Chapter 38: The Moonlight is Beautiful

Training ended, Leo wiped the sweat off his body.

“If only there was a river, I could take a nice bath.”

Unfortunately, he couldn’t use water magic; otherwise, he could wash himself off.

“I’ll help you.”

A small water vortex appeared around Michelle, and with a gentle gesture of her little hand, the vortex enveloped Leo completely.

“It’s still warm, so comfortable.”

It felt like soaking in a hot spring, his whole body was purified.

“With both water and fire magic, you can heat the water to take a hot bath.”

Michelle waved her hand lightly, and the water vortex around Leo immediately flew away and landed in front of them.

Not a single drop of water was left on him, and even his clothes were very dry.

What convenient magic!

“It can only clean the body; if you want to soak, you still need to go to the bathhouse. Otherwise, washing for too long is not good for your health.”

As she spoke, Michelle used the same method to wash her own body, the water vortex completely wrapping her without leaving a single gap.

In an instant, the water vortex flew away, and Michelle became refreshed and tidy.

Leo stared blankly at the puddle of water left after she finished washing.

Michelle’s little face suddenly turned bright red; she snapped her fingers, and the water on the ground immediately evaporated clean, then she left without looking back.

Leo’s heart was a bit stirred; the air seemed to still carry the faint fragrance of the girl.

He shook his head; if this continued, he would become a pervert.

Tonight, he would meditate all night.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Suddenly, roars came from the darkness in the distance, and the camp became noisy.

Everyone raised their torches, the firelight illuminating the camp in a bright red.

“Monsters are attacking! Stay alert!”

People were coming and going, extremely noisy and chaotic.

“Don’t panic, follow my commands!”

Renina appeared immediately, directing everyone.

“There’s only a small group of monsters; those selected come with me, the rest stay put and don’t wander around.”

The camp was protected by magic circles, and very few monsters could break through the defenses to get in.

“The monsters are attacking from three directions, so we will form three small teams, led by me, Michelle, and Corik.”

Renina quickly organized a portion of people to block the monsters.

“I oppose this; I also want to lead a team.” Krista said.

“Fine, you lead a portion of people to stay in the camp to prevent monsters from breaking through from other directions.”

Renina didn’t have time to waste with her and immediately assigned her a mission, which Krista accepted gladly.

The team set off immediately.

Leo jumped onto a large tree, closed his eyes, and his sword heart illuminated the entire camp, with everything around him, including the movements of the monsters and the actions of the people, visible to him.

“Something feels off; there are too few monsters from the three directions. Why aren’t they concentrating their attack?”

As if to respond to Leo’s doubts, after the three teams dealt with the monsters, another batch of monsters rushed in.

The previous ones could only be considered cannon fodder; this batch was stronger and in greater numbers, surrounding the incoming teams.

Renina swung her sword, clearing the monsters in front of her.

“President, there are too many; should we call for reinforcements?”

Everyone except Renina was struggling to cope.

She was leading a ragtag team, and the main force needed to conserve energy for tomorrow’s big battle, with only a few elite members helping out.

Renina was a bit worried; the monsters were well-prepared this time, and she was struggling here, not knowing how the other directions were faring.

“Everyone, fall back.”

Renina unleashed a powerful spell, flames sweeping across the ground, illuminating the night and instantly killing the approaching monsters.

It seemed like she was being treated specially; the monsters were exceptionally fierce, attacking continuously. Although she was unaffected, the people behind her couldn’t withstand it.

“I should contribute a bit too.”

Leo took out a bow and arrow, a regular wooden hunting bow, and casually broke a branch to use as an arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew like a beam of light, piercing through the trees and accurately hitting the monster’s vital point.

Most of the monsters were D-class; hitting their weak points, they were killed in one shot by Leo.

“Who?”

Renina immediately became alert.

One by one, the monsters fell, and some people were still unclear about what was happening, only seeing the monsters dying on their own.

“It came from the direction of the camp.”

Renina observed the corpses left by the monsters, her expression turning astonished, “It’s actually a branch.”

There were many people in the academy skilled in archery, but she had never heard of anyone being able to kill monsters with a branch.

“It seems this new batch of students is not simple; there are hidden strong ones. I hope I don’t catch them.”

Renina’s lips curled slightly; she hadn’t heard of such a person among the old students, so it was likely a new student.

“This guy is a bit dangerous; I should go help Michelle.”

Leo almost broke into a cold sweat and immediately moved his position.

Although Michelle was struggling a bit, under her organization, the team was cooperating in an orderly manner. With her supportive magic, everyone’s strength increased slightly, and the monsters couldn’t find any openings to attack.

“It seems things are going smoothly here too.”

Leo only dealt with a few stronger monsters before continuing to move. The range of his sword heart also changed, but the next scene left him stunned.

In his line of sight, a large group of monsters gathered, especially the leader, whose aura faintly reached A-class.

And this direction was the one everyone had overlooked.

“Monsters are surprisingly clever; the previous ones were actually bait.” Leo was a bit surprised.

“After all, they are just monsters; no matter how clever, there are things they can’t consider. If they attack in the dead of night, it would definitely have a surprising effect; perhaps there would really be student casualties.”

Now all the students were awake, and even the S-class teachers were present. Even if a young dragon attacked, it would return empty-handed.

Leo looked up at the moon in the sky, a smile on his face, “The moonlight is beautiful, perfect for dancing!”

He took out the new sword he had forged not long ago and transformed into a shadow, rushing towards the group of monsters.

One person, one sword, facing hundreds of monsters!

With his reconnaissance skill, the strength of the monsters ahead was revealed to him; D-class made up the majority, with a few C-class.

With his current reconnaissance skill, he couldn’t see through monsters above C-class, but he could sense their approximate strength through their aura. There were very few B-class monsters, and the leader was a gray bear, engulfed in pitch-black flames, an A-class monster.

Behind it, Leo sensed an even more terrifying aura; it didn’t exceed S-class but was very close, almost mistaking it for a young dragon that was the target of the hunt.

Given the situation, that monster behind wouldn’t move easily. If the gray bear successfully broke into the camp, it would probably be time for that monster to strike, causing heavy damage to the camp.

If he could slay the gray bear, the monsters behind would retreat.

This was just his guess, but the possibility was high; otherwise, he wouldn’t have charged in alone.

He wouldn’t be a hero; if he could block, he would, and if he couldn’t, he would leave it to others.

The fighting factor within Leo awakened, and his blood was boiling.

“Enhance!”

He leaped into the air, the ground cracking, his body shooting out like a cannonball.

His current strength was much greater than when he had slain the rock-eating monster.

“Heartflow – Dark Moon Slash!”

Under the brilliant moonlight, the silver slash rippled like water waves, and in front of him, besides the gray bear, there were a few B-class monsters; all the others were dead.

“Ultimate – Heart Slash!”

Leo held the sword with both hands, his eyes radiating a cold killing intent.

“Roar!”

The gray bear, provoked, let out a deafening roar, its magical power surging violently, and its massive paw, engulfed in pitch-black flames, swung towards him.

Leo’s body moved like a feather, gracefully dodging the gray bear’s attack, then took the opportunity to strike down.

Boom!

The earth shook, and a large pit was smashed into the ground, cracks spreading like a spider web in all directions.

Immediately after, a massive head flew out, a fountain of blood spraying, and the headless corpse fell heavily.
