Chapter 95: Retishia Academy
Nathan took a step forward and said, "I am Nathan, and the person next to me is Selena. We are first-year students from the Frexia Academy. Your Father, the Dragon King, has given us a mission, which is to help you in this place. We\'ll follow your plan unless you\'re sending us to our death. That concludes the message of Sir Dragon King."
When she heard Nathan say they would follow her plan, Alavenya immediately gave an order. "In that case, go with the Retishia Academy."
Nathan maintained his silence for a few seconds as if he didn\'t like the order, but before any conflicts could arise, Mando hurriedly stopped them. "In that case, I\'ll bring them to the group from the Retishia Academy."
Seeing Mando had said it, she had no choice but to drop this matter off.
Mando brought them outside while apologizing. "Sorry. The young miss has been invited by so many academies that she is too frustrated to deal with them anymore."
"It is fine. We have heard her circumstances from Sir Dragon King. By the way, do you know what they\'re planning to do, Mr. Mando?" Nathan asked.
"The plan is rather simple. The main group, led by the young miss, will head to the center of the forest to fight against the mature class alien. I will have to be there to ensure nothing goes wrong.
"Meanwhile, you two and the group from the Retishia Academy will be positioned on the left side to take care of the aliens that will come to help the mature class alien."
Selena picked up something unusual. "What do you mean, coming to help?"
Mando raised one finger. "The alien this time is rather weird. Normally, the lower class aliens would be around the alien. However, this alien actually sends the lower class aliens around.
"The soldiers have been stopping them, but they\'re going to be destroyed completely if we don\'t eliminate the mature class alien as quickly as possible.
"However, the mature class alien is capable of producing a sound that can echo across the entire battlefield, which will recall all the aliens."
Selena nodded in understanding. "So you want us to block the left side? How many aliens are there?"
"We are unsure about the exact number, but because of the last breach, we are expecting to see a total of 200 proto-class and juvenile aliens from all directions. Since you are only focusing on the left side, it should be only 50… No, 40 aliens or less. The rest will be handled by the soldiers and our people."
Selena raised a finger. "Last question. How many people does the Retishia Academy have?"
"5 people, four of them are first year like you and the other one is a second year. I\'m sure that the latter is bringing those four to get some experience."
Nathan, on the other hand, asked a different topic. "Is Miss Alavenya like that most of the time? I\'m sorry if I\'m wrong and rude, but from my first impression, she is like a person who would be honest with her actions, expressions, or anything that is visible."
Mando nodded. "Indeed. The young miss is a very straightforward person. She speaks bluntly, so I apologize if she offends you."
Mando realized that not anybody could actually receive the invitation of the Dragon King. These two must be somewhat special, so he should be careful.
On the other hand, Nathan had actually confirmed what he really needed to complete the Dragon King\'s real request.
"I understand. When are we going to leave?"
"We\'ll be leaving in an hour since we have finished our preparation. This is just the final briefing." Mando explained. "Do you need anything else?"
"No." Nathan shook his head.
Mando smiled and pointed his hand at the group of students in the corner of the camp. They were chatting like they were on a picnic.
Nathan thought that he could spend his time in a more fulfilling way, such as helping with the treatment of the soldiers, but he couldn\'t waste Anubis\' Ena, especially before they finished their mission.
Although it was a shame, he could only turn a blind eye to the injured soldiers.
The other party seemed to have noticed them as well. Their group consisted of four males and one female. There was one person who was much older than them.
He seemed to be the second year that Mando mentioned.
The group looked confused, so the guy walked to Mando while asking, "Is there something wrong? Who are they?"
"They are guests from the Frexia Academy. We are planning to station you guys together on the left side and repel all the aliens coming from that side."
The guy couldn\'t help but furrow his eyebrows, as if he disliked on how they were forced to cooperate with each other.
Nathan also noticed their reaction as he couldn\'t help but ask inwardly, \'What the hell? We are from the Frexia Academy, right? The number one academy, right? Even if they dislike it, shouldn\'t they at least not show it openly as a courtesy?\'
The guy extended his hand and said, "Retishia Academy\'s second-year student, Raza. I guess the people from the Frexia Academy are too proud to shake the hand of the student from a humble background."
Nathan shook Raza\'s hand while saying, "I am Nathan, a first-year student from the Frexia Academy. We\'ll be looking forward to working together with you."
Raza\'s expression turned cold as he put more strength into his grip, as if trying to crush Nathan\'s hand.
It was quite painful, but it couldn\'t be comparable to the pain he felt when absorbing the mature class core.
\'Oh, this.\' Nathan finally understood what Raza was aiming for. Surprisingly, Nathan didn\'t fight back. He simply let Raza crush his hand. Instead of fighting power with power, Nathan simply endured the pain with an emotionless face before asking, "Have you eaten your breakfast yet?"
