energetic today."
Latia, who was gathering the pillar of fire and preparing the next magic attack, asked.
"Davian, what are you doing?"
"I'm not feeling so good today. What are you going to do well, the monsters like that are this much?"
Latia stared at Davian and tilted her head.
"I've never seen you like this before?"
"I need to rest sometimes too. I told you I'm not feeling well."
Latia nodded her head.
"Okay. Then watch closely. My performance."
"To watch the performance of a magical genius girl right next to me. What an honor."
"What are you talking about."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sharp wind elemental magic was continuously shot out from Latia's hands.
Centered around the Gray Bear Expedition party.
Other Academy students who were caught in the chaotic battle also began to form parties one by one.
On one side, Professor Mateo and Professor Wendy's powerful attack magic alternated, and.
A dozen swordsmanship students and a few teaching assistants were guarding around them.
Davian watched his friends' performances for over 30 minutes.
Before long, the third wave began.
A greater number than ever before.
The overall grade of the monsters is also gradually increasing.
Actually.
He wasn't just resting.
He also confirmed the effects of the buff trait.
I saw my friends' performances well.
At the same time.
He was operating mana to prepare a large-scale area attack.
A large-scale earth elemental magic that takes a while to prepare.
Magic that Professor Mateo could not prepare because he was protecting the students in front of him.
It was magic that only Davian, surrounded by a strong party, could prepare.
"Are you done?"
Latia, who had read the flow of mana, asked.
"Did you know?"
"I couldn't help but know since you were emitting so much mana next to me."
That's because Latia is particularly sensitive to mana.
Not all wizards can feel this.
In fact, Liber and Luna, who were right next to him, had no idea what Davian was preparing.
"You said you weren't feeling well, but you prepared something amazing."
Drdddddd.
The ground began to shake as if there was an earthquake.
Cracks! Cracks!
The meadow full of green grass began to crack.
Of course, it's on the hill where the last monster wave is rushing in.
The startled monsters thrashed around, but.
Crack! Crrrrack!
The rate at which the ground was cracking was faster than that.
Also, the range is so wide that there is no place to avoid.
The vast meadow began to swallow the monsters.
After that, it didn't take long for the monster wave to be cleared out.
The monster wave, which had been cut off at the rear, was no longer a threat to the Academy students.
In particular, the Gray Bear Expedition actively roamed through the monster groups, gaining credit.
Since they penetrated so aggressively, the close combat dealers were injured.
But if they stepped back for a moment, Luna would neatly heal them.
Luna's healing magic also became much more powerful due to the buff.
Ting.

Reward: 6K Mana Points (x2)

"Wow, Bonita was really no joke today."
"You were great too, Bulky."
Bellum swung his arms around and asked.
"But why is my body so light today?"
The effect of the buff trait 'Leader's Dignity'.
"It's not just me, right? Everyone seems to be in good condition today."
"Did our skills improve a lot in the meantime?"
Latia rested her chin on her hand.
"No... It's strange today. I felt like my mana was much stronger. And I was good at using magic too."
Luna nodded her head.
"Me too! I don't know what it is today, but it was different."
While everyone was puzzled.
Only Davian nodded his head slowly with a satisfied face.
'You will feel it often in the future. This feeling.'
"Wow, it's so big."
"This is the gate to the capital."
"The capital is said to be surrounded by a tall wall."
"I thought the gate of our Academy, which I saw for the first time at the entrance ceremony, was the biggest in the world. Not at all?"
Kanzar City, the capital of the Arkansia Kingdom.
In terms of city size, it is five times the size of Elton City, where the Academy is located.
The entire vast city is surrounded by high walls.
There are huge gates in the four directions of east, west, south, and north.
While a teaching assistant was going through the entry procedures.
Professor Mateo said.
"From here, we will divide into two groups and move. Group 1 is the Department of Magic. Group 2 is the Department of Swordsmanship, the Department of Archery, and the Department of General Martial Arts. Group 1 will visit the Magic Tower with me, and Group 2 will visit the 4th Guard Barracks with Professor Wendy."
Davian raised his hand.
"Which group am I assigned to?"
A dual major in both Magic and Swordsmanship.
The only dual major in Elton Academy.
"Davian, which one do you want to visit first?"
I've been to the Magic Tower in the last round.
"I would like to visit the Guard Barracks."
"Then you go to Group 2."
"Thank you, Professor."
Latia turned her head.
"That's unexpected. I thought you would want to go to the Magic Tower too. Are you thinking of going into the prosecution?"
"I've been to the Magic Tower."
"Oh, really? Then whatever."
Luna raised her hand and shook it from side to side.
"Bye, Davian. See you at dinner."
"Huh? Luna? Are we invisible? I'm your roommate."
"Oh? Ah. Yeah. Bellum. Have a good trip too. See you at dinner. Nubes and Bonita too."
The entry procedure was over, and the guard who was guarding the gate signaled them to come in.
A large group of 220 people entered Kanzar City, the capital.
While the Department of Magic students headed to the Magic Tower.
Group 2, led by Professor Wendy, headed to the Royal Palace.
Bellum, who ran to the front, asked Professor Wendy.
"Professor. Are we going to go straight into the Royal Palace?"
"No. The 4th Guard is outside the Royal Palace."
"Ah... I see. That's a shame."
"Don't be too disappointed. You'll be able to enter the Royal Palace tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Bellum rushed back to the group.
"Guys! We can go into the Royal Palace tomorrow."
"What about today?"
"The 4th Guard is outside the Royal Palace?"
"Why is the Guard outside the Royal Palace? Isn't the Guard the army that protects the King?"
"I don't know either."
Bonita replied.
"There are five Guards in our kingdom. It's a tradition from the founding. But in fact, the 1st and 2nd Guards protect the Royal Palace. The rest maintain security, destroy dungeon cores, and suppress disobedient local noble forces."
"So the 1st and 2nd Guards are the real ones?"
"I can't say that the others are fake. But if you only look at the roles, it's true."
"Then what is the role of the 4th Guard that we're going to?"
"I heard that it's the Guard that participates in the most battles. Then maybe it's the role of keeping local noble forces in check?"
"There! It's the Guard!"
At Nubes's shout, everyone turned their heads.
A group of Guards wearing shining silver armor was passing through the middle of the wide capital city.
"Wow, cool."
A rhinoceros pattern is drawn in the middle of the armor.
"That rhinoceros pattern. It's the 3rd Guard."
"Ah. What is the role of the 3rd Guard?"
"Capital security and defense. And war support."
