Three days later, Kai stood on top of the building, watching many military trucks coming to the school.

Each truck could bring around thirty people, so with the current number of the truck, they could get around four thousand eight hundred people.

"So, what do you think about this number?" A female voice resounded in his ears as she walked closer to him.

"It's beyond my expectation. I believe this is the effect of my teacher giving her speech." Kai narrowed his eyes while glancing over the woman who came to him. "Sorry for making you stay here."

"No worries. I know that you asked the others to fly first because you are worried about all these students. I am here just so we can teleport there immediately as soon as the trucks have set off." Tasha smiled while looking at the students who slowly entered the trucks.

"Almost five thousand soldiers are here. One thousand more than I predicted…" Kai sighed.

"From my perspective, the first and second year students are eager to participate. Since the third year will only have graduation after this, the two grades will have the opportunity to show their might when the program that your teacher made begins."

"To be fair, I thought that too. They can simply say that they have done this and that, especially regarding this mission. Since I am the exception and accumulate more achievement, if they fight under me for just one occasion, the evaluation will surely calculate it too." Kai nodded with a serious expression.

"You don't like where this is going on?" Tasha asked.

"Not really. I have stated that their lives are their own priorities. The problem will be how I control them to make sure they don't flee when they see so many magical beasts." Kai sighed.

"Do you know about our terrain?"

"Yes. I have forwarded it to those who I deem qualify to enter the meeting."

"I see. What is the chance of us losing?"

"With all of you here?" Kai asked.

"Yes."

"Thirty percent. I have never fought in a defensive battle like this, so my confidence is not that great, especially since there is no one higher than Brad Matthew."

"Fair enough. It must be a headache." She smirked.

Kai shrugged and saw the last student entering the truck. After waiting for another minute, they began their journey to the Yukon Territory.

"They have gone, are we going now?" She asked.

"Wait until I can't see them anymore." Kai smiled. "Still, to think the teachers are participating in this too…"

"Haha. That's normal if I think about this. Firstly, they won't have enough students to teach, so they might as well participate. They can protect the students that way."

"Yes. They have many capable people after all." Kai nodded, remembering Yuki and Sanae. There were some of their peers in the school, so they knew that the teachers were capable.

"Let's go then." Kai smiled after watching the last truck disappear from his vision.

Tasha snapped her finger and teleported them to the military base.

As soon as he appeared in the military base, many people noticed his presence, especially since he would be leading almost forty thousand people.

They were curious to see the student that had this kind of responsibility.

Kai smiled and nodded his head to them while making his way toward Brad's office. Tasha decided to go a separate way, searching for their usual group.

Suddenly, Yuki sneaked behind him and hugged him from behind like that of a friend. "Yahoo, it's been a while, Kai. This is the second time we fight together after the raid mission of the Underground Nest."

"Teacher Yuki, it's been a while." Kai nodded.

"You just arrived?"

"Yes."

"Then, you are on your way visiting that gorilla?"

"Yes."

"Let me accompany you then." Yuki smiled playfully.

"By the way, can I know what the status is?"

"The advanced teams that you sent earlier have gathered here, so you don't need to worry about them. As for the situation of the volcano, even I don't have that information."

"I see." Kai nodded as the two headed straight to Brad's office.

Before coming in, he wanted to confirm the matter again with her. "Are you sure it's alright for you to visit him?"

"It's fine, it's fine." Yuki pushed open the door while shouting, "Yo, gorilla!"

"Who is a gorilla? You damn woman." Brad snorted, but his voice didn't really have a trace of anger, so Kai thought they might know each other.

"I am visiting you; it's you being honored." Yuki pouted. "Even General Nathan reprimanded you all the time."

"Hmm? Why does Sir Nathan get involved here?" Kai frowned.

Brad then noticed Kai and raised his head, stopping his work.

"You don't know? Brad Matthew studied under Sir Nathan, you know. He was so messed up and got reprimanded all the time."

"I did not!"

"Yeah, you were. Don't lie. Or should I just tell all the things that happened when you were his subordinate?"

"…" Brad clenched his teeth and glared at her. "What do you want here?"

"I am just here to accompany him and learn insider information from you."

"Go back. This is not the place you ought to be."

Yuki only stuck her tongue out and grabbed the nearest chair, sitting as if telling him that she had no intention of leaving. Even Brad gave up at that point.

Kai became even more convinced that these two were comrades before.

Brad then turned to Kai, looking at that one star on his shoulder. He secretly clenched his fist and said, "Take a seat."

Kai nodded and sat beside Yuki.

"You can't be honest, aren't you?"

"Enough. I am going to throw you out if you talk again!" Brad slammed the table.

Yuki shrugged and stopped talking.

"According to the order, you have the army for yourself. Since she is with you, you can use her as your officer. I won't send you any officer, so they can take care of your ass."

"Are you sure? This means you are going to separate Kai from the rest of the armies, no? This is the most foolish question that I have heard today."

"You don't know a thing!"

Kai narrowed his eyes and asked, "May I know my position in this battle?"

Brad showed the picture of five armies standing side by side. The furthest left had one on it, while on the opposite side had five written on it. Brad pointed at the second army.

"Hmm…" Kai was surprised. He thought he would get either the first or the fifth army, but it seemed Brad was gentler than he expected.

"This is why I said you should be honest. Your tsundere character doesn't suit you!" Yuki also noticed the reason why Brad gave that position to Kai.

It had strategic hills. Next to him would be the main army which Brad himself would personally lead. At the same time, the first army would surely have either his left or right hand man. This already showed enough concern for Kai.

No wonder Yuki said he was a tsundere despite his face and build.

"Well, this will be a good one. In any case, I have considered all kinds of terrain here, so I should be fine." Kai nodded. "What's the status of the volcano?"

"According to the headquarters, it will erupt in two days with one-day correction."

Kai looked down while falling into deep thought. The technology had progressed, especially with the volcanic eruption. After all, every time it happened, it would influence millions of magical beasts. Since they only needed to deal with one direction, they only needed to face one million or so magical beasts instead of the full force, so it was quite relieving.

"Will there be a chance that a protector is involved?"

"No. On the battlefield next to us, an S Rank Magician is standing by. They should meet her first before reaching our position." Brad shook his head.

"In that case, it should be enough, especially with forty thousand people…" Kai nodded.

"…" Brad was scratching the back of his head, frustrated with the additional people he brought with him. He never expected that he would bring that many students, but he couldn't also dismiss since he already agreed to the term.

"In that case, I don't think we need to worry about reinforcement, right?"

"Yes. As long as we stand our ground, it should be fine. Well, there might be someone that messes up though." Brad narrowed his eyes, looking at Kai.

Noticing his gaze and meaning, he talked back. "And I am currently looking at that person…"

Brad got challenged as they glared at each other for a while.

"Gahaha. Gorilla, you have lost, you know." Yuki laughed. "Even Sir Nathan said he couldn't handle this kid, so you might be the one who slips up."

"That's true. I am not trying to look down on you, but this position… You will be the one facing more enemies, you know." Kai narrowed his eyes.

Brad only looked away. "I am the one responsible in this base. This is my decision and responsibility. There is no way a student like you who gets a golden spoon from his teacher understands this."

"…" Kai twitched his eyebrows. Instead of talking back, he decided to ask another question this time. "How about our resources?"

"We have enough bombs and air support for one hundred to two hundred thousand beasts. How many can you kill using them will depend on you. For now, the explosives have been given to your army, and each army here will have one air support."

"I understand. This is going to be an interesting fight." Kai nodded. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

"None. Go to your army and prepare yourself. I can't have you wet your pants in this battle after all." Brad Matthew snorted.

Kai shrugged and rose from his seat.
