Chapter 27 - Chapter 27 Dungeon Diving III

"Urgh"

"What is it?" asked Elena.

"Someone is doing it over there, don't they know what TPO is?!" Conner grumbled shaking his head to get rid of the sight of two people making out in the dungeon.

"Who was it?"

"No idea, it was just a quick glance anyway"

In the distance Shin is pinning Clara onto the tree as the two make out with each other, taking a break from all the fighting and walking.

"We...have to....make this quick" she panted looking to the back where Alaine is taking a break by herself.

"Okay"

_____________

"Oh, what now?!"

A student who is sitting under a tree looked upward and a large crack appeared on the ceiling growing larger and wider.

(Dungeon Break? But there's no sudden outburst of mana or monsters though)

"..."

As the students of class Psi began to panic again the lone student just watched the chaos unfold.

(Here we go, I guess?)

_____________

"...."

Members of the school staff arrived upon the scene where the shaking occurred and watched in horror at the sight while students from the Academy watched from their windows at the marvelous and frightening sight.

Two holes small and medium-sized that once held the gates have gone now and there in the middle where the largest gate is, is now an even larger and menacing one instead.

"Get a team ready and get the other instructors to secure the area, those people inside are in serious danger!"

A team would be quickly formed and enter the dungeon while the outside are preparing to secure the areas and investigate the matter, the search team would enter and find themselves surrounded by only weirdness.

"Where the heck is the door?" asked one calmly.

"Up there" the gate the staff entered is up high above the ground where they are.

".....That's messed up"

students' scream can be heard followed by monsters' noise.

"Alright, let's deal with the monsters first and come up with a plan!"

"Yes, ma'am"

_____________

Running through the bushes and rocks, her dark blue hair pushed flutter by the wind as she ran as fast as she could with no destination in mind but to escape from the pursuit of two lionesses.

A fireball appeared in her hand before it was thrown at one of the lionesses exploding in the face, but the grunt from the lioness confirmed its vitality and anger.

(I'm sorry~ T~T)

She then rammed into a wall made of rock and groaned in pain.

"Ugh~"

"Agh!"

She ducked down avoiding the claw slashed towards her, but the wall didn't giving a long scratch mark.

She then crawled out of the way as the lioness jumped towards her only to end up hitting the other one.

"Ugh....."

The young woman crawled her way to a small hole in the wall and pushed herself as deep as she could as the lioness soon arrived at loudly roared at her while whipping their paws inside.

"Please leave me~..." she tried to make herself smaller but found herself stuck.

T-T >~

_________

Multiple sounds of roars came from the distance as a lone student walked by searching for a fellow classmate, having stopped to consider what to do the lone student heard a scream from nearby.

Dash Lv.5 activated

Moving quickly the two lionesses came into sight as they began swiping at the rock wall fiercely breaking apart, one of them having tasted the blood of the prey.

(Two?)

Looking around just to be sure the student quickly sped up and brought out the sword covering it with mana before beginning the fight.

__________

Aerina panted as she listened to the sound of fighting outside, likely a monster nearby fighting against the two lionesses for invading the territory.

Something then hit the wall where she entered through its gap blocking the light from outside freaking her out even more.

"Oof"

(? A person?)

Aerina peers closer to the gap and notices the figure stood up and holding a sword before dashing again toward an injured lioness.

Then the next moment its face got cut deep causing blood to gush out.

The second lioness jumped at the opportunity as its comrade got struck down to attack the student.

"Watch out!" Aerina shouted, but having already known that the student had their arm out shot a fireball right into its mouth, which earned enough time to pull the sword out and move to cut the second lioness.

Its body fell down heavily on the ground before disintegrating.

"...Thank you, for the warning"

"....Ah, no problem" Aerina replied.

".....", the student then looks around them, no cores or material drop sadly.

"....."

"Are you stuck in there?"

"...Yes....", Aerina stops herself from whimpering and hearing that the student helped her get out of the gap.

Noticing the wound on her arm while pulling her the student lower the strain on her arm, gently pulling her out which took a while.

"...Thank you", noticing the gesture she thanked the student in front of her.

"No problem, by the way, do you have a way to deal with that?"

"? ....Oh, my arm", she slid up her sleeve to look at the wound then began checking her bag by her side.

"I can heal it with Aura if you want"

"Oh, no that's okay, I just have to find my wah!!", Aerina pulled out her healing stone, but accidentally dropped it, she went after it in midair her hands grabbing at it but it keeps missing each time.

"...."

The stone dropped at the same time as Aerina who loses her balance and fell forward.

"..."

"..."

"It's okay", the student consoled her while patting her shoulder.

"....Yes...."
