"Ahhh..." Marley was out of words after hearing this unknown boy's cursing, as were Ana and Lily. They had never heard anyone say such things before.

Still, Marley got his wits back, knowing he was superior to them in status. "How Dare-"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence, but suddenly their carriage came to a halt, making him almost fall off his seat.

Lily was also about to, but Ana was there to hold her from falling of the seat.

"Ahhh... I hate this. I thought I could at least have a good sleep before attending this stupid academy." The boy rubbed the back of his head, saying it with annoyance.

"Let's go outside, we have a serious issue on our hands." Ana sternly warned Lily and was then ready to take her outside.

"Huh?" The boy, who was conflicted about going outside but got surprised to see Ana take Lily out encouragingly. "Oi, are you really going to sweat over something like this?"

"Yes, I will go outside, I can't put my life in the hands of others." Ana gave a side glance at the boy then left, saying. "Also, you should not advise what others should do. You are a stranger that I don't even know your name of."

The boy got stumped by that. He let out a sigh of helplessness and then walked out too. "She is right, that was excessive of me, and I can't also put my life in other people's hands. Let me go outside to map out an escape route."

Marley was also curious about such actions from them, so he also went outside to check.

Just as he came outside of the carriage, his eyes met with rows and rows of beasts emerging out of the woods. He looked around in panic, and just like them, many carriages had also stopped and had their fellow classmates coming out.

Marley stood behind his carriage's group, not knowing what to do in such a situation. From what he could see, they were ambushed and surrounded from all directions. 'Where are the teachers? Weren't they supposed to come with us? Why are we all alone?'

Like Marley, many people were brooding over this fact. They were born with a golden spoon, and many had to face zero hardship, which is now showing. Even before tackling the issue, they had already given up.

"Man, I have the worst luck today. There is not even a single escape route." Meanwhile, the boy beside Ana brooded over other things.

Ana gave a weird glance at the boy, then quickly retracted it.

"Oi," The boy pointed his finger at Ana, catching her glance. He said it with righteousness. "What is this? Are you seeing me as a weird guy? This is pure bigotry!"

Ana's veins on her forehead finally twitched after hearing this boy spouting nonsense again. She turned around and tried to preach to the boy with anger but failed to do so; instead, she acted cute. "Can you shut up your mouth?"

"Ahhh.." The boy was left speechless, as he didn't know what to say to such cute venting. So, he acted like a gentleman, he put his right hand on his chest and bowed a little. "I am sorry, miss."

'This guy...' Ana didn't expect he would give in so quickly and in such an unconventional way.

The groups beside them saw their charade and discussed it with unfavorable impressions.

"What is wrong with those two? They are having a couple's  quarrel in such a situation."

"These guys have no shame. Watch them die first."

These words entered Ana and the other trio's ears. Lily came in the middle of them and decided to sort things out. "You guys, now is not the place for this. The beasts are approaching; we should defend ourselves first."

Ana and the boy decided to stop it too, as they saw through the corner of their eyes that the beasts were dashing toward them.

Ana looked at the beasts before her and asked the boy. "What is your name? I can't have a nameless boy protecting my back."

"First of all, you don't have to insult me by calling me like that." The boy stretched his arms and said with a calm posture totally different from his past self. "Also, my name is Hueg Kurgast, it's nice to meet you. What are your guys?"

"I am Ana Silveria, and she is my friend, Lily Tarakov." Ana said, nodding her head as she introduced them both.

"I see." Hueg nodded his head and then took out a double-edged sword from his storage ring.

Like every other fantasy world, this world also had storage rings, as that was the best method to carry items and necessary belongings.

Marley, who was behind, got totally ignored by them. But he didn't say anything as these guys were in front and could be used as meat shields for him. 'These fools.'

Lily took out a wooden wand, bracing herself by going behind Hueg as it looked like he was the only one who could fight in close range; she didn't know about Marley's case and didn't even care about it.

Ana glanced at every beast, analyzing what type of element they possessed and their characteristics. 'Forest Gale Tiger, Forest Python, Dire Bear, and Giant Bat. These are just basic-level monsters that could be found just by entering the forest. Taking them out one on one would be easy, but they are in a giant group. This will be hard.'

'The Forest Gale Tiger will attack from long range, the Forest Python is not much as its ability mostly works inside the forest, and the Dire Bear will be the first hurdle as their thick fur and sharp claws will be a big issue. Last but not least, Giant Bat, these things would sneak attack.'

Just as Ana finished her analysis, the beasts were already close to them. She made a hand gesture that was like a finger gun and aimed at the beasts. Resting her thumb scope on the six beasts head, she whispered silently. " [ Star Revolver ]"

Just as she said that, six miniature white balls appeared behind her and then shot toward the six beasts, like a beam.

Puchi(6)

With only one trick, Ana took down multiple beasts, and from the looks of her face, it looked like she had more left in her.

Ana silently said it in her mind. 'Papa, I hope you are watching me.'
