In the next morning … …

“Be careful young master … Never do something reckless there, understand young master? No matter how powerful you are, you can’t be careless … ” Sasha had unexpectedly advised Lyle not to act too rashly.

was indeed a very dangerous forest. And Sasha knew that.

In addition, although this Academy Field Trip seemed safe but everyone knows that this trip was like a one-way trip to hell. The reason this trip was done only once in a year is because during this trip, many students would die and would never be able to return.

Although the Enchanted Forest is filled with many dangers, the higher the risk, the higher the rewards. Thus, this trip was classified as a voluntary extracurricular class, so by no means mandatory.

Heading towards the Enchanted Forest for training was considered a rather significant event in the .

Lyle heard that in the past the students were taken there regardless of their opinion, but opposition was great in that time because of the rising death counts, so it became voluntary one day and since the participant count dropped year by year because of fear, it was now a combined event with the higher year levels.

There were still many students who was willing to take the risk and join because this event can really make them stronger. Because they knew that they needed real combat the most.

And only real combat would toughen a person’s mind. This is an essential thing required on the path of becoming strong.

Not only was the Enchanted with a variety of Demonic Beasts, there were also a diverse group of disreputable individuals, including some notorious characters.

Compared to the bloody and ruthless characters, the Academy’s students were like a sheep. Even though they weren’t weak, but they would not be a decent opponent for these ruthless individuals if a fight really happened.

Therefore, the also sent out a powerful guard force; such as mercenaries, adventurers and instructors in order to protect the students.

Besides, exploring the Enchanted Forest can also give them great benefits … they might experience some lucky encounters that can boost their power or even find some magical tools, herbs and any other things inside .

“Don’t worry about it, I’m just going out for a stroll~.” Lyle casually said.

Well, he had already went there so, that forest wasn’t really unfamiliar or anything. Besides, for him, that forest is quiet a memorable one because it was the place where he first met Sheila.

Moori didn’t say anything. She hugged Lyle tightly and lovingly. Although it would be a lie if she says she’s not worried but she was also confident of his strength.

Lyle felt a burst of tender emotions surfacing in his heart. He patted her back softly, “Wait for me to come back. I love you!”

“I love you too ”

Sheila also hugged him as she warned him repeatedly to be careful.

After bidding his farewell to the three girls. With renewed excitement, Lyle carried his two swords; Sakura and Yuki on his right waist and head to the Academy’s gate.

——————-

Large communal horse drawn carriages are parked in front of the Academy’s gate. The students load onto the carriages under the direction of the instructors.

Carriages are used for the long trip after considering the power level of the demon beast. The outer layer of the enchanted forest is a suitable place that meets the requirement of the field trip. And all the students were asked and was warned all over to never step deeper inside the forest .

At present, the majority of the students who joined the trip were youngster around the age of twenty. Although there were also some younger than them, but they were all just a minority.

There are no lack of beautiful woman among them, there are even a few with peerless talent, and devastatingly beautiful. Right now, there are at least over ten groups that arrived at the designated spot. There are even more people making their way over here.

When Lyle made an appearance, it immediately aroused everyone’s attention.

“So he is his highness Prince Lyle?”

“I heard of his name frequently!”

“This is that Academy City’s celebrity?”

“I finally meet this mad prince!”

“Tall and heroic, he looks quite handsome.”

“Stop gawking at him!”

Everyone was discussing spiritedly, regardless of male or female students, everyone focused their gaze on Lyle, and made all kind of comments regarding him.

“You also came?” Princess Feme looked at Lyle with astonishment. She really didn’t expect him to go with them knowing his real power.

She believe that even if he didn’t join them, he will still be able to pass, especially now that several instructors already knew his real rank and abilities.

“Yep” Lyle smiled nodding his head. Looking at the surrounding students, Lyle realized that it’s not only their class that was here but seemed like several classes was also here to participate.

So it’s really a joined class field trip … ~

After seeing that everyone had gathered, a man that looks like he was on his middle thirties nodded and spoke. “We will likely encounter low level monsters like goblins, but they’ll be no match against you all as long as you all cooperate properly with your own group. Everything will proceed smoothly if you follow our orders. ”

The majority of the class was passionately listening to the instructor’s speech.

Even though the exercise was arranged by the Academy, it did not mean it was completely free of danger.

The enchanted forest was a very famous, A-ranked forest so they know that it will really become a challenge.

One of the aims of the this field trip was to develop a tolerance towards murder by having the students kill humanoid monsters such as goblins, ogres and the like.

“After killing a monster, you should get its core as a proof. As for your safety, there’s no need to worry because there are various instructors, hired mages and warriors that will protect you whenever you are in danger. However, they will only help you if they deemed that it was already dangerous and you will then be disqualified for this test and will be marked as failed … ”

After the instructors speech, all the students present began to looked for their groups. Of course, Lyle wasn’t spared.

They hastily began to try inviting him to their own group but was stopped by the instructors.

“Prince Lyle Drake Dragonfang was tasked to join this test alone.” The male instructor announced.

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

As expected, as soon as the surrounding heard it they began to gossip and whisper towards each other.

This wasn’t bullying but a necessity. Lyle was an A-ranked mage/warrior and the rest are only at the D to C ranked mages and warriors. Although there were also some B and A rankers but they were from the higher years and were also sent alone or in group of two.

In order for the lower rankers to improve and gather experience, they were prohibited to join people with two ranks higher than them; these students need to work for themselves.

And Lyle understands it, so he didn’t object it. Rather, he welcomed it. Alone, he can venture the forest without any shackles~

“So, you are the rumored ‘Monster Prince’ huh? You don’t looked strong at all~.” A male student came in front of Lyle and said that.

Behind him were other four men. Three seemed like they were mages because they were wearing magician robes and two which seemed like warriors because they were wearing armors and swords.

The man who came in front of Lyle was a magician wearing blue colored robe, signifying he was a water magician.

Lyle was obviously not interested to meet them so he continued to lie in the grass while closing his eyes.

“Hey! The Boss is talking to you!” A warrior shouted at him.

Because of this, it naturally garnered the attention of all the surrounding people. Students began talking among themselves, even the people that are unhappy of Lyle in the past also felt sympathy for him.

In just one look, they saw five people surrounding Lyle.

“Isn’t that Beelo Zorc?”

“The first prince of the Zorc kingdom! I heard he was a bully, so he was now trying to bully the famous ‘Monster Prince’?”

“What?! Are they trying to bully my prince!!!? They’re seeking death!”

“Who are you?!”

“Shut up! Hmph, as if they can bully my prince! Right everyone!”

“”””””Yeah!!!””””””

Including several nobility girls within. Everyone were displeased with the methods of Beelo Zorc.

Lyle looked at the people in front of him, the corner of his mouth raised.

“Let him be, just because he was the dragonfang kingdom’s prince he thinks he can act like this~ How shameful.” The blue robed magician sneered, revealing faint hostility.

“It’s rather quite annoying hearing dogs barking~ Haa~ I’m rather hurt, I suppose you all really hate me huh, deliberately making it all the way here and ruin my mood. I do apologize that my senses are not sensitive enough to care for any ants, so please return … I’m rather tired~”

Hearing Lyle’s words, Beelo’s face turned red instantaneously.

“You bastard !!! Let me see if you’re really as what the rumors says-!” A red-robed magician shouted as he immediately create a small fireball in his hands. “Fiery flames of hell, burning the heavens, come down and judge my enemies !!”

The fireball was fired towards Lyle who was nonchalantly lying in the grass, causing every student to gasp in shock. However, before the fireball reached him …

“Groooaaaawwwwwlll!!!”

A very loud howl resounded in the whole place. All the students couldn’t help but immediately covered their ears in pain. And the fireball that was flying towards Lyle was instantly cut into two before completely vanishing.

— In its path was two black thin swords floating in mid-air.

However, what made all the student speechless was the fact that howl just now seemed like it came from these thin swords as it floated in the air. In the next second, the two thin swords trembled and then …

“Groooaaaawwwwwlll!!!”

— The two thin swords, in front of the dumbfounded eyes of the students became two foxes. One was golden and the other was flaming red. Their eyes bloodshot and filled with hostility as they glared at the one who casted that fireball.

Everything was silent.

What magic is this?

“Hiii -!!” Seeing the two foxes, the red-robed magician fell on his butt in fear.

“To dare attack our master! Dieee!!!” The flaming red fox was truly enraged as its whole body began to burn intensely. It then jumped as if it was going to pounced on the trembling red-robed magician. However,

“Sakura … ” It was called by Lyle whose eyes sparkled like a child seeing a lollipop.

Hearing her name being called, Sakura immediately stopped and instantly changed its attitude. Turning around, Sakura and Yuki rushed towards Lyle and pounced at him and under the weird gazes, licked Lyle’s face happily while rubbing their heads on him affectionately.

“Hahaha stop that … anyway, I didn’t know that you can materialize like this ? Look, everyone can see you two now …”

“Master, we also didn’t know. We just realize that we can actually do this a few days ago. I’m guessing that the increased in your strength because of that strange snake was the cause of it~” Sakura happily explained.

“Really ?”

“Yes master! With this, we can now be with master all the time … though we still needed to absorb your mana … ” Yuki shyly said while rubbing her head to Lyle’s cheeks.

“It’s fine, do what you want~” Lyle stroke their heads gently while laughing. “Anyway, let’s go … it seemed like we’re going to go now~”

Lyle stood up, pat his back from dirt and walked past Beelo. He was standing there like a statue: “I already said that you’re annoying so get lost or–is human language too difficult for you to understand? Should I use Demon Language?”

…

“Y-You basta–”

“Oh please stop. Actually, I don’t want to hear what you want to say. Think about it like this; you planning to say something useless will only consume the oxygen on the world.

However, if you really don’t care about your stinky breath, become a good-for-nothing scoundrel ╮(╯▽╰)╭, and disregard the many lives that have made noble sacrifices for your exothermic heat and my expensive and very important attention – Well them, please continue.” While saying so, Lyle patted Beelo’s shoulder’s which was trembling while smiling nonchalantly.

Faced with Lyle’s casual look, The other three men’s sweat could be seen flowing down their face.

Several instructors and students present opened their eyes and watched the scene unfold speechless.

There are several instructors which was thorough with the studies of magic treasures, yet they had never seen such a weird scene ever before.

What was this mysterious technique?

Or was it a magic treasure?

Under the dumbfounded gazes, Lyle nonchalantly walked while humming happily, followed by two beautiful golden and flaming foxes.
