Souta immediately understood that the person inside the control wasn't someone to be trifled with. He gulped and glanced at Yanagi who was looking at him with an excited expression.

"Can I?" Yanagi had stars in her eyes. If she didn't have a deal with Souta, she would have gone and fight the person inside the control room.

Before he could answer her the person inside the room said something.

"It's hard to use the defensive mechanism without an assistant. If there's someone who could help then you wouldn't be able to come here."

A silhouette could be seen in the smoke. After a few moments, the person came out and revealed her appearance. She was a tall and s.e.xy woman. Her waist was thin but her bust was small.

"Teacher Sun!"

"Why are you...?!"

The surrounding teachers were stunned when they saw the woman. They couldn't believe what they saw.

The teacher named Sun glanced at the teachers and apologized, "I'm sorry everyone. I actually like this place but we had other plans. Don't worry, we won't kill anyone."

'She's controlling the defensive mechanism alone...? So that's the reason... I thought that the mechanism didn't work properly...' Souta thought while looking at the woman. He silently placed his hand on the handle of the vajra sword.

"We're lucky that the other teachers are either with the principal or fighting the people in the city," Sun said as she looked at the barrier in the sky.

"Do it, Yanagi. I'll leave her to you." Souta said as he knew that this teacher will stand in his way if he wanted to complete the quest in his system. He was sure that Teacher Sun was with the group of people who got the barrier device.

"Ehe~" Yanagi chuckled as her mana started to seep out of her body. In just a few seconds, the entire place was filled with her mana.

"Well, it can't be helped." Sun sighed as she glanced at Yanagi and Souta.

Boom!

Yanagi suddenly charged forwards and dragged Sun's face on the ground with powerful force. They crashed into the building at the side causing vast destruction on their path.

The battle between two A-rank started.

Souta glanced at the battle one more time before he strode inside the control room.

"This...?"

He found that the defensive mechanism was already destroyed. It seems that Teacher Sun didn't want them to use the defensive mechanism against her group.

"There's no use. We couldn't use this to help fight back those traitors."

He sighed as he massaged his temples. He knew that if the people who weren't familiar with the institute invade this place then it wouldn't cause this much damage. The group of people who attacked the institute knew the ins and outs of this place like the back of their hands. It was really a troublesome group.

Souta turned around and found that the teachers were in a daze. They still couldn't get over that there were traitors among them.

"Fulfil your responsibility as a teacher..."

He then left before they could react to his words. He just wanted them to help the other people who were fighting the traitor. If they helped then it would make his quest easier.

...

Swoosh!

Souta arrived at the battlefield in the area of the third-year students. At this moment, more than ten battles were happening in this place.

"They are really preventing people from going deeper in the third-year area." A grin appeared on Souta's face. He was about to charge forward when he heard Saya's voice in his head.

'Behind you, Souta!'

He trusted her so he jumped to the side as soon as he heard her voice. He turned his head and saw a figure crashed on his previous position.

Boom!

A person walked out of the smoke. He was a tall man with a large physique. He has short spiky orange-colored hair and orange eyes. This man was Wesler, the top 11 ranker in the whole institute.

Souta looked up and saw a woman above Wesler.

The woman was wearing a katana. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail. She was wearing a mini skirt with black stockings and a blouse of the institute. The shoulder part of her blouse had an eagle symbol.

He knew it. Those students who had an eagle symbol on their uniform was a member of the student council and this woman was the current student council president, Mai Reviry.

Mai slashed her katana but two people appeared beside Wesler and blocked her attack.

Clang!

Mai took a distance from them and glanced at Souta. "Are you okay, junior?" She asked him.

"I'm fine," Souta replied to her as he waved his hand. He then saw another two figures appeared beside Wesler. This group of people was in the top rankers of the institute.

The top 11, Wesler.

The top 14, Yaosi.

The top 17, Cyndi.

The top 20, Clandis.

The top 21, Duan Kun.

They were all big shots of the institute and it seems that their strength was stronger than what they've shown before. If their strength wasn't stronger than their rank then Mai, who was at the top 4 could destroy them easily.

"Even you, Cyndi! Why are you doing this?!" Mai shouted at the woman named Cyndi. Cyndi was also a member of the student council. She was her secretary.

"I'm sorry, president." Cyndi apologized to her.

"Enough talk!" Yoasi said as he charged towards Mai. He shot a punch full of mana at her.

Boom!

Mai easily dodged his punch by shifting her body to the side. The power within the punch created a crater on the ground.

Boom!

The five people surrounded Mai and begin to launch fierce attacks.

'You're not going to help her?' Saya asked Souta.

'Nope, it's better for me if she hold these people.' Souta replied as he turned around. He thought that he could easily leave this place but he was wrong.

Wesler who was fighting Mai turned around and dashed in his direction.

"Junior, behind you!" Mai shouted as she warned Souta about Wesler. She then received a lightning arc from her opponents.

Boom!

"Hmm...?" Souta slightly turned his head. He saw the top 11 rushing at him like a madman.

He then heard a sound in his mind and a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him.

*Ding!*

[Quest Triggered!]

[Help]: Mia, the student council president, urgently need help. She's fighting five strong foes. Lend her a hand and defeat at least one of her opponents.

Rewards: 10,000 exp, 4 skill points, and 8 free attribute points

Souta ignored it as he quickly pulled out the vajra sword and poured his mana in it.

Bang!

Wesler's fist collided with his sword that created small shockwaves around them. Wesler frowned when he saw this so he took a distance away from Souta to observe him.

"Oh...? You're really strong, first year." Wesler said as he looked at Souta from head to toe. Everyone in the institute knew the infamous first year who made a name for himself in various incidents. The most recent incident was the Legion War.

He couldn't let his guard down against this man.

Souta looked over at Mia and saw that she was doing good in fighting four people. "Hey, Miss President I'll handle this man." He then turned to Wesler and asked, "You're rank 11, right? If I defeat you then I could probably dominate the third year..."

"Hey, Wesler! Do you need help?" Cyndi asked.

"No, you just focus your attacks to defeat the President. As long as you defeat her..." Wesler shook his head.

Suddenly, Souta launched himself at Wesler with a wide grin on his face.

"What are you babbling about?! You'll die if you don't focus on your opponent!"

He opened his palm and tried to grab Wesler's face. Wesler was surprised at Souta's aggressive nature but it didn't prevent him from avoiding his opponent's attack.

Swoosh!

"That's close..." Wesler said while looking at Souta's palm beside his face.

Using his other hand, Souta pulled out the vajra sword and slashed it at Wesler.

Swoosh!

Wesler saw it so he quickly crossed his arms in front of him. He gathered his mana to cover his upper body.

Boom!

The slash blasted him on the nearby building.

[Agility Boost]!

[Strength Boost]!

[Cat's Speed]!

[Triple Muscle Strengthening]!

[Shadow Cloak]!

[Gravitational Ball]!

Souta activated his combat arts and spell as he chased after Wesler who crashed in the building. He planned to finish this battle as soon as possible. He wouldn't give his opponent a chance to fight back.

"Ehe~ just lie down so that you won't suffer."

"Wesler!" Clandis shouted as she ran towards the two but Mia blocked her path by sending powerful sword waves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Mia landed in front of her and said, "You won't be able to help him. I don't know what's your goal but my duty is to protect this institute and capture the traitors."
