Episodes 100. A Servant who Take a Lead Pt.6

The palace gate has been opened. The troops from Class 1 Physical 1 stormed into the castle of Class 1 Magic 4. The warcry and cheers from the attackers were loud and buzzing as they entered. Screams of distress and fear could be heard from those sheltering inside the castle.

Our class will end this soon, for sure.

Me and my 11 classmates advanced and stormed the castle. The sounds of our footsteps echoed loudly within the castle.

Those sheltering in this castle won't be able to escape from here anymore.

Because...

On the other side, 6 other students who were on the balcony were told to stay there.

I will use them to set up an ambush when they flee.

"Everyone, advance!" I said, giving them motivation.

I advanced them and instructed them to clash against 10 students from the opposing class.

Earth, water, ice, fire, wind, electricity, light, and darkness. All these elements emerged and adorned the intense battle. Each element collided with each other, creating a diverse reaction.

Rizal and Yama.

I saw them struggling against their opponents.

Rizal, the user of fire and electricity elements, was struggling against an opponent with earth and darkness elements.

Rizal's weapons, two curved swords, continued to swing alternately to injure his opponent, but because he was disadvantaged by type, his strikes continued to fail to hit his opponent.

A continuous stream of earth and stone rose up like a lift, always blocking Rizal and constantly inducing his lightning and extinguishing his fire.

Meanwhile, Yama, who wielded water and earth elements, was being hindered by an ice element, which had an advantage over both of his elements.

She was completely powerless against her current opponents.

Maybe this is...

My moment to step in.

With confidence, I stepped forward and entered the battle.

I lifted my usual halberd and leaped.

By jumping from a height, I made my way into the middle of the battle in a very cool entrance.

That's how I felt, but if not... Oh well, whatever.

BOOM!

My halberd swung down and brought the battle between the two sides to a halt. The castle shook instantly from the hard blow of my halberd. Both friends and foes couldn't maintain their standing positions because of the shock.

"Wow!" (Rizal)

"Hakam?" (Yama)

Don't waste too much time, that's what I wanted to say, but I didn't dare.

Besides, there's something I want to do rather than say it.

Immediately, I turned my body and looked at my enemies.

I began to swing my halberd, gripping my weapon tightly with both hands, locking eyes with each of them, for some reason giving them an intimidating look.

But let it be.

I have to do it soon.

While my enemies are still gathered in one place.

With that thought in mind, I slowly rotated my halberd and seemed to swing it sideways.

The enemies fell silent.

Why are they?

Are they intimidated?

By me?

That can't be, right?

I'm just a servant, how could I make them scared like that? Surely one of my classmates must have given them that intimidating look, causing them to be silent like statues.

Forget it... What's important is, I have to do it.

Point of View: Kanda Sophia.

I see before me now, Hakam, who looks like he has a deep-seated grudge against them.

His eyes narrowed, the muscles in his face tensed, every vein in his forehead tightened, his teeth gnashed, and he looked very angry.

What's wrong with him?

Is this a new technique he's learned?

It seems...

From my point of view, he coldly stares at his enemies.

And in an instant.

SWOOSH!

The halberd swung sideways with a spin. 8 of them immediately fell from the deadly blow.

Seeing that,

my eyes widened. I saw how terrifying Hakam is now.

The swing of his halberd, slow, accelerated using light magic and increased its speed.

The result is clear. A halberd that is very slow but deadly instantly becomes very fast and can knock down those who are only affected by its wind.

As expected, he has grown.

Is Mr. Rasyid behind his transformation?

He always makes a surprise to those who oppose him.

Seeing this, Hakam was suddenly surprised and impressed by his attack.

He looked at his own hand that he had used to knock down his enemies. He looked at it tremblingly, unbelieving, and stunned.

"Was that my attack earlier? I thought someone was helping..." Hakam said from there.

It seems like someone's ego is going to swell.

I hope he doesn't get too cocky too fast.

Point of View: Hakam Surya

"T-they... the leader of the enemy side?!"

"So strong!"

The remaining students from the opposing class began to retreat, their trembling legs couldn't hide what was happening to them right now.

"R-retreat!"

"Wait, where are we retreating to? This is the last place!"

"To the throne room!" The student fled and entered a deeper place in the castle.

"Hey, w-we should wait here, don't become a deadweight for our commander!" Unfortunately, the words of that rational-thinking person were ignored by his friends. They preferred to flee rather than listen to someone who thought rationally.

Clearly, what they are doing now is only making it harder for those who are defending the commander.

The arrival of troops running away from battle will surely lower the morale of those inside the throne room and make them lose confidence that they can win this battle.

With that, the person standing alone there chose to follow the path chosen by his friends and retreated from the place.

Seeing that, Hakam, who had just brought down 6(2 of them still standing back) of them, raised his halberd and aimed it forward, towards where his enemies were fleeing.

"Charge!"

Immediately, they all advanced and stormed into the throne room.

The final battle is about to come but at that moment.

I felt something uncomfortable.

What is it?

The discomfort made me uneasy!

Slowly but surely, my eyes surveyed the surroundings of this palace chamber.

There was nothing strange, just an empty room without furniture.

You could say...

This is a very good place to set up traps!

As soon as I realized that, I tried to stop them.

But...

I remembered again, that my presence here was still forgotten by them (my classmates).

I'm also sure, Hakam even forgot that I am with him now, not with Team Stevent.

At that moment, my reflexes, which were supposed to warn them, ended up freezing and silent without saying anything.

As they were about to enter the throne room.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Dozens of magic circles right under their feet instantly activated and stopped their steps.

"Magic circles?!" (Yama)

"Damn, Hakam, how could you let us fall for the enemy's trap!" (Rizal)

"Not to mention this trap is similar to the one at the gate!" (Yama)

They chose to grumble rather than quickly avoid it.

Stupid! Why didn't they act and move away?!

Forget it!

I have to act quickly, or they'll be knocked out in an instant. However, my body kept saying otherwise, my body kept stiffening and reluctant to save them.

Come on!

Myself!

At least I can save one of them!

CRASH!

I managed to move and step forward instantly.

At the same time, the magic circle traps exploded, creating a combined explosion of fire and lightning.

Did I succeed?
