Chapter 27: The Night a Martial Student Shocked the City

The Night a Martial Student Shocked the City

"What are they teaching these kids these days? No common sense at all!"

"In a situation like this, you’re supposed to evacuate immediately!"

*"BOOM!!!"*

Before he could finish his sentence—

A massive explosion erupted from the battlefield.

A crimson flash lit up the night.

The rhino had smashed through several defensive beast-girls.

Shattering the defense force’s formation in a single devastating charge.

Like an avalanche—once the line broke, everything collapsed.

"It’s over. We’re done for."

"This is all your fault—wandering around at night like that!"

The male beast-soul master’s face twisted with despair.

He turned to berate the student further—

But his words died in his throat.

The martial high school student and his beast-girl were walking slowly toward the two-story-tall Crimson Tooth Giant Rhino.

"Are you insane?!"

"Run! We can’t hold it much longer!"

But the next moment—

That stunningly beautiful beast-girl rose into the air.

A terrifying power gathered in her hands.

Her white silver hair flowed in an unseen wind.

Her golden eyes blazed with divine light.

The rhino’s massive body began to tremble uncontrollably.

For the first time, fear flickered in its savage eyes.

**[Sacred Beast Skill · White Tiger Judgment]**

Activate!

An invisible blade materialized in the air.

In an instant—dozens of strikes descended upon the rhino.

The impenetrable hide that had defied the defense force’s attacks was being carved open like paper.

Layer by layer.

Tearing apart under the beast-girl’s assault.

*CRASH!*

The massive body collapsed to the ground.

A terrified bellow—cut short.

Then—silence.

Only the sound of blood pooling.

And chunks of flesh hitting the ground.

Every beast-girl on the battlefield froze.

Unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

A student still in his school uniform.

His beast-girl had slain a Level 50 Crimson Tooth Giant Rhino with a single beast-soul skill?

What kind of joke was this?

"Th-This... how is this possible?"

"Wh-Who is he?"

The beast-girls murmured among themselves.

Their eyes filled with awe and reverence.

---

*[Killed one Crimson Tooth Giant Rhino. Due to defeating a higher-level enemy, bonus Soul Power x1300% acquired!]*

*[Ding! Your beast-girl has leveled up.]*

*Level up?*

It made sense—killing something 32 levels above her was no small feat.

A single level was actually modest.

Leon searched through the rubble nearby.

His eyes lighting up as he spotted a crimson-glowing core.

He picked it up.

Examined it briefly.

Then bit into it without hesitation.

A surge of rich mana flooded into his body.

*[Ding! Your mana cap has been increased. Mana +1]*

"Now that’s quality. One core gives a full point of mana!"

"Too bad these things are so rare. If I could find a nest of these rhinos..."

The defenders around him nearly choked.

These terrifying beasts were already a nightmare.

One was bad enough.

And this kid was saying he wanted more?

If there were more of these things, Aurelia City would be flattened!

Everyone swallowed hard.

---

Soon, Leon and his stunning beast-girl faded into the moonlight.

Disappearing from sight.

"Captain... that student..." one of the beast-girls began.

But the captain cut her off with a wave of her hand.

"Enough. He’s not someone we can afford to cross. Let’s clean up the battlefield."

The rabbit-eared captain was still shaking internally.

*Which martial high school was that uniform from?*

*No. 1? No. 2?*

*Just how terrifying are this year’s martial high school students?*

Her mind raced with questions she knew she’d never get answers to.

The rhino’s massive corpse lay in the street.

Blood pooling beneath it.

A reminder of what had just happened.

What a student had just done.

What a student’s beast-girl had just accomplished.

The night was silent again.

But the city had changed.

And no one knew it yet.
