"It's getting closer," someone whispered, their voice tinged with fear. "What are we going to do?"
Amidst the tension, the students began to analyze and deduce the nature of the blue-skinned monster before them, sharing their observations and theories in hushed tones.
"It's definitely not like any creature I've ever seen," one student remarked, their brow furrowed in concentration. "The blue skin, the lightning-covered mace... it's like something out of a nightmare."
Others nodded in agreement, their minds racing as they tried to piece together the puzzle before them. "Maybe it's some kind of ancient beast," another student suggested, their voice barely above a whisper. "Or perhaps a guardian of this forest?"
Erina, their teacher, stepped forward, her expression grave as she confirmed their worst fears. "It's an orc," she declared, her voice firm but tinged with apprehension. "And not just any orc. It's at the peak of the extraordinary realm."
Gasps of disbelief rippled through the group as they processed Erina's words, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on their shoulders. "We can't fight it," she continued, her tone urgent. "Not without risking our lives. We need to focus on escaping."
The students exchanged worried glances, the reality of their predicament sinking in as they realized the magnitude of the threat before them. "But what about Markus?" someone asked, their voice trembling with uncertainty.
Erina's gaze softened with sympathy as she placed a comforting hand on their shoulder. "We'll honor Markus's memory by staying alive," she assured them, her voice steady despite the fear that gnawed at her insides. "We'll find a way to defeat the orc, but for now, our priority is survival. The least I cam do is to buy time while you guys prepare to escape!"
...
You're absolutely correct. Referring to Erina simply as "Erina" in such a serious and dire situation would indeed be disrespectful, especially given her position as their teacher and her willingness to sacrifice herself for their safety. Here's a revised version that maintains the appropriate level of respect:
As the tension mounted and the orc drew closer, the students exchanged worried glances, their hearts heavy with the weight of their predicament. They knew that their teacher, Teacher Erina, had bravely offered to buy them time to escape, but the odds were stacked against her in her battle against the formidable creature.
"I don't like this," one student muttered, their voice barely above a whisper. "Teacher Erina doesn't stand a chance against that thing."
The sentiment was echoed by others, their faces pale with fear as they watched Teacher Erina prepare to face the orc head-on. "She's just a beginner in the extraordinary realm," another student remarked, their voice trembling with anxiety. "And that monster has likely been at the peak stage for years. The gap between them is too big."
Caleb, however, remained resolute, his expression determined as he turned to his classmates. "We have to trust Teacher Erina to hold her own," he insisted, his voice unwavering despite the gravity of their situation. "But we also need to focus on our own escape."
'Should I reveal my strenght now? Well, let's just Voli act for now... Lest my strength scarss them.'
His words offered little comfort to his classmates, who exchanged worried glances as they contemplated their next move. However, Caleb's unwavering confidence in their teacher gave them a glimmer of hope in the face of overwhelming odds.
Meanwhile, Voli, perched on Caleb's shoulder, observed the unfolding scene with keen interest, his instincts telling him that his master's classmates were underestimating his capabilities. With a snort of derision, he silently vowed to prove them wrong and protect them from harm.
As the tension reached its peak and Teacher Erina prepared to confront the orc, Caleb turned to Mei and Fatty with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry," he assured them, his voice calm despite the chaos unfolding around them. "Voli can handle that monster."
His words were met with skeptical looks from his classmates, who took them as a feeble attempt to lighten the mood in the face of impending danger. However, Caleb's confidence in his pet bear remained unshaken, and he silently smirked that Voli would prove himself worthy of their trust in the moments to come.
...
As the battle between Teacher Erina and the formidable orc unfolded before their eyes, the students watched in awe and trepidation. With each expertly executed strike of her bear-switching weapons—sword, spear, dagger, and hammer—Erina unleashed a barrage of purple fire, crackling lightning, and razor-sharp pressure upon her adversary.
The orc, now bearing deep gashes and bloody cuts on its forehead, limped noticeably from its left arm, its once imposing demeanor visibly weakened. However, just as victory seemed within reach, the orc delivered a powerful blow that sent Erina flying, her body colliding with a nearby tree before slumping to the ground, unconscious.
As the dust settled and the students took in the aftermath of the intense battle, their admiration for Teacher Erina's skill was evident in their murmurs of awe and respect.
"I can't believe she can wield those weapons with such precision," one student marveled, their eyes wide with wonder. "And the way she imbued them with elemental powers... She's on a whole other level."
The mention of the purple lightning and fire that had engulfed Erina's weapons elicited gasps of fear and disbelief from the students. "I've never seen anything like it," another student whispered, their voice trembling with apprehension. "Those flames could incinerate a polar bear in an instant."
However, as the reality of their situation set in, fear and desperation began to grip the students' hearts. "We're done for," one student cried out, their voice tinged with panic. "We can't outrun that orc, and we're trapped here! Even teacher Erina didn't stood a chance!"
"Why did we stay? Why didn't we flee when we had the chance?" another lamented, their voice choked with regret. "We're going to die here!"
In the face of overwhelming despair, Caleb's voice rang out "No," "Let my pet bear take care of this."
