Chapter 297 - Collapse of the Ladros City: The Master of Traitors

"Ehe~" Yanagi laughed lightly as she shoots a powerful beam.

Sun easily avoided her attack and she quickly zoomed the distance between her and Yanagi. She then gathered her mana in her hand and waved it at her opponent.

Swoosh!

Yanagi grabbed her hand before it reached her.

"Die!"

She said as she opened her palm and a magic circle appeared on top of it.

[Desolate Wind]!

Winds gathered and formed a spinning ball on the of her palm. The winds were producing sharp winds. These winds were disintegrating any objects around it.

"Not on my watch." Teacher Sun smiled as a light blue aura appeared around her.

[Grace of Nature]!

She then pulled out her hand and used her other hand to cast a spell.

[Glorified Thunder Sparks]!

Thunder clashed against powerful winds and it caused huge explosions that shook the entire area. The ground collapse and rocks buried the bas.e.m.e.nt under the teacher’s building.

The control room was gone, no, the entire building was long gone. It got destroyed the moment they started fighting. They were fighting in the teacher’s district between the first year’s area and the main building.

The Ladro Institute was vast to the point that it could house several tens of thousands of people. The arena in the middle of the institute alone was enough of that praise. It has a maximum seating capacity of seventy thousand people.

The Institute was divided into four parts. The main building or what they called the principal’s area and then there’s first, second, and third-year area. The arena was situated in the middle of these four areas. Each area has its own representative building, training ground, and other necessities.

Also, the first, second, and third-year area was divided into different districts. Mage, Brawler, Shielder, Swordsman, Archer, etc.

The battle between Teacher Sun and Yanagi Shina could be felt in the entire first and third-year areas. The vibrations in these two places were high. Everyone in these two places could feel the heavy energy that the two were releasing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"This girl is really strong... As expected of the top 1 ranker of Ladro Institute." Teacher Sun said with a faint smile on her face while fiercely attacking Yanagi.

This girl was the only problem in her group.

All the teachers that A-rank and above left the institute to protect the city. So the remaining teachers here have a battle power of B-rank at which couldn’t post a problem to their group. Except for this girl, Yanagi Shina.

"Is this everything that you’ve got? Let me enjoy this battle!" A wide grin formed on Yanagi’s face as she tried to block Teacher Sun’s attack.

But Teacher Sun’s fist stopped in the mid-air.

She then felt pain on her side. She found that Teacher Sun kicked her.

Bang!

She flew away and crashed into the debris of rocks.

Boom!

Teacher Sun opened her palm and aimed at the debris of rocks before casting a spell.

[Lightning Ray]!

Boom!

Several powerful spells were falling like rain as it destroyed everything in the surrounding.

"Die, trash!" Rein roared as he lifted up the orb on his palm and it emitting a blinding light.

[Trinity Shock]!

[Call of Wood Lives]!

"Two tier 3...?" Franco looked at this with a serious expression. He hurriedly took out a pendant in his pocket and drip his blood on it.

Several blueish barriers formed around him. This was the artifact given to him by his master.

He had no choice but to use it as he knows that he wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed against two tier 3 spells.

Ohm!

Countless thick woods emerged from the ground and it flooded the entire around within a two hundred meters in radius. It destroyed several buildings that stood straight on the second-year area.

Flame, Wind, and Earth spun around at high speed above Rein. After a few moments, the three elements fused together creating distorted white ball energy. The white ball of energy was fluctuating wildly before it shoots an arc of white energy beam on the woods.

Boom!

"I don’t know what will happen to this place after this battle," Souta muttered while the ground kept vibrating due to the battles across the entire institute ground.

The battles kept growing and destroying the institute. The defensive mechanism was gone so he couldn’t use it to erect a barrier to protect each area of the institute.

"President Mia is holding those four on her own. Defeating one of them is enough for her." Souta said as he turned around.

He didn’t want to help her anymore as he didn’t want to deplete his reserved mana and stamina. Fighting someone at Wesler’s level would drain a quarter of his mana.

He would at least used his powers to complete his quest. Speaking of a quest, Souta looked at his system and checked the rewards that he received.

*Ding!*

[Congratulations for completing the quest "Help"!]

[You’ve received 10,000 exp, 4 skill points, and 8 free attribute points!]

Souta nodded with a satisfied expression. He had another 4 skill points that he could use. This will help him a lot.

He smiled and went deeper into the third-year area.

There’s no battle in this area. Although this place was quite far from the battles, he still could feel the vibration on the ground.

The quest that he was going to clear was [Barrier]. He needed to find the barrier device that erected the barrier around the institute. Since the traitors were preventing anyone from entering the third year area, he guessed that the device was here.

’You’re hopeless. If you train properly your [Mana Manipulation] then you would be able to easily find the device that’s providing mana in the barrier.’ Saya’s voice sounded in his mind.

"Hmm...? You can find it?" Souta asked as he glanced at the sword on his waist.

’Yes.’ Saya nodded.

"Good. Then, can you tell me where it is?" Souta smiled. He doesn’t have to search every place just to find that barrier device.

’Listen well. If you’ve trained your [Mana Manipulation] to the higher levels, you’re sensitivity to mana will increase along with it. In this case, you would be able to sense the bridge of mana that’s connected to the barrier. If you follow this bridge you would find the device or the one who created the barrier at the end of it.’

Souta listened to her explanation without interrupting her.

Saya continued, ’If you sever this bridge then the barrier wouldn’t be able to receive a mana from the device or the people that erected it. But severing this bridge is a taxing thing to do. You need a great amount of mana to do it. Your mana should be three times higher than the mana in the bridge.’

"I see." He nodded as he understood her words. "Well, severing this bridge didn’t mean that I could shatter the barrier, right?"

’Yes. The barrier would only lose its mana supply but it still have the same defense. The only problem is that it wouldn’t last long as it didn’t have mana to keep its existence.’

"Fine. I will focus on training it next time." Souta paused for a moment and asked, "So where’s the end of that bridge?"

’Just keep moving forward. It’s in that direction and you will eventually find it as long as you walked forward.’ Saya replied.

"Thanks." He grinned before he slightly bent his knees. With a "boom" he charged forward at high speed.

Swoosh!

After a few minutes, he stopped as he heard Saya’s voice in his head.

’It’s here.’

Souta saw a man with his back facing him. He landed twenty meters away from the man. At the same time, he heard Saya’s voice once again.

’That man, no, that classmate of yours have the barrier device.’

He furrowed his brows as he looked at the man’s hand and saw the barrier device. Saya was right. This man really has the barrier device. If he could break it, then he would be able to complete his quest but he doubted that this man would let him do that.

The man slowly turned around and faced him. This man had shoulder-length dark purple hair. He had sharp eyes of the same color that strike fear to anyone and he has a slim yet muscular body.

"So you came, Souta." The man said with a smile on his face.

"What are doing here, Randolf?" Souta asked in a deep tone while looking at his classmate.

"Good day, Souta. I have the feeling that you will be the one who will come here." Randolf said lightly as he glanced at the barrier around the institute. He then raised the barrier device in his hand and said, "You came here for this, right? Come and get this from me."

Really... Unbelievable. Snatching that device was worth 8 skill points. Two times than fighting Wesler.

It only means that Randolf was stronger than the top 11 ranker of the institute.
