Chapter 119: 119 What’s Important.

“Hurry up, and evacuate to the upper floor”.

Silvia waved her hand, urging several students who barely regained their consciousness to leave the fifth floor, which had turned into a battlefield.

The safe floor that shouldn’t be devoid of any interference from monsters now gave birth to a calamity monster slightly below ancient monsters, like the one Silvia faced in the North Pole.

Her blue eyes swept over the students, and the senior who also helped the unconscious students leave the place.

She saw Allen, carrying Sereth, who still clenched the open wound on his shoulder.

Lily, who followed behind trying to exert her healing capabilities, but the light was significantly dimmed from what Silvia recalled.

Silvia stood still next to the passageway, waiting for the other two, Iris and Lucya, who came approaching together.

She observed the two who had no visible wounds on their bodies.

“Let’s go, Iris. I’ll help, too.” Silvia reached out to Lucya’s other side and helped lessen the burden of the Elven girl.

They walked up the stairs until they reached the fourth floor. The dark and gloomy atmosphere was thickened by the addition of heavy silence that shrouded the students.

The earlier event still shook them to the core. A sudden strong monster appeared, and one lost their arm without knowing what happened; it instilled terror in their heart.

“Silvia, Iris, I’m fine now”.

Lucya’s weak voice attracted the two’s attention. They glanced at the princess, noticing her steady breath, and slowly released their hands.

“Don’t push yourself too hard”. Iris chided from the side, patting Lucya’s back.

But Lucya shook her head, a fierce expression on her beautiful face. “That was something I couldn’t do when someone was out there holding that monster for us”.

Without minding other gazes, Lucya closed her eyes. Her thoughts raced at high speed, trying to recall a piece of memory.

Silvia and Iris widened their eyes, seeing blood dripping from Lucya’s nose. The girl must be struggling within her mind.

Although they didn’t know what she was trying to do, one thing was certain. Lucya’s desire to help Jin was conveyed correctly to them.

Silvia turned to Iris, and seeing the Elven girl also had the same fire in her eyes, they drew their own weapon.

“Thalassa”.

A glittered mist gathered around Silvia. It was cold and materialized into a light blue blade hovering before her, exhaling a chilling breath.

{I’m here, master}

An ancient female voice resonated within Silvia’s head. The girl grasped the handle of the blade.

The cold stung the crack behind her white gloves. It started to throb, but Silvia gritted her teeth as determination flared in her gaze.

Silvia stored her spare sword and tied the blue blade to her waist. “Thalassa, I need your help”.

{Your words are my command} Thalassa whispered. The water dragon began to coil around her master’s neck.

“Zephyros”.

Iris’s golden ponytail lifted. A gentle breeze swirled around her like a whirlpool, forming the majestic figure of a green wolf that sat next to her.

{I have come, My liege,} replied the wolves.

Its light tone was like that of a free-spirited man, true to its great spirit name, who holds freedom.

“Help me fight a monster”.

A bow emerged from thin air, coming from a storage item that students within the academy possessed.

They were given the item along with the uniforms as a prize for being accepted into the academy. It had a small capacity as a wagon.

But that was enough for anyone to put their weapons and personal items.

{Understood}

Zephyros’s big body glowed for a moment before shrinking to a regular size, standing on the same level as Iris’s waist.

Silvia looked around the wave of students and found Lily. She walked toward her side, attracting many gazes because of the unusual air around her.

Each time she stomped, cold air leaked from her body and froze the ground itself. Her emotionless face, devoid of emotions, sent a chill down their spines.

Sweat drenched the figure of Lily. She was unaware of a chilling shadow approaching behind her as she kept pouring her mana into the healing spell.

“Uuh, why wouldn’t it work?”.

“Lily?”. Silvia’s cold tone jolted the pink-haired girl and everyone present.

Silvia’s words were akin to a sharpened ice slicing through their skin, freezing even the flesh and blood inside.

With her trembling body, Lily twisted her neck toward the source and found Silvia’s pair of azure eyes, looking down on her from above.

“S-Silvia? What’s the matter?”.

The silver-haired girl glanced at Sereth, who was breathing hard. His face was deathly pale, coming from the blood that still oozed from his severed shoulder, and he seemed unconscious for a moment.

“What happened?”. Silvia looked at Lily.

“I don’t know, but my holy power seemed unstable”. Lily raised both her palms, gritting her teeth. “I can’t even use my healing ability when there is someone hurt like this”.

She saw Lily’s expression crumpled in grief. Her way of life, which aimed to save everyone with her healing magic, was admirable.

Lily’s straightforward personality and clear goal spark something inside Silvia.

{Master, this might be the cause of that Magic summoning eclipse}

A voice reverberated in her brain, prompting Silvia’s hand to grip the sword hilt.

(What do you mean, Thalassa?)

Silvia began to hear Thalassa’s explanation and often nodded off to herself, which caused the other students who saw her to raise their eyebrows in wonder.

(I see, so the only way to fix this is to destroy that black magic circle)

{Yes, master}

She turned around, leaving the students and returning toward her group. Iris communicated with her spirit while Lucya opened her closed eyes.

Her blue eyes flickered in golden pupils for a second, but they returned to normal. ’Lucya is also ready. It’s time to help him’.

The moment when Silvia grasped her resolve. A male voice broke her focus, coming from behind her. “Wait!”.

Silvia, Iris, and Lucya, in between, glared at him. They barely kept their cheek from twitching, for they recognized the senior.

“Where do you plan on going, Junior?”.

He was the senior who guided them in the entrance exam. His short blonde hair and refreshing appearance swayed many girls their age, but these three differed.

“I’m going to help, Jin”.

Silvia stepped forward, her icy glare freezing the air surrounding them.

“No, it frustrates me to say this, but we should evacuate to the surface and tell the teacher first.”

The senior male pressed his logic. It was true at this time, as a student who was still half-baked. The role of a teacher was still important in their lives.

However, for Silvia and the girls beside her, more than important, Jin was already a part of their half. He was inseparable and couldn’t be compared to anything else.

“You alone do that”. Silvia responded. She pointed toward the students behind the senior and said.

“As a senior, help those juniors to evacuate outside and inform the teacher”. Silvia walked past the male, followed by Iris and Lucya.

“Wait!?”.

The senior’s voice cracked, his body rattled like a newborn fawn as an oppressive pressure hit him like a relentless waterfall.

His breath stopped as three pairs of eyes glared at him. A silhouette of a coiled blue beast, a majestic wolf, and a burst of elemental power shook his consciousness.

After a passing second that felt like an hour, the pressure dwindled as he flopped to the ground, cold sweat drenching his uniform.

He stared at the trio back with awe and a bit of fright. ’Are they truly first-year students?’.

Silvia, Iris, and Lucya, who left the fourth floor, walked down the stairs to the fifth floor while briefly informing them about the eclipse.

Hearing the continuous explosions, their ears twitched, and the crisp scent of the land being destroyed tightened their hearts.

They stand before the invisible layer separating the passageway and the next floor.

Silvia’s eyes widened to see Jin’s bleeding figure. His movement was slow, and he struggled to catch up with his enemy.

“Jin!”.

The girl dashed, leaving Lucya and Iris, who barely held their reasoning from collapsing.

The Elven girl grabbed an arrow, but a hand gripped her wrist before she could enter the battle.

“Iris, I need your help,” Lucya said, her blue eyes flickering golden. “Give me one arrow infused with spirit energy!”

Iris’s eyes blinked. She stared at the princess beside her, who didn’t even bat an eye when she made a request.

However, Iris held her breath as she witnessed something peculiar happen to Lucya. The change in her pupils brought a sudden realization.

“Alright!”.
