Professor Read and Professor Tristan continued to swing their wands at the Astraldi creatures. Their expressions stiffened. Even dealing with invisible monsters had a hard time. Professor Read was starting to run out of breath. The arm muscles are getting cramped. Didn't expect them to have a hard time dealing with Astraldi. Especially Professor Tristan who had attacked them earlier. A growl from the jaws of his teeth trembled. The stick he was holding was gripped so tightly. A gust of wind blew from the right. Flying her hair.
"Damn it! At this rate, we won't be able to stop Astraldi!" complained Professor Read.
Meanwhile, an explosion occurred in the east. I saw Professor Watts slumped to the ground. With wounds all over his body. Tiecia, who saw it, couldn't contain her fear. Another Astraldi appeared from the side. The stomping of his feet was felt. Professor Watts was seriously injured. His teacher's uniform was covered in blood. His mouth fell open from Astraldi's brutal attack. Tiecia hurriedly checked her condition. He seemed to be still breathing even though he was weak. The blonde haired girl carried it carefully. Embracing her so that she can support her shrinking body. Even so, Tiecia didn't want herself to be called a burden. He found Andrew still not awake.
"Professor Read! Get them out of here!"
"Then what about you?"
"You know what I have to do, don't you?"
However, Professor Tristan's words were heeded. He took out a necklace from his neck. A white whistle coated in magic. Its shape resembles a giant bull. But the color has been modified in the form of red. He took a deep breath. Blow it with all your might. Out came the army of golems loyal to him.
One by one, the golems launched a heavy blow at Astraldi. One of them bounced off. Destroy the building close to the corridor. The rocks cracked and almost hit the students. However, the teachers protected them with dome-shaped wands. Form a transparent strong barricade. They could only see the cracks between the rubble. The battle of the Astraldi creatures with Professor Read and Professor Tristan. The two teachers seemed to have a hard time dealing with them. Moreover, one of the teachers was lying in the garden with a student named Tiecia.
"Alright Professor Read! You won!" Professor Tristan said loudly.
"Huh?"
"Help me ok? I need you to defeat that creature. So …"
Professor Read's lips smiled. He waited for the right moment to help Professor Tristan. Can't beat them alone.
~o0o~
Professor Tristan took a deep breath. He ran to the left. He screamed as loud as he could while raising his arms. Astradi approached Professor Tristan. Meanwhile the golems were ordered by Professor Read to help him, by stalling for as much time as they could. Astradi is hit. His face was seriously injured. He stroked the right cheek. The invisible creature launched a counterattack. On the other hand, Professor Tristan was planning to set up a trap that was just right for them. The left palm holds a powder in the bottle. The powder is gray in color. It had been a long time not using an object against that creature.
Principal Clay looked at Professor Tristan. Listen to every word he says. There was no rebuttal whatsoever from his mouth. It was fortunate that Professor Tristan was willing to tell his story.
It seems, old wounds are still imprinting on him. He held both palms. Trying to contain the anger he felt in the incident. Take a deep breath. Released slowly. Thinking there is no point in hiding the truth in front of the teachers. When Professor Watts had told him about Astraldi, then Professor Tristan would explain the incident. Just as it made a sound, the window was tightly closed along with soundproofing magic. It is confidential and no one dares to divulge it
"Thank you Principal Clay. I will tell you about the Edgeville Incident that I experienced before teaching here. I hope this information is useful if Astraldi is targeting the students and teachers here."
"Just say it Professor Tristan."
"Astraldi is a real invisible being. That thing is twice as tall as a corridor post."
"In other words, the same size as my golem?" asked Professor Read.
Professor Tristan nodded slowly. His wand was raised and activated room magic. A circle of magic runes appeared lightly. After that, he distributed a copy of the booklet to each of the existing teachers. Including Principal Clay. When the waiter distributed the book, the teachers were made to take a breath. Indirectly, he was flabbergasted by the writing containing Astraldi. As well as a sketch of an experiment combining monsters with humans carried out by Diligent Prince Waldwin. Until the knights were frightened when they fled from Aeckland Stronghold. Principal Clay took a deeper look at the sketch. His eyes were holding a piece of paper.
"When I was young, this Aeckland Stronghold really wasn't worthy of being the main base or stopover for Diligent Prince Waldwin. Unknown Origin actually holds a mystery. For people in general, that place is a hell of a place. Especially the criminals. They will be faced with two choices. Died horribly. Or die heroically. Both options are equally painful, namely seeking death. If it is heroic, each Kingdom will consider removing all accusations and sins committed in the past as long as the victim is willing to forgive. But …"
Professor Tristan turned to the other teachers. Including Principal Clay. His right palm gripped. Take a deep breath trying to calm yourself down.
"Not the case with Astradi. Those creatures are actually sorcerers who were banished by Diligent Prince Waldwin."
Some of the teachers rose from their seats. They didn't seem wrong with the explanation just now. Some of the teachers are indebted to Diligent Prince Waldwin for the Daponia Academy School. Principal Clay was silent, watching the pages of a book written based on Professor Tristan's experiences. Starting from the characteristics, the appearance of the monster until it was in the Daponia Academy School.
"How could that be? If the news spreads, then what will happen to the Kingdom?" demanded one of the teachers.
"Of course the people… will stage a coup. That's the last option."
"That's why you don't want to talk about it?" asked Principal Clay.
"That's not all I'm reluctant to talk about," Professor Tristan whispered.
The two parties looked at each other. Professor Tristan imagined himself in the dungeon, Edgeville Prison. He was young at that time and had the status of a sorcerer with minimal experience. At that time, he got a share in the form of capturing monsters around Aeckland Stronghold. Every time he catches, Professor Tristan claims to get a significant level increase. Until his sorcery reaches the master level. However, the more he felt the magical energy flowing too fast, the more intense the mental pressure and effects he experienced. Until he had difficulty getting up if not helped by others.
