Chapter 17: The Gear Monster

The ruins were bigger than they could see, and the streets and alleys that dotted through them made the whole ruins like a labyrinth. After the students walked in, they quickly dispersed into small groups, because after all, there was a competitive relationship with each other, and everyone only walked with people they trusted. Since Moritsuki Kazeshin was the only one who answered the question about the gear monster, he was naturally sought after by many students. However, he didn't seem to want to pay much attention to them, and just said to a few people around him who had the same blue hair as him, "The people of the Senyue clan follow me. Then he strode into a path.

"What, isn't it just a correct answer, what are you dragging?" A student of the rejected Wasteland City looked at Mori Yue Kazenobu and the others in the distance and said angrily.

"You don't have to look at this kid's face, we can still find that monster." The other big fat man said disdainfully, "It's just five of them." ”

However, when they really tried to find the gear monsters in the ruins, they found that things were not that simple. Many of the students rummaged through the rubble and dust for a long time, and saw nothing but some mice that had mutated to the size of cats and beetles covered in pitch black.

"Mr. Bai just said a certain number, maybe the number of gear monsters is simply not enough for each person to hunt 5." A little girl with short blond hair and a slight chubby muttered as she pulled out her third broken boot, tying the bag behind her back, the shriveled bag showing that she had found nothing so far.

"That guy is desperate for a reason to fire us." Karina, who was on the side, said indignantly as she kicked away an old music box. "When I have time, I will definitely report it to my father."

"Princess Karina is a potential sensitive, so she should be lighter than our mission, right?" A tall, thin boy with a mushroom head said to her.

"What a fool's that you say, Colin." Karina said impatiently, "It's only the first class today, and there is no advantage at all for the senser or anything!" ”

"That's right." Colin sneered, "Don't worry, Princess Karina, Betty and I will give you the gear monster first." ”

"You mean, I'm not as good as you?" Karina said to Colin domineeringly. "I have to wait until you catch the youkai for me before I can complete the mission, does that mean, Colin?"

"I didn't mean that, Your Highness the Princess." Colin hurriedly waved his hand in denial, his face flushing as if he was about to ignite steam, "I just wanted you to know that we will do everything in our power to help you, Your Highness Princess." ”

"No," said Karina haughtily, "first, you are not strong enough to say such things as helping me in front of me; Second, your father is also the Marquis of the City of Glass, don't always grovel before me like a subordinate; Third," she said as she squinted at him, "this is Liuli Academy, call me by name, don't call me any princess." ”

"Yes...... Yes, princess...... No, Karina. Colin said resignedly, a flash of joy on his face when he heard Karina let herself call her name.

"Of course, it's fine, it's better not to call me." Karina added indifferently.

"Shhhh Betty suddenly looked up at a four-story building that had broken and said to the two.

Karina and Colin looked up to find a cogwheel monster looking at them eerily from behind a concrete slab that had been turned upwards and connected to steel bars, not much bigger than a mouse, but full of sinister eyes and sharp fangs.

"Finally showing up." Karina sneered and said to the two beside her, "I will attack from the front, and you will block its retreat." Without waiting for them to say yes, Karina rose from where she was and sped up the collapsed pillars on the side of the ruined building.

Colin and Betty work together to make their way to the back of the building, Collin's weapon is a black light gun, and Betty holds a crossbow made of alloy. The gear monster stared at Karina, who was running all the way towards him, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to escape, but still took a big bite of the cement slab in front of him unhurriedly, chewed it a few times like eating popcorn, and swallowed it.

Karina frowned in disgust, jumped up to an open window on the third floor, and pulled out a golden whip several meters long in the void in her hand, and threw it at the gear monster. The end of the whip was in the shape of a lotus, with a slight electric light, and the moment it touched the gear monster, the monster suddenly "snapped" and disappeared out of thin air from behind the cement slab. The cement slab was instantly smashed into countless pieces by the golden whip, and the gear monster reappeared from the platform on the second floor, glanced back at Karina upstairs, and cracked its mouth and let out a sharp laugh.

"It's down there, and this thing will jump in space." Karina hurriedly shouted to Betty and Colin downstairs.
