Chapter 33: First Battle (1)

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Outside, the slaughter continued.

In the canteen.

Su Yu and Chen Hao could only hear the sounds of blades and swords clashing, painful cries, and students’ screams of shock… However, they didn’t dare to peek.

Were they having the upper hand or at a disadvantage?

Even Su Yu, who firmly believed that the teachers could win, didn’t know what the situation outside was like.

“A`Yu…”

In his corner, Chen Hao held tightly onto his blade, his countenance turning a little pale and also a little flushed. He wanted to ask Su Yu if they should go out.

However, Su Yu ignored him. His left ear kept on twitching slightly as he was listening to the sounds outside.

Having reached the fourth level of the Origin Opening Realm, his battle prowess hadn’t risen much. However, his hearing had become a lot sharper.

“Shush!”

Su Yu put his index finger in front of his lips, gesturing for Chen Hao to be quiet.

A short moment later, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside without any attempts of concealing it.

“Hurry up and come out! The academy has made arrangements for you guys to leave! Go gather at the south gate!”

A slightly anxious voice rang out. A short moment later, a man in his thirties entered the canteen with a blade and called out, “Are there any students here? Hurry up! We won’t be able to hold them off for much longer! The members of the All-Races Sect who have come are too strong! Hurry up and leave the academy!”

The anxious voice rang out together with the footsteps.

Chen Hao moved slightly, looking at Su Yu with a bit of anxiety. (A teacher has come to look for us. Should we go?)

Su Yu also squinted his eyes as he looked toward the entrance. He saw the person but wasn’t familiar with him. However, there were over 200 teachers in the academy, and he wouldn’t know all of them.

Did a teacher come to look for them?

“Is there anyone here? The front lines can’t hold them off for much longer! We must leave right away! Hurry up!”

The person looked very anxious. The canteen was very big, at least about several thousand square meters. It’d take at least a minute or more to search through the place, and it’d take too much time.

In the corner.

Chen Hao had trouble holding back when he heard the teacher’s tone sounding so anxious and that those in the front lines couldn’t hold on for much longer. This time around, he didn’t wait for Su Yu’s reply and quickly probed his head out, asking, “Teacher, how’s the situation outside?”

The man looked over, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes.

Students were still students. They were too inexperienced.

Even though the academies kept teaching them some rules of survival, it was still not enough.

Prior to this, he had lured out two students that had been hiding in the combat room with these words. In just ten seconds, he had managed to lure the two students out despite the many rooms on the entire floor.

That was great because it would take him at least two minutes to search through all the places.

These children hadn’t experienced setbacks nor had been on the battlefields before. Hence, they would easily give their trust when given just a few words of deceit.

“The situation outside is very bad. Hurry up and come with me. If we don’t leave, it’ll be too late…”

As the man said this, he hurried in Chen Hao’s direction.

(This is the third one!)

The man couldn’t conceal the joy on his face. Amongst the 300 elites, 200 had gone to fend off those teachers, city guards, school guards, and those from the Windarrest Hall.

Even though the All-Races Sect’s people had inferior numbers, they still had the upper hand in the situation. It was because most of their opponents were in the early or mid-levels of the Thousand Pound Realm.

The rest of their members either went to attack the classrooms or search for scattered students in the academy.

If they were to attack the classrooms, the teachers would be fighting with their lives on the line to protect the students.

On the other hand, although there weren’t many scattered students and they were also hard to find, these students didn’t have anyone to protect them. Therefore, it’d be easier to kill them.

There were several thousand students around. Even if all of them appeared, each of the All-Races Sect’s members would only be able to kill less than ten of them.

And he had gotten three!

In the next few minutes, he might be able to get a better harvest.

“Hurry up and come over, leave the academy…”

The man’s speed was very fast. He didn’t stop even as he spoke, dashing rapidly toward Chen Hao.

In their eyes, killing students would only take a single slash, but it was hard to locate the scattered students. Hence, finding one successfully would be a meritorious service!

Chen Hao stood up and wanted to go out while subconsciously glancing in Su Yu’s direction.

And at this moment, Su Yu was also looking at this “teacher”.

When the man was talking in the beginning, Su Yu also thought that he was a teacher who came to look for students. However… Su Yu quickly noticed that something was amiss.

It wasn’t because he had a lot of experience, but because he had been chased and killed in his dreams too many times. The man’s anxious tone sounded a lot like the cries of the ferocious beasts that had been chasing after him to kill him.

It seemed to be shouting, “Hurry up and let me kill you. I can’t wait anymore.”

Although this wasn’t what his words meant, the pressing feeling and the urge of wanting to kill you were the same. It was the same tone!

Su Yu couldn’t help but take a few more looks.

At the next moment, sweats broke out on Su Yu’s forehead.

He was a fake!

Although the teachers might not wear uniforms, they would all put on their staff tags no matter what they wore. However, this guy didn’t have one on him!

Did he drop it?

Were the battles too intense and he dropped it during a fight?

“No…”

Su Yu saw the long blade being raised slightly. It was the starting stance of a blade attack. This man was going to attack!

“Damn it! Hao`zi is a fool!”

Su Yu scolded in his heart and didn’t have time to think too much. He also didn’t have time to regret his carelessness as he lacked experience. After all, both he and Chen Hao were just students from a mid-grade academy and hadn’t experienced such situations before.

They had thought that the enemies would come after them in an open and aboveboard manner, looking fierce and scary. But who would have thought that the enemies would attempt to lure out weaklings like them?

“Teacher!”

With a soft cry, Su Yu quickly jumped, his heart palpitating.

The man’s hand paused and a feeling of joy rose in his heart!

(There’s another one! That makes it four!)

The hand with which Su Yu was holding the blade was drenched in sweat. He felt nervous, scared, and unsettled…

However, he still hung on. He had been killed too many times in his dream and even though he was scared, it was only because this was his first experience in real life. He got accustomed to things faster than other people.

“Teacher, are we really on the losing end outside? We have over ten more students here. Can I call them over to join us?”
