As soon as the annoying flea escaped back to the city, Angela who was at the front approached Kayla since she thought that Sophie alone is enough for now to take care of the small fries.

"He's still bothering you? What an annoying guy he is. And did he just come here and left before he even do anything? He didn't even beat a single monster?"

"The idiot must have thinking that it's better to be here than not at all like Roy. He wanted to one upped Roy, but I believe Roy don't even remember this guy even though they are in the same class." Kayla calmly replied.

"That's stupid. After all no one can have better achievement than Roy in this stampede. He's the one who makes it possible that we can defend the city on time after all."

Both Angela and Kayla thought that even if Roy didn't tell the king about the stampede, they believed that he will find another way. Even if he says that he doesn't really care about the city, the girls are thinking that it must be a lie.

"Yeah. And even though he always act like it's fine to run away, he always cares about this stampede. After all this is the event that changed him the most. Well, we should do our parts as well. The next wave is coming. We will get busier and busier from now." Kayla said.

"Kayla! She needed some healing!"

Shirley suddenly come with her flight magic while carrying a seriously injured girl. She got injured because her party members saw hopelessness against the stampede and used her as a bait to escape. And Shirley who saw that helped the girl but the girl is already seriously injured by the time she come.

"I'll return to the frontline now. You take care of her."

Angela leaves Kayla and returned to the battlefield. Seeing someone seriously injured, and the cause is her own party, Angela needed to do something to relieve her anger. She very much wanted to kill the one who used someone else as a bait, but now is not the time.

There are also more and more people retreating back to the city. And no one bothers to stop them. All those who stayed thought that those people should escape before they became a burden to the others. Although some of them still insist staying to fight, they were told to not get in the way.

And as long as there are no one like the new patient that Shirley brought, with someone leave her behind as a sacrifice for their escape, no one really bother to what the other is doing. As for those who sacrifices their own allies, their faces are being remembered by those who stays and witnessed their action. It will be difficult for them to stay as hunters in this city.

Kayla equip a wand and healed the injured girl. Kayla has two wands now. Both are from Roy. One is the one he got from a dungeon under a waterfall, and the other is the one he got during his first time diving and treasure hunting. The one she used is the one that Roy got after diving under the sea. The one that improve healing magic slightly.

Unlike the one from dungeon, this wand is man-made and has limited use. And Kayla didn't hesitate at all to use this wand one time after she saw the girl's condition.

Soon the girl is awake.

"Uuh… Thank you for saving my life."

"You should thank Shirley as well. If she didn't notice you, you would have died already." Kayla said calmly.

"Since you're fine now, I'll leave. There are many things I need to do." Shirley said her farewell and return back to support other hunters.

"You're healed now, but you lose a lot of blood so I suggest you to retreat. But not right away. If you leave now, you might encounter the one who almost killed you. Just leave after a few minutes." Kayla said to the girl.

"Ah! That's right! Those people used me as a bait! I thought we were friends! Thank you, Kayla. You saved my life."

"No worries. Just rest for a while." Kayla said as she continued looking for another injured person.

The girl looked at Kayla for a while and realized she never introduced herself even though they attend the same school.

"Kayla, I'm Bailey. We attend the same school but we never talked before. I know you because you're popular. I never thought you're so kind to save my life." Bailey said.

"Just doing what I can."

"Hey, Kayla. Why don't we team up after this stampede is over? You can just leave that Roy behind and maybe asked Angela to join. You don't need someone like him. He's so weak but somehow he's the only man closest to you two. It's a mystery how that happen." Bailey tried to recruit Kayla into her new party after leaving her previous one.

"Not interested." Kayla replied without any hesitation.

"The more you interact with him, the more enemies he will have. Don't you know how popular you and Angela are?"

"There's no point in using threats. He doesn't care how many people he will make enemies of. Especially at school. Everyone is too weak for him. And enough with this nonsense. You should have regain your strength now. Retreat into the city already."

"Hah! Defending someone who doesn't dare to fight here? I wonder what excuse he said to the guild master before." Bailey then retreated back to the city.

Bailey was also there during the time Roy stopped the guild master's speech. She saw how Roy acted friendly to the guild master and thought that Roy must be using some kind of connection to not participate in this fight without having his license revoked.

"Sigh… somehow everyone hates Roy. I'd like to see their faces once they realized that he's the only reason this city survives. But I think he will keep it secret. And no one will knows his greatness…" Kayla thought to herself.

While thinking so, a wolf somehow breakthrough the defense and charged at her. Kayla didn't even spare a look at it as she casted an Earth Spike to grow from the ground and pierced its body.

And battle also happened everywhere. Sophie has also casted area of effect lightning magic to a crowd of monsters. The power is not strong enough to kill even one of them, but it was good to slow them down and let other hunters kill them. Sophie is still saving her magic.

Kayla also busy fighting ogres while protecting other hunters. She concentrated her magic to make a small, but heavy and fast Ice Spike and aimed if at the ogre's heart. The ogre died instantly, and Angela already prepared to cast her second magic to defeat the next ones. Making other hunters stunned to see her abilities even though some of them are the more experienced one.

Some high-ranked hunters and parties already wanted to recruit both Angela and Sophie into their teams. Some of them already asked but of course neither of them wanted to join. Both of them are still happy and enjoy being in Roy's party with the others.

And unknowingly, they give Roy another groups of people who hated him. Most of the hunters thought that Roy is just lucky that he's able to be in a party with powerful girls. No one knows that the girls are powerful because of his guidance. And it's impossible to think so especially after seeing the number eight on his practical exam.

Shirley is extremely busy as well. Thanks to her advanced level on wind element, she can fly. And using her flight magic, she covered the whole battlefield and supporting those who are in dangers. She also carried injured people to any healer she could find.

Although she planned to save her magic strength for the battle, she just can't stay in the safe place while the others are risking their lives. So she no longer reserving her magic for the next fight, and just spent it to safe as many people as possible. As a royalty, she believes that she has to protect the people.

In another place, Kron is defeating any monsters he could find.

"You! You dare aiming for my hair?! The hair roots are already gone and you friggin' monster are still aiming for my hair? How dare you asshole do that! I'm gonna kill you!"

"They are aiming for your head! They want to kill you and not aiming to make you bald!"

Kron ignored the people next to him that he managed to save in time and attacked all the monsters nearby.

"Die, you bastards! I'm gonna kill every single living being targeting the rest of my hair!"

"Like I said, they are aiming at your head! Not hair!"

Again, Kron ignored the people around him. He looked at the surrounding and see more and more monsters are being defeated. He thought that it should be finished soon, but he was wrong.

He looked at the sky and see a group of wyvern flying above the clouds toward the city. And that's not all.

"Shit! Those wyverns carried monsters on their back! You guys protect this line! I'll report this to the ones behind!"

Kron can see the wyverns have several monsters on their backs. Just one wyvern can make chaos inside a city, but a wyvern carrying monsters? Not just this is the first time Kron sees it, this is also the first in history.

Kron hurriedly used his flight magic and fly back to the city. He didn't forget to tap the earring he got from Roy to call Sonia and told her to report this to everyone.

Now the monsters invasion is truly unavoidable with an attack from above.
