Chapter 241 - Great Races 5

"Are you crazy Yue!" Emily shouted. "Griphon Dragons are C-level monsters! While our strength level is D-Level! How can we defeat that monster!"

"Ojou-Sama is right! I alone am the strongest of us all at best I can only hold that monster for a while."

This time Beatrix felt very agree with the words of her employer who often said inconsequential and careless. Because the Griphon Dragon is a fairly strong type of monster.

"Because even though the level is low, the Griphon Dragon is a monster that is difficult to beat because it has dragon blood."

"They are both right Yue, for now it will be more for all of us to run from here!" Collete shouted.

"Even running will be useless," Yue said who was currently accessing the magic net using her artifact to search for information about Dragons. "Because Griphon Dragons in this season are extremely brutal, so even escaping with a broomstick would be pointless. The only way we don't get killed is to fight it. That's why I need the help of the four of you to defeat him."

"Even if the four of us try to defeat him do you have a way to fight him without getting all four of us killed?" Asked Emily.

"I have a way to defeat that monster," Replied Yue who strengthened her magic wall by drawing more magic energy from her Pactio card. "That's why I need the help of the three of you, because only with your help can I carry out my plan."

"Whatever your plan is Yue! You'd better do it quickly, because your magic wall has started to crack again!" Shouted Collete who looked very panicked. "Otherwise we all will die!"

Yue knew that the magic wall would break in a moment. So Yue immediately gave orders to Collete and Beatrix so she could carry out her plan.

"Collete, Beatrix please distract from that Griphon Dragon," Yue said. "It's a bit dangerous, but please believe me!"

"Uuukh okay," Collete said while swallowing her saliva.

"No problem," Beatrix said.

Once Yue's magic wall shattered. Beatrix and Collete immediately directed the Griphon Dragon's attention to the two of them, which made Collete and Beatrix have to fly using their brooms at high speed.

"Gyaaa! Why did I agree to your crazy idea Yue!" Shouted Collete who panicked because she was being chased by the Griphon Dragon.

"Don't be noisy, just do your job, lure the Griphon Dragon towards the cliff while turning around," Yue said as she pointed at the large cliff protruding in the middle of the magic monster forest. "Catch him with flashy magic. And don't push yourself."

Collete and Beatrix were forced to do as Yue ordered. Agae Yue had time to execute the second part of her plan.

"Class rep, let's go to that cliff first," Yue said who was already flying on her broom once again.

"W-wait Yue!" Emily said. "Is it okay to let the two of them become bait like that?"

"The only special attack the Griphon Dragon has is the kamaitachi and flying within the forest of the tree monsters will make a good shield for the both of them from the kamaitachi," Yue said. "The two of them can definitely survive, and right now the problem is the windscreen that always protects the body from the Griphon Dragon automatically."

"A wind elemental magic wall that will protect attacks below C level automatically, it's only natural that our attacks can't injure that monster," Emily said while biting her finger. "And no wonder you need my help."

"Well, since I know you have Level C magic that you can use to harm the monster," Yue said. "Which takes quite a while to get out."

"Yue, who exactly are you, anyway?" Asked Emily.

"To be honest, Class rep, I don't know either," Yue replied. "It's all because I lost my memory."

"Lost your memory? Seriously!? If you lost your memory how did you manage to use that artifact?" Asked Emily while pointing at the Orbis Sensualsum Pictus currently hovering in front of Yue.

"I don't know either, because I used my artifact instinctively," Yue replied. "And instead of talking about my artifact and my memories, it would be better if we talked about the strategy to defeat the Griphon Dragon."

"Kyaaa that monster is getting closer!" Collete said who was tired because she was riding her broom at high speed, so the magic energy she had was almost exhausted.

"We'll both die, if Ojou-sama and Yue-san don't help us both!" Beatrix said who currently looked quite scared.

[My preparations are complete Collete] Yue said telepathically. [Keep straight towards the light you see in front of you! As soon as you see me standing on a tree, quickly dodge and take cover]

Without replying to Yue's words, Collete quickly did as Yue instructed her. Because she didn't want to die young.

"Come here you hairy lizard!" Yue shouted who was holding the ritual knife in her right hand. "Fight me!"

The griphon Dragon immediately attacked Yue using a kamaitachi. But Yue used the strongest magic wall she could create at the moment to restrain the kamaitachi. And Yue's efforts one hundred percent paid off, because the kamaitachi couldn't break through her magic wall.

"Class rep now unleash your attack on that monster!" Yue said.

"Tsssk why did I must be ordered by an amateurs," Emily said with a sigh. "Hey Griphon Dragon take this! Jaculatio Grandinis!"

Dozens of ice spears shot towards the Griphon Dragon, causing the wind magic wall protecting the Griphon Dragon to be destroyed. And Yue quickly seized the moment.

She dodged the hail of Ice spears that rained down on the Griphon Dragon's body so she could approach the Griphon Dragon so that she could do the ultimate attack.

And after she managed to get right in front of the Griphon Dragon, stab the Griphon Dragon with the ritual knife. And used Fulguratio Albicans to finish off the Griphon Dragon.

The rally ends in defeat to Emily, Beatrix, Yue and Collete. Because the four of them finished in last place, causing them all to not be selected at all to go to Ostia. But because the four of them managed to defeat the Griphon Dragon, they were greeted with great fanfare by the students from their school.

And the good news came when the principal of Seras appeared and told Yue, Collete, Emily and Beatrix a good news.

"By defeating the Griphon Dragon you four have already proven that you are elite cadets," Seras said. "So I gave the four of you special permission to go to Ostia."

Joy was etched on the faces of the four girls, because they finally got what they wanted.

Forty kilometers west of Ostia, along with the quartet Asuna, Setsuna, Kaede, and Konoka.

"I'm sorry Konoka-Ojou-Sama," Setsuna said as she lowered her head. "Since we are short of money, we have to walk to Ostia."

"No problem, I don't mind it at all Setsu-chan ," Konoka said with a smile. "I've been used to walking long distances since going on adventures with Kaede. You're also the one carrying my bag right now, so my burden is lighter now."

"By the way Setsuna-san, what kind of place is Ostia?" Asked Asuna.

"If I'm not mistaken like an island floating in the sky," Setsuna replied. "Which legally belongs to Negi-Sensei's private estate since he is the son of the last queen Ostia."

"Negi-kun is really like the prince from a fairy tale in the highest level, with all the backgrounds he has," Konoka said. "And the floating island just adds to the plus of the background he has."

"But the islands are now destroyed," Setsuna said.

"The remains of the island can be seen from here, you know de gozaru," Kaede said while looking at the fragments of the floating island that could be seen in the distance.

Konoka felt very excited when she saw the remains of the island, as well as Kaede and Setsuna. Asuna, on the other hand, reacted differently, because for some reason she felt something painful when she looked at the ruins..
