Bab 44: The Dud Manor’s Annual Camping Trip [Part 1]

Three days later, the members of the Dud Manor all geared up as they hiked towards the location of their camping trip.

Classes had just ended, and they planned to travel for a few hours until they reached their destination.

The classes in Brynhildr Academy are only held on weekdays. On the weekends, the students were free to do whatever they wanted.

They could even visit the nearby town to buy supplies if they wanted to, as long as they asked permission from their Head Prefects.

Since the next day was Saturday, the members of Dud Manor could stay until Sunday Afternoon at their designated camp site.

As they made their way towards Great Eagle Forest, they noticed several people flying overhead with their broomsticks, waving at them as they flew past the members of Dud Manor.

“How nice it would be if we could just fly,” Ethan muttered as he looked at the students with envy.

“Flying is good, as long as you don’t have a fear of heights,” Noah, the handsome guy with short silver hair commented. “I have a fear of heights, so even if I had magic, I’d probably faint if I were to fly on a broom.”

“By the way, Noah, it seems that several others are headed in the same direction as we are,” Ethan stated. “Are they also going camping?”

“Perhaps,” Noah replied. “Since classes have ended, the students want to relax and unwind. It is very common for groups from different Manors to go on a camping trip in Great Eagle Forest.”

Since Ethan was the newest member of Dud Manor, he made it a point to get along with its members. Fortunately for him, they also wanted to get along with him, so all of the boys hit it off instantly becoming like brothers in arms.

The girls, like Luna, were also kind to him, making him feel like he was a part of their family. Because of this, having a camping trip with all of them made Ethan so excited that he was unable to sleep the night before.

Chloe, who tagged along in their trip, walked beside the blue-haired boy who was carrying her backpack inside his storage ring.

The same could be said for the rest of the members of Dud Manor. None of them were carrying anything, with the exception of Henry and the other senior members. They were wearing the uniforms often worn by students that were about to go on a mission outside the Academy.

These uniforms were like light-weight armor that protected its wearer from stab wounds and blunt attacks from knives and bats, and other similar weapons.

Of course, once the force of the blow reached a certain threshold, the protective clothes would be damaged, lowering its defensive abilities.

The Academy did their best to ensure that their students would return safely from their mission, which was why they didn’t skimp out on the materials of these robes, saving the lives of countless students.

After two hours of walking, they finally arrived at a clearing inside the forest, where several tents had already been set up in various locations.

Ethan thought that they had finally arrived at their location, so he decided to take Chloe’s backpack out of his storage ring, but was stopped by Noah before he could do so.

“This is not the place that we’ll be camping tonight,” Noah said. “It is still an hour away from here, so don’t bring anything out yet.”

Ethan nodded his head in understanding and simply followed behind the others, who seemed to already know where they were going.

The people in the campsite glanced in the direction of the members of Dud Manor and started whispering to each other.

Everywhere in the Academy, there were places reserved for the members of the different Manors.

This included the Manors themselves, the tables in the Dining Hall, as well as several other facilities in the Academy.

Ethan didn’t know that there was not a place for the Dud Manor to camp in the clearing that they were currently in.

Because of this, the previous members decided to look for their own campsite, which they could call their own.

The problem was that, in their search for this place, they had no choice but to venture deeper inside Great Eagle Forest, where many wild magical creatures could be found.

Half an hour after leaving the clearing, a loud roar reached Ethan’s and Chloe’s ears, making them almost jump in fright.

In front of their group’s formation, a four-meter long Dire-Bear charged in their direction with the intention of attacking them.

Henry, and the rest of the senior members of Dud Manor, looked at this creature with calm expressions on their faces.

“George,” Henry said.

“On it!” George replied before taking a black ball from the utility belt that hung around his waist.

The Third Year of Dud manor then threw the black ball towards the Dire Bear like a baseball, hitting the magical creature’s face, dead center.

Immediately, the black ball exploded creating a black mist, which made the Dire Bear roar in pain.

A moment later, George’s best friend, Oliver, took a silver shield from his storage ring, and charged at the large bear, which had reared back on its hind legs, while swiping left and right to disperse the black mist that surrounded it.

A metallic ring resounded in the surroundings as Oliver slammed the silver shield into the Dire Bear’s family jewels, making the fierce creature fall down on the ground, writhing in pain.

Ethan and Noah couldn’t help but wince after seeing the Dire Bear’s “dire” situation. Even the young man thought that this was too much, but before he could say anything, Henry’s voice reached his ears.

“The Great Eagle Forest is a place filled with dangerous creatures,” Henry stated. “It follows the law of the jungle. Although being merciful is nice and good, not all magical beasts follow this rule. Because of this, we have to teach them the hard way that there are things that they can and cannot do, especially when facing the students of Brynhildr Academy.”

After finishing his explanation, Henry approached the Dire Bear who was still writing on the ground and kicked its jaw without any mercy, making the Giant Bear stop moving completely.

“I-Is it dead?” Chloe asked.

“No,” Noah replied. “But, it will be unconscious for a while.”

After dealing with the bear, the group continued their hike. Ethan understood why their seniors were wearing their full battle regalia now. It was their way of ensuring their safety.

The Annual Trip of the Dud Manor inside the Great Eagle Forest, was not just a simple camping trip.

It was to teach their newest members, especially the First Years, that even though they were magically crippled individuals, they still had the power to protect themselves against fierce magical beasts who would attack anyone in sight, regardless of whether they knew how to wield magic or not.


Bab 45: The Dud Manor’s Annual Camping Trip [Part 2]

“Luna, did you also go on this Annual Camping trip of Dud Manor a year ago?” Ethan asked.

Luna nodded her head. “Yes. Last year was an eye opening experience. The previous Head Prefect could smash a Dire Wolf’s head like a watermelon with a single punch. It was the first time I saw someone use Might over Magic, and it was truly an unbelievable sight.”

The corner of Ethan’s lips twitched after hearing Luna’s explanation. He thought that the members of Dud Manor could not protect themselves without magic, but it seems that his assumption was completely wrong.

As if proving this fact, he heard several wolf howls in the distance, which made the Third and Fourth Years take a defensive formation, surrounding Ethan, and the Second Years of their Manor, placing them at the center of the formation where they were protected.

“Take a good look, Ethan, Chloe,” Noah said. “You will be taking on missions in the future, so pay close attention to how two teams of Quatros work together.”

When doing missions for the academy, people could choose to go solo, or team up with others forming a Duo, Trio, or Quatro.

The highest number of people that a team could have was eight people (Octo), which was composed of two Quatros.

Suddenly, Dire Wolves that were bigger than normal wolves leapt out of the shadows, and attacked the Third Years and Fourth Years, who were keeping their younger members safe.

Ethan had also taken out his Moulding Ball and transferred it into a Pitchfork, while Chloe had already summoned her Fire Fox, Kon, ready to fight at a moment’s notice.

However, to their surprise, the Seniors made short work of the Dire Wolves, by kicking, stabbing, smashing, punching, and slashing them with the magical weapons in their possession.

The battle only took one minute before the surviving Dire Wolves deemed that enough was enough and retreated.

Out of the two dozen Dire Wolves that attacked them, eight were lying on the ground, dead, which almost made Chloe puke.

“Noah, Luna, check for Beast Cores,” Henry ordered. “We’ll keep watch just in case the bastards come back.”

The two Second Years nodded their heads and took out small daggers from their storage ring.

The first thing they did was stab the head of the dire wolves, checking if they had any Beast Cores inside their body.

Ethan noticed that Luna’s and Noah’s movements were quick, and on point, as if they had done this countless times in the past.

After checking the eight dead Dire Wolves, Luna and Noah handed four Beast Cores to their Head Prefect.

“Take one each, the both of you,” Henry said as he handed one Beast Core to Luna and one to Noah. “Ethan, Chloe, you take these two cores as well. You can exchange them for Merit Points at the Exchange Center, or you can exchange it for gold. If you want to, you can also keep it as a souvenir of our first camping trip together.”

Henry grinned, making him look two years younger than his current age.

“Um, what about the Dire Wolves’ bodies?” Ethan asked. “Will we just leave them here?”

“We have limited space in our storage rings,” Henry replied. “But, if you want them, you can get them. I’m sure that you can get a good price for their furs, as well as other monster parts. You can choose to sell them at the Academy, or you can go to Limeburg Town.

“Although the trip takes half an hour on a flying broomstick, they can purchase the Dire Wolves for a higher price compared to the Academy. What you do with them is up to you.”

“Thank you, Head Prefect!” Ethan said with a smile.

He then placed the dead Dire Wolves inside his ring, which had a storage space that was as big as the Academy’s training grounds.

After making sure that the Dire Wolves had really gone away, the group continued their journey at a leisurely pace.

Luna and Noah even told Ethan and Chloe many things about the Magical Creatures that lived in Great Eagle Forest, giving the two First Years a better understanding of what kind of beasts they might face as they head deeper inside the Enchanted Forest.

“Since this is the Great Eagle Forest, do they have Giant Eagles here?” Ethan asked.

“Yes,” Luna replied. “They are the Apex predators of this place, but you don’t have to worry about them attacking you. The Giant Eagles and Brynhildr Academy have some sort of pact with each other, which prevents both sides from antagonizing each other.

“There was even a time when the Giant Eagles extended their help to the Academy when Demons tried to invade Eastshire. Oh… and we’re here.”

Ethan and Chloe looked at the thick wall of trees in front of them and wondered what Luna meant when she said “we’re here”.

However, it didn’t take long before the answer presented itself to the two First Years whose mouths hung open due to shock and disbelief.

The thick trees in front of them started to move.

“Ah… Henry,” one of the Giant Trees bent its body to look closely at the Head Prefect of Dud Manor. “Is it that time of the year already?”

“Yes, Mr. Oak,” Henry replied. “It’s that time of year again.”

The Giant Oak Tree nodded as he walked to the side, creating a path for the teenagers to pass through.

The other trees did the same, causing Ethan and Chloe to look at them in wonder.

“T-Treants!” Chloe stuttered. “I’ve only read about them in books. This is the first time I’m seeing the real thing.”

“There’s… a first time… for everything… young lady,” one of the Treants replied as it lowered its body to take a good look at Chloe.

The frightened girl hurriedly hid behind Ethan’s back, which made Henry, and the other seniors of Dud Manor chuckle.

“This girl… is a… Witch,” the Treant replied. “Is she… really a member… of Dud Manor?”

Henry shook his head. “She’s a special guest that came to experience our Annual Camping Trip.”

“... I see,” the Treant slowly nodded its head before standing up tall. “Be careful… Big Foot is… active right now. If… you need… assistance… just shout.”

The Treants then closed their eyes one by one, until they once again looked like normal trees. If Ethan and Chloe hadn’t experienced talking to them first hand, both of them might have thought that what they saw was just a figment of their imagination.

“Let’s go,” Henry stated. “The camping area is just a ten minute walk from here. You can rest when we get there.”

True to his word, they did reach a clearing with a small brook flowing merrily a short distance away.

Ethan and Chloe felt so tired that they just sat down on the logs, which were purposely placed near a make-shift campfire.

Henry then took out a couple of bags from his storage ring and tossed them on the ground.

A moment later, these bags inflated themselves and turned into tents that were big enough to accommodate eight people each.

“Magic sure is convenient, right, Chloe?” Ethan asked as he looked at the tents that only took a few seconds to form.

“Yes,” Chloe replied. “It is a wonderful thing.”

Truth be told, Ethan was itching to ask Henry how many merit points he needed to exchange for one of those tents.

If he could get one, it would definitely make his life easier because he would no longer need to set it up manually.

After a short rest, everyone gathered at the campfire, while Henry and the other seniors cooked their dinner.

Looking at this scene, Ethan was certain that he would enjoy a relaxing camping trip with everyone.

What the young man didn’t know was that somewhere in the Enchanted Forest, a pair of light-brown eyes was watching them from a great distance.

Beside the creature was the dead body of a panther, which it had been feasting on for a while.

A moment later, a throaty laugh escaped the creature’s lips, as he tore off the leg of the panther that it had just killed, sating its hunger.

Seeing that several humans had entered its territory, the giant creature thought of a nice way…

To give them all a camping trip that they would never forget.
