Chapter 82

The moment Kojirou's blade attacked Regas, the three people who immediately reacted were Luisha, Sharo, and Iris.

(Iris, stay here and protect everyone!!)

(Yes, I understand. Leave it to me.)

Luisha signaled to Iris to guard the classmates, then ran out with Sharo.

She then gave a hand signal to Sharo.

(I'll take care of him.)

(Got it, I'll rescue the teacher.)

In less than a second, Luisha and the others exchanged the necessary information.

This was possible because they had decided on signals to use during combat. Although they had only used them for secret conversations during class before, they were able to use them smoothly because of their practice.

As Luisha and the others rushed at high speed, Regas faced an even greater crisis.

Kojirou aimed for Regas's neck and thrust a dagger.

No matter how much Luisha wanted to, she couldn't bring the dead back to life.

"Damn it...!"

Luisha gritted her teeth.

If she didn't reach him in time, Kojirou's blade would reach Regas first.

It was over.

Just as Luisha and Sharo thought this, help came from an unexpected place.

"Mid-level Magic Shield!!"

A magical shield appeared around Regas's neck.

The transparent blue shield stopped Kojirou's dagger with a "Clang!" and sparks flying.

"What...!?"

Kojirou was surprised.

It was no wonder, as the defensive magic had been cast by none other than Regas himself.

Not even many adventurers could cast a spell immediately after being slashed.

For a mere teacher to do so was far from ordinary.

"Who are you?"

"I'm just a normal teacher. But... my students are not normal."

Saying this, Regas smiled despite the sweat pouring down his face.

In the next instant, a terrifying chill ran down Kojirou's spine.

A sensation he had experienced many times on the battlefield... it was killing intent.

A person emitting this terrifying killing intent approached at an incredible speed.

Realizing this, Kojirou tried to break the magical shield by applying more force to his dagger.

Unable to withstand Kojirou's superhuman strength, the shield began to crack.

However, it had bought enough time for Luisha to arrive.

"The rest... is up to you."

"Got it, leave it to me."

As if in response to Regas's plea, Luisha appeared.

She touched her ear, channeling magic power into the earring hanging there, summoning the strongest weapon.

"Dragon King Sword!!"

In response to Luisha's call, a golden blade appeared in her hand.

She then launched a fatal strike at Kojirou.

Sensing the terrifying power of the attack, Kojirou interrupted his attack on Regas and tried to block Luisha's strike with his dagger.

Kojirou managed to block the attack with his dagger before Luisha's sword could strike, but the Dragon King Sword was not something that could be stopped by such a thing.

Luisha's strike shattered the dagger instantly with a "Crack!!"

"What...!!"

Shocked by the immense power, Kojirou dodged backward.

The shattered blade grazed his cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood.

Wiping the blood with his finger, Kojirou looked at Luisha with a chilling, cold gaze.

"Your ability to see through my true identity... who are you...?"

"I'm just a student. A student who is angry at you for hurting the teacher..."

Saying this, Luisha pointed the tip of the Dragon King Sword at Kojirou.

Kojirou sighed, as if saying, "This is going to be a hassle."

"I thought it would be a simple job, just guiding a kid... but there's no helping it. I'll kill you quickly and get out of here."

Saying this, he instantly moved to the spot where a long sword, about his height, was embedded in the ground. He pulled out the sword and pointed it at Luisha.
