Chapter 5. Saviour

Luckily I arrived right on time before the girl who screamed for help gets slapped by the white tiger.

The tiger looked at the shield like a curious big cat and slapped lightly a few times.

While it was 'playing' with the shield, I quickly made spikes from the below of the tiger which the tiger was able to dodge all due to instinct.

The tiger vanished right in front of my eyes and reappeared far from me which made me wonder whether it teleports or moves very fast. I, personally think it is more of a previous than latter.

I didn't waste any time as every second was crucial for the girl's survival as she was hurt pretty hard.

I jumped down from the tree and attacked the tiger with tentacles made from the shadow.

The tiger vanished once again and reappeared ready to deliver a mighty slap.

But this was the thing I was waiting for. I was waiting for it to get into range of 'WWDL' and immobilize it using shadow tentacles.

The shadow below the tiger transformed into tentacles and wrapped around the tiger's whole body before it could attack and pinned down it to the ground.

The tiger let out a roar.

I slowly approached it ready to finish it off.

But then the tiger vanished and slapped me from behind. I was lucky that 'WWDL' unconsciously protects its user.

I grunted and realized I was the one who underestimated the opponent.

The tiger once again vanished and reappeared far away knowing that staying close is dangerous.

But I got another way. Shadow enveloped me and I transferred to the what I call 'shadow dimension and moved through it.

Looking at its prey disappeared the tiger was curious and had fixed its gaze forward where its 'opponent' last has been not knowing what was happening behind.

I reappeared behind the tiger, quickly made tentacles to pin it down, and materialized the same scythe I saw in my dream and cut the tiger in half. It was one of the monstrous aspects of the 'WWDL' which is the weapon materialized from the darkness is very sharp that can cut clean a tree with 20 centimeters radius and the big white tiger like this.

The tiger didn't even realize it had died.

After killing the tiger, I looked around me noticing another 3 kids in more critical condition than the girl.

I gathered them and gently wrapped their wound with the shadow tissues which I hoped it would make prevent wounds from getting dirty. After the gathering is done, I had no clue what to do next. All I could do was to wait for other people to arrive.

Fortunately, 5 people arrived not so long after. Four of them was man, and the last one was a woman.

They didn't immediately notice me and the kids and looked around the dead bodies of wolves that I believe they were engaging before the tiger arrived.

"Look!!!" one of the men shouted after noticing me and the kids. "The kids are there."

Then they approached us at a slow pace.

"Teacher Amanda quickly tend the kids and others took the kids from there. And lastly, who are you?" The man in front of them, who wore different clothes that the rest said.

After hearing his question, I realized I had no memories of me.

"I-I don't know." I stuttered.

"Kid, look here I'm not here to play games. So who are you?" The man let out a strange aura. This aura was powerful enough to put the other 3 men's shivers.

"I don't know." I answered honestly.

"You are making me angry." The man was already irritated by the kids who got hurt on their first day and now he was being mocked by a random kid in the forest. He thought he was being mocked. Due to this, he became angry and attacked the kid in front of him.

Looking at the man charging to me, I was startled. I didn't think there would be a person who will attack without knowing anything. It was both stupid and naive.

He used his double sword still sheathed and tried to hit me with them.

I created a shadow shield and blocked his attack and made the counter-attack with my tentacles and made him flew.

Soon after he crashed into the tree, he approached me with a smile on his face. From this point, I really thought he was a psychopath.

"I really didn't expect you to be this strong. Then I can go out full." The man said.

"Wait!!! Operator John, are you going to kill him?" one of the men asked.

"No, teacher Maxim. I will just play with him a little." John replied.

After his short conversation, he unsheated his swords and attacked the kid.

But even if he unsheathed his swords they were not able to cut my shields.

Soon after John posed strangely and rushed towards me with high speed.

I created a shield to protect the attack but once I saw his swords were shining brightly I felt something was wrong.

"[Sword Bomb]" John shouted.

I trusted my instinct and transformed my shield into a ball and enveloped myself.

*3rd person*

John got irritated from the kid's defense and decided to use their strongest skill of his arsenal, a skill that goes by the name [Sword Bomb]. This was one of the must-have skills of any nuker guard and this skill allows the user to burst and explode his mana with high damage to the surroundings but not to the user.

Knowing these facts John was sure he had won until he saw black ball standing there menacingly.

Without wasting time, tentacles came from the ball and attacked John.

John was able to dodge from the first 10 or so but he wasn't able to when the number exceeded 20.

The teachers looking at this were shocked. They never thought John who was 3-star operators would get his ass whooped like this.

Soon John had no strength to dodge was now standing still while a spear made from shadow was approaching at high speed ready to finish him off.

Right before the spear pierces through John's skull, Amanda shouted "Wait!!!" and the spear stopped in front of John's left eye. "It's our fault for misunderstanding."

While Amanda was shouting from the bottom of her lungs, there was also a girl with platinum-white hair was standing next to her.

"He is the man who saved us." the girl shouted with her teacher.
