Chapter 98: Rescue to the End
When Rest arrived at the location where the distress signal had been raised, he found three male and female students who appeared to be senior students from the magic department being attacked by a black-furred horned bear.
Without waiting for his comrades to arrive, Rest immediately began the rescue operation. They cast attack magic towards the horned bear.
“Wind Blade!”
The wind blade sliced through the bear’s face.
However, the damage was minimal. It seemed to be blocked by its tough fur.
But then, the horned bear that had been attacking the female student turned its attention towards Rest, glaring at him with its glowing red eyes.
“Come.”

“Graaaaaah!”
Although it didn’t understand human language, the horned bear charged at Rest.
This horned bear was a considerably strong monster. At least, it wasn’t something that students before graduation would normally encounter.
(Is it just bad luck that they encountered such a strong monster, or are more powerful monsters appearing this year than usual?)
The faculty would have investigated beforehand, so it was probably the former.
Putting aside thoughts that couldn’t be helped, Rest focused on the battle.
“Grrrr!”
“Super Acceleration!”
He dodged the claw attack by quickly moving at high speed.
He circled around behind the horned bear and delivered a counter blow.
“This monster isn’t something that can be defeated with low-level magic. To defeat it, I’ll need advanced magic, or…”
Ad
“Wind Blade!”
The magic he cast was the same “Wind Blade” as before.
However, this time, it was a quartet layered with three other magic spells: “Amplification,” “Compression,” and “Acceleration.”
The wind blade, now enhanced to a level equivalent to advanced magic or higher, severed the horned bear’s neck almost at point-blank range.
“Yeah, this should do it.”
“Graaaaah!”
Although Rest had defeated the horned bear, another one emerged from the nearby woods and attempted to bite Rest’s back.
“Watch out!”
The female student he was rescuing shouted.
But Rest didn’t panic. There wasn’t time to panic.
Ad
“I knew it.”
“Yaaargh!?”
The horned bear that was about to attack stumbled and fell.
Its leg got caught in a hole about a meter deep that Rest had created with the magic “Earth Control.”
As Rest always activated the magic “Presence Detection,” the surprise attack didn’t work.
“Fireball!”
Similarly, he cast the enhanced magic quartet at the head of the second horned bear.
Its head exploded, and it was blown away.
“Well, that’s that.”
The presence of the monsters disappeared. The battle was over.
Rest turned to the three magic department students who were a little further away.
“Are you all okay?”
“Umm… You’re… a first-year, right? To defeat that monster by yourself…”
“Yeah, students in the Executive Department are amazing even in their first year… We couldn’t defeat it even with three of us…”
The three seemed somewhat dejected.
Rest lightly apologized, “It’s not that big of a deal,” and then applied healing magic to them.
All three had received some injuries, but they were all injuries that Rest could deal with.
“More importantly… Why were you attacked by that monster? Such creatures shouldn’t be near the entrance to the plains…”
The Sabnock Plains were known as a habitat for monsters called the “Demon Realm.”
The more towards the center of the plains, the stronger the monsters, while the outskirts only had weak monsters.
The horned bear from earlier was originally a powerful monster that would be found near the center.
“I don’t know… We didn’t intend to fight such a strong monster, but it suddenly appeared.”
“I thought I was going to die… Thank you so much…”
“You’re welcome. Well then, we’re going to another spot…”
“Rest, you bastard…!”
At that moment, Danila finally arrived.
A little later, another companion, Thomas, also arrived.
“You’re fast, aren’t you… leaving us behind…”
“You’re the one who started the competition… Anyway, let’s hurry and meet up with Yugroot-senpai…”
As Rest started to speak, they stopped.
Ad
A distress signal had appeared in the sky.
It wasn’t just one line of smoke drawn in the sky. There were two, three in succession.
“Hey, distress signals…!”
“They’re increasing rapidly! From deep in the plains!”
Danila and Thomas exclaimed in surprise.
Rest, still looking up at the sky, furrowed his brows in bewilderment.
“This is clearly abnormal. What’s happening…?”
No matter how dangerous the Monster Hunting Festival might be, this was an unprecedented situation.
“Danila, Thomas. Both of you, accompany these three and return to the entrance of the plains.”
“Hey, what about you…?”
“I’ll meet up with Yugroot-senpai and ask for instructions… Since you lost in the race, just follow the instructions without complaining.”
Putting a firm tone to Danila’s displeased expression, Rest enhanced his physical abilities with magic and began to run.
