Chapter 16: The Savior Comes
Ilvermorny is a school of witchcraft and magic - and as such, it doesn't keep bears like a circus. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Given the huge magic cover above it that didn't look like an ornament and its long history, it is estimated that even a magical creature nearby would not have the courage to rush in.
Then, naturally, the origin of the bear can be imagined - it is Annie.
Normally, Anne wouldn't summon Tiebs - this only happens when she can't use the usual spells to deal with trouble.
Even though Alan knew that this was Ilvermorny and not some wilderness, he was still very worriedβin a sense, the wizards of Ilvermorny were more dangerous than the magical creatures of the wilderness.
It's a pity that the guys in front of him obviously have no intention of making way for him.
So, just as the Ilvermorny men had just recovered from the roar of the bear that had caught their attention, a figure with a blue afterimage lunged at the boy at the head of them.
Before the young wizards could react, the boy had bent over in painβand then, while a great force grabbed his neck, a wave of terror from his soul caused the leading wizard to lose all his combat effectiveness.
Even if it's a head-on attack, there's still the potential for a sneak attack - as long as you're too fast for the other side to react.
With the help of the three skills of Ghost Walk, Healing, and Critical Strike, Eren successfully completed this frontal sneak attack.
Then, before the frightened little wizards could react, Allen's other free hand had already drawn his wand.
"The flames are blazing!"
With the shouting of Ellen's spell, a huge ball of flame flew from his wand, blocking the view of the wizards who wanted to attack him.
Then, as hard as he could, Alan threw the wizard he had controlledβhe leaped into the flames, and then Eren heard only a few incantations and a slight pop that hit someone.
Amid a bunch of exclamations from the captains and the like, Alan turned and ran in the direction where he heard the bear roar - although it would take him a few minutes at most to deal with the little wizards in the back, he felt that even a second of waste was redundant for now.
Taking advantage of the duration of the ghostly walk, Alan quickly ran down the hallway of Ilvermorny - luckily most of the students were still in class at the moment, so there was no crowd of students blocking the way.
The occasional passing wizard felt as if he had encountered a madman todayβthe youngest exchange student was running through the castle at a speed they couldn't have imagined, and an afterimage was even drawn behind him.
Occasionally, a few unconvinced little wizards were ready to do it, but they found that the exchange student was so fast that they couldn't even take aim.
As he approached the place of the incident, Alan noticed that there were already a few onlookers, and at this moment, they were standing around a corner, pointing at the corridor where there was no popping sound, and their faces were smiling.
This was not good news - Ilvermorny's wizard's smile was clearly not directed at Anne - so there was no doubt that Anne was weak inside, but there was no great danger in listening to the movement.
The sound of Allen's running was directly made up by the others who had rushed to see the excitement, so they turned their faces with a smile to see if the new guy was a student of the academy - but unfortunately, their smiles were answered by a few slumber charms that barely had any gaps.

Henry - A wizard of Ilvermorny's Cat and Leopard Academy.
He had been Ilvermorny's most gifted wizard - when he was admitted to the hospital, all but the statue representing the Goblin Academy extended an olive branch to him.
And after entering the school, his grades have always been right because of his superb talent, he is almost a model student in the eyes of the teacher, and the classmates don't have to look at who the first place is.
Unfortunately, for some geniuses, the most intolerable thing is the existence of the same genius - just like Edison and Tesla.
Always considered himself gifted, he met a genius who had been recognized by all four houses - and a genius who was dismissive of Ilvermorny's hand of friendship.
What he was most proud of in his life was his superb talent and the existence of Ilvermorny, both of which had been trampled on by the young girl.
So, after losing the game, he vigorously promoted the abomination of the exchange students from Hogwarts - and his childish tricks were unimaginably successful despite the headmaster's previous hints.
A full five third-year companions agreed to what seemed to be a slightly shameless ambush - and in order to ensure the success of the operation, they even waited for the wizard who had shown his talent for defensive magic on the court to be separated from the young genius.
It's a pity that the mortal sorcerers who lay at Henry's feet and were badly wounded made it clear the fruits of this vile ambush.
Genius is not the same as genius - the little girl's subtle magic tells them why their headmaster would be so kind to invite a young wizard.
Their magic was easily bounced off or blocked by a shield of flames, and the little witch's two successive flame spells easily tore through their iron armor spell and slammed the wizard to the ground.
That's right, it's not an exaggeration, the guy who was hit by two consecutive magic shots was lying on the ground in a big shape at the moment, his hair turned scorched and curled as if he were dead under the hot fire magic, and as for his expensive wizard's robe, which was said to be made of special fabric, it had become full of burnt holes - if it weren't for the slight movement of his charred hair from time to time under the effect of exhaled breath, they would have even suspected that this companion had hung up.
After this turn of events, the group lost the courage to resist, but the little witch with a sweet look and smile did not let them go, and she quickly sealed their retreat with flames, and then began to name them one by one with that powerful spell - in the terror, all the wizards except him were knocked to the ground by the same spell.
As he waited desperately for an attack, a bright silver shield stood in front of him with a puff of smoke, blocking the spell.
Here comes the savior.
