Episode 55. Prince in the Cage pt.9

I looked at my students who were standing in front of me.

None of them can beat me.

However, they have faith, if the three of them work together they can beat me.

We'll see if it's real or just bullshit.

'Fighting them with my blade seems difficult. I'd better use my magic,' I said to myself.

I took out low-level water magic and aimed it at them.

SPLASH!

The water shot towards the three of them.

But when the water shot was approaching them. The water froze and fell to the ground.

'I forgot that Sophia and Dahlia are ice users!' I was really surprised.

But not long after, the three of them split up.

They all seemed to be trying to attack me from all sides.

Stevent from the front, Sophia from my left, and Dahlia from my right.

What kind of attacks will they use?

Point of View: Third person

Rasyid didn't seem to know what was going to happen. Yet he had already anticipated all sorts of attacks.

He was ready to get hit by any strong blow.

Meanwhile, Stevent who ran towards Rasyid tried to stab the teacher with his sword.

Stabbing with a double-edged sword was a bad decision.

That's what the teacher saw and thought.

But right after that, when Stevent was about 1 meter away from him.

The boy's steps stopped for a moment and made Rasyid surprised.

"Why?" Rasyid said to his students in front of him.

"Eh hehehe." Without giving a clear reason, Stevent laughed in front of him.

The attack from the side drew closer and shifted the teacher's gaze towards the two of them.

Sophia and Dahlia prepared to attack the teacher from two directions at once with their respective weapons.

"Catch!"

When the distance was close, both of their weapons were thrown at each other causing Rasyid who was among them to avoid it just by turning his body slightly.

When the two weapons flew and passed him, neither of them caught the thrown weapon. Instead, they raised their hands and raised their palms toward the teacher.

"Huh?" The teacher was astonished.

His eyes tried to turn to Stevent who had been silent.

When he saw it, that student's sword was already deactivated. His hands also followed like what the both of them do.

"This is the form of our teamwork!" Said Stevent with an arrogant face.

Stevent should have realized one thing during the fight.

The enemy uses armor from the ground, and that's not all.

Since then, his opponent has been silent.

The face of no objection appeared on the teacher's face.

Point of View: Rasyid Londerik

'So that's their plan? I thought they'd be throwing out physical attacks at the same time... Turns out it's just this trash combo attack!' I looked at the three of them with a slightly annoyed look because they were disappointed me.

Below me, there is a circle magic of water that forms a pattern.

I who stepped on it earlier just stared at it silently.

The magic was from the person in front of me, Stevent.

SPLASH!

The circle suddenly shot up and made me feel like was in a water prison.

Is it time for a little bit of acting? Maybe I can see their satisfied expressions.

I slowly made a shocked and panicked face.

"W-what?!" Fake surprised voice.

I looked around me but didn't see I had a way out.

This prison circle is also very small and it makes me cramped.

Shortly after the water circle spouted, Sophia and Dahlia made dozens of ice needles and were ready to be blasted at me.

"Eh?!" This is beyond my expectation.

My surprised expression right now wasn't a mere act. Now I'm really scared.

"Sorry to be a bit rude, but these are your orders, right?!" Dahlia said that while holding her hand from casting her magic.

"For some reason, stabbing you seems to make me happy... You wouldn't mind it, would you, Mr. Masochist?!" Sophia plainly smiled slyly at me.

I'm strong enough to be hit by this attack, but only if I get hit by one stab, not dozens or even more than 20.

'Where did the two of them get this much energy to cast this magic?!' Something's weird, that's for sure.

Forget it, all I have to do right now is get out.

I don't want to become a god-level masochistic ultra triple SSS just because of these stabs.

I have to quickly destroy this prison.

But to destroy it requires ice magic.

I should be able to outwit them... But how?

I was really nervous looking around the place looking for a way.

My eyes fell on the ice needles which seemed difficult to balance in the air.

A sly smile appeared on my face. 'This is how it should be!'

I cast wind magic which incidentally was invisible and can't be seen by them.

I used this magic to drag an ice needle to crash into the wall of this water prison.

"Eh-eh, what is happening?! I'm suddenly having a hard time holding it in!" Sophia was surprised by one of her ice needles.

It was slowly moving towards me and getting closer and closer to crashing into this circle.

"Sophia! Hold on, if you can't hold it in then it will freeze- (Cut by the sound of ice and water colliding)

CRACK!

The prison that imprisoned me turned into frozen prison and gave me a chance to escape.

I slashed the prison and smashed it into pieces.

"Ah!" Their voices were all shocked and sad.

Sophia and Dahlia were surprised to make them cancel their magic.

I managed to thwart their plan, although with a dirty trick.

It's better than me being more masochistic.

I smiled widely as I looked at the three of them.

"Yo kids, Let's party begin!"

I went forward and tried to slash at Sophia who wasn't carrying a weapon.

TANG!

But quickly Stevent ran towards me using his light magic and blocked my attack.

Right now, my blade and his sword were meeting against each other.

"How dare you attack people without weapons, moreover it was girls!" Stevent is lecturing me.

I didn't feel sorry, because I knew this would happen. And what's more, this is a test for Stevent.

"No, I did this knowing you would act . . . Stevent!" I braced myself and pushed him.

My blade managed to beat Stevent's sword in a friction fight.

THUD!

I won't give him time to rest.

Right after that, I tried to slash him again and again.

TANG TANG TANG.

He managed to block all my attacks with the help of his light magic.

"What a nice skill you have?!" I commend the boy.

He even looked annoyed when I said it. 'Did I pronounce it wrong?'

"To be praised by you... It really pisses me off!" Stevent finally attacked me with a tight grip on his sword hilt.

The sword is swung by rotating 180° horizontally.

4 Waves of light can be seen coming out of the slash and streaking towards me.

I ran to the side to avoid it but one of the two waves managed to slash my clothes.

If I was just a little late, I might lose.

"Sophia! Dahlia! Blizzard!" Stevent shouted for them.

Those who were silent seemed to understand what he meant.

They used our fighting time to pick up their weapons that were thrown far away.

"Sophia!"

"Dahlia!"

They once again threw their weapons at each other.

And again I who was among them had to dodge the attack.

But when their two weapons were right between me.

There was something odd, the two weapons had already been given elemental powers.

Particles of ice magic were in the fan that Dahlia threw.

Particles of wind magic were in the trident that Sophia threw.

WURLLLL!

Both of the weapons release their magic around me and still continued to fly toward their master.

"Gotcha!"

"Get it!"

Said the two of them as they recaptured their weapons.

The mark of the explosion created an ice storm that obliterated the sandstorm that had been messing around for a while.

"Damn it!" I said annoyed.

At this rate, I'll be below 0° C and going to get frostbite.

"It seems you're all fighting serious right now... Then I'm going to have to be serious too!"

I stomped my foot on the ground and made an upward elevation.

The elevation height I made exceeded the height of the storm.

Once above the storm, I raised my blade up and activated high-level water magic.

"Rain from heaven!" I said that even though it was pointless.

The rain fell and stopped all kinds of storms beneath it.

"Heh! You all need to make become a troublemaker to get serious?!" I stared at them from this height.

As the storm cleared, my eyes wandered around to see the surrounding area.

Until finally, I was surprised by several students that aim their weapons at me from afar.

BANG! CRACK!

The sound of bullets and arrows shot towards me at the same time.

I who was standing on the small elevation couldn't move to dodge two attacks at once.

I ended up getting hit by the bullet from Gita's attack and fell from there.

THUD!!!

My landing was so loud, that it even made Stevent, Sophia, and Dahlia worry.

"Are you all right, sir?!" Say them together.

I raised my thumb to indicate I'm fine.

A moment after that, several footsteps started walking closer to here.

"Did we do it?!" Said Gita who ran towards this place.

"No, this is not the end... He will not defeat that easily!" Astra was terrified about that.

As Astra said, I won't lose that easily.

As soon as he said that, I stood up and pointed my blade at all of them. My smiling gaze mocked them as if telling them to attack me together.

"Come on! The real battle is just about to begin!" I said while making the blade that I'm holding look like it has high slashing power because I gave it high-level water magic.

The combination of 8 of them was enough to beat me. Moreover, they seem to have learned about teamwork although I'm not sure about that.
