Chapter 70 - Chapter 69 Body Bag

Rolling on the ground, Conner came to a halt as he landed inside the building.

(A drone huh?)

Taking out his daggers he move swiftly appearing besides it and cut through its metal plate.

Finishing off the drone in a short moment.

(Next time I should use a short sword)

Thinking so he went out the way he came from again.

Outside are numerous drones going around campus attacking students and staffs with electric blast or ramming into them.

But how did this happen?

Because someone try to track down the location of the hackers so the hackers decided to sent a warning to them, which is by hacking every computer in the Academy and sent out all their drones!

It happened over night of course as a surprise from the hackers.

Once the door opened everyone is left running for their lives once they entered their classrooms.

Any that are damaged would self destruct immediately scaring many people and hurt some who are in the way.

Ice sprout forth from the ground and out came out a lance made of ice stabbing the drones or ramming into them.

Snow Frostfield move on to her next target blasting more of them from the sky, while the ones at ground level are dealt with by her snowmen army.

Alaine Gear goes around aiming at the drones and arc of lightning flies towards them in an instant before they explode, her powerful spell All Magic works wondrously against these drones.

Elena O'Hara shoots down many of them with her bow and arrows while stabbing any that came close to her, moving from one place to another while hiding her presence.

Clara stood her ground with some vanguard to attract the drones, her shield protecting her and the others behind from their attack.

Alexia summoned every beasts she contracted with letting them run wild while Tiger stays by her side to take care of any that comes her way.

Laura and Aerina stood side by side taking down the drones at best as they can while protecting one another from the ones that got near them.

"....."

A drone crashed through the window of the library and broken some of the furnitures inside before self-destruct.

"...."

(So this is what I get for coming earlier to finish reading a magic book)

"?"

Target Detected

".....Don't"

Electric Discharge

____________

"Ah!"

"Aerina!", Laura caught Aerina's body from the back and destroy the one that hurt her friend by sending a rock towards it.

"Hold on, I'm going to heal you"

"Watch out!"

A dozen drone came towards them, sparks flying as they began to the self destruct sequence.

Spell: Barrier

The magic barrier appears taking the blunt of the damage as the drones exploded in a chain reaction.

"Now, let's see to your wounds"

Spell (Intermediate): Quick Heal

Dozens upon dozens of drones sounded in the distance alarming everyone of the new approaching danger.

"Gah! Why are there so many!?"

"Because someone are sending them through a portal?"

"Huh? Who said that?"

"Up here" said Callum, stuck on the tree waving at a classmate.

"Ey, yo, hold up, I'm getting you down"

"Thanks"

_____________

2 hours later.

Everyone breathed heavily as they expended their energy to fight off the waves of drones attacking them, but despite the number of them taken down more seems to come back.

Dragging an inured person to one of the shelters, Callum checks everyone inside and the field which have only one person less fighting the drones off, the snowmen are now destroyed leaving pile of snow on the ground.

(Seriously?)

Running towards the person alone on the battlefield, Callum smack the incoming drones with his bat before reaching her.

"Thanks"

"You should leave"

"No"

"Everybody's safe, its just you left"

"Great"

"Let's go"

"You seem to misunderstood me, I'm going to continue fighting"

"Why? You won't be able to handle the next wave"

"It's because I'm only one who can"

Shin's, Conner's and Irviel's group has already left the area, following a breakthrough from the Software Club as they found traces from multiple locations and head out to take care of it, which was 1.30 hours ago.

By then most of the students from the lower classes are already out of commission due to exhaustion, injuries or taking care of other students.

Due to the sheer difference in power and size of each classes, Omega, Psi (except Callum), Chi, Phi, Upsilon and up to Eta are taken out, before the upper classes began losing their momentum due to sheer exhaustion by the seemingly unlimited number of drones coming at them.

"You're not making this easy"

"Then leave"

"Can't do that when there's a person here"

"I don't care, leave or fight"

"Oh, man..."

Callum took out something and began flapping it in the air while Snow look at the sky where more drones are coming, a new wave of them at that.

Then everything turns to black.

___________

Laura watch as the oddest thing take place in front of her eyes in the distance, the same way can be said to everyone watching two people standing in the battlefield can all agree on.

Callum took out a large piece of fabric, flap it in the air before hanging it from a stick that came out of his magic pouch. Then like a seasoned fish catcher, he swung the long bag over Snow's body from the top of her head to the feet, swooped in to knock her off balance, placed her on the shoulder, and ran away from the drones.

"Oh, ####!"

Someone cursed upon seeing the comedic scene.

They could also hear screams and shouts from inside the bag as Callum ran towards the building.

And with a throw he sent the body bag containing Snow toward a window.

"!!!!!"

Everyone gasped or shouted in shock.

Then the next second the window is broken as something flew into it, and the next the body bag flew in as well.

"Oh~!"

The bystanders gasped in shock and awe.

"....?" Laura doesn't know how to react to this shocking scene.

___________

(That was awesome) thought Callum as he brushed off the glass shards and took out his wand to summon a wall of earth, just as the drones came close to it to collide in a second.

"Let me go!" shouted Snow.

"Yeah. No"

"Don't you know who I am?!"

"Someone who willingly risks her life just to buy time for three groups of people who are taking too long"

".....Let me go this instant!"

"It isn't even tied, just wiggle out with your feet first"

"I will smite you once I get out of here!"

"Ooooh, looking forward to it"

Callum left the room after checking the surroundings, leaving Snow to wiggle herself out of the body bag.
