Chapter 73 - Chapter 72 Infirmary

(Dammit, no one here are strong!) Kyle thought as he look around the field while avoiding a blast of energy shot out of the chest of the giant robot.

It burnt the grass field while stomping towards the nearest shelter which began evacuating the people inside in a hurry.

Some got burned while avoiding it and suffered first and second degree burns.

"Watch out, another beam coming" said Callum through his megaphone, carrying an injured person over his shoulder, his warning is directed toward the next 6 targets.

"?!"

They scatter immediately upon hearing this just as the beam came in contact with where they were before.

Callum heads off again after putting the injured person to a healer.

Ice spikes appeared all over the robot's body and a woman's shout sounded suddenly.

"Keep distracting it, I will deal the finishing blow!" shouted Snow as she traps its leg while another spell is slowly forming.

"Let's do this! Vanguards!" someone shouted earning a shout from the vanguard in the area.

They quickly surround the robot and began attacking to draw its attention, swords, magic, arrows, stones are hurled at it dealing little damage to the thing.

"Its moving again, distance yourselves"

Hearing his warning everyone leaps away as its foot stomps on the ground causing a tremor.

"Why aren't you fighting?!" shouted Kyle watching Callum going around shouting all sorts of warnings to others but never fight.

"I'm supporting"

"Get into the fight!"

"No, thanks"

"Everyone is fighting, aren't you going to do the same?!"

"Yeah, no, I'm good"

"Watch out for the arm"

The shockwave cause many students to fly in the air, knock back before falling onto the ground.

"Wait. I need to go help them"

"Dammit" Kyle muttered while swinging his sword sending a sword slash flying to the robot.

Which does stops it moving for a moment before resuming.

(Not enough power?! Just how much damage can it tank?!)

He look at Serina who ran out of arrow and began searching for any projectiles to use on the robot.

(Should I give her a sword?)

The thought went through his mind a for moment but he shook his head.

(No, she shouldn't use it)

Then the only option is to use his ultimate skill.

(But I need a way to gather their attention on me)

Kyle then look at the giant robot, then at the core.

"...."

(Guess, its the only way)

Looking at Callum, Kyle judge the distance between him, the beam and everyone else before running.

"Another beam is coming"

(Great, that's the right moment)

Taking advantage of everyone moving out of the way, Kyle soon reach the area that the beam would pass by if the robot move its body.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" shouted Callum, attracting everyone's attention.

"Kyle!!" Serina's shout can be heard following the megaphone as everyone turns to look at him.

Many eyes are gathering on you

(Good)

Many expectations are being made about you

(Keep going)

Some are good and some exceed your capability

(Even better)

Feeling the gaze around his growing more and more stronger despite not seeing them with his eyes, Kyle can tell that with this many on him, he would have enough strength to defeat it.

Ultimate Skill

The One

Expectations are put on you and you must meet theirs, with those expectations turn it into the power to make that assumption into reality

Power overflow his body, beyond what it is capable of but it did not break down, but instead growing more stronger.

The energy gathered around its chest as the robot began charging up.

Mana began to burst out of his body making its presence clear.

Aura began to seep out and cover his body as it make him stronger and faster.

Stats increased by 20

(Great, this should be good)

Kyle then leapt off towards the beam as it closed in on him.

"!!!!"

Everyone watches in amazement as Kyle braves the beam with newfound power.

"And, what happened next?" asked Shin.

"The robot got destroyed after a few bouts and Kyle Ryder emerged victorious"

"Wow, I wish I could have seen that"

"Too bad you're too tired to see it" said Alaine.

"Well, I wouldn't if someone would have helped me"

"You're just finding an excuse for 'that'!"

"...No"

"I knew it!"

Raven watches as the two lovebirds argue with one another and slowly leave feeling that if she stays any longer she might be seeing things that she shouldn't be seeing.

Pushing the curtain away, the two's voices can be heard outside but once it closed it became silent, the word Occupied glowed on the curtain.

Looking out at the students and staffs all injured taking the entire infirmary brought much sadness and worry to her, both for the students and their family.

 

The sound of curtain being drawn caught her attention as she turns to look at who it is.

"Oh, its you"

"Hello, principal"

"What happened to your face?" she noticed traces of healing magic on his cheek.

"Kyle Ryder punched me"

"That's interesting"

"Yeah, he didn't like how I was in the back most of the time so I guess I should have seen it coming"

"I did hear something about that, what was that about?"

"Everyone was doing great so I thought I should help by supporting from the back, there's already enough vanguard and magician"

"By shouting encouraging words?"

"Yes"

"You really need to learn to join in even when you don't think much about it"

"I guess...So what are you doing here principal?"

"Checking on someone"

(Who's probably going to give the nurse a troublesome work after this)
