Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

She didn't want to act, but after seeing the potential of this group, she decided not to lose them. the academy was facing hard times right now, and fresh blood, unique and rare just like them, would be a great help she could offer to the academy she adored.

But she didn't declare his decision to Arthur, just taking out the token and giving it to him, then turned around on her heels and moved fast, disappearing from the place, or just from the senses of Arthur.

Arthur didn't question her retreat, as her tone and attitude gave him the false impression of her cowardance.

"Listen up," after the passage of a few minutes, and storing the token away, he yelled up to the group, who were now fervently attacking the monster, staining the ground with its blood, in a massive amount that was enough to make a pond. "Don't kill him," he added, shortly and vaguely, without explaining further.

This monster had strong offense, defense and thick life, so its vital organ was optimum nearly to all them here, even to Ouly.

If they killed it, then he had to make a choice between extracting its vital organ, giving it to one of them, and losing this person due this in the upcoming battle, or to let the organ die, and lose the opportunity.

So, he had to interfere, when he felt the demon wasn't able to move, escape, or cause any trouble in the upcoming battle. Just as they stopped, and before turning to ask in confusion about the reasons of his sudden, weird call, Arthur's voice came again hastily as he ordered:

"There are five more demons coming, including one that seemed stronger than this."

Their faces changed, not out of fear or despair, but of expectation and anticipation. They weren't afraid from the incoming demons, like what Emy thought, making her shake her head in pity for their narrow mind and suicidal spirit.

The forest around them trembled violently, even the ground started to rise up and down slightly, visible to their eyes. The demons were coming near, and Arthur didn't need to orchestrate this attack, as Madly took the full responsibility of this.

"Tally, you will lead the defense, welcoming each monster by your shield, Ouly, you will support him on the sides, make sure no monster would attack him while facing another. Ron, your sword has some numbing effect, so you can use it as well if Tally and Ouly were in danger. Lily, keep your arrows ready, and try to mislead the demons if they came as one group."

Her orders were right on the spot, not missing a single arrangement, and above all, she was putting the possibility of anything going wrong ahead of her all the time. Arthur felt satisfied, as the two mind freaks here belonged to him.

As for the last foolproof measure, it was Arthur. Everyone knew that, and as if they had tacit understanding, like small kids trying to impress their father, they didn't speak about it out loud.

For the nearby, ready to interfere at any moment, Emy, she felt all this was pointless. She never saw such an arrangement in battle before, as in the academy everyone has to fight for himself, even if they were in teams.

Watching silently from near, hiding her aura and presence like always, the demons started to show up, one after another, with their big bodies and huge aura, even birds from anywhere near here started to fly away, escaping this fearful feeling.

The first to arrive were two huge monsters, but for the group they were more punching bags for them. the monsters weren't strolling slowly like the one from before, as they were called here using a sort of distress signal, so their momentum and attitude were already hostile and violent from the start.

One from the north east, the other was just following behind from the north west. Just appearing in the eyesight range of the team, Lily started flinging arrows towards the northwest monster to delay it, and the strategy succeeded.

Tally was the first to meet the two, as Madly designated, as his shield welcomed the northeast monster, shaking it, rendering it motionless in its place, while he retreated for four steps only this time.

Supported by his previous experience, he managed to stand his ground easier and smoother than before. Once he stabilized his body, his feet didn't stop, as he darted towards the next monster, lured by lily's arrows, while the one he just attacked was now being tortured by Edwar and Drago.

The next monster's fate wasn't different from the first, as Tally hurried to stand in its way, receiving all its anger and repaying the favor back to it. The two monsters stood like punching bags, waiting to be slaughtered like cattle, as the team started their harassment over them.

Emy watching this amazing result was speechless, as she didn't expect them to handle two monsters at the same time just easily like that. however, she didn't feel any change in her final estimation, as the team had missed one important fact, a life and death caliber fact.

Arthur also knew this slight missed realization that his team didn't think of, but he did. He was seeing the great team work, the amazing synchronicity between his team, and the effective rapid adaptation to the newly discovered powers, and so he decided to give them their moments, as these moments would stick always in their minds, their entire life.

So, when five more monsters appeared from far, and he sensed them, he didn't wait until they reached here, as he took on his shoulder the responsibility of guarding them, kicked the ground and flew rapidly towards the distance.

His move came unnoticed by his team, who were immersing themselves in attacking the two monsters fervently, without a single spare second to check over their leader.

But, this move didn't pass unnoticed from the keen eyes of Emy, who squinted her eyes as she watched the pattern of his moves, finding herself wanting to move and follow him, so she did.

She strained her eyes, looking in great focus to him, observing every single move he was doing. His speed was high, but he couldn't outrun her, and she wasn't just nobody back at the academy.

Mysteriously attracted to him, she kept her distance near, while maintaining her control over her aura to mask her presence off his senses, which she now knew how sharp they were.

He could sense the presence of the monsters hundreds of meters away from him, and that seemed quite impossible for just nobody, coming from lands behind the forest.

'What is your secret, Arthur?' she just thought to herself, while tracking him and keeping her distance.

As for Arthur, he galloped his path towards the incoming monsters, without feeling the pressure at all. His mission wasn't to kill them, but to delay, only delay, until the boys and girls back there finish their task and cause deep injuries to the two monsters, adding them two beside their previous brother, unable to even stand.

Five monsters, with one being special, like a boss, were just a few tens of meters ahead, devastating the forest, making trees fall by the side of their track, but that didn't flinch Arthur, who knew they were nothing compared to real monsters he once faced.
