Reincarnation Of A Living God 246 The Field Trip 3

"And that's that"

Mars waved his hand and a flame spread over the forest floor greedily 'eating' all the corpses, gore and blood splatter turning them into ashes in mere seconds, then Mars gave a nod and dissolved the vermilion armor he was wearing before he walked back to the other teachers that stood and watched him in stunned silence, as Mars walked past them he spoke in a light tone as if he had just finished a light stroll

"Call me if there's any other trouble"

Mars walked back to the group of students and found the single pest that managed to slip past but fortunately was dealt with by his magic formation and gave a nod before he waved his hand and turned the corpse into ashes. Then he turned to Henrick and gave a nod before he praised

"Excellent work Henrick"

"I-I really didn't do anything..."

Mars gave a wry smile and patted him on the shoulder before he walked over to the middle of the group and picked up the roll of cloth and began covering the blade of his broadsword again while he sat on the gra.s.s. As time pa.s.sed more and more groups of students arrived and soon it was time for the academy field trip to begin for real as the group of students entered the forest in groups of 60 (two of the previous groups mixed together) students and two teachers entered the forest, each group were headed to different parts of the forest to set up camp and camp, hunt and generally survive for a week before they would head back to the academy, Mars' group had been mixed with another group of students under Rick which Mars knew best among the teachers, he had even been out drinking a few times with him so he was happy to see a familiar face

"Mars!"

Of course there were also 78 in the other group along with Gorge and his friends so Mars felt quite lucky with how the group turned out, if only 78 would stop clinging to him that is...

"Yes, yes 78 that's about enough..."

78 ignored him and rubbed her cheek against his shoulder while she had a vice like grip on his arm, Mars could only give a sigh and try to endure the oh so cold gazes they were receiving from the students, Mars could only give a wry smile and ignore them while he (gently) tried to pull 78 off him

In another place in the forest a group of about 200 bandits had made a rather big encampment, currently a small bald man was running through the camp past all the tents as he made his way to the big tent in the middle of the encampment, stopping briefly in front of the tent the man took a few deep breaths before he stepped into the tent and called out

"Boss, it's bad news!"

Inside the tent sat a female demon and peeled an apple with a dagger, she had obsidian skin and two pale horns, she didn't look up from the apple which she was peeling as she answered

"What kind of bad news?"

The small bald man was about to open his mouth but looked like he remembered something and quickly took a few steps backwards as he spoke

"We've lost about 50 men boss, it was the vice leader that took a group of men to attack the students from the academy but..."

The sounds of peeling stopped but the boss still didn't look up from the apple as she spoke

"But what?"

"There was a man there, a teacher who used... The same skill as you boss"

The sound of something being grabbed sounded out as the peeled apple fell to the ground and the boss appeared holding the small bald man by the neck as she lifted him up as she calmly asked him face to face

"He used this skill? [Instant movement]?"

"Not... Only... That..."

The boss let go of the small bald man and walked back and picked up the apple from the carpet and dusted it off before she asked

"What other skill did he use?"

"That's... He used condensed blood l.u.s.t to make armor..."

A light lit up in the eyes of the boss as she spoke in a low voice

"Gather the men, we have a new recruit to go get"

"Yes boss!"

Soon the small bald man returned along with two women and a beastman, they all bowed down to the boss that wore a bloodthirsty smile

"Let's go get our new recruit!"

"""Yes boss!"""

The fire was dancing it's dance, slowly moving from side to side as it swayed in the light wind, Mars as always sat and absorbed energy from the fire as he thought about stuff and things

"Mars..."

"Hmm?"

Mars turned and saw Kelvin, the demon youth was standing a little away from the fire, Mars gave a smile and asked

"What's up Kelvin? should you not be asleep by now?"

Kelvin gave a sigh and walked over before he took a seat next to Mars and likewise held his hands out to the fire before he slowly spoke

"... Well I can't sleep, 78 is snoring in the tent next to mine"

"... I see, well sorry about that"

The two of them fell silent until a few minutes later when Kelvin asked

"Hey Mars, how come that 78 is so... Immature?"

"Well..."

Mars of course knew about it, it was because she spent 200 years in a tank but he was not going to tell Kelvin that so he shook his head and spoke

"78 is an orphan, so she just likes to act spoiled when I am around"

"... I see"

Suddenly Mars' ears twitched as he picked up something in the distance and gave a slight smile before he stood up and spoke

"Kelvin go back to your tent, there's something I need to take care off"

Kelvin looked up at Mars and saw his serious expression

"Okay"

Mars gave a nod

"Besides you have to be well rested for tomorrow's training"

"... We're still doing that? I thought we would take a break during the field trip..."

"Yeah well you thought wrong, now off to bed you go"

Mars walked off towards his tent where Rick was snoring away without a care in the world and picked up a broadsword, the one made of bone before he silently flew off into the forest and soon found the things he had heard from the campfire

'Goblins... Well they have to die now that they're this close to the camp...'

Mars swung the bone broadsword a few times sending bright sword lights into the night before he summoned a small flame which burned the corpses to ashes, then he went back to camp and sat himself in front of the fire in the middle of the camp again... As the morning sun gradually awoke Mars stood up and stretched before he walked back to his and Rick's tent and woke up Rick

"Morning Mars"

"Good morning, now if you don't mind I need to get some shuteye"

"Of course, don't worry I'll take care of the students while you sleep"

"Good... Well I leave them to you for a couple hours"

Mars sat down on his sleeping bag and was about to begin meditating when he felt a wave of dizziness

'Guess 25 days without sleep is still the limit huh...'

Mars had been meditating as much as possible the last month and thus he had not had a proper rest for about 25 days, seeing as this was the limit he opened his eyes again before he opened up his sleeping bag and laid himself into it and slowly closed his eye as he regulated his breathing and soon fell asleep...

Outside the tent Rick stretched before he lightly slapped his cheeks and gave a nod

"Okay, let's get this show on the road"

Rick then walked up to a nearby tent and opened it up before he loudly called out

"Good morning! Get out of bed!"

His morning greeting was met with general sounds of displeasure from the four students inside the tent, Rick gave a grin and spoke out

"Sure you can sleep a little longer but next time I come around I'll pour water on your faces, now get up!"

The four students gradually sat up and looked somewhat awake, Rick gave a nod and moved on to the next tent where he repeated the process of waking up the students until he had been all the way around the camp, then he gathered the students and began preparing some breakfast with them
