Cherreads

Chapter 11 - All for the points

The students had already been warned about the hunters, but since there were few of them, it was very likely they wouldn't find them. Terrible luck.

...did he just jump in like that? He must have a lot of confidence_ I kept watching Daren who went straight to attack a group.

"Maybe he's angry" _ while we were exploring the area, I couldn't keep up with him.

I was sinking in the snow, the cold was slowing me down, I got lost several times, I was indeed a dead weight.

I observed Liria and Elia, Elia was preparing her bow, aiming towards the place of the conflict. Liria was casting a spell, gathering mana in her wand.

"Will they attack while Daren talks to the group?" I glanced at Daren's situation, he seemed calm.

(Daren) You seem good_ Daren, who placed the broadsword resting on his shoulder.

Thanks, it seems like you too... Lior in a combat stance, stared intently at Daren.

The wizard Gen and Rion were worried; they knew that fighting with other people was more difficult than the previous battles.

(Daren) Well, they should already know... it would be better to run, don't you think?

"That will be impossible, a mage and an archer, the other I have no idea, but I know running would be stupid," Lior gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, looking at his companions.

(Daren) What do you think you're doing?_ he was getting ready, grabbing with both hands, drawing the broadsword that was behind his back.

The noise ceased and silence appeared, the leaders of both teams facing each other, Lior slightly worried, Daren confident.

Alex held a potion behind her, this was going to be a fight without precedents. Each member of both teams, getting ready.

"Well, except for me, HA HA-"

The arrow was shot, the potion created a lumpy and soft green wall, six meters surrounding the place.

(Daren) What! He was surprised by the potion thrown, the arrow that was supposed to hit the wizard was caught by the walls.

_!!aah!!_Lior took advantage of Daren's distraction and lunged at him.

¡¡CLANK!!

_!!!_ the sword couldn't penetrate, a magical wall had been created with the purpose of protecting Daren.

(Daren) Bad decision!_ swinging his sword, he made a horizontal cut, tearing and slicing through the wall, easily overcoming the difficulty posed by the potion.

_"Lior, down!"_ Lior ducked quickly, Rion who shouted, had enough distance not to be cut, but he wasn't going to let it go like that.

Rion clenched his left fist, imbued with mana, when the great sword was in front of him, he took a gulp from below.

¡KRANG!_the blow was so strong that the sword jumped up.

(Daren) Ugh! The sharp blow that Rion delivered made Daren lose his balance.

_!!Gen now!!_ the wizard Gen, with a quick incantation, cast a wind spell that sent Daren flying.

Whoos_ when Daren flew out, a second arrow made its presence known. No one had noticed, especially the wizard.

_¡¡agk!!_ Gen fell to the floor, there was an arrow planted in his shoulder.

_gen!_ Rion wanted to run to where Gen was.

_Stop, Rion!_ The arrow created a bluish flash. Boom!

The explosion lifted the snow with force and created a small crater.

_Gen_rion was shocked by the bewildering scene, his eyes were fixed on the spot where Gen was.

_rion, don't worry about Gen, he was returned to the camp_ the words didn't reach Rion's ears, he looked up the hill, the silhouette with an object that seemed to be a bow.

_You!_ Rion ran towards the silhouette, driven by his hatred, he didn't notice that a third attack was happening.

(Daren) Where are you going! Daren made his presence known again, with a slanted attack, he aimed to strike Rion's back.

_I won't let you!_ Rion, before he was knocked down by the surprise attack, was saved by Lior's help, who with a kick, managed to deflect Daren's sword.

"Alex, help Rion, defeat the wizard and the archer!" Lior exclaimed, while holding Daren back.

_Good!_ Alex accompanied Rion.

_Now it's just you and me!_ Lior delivered a blow to Daren's rib, but he didn't react to the attack.

(Daren) It's in vain, you won't be able to break through this protective magic_ he showed confidence in Lyria's protective magic

Both had already had combat encounters as course delegates, so they trusted each other's skills.

_I just need to hold on, my teammates will defeat the wizard, because I trust them_ just like Daren, Lior also knew his teammates, maybe he hadn't been with them for long, but they went through moments, even though disjointed, they managed to keep going.

_if we lose, we lose, but I am grateful to have joined them_ Lior, took a combat stance.

(Daren) Yes, you are a good leader. Daren also prepared.

Both leaders face to face, although Lior's strength is lesser making him unbalanced, he just wanted to resist as much as possible.

Thank you.

(Daren) Prove it with actions.

Things got complicated, Elia shot two more arrows, but none hit their target because Rion, who had an angry look on his face, cut them off.

"Yes, it's scary" _ Rion was running towards us, but we still had time to think of something quickly.

(Liria) You're silly to worry_ Liria looked at me with the same expression she always had, empty and with dull eyes.

...and Elia, where did she go?_ Elia, after having shot the two arrows, vanished in seconds, as if she simply wasn't there.

(Liria) You are frustrating_ Liria's listless face made it impossible to tell if she was telling the truth or lying.

"I don't know how to feel, to be honest."

...he's almost here_ Rion was already close to us, but what surprised me more was that Alex could keep up with him, although it was strange.

That woman was drinking some potions, no idea how many she had in her backpack.

(Liria) Leave it to me_ raising her wand, she cast a spell, 'the fire sows and ashes remain,' a very anticlimactic ability because we were in the middle of the snow.

The snow evaporated in an instant, a two-meter fireball emerged from his wand, the mana that must have been spent on that ability must have been high.

...L-Liria, it's very close now_ Rion was about 20 meters away and Alex about 25 meters.

(Liria) I told you it's pointless to worry_ Liria pointed at Rion and the fireball shot out and split into several, looking like small bullets, which came out in a bunch.

¡Track,track,track! The small fireballs exploded when they fell, like New Year's firecrackers.

"Old memories"

Although I haven't been in this world for long, hearing firecrackers in my previous life was very uncommon, of course, unless you went to the lower neighborhoods.

Rion managed to dodge at high speed, Alex covered himself with another potion, the one that created a green wall.

...I don't think it's working.

(Liria)..._ among the various small fire bullets, some arrows began to emerge.

_agh_Rion was caught off guard by the arrows; although he dodged as much as he could, he was hit in the left shoulder.

_!!Rion, catch!!_ Alex threw a red potion.

"I suppose it will be a healing potion"—this puzzled me a bit; they were managing to get even closer. "I should get involved"

I took a step forward, [pulse] thanks to my skill I managed to make a huge leap, I aimed the sword in the air, opened my palm [pulse] The sword shot out, cutting through the wind until it hit its target.

_!¡agh, what!!_ the sword pierced his thigh, and he tried to pull out the sword while attempting to deflect most of the fire attacks and arrows.

_¡¡Rion, get out of there!!_ I ran towards him, until I was close enough, [pulse] I struck his face with my knee, propelled by the skill, I managed to deal the maximum damage possible.

_ah!_ Rion flew about 5 meters.

(Liria)!!!_"How is it possible that he can exert that kind of strength?" Liria was surprised by Noah's ability, it's as if he had trained hard.

Liria wanted to prevent Noah from going out to fight because it was said that he was weak; she heard that from those who saw him fight against Lucian, a rank A.

They called him lucky simply because he beat Lucian; he showed little coordination in his attacks, there was no way to doubt it, his only skill was luck.

(Liria) "I thought that, but what I'm seeing isn't something like 'luck' but rather skill."

(Elia) I believe so too_ Elia appeared silently beside Liria.

(Liria) You still have that habit of showing up anywhere.

Elia and Liria, being sisters, something very rare appeared, and this was not common at all, the ability to see each other's thoughts.

A very strange natural ability, but it wasn't much use, after all, they always share secrets.

Both sisters stared at each other, and then Elia prepared to shoot an arrow.

_here, take this and this_ Alex gave two potions to Rion, he had managed to rescue him since he was attacked by Noah.

He threw a mist potion, which was blinding, and quickly took Rion to a snow banquet.

Sorry for being a burden, I shouldn't have gotten involved like this. Rion was healing thanks to Alex's potions.

_don't say sorry to me, heal quickly_ Alex was already finishing up dealing with Rion, knowing they would find her quickly, so she was hurrying.

"Alright, I'm ready," Rion stood up in an instant, the potions reacted quickly so he healed rapidly.

"I can't find them"—I couldn't see them around, behind, in front, to the left, to the right, anywhere.

...maybe they were hiding inside the snow-

A potion flew in my direction, I dodged it just in time.

...that was close_ the floor where the potion fell left a green stain on the snow.

"What exactly was that?" the floor was corroding, it was acidic..

I was stunned, and then Rion jumped on me from behind...!!!

_Aah!_ Before it made the cut, an arrow managed to divert it.

CLANK!_Rion managed to cut the arrow, but he couldn't react in time.

_agh!_he made a not-so-deep cut on his arm.

_now, Alex!!_ Alex got out of the snowbank, took out a green potion (acid), and threw it.

[Pulse] I managed to dodge the potion, I aimed it with the sword [pulse] CLANK!, Rion countered the shot and deflected it.

Now he had no weapon and was next to two opponents.
