"Block it!"
"Evacuate the students!"
"Everyone co this way!"
"Where did such a monster co from!"
The forest trees were uprooted by the giant tail, while magic and slashing attacks struck the hard scales.
The aftermath of the battle spread from the lake to the entire surrounding forest, growing more intense.
"What are you doing here? Evacuate, it's dangerous!"
"Yes! Understood!"
And Aint, breathing heavily, hurriedly joined the evacuation line.
"I-I survived. The water dragon won't win, right?"
"That's not a fully grown adult?"
"That's insane..."
"Of course."
Aint checked the pouch hanging at his waist. It was a spatial pouch provided by the Academy for this practical training.
It originally contained basic potions, ergency supplies, and a small amount of dried at, but now it was completely filled with adamant.
"When I think about nearly dying for this..."
Just as he had finished mining all the adamant and was about to leave after organizing it well, he realized the water dragon was climbing up.
It was Gardner's shout that held back Aint's ankle as he tried to flee urgently, and he barely managed to take the spirit herb.
The problem was that the water dragon had witnessed the herb being stolen right before its eyes and began chasing him like a mad dog.
If it weren't for the professors and assistant professors stationed throughout the area, he would have ended his life as the water dragon's al after fleeing with all his might to the outside of the lake.
Normally, a water dragon that had its spirit herb stolen would vent its anger belatedly, but that would be the end of it. The culprit would have already disappeared, and water dragons, with their less sensitive sense of sll, wouldn't be able to track the traces.
But due to Gerhard's butterfly effect, Aint discovered the adamant, causing the sequence to be reversed, and he was directly seen stealing the spirit herb.
And the water dragon wasn't generous enough to let a thief escape with its treasure right before its eyes.
That created the current situation, but Aint had no way of knowing this.
"Anyway, I'm glad things worked out well. The professors will handle the water dragon..."
Now the issue was how to naturally sell the adamant to Gerhard.
"What should I say if he asks how I got it?"
Indeed, there was no need to explain the reason. Regardless of how it was obtained, adamant was a precious material that everyone would definitely want to get their hands on.
The advantage was absolutely on his side.
"How much should I ask for it to be considered a good deal..."
That's when it happened.
Following Gardner's words, Aint turned his head and spotted Gerhard.
But his appearance was quite unusual. His body was covered in sweat, and with his eyes wide open, he was constantly looking around everywhere.
"Who is he looking for?"
Whoever it was, he seed extrely urgent.
At that mont, their eyes t. Gerhard, who approached with large strides in an instant, regulated his rough breathing.
"Aint Armian."
"...Are you talking to ?"
Aint was bewildered by Gerhard's behavior, which seed like he was sighing in relief. Could it be that he was the person Gerhard was looking for? Why?
