"I don't know about you, but I personally do not accept anything less than excellence. I refuse to be pushed around by a group of mindless puppets once again.
This time, it can only end in their destruction!" said Dante
maybe it was because the students were the students were also suffering from the same kind of frustration as Dante, but Dante's words quickly received the approval of the crowd of students.
seeing that he had gotten all the students on his side, Dante nodded in satisfaction before he quickly spoke again.
"Now let's not waste any more time. Get into formation!"
As soon as Dante said this,
the group of students quickly moved as they got back into the spear formation.
while the students were still moving, Dante didn't waste any time and quickly released his mental energy.
Instantly, tendrils of pure mental power stretched out from Dante started forming connections with each students setting the final stage of the battle formation.
As soon as Mr Kriel saw that the students had gotten back into formation, he simply waved his hand and as he did, the group of puppets quickly jerked, before they went charging forward yet again.
Seeing the puppets charging at them once more, Dante took in a deep breath before he shouted to the rest of the students.
"All right guys, they're approaching now! Just remember to stay calm and keep the formation up and we'll have this easy!"
with Dante's words, the rest of the students just nodded as they tightened the grip on their spears.
"Ready! Attack on my mark!"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Attack!" Cried Dante
At first, things seemed to be going well. A cloud of purple energy slowly started forming and curling around the rest of the formation.
But before these coils could even reach the tip of the spears, this cloud of purple energy flickered, quickly flashing in and out of reality before fizzling out like smoke
'crack!'
As soon as all this happened, Dante felt countless mental connections shatter and break away.
'Shit!' Thought Dante
'Which Bastards broke away from the formation yet again!!'
Dante could only grit his teeth under the mental backlash of the collapsed formation and this time, Dante didn't even bother to try and reform the mental connections!
Seeing that the formation had collapsed, and the puppets were already so close, Dante knew that he had no time to try and reform the spirit array.
So instead of just standing there and taking a beating, Dante brutally thrust his spear outward, hitting the puppet with unprecedented power.
"Bang!"
A loud sound rang out as Dante's powerful spear strike blasted the wooden puppet backwards, sending it miles away from the spear formation.
But even after that, Dante's attack didn't end there.
quickly looking around, Dante soon locked on to the nearest puppet towards him, and slowly pulling his arm backwards, hurled his spear directly towards it
"boom!"
the spear practically teleported across the field before it crashed straight on into the puppet's chest
In face of such overwhelming power, the puppet never stood a chance and was easily sent flying through the sky.
just as Dante had dealt with the second puppet and was looking around to find his next target, a cold voice echoed through the sky yet again.
"You guys allowed the formation to collapse again. It's a fail"
Mr Kriel just shook his head as he retrieved all the damaged wooden puppets.
He then replaced all the broken puppets with a brand-new pair before turning to the rest of the students
"you guys will have to try again but this time don't let the formation fall apart!"
After hearing the repetitive words of Mr Kriel, the students could only back into formation with Dante connecting them all into the spirit array.
But in the end, after all that hassle, none of the results had changed at all
"Crash!"
Once again, the crowd of puppets could be seen crashing through the spear formation, sending the group of students flying everywhere.
Before Dante could even react and help his classmates, Mr Kriel's voice rang out again
"Fail."
"You guys really have to try harder."
Dante's frustration was starting to build up now, as he could already feel himself getting more and more agitated.
as he rounded up his soldiers back into the formation, Dante decided to calm himself down as he went to try again, but in the end, nothing even changed...
4 times,
5 times,
6 times,
7 times!
7 times did Dante form a spirit array, connecting with each and every student, and on all 7 occasions did the students end panicking and breaking the formation!
To Dante's frustration, instead of the students getting better with each try, his fellow classmates seemed to be getting worse!
But it wasn't just Dante that was getting frustrated, the students around him had also had enough.
Even a Saint would eventually get angry after being thrown around ceaselessly, much less this group of students!
This class of students could all be considered top talents. They were all special talents in their clans that had been taken care of since birth, so being beaten around endlessly for hours was not something they were used to.
An aura of discontent and anger at Dante was brewing among the students.
Dante was the heart of the formation.
He was meant to be coordinating the whole formation procedure, yet they hadn't even been able to even pull off one successful formation.
Surely he had to be at fault by this point?
Whether this line of thinking was true or not didn't matter to the students.
All that mattered was that somebody had to take the blame and they definitely wouldn't be blaming themselves.
As a result of this, many of the students were sending dissatisfied looks, with the bold ones among them even sneakily glaring In Dante's direction.
but even with all the frustration in the air, no one dared to confront Dante with their discontent.
They were frustrated, but they weren't stupid.
Eating the ire of the Dragon son over a small drill just wasn't worth it and everybody else also seemed to realise this.
Well, almost everyone.
As Dante was recovering from the backlash of the shattered spirit array, he slowly walked back towards and as he was slowly walking towards the Spear formation, he could hear someone sneakily mutter under their breath.
"If it wasn't for this fool, we would have already completed the formation by now. I really don't know what his problem is!"
Dante was already feeling extremely stressed and pissed off from the continuous shattering of the spirit array and once he heard this, it was truly the straw that broke the camel's back.
Dante finally snapped!
You see, as the heart of the formation, Dante has the role of preparing and bearing the weight of the spirit array used to set up the battle formation.
It's because of this role that whenever the battle formation fails and the spirit array collapses, Dante is faced with a terrifying mental backlash. Every time the Battle formation failed, Dante would be faced with a terrifying pain in his brain. It was almost like a sharp nail was being hammered straight into his brain!
Yet even with this pain, Dante never took his frustration out on his fellow classmates.
But right now, some students
was actually trying to pin the blame on him and try to make it like he was at fault!
Dante was never one to shy away from criticism, but he wasn't about to take some random trash talking, not after all the shit he had to deal with as the heart of the battle formation!
merely seconds after hearing those words, Dante's body flickered as he instantly appeared in front of The student.
With his Dragon fear aura in full effect, Dante coldly stared down at the student as he asked,
"I heard you mutter something. Are you speaking to me?"
But surprisingly, unlike the other students that were cowering under Dante's dragon fear aura, the student just stared up at him with treeless piercing eyes.
Due to the clunky armour and helmet, all the students were wearing it was hard to tell all of them except for Dante apart.
But even with the helmet on, Dante could still see the student below sneering at him.
