Case 64: Sniping dragons.
🕑 Added 2023-09-30 12:18:34 +0000 UTCI see why they sent students here now, that one dragon is quite big, there's no arena in the vicinity of the academy that could hold a battle of this scale.
But, a blue dragon, huh. My dad has only ever shown me red and yellow ones, stating that he had never encountered anything else other than those.
So blue likely means it's a frost dragon, or water dragon, I'm not too sure. The color of its scale is somewhere between ocean blue and light blue, making it quite hard to predict its exact element.
''How did they even summoned that one?'' Tina asked.
''Probably by combining illusion magic.'' I replied. ''Most of the professors probably joined in on this.''
Needless to say, summoning a whole dragon is very hard. Unlike my dad's dragon, which he just whipped out in just a minute, this dragon here probably required 10 to 15 professors to simulate.
Although my dad sucks at explaining stuff, he is incredibly strong. People call him the best mage in the world currently, and I can personally attest that.
''Hah, just a petty dragon, I could solo that one.'' Liana smugly declared.
Yeah, Liana probably could. But she's getting way too smug recently, do I need to rub my breasts in her face again? But then her ego would get damaged, and I will probably be bullied for the following week, so let's not do that.
I can't win against her in bed either. That's just not possible. I've surrendered to her cock a long time ago.
''Anna.'' Emy suddenly called.
''Hm?'' She replied, still sitting on my laps. It appears that she likes position.
''What kind of dragons did you meet?''
''Ah... The red ones.''
''Noted.''
''Eh? T-Thanks...?''
That was cute.
*ROARRRRR*
There we go, they finally started.
The blue dragon immediately breathes out a huge gush of icy cold air, rendering a third of the students shiver from the low temperature, half of them frozen in place due to their low defenses.
Although the students did stack a lot of barriers together, a dragon's breath is not something that brats at high Intermediate or low Advance could handle.
''NOW!!'' A shout could be heard from the arena.
A girl cladded in light black armor is leading a team of students, plunging towards the dragon's head. That one... I think it was the daughter of Duke... Camila?
Either way, she's the strongest one among the students so far, only makes sense if she's the leader, I suppose.
Around 10 or 15 students jump up and started to attack the dragon's head. Unfortunately, they all either missed the eyes, or missed the head entirely, I guess they're not familiar with calculating distances?
''Skill issue.'' I muttered.
Except, the girl in black did land a hit on its left eye, she stabbed it with both of her daggers, then swiftly pulled them out and retreated.
*GRARRR*
The dragon wails in pain, it swings its enormous head around, creating strong winds slapping against all the students around the area, knocking them back and unfortunately hitting the tankers at the front.
Well, now they just need to launch their spells...
''Hm? What the hell are they doing? Shoot its mouth!''
No, really, its mouth is wide open right now, I could probably end it with a single spell, granted, an Archmage level spell, but still.
''They're panicking.'' Tina commented.
''WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! SHOOT!!'' The girl in black shouted.
The mages finally stop dazing, they shoot a bunch of spells at the dragon's mouth. Most of them are designed to deal concentrated damages, I'd say. So they do know what spells are good to use, but they just lacks actual experience and got frozen.
The spells worked quite well, upon eating myriads of attacks, the dragon rightfully gets even angrier than before. It sweeps the whole arena with it's tail and claw, sending students, even the frozen ones earlier, flying outside of the arena, some even landed on the spectator seats.
Man, this seems dangerous, are they sure the students won't die from this?
Regardless, the remaining students are preparing the next attack already, I think they might make it go berserk soon. Probably a good point to cancel the illusion by then.
Normally in real life, you would get a dragon to its berserk state, then get the fuck out and wait until it runs out of stamina. That's how people hunted dragons, no idiots are going to confront a berserk dragon directly.
''It's about to end.'' I said.
The girl in black earlier is now rushing in again, swiftly stabs the dragon's remaining eye, then, much like a shadow, disappears into thin air.
*ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Yup, it went berserk. It was a decent fight, at least they won't panic when encountering a dragon next time.
*ROARR*
...Hm? Why is it not disappearing? Hey! They're really going to die at this rate?!
Hurriedly, I put Anna aside and stand up, pulling out the Hecate II from my space bag together with a few super AP bullets.
Using telekinesis, I swiftly insert the bullets into the magazine, then the magazine into the gun.
*Skrrzt*
After a quick bolting, I decided to shoot it while standing, there's no good angle to lay down here.
Clenching my whole body with thick mana coat to ensure my accuracy, I aim straight at the dragon's head.
By this point, the dragon is already releasing all kinds of magic everywhere. The students are rightfully trying their best to defend against the barrage of magic, I could see through the scope numerous round mana shields popping up around the arena.
In the distance, some panicking staff members are running around, trying to rescue unconscious students.
''Phew...''
Steadying my breath, I pull the trigger decisively.
*BOOM*
The bullet left the barrel with an incredible speed, cleanly punched a sizeable hole through the side of the lizard's head, leaving it suspended in the air for a moment.
The concussion coming out at the end of the barrel is just as big as I remember. Even now, I could feel the nearby carpet's fluffy wool brushing against my feet, and the curtains still fluttering in the corner of my vision.
*Skrrzt*
My carefulness kicks in again, I bolt the gun once more, sending the empty casing of a .50 cal bullet out of the gun, simultaneously pushing a new round into the barrel.
*BOOM*
Another bullet pierced through the dragon's head cleanly, but this time instead of just suspending its movement like before, it knocked its head over to the side, and that was enough for its ginormous body to tip, falling down with a strong thud audible from even here.
''Phew~''
Throwing back the Hecate II into the case, I let out a sigh.
'''' ... ''''
''Good job.'' Liana said, sitting down again, it seems like she was about to jump out earlier.
''Mhmm.'' Emy as well.
''...MHMM!!''
My little cat girl whined, jumping towards me, then buries her face between my breasts.
''You were so cool!!'' She said.
''Thanks.''
Head patting time, ah, let's put the Hecate back first.
*clap* *clap* *clap*
''...Incredible. I didn't think that it was this strong.'' Tina commented, looking a bit dazed.
''It can even pierce that man's armor, some petty lizard's skin can't ever stop it.'' I proclaimed proudly, stroking Anna's head. ''Well, there's that. But I think we need to get the details of this.''
''I agree. Let's go find someone outside.''
Hopefully everyone's alright.
