"Everyone prepare yourselves!" Leo warned Axel and the others inside the cabin.
Without questioning anything, Axel and the others quickly followed after Leo upstairs.
As soon as they arrived at the top of the boat, they quickly went to their respective position.
"What happened?" Axel can't help but ask. They were just eating awhile ago, yet a really serious thing has actually happened.
"Yeah, the problem shouldn't have arisen since it was only you and teacher Homer up here!" Murgan added. Leo and teacher Homer were both smart people, so they should have easily been able to easily avoid a dangerous situation during their shift.
Unless, of course,
"We meet a troublesome Magical Beast Shark!" Leo informed.
"How troublesome?" Aiden asked.
"He literally wants to knock on our doors, no matter how many times we try to change directions," Leo answered.
"The heck such Magical Beast actually exists?" Axel became dumbfounded.
"How people behave is likewise how Magical Beast behaves." Levi butted in.
"Yep, as long as one is living, either a person or a Magical Beast, then they are bounded to have similar traits!" Teacher Homer added.
Hearing teacher Homer's words, Leo nodded his head. That was the same thing as what his Master Olivia had told him before.
After a while, more than 50 Magical Beast Sharks surfaced from the ocean, surrounding the boat in all directions, even the sky up above them.
"Prepare yourselves!" Teacher Homer ordered as he released the Magic power of a powerful 5 Star Mage all around the boat, hoping to scare some weaker Magical Beast Shark.
The Magical Beast Sharks that surround them range from No Star to 3 Star Magical Beast, so teacher Homer thought that he might scare them since he is a higher level than them.
Contrary to that, though, no one actually got scared of teacher Homer's Magic power. In fact, they even planned to let that powerful Mage expand the perimeter of the Magic Power he is currently releasing in order to attract more Magical Beast Sharks.
"Stop releasing!" Levi quickly warned.
Without thinking any longer, teacher Homer also followed after. The moment he started releasing his Magic power, he quickly realized that he had done something really stupid.
The Magic power when released in the ocean actually forms into a complete sphere, which is really different when inland since it would only form half a sphere since it cannot spread to the ground.
Teacher Homer was long aware of that fact, but what he never expected was that it would actually attract some more Magical Beast Sharks towards them instead of scaring them away.
"As long as we are in the ocean, then no Magical Beast Sharks would show any fear!" Levi explained. "Especially to mere Humans!"
"They dare underestimate our race?" Axel exclaimed.
"Actually, Humans are nothing but a side dish for them..." Levi answered, "To be more exact, Humans are side dishes that only a few even want."
"What?!" Axel can't help but feel annoyed, "Then what is the main dish?"
"Merlfolks are the main dish!" Levi replied.
"Aren't they tired of always eating seafood?" Murgan suddenly added.
"Aren't you tired of always eating pork, beef, and chicken?" Levi rolled his eyes.
"....."
The moment the Magic power was retracted, the Magical Beast Sharks finally began their assault.
"Kraaaghhh!"
"Kraaaghhh!"
All of the Magical Beast Sharks charged directly straight towards the boat.
The moment the boat was destroyed, they could pretty much cherry-pick all the Humans afterwards.
"I'll cast a Magical barrier so that they cannot easily destroy the boat. You guys go and try your best to kill as many No Star Magical Beast as possible!" Teacher Homer said.
"Roger!" Everyone nodded in unison.
*Whoooosh!
A Magical barrier right after appeared to defend the boat.
"Focus your Magic spells only at those No Star Magical Beast, you still can't cause any noticeable damage to 1 Star Magical Beast!" Teacher Homer reminded once again.
At this moment, Leo realized that he wouldn't be able to do much help. He was almost always relying on his Elementals or his weapons, hence his Magic spells weren't up to the standards yet of causing even the No Star Magical Beast enough damage. Not to mention, this was the ocean too. With the waves making the boat always move around, his accuracy in casting Magic spells was pretty much affected.
Fortunately, he has his Glacier Bow on his back. So, he would still be able to lend a hand nonetheless. With how familiar he was with using a bow, he can always assure the accuracy no matter the situation, unlike the Magic spell which he was still not that familiar with.
*Whooooosh! *Whooooosh!
2 Arrows went directly straight towards the 2 Magical Beast Sharks that has launched in 2 different direction towards Axel.
*Pluck! *Pluck!
"Thank you, Leo!" Axel said before quickly returning back to fight mode.
*Whaaaash!
A Magical Beast Shark suddenly jumps behind Leo.
Quickly noticing the Magical Beast Shark, Leo swiftly folded his Glacier Bow, turning it into a melee weapon with two sharp pointed ends.
He then dodged to the side before he quickly stabs the Magical Beast Shark body the moment it passed by him and just letting the Magical Beast Shark's forward momentum cause further damage.
Afterwards, another Magical Beast Shark jumped up behind him, which he also quickly noticed due to the sound of the splashes it had caused.
He dodged again to the side before folding back the Glacier Bow into its bow form as he quickly shoots 2 arrows aiming straight towards the injured Magical Beast Shark and the other incoming Magical Beast Shark.
*Whoooosh! *Whooosh!
*Pluck! *Pluck!
Both Magical Beast Sharks had its eyes penetrated by an arrow, causing it to die soon after because the arrow had reached the brain.
"Leo, catch!" Axel suddenly called out as he threw the 2 arrows that Leo had used towards the Magical Beast Shark that had tried to flank him on both sides.
"Thank you!" Leo quickly caught the arrow before nocking it into his Glacier Bow and shooting it straight towards the Magical Beast Shark that Murgan didn't notice behind him.
*Whooosh! *Whooosh!
*Pluck! *Pluck!
The Magical Beast Shark went for a few seconds halt after going blind due to the arrows that hit its eyes, which was enough for Murgan to turn around as he then threw a kick towards the 2 arrows, causing it to go further deeper into the eyes.
Murgan quickly jumped forward to throw his axe in front of him, where his target Magical Beast Shark threatened to jump back once again from the water, causing it to die. He then jumped back, took out the 2 arrows from the Magical Beast Shark's eyes, and throwing it back to Leo, before he took out another axe from his storage ring and chop it directly towards the Magical Beast Shark.
Leo caught the 2 arrows as he nocks it back once again and shooting it straight towards the incoming 2 Magical Beast Sharks in front of him.
*Whooosh! *Whooosh!
*Pluck! *Pluck!
However, due to the arrows being used 3 times already, it doesn't have enough strength anymore to penetrate straight to the brain, so it only caused one eye each of the 2 Magical Beast Sharks to go blind.
Leo suddenly jumped up in front, specifically towards the ocean, to meet with the 2 Magical Beast Sharks, threw a kick towards the 2 arrows, causing it to go deeper towards the brain. At the same time, he used the momentum of the 2 Magical Beast Shark's forward launch to propel him backward back to the boat.
Leo then looked at the quiver in his waist. After quickly noticing that there were still 16 more arrows remaining, he then breathed a sigh of relief.
"I need to keep on reusing arrows if I want to keep on fighting!" Leo told himself.
Turning around, Leo immediately saw 4 Magical Beast Sharks that had just recently jumped from the water straight towards Matthew, David, and Aiden's direction.
"F*ck! I just told myself to save some arrows!" Leo helpless thought as he took out 2 arrows and shooting it towards 2 Magical Beast Sharks and taking out another 2 more before repeating again the same action.
Fortunately, Aiden was able to take out 2 of the 4 arrows before the Magical Beast Sharks fell back into the water.
"Sorry!" Aiden yelled out as he threw Leo the 2 arrows.
"Don't mind!" Leo replied as he caught the 2 arrows, nocking it to his Glacier Bow, and shooting it once again towards Ehtelyn, Melthy, and Tiffany's direction. He was able to notice 2 Magical Beast Sharks that had just recently launched from the water.
"14!"
.....
"12!"
.....
"10!"
.....
"8!"
.....
"6!"
.....
"4!"
.....
"I'm in my last 2 arrows!" Leo informed everyone. With only 2 arrows remaining, he can no longer provide any support to the others, hence they now needed to be extremely careful.
"Got that!" Everyone replied in unison before they began to gather up in 3 separate groups, specifically Leo's group made up of Axel and Murgan to defend the front part of the boat, Ehtelyn's group made out of the girls to defend the middle part of the boat, and Aiden's group made out of Matthew and David to defend the rear of the boat.
"Keep on fighting, there are only a few more remaining!" Teacher Homer informed as he casted a Magic spell towards the flying Magical Beast Sharks, "Flaming Shot!"
Numerous balls of fire shoot around the air, aiming straight towards the flying Magical Beast Sharks.
With the level of teacher Homer, his accuracy with his Magic spells wasn't something to be questioned about. Every flaming ball hit a target, causing the sky above the boat to be cleared of Magical Beast Sharks afterwards.
"This is the last stretch! So keep on fighting until then!" Teacher Homer encouraged everyone.
