“Students, come with me . Wind Magicians, go to the front and find us a path!” Xue Musheng hastily yelled out .

The students closest to the window began to frantically escape to the corridor . However, there were a large number of students from other classes in the corridor, they crowded around the place as they all lost their rationality while shrieking .

Shrieking, cries, and the yells of the teachers had resounded throughout the entire corridor . It was a situation where it was difficult for even teachers to control . 1

Mo Fan was still standing in the corridor, cautiously watching those students who were frightened to death . His eyes displayed a bit of grief .

They were just like a group of wild deer . As soon as a deer was frightened by a wolf, it would begin run away . Once all of the other deer saw this, they would also frantically try to escape . In reality, there was only one wolf, and as long as the deer stood united and raised their horns, a few more wild wolves would not necessarily be their match .

This fear was contagious, even Mo Fan’s former world was similar in this sense . Otherwise, how could so many shocking stampedes happen?

The people in the classroom were all so scared that most of them took a step back, the skills they were taught on daily basis had all disappeared in this moment .

“Lightning Strike, Mad Whip!”

A chant was resounded from the classroom . Mo Fan turned his head around and saw Xu Zhaoting had made his move in anger . Traces of ferocious Lightning emerged from the air .

The traces of Lightning frantically whipped toward the One-eyed Magic Wolf under the control of Xu Zhaoting . Although the accuracy was somewhat lacking, there was still some lightning traces that hit the One-eyed Magic Wolf .

The Lightning Arc pierced through and surged in turns . Every time it swept past the One-eyed Magic Wolf, it caused it to let out low howls of pain . The flesh of its body began to twitch beneath the might of the Mad Whip .

“Hmph, just an One-eyed Magic Wolf scared them all into dogs, a group of cowards!” Xu Zhaoting swept his gaze past the people who were lagging behind those who ran away, his gaze full of disdain .

“That’s right, we have so many people, why are we still scared of just a few One-eyed Magic Wolves?” Wang Sanpang also stood up .

Just as he finished speaking, Wang Sanpang used a short period of three seconds to finish his Earth Ripple spell .

His pair of fat hands smacked onto the floor of the classroom, in an instant, a ripple circulated from the classroom all the way down to the cement campus grounds . The paralyzed One-eyed Magic Wolf was ferociously bumped into the other basketball hoop under the quick movements of Earth Ripple .

Zhoumin could be considered to have some courage, she quickly finished her Fire Star Path and a ball of Fire Burst emerged in her grasp .

Taking advantage of the One-eyed Magic Wolf having fallen down, Zhoumin’s Fire Burst quickly streaked across the flagpole of the school as it accurately hit the One-eyed Magic Wolf that was being pressed beneath the basketball pole .

Fire Burst: Burning Bone’s might was naturally powerful . In an instant, it burned the backboard into ashes . The One-eyed Magic Wolf began to constantly howl under the fire as it rolled around the campus grounds .

Soon enough, another few Magicians with different elements began to cast their spells from different locations . Judging by the level of their spells, it was clear that it was some Practical Teachers who cast them . Under their cooperation, they quickly turned the rash One-eyed Magic Wolf into a scorched carcass!

Seeing the One-eyed Magic Wolf being quickly disposed of, Mo Fan slightly let out a sigh of relief . It seems like not all of the people in school were a group of losers .

“Come over here,” Xue Musheng said to the seemingly calm students who remained in the classroom .

Xu Zhaoting, Zhao Kunsan, Mu Bai, Zhoumin; these were the people who were able to directly face Magical Beasts back in Practicals . It had been a year since then, their fear toward Magical Beasts was no longer as deep as before .

All of them came over . They didn’t know why Xue Musheng had suddenly made them stay behind .

“Originally, this kind of responsibility should be carried by the teachers . However, there are sightings of large numbers of One-eyed Magic Wolves in the back mountains, and the strength of our teachers is limited . Now, we have no choice but to draw support from the strengths of you students,” Xue Musheng said with a seriousness that no one had seen before .

“Teacher, let’s not waste too much time in this kind of time . If you have something to say, hurry up and spill it . ” Wang Sanpang couldn’t help but speak up .

“We need a Vanguard Squad . I’m afraid the Vanguard Squad will mainly be comprised of students .

“The Vanguard Squad will be separated from the Main Group, practically independent . Furthermore, they have to walk ahead of the Main Group .

“The nearly two thousand people from our school will follow the path opened by the Vanguard Squad . Your group has the strongest combat prowess amongst our entire school, you are definitely not inferior to any teacher . Thus, we hope you can form a Vanguard Squad that can show everyone the way to the Safety Shelters,” Xue Musheng said .

As this was said, all of these students turned silent . For a few moments, they were unable to unable to process this plan .

The truth is, they themselves didn’t know if they were able to fight against Magical Beasts after they separated themselves from the main group . Having them become the Vanguard Squad, the risk was indeed quite big .

“This decision is up to yourselves, we won’t force you . If you aren’t willing, then I will go and find other students . We will just be delayed for a bit longer and the danger will be a bit larger… This Vanguard Squad will be led by me, please give me your response as soon as possible, alright?” Xue Musheng said .

“Mrs . Xue, I’ll join . ” Zhoumin had no hesitation, she took the initiative and joined the Vanguard Squad first .

“I will also join . ” Xu Zhaoting also didn’t ponder over it too much .

Wang Sanpang and Xu Zhaoting were good friends . Since Xu Zhaoting have already joined, he could only join with a bitter face .

Xue Musheng slightly nodded . With a Lightning Magician here, the Squad’s combat prowess would be one level higher . They should be able to successfully arrive at the Safety Shelters .

“I will also join . ”

Mu Bai and his henchman Zhao Kunsan glanced at each other, and then finally chose to join .

Following this, an Earth element student with an exceptionally good grade also joined .

Zhang Xiaohou however left his gaze on Mo Fan, it seemed as though he was processing this plan .

“Brother Fan, are we following the main group or are we choosing the Vanguard Squad?” Zhang Xiaohou asked .

“Let’s join the Vanguard,” Mo Fan replied .

“I didn’t know that Brother Fan was also a man with high principles . ” Zhang Xiaohou was really able to find joy in sorrows . He was still able to make a joke in this kind of situation .

“Going with the main group is even more dangerous,” Mo Fan said indifferently .

“Why?” Zhang Xiaohou asked, puzzled .

The main group had at least seventeen hundred people . With that kind of colossal number, even if they were to suffer the attacks of a group of Magical Beasts, they still wouldn’t be in much danger . After all, the seventeen hundred people were practically Magicians .

“You saw what just happened . With the appearance of a single One-eyed Magic Wolf, the entire floor panicked . That is the instinct of weaklings; not only are they transmitting fear to each other, they are also able to magnify the fear infinitely . Thus, the Main Group’s battle prowess will be limited . If I’m not wrong, then just a hundred Magical Beasts will completely wipe out the main group . With such a large group of people walking, that is equivalent to easily attracting a group of Magical Beasts, or even higher level Magical Beasts . I don’t want to be associated with a large group of sheep . When their time comes, whether they live or die is not something they are in control of,” Mo Fan whispered to Zhang Xiaohou .
