Chapter 51 - Fighting a Pack of Wolves Alone
Meanwhile, the pack of Explosive Wolves had already surrounded Moss as a level seven wolf howled at the sky. The pack members became excited, bending down and lowering their heads. Then they bared their fangs and glared at Moss with glowing red eyes, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice.
Several Explosive wolves growled and charged toward Moss. They moved swiftly as a few gray shadows appeared. The sudden movement on the screen aroused a heated discussion from the audience.
“That level seven Explosive wolf should be the pack leader, and its howl seems to possess magical powers. The other wolves were triggered when they heard it, and their combat strength increased. Senior Moss is in grave danger!”
“Several levels five and six wolves are attacking in unison. Senior Moss might not be able to hold them off alone!”
“Yeah, those wolves are far different from the level four ones that Senior Moss killed previously. Their legs are more muscular, making them faster than usual.”
“Run, Senior Moss!”
The audience shouted when they saw the wolves pouncing at Moss. However, a white light flashed in succession, and three transparent shields appeared between Moss and the Explosive Wolves. The shields formed a triangle, protecting Moss.
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock when they saw three shields appear in unison. Although they had seen Moss do the same thing before, they were still confused.
“Senior Moss can summon three shields at once?!”
“The shields didn’t appear simultaneously, but there was only a short interval between them. It was only about one or two seconds long. How is that possible?!”
Not only were the students puzzled, but even the teachers were. Even though the director had explained that it was possible to summon more than one Guardian’s Shield, they still felt incredulous.
Class one’s teacher said in puzzlement, “Moss’s shield exceeded his skill’s cooldown time, and I can understand that. But to summon two shields at seemingly the same time is impossible! There should be a cooldown of ten seconds between uses!”
The director sitting behind the teacher snorted, immediately attracting the surrounding teachers’ attention. Class one’s teacher quickly turned her head and looked at the director with anticipation.
The director looked at the screen and sighed softly, “Multiple shields can appear in a short timeframe. Everyone’s talents differ, and an awakened class has differentiating skills. However, there is not much of a comparison. In Moss’s case, his talent is far greater than ordinary individuals.”
Seeing the director in deep thought, the principal echoed, “It’s true that the shield’s cooldown is ten seconds. But if the individual possesses a higher talent, it would make his class more unique from the rest. Since Moss could summon three shields seemingly simultaneously, it is apparent that the timeframe cooldown is extremely short.”
After saying this, the principal looked at the surrounding teachers and said earnestly, “My fellow teachers, we must tap into our students’ talents. If there are other students as talented as Moss, you must find them and report to me.”
“Take Moss for an example. His potential would have been more significant if he could’ve awakened a better class. The director also mentioned that we must not allow other outstanding students’ talents to be wasted.”
The surrounding teachers nodded when the principal finished speaking. But they felt a profound regret for Moss. The director looked at the principal and nodded meaningfully.
Then another wave of exclamations echoed from the audience. Everyone turned around and found that Moss had already climbed a tree. On the other trees, the levels five to seven Explosive Wolves stood in formation and attacked Moss in an organized fashion under the level seven wolf’s commands.
Just as the wolves pounced at Moss, four shields appeared and surrounded him. However, there weren’t any shields in front of him.
“That’s not good. The level seven Explosive wolves are also attacking Senior Moss!”
“H-How can this be? Senior Moss summoned four shields!”
“But why aren’t there any shields in front of him?”
“I don’t believe it. Senior Moss looks like he will face a level seven Explosive Wolf head-on!”
As the camera panned, the audience burst with exclamations.
“Senior Moss has stabbed his sword into the level seven wolf!”
“Senior Moss has cut it open. That Explosive Wolf is dead!”
“Senior Moss did something unexpected and caught the wolves off guard. It’s simply too graceful!”
The students watching the battle cheered. As the scene on the screen changed, Moss’s sword sank into the level seven wolf’s head. The audience was in a complete uproar.
“Senior Moss dispatched that level seven Explosive wolf so beautifully!”
“Wow! Senior Moss managed to kill a level seven Magical Beast on his own!”
“Senior Moss is indeed a brave and resourceful person. His combat intelligence is too terrifying!”
Although the battle wasn’t over, the junior students had already celebrated, turning the audience stands into a sea of joyous cheers.
The director looked at the scene before him and couldn’t help but praise, “Good lad, you have profound guts and strategy!”
When the surrounding teachers heard the director praising Moss again, they applauded enthusiastically. The teachers praised Moss for his boldness and wit in their hearts.
Miss Aisha was utterly excited as tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Moss kill the level seven Explosive Wolf on his own. “You’re doing great, Moss.” Then she heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the other wolves were still around, Miss Aisha felt a glimmer of hope that Moss would achieve victory. She attentively stared at the screen, wanting to see what would happen next.
A level four Explosive Wolf, standing under the tree, froze on the spot. Meanwhile, the other higher-leveled wolves seemed to have gone into a riot. Their eyes were bloodshot as they desperately attacked Moss.
Facing nine Explosive Wolves at once ignited an intense atmosphere among the junior students. Everyone looked forward to seeing Moss kill nine wolves one at a time.
Moss didn’t let the audience down. As the screen flashed with a cold light, Moss killed six of the nine wolves. He also injured the remaining three wolves on several parts of their bodies, causing blood to gush out.
The Explosive Wolves wanted to escape, seeing as they were in a hopeless situation. However, Moss didn’t allow them to do so, killing them with a few swift slashes.
The audience burst into laughter as two wolves bumped into each other, trying to escape.
