Johnny Stephen: Standing tall at 6 feet 6 inches, weighing 374 pounds, he majors in «Defense», so he’s pure meat shield.
Among the third-year students, Johnny is known as the “Impenetrable Fortress”.
Just like certain games, such straightforward tanks are very popular, and every team needs one. With Johnny among them, other teammates can unleash their skills and power freely.
This time, led by Johnny, is a team formation of four.
The team members are “Archer – Michelle Case”, “Fire Mage – Leopold Henry”, and “Cleric Mage – Heben Lawrence”.
Their overall level is above average among the third-year students.
Having spent more than two years at the Knight Academy, they indeed have the qualifications to ‘look down upon’ the freshmen just entering school but, these freshmen were different.
“This ”
Catching a hatchet barehanded.
Blacksmith Winry stops it with her bare right hand, firmly grabbing the axe blade, forcibly halting the swing.
“Johnny we should go. We can still manage to get to the outskirts.”
Leopold Henry, with a pair of fiery-red eyebrows in the team, glances at the freshmen magician – Dumps and shows an uncomfortable expression.
At the same time.
Squeak squeak squeak (Some kind of bird call)
In the small birdcage hanging from Archer – Michelle Case’s waist, a multi-colored parrot constantly emits a warning call.
The Archer wears a hood, obscuring her face.
Such callings make the Archer immediately look back towards the group of first-year freshmen.
Her gaze lingers on Han Dong who is dressed in a crow outfit
This Archer’s background isn’t in «Machinery», but is a major in >.
She has currently obtained 5 Fate Points and possesses a Unique power called “Beast Alert”.
While locking eyes with the new student cloaked in the crow doctor costume,
The Archer appears to have glimpsed something terrifying which caused her ears to sharply perk up.
“We’re leaving!”
This four-man team had already worked together various times before, everyone in the team had equal standing.
After the two members suggested relinquishing their claim over the accommodation, the team quickly came to a unanimous agreement and decided to leave immediately by jumping out of the window.
Johnny, in his giant suit of armor, lands with a dull thud, causing the ground to shake slightly.
He runs towards the other end of the town with a reluctant face, hoping to secure a room.
Inside the accommodation.
Team leader Abe was stunned, “That strength was terrifying, and also…”
Abe rushes over to grab Winry’s right hand, which she used to block the axe, immediately after he lands from the roof.
Sure enough.
Except for a slight hatchet mark, Winry’s palm was uninjured.
“Your hand?”
“Er it’s a personal secret. My master doesn’t allow me to tell others. My hand can even withstand the furnace flames without issue ”
“What about the rest of your body?”
“The rest are slightly… weaker…”
“Impressive!”
For a moment, Abe felt like he had gained a new competitor on the path of growth, revealing a truly joyful smile.
Abe starts to assign tasks to everyone:
“Great! This place will be our ‘accommodation’.
Could you please fix the doors, windows and stone seams in cooperation with Dumps, Miss Winry?
Nicholas, you and Miss Mia should know how to deploy the barrier, right? Please set up two layers of barrier, inside and outside, to ensure safety.”
“I got it! Leave it to me!” Mia immediately raises her hand to signal.
The crucial accommodation is settled thus.
According to the quality and location of the accommodation,
A comprehensive assessment of the accommodation found by team leader Abe, could be ranked in the top five among all the Apprentice Knight teams. That could be considered a great start.
“Why retreat? They are nothing but a group of gifted newcomers.
If it comes to a fight, we can easily suppress them with a little effort In terms of real-life combat experience, these newcomers are certainly weaker.”
Johnny’s squad hurriedly found a residence near the outskirts of the town.
But this Meat Shield Johnny looked a little dissatisfied.
Flame Mage-Leopold explained first:
“Dumps Martin is a freshman, who was given the highest appraisal by Lady Hera. His name is well-known throughout the library.
I don’t want to provoke this trouble, as it might hinder my future studies if Lady Hera is annoyed.”
“Leopold, you are just as selfish Don’t the seniors have any dignity?”
At this moment.
Archer Michelle in the team took off her hood and revealed a pair of fluffy beast ears.
She mainly studies Druid and combined her own blood with that of a feline Beastman she had obtained from the Fate Space, causing her physical changes.
Aside from the beast ears and a pair of green pupils, she’s just like a regular human.
“Big guy, this group of newcomers is not easy to mess with!
In their team, there is an ‘extraordinarily gifted individual’ whose presence causes my ‘Little Willis’ to keep giving danger warnings It’s that student dressed in a crow costume.”
“Crow costume… Oh! I think I’ve seen someone like that.”
Johnny merely glanced at Han Dong, not really paying attention.
“Is it that big a deal?” Johnny didn’t quite believe it, but he knew very well that Michelle’s parrot pet never got any danger warnings wrong.
“Yes it won’t be wrong!
I used the ‘Eye of Green Crystal’ to forcibly see through his crow coat inside it was turbid, as if there was a terrifying eye gazing back at me.
No It should be observing all of our movements.
When a fight starts, he would make a move in an instant!
Also, the white-haired kid you faced off against was ”
“Was what?”
It seems to be the beloved grandchild of Captain Kaimon, the only genius who received full marks in the entrance test this year the so-called ‘Body of a Hundred Beasts’.”
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner!!”
Johnny wasn’t very concerned about news regarding newcomers,
But the mere thought of the oppressive feeling he experienced when he faced Captain Kaimon in the arena a few days ago was enough to send chills down his spine.
Michelle pursed her lips, saying, “I just remembered too! That white-haired kid is a highly low-key genius. Even I only heard that Captain Kaimon’s grandson came to study but never knew what he looked like.”
“What kind of monsters are these newcomers? It’s a good thing it didn’t come to blows.”
“All thanks to my darling Willis who sensed the danger!
Alright, let’s regroup and start setting up a barrier around the home in preparation to begin our mission The next time we encounter these newcomers, remember to apologize, big guy!
I’m beginning to suspect that mysterious student who gave me a sinister feeling might be a student of the Crow Prophet.”
“The Prophet!”
The mere mention of the title scared Johnny into wiping the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief pulled from his pocket it’s impressive to have provoked so many big shots at once.”
Michelle took a small piece of snack from her pocket and gave it to Little Willis around her waist.
After such a minor incident.
With the help of everyone, the newcomer squad had completed the repair of their residence.
Blacksmith Winry contributed the most.
“You How much stuff did you bring?” Even Abe was surprised.
The doors and windows were replaced by Winry with a metallic version from the materials in her bag, and the cracks in the wall were reinforced with metal plates.
However, this only used up part of her materials.
Winry scratched her head: “Hehe, my master helped me stuff them in, these should be enough for us during the training period.”
“Well done let’s go! We are off to receive our first basic task.”
“Wait.”
Han Dong, who was in one of the rooms, stopped everyone who was about to leave on their task.
