“Watashitachi no nakama o kaese!”

The ‘indecently’ dressed ‘elven’ woman spat out, her bountiful chest shook a little along with her words which caused several of the Tristain Academy boys’ gazes to wander off despite the tense atmosphere, which of course was noticed by some of the female students who gave them a cold look that promised eventual retribution...

The ‘elf’ then slowly pointed her finger at her fellow elf who they had to tie up in case he tries something. It was obvious from her gestures that she wanted him back...

Seeing this, Professor Colbert sighed as he thought back to how it came to this...

~Flashback~

“Haaa? What did you just say? If we hadn’t fired the spells at it, then no one knows what that monster could have done!” A third year academy student shouted at his fellow classmate in rage.

“Are you an idiot? We don’t even know how many of them are there! What if they seek revenge because of our aggression?”

“Aggression? We are not the invaders, they are! This is all those darn infidel elves’ doing! I bet they are planning to invade all of Halkegenia, starting from Tristain!

“Silence!”

Proffesor Colbert rarely used his authority as a teacher over his students as he finds it more productive to teach his students when they are not afraid of him and can relate to him in a personal level. If he had to resort to such means to silence them, then that would mean that something really wrong was going on or was about to happen...

Everyone, including Kirche stood stock still as they, for the first time saw their kind Sensei so serious...

Proffesor Colbert then turned to Tabitha who stood expressionlesly next to her blue dragon familiar, her head burried in a book she was reading.

“Tabitha, you’ve been constantly using the artifact that I’ve given you before we took off on your familiar, am I right?”

With a slight nod from the blue haired girl, he went on,

“Then take Louise with you and fly up as high as you can with your familiar, if I give the blue signal, then I want you both to attack the enemy with everything that you’ve got, if I give you the red signal, then ride back to the Academy as fast as you can and inform the Headmaster Osmond what you have seen.”

As both of the girls understood the code of nobility and the seriousness of the situation, they saw no reason to object.

““Understood!””

Not to mention Professor Colbert’s commanding aura which was overwhelming to say the least...

When the dragon took off with the girls, Professor Colbert turned to his students, his face grim,

“They are coming...”

~Flashback END~

So as a gesture of goodwill, he ordered his students to back away from the ‘prisoner’ who had thankfully only been knocked out by the spells of a couple of his impulsive third years who, without his permission attacked the ‘elf’ in panic, probably because it was the first time for them to see one.

Even though Professor Colbert was quite scared of the ‘elves’ appearing out of nowhere, he wasn’t that biased against them as he had personally witnessed humanity at it’s lowest... Perhaps this was one of the reasons that he chose to teach at the academy, a place where people were still pure...

So after the students retreated a few paces away, the ‘elven’ girl, with a thankful expression, immediately walked towards her unconscious ‘friend’. After checking him for any injuries, she sighed in relief which didn’t escape the notice of the students as they wondered whether all those stories that they heard about elves being savage monsters were true at all... This girl was just really worried about one of her own just like they as nobles worry about their countrymen...

As she ordered her aides to handle the ropes that bound their friend, she turned to face them, her features were a little softer now, probably from appreciating the reality that a conflict wasn’t born out of this.

Seeing this, Proffesor Colbert felt the need to apologize,

“We’re really sorry about this, it was a misunderstanding on our part. We didn’t mean to hurt your friend at all...”

The girl looked as if she somehow understood him as she then let out a hint of a smile, nodding her head which was apparently a universal gesture of understanding, if Colbert’s reciprocation in a similar manner was of any indication.

Proffesor Colbert thought it was wise that they returned to the academy for now. He had to immediately report this to Professor Osmond personally, also the old pervert probably has some kind of artifact that enables communication regardless of the language barrier which they could definitely make good use of to hopefully sort out this mess...

So, with his right index finger, he first pointed at himself then towards somewhere else in the distance which wasn’t that hard to decipher for the female ‘elf’ as she then nodded before turning her back to them as she joined with her group who had already finished preparing to take off.

As they then spread their ‘magic’ wings and took off with a ‘fwowoosh’, heading towards the most magnificent city that Proffesor Colbert had ever laid his eyes on, he stood there muttering absentmindedly,

“These ‘elves’ might wear the strangest of things... But they really do know how to build a city...”
