The Mysterious Black Magician

Yman blinked his eyes. Wondering why this girl was so mean to him.

Perhaps, he did something bad to her without him knowing, or she really was just like this, or maybe he was really that bad from other people's perspective? That even someone he just met would dislike him? Frankly speaking, he also had something he dislikes.

"Such coincidence, I was also thinking that...a weak soldier who is not afraid to fight is better than a strong soldier who refused to fight." After saying this he left her standing alone. He doesn't want more unnecessary hate. It's up to her how she would be going to comprehend what he just said. What was more important for now was to kill the monster in front of them.

Because if they could not kill this monster, the group would be forced to find another route.. And the soldiers from empire said that the other route would take them another 2 days before they arrived at the academy.

The Blonde girl left standing with knitted brows. She felt awkward being left behind standing alone without doing anything. She doesn't like the way he left her. Leaving words that were like insulting her for not doing anything.

"Tsk, big words from weaklings!" She whispered. Then she took her bow. If not only because of the high offer from the principal, she would never ever come to enroll in this academy.

Not only there were a bunch of weaklings in this academy. Most of them were arrogant as well. In the end, these people would be grieving for their loss in the official stage later. And her? She could transfer to any academies whenever she wants.

Hayaaahh!!!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three consecutive swords slashing from Almina that wounded the Mustang Spider. Seeing Almina, Kiko also did his best, of course, he needed to show off his skills. He was using his groundbreaker which causes a bash effect to the enemy.

On the other hand, Mai was using hit and run tactics. Before the spear-like leg of the monster could counter her she already retreated at a safe distance from the monster attack.

Bob and Chloe were waiting for the signal of Yman if when they would use their ability. Right now, they were using normal attacks to damage the monster even for little. Chloe was using a magical pistol with magical bullets. The damage was based on the user's magical strength and mana capacity.

And these type of weapons cost lots of gold points. They were expensive. The materials used to make it was from the monsters body parts.

Yman was checking the battle from the distance. He could not go near them. He tried throwing rocks, but he stopped doing after realizing that he had zero damage no matter how strong his throw.

The monster's health points were slowly decreasing as the battle progressed. Yman noted that every time the Mustang Spider lost 10% of its health points, it changes its attack pattern.

At the start of the battle, it was using its leg only. Then after its HP reached 90% its started randomly firing its web from his mouth and butt. Its battle pattern keeps changing as its health points steadily decreasing. This was one of the reasons why its hard to deal with this type of monster.

Yman told them about this discovery of him. He needed to warn his teammates for the sudden changes in the monster attack pattern.

Right now, they needed to deal as much damage as possible.

Good thing that Almina and Kiko both have high damage in their attacks. The blonde girl sometimes fired her arrow, but not actively, Yman did not mind it. It's better to let her be than to get rejected again.

But he could guess that she was feeling awkward that she was the only person who did nothing that's why she decided to fire arrows every now and then. Although Yman was also doing nothing to damage the monster, it was only natural since he was weak, his damage was zero for god's sake. He chuckled secretly. This was one of the advantages of being a weakling. You don't need to do anything. Hehe.

But really, he doesn't like it. He wanted to get stronger too. He envied their skills. He was really hoping to learn some awesome abilities in the academy.

Heyaaaahh!!! Bob shouted while punching the Mustang Spider's butt which almost hit him with its web attack. Then it countered using its hind legs, which hit on Bob at his arms. Fortunately, he was able to cross his arms before the attack landed. Bob's legs skidded for 5 steps backward.

Looking at them from the audience's perspective, they were seemingly having an easy fight.

Even the audience far behind were saying that the monster wasn't strong; it really was just a weak monster; who said it was a strong monster? I promised I won't kick your ass; damn, I could even do better than some of them!

They were spouting any kinds of nonsense!

Kiko parried the incoming stab attack using his sword.

Then he slashed it vertically. He followed up by firing a fireball while chanted some kind of spell and was intentionally making his voice louder than needed. However, he was dealing high damage to the monster whenever his fireball landed.

Yman decided to let him be. Of course, he understands that it was because of Almina that he was showing off. Although Almina was more focused on fighting with the monster. He really admired this girl. She was undistracted in a fight. And did her best. Unlike the uncooperative blonde.

The smiling guy was still doing some funny stunts, but for some reason, the monster could not land a hit to him.

Only Almina and Kiko dealt with visible damages on the monster. Followed by Mai and Chloe. Bob had lesser damage. But he was better compared to the smiling guy who didn't even do a hit to the monster.

They surrounded the monster and attack at it at both sides which causes it to lose its focus to where he should attack first. Yman smiled. Even a fierce beast being attack aggressively like this would lose its focus.

KHAAAAAAAAA!!!

The monster cried after its health points reached 30%. Its whole body suddenly was shining in golden brilliance. He hastily ordered them to retreat. Although, not all of them followed him. A moment later, the monster health points, returned to 100%?
