Chapter 244: Chapter 244:Wonderland [4]
"...that's probably why I didn't see a volcano."
Then, again, I was on the desperate lookout for the Dragon's Eye... which ironically came to me through the secret tunnel, so all my searching was practically useless.
And then... because I wasn't able to access my system menu due to not meeting the bare threshold of stats required, I didn't even realize I had obtained it.
So, then, instead of calling it a day because I had obtained the dragon's eye, I continued searching the caves... leading me to a near-death experience.
Recalling my near-death experience with the Mountain Tyant, deep into the caves of the Hajin mountain range, I shuddered.
Yeah...I'll go back there... soon, just not now.
But... that little bastard tyrant should enjoy the time it has left.
Returning my attention to Professor Robinson, I sighed as he basically went over how the humans had conquered the Hajin Mountain range despite the demons already possessing it.
In the book, it was simply said that the humans were able to take control of the mountains due to the demons being weakened.
The demons were weakened as they had lost over a hundred of their soldiers while trying to forcefully recruit a dragon that lived deep within the Hajin mountain range.
This was, of course, unknown to everyone but Lily and me, as the existence of dragons is currently a secret from the public.
Very few people, including myself, Lily, most likely the Elven queen, and the seven heroes, know about their existence.
Everyone else just believes that dragons are fake and only in fairytales.
Curiously, I lifted my head and tried to see what filler this teacher would say to explain how the humans conquered.
"The mage of the heroes' party manipulated the lava inside the volcano, causing it to forcefully erupt."
"Now, this is traditionally and scientifically impossible considering that the lava inside the volcano is not made of mana, but actually volcano gas that is naturally occurring... but the mage of the heroes' party pulled it off somehow."
Pointing at the tip of the volcano, Professor Robinson continued.
"The demons believed the volcano to be dormant, so their entire army was thrown into chaos when lava and various molten rocks began spewing out of it."
"Using this as a distraction, the heroes took their armies and rushed in, defeating the demons, who were scattered all over the place."
Shaking my head, I glanced at Ruby, who was awkwardly standing behind the teacher with a confused expression.
To be fair, this could have actually happened, but a simple volcanic eruption definitely wouldn't be enough to weaken an army of straight demons.
The heroes had most likely fabricated the story instead of revealing the existence of the dragons to the public.
I would have done in their situation... but then again, I don't call myself a hero nor have I ever claimed to be one.
Finishing up his story, Professor Robinson finally turned around to face both Ruby and Liam.
Pointing at Ruby, Professor Robinson said.
"Ruby, you'll be the demonic army... and Liam, you can be the heroes alongside their army."
Confused, the two stared at Professor Robinson before asking in unison.
"And...how exactly are we supposed to do that?"
Smiling, Professor Robinson made sure that the three recruiters were watching before gesturing for the two students to come forward.
Also intrigued, I carefully examined the Professor's every movement, trying to discern what he would do next.
However... even with my one-of-a-kind eyesight and knowledge that surpasses everyone besides one person in this world, I couldn't have predicted or even come close to knowing what Professor Robinson did next.
As Ruby and Liam stood in front of Professor Robison, the teacher pulled his wand before aiming it at them.
Then, as a silver glint appeared at the tip of his wand, he said to Liam and Ruby.
"Remember your roles, please."
The next second, both Ruby and Liam shrunk to the size of miniature, not visible to anyone in the room besides me due to my enhanced eyesight.
Confused at their sudden disappearance, everyone besides me crowded towards the front of the classroom.
Lily even gestured for the main cast to get ready to fight, seeing her two friends suddenly disappear.
However, before Lily could even pull outer her wand, a sudden yell interrupted her.
"IS THIS THEM!?"
A student, catching a glimpse of something really small on the ground, excitedly exclaimed.
"THAT'S LIAM AND RUBY...ON THE FLOOR! I SWEAR IT IS!"
In unison, everyone squinted their eyes while scanning the floor where the boy had pointed.
Grinning, Professor Robinson swiftly nodded his head before picking up the two miniature-sized students with the palm of his hand.
Then, he very carefully placed Ruby atop the volcano and Liam down in the forest that was located at the base of the volcano.
Then, just as Ruby and Liam adjusted to their new size, Professor Robinson dumped some material that I couldn't recognize into the volcano.
Gesturing for us to come forward, Professor Robinal told the whole class.
"Come now! Let's watch this historically accurate enaction of the battle of the Hajin Mountain Range!"
Following the crowd of students, I made my way to the front, where the table holding the volcano sculpture was located.
Using my enhanced eyesight, I quickly located Ruby, who was staring down into the volcano as the lava began to bubble and rapidly rise.
Using my hand, I pressed down on the table, making sure that it was stable and wouldn't fall over from all the students pushing against each other.
Then, as I redirected my attention back to the sculpture, I saw small bits of makeshift lava fly out of the volcano and land to the right and left of Ruby.
Liam, seeing this, rushed out of the forest with a miniature sword that had been conveniently placed in the forest.
Running up the volcano, Liam avoided the flying rocks and lava spewing down the edge of it.
