151 – The chase and the chase
“Howa wat-? When did we find such a wide open space here?!”
“What is this? It’s like…… ?”
Inside the bush that Derke found, there was a wide open area.
However, it was far from an ordinary empty lot.
There was a strong artificial and empty feeling somewhere.
Feeling as if someone deliberately wiped out the surrounding area.
“Senior? These are the signs of battle for sure! It looks like we fought fiercely until just now!”
“Can I? B, where is Mr. Breeder…… ?!”
A sight that does not match the background of dense trees and grass. As Raylin said, this was a sign of battle no matter who saw it.
Trees strewn in a mess in the middle.
Ground and rocks scratched by something sharp.
A huge rock with many cracks.
Moreover, even the ice fields don’t match the spring weather at all.
All of this tells us that there was a fierce battle.
“Ho, maybe it’s not the traces of the seniors’ training, yap… ?!”
Derke raises another possibility as if denying the reality.
Everyone’s faces darken at the thought that the breeder might be caught in a dangerous situation.
“Ha, it’s a pity, but it doesn’t seem like that.”
“Whoa? That, like that…… !”
Sophia calmly answers Derke’s hypothesis.
“Is Laylin the only person who can come to such an obscure place for training on the weekend? And earlier, Derke, didn’t you say you smelled of Mr. Breeder around here?”
“Hey, that’s true, but…… !”
“How-wa-? Well, then where the hell is the albino…… ?”
Everyone worried about the breeder and looked around urgently. In anticipation that I might be able to find traces of the breeder.
“… ….”
Sophia silently bowed her back.
To inspect the pitch-black soil carefully.
The dirt floor was stained black as if it had been polluted.
ㅡSuddenly… !
Sophia scooped up a handful of this and scattered it in the air.
“This is clearly demonic energy… ….”
“Seo, senior?”
“Looking at the traces, it hasn’t been that long. Besides, like Derke said, I can feel Breeder’s presence slightly now.”
Sophia muttered while looking at the rotten and polluted soil. And then, as if he had made up his mind to do something, his golden eyes flashed.
“… I can’t either. Raylin?!”
“Yes, did you call?”
“Maybe not all of them have gone far. And from here on out, I’ll lead the way, so take Derke and follow me.”
“Yes? Now that word…… ?”
“Yes, Raylin.”
ㅡChohak… ! Flutter!
As soon as Laylin finished speaking, golden wings stretched out from Sophia’s back.
A huge film covered with golden scales spreads wide. Golden wings that are grander and bigger than Raylin’s.
“Time is urgent, so please follow me! I will protect my man with my own hands…… !”

ㅡ Flutter! Flutter!
The pink film moves quickly.
Urgent flapping of wings as if being chased by something.
I was on the updraft enough,
Sonya continued to push the air as hard as she could.
It was continuing its desperate flight as if it could not slow down even a little.
“Teacher? Are you okay… ?!”
Nevertheless, Sonya continued to check the safety of the breather hanging from her right arm.
“I’m fine! So don’t mind my lady and focus on flying!”
“Right, Sonya! I’ll catch up with you! I can’t fly any sooner…… ?!”
Eros reacted to the breeder’s answer.
Both of them are holding Sonya’s hand.
They all urged them to run.
Because everyone’s lives depended on Sonya.
Breeder and Eros clasped Sonya’s hands as if they were holding onto her rope.
Even if you can’t help it, you’re a human breeder,
Eros also relied on Sonya.
Even though he himself had wings.
Eros’ flight ability and wings were insignificant. With small, dainty wings resembling those of a goblin, it was too much to lift her body alone.
To put it simply, the body was not optimized for flight. Like this, no matter how many dragons they were, not everyone could fly in the sky.
ㅡJonggeuk! Snap!
The wings of Eros swaying faintly in the air.
‘Genjaaang-! If only I could fly freely in the sky… ! Then I’ll be the breeder teacher! If I could, I would hug you tightly and seduce you with my heart—’
!
While Eros was brooding over the unsatisfactory current situation, a black circular object suddenly flew in from behind.
It was incredibly fierce and fast.
“Whoaaagh… ? You almost got hit by magic bullets! Are you okay, Sensei?!”
The magic bullet in the form of a black sphere passed between the Breather and Eros.
At the same time, part of Zeroth’s purple hair fluttered in the air.
I almost got hit right away.
“After… ! I am fine too!”
The reason why they were relying on Sonya was obvious.
「Kihehehe-!!! 」
It was because the monsters were following closely behind.
I must have landed a good blow earlier, but
It was not enough with the strength of the still inexperienced second graders.
After that, there were several more fierce battles on the ground, but it was still difficult to completely subdue the monsters.
Possibly because of the lack of experience yet, the demons, like monsters, withstood Sonya and Eros’ attacks and pursued them closely.
“Miss Sonya? It’s fine, so hurry up and escape to the academy…… !”
For this reason, they had no choice but to flee. The continued war of attrition was tantamount to suicide.
“Right! If I stay like this, I’ll catch up! Can’t you speed up a bit more?!”
“Awesome… ! I’m doing my best too! And even if the breeder teacher doesn’t know, it’s because of your mace that you can’t speed…… !”
“What? So you’re saying it’s my fault now?!”
“No, I didn’t mean that… ! You fool! And speaking of which, can you throw away the mace?”
“Oh no! It was inherited from my late father!”
“Who wants to throw it away? Can you come back to retrieve it later?!”
“No! Absolutely not like this!”
Even in the midst of this, the two are arguing.
Every time you quarrel, your center of gravity shakes.
Of course, the speed also slowed down.
“Ladies… ?! Now is not the time to fight each other! If you do this, you might really catch up!”
At this, the breeder shouted in frustration.
“But Sonya had a fight first…… !”
“When did I?! Let’s just leave that heavy piece of iron behind for a while!?”
“Haa… ….”
I’ve grown a lot, but I’m no different from a child.
To argue with each other even in this situation.
Thanks to that, I got motion sickness, so I’m going to die of dizziness.
ㅡKeeeing! Too kwok… !!!
Even in the midst of this, the monster continues to pursue and fire magic bullets.
For some reason, he persistently pursued them. As if they were moving after being commanded by someone.
ㅡ Boo Woo Woo Woo!
Breather’s shirt is torn to shreds by the magic bullets he just spewed out.
Thanks to Sonya and Eros’ reeling fight (?), Fortunately, it seemed that only the collar passed by.
“hahahaha, sir…… ???”
“I’m fine. Rather than that, Miss Sonya?!”
“Yes, yes?!”
«Can’t we just go down to the academy and ask for help? Why does he keep feeling like he’s walking away from the academy?!”
It was as the breeder said.
Even running away was good, but
For some reason, it was flying in the wrong direction.
“I want to do that too. But… ! Unfortunately, because the demons are pushing…… !”
Sonya bites her lip to correct her balance.
According to her words, she intended to go back to the academy and apply for support.
But now they are being closely tracked. I could never set my own path.
Because of that, I had no choice but to fly in an unwanted direction.
「Kyaooooo———!!!」
On the other hand, the monster was deliberately guiding them to a place where people were rare. Like a beast hunting a mole.
“Please hold on tight for now-! I’ll try to fly to the safest place…… !”
It’s been several minutes since I’ve been chased by monsters like that.
ㅡ Hui oh oh oh oh…… !
Suddenly, a cold knife wind greets them.
“Huh? It’s snow… ? In this kind of spring weather…… ?”
As the breeder’s bewildered reaction, this wasn’t just a wish.
It was a blizzard mixed with small snowflakes like sleet.
That would be too…….
“Sonia? This is the direction to the observation post, right? Why this way…… ?!”
“I-I don’t know! Because I was being chased, I came all the way here without even realizing it…… !”
After being chased in a hurry, I unintentionally ended up near a snowy mountain covered with snow.
“… Ah?! Oh, rather good!”
“Sonia? How are you? What are you talking about?”
“As you said, a little further from here is the observation post… ! Let’s hide there for now! And in a place full of snow like this, I think we can do anything!”
“Sonya, could it be you…… ?”
Sonya was taking this crisis as an opportunity, saying that even if she entered the tiger’s den, she could survive if she stayed alert.
“Yes! Teacher?! Could you be patient with me? We’ll land soon… !!!”

“Whew… ! Did you just run away?”
In the original case, it should have been a happy (?) Shift with the breeder teacher.
However, the monster appeared out of nowhere and all the plans went awry. Even the teacher almost got hurt.
‘Still, I can feel at ease here…… !’
But I wasn’t very lucky.
I was unintentionally chased by a monster,
The place of emergency landing was not as bad as I thought.
Thanks to the raging snowstorm and the rugged terrain, I somehow managed to escape from the monster’s eyes.
“Come on, everyone, go inside… ! You’ll be safe here for a while!”
In addition, it was equipped with shelters.
I took everyone and hid inside the observatory located at the highest point of Valkyrie Island.
‘We have to stop the monsters from approaching any more…… !’
After luckily getting rid of the monsters, the first thing I did as soon as I entered the guard post was…….
ㅡ Ugh… !
It was to spread a barrier around the guard post.
First of all, I manipulated the cold armlet to maximize the amount of mana emitted. To envelop the entire guard post in a bitter blizzard.
No matter how much a monster was born with the power of Detronos, it would be difficult to pierce this cold barrier all at once.
“Whoa… ! I sighed with this.”
Is this a real battle?
During that time, I was overconfident in my skills.
I thought I could somehow subdue monsters…….
“… Cow, Sonya?! Come and see!”
“Huh? Eros, what’s wrong? What else is going on?”
I just wanted to catch my breath,
Eros calls in an urgent voice.
What the hell happened again?
No matter how much they are roommates and best friends, maybe it’s because they’ve been through a lot while working together, so I’m scared that I might have another accident.
Seniors told me that the first shift was the most difficult, but it’s harder than I imagined. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have asked the breeder.
“… B, Mr. Breeder’s condition is strange!”
As soon as the barrier is stabilized, news like thunder from the blue sky is heard.
“What… ? Go, what are you talking about all of a sudden?!”
“I don’t know exactly what it is! Just… As soon as I entered the guard post, I collapsed!”
“That, it can’t be… ? You seemed fine until just now, but why?!”
“Anyway, come here quickly! Hurry…… !”
“Seo, did you get hurt during the flight?!”
