Chapter

Eighteen

People began arriving a few minutes later, popping into the clearing through Dredd’s portals. Sylph, Gaves, and the other close combat fights were the first to arrive, followed after by Delph. All of them were haggard and, other than Sylph, were all covered in small cuts and wounds. Carson brushed a thin layer of dirt off his blonde hair and waggled his fingers at Yui, who grinned and waved in response.

Even Delph looked a little more tired than normal. He had small bags under his eyes and his stubble was thicker than normal. It was only a few days away from becoming a scruffy beard. The professor chewed on a small twig and spat it onto the ground, nodding in greeting at Dredd and Damien.

The other students all arrived shortly afterward. Everyone looked exhausted and worn to the bone, but not a single one of them looked like they were ready to give up. Determination ruled everyone’s expressions, mixed in with the weariness and sweat that had built up from days of work.

Kat and Aven were the last to arrive. Of everyone in the clearing, the two of them looked like they’d had it the worst. Kat’s clothes were torn up and her eyebrows scorched. Aven’s hair stuck out in every direction as if she’d been struck by a bolt of lightning and she had more wounds than any of the others.

Damien couldn’t help but notice Quinlan hadn’t returned with the others. Everyone else, including Bella and Viv, had gotten back, and none of them looked concerned, so he figured it likely wasn’t anything to worry about.

“What happened to all of you?” Elania asked, her eyes going wide. “Did you forget to bring healing water?”

“Of course not,” Delph said irritably. “We just ran out. What have you lot been doing? Dredd taking it easy on you?”

“I never go easy,” Dredd said. “I just have enough foresight to pack sufficient supplies.”

He dug several flasks of healing water out of a portal and distributed them amongst the students, pointedly not handing one to Delph. Everyone gratefully accepted them, draining the flasks within seconds.

“Babying the children won’t get them ready for the field,” Delph said. “It’s not realistic.”

“They can train harder when they aren’t broken.”

“Don’t start this now, boys,” Kat said, stepping between them. “We’ve got a lot of work to do and not a lot of time to do it. Or have you forgotten?”

Dredd grunted. “True enough. Let’s get to the point then. I trust all your students have gathered the reason why we’ve reconvened?”

“We aren’t strong enough to take on the Corruption alone,” Xil said. “We need to work in teams, so we’re going to pair up.”

“Correct,” Delph said, clapping his hands once. “Every team needs one person that can hold the Corruption’s attention and one person who can seal its powers off. Ideally, we’d have more than that. Probably two to hold the monsters back, one to seal it, and a support. Unfortunately, we don’t have the manpower for that. So, for the time being, you’ll be working with a single partner.
