My Dragon System

The students along with the professors made sure to stay near the middle of the village, just by the well. There were two important items that they needed to protect at all costs if they wanted any chance of getting home.

The super tier beast crystal that was powering the circle and also Kaito who was still busy drawing it. The professors had decided to stay close to the crystal with the other students protecting it at all cost.

While Bliss and her friends went to protect Kaito making sure to protect him. Students where blasting of energy blasts while the upper-class students were firing off their elemental attacks at the beast coming towards them.

They were in full concentration mode and this time not one person was slacking behind. Even Blake who could no longer use lightning powers continued to fire off huge amounts of energy blasts.

They all feared for their lives and perhaps some might have given up, but there was one thing powering them to continue the fight and that was knowing that the teleportation circle would soon be finished.

"Keep going it's not much longer now!" Springett shouted as she sliced a white monkey in half. In truth, she didn't know how much longer Kaito needed but she would continue to shout out words of encouragement as the group were barely holding on.

Noir who had come to help the students was busy facing off against the more powerful creatures, there was a total of three advanced tier creatures and although she was powerful enough to take on one of them in a one on one fight. Three would be difficult.

However, Noir knew this and decided to play it safe, using her great speed to her advantage she would run about slowly attacking the creatures with the smallest of blows, only when she knew she couldn't get hurt.

These types of attacks would usually do nothing against the advanced tier beasts as they were only small nicks but thanks to the advanced beast tier weapon, the metal claws. The poison would slowly start to were them down.

Out of everyone there though, the group that was struggling the most was the people protecting Kaito. It hadn't been long since Bliss had encountered the spiders and she had used most of her energy fighting against them earlier.

Norah seeing this had come over with her two guards who were upper-class students and started using their earth abilities to help the group out.

"Thank you," Bliss said.

But it wasn't enough, more and more creatures where falling form the rifts and they just didn't know when it was going to end.

"Is there any way we can close that rift?" Max asked, "It would stop the creatures from coming out of them."

"I think the only way is killing the Shadow guard member." Bliss replied, "How much longer on the circle?"

"Just a little longer, I'm almost there," Kaito replied.

Just then though from one of the rifts, a swarm of bat-like creatures had appeared and they were heading straight for them.

Bliss immediately turned to Van who was still standing there hesitant.

"Look Van, I don't know why you are hesitant to use your powers, but if you don't use them now were all going to die."

"Yeah, Van the situation can't get worse than it already is, everything here is already trying to kill us," Max added.

Max already knew why Van didn't use his powers. Whenever he did it would attract the beast's attention.

Van knew that was the case but there was something else he feared now that everyone was around him. He then lifted both hands out at the swarm of bats and started to concentrate and swirl them around.

The group of bats then started to explode on by one as Van performed his magic.

At the same time though, all the beasts that were fighting against Noir the ones that were going up against students turned and headed straight into his direction.

This was what Van feared, using his powers had just made him and his friends a target. Know that all the beasts were heading in their direction, there was only one thing he could do. He continued to use his powers while splitting from the group and running away from the village.

Meanwhile, Ray was busy confronting the old man. He had just opened up the large rift revealing his trump card but the beast was already dead.

"What could be strong enough to kill this beast?" the old man complained.

Ray then jumped up on top of the dead beast body and looked down at the old man. "If this is the best you have, then I have nothing to worry about." With his palm open he fired out another large fireball. However once again the old man opened a rift up, the fireball went into the rift and then was taken somewhere else.

"If I can't beat you from far away, then I'll just come towards you." Ray ran towards the old man but before he could even reach him. The old man opened up a rift of his own and stepped into it closing it behind him.

"Where did he go?"

Just then though, Ray could once again feel this attractive energy drawing him towards what was going on behind him. It was the same energy that had taken him to this area in the first place.

He didn't have time to chase the old man around, he needed to find out what was going on behind. As Ray reached the village, he noticed that the students were busy fighting some of the beasts but most of them were now running away from the village and into the forest. That's when Ray spotted Van.

"So it's him that's producing all that energy, I now understand why he didn't want to use his powers before."

Just then, Kaito lifted himself from the ground. "I did it, the magic circle is complete."

The students cheered and the group started to gather in the middle.

"Professor what are we waiting for, let's get out of here." A student said.

"Not yet, what about Van and Ray!" Max said.

The professor had to make a tough decision but right now it was the lives of several students against that of their saviour and Van.

"One minute, that's all I can give them!"

Ray seeing the look on the professor's face understood. They were going to leave without them, although Ray was able to use his teleport skill Van would not.

Putting two fingers into his mouth, Ray whistled loudly calling Noir to his side. He climbed onto her back and immediately went forward towards Van.

Her incredible speed was impressive and she managed to outrun all the other beasts and were now just behind Van, Ray then climbed down to pick up Van from the ground.

"Get on!" Ray said.

The two of them now on the back of Noir headed back to the village and straight for the magic circle.

"They're here, quickly Kaito, activate the magic circle," Bliss said.

Kaito then placed his hands on the ground and started to chant out a few words. The lights that had been used to draw the circle started to light up brighter than before.

Noir leapt up into the air and landed safely in the circle.

But just before the teleportation circle had fully been activated, another rift had opened up in front of them and the old man had stepped out.

"I'm coming with you."
