le influence of the remnants of a poorly done Spirit Summoning. 

“O Water Spirit, this is not where thee ought to be! Release Spirit!”

Flin cast the spell Release Spirit, which was the opposite of Spirit Summoning.

“Gihi!?”

The Water Spirit’s body shook violently—

but that was all.

“Pointless! Do you plan on getting in my way!?”

At the same time the woman waved her hands, a spear of water materialized and flew at Flin’s feet.
She dodged it by a hair’s breadth.

The Water Spirit’s troops were already approaching the lakefront.

Panic spread like wildfire behind Flin.
The students who woke up and exited their tents raised their voices after seeing what was happening.

Flin yelled.

“It’s an enemy! Shoot it with Magic Arrow!”

Right after she spoke, she yelled the words that acted as the trigger.

“Magic Arrow!”

Her arrow flew in a straight line towards the Water Spirit and drilled a hole into the head of her lower-body horse. 

However—

That was all.

The water from the lake streamed into her flesh, healing her wound in the blink of an eye. 

She has regenerative abilities…!

However, it wasn’t in vain.
The quick-thinking students all followed Flin’s lead and fired at the spirit with Magic Arrow.

Many of their shots ended up missing, but several of them hit the mud dolls.
The dolls continued walking, with their wound unchanging.
At the very least, they didn’t seem to regenerate. 

Flin hurled instructions at the students.

“Aim for the mud dolls! You all fall back while shooting Magic Arrows! Do not approach them under any circumstance!”

After she spoke, she returned her gaze to the frenzied spirit in front of her.

She said to retreat, but—

Flin herself had no intention to withdraw.
This Water Spirit was far too dangerous; she couldn’t let her students face it.

The mud golems slipped past Flin’s flank and continued to advance in the direction of the students.

“If you get in my way, you’ll die, human.”

“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t underestimate me.
Despite how I look, I’m quite the skilled magician, you know?”

It was at that moment.

“Buooou!?”

The left side of the Water Spirit’s body exploded in countless red flashes of light.
Unable to withstand the excessive force, the Water Spirit’s body greatly staggered to the right. 

 “I’ll back you up, Ms.
Flin.”

“Blain!?”

The person who appeared was—

Blain Milhis.

The top student among the freshmen, a man named the genius of the next era.

“You can’t! You’re also a student! Retreat along with the other students!”

“Please don’t take more than you can handle.
That Water Spirit is abnormal, and it doesn’t possess regular strength.
It’ll be dangerous if you’re by yourself.”

Flin couldn’t immediately refute Blain, who accurately assessed the situation.

His judgement was correct, to the point where it was unbelievable he was an academy freshman.

This child would undoubtedly be valuable in battle.

But.

“…I’d be happy if I were able to borrow your strength.
You are the dear son of a marquis, as well as the hope of the academy—no, the kingdom. If I let such a promising child get hurt here, Ms.
Flin would end up losing her job.”

Flin laughed jokingly.

However, Blain spoke without relaxing his expression in the slightest.

“It’s alright—I won’t die.
I can’t afford to kick the bucket in a place like this… There’s no way I’m weak enough to die!”

The moment Blain raised his voice, Flin felt the mana dwelling in his body surge.

…The Tragedy of the Milhis Household, huh… If he still tries to fight despite the burden of his past, then I guess he shouldn’t lose his nerve in a trial of this level…

Flin sighed.

“I understand.
But if I tell you to run, then run. Got it?”

“Yes, understood.”

Blain continued as if he was simply stating the facts.

“That’s never gonna happen, though.
