The Mysterious Hero
31. Detections

A huge explosion occurred in the academy park. Some trees were seen burning in a large fire, the ground was cracked in parts and flowers were strewn around the blast site.

Anticipating that the flames would not spread, Ruka extended her hand forward, a golden magic circle appearing in front of her palm. He said, "a spray of water."

instantly water gushed from within the magic circle that Ruka made, extinguishing the fire before her. It didn't take long, the fire was extinguished.

Ruka breathed a sigh of relief, seeing some disciples who were also surprised to hear the sound of the explosion running closer to the source of the sound, either out of curiosity or by chance saw it.

"Everything's done, now you better get back to your respective classes." Ruka said as she turned to look at the students who began to swarm behind her.

"It is still curious..."

"How can there be an explosion?"

"Is it possible that someone accidentally used her magic?"

"Maybe too. Plus there's no monster near here..."

Ruka sighed. "Hurry up to the class before"

YGG!!!

The school bell rang to attract the attention of students who were still crowded near Ruka.

"Ekhem, should I take you to class?" All the disciples who had been crowding were silent at once hearing that familiar voice.

They simultaneously turned their heads and found a man staring intently at them. The dark aura as if emanated clearly from the man's body, coupled with his gaze that was as sharp as the gaze of the male lion's eyes that looked at the horde of rabbits and was ready to pounce at any moment.

"W-we'll be back! "

Instantly, all the students who had been crowded immediately ran as fast as lightning towards their respective classes.

Velix shook his head slowly. "No problem, it's also my job, right? Besides that..." Velix looked at the remnants of the explosion near him. The fire was extinguished, but the remaining smoke still billowed thinly and then disappeared. "You know who did this?" Velix continued to ask while looking at Ruka.

"It's not clear yet, but the figure managed to escape once it made an attack. It was likely that he was surprised to see the horde of people who had also directly come here." Obviously Ruka.

"All right, we're looking for that monster right now. Make sure he gets caught today. It would be dangerous if you just let it roam. It would be troublesome if those disciples were to come back in trouble."

Ruka nodded in agreement. " Yeah, since that incident, they seem to be getting serious about us."

"Um, if this is the case... As soon as you hurry up and start the practice and exams for the students. The sooner we gather disciples with high abilities, the sooner our plans can be accomplished."

Ruka nodded. "All right, now we're gonna find that monster now."

Velix nodded. The man jumped over the tree data and observed its surroundings. His eyes closed for a while, then opened again, revealing blood-red irises with jet-black pupils that look very sad but also give a pretty cool impression.

Velix has the ability of gravity and detection magic. His gravity magic is often used to lighten or weigh his weapons when attacking opponents, so it can easily defeat them.

While detection magic is not very often Velix use, but it is quite useful to find the location of monsters within twenty to twenty-five meters around it.

"The training arena, a Red Salamander was hiding among the bleachers." Velix.

"Okay, we're there now!"

Without wasting any time, Ruka and Velix ran quickly towards the training arena.

The Red Salamander is a lizard-like monster with a bright red skin with white on its belly and spines on its back. The creature is 4 meters high. Red Salamander has the ability to remove fire from its mouth, making it one of the monsters that are quite difficult to defeat if you want not the controller of water or ice elements.

Meanwhile, behind a tree not far from Ruka's location, Hali peeked silently, listening to their every conversation.
