"Damn, it's following us."
"Idiot! Of course. They are monsters, after all!"
"I should wake up early next year!"
The cried of every student are echoing inside the dungeon. All of them give a regret feeling of why they are now inside the dungeon being followed by the gigantic spider. The spider was probably ten times their sizes.
Florian run slower than the others, as the spider was wary about his movement. He grabs his sword handle and releases it from its scabbard. His brows formed a straight line when the blade makes a rusty sound when the sword was removed from its scabbard.
It might be a really long time for him to hear such a smooth sound of the blade when he removes it.
He never pays attention to his sword, as he knows how ugly the dull blade is. He just wishes no one will see the blade. It was his instinct, telling him he needed to release the sword. That he needs to do it or he will die in a second.
Not knowing why his body was screaming for his sword to be released, he just then followed it. Surely he won't regret doing it. Even if the sword is dull, it's still a sword... right?
He drop a quick look at his sword swinging on his side as he was running while holding it. It might change if he manages to kill the spider, giving him more strength and to make the sword change itself and think he deserves more than just a dull blade.
"Shit!" A loud cussed echoes. Then make all the students in front stops. Florian, who's in the last of the line, can see in front how all of them stop their movement.
"This is not where the entrance is!" One of the student council said, the one who's been guiding them since earlier.
"No way!"
"But this is where we go earlier!"
"This is not. I can still remember how we pass from crystalized floor."
"Just when we run all the way here for nothing?"
Florian reached the bunch of students in front of him. He stand next to Klien, "What happened? Why did they stop? The spider is just right behind us," he said while panting as he uses his energy to run.
"They said that this is not the exit."
"What?" He blinks his eyes and roams his eyes on every student. Just basing from their look, no one is making a prank. They really go to a wrong way.
He then looks behind, watching how the spider will soon reach their place.
"Klien, I need a favor from you." Klien moved his head to face him. "Ask, no, tell it to the student council to create a smoke. Smoke won't just settle inside the dungeon, but will also be the guide to where the entrance is."
"That was ridiculous. If we create smoke and we inhale it, then we die." Florian shrug his shoulder before moving his body to face the spider behind them.
"Do it," Florian commanded. Klien let out a sigh before moving his feet to reach the student council. "I'm sure they won't create a massive smoke inside."
Florian move and split his feet, holding his body on the ground. Then place his dull sword in front of him, holding it by his two hands and reading his self for any issues that may happen.
"What are you doing with a dull blade? Can it cut a spider? What are you tryin' to be? A hero?" He look at his right side where the voice came from. A tall girl, same to his height, holding an axe that was placed on her left shoulder. It even has a smug face as he felt like she sees him as a pathetic young boy who will fight a gigantic spider monster with a simple dull sword.
"I'll buy us some time. You can just run away like others and hide under someone's arm." The girl laugh at him while keeping the smug look. He let out a sigh to calm his nerves, as he can clearly see his younger sister Yoona on her.
She placed her free right hand on her lips. "Do I look like someone who needs protection?" Her eyes travels from his head up to his toes, a smug expression on her face stays as her eyes clearly say 'weak' to him.
"You should be the one to run and hide under someone's protection." She smiled at him before removing her axe from her shoulder. Dropping the axe on the ground while holding the tip to prevent it from dropping. She then moves and exercises her neck, shoulder and even her hips to prevent it from being stiff, in case the fight become so intense.
Her goal is less injury than last year.
"Hey, have you ever cut something on that blade?" She concernedly asked. Florian focuses his eyes on the spider who's just miles away from them.
"Yeah, I manage to cut some leaves." She was stunned at how serious his voice was. She can not believe it, it was like he was so proud that he cut a leave using his sword. And now he's being like a hero trying to take down the spider alone while saving the other students?
He would die at this rate.
"And I am not trying to be a hero. If they can't fight, then they are coward. If they fight, then they receive a free training. And if they die..." she's waiting for him to continue his sentence, but he did not and his eyes are so focused that he might have forgotten that he was talking earlier.
Klien made it in front to where one of the student council is. "Can we make a smoke? It might be possible to use it to find the exit, since smoke rises in the sky."
The student council look at him, he squint his eyes as he heard was Klien's voice sound commanding. Like if he did not follow him, it will cost him his life. Like he was talking to a royalty.
"We can, as long as it won't cost us to get trapped inside." The student council roams his eyes on every student who's behind him.
"Is there a dark magic user in here?" He asked. A small girl who has a tan skin and curly hair raises her hand, then followed by students who's also a dark or black mage. "A smoke user, to be exact," he said. The small girl's hand is still raised above her.
They only have one user, but that might be enough.
"Thanks. We need your help."
