"What!? What is this!?" Amanda cried out. Her body began to tremble. I can see why. At least a hundred students dead, and many girls were being used as….. I don't even want to look at the scene in front of me.
I looked in the direction of my so called teacher and reached out with my hand. A magic circle appeared behind him and shot him towards me using a strong burst of wind magic. I knew his location because I could sell his scent since I met him. "You!"
"You, what!? You dare stand by when young kids, not even fully adults, are being dragged off!? And having such things done to them!? Is this a game to you!?" I shouted at the elf that suddenly appeared. He was Instructor Telive
"I was given specific orders to never get involved!" Telive shouted back at me.
"What kind of crap instructor doesn't see the situation and does not think something is wrong!? Do you not have a conscious!?" I was mad. My chest was heaving up and down. I was having a hard time controlling my anger once more.
"Faith! Those things are coming!" Adel cried out. I guess she had never witnessed such things before. The only reason I was calm was that I kind of expected this.
"Everyone, get in formation. All casters to the middle. Adel, you as well." I shouted and then looked at Telive. "Are you going to be a teacher or not!? If so, then do your damn job. Otherwise, I will make sure you and every teacher hiding right now will die."
I was not joking. I did not see this being some kind of test anymore. It would be fine if this was not a test. If these people came here on their own accord, but this was a test. No girls or the boys that died trying to save them should have to go through all of this so soon when half of them barely had enough combat experience to kill a horned rabbit.
"Fine!" Telive answered through gritted teeth and began attacking the goblins. There were only a few, and they would die quickly but still. "You better help me explain this to the dean!"
"Don't worry. Just do your job as an instructor!" Even though I say this, I am not sure what to do about a few of these girls. Even after I sliced up the few goblins that attacked us, I still could not figure out how to deal with them. "Those already in the process…."
"Don't worry. I will erase their memories of this event," Telive answered. His face was not looking so good. I guess he was affected by the scene in front of him after all.
"I will thank you then." I said this before sending out a few fireballs at the instructor's hiding along the walls. I made sure that the spells would not exactly hit the, but….
"My hair!" One instructor yelled out. As soon as she became visible, a goblin suddenly jumped at her forcing her to have to attack. The other two instructors were male and were basically ignored. But what I didn't get with this many dead, where are the other instructors?
"Why did you make me come out!? Do you know they are dragging people off!?" The female instructor yelled out.
"Why are you hiding instead of not stopping students from getting this far!? You people make no sense!" I didn't get it. Why was this happening? They were just sitting there as if they were watching the show.
"It's because…."
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
A loud shout came from a large opening in the back wall. A huge hand suddenly gripped the side of the broken stones of the large hole, and from within the darkness of the hole, a large head emerged. "An orc!?" It was a pig headed monstrosity. It had a pig face with large tusks sticking out from the bottom of its mouth. In its free hand was the body of an older woman wearing torn Academy rows. Now I understand. They hid because if they came out, that thing would appear.
"Dammit, it's here again. We will be trapped!" The female instructor yelled out. Her words struck me as odd as I looked around, and that was when I saw it. A barrier blocking anyone from escaping. Was this like the dungeons in video games? Was this some kind of low level boss? While I understood why they hid, I still don't see the reasoning on why they did not try to help the ones they were overseeing for the tests. Ten groups…. "I see… Instructor Telive. And I call you instructor lightly. And the same goes for the three of you as well. Make up for your inaction by killing the goblins. Bring back those girls and erase their memories. As for the big guy…. I will handle him myself."
"Wait, no, Faith, you can't!" Adel grabbed my arm and shook her head. I smiled and looked up at Sally, who stepped forward and pulled Adel away. "Princess Adel, excuse me."
"Sally, let go of me! I will not let Faith alone!"
"Adel! Enough! Protect the others with Sei, Sally, and Sophie. Don't forget I can use both of your specialized magics." I yelled out. I used a stricter tone than usual. I could see Adel's unwillingness, but there was nothing I could do about it. I have already decided to deal with this on my own. As I see it, this dungeon should not exist, and as someone who has come from a world where stories of goblins are well known, I knew what to watch out for. I just had to make sure they did not catch me, is all. "Instructor Telive, move after I draw its attention."
"Don't worry. I promise to bring back as many as I can. The little green things are no match for us." Getting instructor Telive's promise, gripped my sword and shot toward the large orc that had just emerged. To be honest, this thing was about four times my size tall and many times that wide. But that did not matter. I could see its level was only level 26. Although strong for most of the people around me, it was not a threat for me. I picked up my pace and buffed my speed with multiple spells because jumping in the air and kicking out with my foot at the orcs face…..
