But they didn't know what was causing that coldness to erupt, no one around them had the Ice Element, and not one of the Beast had it which made it even more confusing to them. So they just shrugged it off as them not being used to this kind of atmosphere as it has been so long, the same thing for the students as it was their first time experiencing something like this.
Once the Beast Wave had thinned a little, Alice took this chance to reprimand her students once again to be very careful as it was now their time to enter the Gate. The reason that Alice didn't let them fight the Beast that had escaped the Gate is that the Beast that has escaped is normally stronger than the ones who are inside as they are the sole reason why they have escaped, and it was that reason why she didn't let them fight because the risk of dying is higher. Now that there are fewer Beast, they are now given the chance to shine at this moment.
"My dear students, we are now entering inside the Gate where I'm going to let you freely fight, but every single one of you must remember that a Teacher will be with you to inspect every single one of you. And I'm going to tell you this again, just because there is someone who is watching over you guys, you can be overconfident. Never ignore the fact that there is still the chance of you dying. Now… good luck to all of you." Alice gave her final words to them which served as a warning to all of them that they needed to remember which of course stuck in some of their head and just as they were all about to leave, Mio stopped all of them.
"Before you leave… everyone needs to take this. It's a device that tracks your location so that if ever one of you manages to slip away or get separated, I will get notified." Mio said as she waved her hand and without any warning she stuck something invisible to their eye at them. However, none of them cared about it that much since it was just appropriate for them to use such devices in the first place.
Alice even thanked Mio out of the corner of her eyes to which Mio just smiled back, though her actions were small it was still enough to make her blush. Especially with Mio's current look, it was simply too much for her.
"Are you not coming with us?" Irene got a little curious after seeing Mio handing them a safety device, she was familiar with that kind of device and she knew that it also acts as a safety for the holder since it can block attacks. And because of this, she assumed that Mio would not be coming with them as her contribution to this would be giving them this.
"Do you want me to? I mean, I can still go inside, it doesn't matter to me anyway." Mio just smiled as she appeared before Irene's eyes and looked down at her because of their height difference. Mio was just too tall for a normal woman and Irene who was already considered pretty tall was short compared to the woman in front of her.
And before Irene could answer Mio's question, all of them felt their surroundings shaking. Though it was much more proper to say that the Mana around them was going berserk because of the sudden Spike of power in the air and when they looked at where it was coming from, they were all shocked to see the Boss inside of the Gate coming out. But the most shocking part was that the Boss inside was an A Tier Beast which was not normal to be inside of a B Tier Gate.
"Well, it seems that your little field trip would end here, my students," Mio said as she created a Massive Magic Circle that teleported all of the Students back inside the School Grounds it was now just too dangerous for them to be out there because she felt that the Beast in front of her was just a Mini-Boss. It wasn't even the real Boss yet.
"I'm sorry Principal Alice, but it seems like your field trip plan might need to be postponed. The Mini Boss here already wants to say something about it." Her words shocked everyone as they looked at the Beast in front of them and they realized that it was just a Mini-Boss.
"What in the actual fuck, this guy is already an A-Tier Beast, but he's just a Mini-Boss? What the fuck!?" Someone cursed as they couldn't believe such a thing, this was their first time encountering something like this. Though they have read something like this, they haven't personally seen something like it.
"Don't cower in fear… I mean, it is still dumb Beast at the end of the day. It might be A Tier Beast, but remember that this Beast just escaped its habitat, which makes it easier for us. I mean, this chameleon doesn't have anything to blend in as we are in the plains. I'm fairly sure that it's an A-Tier Beast because of its powers of camouflage, but without it, it's much easier to kill." Mio calmly explained after seeing how some of them already started to feel disheartened.
"Principal Alice, would you like me to act as a Support Unit and buff you guys while you try to fight him, or should I also join you guys?"
Mio asked a serious question as she can do both which justifies her current profession of a Demonic Dual Swordswoman, which they are also known for their Magic Proficiency, which was something they no longer have to question. But the thing that they need to question is why she uses a Scythe instead of Dual Swords since that is what she is based on.
'Is she still holding back by not using her real Weapon?' With that kind of intel, Alice decided to gamble it all and let Mio act as a Support Unit for now, but when things truly get dangerous she would let her act as one unit to help them kill the Chameleon if they struggle, or she would just let her be the lead to defeat the real Boss of this Gate.
"Since you offered it, I will take it naturally. Please Support us in this fight." If some other people saw this, they might say that they were crazy to blindly trust the woman who said to be the one to support them even though her Class was nowhere near in that kind of category.
"Alright, then please get started~"
