"Where the hell is Van!?"
President Hannah's speech was only starting, but alas, it was cut short as Van was nowhere to be seen. She was going to say,
'Do what you do best',
But she didn't mean it in a way that he should run away. She wanted him to protect and pull the other students who were not fast enough to safety. She had a lot more to say, but since the cockatrice had already landed near them, it was not like she had any more choice on the matter as she summoned another sword of fire in her left hand.
The newly cockatrice was almost twice as big as the one they fought earlier. And assuming its hurried steps towards the smaller cockatrice were of concern, one could only assume that it was the dead cockatrice's parents.
And as soon as it reached the dead cockatrice, it tried to pull it up with its beak. But alas, when it let go, the dead cockatrice's head just slammed itself back to the ground. The newly arrived cockatrice stared at it for a few seconds, tilting its head from side to side.
And after a few seconds, it let out a crow that shook even the trees themselves.
Yes, it was definitely one of the dead cockatrice's parents.
"Gerald, get ready to stop it in its tracks as soon as it--"
"I can take it on alone!"
Before Hannah could even finish her orders, Gerald already rushed towards the mourning cockatrice.
"Don't be reckless!"
Hit first, and strike with no mercy. After Van ambushed him on the Academy grounds, this has bee one of his aphorisms in life. And thus, he ran towards the cockatrice, making sure he was not within its eyes.
"!!!"
But as Gerald was only a few meters away from the cockatrice, its tail suddenly whipped towards him, almost a blur in his eyes. Gerald quickly slid to the ground to avoid the tail of death that almost lopped his head off. Using this momentum, Gerald swept his foot, pletely staggering the cockatrice and making it lose its balance.
He was going to follow with an uppercut, but the cockatrice's wings threw him away as it quickly flew in the air.
"Damn it, Gerald!" Hannah's sword of fire swayed and flickered in her hand, it became longer and thinner as she raised it above her head. And without pause, threw it towards the flying cockatrice.
The cockatrice, however, just flailed its tail, pletely extinguishing Hannah's spear of fire.
"e back down here!" Gerald imitated Mr. Jacobs' move as he leaped into the air. Sadly for him, the cockatrice already knew what he was going to do as it quickly moved to the side. It then chattered with its beak, as if laughing at the now airborne Gerald.
Gerald protected himself with his arms and legs, preparing for the cockatrice's attack, but it never came. Instead, the cockatrice's eyes were focused on the petrified student, which was being protected by Harvey.
And with a slight snap of its tail, it flew straight towards the petrified student.
"No!" Gerald desperately stretched his arms, but he was unable to grab the cockatrice. "Harvey, run!"
Seeing the monster approaching him, Harvey tried to carry the petrified student, but as soon as he heard a light crack, he instantly retracted his hand.
"Oh, man…" He whispered as he looked at the approaching cockatrice. He then stomped his foot on the ground, embedding it in. He let out a deep breath as he stretched his hand, "I can take it
