In the morning, I told Lilith to look after the house and take care of mom and make sure not to go too far from the hose while I'm not around.
My day started in a good way till I got to school. Since I wasn't at school the day before, Miya was left by herself all day yesterday and Saki was too excited to be me disciple that she kept my seat clean and empty the day before too.
Other than those to acting like I wasn't at school for a year, everything else was normal
Today the teacher told us that we would go out for another field trip to the out land of the dragon lands. Mr. Tadashi the school's high-ranking graduate from at least 20 years ago would personally teach us how to use our mana and aura in a monster attack.
The out lands were filled with monsters like griffins, chimeras and dragons and most of them were above rank B meaning one person would not be able to take it down unless the person was a hero summoned by the imperial palace.
The are legend that the imperial palace is able to summon people from other universes and are given the powers of the godly being that can take down rank A beast by themselves. But the legend wasn't really that accurate.
Sure, summoning other being from other universe was possible but only in emergencies like maybe a demon god was doing some sort of evil dead that would destroy the worlds balance or even the world itself.
The last time that happened was 500 years ago when the demo lord of the kingdom of the Joramo kingdom was born and to balance of the world was broken.
the demons had too much power and it put the people in danger. then overseers of the world though of putting something in the human's territory to balance the world and prevent it from causing the destruction and extinction of one of these races.
Therefore, they summoned a human from another world to deal with the demon king. The hero called James Harlander was to defeat the demon lord and put the world balance back to its usual place.
When the Demon king died 500 years ago the hero live for about 50 years before he died of old age. The hero's bloodline was made into royalty and placed on the thrown hence creating the creation of the imperial palace was made.
Some still believe that hey imperial palaces king had some power of the hero of 500 years ago, but some believe that if they provoked the imperial palace, they would just summon a hero and order them to kill their foe.
Their influence was spread throughout the land, and they had control over every human kingdom.
We took off and had the whole week to get to the out land, so we were given a chance to go home and get something to carry with us and get our weapons to use for the group take down and the point will be awarded for the amount of contribution given.
I went home and got my sword and some spare clothes to take with me, Mom and Lilith told me to take care of myself, and I took off.
In the carriage taking us to the outland we had to pick groups to participate with and the maximum of the group was supposed to be six.
We already had me Miya and Saki on our team, Kenji had been in the recovery facility for some time and still had not recovered, the responsibility of Miya was given to the teachers, and they said that they would do the best they could to ensure her safety, so we only had three of us.
I thought of recruiting some people for the spots but most of them were either too scared to approach or already had a party to go with.
We decided to wait until the rest chose each other and we would take the left-over people who were either rejected or had no confidence to join the groups that they had no connections with.
The all chose each other, and some were left with only four people that were without a party to go to. I told Miya to tell them to join our group. Miya was the most cheerful person in the group, and she was perfect for the role, but she was so nervus to talk to someone else who wasn't me and Saki was just too serious to be good for that role.
One of the came and introduce himself by himself and wanted to join our party. We accepted him and he was so shocked at that and asked why we never asked what kind of skills he would bring to the group.
We just wanted some people to fil our group and it's not like we were going to do some thin so dangerous that we would die so it was fine as long as they want to join, we would take them in.
He joined and the rest joined as well So, our team had seven members me and three guys. Minato, Makoto and Tatsuya. the girls were Miya, Saki and Hana.
We were off for the outlands to hunt some high ranked monsters. The trip started of great until Tatsuya the guy who came by himself to join our party started annoying the girls and the girls decided to come and seat next to me to get away from him. well Miya and Saki decided that, and Hana was just following their lead.
This made him to back off the girls for a while. It got quiet for some minutes then Tatsuya just had to bring up the story of me beating up the Manami mansions young master, so I was not to be trusted with the young Beauties of the Shinobu house and the Nayami house.
Hana was a commoner, so he didn't care what happens to her but the two nobles of the great house of nobles were in my care the person who injured one of the nobles.
I was surprised to hear that Saki was also a noble, but the annoying thing was that he would not shut up, so I stood up an told him to shut up or he would regret the words he said.
He just kept on talking and provoking me to attack him, but I just let him be for the mean time and planned to deal with him when we got to the outlands.
We got to the outland, and we got of the carriage. We were told to do specific thing and go to specific areas to find the monster that we were supposed to take down.
We were given monsters like giant centipede and ice bears to take down and their locations were already marked on the maps give to us, we on the other hand were given a different monster to take down.
Since the last time we went to hunt down a monster rabbit we came back late, we were told to take down a creature called a gas wivern, a sort of dragon but that spits out gas instead of fire.
Though it wasn't too dangerous because the wivern was considered a child, so it wasn't that powerful.
That made Tatsuya a little overconfident hearing that the monster we were given was a wivern. Wiverns are considered one of the most powerful creatures, when they ae matured they could take down a whole town.
People who took them down were considered to be heroes in their villages and were given a lot of money if they managed to get the skin of the wivern that could be used to make armor that was impenetrable by mere sword and arrows.
We took the mission and started discussions on a choosing a team leader and Tatsuya nominated himself. He kept on blabbing on and on of how he was the one best suited for the role.
He said he was the strongest of the group and ensure that everyone would get a pass on the test.
We gave him the role of being team leader and the first thing he says is that I should be the one carrying every one's gear. This kind of made Miya and Saki mad, Saki was the most furious one, but I just told him that everyone was going to carry their own gear, and no one has more authority than the other in this group.
Everyone agreed to that, and no one carried his gear and just left it on the ground. We headed off the cave that the wivern was living and stopped to make a plan.
The plan that our so-called team leader was that we all play decoy and he would attack alone with his most powerful move.
It sounded like a good plan until I saw that he wasn't planning on using a weapon, he planned to go to go in headfirst with his bare hands to defeat a wivern and last time I checked no kid in this world possesses the power to take down a wivern with their bare hand.
This caused a huge disagreement, but the guy just baled and went to take out the wivern by himself since it was still asleep.
I told everyone to let him go and had another plan. we would wait until Tatsuya to get the wivern attention and lead it out of the cave then we would sneak up behind it and attack. with our most powerful skills on one focused spot.
We waited until we heard a large boom coming from the inside of the cave then we saw him running out of the cave with the wivern behind him. We went behind them and did what we planned and the wivern hat a huge whole from back to front.
The girls and the other were so excited that we took down a wivern and the dimwitted idiot Tatsuya was traying to take the credit for the kill saying it was his plan all along, but then a smell came from the wivern that smelled like it was rotten, but it wasn't possible since we just took it down a few moments ago.
And when I went closer, I hear a heartbeat coming from the beast. I shouted to get away from the wiverns body and just like that it stood up and healed it wounds.
I told everyone but e and Saki to stay behind and dust caused by the wivern roar blocked me and Saki making it perfect to teach Saki a new move that would take down the wivern.
I could take it down myself fairly easily, but it would be too easy, and I would gain anything from beating it since I was already overpowered making a little wivern easy prey for me.
I told Saki to take out her blade and wait for me to get its attention. She was supposed to cut of the neck completely while I destruct it.
I sensed an unusual energy coming from the wivern then I took my sword and hit the wivern with an air slash on the spot that had the most consternated area that the weird energy was coming from.
I slashed it body and found a core that was not so common in monsters, and it didn't look like mana stone, but I told Saki to target the place that I cut open and destroy the core before it regenerated.
She charged up a massive side slash that cut the core and the dragon in half causing the core to explode.
When the teachers and Mr. Tadashi saw this, they rushed over to check, and they found the others and saw us coming from the explosion and was relieved that no one was hurt too badly.
when he asked about the explosion, we told him that the wivern was being controlled by a core that had made it to become undead, but we took care of the core.
This surprised them that we managed to destroy a core made by the mage from the imperial palace.
The wivern was being controlled by some mages from the school and that we weren't supposed to completely destroy it.
but when I told them that we already took it down it came bake up and it wanted to kill us they rushed to see the mages the mages.
