"I don't need you to tell me twice. I've already started my endgame."
The word "endgame" instantly triggered Dignitas to grin. That word was only something she would use whenever her "killer" spell was ready.
The only person Dignitas had dubbed as the "Goddess Of Destruction" had a spell that could destroy countries. It was deadly, quiet, and most of all, destructive.
"Give me some time to cast it." Alter informed him.
"Aye, madam." Dignitas nodded, still smiling.
Without another word, he charged forward. His left hand had been damaged thanks to Dainsleif, but he still had a perfectly functioning right hand.
And thankfully, that was his dominant hand.
Dignitas instantly appeared in front of Robin, and slammed his sword against the professor's.
This prompted the latter to deflect it, and counter with a slash to his side.
He was already prepared for that, however. Death's Vision was a bit blurry due to the professor's health being normal, but Dignitas' speed was enough to react to the possibilities that could happen.
The professor's counter was parried by Dignitas, and sent the former retreating back with a quick Dimension Slash.
This one was weaker than all the others due to Dignitas' performing a hastened version of his normal move, but it was still a bigger threat than a normal slash.
Not giving Robin time to recover, he kicked off the ground and launched himself forward.
Then, he swung Dainsleif in an arc.
In Dignitas' eyes, he would have successfully landed a hit on Professor Robin.
Death's Vision clearly saw Dainsleif making contact with the professor's knee.
"Gotcha–"
Unfortunately, that didn't go out as he had foreseen.
For the first time since he arrived in this world, Death's Vision had failed.
At the very last moment, the future Dignitas had predicted shattered to pieces.
Every movement Professor Robin did disappeared from his vision.
And in it's place, a carbon copy of him manifested, before crumbling into thousands of shards.
"Ice Clone. Your Vision cannot instantly discern what is living and not."
Robin's voice came from behind him. With a swift turn, Dignitas met his blade with Dainsleif's. But being caught off guard led to his demise; he was knocked back by the force from his attack.
"Get away from him!"
The moment he was knocked back, Alter's voice echoed loudly. Turning around, Robin spotted her hand in a claw, which she then raised.
At that same time, an entire geyser of Chaos Magic rose from under him, completely engulfing his body.
"Hah! How was that?"
It was only after half a minute that the geyser began dissipating, revealing… nothing?
Where Professor Robin should've been… was empty.
"Points to you. The destructiveness of that spell was way over what a D rank should be able to do. That's enough for me. Both Dignitas Qwerdan and Alter Eri, for me…"
At the same time, the two of them felt everything fade to black.
"Have passed the test."
***
Meanwhile, on Rokas' side, a few minutes prior.
"Don't worry about me, Leader! I will hold him off by myself!"
"You sure? I can't exactly leave you alone against a professor." Dignitas questioned.
"Yes, I will be fine! Please assist the siblings while I hold off Professor Wayne."
With a hesitant expression, Dignitas nodded. "Alright. Careful."
Rokas then turned to Wayne, who was watching the whole situation with a amused expression on his face.
"Pah! I commend your bravery, Hassan, but you should never let it turn to plain stubborness. A tank knows when and when not to retreat."
"Yes, I appreciate your words. However, I have deemed this to be a situation where I can not retreat. Rather, I must not retreat."
As Rokas said this, a faint glimmer shone in his eyes. It was a shame that Dignitas was not here to see it, for only the gods themselves would know how much he would praise him.
"Hassan Family Style: Earthbreaker."
In an instant, the earth around Rokas crumbled. A small crater formed with every step he took, almost as if the entirety of his weight dug layers into the earth with every step.
Along with this, a coating of sand and dust began encircling the front of Rokas' shield.
It was only thirty seconds later that his shield was completely covered in a dense layer of sand and dirt.
Perhaps in a show of strength, Rokas slammed it down, and the dirt that had gathered was shot forward at a speed almost as fast as Dignitas' top speed.
Even so, Wayne was able to dodge away from the mass and slice it cleanly with a single sword swing.
"Nice, very nice! This is getting interesting. Let me show you a bit of my power, as well!"
Professor Wayne was different from the other teachers. In the sense that he was the most "physical" one, even when compared to Professor Robin, who was also a P.E teacher.
He was very much excessive with how he trained his students. It was said that in the span of a single two hour period, he had his students do twenty exercises back to back, and with no breaks.
"Crazy Wayne", "Slave-driver teacher", and even "Scary professor." These were all nicknames the students had placed on him.
But as far as the person was concerned, he wasn't bothered. In fact, Wayne enjoyed the names.
Because when not under the mantle of a teacher, he truly embodied those labels.
"Frenzy Style: Rampage!"
Suddenly, Wayne's sword slid off his hand, before once again reattaching in a different part of his body.
A small contraption rose from his right wrist, which was where the sword slid in.
This made it so that the Wayne's sword was now practically a part of his body. It was an extension of his right limb, making for a sharp, yet extremely long sword-claw.
"Mister Rokas! I've come to help."
Rokas turned around and saw Percivale.
"Percivale! What about your sister?"
"She'll be fine! Mister Dignitas came over to help. He told me I should help you."
Even when Rokas had convinced Dignitas that he would be fine, the latter still made sure to send support.
"Very well! I will gladly accept your assistance! Stay close to me. You can make your own attacks if you find an opening."
The ensuing situation saw Rokas raising his sword and charging towards Wayne.
The moment he reached him, Rokas swung his sword in an arc, and a wave of sand detached itself from his blade and flew forward.
Wayne was able to dodge both the initial slash. With his absurd flexibility, he was also able to bend his lower back just enough that he was under the wave.
Then, like a beast, he leapt off the ground and spun his hand. The sword-arm followed in tow, clashing against Rokas' shield.
Rokas grunted. The force from his attack was enough to push him a few meters backward, despite his armor being very heavy.
"Hahah! Can you handle this?" Seemingly having not lost any momentum, Wayne jumped again, planning to continue his assault.
"Oh no, you don't!"
But he was soon stopped by Percivale. In an instant, Wayne felt his body getting heavier.
With a loud thud, he was sent crashing downwards.
"Now, Mister Rokas!"
Percivale's gravity manipulation had done its work. Rokas took advantage of Wayne's dumbfounded expression and executed a shield charge.
"Woops. Looks like the gravity's shifted! I needa put some force into my steps."
Alas, before Rokas even reached him, Wayne had already resisted the full weight pushing down on him and was now on his feet.
"Wha–? That had the combined weight of four trucks! How?"
"Do not worry, Percivale! We will overpower him with our attacks. Come!"
Somehow not disheartened in the least, Rokas urged Percivale to combo his moves with his.
"R-right!" The latter nodded.
In an instant, both of them appeared at Wayne's sides. On the left side, Rokas had prepared a devastating addition of Earth mana to his sword while he was charging.
On the right side, Percivale had gathered tens of small boulders from around the area and lifted them with his magic.
Then, aiming at Wayne, he ordered the rocks to surround him in a coffin. And surround them they did. The rocks crashed against each other, forming a "cocoon" of dirt and dust.
Meanwhile, Rokas was ready to follow along.
"This will be our combo, Percivale! Please watch, Professor Wayne."
Abruptly stopping, Rokas raised his sword with both hands. Then, he chanted.
"Hassan/Eri Sequence: Burial Tear."
In an instant, a force was brought down upon the boulder coffin.
The pure impact of the slash caused the coffin to crumble into pieces. Pieces of rock flew off, making it rain pebbles.
"Got him!"
"Not quite! Good job on the aesthetics, but you gotta make sure your opponent is actually inside."
Suddenly, both of them saw Wayne standing behind them.
"Frenzy Style: Thousand Cuts."
It was finished. A seemingly infinite number of slashes assaulted the two from every side.
Until eventually, they fainted.
"Huh. Did I go too hard? Well, pretty sure they were taught Mana Shield, so they'll be fine."
"Anyway. Robin told me it's mandatory to say this. For me… Rokas Hassan and Percivale Eri…"
"Passed the test."
