The slimes are before them and one is about to spit. Nytri commands, "Peregrine to the front, shield up!" Peregrine moves before the group and raises his shield, a slime spits on it. "Quentin, attack!" Quentin runs past Peregrine and strikes the slime but his blade bounces off. Nytri commands, "Use the broad side of the sword!" Quentin does that and strikes the slime hard, it moves in pain and dies becoming a pile of puddle. Nytri speaks, "Slimes are resistance to sharp attacks so it's better to use blunt attacks, unless you're strong enough to cut them in half."
The adventurer notices then speaks, "Quentin, get behind the shield." Quentin gets behind Peregrine and the adventurer continues, "The shielder is your defense, always make sure to be behind him. Also keep in mind to counter attack when you can, you don't need to wait for the leader to say so unless she's noticed something or has a plan." He gives a thumbs up to them.
Nytri takes command, "Ophelia, cast a buff- I mean strengthening spell on Quentin and Peregrine." Ophelia responds, "R-Right" and gets to casting with a staff. Nytri speaks again, "Juniper, make sure to snipe any monsters that try to flank Peregrine." Juniper responds and starts firing her arrows and Nytri continues, "Always make sure the monsters are ahead of Peregrine."
Nytri casts a spell, instead of a magic circle it's a line of 4 runes. A fireball launches towards the slimes and burns it, they keep this up and defeat the slime monsters. The adventurer applauses them, "Very good, good coordination and teamwork. Keep this up and you'll be great." Then he looks at Nytri, "I've seen a lot of mages but never one who uses spells like you."
Nytri smiles, "Yeah, it's how we're taught in Azuria." The adventurer nods, "Alright, let's keep going. Looks like you have team work down, so we'll go deeper." He leads the team deeper and they come across a group of wandering goblins. Nytri takes command and they attack and slay them, Peregrine sustained a few scratches and Ophelia healed him. He started getting more scratches for some reason, but Ophelia healed him nonetheless.
They continue on with the hunt occasionally meeting goblins and other weak monsters. The group just finished slaying a group of monsters and Ophelia walks before Nytri, "Umm, Nytri…There's something I want to test…" She gets shy, "I….Uhh I have summoning to summon…a contracted beast…is it alr-"
Nytri smiles, "Of course you can, you should summon it so I can know our party strength and plan accordingly." Nytri raises a finger as if teaching, "Showing your companions what you can help them plan better." Ophelia nods, she gets to summoning.
Phifty speaks to Nytri telepathically, "Re~ally, cuz someone has only been using tier 1 spells." Nytri smiles wryly replying, "If I went all out, they'd have nothing to do or learn. You really should hang back so your group can also fight and learn, at least gain some levels." Phifty replies, "Levels? From insects?"
Nytri chuckles, Ophelia is curious but she's seen Nytri act weird before. Ophelia starts the spell with a tier 3 runic circle, the adventurer is impressed. Ophelia finishes and a summoning beast comes out of it, it's a bulky beast with blue veins. Ophelia sweats a little due to the EP/energy/mana use to summon it.
The adventurer is impressed mumbling, "Such a powerful summoning…and a child did this." Ophelia is indeed talented, since it's a tier 3 summon so it's considered powerful. Ophelia looks at Nytri with a big smile, Nytri pats her on her head and praises her for doing a good job.
Nytri looks at the summoning beast, the beast looks at Nytri and shudders. Nytri is surprised and her thoughts, "Huh? Even if I don't suppress my aura, it's impossible anyone on earth to detect without me focusing it." Nytri follows the gaze of the beast and notices it's her magic stick, "Oh right, I made this stick from ARMORED SHELL so it probably seems to be high grade with my energy."
The class continues with the hunt with their additional member, this made it more easy for them so Nytri asked Ophelia to keep the summoning beast as backup or they won't learn. They continue deep into the forest and meet the other groups at the center of the forest, an adventurer stands before them. "Alright everyone, that's all for today's practice hunt. Let's head back to your professor." They all agreed and start to lead the group back.
The nobles who often harassed Nytri are in a bad shape covered in slime goo and with a bad stench, Nytri wasn't even bothered to glance at them. One of them walks up to the adventurers to lodge a complaint, "Hey, look at that group." Disrespectful as ever and she continues, "The cheated, their guide clearly helped them."
Nytri's guide walks up to denounce as that girl made a scene, the goo on her body had a strong stench but those covered in it…have gotten use to it. Nytri covers her nose, "Quit your tantrum, you smell like shit. At least consider the nose of the guides before you flail your hands around them." Nytri's words stab deep, "Ugh, even shit is better than this. At least it's not in my nose like a disease." Words stab deeper.
Anyway, the girl was embarrassed and kept trying to retort but Nytri only kept her distance and blast her with a water ball if she came close. The adventurers didn't let her fire any back at Nytri so she was completely wet when they got back. Professor Gwyneth is sitting under a tree and sees the group coming, "Huh, did it rain?" Those wet are now about 13 and that's the nobles who see themselves better than others.
Professor Gwyneth shrugs, "I guess everything is alright." She gets up to meet the group. They end the lesson and head back to class but Nytri makes one last comment. "Professor Gwyneth, can you please allow the shit stains time to get the shit off of them. I think it's starting to affect their insides too." And she hammered a nail into the coffin.
Nytri had no intention of harassing them, her sense of smell was just higher than most. Phifty squints his nose, "Yeah, if I spend another time around them I might-" He actually vomits, he wipes his mouth, "Ugh so horrible." The nobles with crushes on Phifty were…..not in good shape. Their crush just vomited from being around them.
[AU: INFO
- Scent: Due to Nytri and Azurians often being on high alert in the Monster realm, their senses are almost 20 times that of ordinary humans. Some monsters are that hard to detect. To Nytri, it was like her nose was in their armpits the whole time.
- Summoning: Summoning is when people bring creatures from other parts of the world to form a contract. The creatures often can refuse but if they accept the contract, the rate of growth increases by 2 times. So normally creatures accept especially when the master is stronger or worth them.
- Summoning types: There's no specific types since you can basically summon anything if you know the runes. The runes taught by the academy are for magical creatures. Nytri used this to summon eggs and hatched the Azurians from them. And yes, humans can be summoned and contracted. It's even possible to forcefully summon someone if you are strong enough and know the runes.
