Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

"Today, we will be doing a monster battle test." Another fighting test will be happening today. Now that I think about it, Avaris was a country dictated by power. For the next few months, I wouldn\'t be surprised if all we did was battle.

"As most of you know, monsters are currently rampant. The chances of you encountering a monster would be extremely high." Remembering the outing we had on our school trip, the chances of us fighting them were certain.

"Today\'s lesson would be a live battle against a monster." So, we were going to fight monsters? Seems easy enough.

"You will be grouped into four fighting against a third-rank monster." Do we have to be grouped into four people? Olivia would be someone with me, but I don\'t know the other two.

"Failing to do so, you would be required to do some retest until you pass the test." The punishment didn\'t seem too bad.

"If you still fail to beat a third-rank monster within three months, you will be expelled from your school." Never mind that that seems highly punishing, and besides. Does she even have the authority to do so?

Most of the class were shocked when they heard that. No one would expect to hear that they could be expelled during the second day of school.

"Does anyone else have any questions before we start?" Just as I was about to ask, someone else did before me.

"What right do you have to expel us when you don\'t even have any influence in our school?" I was going to ask that, but an exchange student had asked before me.

"Hoh, we teachers were given permission to do so unless we have a justification not to, don\'t expect to be scot-free if you did something wrong." I don\'t think anyone would do that hearing what she had said.

"Does anyone else have any other questions?" There wasn\'t much to ask, so nobody felt a question was needed.

"Now that is out of the way, please follow me to the field test area." After getting up from our seats, Ms. Colorful went up and left the room. We had to follow her since we didn\'t know where exactly we were going.

The school was pretty extensive. It had taken us ten minutes from our class to arrive at an open space with monsters locked up in cages.

They were oddly settled down in their cages. I thought they would be a bit rowdy when students like us would be visiting.

There were many monsters of different variants, from monsters that could fly to the sky to monsters that could live underground.

"All of you will be fighting a monster from this cage. You have one minute to find a group. If it so happens that you don\'t find one, you will be paired with the remaining members of the class." So, there weren\'t any penalties for not picking anyone?

It didn\'t matter who was on my team. Even if I held back, I was confident that I would be able to kill a third-rank monster as long as my team could damage the monsters.

The groups were being formed quickly. People had fought using their abilities, so most knew who to choose.

Olivia and I weren\'t considered a choice since they didn\'t know much about us and knew that Olivia didn\'t have any moves to attack.

I had stuck with Olivia, not minding who was left over. Rebecca had come over with another girl

who didn\'t seem interested in us much. Walking towards us, Rebecca smiled and talked to us.

"Charlie, the four of us are the only ones left." Everyone else had formed a group, and I was surprised that Rebecca wasn\'t picked from her peers. She probably rejected everyone\'s invitation just so she could be in mine.

Let\'s look at the bright side. Our chances of beating a third-rank monster without me doing much were pretty high with Rebecca and her friend. Rebecca had influenced our group\'s chances by not having anyone join them.

Besides, Rebecca was a person that I had recognized. Like Rebecca, she was someone also from this school. Her name was Reece, and she was a sheep beastmen? I wasn\'t entirely sure, but she had long white hair and sheep-like ears extending from her head.

During her battle yesterday, she played an exchange student like a fiddle. While her magic wasn\'t strong but it was tricky to deal with.

Her magic was cotton, a defensive type of magic. She could easily defend against attacks in her rank but could also use the cotton to deflect their magic. Deflect wasn\'t the right word I was looking for. It was more like absorption.

I\'m not sure what the limits were with her magic, but this battle against monsters could let me do so.

"Everyone!" Our peacock teacher raised her voice, gaining our attention.

"Now that everyone has formed a group, we will begin this battle."

"Note that this won\'t be fair. All of you will fight a random monster of varying levels." So, it depends on luck on which monsters we would fight. It didn\'t matter which third-rank monster would appear against me.

"To pass this test, you must make the monsters unable to fight." So, we didn\'t need to kill it to pass the test, not like that mattered.

"Would anyone like to go first?" Ms. Colorful asked if anyone wanted to volunteer. Everyone looked around, and no one wanted to go first.

"Princess Rebecca, would you like to go first? For someone like you, a test like this would be easy." Since no one had wanted to go first, our teacher had picked someone randomly to go.

It seemed like she had chosen us to go first. Before I could say a word to Rebecca, "Something like this isn\'t too hard. In fact, I would say it\'s easy."

Without any choice, it was decided that we would go. First, the other 36 students went out of the way and went far enough not to be in the crossfire of the fight.

Once they left, we were going to start our battle.
