Parallel Memory

Chapter 198 Arcane Academy Secret Weapon! [2]

"Okay, okay, you two! Stop fighting!"

He intervened, seeing that his allies were on the brink of fighting.

" "SHUT UP!" "

Both of them yelled angrily at him.

"Where were you anyway? How dare you say that after hiding like a coward?"

Omar Noel said angrily.

Omar Noel didn't like him even though he had saved him. He was hiding and was acting like he was something special, especially since he had saved him once.

He would have been a little grateful if he had saved him before getting beaten by Hiro.

"Haha… What are you saying? Didn't you know that I was busy with some arrangements?"

The guy was not scared of Omar Noel at all.

Not to mention his own strength, Omar Noel right now was someone he could beat at any time. Though being the cool-headed he was, he would not do that. He didn't save them just to beat them.

"So? Did you finish the preparation?"

Ruelle asked solemnly.

She had calmed down. While her resentment of being defeated has not faded away, she thought that she still had the chance for revenge.

She knew what arrangement he was talking about. In the event that everything had gone as planned, she believes that she would have gotten her revenge more quickly than she had expected.

"What do you think? I would have already started if not for having to save you two!"

An expression of dissatisfaction was on his face. The two of them were not showing any gratitude to him, even though he had saved them.

He ignored them thinking that he should not have expected anything from those two arrogant guys. He took out a flute.

Judging by the mana aura, one would be able to tell that the flute was an artifact that was also of high rank.

-PHWEEEEEE!

He blew the flute using his mana. An extremely dense mana aura was released from the flute, and along with that, the ground shook like an earthquake.

******

Zero watched the man blow his flute and, along with that he sensed a vast amount of mana being released. He didn't know what type of effect that flute had but soon the earth shook.

"What is happening?"

The students all panicked at the sudden occurrence. They had just started resting after the grueling battle when suddenly the ground shook violently.

"What is that?"

The students suddenly pointed in the direction where Omar Noel and others ran. The expression on their faces changed.

"Th-this is…"

"How can we survive this?"

"Is this the end?"

The student lost all hope at the moment because right now the cause of the earthquake and the things that the students saw were nothing but monsters.

-GRRRR! -AWOOOOOO!

Hundreds and thousands of monsters were currently heading in the direction of the students. The monsters were not very high ranked as the highest monsters were only Rank-D + which was also rare in number.

However, the problem was the number of monsters. With these numbers, even the Rank-B student would have died of exhaustion. Not to mention, the current state of students was not good.

With students having fought with all they had, there were hardly any students that could fight against those monsters. They were exhausted both physically and mentally.

The appearance of the monsters affected the mentality of students. Most have given up on even trying to escape.

"RETREAT!"

"There is no place to run! We are surrounded!"

The monster had surrounded this place from all directions. The students were all gathered surrounded by the monsters.

Amidst the chaos, Zero was calmly thinking about something.

( Was that flute for controlling the monsters? )

I thought.

The monsters made the move as soon as I saw the Arcane Academy's guy blow his flute. I had expected that they were planning to do something.

Only that I didn't expect that he would have such a rare artifact. Artifacts for controlling monsters are extremely rare, even more than some of the Rank-S artifacts.

Anyway, how did he manage to gather so many monsters? Did he collect the monsters at the beginning of the tournament?

Even so, the numbers are a bit too much if you think about it. Even if he was given one day, it would be impossible to prepare these many monsters.

Not to mention, how did he know that this place would be filled with monsters? The rules and location of the tournament are not revealed to anyone until the last minute. It is impossible to get such an artifact at the last minute.

And I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to carry such a precious artifact with them. It seems that someone from the tournament management side is helping the Arcane Academy.

( Arcane Academy scheme runs deeper than I thought. )

*****

"Sir, the situation is extremely dangerous. I think we should end the tournament and evacuate the student as soon as possible."

A guy asked on his phone.

He was one of the heroes responsible for students' safety. They had been watching the exciting battle until the appearance of the monsters.

With such a large number of monsters, it would be difficult for them to protect everyone by the time the students needed help. They had to interfere now or else there would be lots of casualties.

After all, unlike students monsters would not hold back and kill humans. He called his superiors and asked for their decision.

"No need! The higher-ups have decided to let the students take care of this by themselves. You should just focus on other situations."

"But sir, the situation is very dangerous. We need to act now or else we will lose lots of talented students."

He asked desperately.

"Just do what we are telling you to do. Don't question our decisions!"

-Piiiii!

With that, the call ended.

"F**K!"

He threw the phone in anger. He didn't understand what type of decision the higher-ups were making.

"All Heroes, prepare yourself! We will jump in as soon as students are in danger."

He wanted to rush over and help the students right now but he was powerless to do so. He had to follow what he was told or he would face harsh punishment.

He could only keep the anger to himself.

He hoped that students would be able to face this disaster by themselves!
