***
Amidst the chaos, Luna's healing magic shone brightly.
Luna swiftly healed the wounded and injured Demon students.
Blood stopped flowing from torn flesh, and new skin grew.
Even if an arm or leg was severed, she could reattach it as long as the cut was clean.
Of course, she couldn't heal broken bones or fatal injuries.
'Only a Saintess can do that.'
It was beyond the realm of what Luna, a Demon, could do.
It was a power akin to a miracle.
I turned my gaze away from the badly injured students and toward a human woman.
'...Impressive.'
The second strongest student among the human students, after Terias.
She was Terias' lover, and she was holding her own against Fron and Samuel.
She commanded the terrified human students with unwavering resolve, leading them against the students of Sytan.
But that was it.
That was her limit.
Clang-!
Sylvia's right arm was devoured by Samuel's Gluttony.
A life-or-death situation where her arm could be torn off.
If even Sylvia, the strongest of them, was in such a state.
What hope did the other human students have?
Sylvia shouted at the human students with a grim expression.
'Everyone, use your Return Scrolls!'
Rip.
At this, the human students tore open the papers they had taken out from their pockets.
Magic scrolls that would summon them back to the Imperial Academy.
A failsafe, prepared in case of an emergency.
Sylvia also tried to use a scroll after shaking off Samuel's Gluttony.
But there were still human students who hadn't escaped the crisis.
A total of eight were dead, and the rest were too injured to move.
Clench.
Sylvia bit her lower lip and stepped forward.
To buy time until they regained their senses and tore their Return Scrolls.
One by one, the human students regained their senses and tore their scrolls.
―!!
It was then that the enraged Demon students charged at Sylvia.
Someone stepped into the space of the crisis where Sylvia and the Demon students were.
Thud.
A male student with copper-colored skin and bright golden hair.
The moment that student smiled.
.
.
.
Whoosh-
My shared vision with Sijo was cut off.
It was because his overwhelming aura had made the connection of mana unstable.
His overwhelming aura was too much for Sijo to handle, and the mana connection became unstable for a moment.
Thud.
At this, my footsteps began to quicken.
Leon Terias.
That guy had run into Samuel's group.
* * *
The battle was going smoothly.
At least, that's what Samuel thought.
Even when the humans used their tricks to escape the battlefield, it was the same.
It was also a moment to grasp the extent of the Sytan's power, and the human bastards had already suffered considerable damage.
On the other hand, there were no Sytan students who had lost their lives.
That didn't mean there were no injured students.
However, thanks to Luna's healing abilities, their wounds were not severe enough to be life-threatening.
On the other hand.
There were eight in total.
That was the number of human students the Sytan students had killed.
If you included those who were seriously injured, the damage to the human bastards would be even greater.
Was that all?
"Ugh..."
Samuel looked down and looked at the human woman who had not run away until the end.
She was a woman with green hair and upright eyes.
She was probably the commander of the humans.
Since Adel was in charge of the instructors, she must have been something like the leader of the human bastards.
"Pathetic."
Samuel clicked his tongue as he watched Sylvia, who was panting from exhaustion, and.
"Gaaaah!"
At the same time, the Gluttony that unfolded from Samuel began to chew on her hand along with the Return Scroll.
Perhaps she had strengthened her arm with mana in the meantime, as her body wasn't being torn apart or anything like that.
However,
The Return Scroll was torn to pieces by Gluttony's teeth and fell to the ground.
"Dammit...!"
Sylvia's face turned blue as her only means of escape disappeared.
With this, Sylvia was completely surrounded by the Sytan students.
Clack, clack.
Fron, with her shoulders raised in triumph, walked out.
"Hoho, human bastards. You're nothing special."
"......You idiot. Haven't you learned that it's forbidden to let your guard down during a battle?"
Samuel's sarcastic words flowed towards the arrogant Fron.
"H, how dare you to me...!!"
Fron's face flushed red with shame at Samuel's twisted attitude.
'Oh, oh, what should I do?'
Luna, who had been watching the fight between the two, opened her mouth with a trembling voice.
"C, calm down for now. Fron. We need to help heal the injured students first, so can't you help?"
“You think you’re lucky!”
Fron grumbled at Luna’s words, but she left to help the students.
Luna, who was usually ignored by the students.
She had now established herself as an indispensable comrade in Class A.
It was the moment when Luna was once again treating the injured.
“……Thank you. I’m sorry for what I did.”
Luke, the student who had bullied Luna with Kyle, apologized.
Luke watched Luna silently treating him.
He thought back to what he had done since Kyle had beaten him up and dropped out.
Luke did not repent his sins all at once, but he was at least a student who could recognize that his actions towards Luna had been wrong.
Luna just smiled brightly and said,
“Don’t worry about it! It’s something I have to do.”
Like that, Luna healed Luke’s body completely.
She then moved on to another student who needed treatment.
Fron bustled about, helping Luna with the treatment.
While the two of them were doing so.
Samuel stared at Sylvia, who was rolling her eyes around.
"I can't let you escape."
"……!!"
As Samuel raised his finger.
Clang, clang, clang-
Hundreds of thorns sprouted around Sylvia, forming the shape of a prison.
If she tried to move, the Gluttony would turn her body into a porcupine.
‘This woman seems to be a useful human being in her own way.’
She would be worth taking to the Demon Realm as a hostage.
Even if not, I could just throw her in the Orgon prison camp.
He was thinking such thoughts when.
Thud, thud, thud-
A man began to walk out of the narrow path.
“What the, that human is.”
The moment a student turned his head.
Zzzzt-.
A cold chill that seemed to freeze everything began to emanate from his body.
