Ones more he slowly tapped the mic three times, addressing the student council president and Head mistress, principal already left the stage after her speech through the back door of the stage, he started speaking ' Not to make fun of u guys but there is something coming toward us, with my experience it probably be a Behemoth class dragon, its coming straight with high velocity, I don't think its friendly, I can sense great amout of malice in it '.
Every one panicked, as soon as they heard, soon the student council president raged into the stage and yelled at him ' what's the meaning of this ', and asked everyone to calm down stating that its just a prank, at the same instant the level-S security alarm started to scream, red lights covered the whole ceremony hall, she was stunned, unable to speak anything of humiliation, the headmistress barged into the stage and ordered every one to get to their classes ( classes are made to resist large scale attacks, also considered as safety hot spots in any crises.)
The special student defend force known as SSD, started to gather in the special deployment arena as they trained to do to protect the academy city celestial, most of them were 5th year along with other outstanding candidates trained in real combat from lower ckasses, the captain of the SSD order was Shina wemels, the student council president and second year, along with standby captain, student council vice president, Arina lingstant, to take measures and protect the academy from insde.
The whole academy city was closed inside the magical barrier (every academy has defense relics to protect the academy along with the city, given to them by the Empirial kingdim long ago), all the SSD containing fifty students launched into the air with the help of wing equipment that allow the user to fly in the sky by passing mana through it. The academy had already informed the Special Dragon knight Force of the country (SDF), but unfortunately it was to sudden and it would take time for them to reach the academy city, by the time they reach the academy their will be nothing to protect so the academy's SSD force had set out to defeat the dragon or thats what they hoped to do, it was their first time going against such demonic beast.
For some reason Earnest was not feeling positive about the situation of defeating the dragon, he sneak into the top roof of the academy and he used long sense, its an special ability by which he can see at great distance by closing his eyes and spreading his mana,
About fifteen minutes passed the dragon and the SSD force came face to face, the dragon stopped, they surrounded the dragon keeping a good distance between the dragon, they waited for the dragon to make its first move, this time unlike other encounters they done, they have no information about the Behemoth class black dragon, in close view the dragon was terrifying, few of the students stood still with a blank mind, as the name states the dragon has pitch black scales the wings were to long and makes the air around blows away with great force, its fangs was extreme white and red flames comes out from the gap between its fangs, it has a big red eyes that glows and can easily be spotted in an instant its claws are red as magma, its hair started from its fore head all the way to the tip of the tail is coved in fire, it was almost the size of an mid sized blue whale, suddenly the dragon roared, the effect made the SSD force stunned, they came to their senses with out any delay as it roared one more and the dragon rised above, they fell for it, they closed the distance between them trying to attack in as a group, the dragon used a beam attack using its mouth, the red concentrated beam headed towards them, the captain ordered to use barrier, it was so sudden that the barrier wasn't completely formed,the beam hit their barrier and the barrier broke sending them toward the ground, luckily they weren't hurt, the captain ordered to spread out and use their best long range attack at once, they ones more surrounded the dragon keeping much more distance between than before, the captain signaled and everyone attacked, the spells hit the mark but it hardly done any damage all though it was a flashy move, want it done was increase its rage, the dragon covered itself with fire, just before the second volley of attack from SSD, the dragon used long range 'annihilator' an attack which fires at spherical order, most of them were unable to dodge the attack and fell down to the forest, unconscious, they were too high in the sky with out the safety feature of the wing equipment they were good as dead but the safety feature kicked in an instant just before they hit the ground, lucky they weren't dead, just some fracture here and there,
There was roughly thirty one of them who still can fight, the battle was fearsome most of them was exhausted out of mana, the captain and some others were hardly keeping up roughly ten others were defeated and seriously wounded, its almost past the retreat phase, and they can't even defeat the dragon more over make it back off, all their attacks hits it mark, the dragon took each and every attack head on, like teasing them of their lack of power, if they retreat now the dragon will sure to rampage the city, after fifteen more minutes everyone other than the captain was defeated, she wasn't that block headed to challenge it one on one, with her hardly remaining mana and her superior control of wing equipment she attacked the dragon and flew away with high speed, to take it away from the city into the deep forest so that her fallen teamates won't get in its way of attacks to worsen their state of injuries,
Earnest got his chance to defeat the dragon, he was waiting for the perfect moment to launch, for him it was simply not even considered as a challenge. He just got into the academy and is hiding his powers and identity as the Empirial prince, he can't possibly ruin the hard work he done on hiding himself. He gave almost all his physical force on the ground to enhance his launch efficiency and speed to fly in the sky using air magic, he launched into the sky with the speed of an jet making a great impression on the roof, the ground where he was standing had cracked in a circular way with about two inches depth, he wasn't able to use transportation magic because it only takes him to places he had gone, so it was out of option, at the same time the captain of SSD force was heading straight into the Mystical forest of illusions, the opposite way from the academy followed and attacked by the dragon, she dodges most of the attacks but her lack of mana makes hard for her to doge with precision she got slower and slower considerably and was almost out of mana, she was way too far from the academy, she stopped and took her sword, it was one of the divine luxes only given to few who surpass the normal human magical strength, in other words, only to the ones who posses greater amount of mana and magical abilities, and those weapons has its own consciousness and they choose their owner, its impossible that the weapon will allow them to be used by others,
The captain and the dragon engaged in one on one battle, she was hardly holding it in, she was using the abilities of her sword protect herself and counter attack, the sword can only protect its users from a limited number of magical attacks and won't be able to protect its user on its own against physical attacks, it completely depends on the skill of the user but is strong enough to cut through anything, the dragon rushed with great speed and used its claws, her special armored battle suit was destroyed and she was wounded from top of her shoulder to her lower stomach in a cross manner, she screamed with despair and pain, she was weeping and bleeding all over, as soon as possible the dragon used its tail to slam her send crashing into the ground, she almost lost her consciousness as crashed into the forest, the wing equipment absorbed great amount of force when she hit the ground, the dragon was aiming at her hovering just above the top of the tree, most of the magical beast left the area due to the presence of demonic dragon,
The dragon completed it special spell, 'hell flame' its a unique spell only higher dragons can use, it can annihilate a whole village. the dragon launched the spell, she wasn't able to move an inch, her bones was fractured and out of energy and mana, the black flames covered the woods suddenly she saw, blue light piercing through the dark flames giving an human form, it was Earnest who used barrier to protect her in the nick of time, he used his special ability ' Neutralize' (as it sounds it nullify any magical attacks in a fixed range of area, uses lots of mana) and the hell flames disappeared, he used 'rising phoenix' ( its a Fire based spell that has high damage and is high level spell only few of the highest mages can use), the blue flames taken the form of the phoenix hit the dragon and was send flying into the sky, that spell had done some serious damage to the dragon, to make it much more flashy and not to make her suspicious he took her divine lux, he is an exceptional in every case, of course he had his legendary sword that passed to him by his father, its only one of its kind and known to everyone, the greatest legendary Empirial sword of the history "X-Callibur", he couldn't use it infront of her, to protect his little secret. She was stunned by the miracles that held in front of her eyes, to make her think he is out of mana and can't use the sword properly he purposely burned his hand when took the sword, that's a small price to pay to hide the fact he can use it, the sword covered in blue flames as he send his mana into it. It dispelled the darkness in the wood, as the dragon stabilised from the attack it took from him, it headed straight toward him
( Normally no dragons would go against the Empirials, Empirial is the highest power which control the whole world behalf of the god and their blood is different from other nobility, they can control each and every living organisms even if they are monsters, but the living organisms corrupted by dark magic, loss its sense of reason and rampage with out any reason),
He raised the sword and launched into the sky as he got head to head with the dragon, he sliced the dragon into half using one of the secret technique called 'death slash', the two pieces of dragon passed either side of him into two different directions making him covered in blood. She lost her consciousness just after he defeated the dragon, she was in the brink of death, Earnest came down to her and pierced the sword into the soil standing, he used healing magic on her, that only few of the popes in the Church can use healing magic and is considered as the gift of god in that world. As he is the send to that world as the representative of God by God himself, he has the same magical abilities as the God have, but it unlocks as the grows, suddenly rained Cats and Dogs, with strong blizzard wind and shining dark storm clouds covered the sun, it just past eleven and it almost look like night in the forest, due to the rain all of the SSD force members gained consciousness and took shelter down the trees, she gained her consciousness and saw him using the healing spell, that was when she got to see who he is, the rain cleaned the blood of the dragon from his body and his hair was shining along as the thunder flashes, she was lost in his charisma, he healed her completely, she wasn't feeling any pain from the moment she saw his face, he touched her face, that touch took her back to her senses, there was no trace if wound in her body but the healing magic won't restore the mana and energy, her combat suit was torned apart so he used his coat to cover her up and carried her. While he was walking, carrying her, he used earth magic to manipulate a distant tree, it was so big and had a large base area and it was one of the oldest trees in the woods, to make shelter for them to overcome the rain, the reason he made it away at a distance, because he have to hide the fact he can use all the element, he told the academy that he can only use two elements and few non elemental magic, he already used three elements infront of her and he can't afford to show more of his true strength, after getting into the shelter after fooling around in the rain to make her think he is searching for something, he used fire magic to heat up from freezing cold and get some light to see around, he laid her down and asked ' are you fine?', she suddenly panicked knowing what to say and how to respond, she mustered up the energy to speak, she said ' Yes, I am fine now, thanks to you, but I am out of energy so I can't move', He replied ' please, don't force yourself, I will replenish your mana and energy', He used his dimensional storage and took out pair of blankets, towels, energy drink, snacks and T-shirts and shorts that he uses to wear at home, she was amazed by seeing that and he told ' I won't be able to use the dimensional storage after a minimum critical level of mana, and I don't have any women's dress, if you like you can use it' she accepted his kindness and he held her hand, her face turned all red, blushing.
He transferred his mana and lied her that his mana is depleted into critical level, and gave her the energy drink, he used the towel to dry his hair and body and changed into his dry clothes using blanket to hide himself from her, because she couldn't move he dried her golden blond hair for her, and wiped her arms and legs after few minutes she was fully recovered and changed into his dry clothes to prevent from getting sick and they stuffed their stomach with snacks, and they covered themselves with blankets and sat on the tree floor looking apart at opposite direction leaning on each others back, he was taking care of her like a kid and she was flowing with it, that she forgot what happened hours before, she was acting like nothing happened.
Already three hours passed, most the SSD members were rescued by the other SSD members remained in the academy under the vice captain and student council vice president Arina lingstant, who was the other divine lux user and the SDF force of royal order had arrived under the harsh weather and rescued the other remaining of the SSD members and taken them back to academy's medical center, the student council vice president went searching for Earnest to ask him about how he known about the dragon ahead of them, all of the teachers and students were worried about miss Shina, the members who saw her told, the teachers that she had taken the dragon to opposite direction of the academy toward the magical forest, knowing the information about the dragon and bare idea of location the SDF force headed toward the magical forest with higher magical equipments, at the same time missing of Earnest spread like wildfire among the academy....
