Soon Xu Anran saw the people who had arrived; it was Lucy and her several followers.
The students from other classes also split into two groups: one group went up to the top of the mountain to retrieve the flag, while the weaker group stayed behind.
Upon seeing the dead Medusa bird on the grass, Lucy said with a grave expression, "We need to speed things up."
Xu Anran watched their hurried departure from the tree, a smile appearing on her lips.
After walking for a while, Lucy and her friends saw five Midgards ahead and picked up their weapons to prepare for battle.
Xu Anran, who was secretly following behind, saw them fighting, so she quietly bypassed them and continued on her way.
Lucy, who was fighting behind them, happened to catch a glimpse of Xu Anran walking past them. She threw her weapon forward, which landed right in front of Xu Anran's feet. This action also caught the attention of the Mido bird.
Left with no other choice, Xu Anran had to join the fray.
Xu Anran got into a fight with a Midori bird that ran over. She had just finished dealing with it and was about to turn around and leave when Lucy ran over and blocked her way. At the same time, the Midori bird she was fighting with also came over.
Xu Anran sighed; there was no way to continue fighting.
But as time went on, the number of Mido birds here increased instead of decreased, and things became increasingly strange.
The others sensed it too. Xu Anran and Lucy exchanged a glance, and at that moment they both understood what the other was thinking: stop fighting and run away first, and talk about everything when they get back.
Xu Anran found an opening and darted into the woods, while Lucy shouted to her companions, "Run!"
The closer they got to the mountaintop, the more Mido birds there were, while the number of other monsters decreased. The students assumed this was a school arrangement.
However, the school was also surprised to see the Mido bird in the live broadcast, because it was not arranged by the school, but was an accident.
A flock of Medo birds was migrating and happened to land on this mountain.
The school is now asking teachers to go up the mountain to deal with the Mido birds as soon as possible, and to inform each class of the current situation and to avoid the Mido birds.
Xu Anran ran into the woods, weaving and twisting her way through the trees, and quickly shook off the Midoriya bird.
She looked at the notification on her bracelet and learned about the current situation, but she decided to keep going.
Afterwards, she carefully observed and paid attention to her surroundings, avoiding the Medusa several times. When she was almost at the top of the mountain, she found a flock of Medusa ahead. There was no path around her, and if she wanted to reach the top, she had to go through the area where the Medusa were.
Xu Anran hid behind a large rock. When she heard a noise behind her, she looked over warily and saw a person emerge from the bushes.
The person who came was Lucy. The two did not speak. Lucy walked to Xu Anran's side, looked at the Midori bird in front of her, and frowned.
She glanced at Xu Anran to the side, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Xu Anran shook her head: "What thoughts could I possibly have? We're just not getting through this now anyway."
Lucy said, "Um, how about we cooperate?"
Xu Anran looked at the Medusa in front of her, then at Lucy: "Just the two of us? There should be thirteen Medusas over there."
Xu Anran felt that it was unwise for the two of them to deal with so many Medusa without using their abilities.
Lucy didn't say anything; she knew it was too dangerous for just the two of them.
The two waited behind the rock, and Lucy said awkwardly in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be so good just now."
"Heh, you've come to realize there are quite a few things you didn't expect." Xu Anran looked at Lucy. "Why did you bully Lista?"
Lucy rolled her eyes: "I just can't stand her! So what?"
Then, seeing that Xu Anran didn't speak, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Hey, let's call it even for what happened before."
"Oh? Didn't you tell me to wait?" Xu Anran said with a half-smile.
Lucy looked at Xu Anran and said irritably, "That's how it is anyway."
The two were about to bicker when they heard another noise from behind. It was a boy with a buzz cut. Lucy recognized him: "Chu Xingchen, what brings you here?"
"The school told everyone not to move around, but I had a feeling someone would come to get the flag, so I wanted to get up the mountain as soon as possible." He looked at Lucy and Xu Anran, his expression saying, "Sure enough, someone thought the same thing as me."
He stuck his head out from the rock, looked at the Mido birds in front of him, and asked, "How long have these guys been here?"
Looking at her bracelet, Lucy replied, "It's been about an hour."
"How good are you? How many Medusas can you handle?" A voice came from behind as Chu Xingchen asked them questions.
The three of them looked over and saw a tall girl with short hair emerge from the bushes. She was startled when she saw the three of them staring at her and quickly covered her chest.
He muttered to himself, "You scared me!"
Chu Xingchen seemed to know her well and said, "You're here. I was wondering why you didn't come to grab the flag."
The short-haired girl rolled her eyes at Chu Xingchen, then looked at Lucy and introduced herself: "My name is Weiwei, and I'm from the Control Class."
Chu Xingchen also said, "Chu Xingchen, attack team."
Lucy said, "I'm Lucy, from the middle blocker team."
Xu Anran also said, "Amy, Class Infinite."
"An unlimited class?" Weiwei looked at Xu Anran in surprise.
Chu Xingchen frowned as well: "Can you handle the Midori bird?"
Xu Anran nodded, and Lucy, who was standing next to her, said, "She's quite skilled. We dealt with the Midori bird together when we encountered it before."
Chu Xingchen nodded: "Then let's divide it up. I can probably handle six. How about you guys?"
Lucy said, "I probably have four."
Vivi also said, "Four."
Xu Anran didn't speak, but simply held up two fingers to indicate that she could handle two.
In fact, she should be able to take care of about six without using her powers.
However, there's no need to say it out loud. She's from the Infinite Class, and those people don't know her own strength, so they might underestimate her. That's for the best.
After all, her ultimate goal was to reach the mountaintop and retrieve the flag, not to deal with these Mido birds.
After learning about everyone's situation, Chu Xingchen arranged, "In a moment, I'll rush over and take care of the ones on the left, Lucy and Vivi will take care of the ones on the right, and Amy, you'll follow behind and provide support."
Seeing the three nod, Chu Xingchen grabbed his weapon and said, "Let's go!"
He rushed forward, with Vivi and Lucy close behind, and Xu Anran following at a leisurely pace.
Seeing that the three people in front of her were handling the battle with the Midori with ease, she began to observe her surroundings, preparing to sneak up to the top of the mountain.
But just as everyone was almost finished fighting and Xu Anran was about to sneak away, ten more Madonna birds descended from the sky, catching them off guard.
The situation immediately reversed. Taking advantage of Chu Xingchen's busy fighting, a Medusa attacked him unprepared, its sharp claws reaching for his heart. He barely managed to dodge but was forced into a corner. They wanted to infect Chu Xingchen with their eyes, leaving him with no way to escape.
