Chapter 91: Captives
“Bang!”
A violent wave of air rose from the ground.
It spread out in the shape of a ring.
The fierce flames were like a pillar as they shot straight into the sky.
The power of this spell could be seen from far away.
Many students in the distance were still puzzled. Had there been an invasion in the Academy?
It was impossible. The Dean, a Saint-rank mage, hadn’t even moved yet. How could there be an invasion?
The terrifying pillar of flames was burning.
The spectating students had already retreated far away when the flaming hand landed.
Even though they weren’t affected by it, but their vision was also obstructed, and they couldn’t see clearly what was happening on the battlefield.
“Boom!”
The pillar of flames let out a loud sound.
The sound seemed as if it wanted to burn everything.
The flames continued to burn, and even if they were far away, the students could also feel the boiling temperature.
Many students swallowed their saliva.
If this attack hit, there shouldn’t be anyone under the saint-rank who could withstand it with his physical body and survive, right?
Perhaps only Leighton, who was covered in cracks from Thor’s two punches just now, could withstand it.
However, everyone saw there were no changing emotions on Thor’s face after seeing this spell.
She wasn’t worried at all about Hermione being hit by a Tier 9 spell.
It was as if… She didn’t care at all!
No way, right? How could she be so calm?
This was the strongest single-target attack spell of the elemental-type!
Your companion was hit. Aren’t you worried at all?
That person was obviously an assassin! She’s not a monster like you who has a physical body as tough as a Tier 9 warrior’s!
Many people guessed that the toughness of Thor’s physical body had already reached the level of some magic beasts.
In terms of muscle development, magic beasts were naturally superior to humans.
Therefore, many people would use the flesh and blood of beasts to nutrify themselves and make their bodies develop in that direction.
However, such a warrior would usually have a strong figure and build, even a girl would become full of muscles.
It was basically unheard of that someone as petite and cute as Thor could achieve such strength.
“Rumble!”
The flames continued to burn.
Just when everyone, including Old Thompson, was staring at the middle of the battlefield, thinking that Hermione who was hit by a spell was there, an ethereal voice suddenly came from behind Old Thompson.
“Hey, what are you looking at?”
The appearance of this voice immediately made Old Thompson’s hair stand on end.
Then, a familiar short blade was placed on his neck.
“As expected, it’s best to kill you first. It’s the most convenient way.”
Facing Hermione, who suddenly appeared behind Old Thompson, the crowd seemed to be in disbelief.
The entire scene fell silent in an instant.
This outcome seemed to have exceeded the expectations of most people.
Everyone thought that after Hermione was hit by this Tier 9 spell, there was a high probability that she would be burnt to ashes.
However, they did not expect that in an instant, she would appear behind Old Thompson.
What the f*ck…
Many students could not help but spit out profanities.
This wasn’t an ordinary spell!
This was the Tier 9 Fire God’s Left Hand!
Old Thompson had used his own spiritual power to lock onto Hermione.
But unexpectedly, Hermione’s speed was so fast that even spiritual power couldn’t lock onto her.
One had to know that a mage’s spiritual power was usually very difficult to shake off.
Spiritual power was like a magic eye, providing the mage with directions at any time.
The higher the rank of the mage, the harder it was to get rid of his spiritual power.
But once one did get rid of it, the spiritual power would lose its effect.
That mage could only passively take a beating.
This speed was simply godly!
Many students who specialized in assassins also opened their eyes wide at this moment.
What kind of speed was this, to be able to shake off the tracking spiritual power of a Tier 9 mage?
Generally speaking, assassins of the same level wouldn’t be able to shake off the spiritual power of mages of the same level, unless the difference in strength between the two parties was too great, or the assassin’s speed was so fast that even the mage’s spiritual power couldn’t keep up.
However, regardless of which, the requirements to achieve them were extremely harsh.
These students who specialized in assassins looked at Hermione with their eyes filled with admiration at this moment!
They didn’t expect Hermione to actually be able to dodge it. Was this even the speed of a human!?
“I actually lost…”
Old Thompson stood up at this moment. He felt that it wasn’t quite real. He didn’t even dare to believe it.
He had rehearsed countless plans and actions in his mind previously, but the other party had directly cracked them by just relying on speed?
Facing an assassin of such a level, it was indeed not unjustified to lose.
The desire to resist in Old Thompson’s eyes gradually disappeared.
In fact, there was one thing he did not know.
Even if Hermione was hit, she could also directly use Void Transformation to dodge the damage.
Elementalists basically could not harm Hermione.
Now, he was no match for her, nor could he run from her.
There was no other choice but to surrender.
On the side, Leighton saw that his old friend had already given up resisting, thus he also removed his combat aura weapon and warrior skill instantly.
Actually, Leighton didn’t want to admit defeat at first, but when he realized that he had been beaten up so badly with just two punches, he didn’t find a point in continuing.
He should just admit defeat earlier.
He was an earth-element warrior, and he wasn’t good in terms of agility. He was only good at defense.
As for Thor’s team, from the beginning, Hermione’s speed was probably so fast that even if he used all his strength, he wouldn’t be able to touch her.
They couldn’t hit one of them, and couldn’t defeat the other.
What could they do?
Seeing the two of them admitting defeat, Thor looked at Hermione, her palm moving back and forth at her throat.
The meaning was very obvious.
Previously, Hermione had said that she wanted to kill them, so did she still want to kill them now?
But just as Hermione was prepared to think about how to safely kill these two people, Autumn hurriedly rushed over from the crowd.
“Wait a minute! You’re not allowed to be so high-profile in the Academy. I told you from the start!”
Autumn looked at the two of them and felt helpless.
Good heavens, so the two of you were really planning on killing two Tier 9 instructors? Do you think they’re cabbages that you can dig up as you like?
Anyone who could reach Tier 9 was someone who had hopes to reach the Saint-rank.
The Academy would never give up on these two instructors.
If Hermione and Thor were impulsive, it would be difficult for them to leave the Magic Academy…
That was why Autumn was kind enough to come calm them down.
At the same time, Autumn was still complaining in her heart.
If it wasn’t for the mission, she wouldn’t have cared about these two idiots.
“But they said bad things about Master. It’s best to kill them.”
Hermione’s tone was very natural.
When they were in the castle, a team of kingdom guards had mocked Eddie.
They were then cursed by Hermione, and immediately fell ill after returning to the imperial capital, and their strength even dropped.
In addition to the debt they owed from gambling, they were now estimated to be living a life even worse than that of an ordinary person’s.
For such a rookie, even the method of handling was as such, let alone these two people who had said it twice.
They must be properly punished!
Otherwise, did they really think that anyone could casually mention their Master?
