Chapter 183 183

Benjiro and the teachers quickly exited the school building after they heard a loud crash from outside that made the area around them vibrate. Their faces darkened when they saw the number of high-level monsters that had appeared on the school grounds, especially the minotaurs.

The monsters attacked the people around them brutally. Apart from that, they also destroyed everything in the environment, including the booths in the schoolyard.

"I will fight the seven minotaurs. I'll leave the rest up to you. you can ask the second and third-year students to deal with low-level monsters." Benjiro looked at the teachers and gave them instructions.

"We understand, principal!" Hayate and the other teachers answered in unison. After that, they quickly spread out in all directions from the school grounds to deal with the monsters. Just as Benjiro was about to act against the minotaurs, he heard footsteps approaching him.

That person is Kirika. She came with Fumiko, Akihiko and Satoru. Kirika immediately left the stage after she saw a colossal portal appear in the sky and seven gigantic objects suddenly falling to the ground.

"Mr. Benjiro! What do you want to do?" Kirika approached Benjiro and asked.

"It's a coincidence that you're here, miss Kirika. I intend to fight the seven Minotaurs. I want to ask for your help to protect the students and visitors. Please don't let those monsters come near the school building." Benjiro answered.

"What!?" Satoru and the others were shocked when they heard that.

Kirika and the others knew Benjiro was strong because he was one of Japan's Realizers in the Star Cluster phase. But they thought his actions would be reckless if he wanted to fight seven sixth-level monsters by himself.

"That's dangerous, principal! We should wait for reinforcements from the organization!" Satoru objects to Benjiro's plan.

"How long do we have to wait for reinforcements? We can't contact anyone outside this school because we've been isolated. The people who brought these monsters have covered this area with a barrier, so we can't escape or call for help. They intend to kill us in this place.

If we wait for reinforcements to arrive without doing anything, the number of casualties will be enormous. Besides, we can't stay on the defensive because the barrier covering the school building won't last long." Benjiro said with a solemn face.

Satoru and the others fell silent because their situation was precisely what Benjiro had said. They had tried to contact their respective organizations for reinforcements. Unfortunately, they could not do it because their telecommunications signal was interrupted. Kirika and the others quickly noticed something odd about their current situation.

"But..." Satoru still couldn't accept that. But before he could finish his words, Benjiro opened his mouth again.

"This is my decision! So you don't have to say anything. You are the vice president of the student council. So it would be best to focus on your duty to protect students, especially first-year students. Do you understand?" Benjiro looked at Satoru and said seriously.

"I understand, principal!" Satoru answered in the affirmative. He couldn't do anything about it after seeing the determination in Benjiro's eyes.

Even though his actions seemed reckless and dangerous, Satoru knew it was the best countermeasure they could devise. If the seven Minotaurs were allowed to rampage as they pleased, then the toll on students and visitors would be unimaginable, and their next target would be the school building. So sooner or later, Benjiro will have to fight the minotaurs.

Satoru hoped that Benjiro could hold off the monsters long enough and buy time for reinforcements from the organization to arrive. He was sure the Realizers from Holy Union would know what was happening in this school.

"That's good!" Benjiro nodded in satisfaction after hearing Satoru's reply and turned his eyes to Kirika.

"So, can you help me protect the students at Suisei High School? You can think of it as an extension of our contract. You couldn't perform at the cultural festival because of this incident so I request you to protect them. Even though you are young, I can feel that you are quite strong. You are at least a Realizer in the moon phase." Benjiro repeated his request to Kirika.

Satoru was shocked when he heard Benjiro's words. He felt their ages weren't much different, but Kirika had already stepped into the Moon phase. Satoru didn't expect that the girl was not only a popular idol but also a powerful Realizer.

"You don't need to think about it in this situation. I feel that my strength is nothing in front of you, but I will try my best to protect the students in this school." Kirika quickly agreed to Benjiro's request.

She was a Realizer from the League of Heroes, and it was her duty to fight against the monsters and people of the terrorist organization. Kirika doesn't want anyone else to lose their family and suffer the same fate as her. Because of that, she became a Realizer.

"Thank You. You don't have to push yourself too hard. All you need to do is protect the students as much as possible and leave the rest to me. Is there anything you need? I heard your unique ability requires an object or creature as an intermediary to fight." Benjiro felt happy after hearing Kirika's answer. One additional Realizer in the moon phase will significantly impact the course of the battle against the monsters.

"You just need to kill the monsters and bring them before me. But I only accept fourth-level monsters and below because I can't control above that level with my current strength." Kirika replied.

Satoru was confused by Kirika's ability but didn't dare ask any further since it was something sensitive for a Realizer.

"Alright. Then, you have to wait here. I will have the teachers bring the monsters they defeated to you. I will face the minotaurs now that they are approaching this place." Benjiro said and sent a message to the teachers using his dimension watch. Afterward, he manifested his Phantasmal Object, and his weapon took the form of a saber with a jet-black color.

Phantasmal name : Jagged Saber (Acheron)

Grade : A – Rank

After he manifested his Phantasmal Object, Benjiro darted to one of the nearest minotaurs and slashed his saber. The monster looked at Benjiro and grinned. Then the Minotaur met his opponent's attack with his axe.

Booooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

Their weapons collided, creating an intense shockwave that destroyed the surrounding area. The minotaur was shocked that Benjiro wasn't blown away after clashing with him. The monster was confident in its brute strength, but the tiny insect in front of it blocked its attack. The minotaur got annoyed and swung his ax again, but Benjiro easily parried it.

Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The monster became angry because he couldn't beat Benjiro back. After that, the minotaur increased its attack speed, and they exchanged moves dozens of times instantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Amazing!" Kirika said in awe as she watched the battle. Although Benjiro's size is only one-fifth of a minotaur, their strength is equal.

"As expected of a Realizer in the Star Cluster phase." Fumiko nodded and added.

"Then, I will also help!" Akihiko suddenly said. When he heard Kirika's words to Benjiro, he wanted to show off his skills and impress her. After all, he was also a Realizer in the moon phase.

Akihiko ran over to one of the orcs around them and manifested his Phantasmal Object. His weapon is a short heavy club with a spiked and reddish color.

Phantasmal name : Malice Cudgel (Acheron)

Grade : C – Rank

Akihiko jumped up and swung his weapon at the orc. The movement was swift, and the monster did not have time to respond. His attack fell on the orc's head and smashed it like a watermelon.

After killing the orc, Akihiko looked at Kirika and puffed out his chest proudly. Unfortunately, the girl was fighting the goblins and didn't see his action.

"Damn!" Akihiko clicked his tongue in annoyance. He looked at some goblins around him and swung his cudgel at them to vent his emotions.

Kirika and the others didn't care what Akihiko thought because they were busy fighting the monsters that suddenly came to attack them. Kirika fought on the back while controlling some goblin corpses to fight the orcs.

With her current strength, Kirika could only control five fourth-level monsters. Of course, those monsters could only fight using their physical attacks and couldn't unleash their unique abilities. So Kirika couldn't make the Wyverns shoot fireballs while she was controlling the monster.

Satoru and Fumiko fought at the front while protecting Kirika. Fumiko's Phantasmal Object is called a Mithril staff with rank D. Even though the grade is low, Fumiko is a Realizer in the asteroid phase.

They prevented the monsters from getting close to Kirika because she wasn't good at close combat. The girl was strong because she could control the monsters as her soldiers, but her physical strength was weak. So Kirika couldn't fight the monsters head-on, even if they were goblins.

During the battle, Kirika swapped the corpses of the monsters she controlled. At first, she used goblins as her soldiers. Then Kirika turned them into an orc, and now she commands two Wyverns and three Orcs after getting the monster's corpse from the teachers.

Satoru and some of the students in the venue were amazed when they saw the way Kirika was fighting. The girl was not only good at entertaining others but also killing monsters.

Their battle against the monsters became increasingly fierce. The students from the second and third years came out of the school building one after another to help them. Kirika and the others blocked the orcs and harpies, trying to approach the place. But they were overwhelmed because their numbers were far less than the monsters that came. Therefore, a few orcs managed to get past their guard and dashed into the school building to destroy it.

"Stop the Orcs!" Kirika shouted, but Satoru and the others couldn't respond as they were busy fighting the monsters.

Kirika gritted her teeth when she saw that. She wanted to prevent the monsters from getting near the school building, but she had difficulty fighting off the wyverns and harpies attacking from the sky.

Kirika tried to move one of the monsters under her control to fight the orcs. But it was too late because the distance between her and the monsters was quite far. If the Orcs attacked simultaneously, the barrier on the building might break, and other monsters would easily enter the place.

If that happened, the number of casualties would be dire as most students and visitors hid inside the building.

"No!" Kirika screamed to stop the monsters, but there was no way they would listen to her.

The orcs punched the barrier simultaneously. But before their attacks landed on the school building, half of them suddenly froze, and the vines pierced the rest.
