Chapter 80 - 43
The Magic Train that took the academy students to the Alba Mountain Range to do the survival test was being surrounded by hundreds of monsters. What surrounded them were the green dragons and the sub-species of dragons, the wyverns.
"Look at that!! So many monsters are surrounding this Train! How\'s this!?" Rhea panicked while pointing at the monster outside the window. The other disciples were also noisy and screaming in fear. With such a large number of monsters the Magical Train wouldn\'t escape damage, the chances of them falling from the sky were very high.
"Don\'t worry, there are teachers in the front carriage. There\'s also King Leonida and King Raghnall. So it should be fine, maybe." Ziel has absolutely no interest in the hundreds of monsters outside.
"Maybe!? Does that mean we\'re going to fall from the sky!?" Rhea became even more panicked after hearing Ziel\'s words. She became completely different when she introduced herself to him earlier.
."It\'s also possible that this train was destroyed before it fell to the ground." Ziel just casually answered her screams.
"How is it? I just studied for 1 month at the academy." Rhea finally sat back in her chair and hugged her bag tightly.
"I hope everything will be fine." Ziel said nonchalantly.

The other class carriages had the same reaction. The students panicked after seeing many monsters coming towards them. But class S was an exception, the students in that class seemed more calm and organized. As expected of a class of gifted students.
"Freya, what should we do?" Princess Aishia asked Princess Freya who didn\'t seem to care about the situation outside.
"Hmm? Of course, we\'ll just have to wait for the teachers to solve it. Don\'t worry, we\'ll be fine. What\'s more, there is \'he\' in this Train." Princess Freya answered with a smile.
"He? Who do you mean?" Princess Reina who was listening to their conversation asked out of curiosity.
"Uh, of course, it\'s my father. Ahaha ..." Princess Freya just realized that she slipped and immediately looked for someone else to cover it up.
"I know that King Leonida is strong. But against that many monsters, especially those amid a horde of monsters. That\'s a real dragon isn\'t it?" Princess Rinne doubted what Princess Freya said.
"That\'s right Freya. Aren\'t you worried about Uncle Leonida?" Princess Aishia feels weird about Princess Freya\'s behavior earlier. She doesn\'t seem to care about her father\'s safety who fights with that many monsters.
"Ahaha...I\'m sure he\'ll be fine. So you don\'t have to worry about him. More importantly, we have to prepare for the worst." Princess Freya scratched her cheek embarrassed that she had mispronounced twice and tried to change the subject.
"You are right." The Princesses agreed with her words.
When the four Princesses had a quiet conversation. In the corner of the class S carriage, Princess Iris and Clara feel panic even though they don\'t show it on their faces.
"Iris, are we going to be okay?" Clara who was sitting next to Princess Iris was frightened. Princess Iris could feel that her body was shaking slightly.
"I\'m sure we\'ll be fine. The teachers and principal will solve it. Plus there\'s King Leonida and King Raghnall." Princess Iris held Clara\'s hand and tried to calm her down.
"Nn... I hope Ziel is okay too." Clara gave her a small nod. Princess Iris smiled at her because in such a state she was still thinking of her servant.

Inside the second carriage, The homeroom teachers of all classes and the principal looked at the horde of monsters flying towards them.
"Principal, what are we going to do? Are we all going out to fight those monsters?" Reid, the homeroom teacher of class E asked the principal. On his back, he already carried a greatsword.
"What Reid said is true, Principal. We must attack with full force. If we are half-hearted against it, then we don\'t know what kind of damage this train will suffer. Not to mention the many students on board." Flavio, the homeroom teacher of class S had the same thoughts as Reid.
"I know what you\'re thinking. What do you think Leo?" Merlick asked the opinion of King Leonida who had a gloomy face looking at the monster\'s horde.
"Hmm... Maybe we can kill all of them except for the middle one. It\'s a green dragon and it\'s quite large. I\'m afraid it\'s a superior-level magical beast or the equivalent of a demigod." King Leonida pointed at a large dragon amid the wyvern horde. He looked like the boss of the monster. King Leonida had a lot of fighting experience, so his instincts and words were unquestionable.
"What!? Then how do we deal with it?" Christof, the homeroom teacher for class F looks a bit worried about what king Leonida has said.
"Leo and I will attack it together, King Raghnall will stay in the Magical Train guarding the students. The teachers would fight the remaining wyverns. I beg of you to take care of the students, King Raghnall." Merlick began to plan and assign tasks to the people there.
"I see, I\'m not the fighter type either. I can keep an eye on the Magic Train here as well as the students." King Raghnall immediately agreed to Merlick\'s request.
"Alright, let\'s finish this and continue our journey. We mustn\'t make the students anxious." Merlick looked one by one at the teacher in front of him. All the teachers nodded simultaneously.
"Miss Kalya, please be careful. If anything happens, please inform me immediately." King Leonida smiles at Kalya before he leaves. On his waist hung a golden-colored sword that gave off an extraordinary aura. It was Claimh Solais\'s holy sword. One of the legendary King Rank Artifacts is owned by the Aurelia Kingdom.
Kalya just ignored him and walked out with the other teachers. King Leonida smiles bitterly and shakes his head.
When they got outside, they saw that the sky was covered by hundreds of monsters lined up in front of them. The green dragon in front of the monsters looks like their king.
"Ugh... If we get close, the pressure is intense. There\'s no doubt he\'s on par with a demigod." Ashley, the homeroom teacher of class A was sweating from her forehead seeing the green dragon form up close.
"You don\'t have to worry about that monster. We\'d better focus on the other monsters. The green dragon will be the business of the principal and King Leonida." Alvis reminded Ashley.
"I understood that without you even telling me." Ashley was displeased with his words.
"Haa...you can continue after the problem in front of us is over." Beatrix let out a heavy sigh at the sight of them who looked like they were about to argue.
"Let\'s start the attack." Merlick signaled to the teachers. But the monsters attacked them first. Hundreds of fireballs shot towards them.
[Ice Mirror]
Beatrix immediately created a mirror-like barrier made of ice in front of them. Some of the fireballs hitting the mirror surface are reflected to fireball behind it. Beatrix used their initial attack to block the next attack.
"Now!" With a sign from Merlick, the teachers started to move. Merlick and King Leonida ignored the wyverns and headed straight for the green dragon.
[Dual element swords]
[Ifrit]
[Fozen World]
Beatrix made the first attack. She instantly took out her proud ice and fire sword. The wyvern on her left was burnt to ashes while the one on her right froze. She immediately advanced towards the other wyverns holding two swords in her hands.
"I can\'t lose then." Flavio raised his hand. Dozens of large golden light swords formed in the sky and then rained down on the wyverns below. This is one of his favorite spells to fight a large number of enemies.
[Blade Shower]
Gruaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Dozens of wyverns screamed in pain, some of them died instantly and some were only injured.
"It\'s my turn!" Reid doesn\'t want to lose to Flavio. In his hand, he held a large red sword. He shot at high speed towards the wyvern horde. Then swing the sword horizontally.
[Vulcan Slash]
The wyvern that was in the path of his slash was burnt to ashes. The sword he used was a Legendary Rank artifact known as the fire god sword.
[Energy Bomb]
Suddenly a black ball the size of a head shot into the center of the wyvern horde and exploded.
Boooooooommmmmm
Alvis silently cast his magic as the teachers competed with each other. It was a spell of his creation. By compressing his mana until it is solid and throwing it at his enemy. He could blow it up whenever he wanted. The mana explosion engulfed the dozens of wyverns in the vicinity.
[Acid Rain]
Ashley created a large magic circle above the wyverns. From the magic circle, it rained, not water but acid. When the liquid fell and touched the wyvern\'s thick skin. Slowly his skin began to melt.
Gruaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
The cries of the wyverns in pain fell one after another from the sky.
[Water Jail]
Christof created dozens of large balls of water that imprisoned the wyverns until they suffocated and died.
[Tornado Blade]
The air around the wyvern starts to spin rapidly forming a Tornado that mixes with the blades of wind. The wyvern trapped inside turned into minced meat cut by the wind blades with incredible sharpness.
"They\'re all amazing." King Leonida nodded slightly seeing the teachers\' fight, especially Kalya.
"We shouldn\'t lose to them either." Merlick charged forward at the green dragon at full speed. King Leonida snuck in behind him holding Claimh Solais in his hands.
[Laser Kaleidoscope]
Merlick created hundreds of magic circles around the green dragon. And laser beams shot out from each magic circle.
[Brave Strike]
King Leonida unlocked his 8 crown patterned aura seals. He compressed his aura into Claimh Solais which made the light even brighter then slashed it towards the green dragon.
Boooooooommmmmm
Their combined attack heavily hit the green dragon. But when the smoke slowly dissipated and showed its figure, they were dumbfounded and could only smile bitterly. The green dragon wasn\'t even scratched.
Roooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr
The green dragon roared and flew towards them.
"Looks like this fight is going to be tough." King Leonida clicked his tongue and charged forward to face the green dragon with Merlick in tow.
Meanwhile, King Leonida and Merlick fought against the green dragon. Kalya and the other teachers were busy dealing with the wyverns.
"Somehow I feel like this wyvern seems endless." Flavio who was starting to run out of breath dodged the wyvern\'s attack.
"You\'re right, I thought they were only hundreds. But this feels like thousands." Reid agreed with what he said. On his current body were wounds from the wyvern\'s attack.
"Anyway, we have to buy time until the Principal and King Leonida defeat the monster." Beatrix also seemed overwhelmed by that many monsters. After all, the wyverns belonged to high-level magical beasts, and handling them would be difficult if they swarmed.
"Yes." They all returned to attack the wyverns. The monsters they had defeated up until now weren\'t even halfway through. Kalya who was currently battling dozens of wyverns was also in no different condition to the other teachers. She purposely didn\'t use Silphy until it was really dangerous.
"Silphy, how many wyverns are there?" Kalya was confused by the growing number of wyverns.
(I don\'t know for sure, maybe around a thousand)
"What!? Wasn\'t it only hundreds before? Where did those wyverns come from?" Kalya became even more confused after hearing what Silphy said. It made her lower her guard a bit and without him noticing the fireball attack from the front and the wyvern\'s claws from behind made it difficult to dodge.
(Be careful!)
Silphy\'s warning voice sounded in her mind.
[Wind Shield]
She immediately created a barrier to withstand both attacks. But because she split the barrier, the power is not very strong. One of her shields shattered and a wyvern fireball shot toward her.
"Miss Kalya!" Ashley who was close to her shouted which made King Leonida turn to her. He wanted to help her, but right now he was busy fighting the green dragon in front of him.
Boooooooommmmmm...
