Chapter 384 Surpassing The Teachers

Chapter 384 Surpassing The Teachers

??Simyon and Liam had followed the orders from Amir. They ran out from the courtyard and escaped with the other students. After a while, they had met up with the rest of the colored headband students and the teachers that were currently present.

They were being protected by them all, but mainly Gunther, in all of this.

"Hey, I can't find Raze anywhere or Safa, did the two of them stay behind?" Simyon asked.

"You know, you should use both your eyeballs better, since you have two, you should have better eyesight than me," Liam replied back.

A beast had broken through, and a crowd of students were attempting to stop it. Liam jumped out of the way, and Simyon had decided to brace himself. When the beast got close, it lifted both its front legs up, trying to pierce Simyon's body. He held onto the claws tight, and only scooted across the ground about an inch before it stopped.

"Good job, meat shield!" Liam was now above the spider, and with his wooden sword, he stabbed it down right between its head and neck, killing the beast and causing it to fall to the ground.

The students were impressed by what they had just seen. They didn't know much about the old Red Headband group. Most of them were new students who only had an idea of what students could do based on the assessment they had taken to get in. Yet, somehow, these two were fearless and were able to take out the beast with relative ease. They wondered if they could be the same as them in two months or so.

"So did you see them, or are you just going to give me more excuses as to why you didn't see them," Simyon shouted back.

The two started to then bicker in front of all of the students, while the teachers continued to fight. Their amazement with them was starting to fade as they heard crude insults hurled at each other.

"You guys didn't pay any attention, did you?" Ricktor said, interrupting the two of them. "Him and his sister stayed behind. It seems there was something that they wanted to watch."

The two looked at each other, and now were wondering what they should do. Leave Raze behind, or go off and help him. They had quickly noticed that Dame wasn't with them either.

"Hey, a little help would be appreciated here!" Tinson shouted.

Him and his two friends had decided to join the front lines. They had pushed forward in front of the other students and were battling the beasts head-on. They had already suffered a few hits and cuts here, but they were able to face at least one beast each, on their own, and were successfully able to beat them.

"Don't you think those guys are showing us up a little too much?" Ricktor smiled and looked toward Mada.

His eyes were focused on one person, and one only: his brother, who was in the middle, slaughtering everything he could. If it wasn't for him, maybe the beasts would have even overwhelmed the teachers and students.

"I need to show him, show him that I can do the same!" Mada shouted as he pushed through, knocking some of the students from behind.

Ricktor, leaving a sigh, had decided to go behind him and rushed forward as well. Meanwhile, Simyon and Liam had decided to help the other old Red Headband group. All of them rushed forward and attacked the beasts they were able to slaughter left and right. It was to the point where the students were unsure what they could even do.

The group was covering each other naturally as they attacked what they could see closest to them. At one point, it looked like Violet, one of the old females from the Red Headband group, was about to get bitten, so Ricktor had kicked Simyon from behind. His body and arm flung into the beast's mouth, but it was unable to bite down. Simyon wasn't so happy with how his body was being used but was happy that he was able to protect someone.

Eventually, the old group of Red Headbands, as they pushed the wave of beasts coming back towards them, had gone beyond the teachers apart from Gunther, and now, staring from behind, they were able to witness everything.

"All of them are from the Red Headband group, the old one," the Yellow Headband instructor stated next to his colleague.

"They're killing the beasts... what stage are they at, how can they do something so easily and push them back? Compared to the rest, the old Red Headband group is far too advanced."

Of course, the instructors could think of a reason why this was possible. All of the instructors knew what had gone on with the old students from before.

"I think there might be something else as well... I'm quite sure about it," the instructor gulped as he saw Ricktor tear apart one of the limbs from the beast and hurl it toward another, piercing its body with one of its own arms.

"I think these students, it's possible that they might be stronger than all of the instructors."

Such a thing would have been laughed off by them in the past. It wasn't that this never happened in the past before. It was a quite regular occurrence towards the end of the second year, but for it to happen so early on, and for there to be so many of them.

It was a frightening thought that the ones under them were more powerful.

The portal had been discovered, where the break was coming from and the beasts that were coming out, which meant there was only one thing left to do.

Raze, along with Dame, had managed to reach the second floor, but they had entered from the other side of the building and were hiding behind a partially torn wall watching everything.

Safa was still with them as well. She would have refused to leave him alone, and when time was of importance, it was better than trying to argue with her.

"He's going to enter the portal," Dame said. "The way to stop a portal break is just like any other dimension. One needs to head inside and defeat the dimension boss.

"Or they can wait for it to come out, but who knows how long that would take at this rate. Judging by the enemies, one can try and judge the level of a portal break, but the only sure way is to enter the portal.

"It's quite possible that the beasts that are breaking out first are just all the low-ranking beasts coming out from the portal. Which is quite the risky move, but I guess he has no choice if he wants to save the academy."

In a way, as Dame said those words out loud, he thought Raze was quite a genius. He was putting more damage on the academy, and had gotten them out of their troubling situation with one solution.

Watching from afar, it was exactly as Dame thought though. Murkel had entered the portal. His body disappeared, and the moment it did, the beasts, they were no longer coming out from the portal.

"That's strange he only just entered? There would still be beasts coming out. I mean it's a whole other world; it's not like he can protect the portal entrance... can he?" Dame started to wonder, and was imagining his father in the same position.

If it was his father it would be possible, and that's when, after a minute had passed, the portal flickered once more, and a figure was seen coming out. It was the Principal.

As soon as Murkel exited from the portal, it had closed behind him.

"He managed to clear the portal! And he did it so fast! Wait how fast was this, how could he... did he just destroy the other world!" Dame could only imagine what had occurred.

It was hard to find a dimension boss, and then to defeat one while everyone was attacking you. It was hard to comprehend just how much power the Principal had.

After exiting out of the portal, Murkel turned his head, not to face Amir, not to look out at the courtyard, but was staring directly across, right where they were hiding behind the wall.

"It appears we have some spies with us," Murkel smiled.
