Chapter 102: Isis Carbert and the Silver Flash
“Haa… haa…”
“Darn it… why… why is this happening…”
“N-No… I don’t want to die…”
Several people ran across the Sabnok Plains, their breath ragged, their voices filled with despair.
Their destination: the entrance to the plains, the exit from this hell.
“Hurry! Don’t stop your feet!”
“B-But… Senpai…”

“If you stop, you’ll die! You don’t want to become food for the monsters, do you? Then run!”
A woman disguised as a man led the way, encouraging those behind her. They enhanced their physical abilities with magic, but despite their fatigue, they desperately moved their legs.
They were a group of about ten people, all students of the Royal Academy.
From deep within the Sabnok Plains, they fled towards the entrance with all their might.
(Why… why did the monsters suddenly appear…!)
Although she is a girl, she wears a boy’s uniform, and her name is Isis Carbert. She was a third year student and was the leader of the student council executive committee.
As part of the rescue team, Isis encountered a horde of monsters suddenly pouring out from the depths of the plains while trying to escape with the students.
The cause was unknown.
From the depths of the Sabnok Plains, a territory of monsters known as Sabnok, monsters suddenly appeared.
Not one or two, but dozens, even hundreds of monsters emerged.
While accidents were expected as part of their duties in the rescue team… this was an unforeseen event.

Isis led as many students as possible out of the depths of the plains.
But there were still many students left behind, as well as members of the rescue team who stayed to hold back the monsters.
Nevertheless, Isis abandoned them as the best option, picking up only those who could be saved.
(I’m sorry… I’m sorry… If only I had more power…!)
Isis was a top-class mage in her third year of the magic department.
Already confirmed to become a court magician, she was one of the most promising young talents on the elite path.
However, even with Isis’s power, all she could do in this situation was run.
She returned to the entrance of the plains while protecting about ten students she managed to take with her.
“Get out of the way!”
“Gah!?”
Ad
“Hurry! Faster!”
Using magic to defeat the monsters that appeared in front of them, Isis urged the other students to go ahead.
The escaping students were filled with exhaustion, unable to fight anymore.
If Isis didn’t protect them, they wouldn’t be able to break through the plains.
“Screeeeeeeech!”
“Ah…!”
At that moment, a scream like that of a monstrous bird echoed from above.
Descending from above was a monster from the depths of the plains: a giant snake with wings on its back.
“Oh no…”
At that moment, a female student who was running behind fell down.
She was a second-year student from the magic department, a junior whom Isis knew.
“Yulia!”
Then… Isis made a wrong decision.
To protect the fallen female student, she stopped and turned back.
(What am I doing…! I…)
If she were to make a rational judgment, she should have abandoned her.
Isis had the responsibility to flee with the students present here. She shouldn’t have made a judgment that would put everyone else in danger for the sake of one person.
“This…!”
“Senpai…!”
“Shaaaaaa!”
As the junior she helped up clung to her, Isis tried to confront the giant snake somehow.
“Eh…!?”
However, at that moment, a silver flash streaked through.
An arrow of light flew from somewhere and pierced through the face of the giant snake.
“What…!?”
Isis understood. That attack was magic.
But where…? She turned her gaze in the direction the light came from and saw a tiny figure in the distance.
(Impossible… Did they shoot from that place!? At this distance!?)
Even with her enhanced vision by magic, Isis couldn’t make out who the person far away was.
One thing was clear: that person surpassed Isis by far in terms of magic ability… no, they were a magician of a level beyond.
Ad
“Shaaaa!”
The giant snake was still alive.
But shot after shot of the silver flashes pierced through its wings, bringing it crashing down to the ground.
“Run! Hurry!”
“Yes…!”
Isis grabbed her junior’s hand and dashed forward, following the backs of those who had fled ahead.
(I’m sorry… no, thank you… I’ll repay this gratitude with all my might someday…!)
Isis expressed heartfelt gratitude to the unknown person.
Perhaps the silver flash from earlier had blown away not only fear but also her anxiety and impatience… Isis’s heart was clear.
“Senpai… are you okay?”
“I-I’m fine…”
Instead… Isis’s heart was pounding for reasons other than fatigue.
It would be some time before Isis realized the true nature of those feelings.
