Electives [3]

****

A large explosion occurred in the grounds, just beside Amon.

His ears were deafened by the large intensity of the noise.

However, he felt no pain on any part of his body.

Rather, his senses were distorted for some seconds before finally returning to normal.

Opening his eyes, he found himself at a large distance from the explosion, and just near him was Ren who was looking at the explosion with widened eyes.

Unlike everyone who's wide eyes were fixed on the large clouds of fire, Amon's eyes drifted toward the right.

He found Athena standing there with a frown etched on her face.

'She teleported us…' His eyes narrowed.

It was the very reason why he was calm as the explosion carried out.

She was very sensitive to mana in the air which was why as soon as she had felt a disturbance near them, she had teleported them all.

And then, he looked to his right side, near his feet.

A bloody body of Michael lay there with various burns on his partially charred body.

'This idiot….'

[That idiot….]

Amon and Zephyra simultaneously spoke out internally.

For the former, he was referring to Michael as the explosion had been carried out due to a failed experiment he wanted to carry out.

He had attempted to fuse [Sun] and [Fire] in his attack, and the former had overloaded the explosion due to its large amount of energy released with just the smallest amount of mana.

And for the latter, she was probably referring to Solaran as he had obviously given his approval to Michael to experiment.

The god himself must have been very excited about the experiment as well.

Next, Amon's gaze moved towards the tree.

And his thoughts were proven correct, as just like him Daniel was looking at Michael's body rather than the explosion.

Just like how it had happened with him last time, the man moved with speed to reach Michael.

'Now, in the novel, Athena should interrupt him before he can reach..' Amon thought as he looked back.

However, to his surprise, she was not there.

She had disappeared.

He gritted his teeth in frustration.

'Shit, no!' He looked back at Michael.

He had to stop Daniel from reaching him.

He crouched down towards the bleeding body of the latter with sweat dripping down his face.

Quickly, using his manipulation of blood, he started to control the blood pouring out from various injuries.

Daniel arrived before him.

"Leave it, boy, I can handle him, let me take him to the infirmary."

Amon gritted his teeth in rage, not bothering to reply to the man because of his intense focus.

"I…..can…..do.....it....myself." He mumbled through closed teeth.

Unfortunately, it wasn't working.

Though he was able to control the blood from some injuries. It was not nearly enough to control it from every spot, especially the large injuries.

And noticing that, Daniel remarked again with a shout, irritated.

"I said, leave it boy! I'll take him to the infirmary quickly, you are not nearly enough to control all his blood!"

Amon bit his lip hard, drawing some blood.

He couldn't let this happen.

Otherwise, Michael was done for.

He didn't understand where the hell Athena was, but now was not the time to think about that.

He thought hard about what to do in that moment and fortunately, the goddess inside his head came to help quickly.

[Call Elizabeth, quick!]

Hearing her voice, the realization struck him.

She was right. Elizabeth could stop the large injuries with her ice.

The students were in a panic right now, but he hoped she would be there.

To hell with his pride right now.

And so he shouted at the top of his lungs without taking his gaze off Michael.

"ELIZABETH! I NEED YOUR HELP!"

The shout was done. He couldn't look around for her right now to not lose focus.

He focused hard but it still wasn't working.

'Fuck!' He cursed.

Daniel, now clearly pissed off quickly crouched and reached his hands out to take Michael's body.

'NO!' Amon shouted internally and prepared to use [Voidstep] and teleport Michael out of range.

But fortunately, it wasn't needed as a hand came from behind him, slapping Daniel's hand away.

In the next instant, frost started to cover the large injuries, stopping the blood and creating clots at the place.

He didn't look beside him but he knew who it was.

She had arrived at his call. Truly a lifesaver.

"It's alright, we can handle our classmate professor." She retorted with cold eyes.

She then completely ignored him, looking at the bleeding body of Michael and also instantly identifying him as the cause of the explosion.

But she didn't say anything and continued to heal his body using ice.

Daniel's bored eyes were now filled with rage.

Even though the injuries were being sealed now, his position as a professor still held some respect that had to be given.

And so he latched out his hand to push them away and take Michael forcefully.

But it seems that luck was on their side, as a portal opened next to them and a beautiful figure walked out, grabbing Daniel's hand from the cuff.

She looked at him with indifferent cold eyes.

"It's alright Professor Daniel, I'll take my student from here. You may return to the other professors."

And before the professor could say a word, she grabbed them all and disappeared from the place in a blink.

But before they disappeared, Amon saw Daniel's eyes set on him for the last second, filled with rage.

The man's great opportunity and plan had been completely ruined.

His whole body was fuming right now. And all that was because of just one boy.

But the boy didn't care right now as he deeply sighed with relief. He had made it work.

They were safe. He had saved Michael.
