Swordmad looked to the rows of injured people who were being treated by all the healers they had at the moment, sadly the number wasn't too high. Ange's master was the one who was in charge of distributing the healers, but even with that kind of efficiency, the healers couldn't heal everyone and was a matter of time before someone died due to the injuries.
If Ange hadn't been kidnapped, even though she was still at the Apprentice Rank, she would have been able to mark a difference with her powerful healing skills. The fact that she could use Time Healing made her one of the best healers of the academy despite her low level.
Sadly, the other students weren't so impressive. Aizu was one of the top healing students at the Nacesai Academy, but she was only at the 2-star Novice Rank, and her healing abilities were far too lacking for the current situation. It was easy to imagine how effective the other students were, seeing that even of the top was like that.
Swordmad continued his way to the barrier when Zack crossed his way; he was in charge of delivering supplies to the injured ones thanks to his speed. He was at the 4-star Novice; after being crippled and healed, he started to train like a madman, and his achievements were top-notch for a student in the Nacesai Academy.
However, in that situation, all he could do was run carrying supplies with him. The healing magic wasn't enough for everyone, so they were also using a lot of conventional medicine that was being refined at another part of the academy; a lot of people like him were running all the day transporting the newly made medicines to the camp with the injured people.
Swordmad didn't greet anyone; he had crossed with everyone a lot of times since the attack started.
At the barrier there was a tall and sturdy man giving orders to others; that man had created a great reputation for himself in the past years.
That man was George, who had lost an arm in the special realm. However, that didn't break his confidence; it only made him train harder.
Until that point, he was quite similar to Zack, but their achievements were on a different level because George had recently reached the Apprentice Rank.
George was someone who liked to use big swords, but with one arm using them turned difficult, so he started to look for alternatives to be able to wield those swords despite having lost an arm. He didn't even try to change his battle style; he felt that giving up on that would be like losing to the bastard who cut his arm.
The answer he found were golems; he always had talent in earth magic, so he started to study how to make golems, and his achievements in that area shocked even Sainac.
Maybe it was the madness he developed due to his obsession, but he developed a metal golem arm that could be attached to his body and could be used as a natural arm. Moreover, that arm was permanent and would exist until being destroyed. However, that arm was a few times sturdier than a normal arm, and with enough time and resources, it could be remade; it was even possible to create a temporally one in the midst of the battle.
The arm acted like those golems who could move without an owner thanks to a core, but instead of a core, he managed to synchronize his own energy to the arm directly, managing to act himself as the core of the metal golem arm. Thus, that arm felt like a normal arm to him but was stronger than a real arm.
That arm had a lot of strength and could use it to move easier those enormous sword that he liked. Moreover, his training speed soared since he created his metal golem arm like if being able to win against his own weakness had transformed him.
It wasn't unheard that after someone managed to surpass a huge setback, their training speed changed.
At that moment, George was leading a group of people to create a golem wall behind the barrier; he hoped that such golem wall would be able to restrain the attackers a bit if they were to break the barrier. They had no place to flee, but instead of worrying, he decided to do everything in his hands. At that moment no one in the Nacesai Academy could surpass him in creating golems, so Sainac agreed to let him create that golem wall and assigned all the students capable of creating golems under his orders.
That golem wall would have some attack power, so everyone hoped that even if those attackers broke the barrier, some of them would die thanks to the golem wall.
"Nacesai Academy! Surrender right now, and you will be able to live! Being our slaves is better than dying! If you render meritorious services, you may even turn into a senior slave and have some rights like resting fifteen minutes every week or eating human food instead of animal one once per month."
The leader of the attackers shouted those words, but no one reacted to them. They were already used to hear his nonsense. They would rather die than live like that.
"Remember that we have that genius healer with us! That Roanmad Clan really showed loyalty towards us. If you don't surrender, in less than two days we will enslave her as punishment!"
They had tried to enslave her before, but for some reason, there was a seal placed on her soul that was blocking the enslavement, but that seal wouldn't last for too long. Of course, she would be enslaved regardless of the decision of the Nacesai Academy.
That threat was also something that Swordmad had heard a lot of times, and every time, he was about to rush outside to attack, but he knew that acting rashly would just put everyone else in danger.
Before Swordmad started to check the barrier, it started to rain outside it. It wasn't a strong rain, and the drops were thin enough to make everyone disregard them.
However, everyone who was touched by one drop fell to the ground seconds later, completely unable to move.
"The ones who shall surrender are all of you!"
