Volume 14 Chapter 34: Let’s Do This!
Krystal took a deep sigh as she looked up at the sky. How did it come to this? A couple of days have passed since the finals started. Situations changed: a group of students surrounded them. How did it increase so much?
This all started a few days ago.
The tunnelers continued to chase after them, and it seemed they were not the only ones: a few other students were being chased by them. That was how their party increased in size. However, the thing that irritated Krystal was,
The tunnelers continued to pursue them. They could hear them slowly trudge over even when they tried to go to sleep. It seemed they were not the only ones; a few other students were being chased by them. That was how their party increased in size. That irritated Krystal because,
“Princess Krystal, please tell us what we should do!”
"How should we deal with the tunnelers?"
"Should we wait it out?"
"We'll follow your lead on this!"
All eyes gazed at Krystal with hope. Because she was one of the strongest students, everyone came to her. This was precisely why she was anxious; she had never fought in such a team with her as the lead! Just the thought caused her breathing to be inconsistent. I need to calm down. She couldn't allow herself to be affected.
Actually, there was one instance with their first dungeon exploration. However, that was her powering through everything while the others watched.
“Right now, we need to deal with that tunneler. We're going to have to attack them." That was the only choice, "We can't keep running away from them, and if we're able to take their magic stones, we'll be able to pass." It's the very last day. With so many students here, the stones they had wouldn't be enough.
"We're going to attack them in droves." Krystal understood; she wanted to make sure the monsters didn't have time to regroup. Plus, it would give her a smoother time commanding.
“Alright!”
“We will follow through with your plan!”
“There’s nothing to worry about with Krystal here!”
"..." Now that they separated, Krystal took a deep breath as she looked down at her palms; beads of sweat rolled down from them.
"Relax a bit more." Jack was still beside her and noticed her anxiousness.
"Do you really think I'm able to?" There was a lot at stake in this situation.
“Don’t compare yourself to him. I think you have your own way of leading things.”
“I know.” Krystal took a deep breath. She understood that Keith and her were fundamentally different from one another. Keith was capable of leading a group, while Krystal could not. However, she tended to be more reserved in this situation.
However, that also didn’t stop her from worrying.
“Couldn’t you take charge?”
“No way. I don't have what it takes.”
“And you think I do?” Krystal was the same as Jack. She was not the commanding and leadership role type on the battlefield.
“Well, you’re going to have to be since you’re going to be the next head of the household!”
“You just want to skip out on all of this trouble!” This jerk was really infected by Keith! When did he have the guts to talk back like this?
"Do whatever you can. Besides, I doubt no one will question it." Jack could tell that everyone had faith in Krystal. He doubted they would question her orders.
“...Alright.” Krystal sighed as she shouted, “Prepare for battle!”
"Understood!" Krystal and the students headed out on their horses. Although they moved slowly, the sheer number and size of the tunneler easily overpowered them. Krystal frowned as she watched. I don't think we have enough firepower to take them on. The hide itself would be an issue. While she thought, a thought occurred.
“Everyone, hear me out!” The students started listening to her words.
The tunnelers gnawed at every tree before they suddenly paused. They smelled their enemy.
"Neigh!" A bunch of horses galloped at them. Hearing their enemy, they slowly chased after them. However, instead of fighting, the horses turned around and fled! The game of cat and mouse began. The tunnelers slowly caught up with the horses before,
“Now!” The group started to fly down from the sky. Krystal and a few others had stabbed at the monster.
