Chapter 115 114. Supporter.
Sorry, but you'll have fight a bit longer!' Quinn thought, glanced back at his desk, tapped the ring twice, it blinked bright red, he ignored it and placed his palm on the circular light blue glow, pressed it tightly, and circuits began to climb on his arm until his entire forearm was covered in circuits.
"Change!"
ZING
CRA-CRACK (3x)
Everything connected to the circuits was disassembling itself, and Quinn's senses confirmed that everything was changing. Only after confirming that did he retract his arm; despite the fact that he retracted his arm, the circuits did not disappear, he knew it would continue to use his mana and simply let it do its job.
WOOONNNGGGG
For a brief moment, the entire academy glowed blue, and everyone in the vicinity was dragged into a vast free space, including Quinn.
WHOOSH
"Uck!?"
"Whoa?"
"What's going on?"
"Hm? What is this?"
Everyone who was dragged to the large ground was stunned as they looked around in disbelief because they couldn't find any traces of the academy they were all familiar with.
SNAP
"Huh?" Quinn felt something was amiss as the large ground they were summoned to had some missing structures which were covered by bright blue glow creating a circuit like patterns on the walls and the ceilings.
"Haaa..." Quinn sighed in disbelief when he realised that the training chamber where Eshwar was wreaking havoc had been disconnected from the circuits, and he had believed that the circuits couldn't ever be broken.
The entire academy had turned into a maze, even the ground they were on had many paths open as if they were now at the heart of the maze, some structures were floating mid-air with firearms hung below them, the same firearms installed in the 'Portal area' and are powerful enough to kill a Grade-7 monster or a Rank-D hero.
(AN: 'Portal area' mentioned in ch11: sector one.)
SPLASH
BLUBUBLUB
"Oh!" A gasp escaped Quinn's mouth as he realized the gravity of the situation when one of the enemy's limbs reattached themselves to the main body, causing a chain reaction that caused every enemy who was damaged to heal themselves.
'This is bad! Those firearms are ineffective against 'Vampires,' and if there is a 'ranked' one, 75 percent of the forces will be slaughtered before even engaging in combat! Not to mention the presence of cadets....' Quinn's mind raced as he tried to sort through the forces, separating the useful ones from the 'how to use' ones, because he, as the 'Supporter,' needed to use everyone to ensure the highest success rates.
'We can only hold them back until we are confident that we can kill them, and we must ensure that no one becomes 'nutrients' to them...' Quinn sighed inwardly at the situation and did not express his concerns in order not to lower their morale even further; if he did, they would give up hope and simply die.
CLAP
TAT-TAT (30x)
A single clap resounded the whole ground, every enemy that stood opposite to Quinn and his 'allies,' abruptly moved back, bowed 90 degrees and made way to somebody, making Quinn's allies tense in the process.
TAT-TAT (5x)
"Hello. Nice to meet you." A man with maroon hair walked forward, wearing a butler-like suit, and made a slight bow with one hand behind his back and the other on his chest.
"I am 'Kensa Bishop.'" Kensa Bishop introduced himself, raised his head, and stared at Quinn. Kensa had dark crimson red eyes with vertical black slits and delicate facial features, as if he had never been to the outside world.
'.... And we're doomed. That's a ranked vampire.' Quinn thought while staring at Kensa with a calm gaze.
'I think I'll have to use every trick up my sleeve.' Quinn thought.
Quinn Walker is a supporter class hero. There are many reasons why the academy is safe despite the fact that Quinn is a supporter class hero, and one of them is that he is a 'multi' awakened hero, as he possesses multiple traits of different 'support' classes.
"Hmm.... I have only made contract with two elemental spirits, though not high ranked ones, I think they'll be fine...." Quinn mumbled out loud in hopes of getting some of the morale back.
"Audie. Aminah." Quinn mumbled.
[Specialized Trait: Summoner [RANK-S] User can summon the contracted spiritual beings.[Contracted: Audie [Low ranked fire spirit] [Contracted: Aminah [Intermediate ranked, unique Strom spirit]]]
Audie was a fire spirit while Aminah was unique 'storm' spirit, their names were given by Eshwar who said those were sidekick-like names.
WHOOSH
Suddenly, elemental energies of fire, water, and wind moved closer to Quinn, who was staring at Kensa Bishop, who was instead glaring at Quinn, orange and red coloured mana concentrated on his right and pale blue and pale green concentrated on his left before two adorable blobs of energy popped out.
POP (2x)
[Kii!] Audie jumped in joy as she moved towards Quinn's right cheek and snuggled.
[Wii!] Aminah quickly followed Audie's cue and snuggled Quinn's left cheek.
'.... I sometimes feel like there is a strange rivalry between them....' Quinn thought.
[Specialized Trait: Bard activated. [Heals 'allies' by 10 percent of the portion of their attack, if within range.]]
WHOOSH
[Specialized Trait: Artificer activated. [Artificer: Increases physical attack damage by 2x.]]
SHWOOSH
"Mana Armour. Mana shield." Quinn mumbled and all of his 'allies' who were in range were, ironically, over geared without much gears, the teachers who had fought with Quinn knew what to do and clenched their weapons before lunging towards their enemies without waiting for any specific orders.
"Oh my, not even a greeting? What a pity." Kensa Bishop said, contrary to his words he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Raze them." Bishop said with a wave of his hand.
In an instant, half of Kensa's army vanished from the sights of those who were not prepared, but those who were lunging towards them didn't miss their movements and moved accordingly, some attacked the openings they had, some dodged, defended, while some deflected and counter attacked without giving their opponents a chance to put up a proper fight, but everything was futile as their opponents only needed a single cut on them to kill them.
The vampires didn't think twice about throwing themselves at their opponents if it meant they could scratch them hard enough to make them bleed with just one shot. Their weaknesses were their hearts and their position, which could be changed if they trained long enough, and it was also something they were taught as soon as they joined 'The Graveyard.'
"Che!" Quinn clicked his tongue in annoyance and extended his left arm out signalling the initiation of the attack.
'I cannot do much except for giving them my complete support....' Quinn thought with a nonchalant look on his face.
'.....but that was before.' Quinn thought with a slight smirk on his face.
