After they had their canned dinner, cleaned up in the principal's bathroom(dude had everything). The girls quickly laid on the sofas to rest. They all fell asleep in no time at all. Which was only natural after the crazy day they had, in fact, crazy can be said to be an understatement.
Great teacher Muku pulled over a single sitter sofa and sat while facing the door. His trusty axe beside him, he didn't want to freely use his magic before figuring out their situation, so the axe was still useful. While he guarded the door, he focused on his mana recovery.
This led him to accidentally discover that meditation can speed up mana recovery, his core was 80% full at this point. He also found out that the presence of mana I'm the body seemed to work against exhaustion. He can be said to have had the worst day compared to the girls, but he didn't feel tired at all. Which made him like mana even more.
Around 2 am, Layla woke up and came to Muku.
"Sir why don't you sleep and I guard the door for the rest of the night?" She whispered not wanting to wake the others up.
"No I'm fine, you can continue sleeping, you growing kids need proper re..." Muku who was in the middle of rejecting Layla's offer was interrupted by three voices from behind them.
"We'll join her". The voices of Emily, Jade and Chloe sounded at the same time.
"You brats, it's the middle of the night, why do you want to give me a headache even now? Go back to sleep all of you". Muku rebuked them, but was met with defiant eyes from all of them.
"Sigh, fine, I'll sleep for a bit, then we switch again got it?". Seeing that they wouldn't give in, teacher Muku could only give in. Though he planned to only sleep for an hour then wake up.
"Yes sir". They all agreed.
With that Muku got up from his sofa and went to one big sofa and laid down to rest.
"Hmm, this sofa smells nice". With that statement he drifted off into sleep. It seemed although his body was getting sustained by mana, his mind still needed sleep to recover after all he had gone through.
He didn't know that his innocent statement almost made Chloe faint from embarrassment since that's where she was.
The girls pulled over one big sofa where three of them sat while Layla sat on the one Muku stood up from.
After 30 minutes, Jade couldn't help but look back. Seeing his sleeping face she couldn't help but make an unconscious statement.
"Although normally he is fine, he seems to be a bit more good looking when he's asleep don't you think?" She said what she was thinking without realising it.
"Yeah" ×3. The other girls looked back and without thinking they all agreed.
A minute later, when what just happened finally sank in into their heads. Each of their heads started turning red in silence, especially Jade, she wanted to find a hole and hide.
They then looked up, looked at each other, got even redder and looked down again. If the killer dogs came at this time, they might have even made it to the door without being heard.
Luckily for the girls, none of the dogs came up.
...
The next morning....
Great teacher Muku who planned to sleep for only an hour ended up sleeping for five. It seems his mind really was tired, especially after the pain of awakening which he dreaded to even think about.
On the girls' side, they tactfully agreed to not speak about some forbidden interests they all unwittingly exposed the previous night. Though honestly everyone kind of knew already in Emily's case.
"Okay students, lets have breakfast and I, your great teacher will take you down and clear out the dunge.... cough, the school floors. At the same time I'll turn you little novices into an expert like me who only needs to sneeze to kill a hundred dogs.". After some rest and with a full mana core, Muku was feeling quite confident.
"Are you sure it will be fine sir?". Chloe couldn't help but ask with worry visible on her face.
"Yeah, don't worry so much, I'd never do anything that would endanger my students... except for taking them to fight giant man eating dogs of course". Muku said with confidence.
Hearing the first part, Chloe was reassured but hearing the second one she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Sigh, don't be so nervous Chloe, he's only teasing you by the second part. You've seen how easily took care of the ten dogs yesterday right?. And he was basically in his weakest state. So today should definitely be fine.". Jade said to Chloe while glaring at Muku.
This time Chloe was reassured, remembering that although she was a second away from dying, she still managed to save her. So there was no way he couldn't do it again this time when he was in top condition.
.....
After breakfast, they set out on a hunt. The girls were kind of exited since after a day of being hunted, they were now the hunters. A classic case of hunter becoming the hunted.
After a few minutes of advancing slowly, they had reached the sixth floor. As soon as they turned the corner they were met with a bloody scene. Bloody and ripped school uniforms all over the ground. And fifteen dogs laying around with bloated bellies, clearly having eaten their fill.
The scene made the girls want to explode in anger and pity for their dead schoolmates. At the same time they couldn't help be happy that they chose to stay with their teacher instead of running out. As for teacher Muku, seeing this scene, he swore to himself that he won't let any of the girls he had end up like that no matter what.
Seeing the food deliver itself to them, although they were full, didn't stop the dogs from getting up and charging forward.
Before the girls could do anything, great teacher Muku made his move. He again moved at a speed that turned him into a blur in front of the girl's eyes.
"Howl!!" ×15
Familiar cries of pain were heard by the girls, and again the dogs were legless, crying on the floor. The situation was like that of an adult fighting toddlers. The dogs didn't have a chance to resist. Despite their size, they were still unranked beasts after all.
Without asking questions, the girls all got into action and started killing the beasts off.
[Three kills left....] × 3
[Four kills left....]
Jade, Layla and Chloe each killed four dogs while Emily killed three.
"Hmm, I don't know about this, it kind of feels like we're the bad guys now". Seeing how they had basically killed defenceless dogs, Emily couldn't help but feel sad.
"Are you forgetting what is in their stomachs right now?". Jade just said that single statement to her before shutting her mouth.
"Sigh, you're right I guess. They brought this on themselves"
Only Emily would even consider feeling pity for such creatures...
