Chapter 280 Lizardmen



Chapter 280 Lizardmen

Their path opened up very wide, with the ceiling reaching over 50 feet in height. There were stalactites at the top, which gave Lyrian some good memories.

A few of the students whispered amongst each other, the few that were friends. They were curious about the leaf boy.

However, the majority of kids, who kept quiet to themselves, didn't seem to care about the leaf kid. It hadn't even been two weeks of school. They didn't even know half their class yet, so why would one stand out too much from the rest?

While walking, the path below Lyrian—The Leaf Boy—and the kid who did the head count—Jiller, as he proudly proclaimed—began to swerve to the left.

"So... what's with the leaf outfit, man?" Jiller asked curiously. He had yapped to Lyrian during their few-minute walk nonstop.

Lyrian hadn't said a word yet.

"I see you're a man of few words, Linkus," Jiller exclaimed but was then surprised to hear the leaf boy actually make a sound.

"I love hunting," was all the leaf boy said, in an oddly deep voice.

A smile formed on Jiller's face, as his eyes widened. Lifting a finger in the air, he said, "Ah ha! I get it now! So that's why you have the leaves on your body."

'He seems like a buffoon, but at least he can understand something like camouflage,' Lyrian mused, thinking of how much Jiller had spouted up until now.

"Leaves are the perfect thing for herbivores to eat, so you lure them in with your body."

'Huh?'

"That's pretty ingenious, ya' know. There is no getting closer than that! It would make them an easy target," Jiller said, proud to figure it out.

'Huh!? Is this guy seriously retarded?' Lyrian confusedly thought.

"Hey! Stop." The blue-robed kid at the front of the group of students halted, raising his hand in the air. This prompted everyone else to stop as well.

They gazed in awe, as the blue-robed kid, peered around the corner of the spiraling cave.

There, he saw an even bigger opening. It looked to be a large cave room that was about 20 feet below them. The cave led there eventually, but the blue-robed kid was hesitant to enter.

Down there was a group of four large lizard-like humanoids. They had hard scales, especially against their back traps down to their long tails. Two held swords, while another—slightly larger one—held an axe. The last one held a bow, as they looked to converse with each other.

The room was still dark, so the blue-robed kid couldn't fully recognize everything in the large room.

However, he knew that if he walked a few feet forward, the saurian (lizardman) would be able to spot him.

Whispering, he exclaimed to his team, "Alright... listen up."

The team huddled around him, Jiller and Leaf Boy included, as they discussed the next plan, of course.

After a few minutes, Lyrian began to get impatient. 'Hm... this is taking too long. My team must have slain at least one lizardman by now. I want them to kill as little as possible so that I can join this team and head over there to reap the materials of my team's path as well.'

"What do we do? Those are saurians, which are already super strong, and they don't look like some weaklings either."

"No... they must be the higher-ranking guards. Otherwise, they wouldn't be stationed out here."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"How about this... we split into four teams and take down one each as groups."

"Are you sure? The axe one looks stronger than the others."

"You're right... what do we do about him?"

Lyrian suddenly left the huddle and walked over to where the blue-robed kid had spotted the lizardmen.

"Hey! What are you--!?" Jiller yelled in a whisper, trying to hold the Leaf Boy back. He failed.

Lyrian observed the saurians and did a quick scan.

'Their OP's are 6. The brute over there with the axe is 7. Stronger than the usual beasts in the forest... but, unexpectedly weak as well. This far out, I expected more.'

"Hey!" Lyrian suddenly blurted out. This time, his voice wasn't so deep, and instead a bit high.

The huddled teammates looked up in horror, hearing the Leaf Boy loudly speak.

"How about I take on the husk with the axe and you guys take on the rest?" He shouted, causing the team to lose their minds.

"What are you doing!?" Jiller exclaimed in a screaming whisper. The blue-robed kid simply widened his eyes in shock, speechless.

'No way he just yelled out like that...'

At that moment, Leaf Boy jumped from the edge of the path down to the ground, and the students quickly walked further down the path until they could see the room in its entirety.

Then, they looked at Leaf Boy as he ran toward the lizardmen. All of them were riddled with disbelief.

"How did he pass the entrance exam? The fool will get demolished in an instant if he thinks he can take on that axe lizardman."

"No... screw that. Does he think the other lizardmen will just let him duel the brute? He is a fool."

"That axe-wielding saurian is probably close to the second layer of Pure Beast... and that idiot is rushing in with his sword as if he will defeat it in one blow or something," The blue-robed kid exclaimed in frustration, "Who in the hell does he think he is? An MVP or something?"

The other students shook their heads side to side in disappointment as Leaf Boy reached 20 feet from the brutish lizard man. They actually had a bit of pity in their eyes.

Seeing Lyrian rush in like that, the other saurian did something totally unexpected. Instead of running to help their ally, they actually laughed at Leaf Boy, turning to look at the show instead.

'That works for me.' Lyrian mused, looking at the large lizardman, who was also smiling, seemingly amused, 'I'll wipe that smirk right off your face.'

At that moment, a ruthless bloodlust melted through the air and pierced through the heart of the lizardman. Its smile faded, as its mouth gaped. Its eyes widened slightly, as the small Leaf Boy in front of it suddenly disappeared from sight.

"Shock Fist!"
