Volume 14 Chapter 34: 

Krystal took a deep sigh as she looked up at the sky. How did it come to this? It had been a couple of days since they were in the forest. Things got strange; that was due to the number of students here. How did it increase so much? 

This all started a few days ago. 

The tunnelers continued to chase after them, and it seemed they were not the only ones: a few other students were being chased by them. That was how their party increased in size. However, the thing that irritated Krystal was, 

“Princess Krystal, please tell us what we should do!”

"How should we deal with the tunnelers?" 

"Should we wait it out?"

"We'll follow your lead on this!" 

All their eyes stared at Krystal with hope. This was precisely why she was anxious; she had never fought in such a team with her as the lead! Just the thought caused her breathing to be inconsistent. I need to calm down. She couldn't allow herself to be affected. 

Actually, there was this one time with their first dungeon exploration. However, that was her powering through everything while the others watched. 

There was only one choice they had.

“Right now, we need to deal with that tunneler. We're going to have to attack them." That was the only choice, "We can't keep running away from them, and if we're able to take their magic stones, we'll be up." This had to be done; they're on the very last day and need to do something to increase their stones with so many people here. 

“We’re going to have to fight the monster with a tandem attack.” Krystal understood that there was going to be an issue with all of this. But that was going to be the first time she was going to do it. That was when they all nodded,

“Alright!” 

“We will follow through with your plan!” 

“There’s nothing to worry about with Krystal here!”

"..." Now that they broke, Krystal's palms were slightly wet from sweat. 

"Relax a bit more." Jack came over to her, 

"Do you really think I'm able to?" There was no way she could in this situation. 

“Don’t compare yourself to him. I think you have your own way of leading things.” 

“I know.” Krystal took a deep breath. She understood that Keith and her were fundamentally different from one another. She had a more loner and singular focus compared to Keith, who could do either. 

However, that also didn’t stop her from worrying.

“Couldn’t you take charge?” 

“No way. I don't have what it takes.”

“And you think I do?” Krystal was the same as Jack. She was not the commanding and leadership role type on the battlefield. 

“Well, you’re going to have to be since you’re going to be the next head of the household!” 

“You just want to skip out on all of this trouble!” This bastard was really infected by Keith! When did he have the guts to talk back like this? And there was something she was definitely going to fight him too. It was not something he was going to talk about. But when he thought about it, there was something off with it all. 

“Just do whatever we can. And besides, I doubt no one will going to question it.” Jack could tell; these guys all had complete faith in Krystal. That's why there was no need to fret about whether or not they were going to lose. They were going to win either way. 

“...Alright.” Krystal sighed as she shouted, “Prepare yourself for battle!” 

Krystal really didn't know how to make of this, but either way, this was going to get annoying. But as she thought about it, an idea occurred to her.

“Everyone, hear me out!” 

The tunnelers who had been knowing at every tree then they had noticed the monsters who were coming near them. It was quite something, but that was when they noticed a bunch of horses before him. And that was more than enough as they started to tunnel their way over to them. But when they did so, the horses started to flee. It was the game of catch again as they continued to reign down on them. But as they continued to do this, they were suddenly stopped. 

“Now!” The group started to fly down from the sky. Krystal and a few others had stabbed at the monsters there. It was going to be quite something. They used some interesting materials from the ground.
