Unusual monsters

Approaching the class where the lesson on monsters took place, I tried to calm down, I was taught from childhood to keep cool and look at the end result, which means emotions are not my helpers here.

Seeing that the door was open and going inside, seeing that Hei was not there yet, I frowned, did she go to find out about Alurika from the professors or was she just delayed?

I didn't know the answer to this question, so after walking through the classroom, choosing a place near the end and sitting down, I began to carefully monitor the situation in the classroom, holding seven tormentors ready for release. Realizing that I have relaxed too much in these two months, I need to become myself again, ready for anything.

Time dragged by slowly, listening to the conversations of classmates, someone was discussing the history of magic, someone was discussing monsters. Rare spoke about their countries, saying how they live there and what troubles they face. Watching the door, I saw how Heya entered the classroom, she was upset, after walking through the classroom, she sat down next to me.

Not understanding this action, I raised an eyebrow and turned my head in her direction, showing that I did not understand her choice of where to sit. The last conversation we had with her didn't go very well.

When she saw my look, she just snorted and pointed to the wall where the professor's desk was. Shifting my gaze, I read the inscription and my face began to change. Seeing how I react, Heya smiled maliciously.

The inscription read " All the stufons sit in pairs."

- And I thought you couldn't read. - Heya said sarcastically to me.

She changed her character well, then she was the defender of her brother in front of another brother, explaining that he was also a brother and now you can't tell from her that she was arguing with Nreu.

- I also sometimes wonder how princesses easily become closer to the common people. - I turned to her, smiling.

Hearing my words, Heya started to get angry, but only someone who knows her well could see it. And she was unlucky, she was growing up before my eyes, she already wanted to get up, but looking around, all the seats were occupied with other students. Sinking back into the chair.

- Today is the last time we sit together. - Heya hissed, sitting down next to me.

Trying to restrain a smile, I turned my gaze to the professor who began to get the monster out of the cage.

After opening the cage and taking the chains in his hands, a creature came out to view the class outwardly it looked like a person, the structure of the body, but when I looked down, I saw claws instead of legs that glittered like metal.

Raising my head, I saw hands similar to human ones, but then there were long claws rising up, I saw protruding ears, eyes were located on the sides, an elongated mouth that could tear a person in half. On the way to the center of the class, I noticed that this monster is still hunched over, thereby hiding from the back that it is a monster if you do not look down.

- This monster is called Mara, lives in forests where there are farms, villages and small towns nearby. Hunts both day and night, at night from the back you can take for a person, but coming closer you will understand that this is a monster, but it will be too late. The core of it is located in the same place where people have a heart. Can hunt animals or livestock. It lives in the forests near the Ahoen Mountain and is found in the dark elf empire. - The professor told about the monster.

You could see that this monster sniffed and saliva dripped from her mouth onto the floor, starting to scratch the floor with her claws. Professor Craig pulled the chain a couple of times and Mara calmed down.

- And yes, these monsters have male and female beginnings in front of you is a woman. But do not underestimate them because they are women, they do not own magic, but their speed will be envied by magicians. - Craig addressed the class in a serious warning voice.

Looking at Mara, I could only imagine her masculinity and I was already scared.

Seeing the reaction of the class, Professor Craig, pleased, led Mara back to the cage and locked him back in the center of the class.

- How could you notice that she looked partially like a human and you had the idea that this was some kind of race? - Professor Craig asked, looking around the classroom.

Watching the faces of the Stufons change, the professor smiled at them and winked and went to another cage. I was already scared that there could be scarier in the cage than Mara.

Opening the cage, Professor Craig carefully took the chain and a creature that looked like a bird appeared from the cage, but instead of the usual bird head, it had a human head. Staring at her and blinking a couple of times, I couldn't help but look at Hugh who was covering her mouth with her hands, looking at the class, everyone had a similar expression that me and Hei.

- I present to you Garyun, a unique monster understands the speech of any of the races and can reproduce it, but now why is he not in the mood. The monster is not aggressive, but if you attack it, aim at the eyes, they know how to look into the future for a second with them. They hunt animals at night, but they can also hunt races if they wander into their territory. The core is located in the middle of the chest. He has air magic and flies very fast. Weakness day they sleep. - Observing an even more shocked expression, the satisfied professor returned Garyun to the cage.

Looking around, he couldn't help but shake his head they're too impressionable yet.

But it will pass after some time, maybe after a six-month trial, he did not know, but he tried to prepare them for different monsters.

- No Mara and Garyun are not a forgotten or vanished race, they have always been monsters. - Professor Craig said with sadness in his voice.

I could not think that such monsters could live in our world and which ones still live about which I do not know. An incomprehensible warmth began to appear in me, it was not fear. Maybe expectations? No, it was more a thirst to face these monsters.

- Professor Craig, you didn't say where they live. - There was a question from one of the stufons.

Smiling Professor Craig nodded at the remarks.

- They live in the cursed forest of the High Elves.- Professor Craig replied.

Surprised voices were heard, everyone remembered that one of the departed races were the higher and forest elves. But the fact that such monsters lived in the forest of the high elves surprised everyone. It was possible to notice how one person still pulled his hand.

- Stufon do you have a question? - Professor Craig asked, allowing the one who raised his hand to stand up.

Having risen, the man began to feel the gazes on him from other stufons.

- Professor Craig, what does the cursed forest mean? - Asked stufon.

The professor looked attentively at Stufon and looked at the rest of the class with a smile.

- The cursed forest, which means that any representative of the races who entered there no longer leaves it. Also in this forest there is a constant fog in which to see how something moves. - Professor Craig explained.

Thinking about the cursed forest of the High Elves, I couldn't help but think that there might be something hidden there.

- Professor, but the High elves have been gone for a long time, can any spell last that long? - The dark elf asked with interest from the spot.

The professor shifted his gaze to her, shaking his head at her answer.

- You're right, any spell would begin to weaken over time and magicians would be able to find a place where the spell has a weak spot to break. - Professor Craig said.

It was possible to notice how everyone's faces became gloomy, if this is not a spell, then what is it?

- We do not know for sure what is hidden there, but the high elves were versed in magic, we assume that the fog supports an artifact or a curse of the cursed swordsman. - Professor Craig said thoughtfully.

Hearing that it could be the curse of a cursed swordsman, I couldn't help but wonder if I could make a place that has been maintained for centuries.

But most of all I wondered what was hidden in this forest.

- Therefore, it remains for us to catch such monsters that wander to the exit from the forest to find out what species live there. - Professor Craig said with a stern look.

I may have to visit this forest and go to the high Elf kingdom to enhance my magic. After hearing how the professor sums up the lesson and gives tasks, I waited until all the stufons left and only Professor Craig remained.

Seeing that there was only one stufon left from the elite class, Professor Craig did not attach any importance to this, but when the half-elf approached him, he had doubts about how accidentally he waited until everything was gone.
