Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

I was running through a field.

With each step we were getting closer to the shore of the Island.

As Freljord Academy was located on this huge Island, it meant that we are currently at one edge of the Island, Maybe at southern side if I am right.

My stamina was pretty average as compared to the students of Kshatriya class but it didn't mean that it was so low that I would get in their way.

I constantly kept up with them.

To be honest, It wasn't even that hard as both Luna and Olivia are magicians, who had low stamina as compared to warriors in the first place.

Only Hazuki was running at the forefront which us following him. Luna seemed frustrated about something but she didn't complain and ran silently.

If there was a problem, then it would be Olivia. She was panting so hard that we had to stop for some time in order to let her rest.

"It's fine. What matters is whether or not we can kill that monster."

Seeing Oliva gasping for breath on the ground, Hazuki said as he handed her a bottle of water.

"Ah...Thank...you"

She was thankful as he took the water bottle from his hand. but I wasn't looking at them, I was checking for Luna's reaction the most.

Contrary to my expectations, she didn't seem too displeased. She was simply sitting modestly on the ground, reading information about the Giant squid from the manual while resting.

Seeing her, I also pulled up out the manual.

----------------

<Giant Squid>

Rank - low-intermediate rank monster

Special features:

Although this monster isn't very strong, numerous baby squids will pop out from the hump on its head when it is threatened. As dozens of them pop out at once, it isn't easy to deal with them. Baby squids can suck human blood and temporarily paralyze their body. They are classified as low rank monsters.

Strategy :

Eliminate all baby squids as soon as they pop out. Alternatively, destroy the head of the squid where the main body's magic power is created.

Weakness :

Area of the head right above it's eyes.

Strength :

The suction cups present at it's tentacles are dangerous and baby squids which can paralyze the enemy.

[Information regarding the monster <Baby Squid> is saved]

As soon as I finished reading the manual, the artifact responded. It's functionalities continued to amaze me the more I see them.

"We will attack the squid together at first and try to finish it off while damaging it's head, but if the plan doesn't work and it end up popping out baby squids, I'll deal with the babies while you two take care of the main body."

Luna closed the manual and said to Hazuki and Olivia.

And soon they started moving once again.

"huh?"

Wait a minute, what was I supposed to do in all this?

Ah, I get it now.

I don't know the reason but, Luna Primrose, this damn noble girl, was acting like I didn't exist. I was at the same level as air, which was why she didn't say anything to me or seem displeased.

'She dare...?'

Why is all the noble girls like this, having their head in the sky, huh?

"... Let's go now."

Offended by her treatment, I forced myself to get up. Thanks to my training, I wasn't that exhausted and my stamina had recovered.

If she is ignoring me, I will do the same.

I turned towards Hazuki and Olivia and asked them.

"Are you sure you got enough rest?"

"yeah, let's go now."I think you should take a look at

"...yes."

The movement they said that, I started running.

"Huh?"

I didn't care for Luna who was running slowly or Olivia who was even slower, I just ran as fast as I could.

Then I turned around and looked at Luna. As expected she was flustered seeing me run ahead. Afterall she was just a 14 year old brat!

Seeing her flustered made me happy!

"There."

Hazuki was running along with me with nimble movements cried out as he saw the giant squid.

"Take position."

Despite her oblivious exhaustion Luna was quick in giving out orders. Although Olivia was a bit slow she too managed to stand firmly by the time the squid noticed us.

"Be careful of it's tentacles, and don't attack recklessly, wait for me to blind it."

Light magic was very effective against monsters which are inherently have the dark attribute. So, Luna was supposedly a important part in our team.

"~Mico!"

She soon casted a spell.

Mico - It was a basic light magic spell that would create a small, quick flash of light and fire at the opponent, rendering them temporarily blinded.

The effect roughly lasts for about a minute, making this spell as an excellent option for quick getaways.

"Now, close your eyes."

We closed our eyes for a movement when the spell was about to activate

-Flash!

After a second we opened our eyes, the giant squid was blinded by the light spell and was swinging it's tentecles all around as it suprised by the flash.

It seemed like the monster felt threatened by the light magic as it's head immediately started to swell.

"The head is starting to swing, When we run at it, the baby squids will pop out of its hump. When that happens, Olivia and I will fall back and be on standby. Olivia needs to save her magic power as much as possible. The giant squid has high regenerative power, so we need to remove its hump in a single blow..."

Luna's explanation continued.

In reality, it was best to leave the baby squids to me. A magic powered gun had a high base power, so it could kill any number of baby squids in one blow.

On the other hand, it was hard to damage the main body unless a critical hit occurred. So they all should jave comcentrated on damaging the main body.

Even using light type spell even before your teammates took position was a terrible move as we now has to face multiple baby squids.

It would have been much easier if we slowly apporched it and cut of it's head hump at once.

Anyway, now that it has already happened we have to look at the way to deal with the monster.

Luna didn't say anything to me.

So I just stood still, holding myself back from yawning

"Then let's start."

The moment her words fell, Oliva started to cast a fire spell and Hazuki ran up. After closing in a fair amount, Hazuki straightened his throat before roaring.

"Kueeeeek!"

"Kyak!"

It was sound magic that amplified their voice, which was very rarely seen.

My ears felt burning, but it had the desired effect. The giant squid lowered its head as a result.

But before Hazuki's dagger could reach it's head, the hump on it's head was fired.

BOOM!

A thundering sound rang out, and dozens of creatures shot out of its hump. Seemingly mushy lumps rained down on us from the sky.

'Tch!'

The plan to cut off it's head failed, now it was time for plan B.
