Immediately after realizing that they were being ambushed, the deans and instructors swiftly burst out of the carriages.
They didn't know who was targeting them but they would never allow these bastards to murder their precious students.
"Kekeke, what a bunch of clowns. Do you think two rusty diamond-ranked adventurers could protect a bunch of chicks from five hungry tigers? Delusional!" a thin middle-aged adventurer clad in a full set of emerald-tier relics exclaimed. "Wolfe, Turner, Bjorn, Hakeem, get in position. Let's end this quickly and claim our reward as early as possible!"
From the words of the thin middle-aged man, it was evident that he was the leader of this small assassination party of five.
Crushing two communication talismans, the deans ordered the instructors to work together and try to hold back two assassins while they handled one assassin each.
