Battle tactics

"Plan B!"0

Spike shouted.

After hearing it, "So it comes to this, huh… heh," said one of Spike's men as he also took a similar object from within the cloth, wrapping his body.

The other one also said with a grin, "Let's blast this whole place then!" In his hand was a similar object.

Now the three of them were both holding the same object, which based on their outer shell, there was no doubt that those objects were explosive bombs.

Principal Mar could not fathom what Spike was doing. Wasn't he supposedly trying to negotiate? Why did he suddenly become so violent towards them?

Based on Spike's action a while ago, It seemed like Killing him and the others would only lead to the failure of their mission.

"Wait! Maybe we can still talk calmer. Everyone, please let's talk it out," Principal Mar said.

The Principal thought that it might be possible to have a good conversation. They may even be able to negotiate to avoid a tragic end.

If the bombs they were holding explode, there would definitely be casualties. There was also a high chance that the building would collapse and could cause the death of everyone. That was the worst that could happen.

So, he wanted to avoid it if possible.

"That's useless, Principal Mar. These criminals never had a good intention from the beginning. 

"What do you mean Miss Ace?"

"They'll still kill the people here after they get what they want, Principal Mar."

"Goki was right," Ice followed up.

"Wha!" The principal exclaimed upon hearing it.

"Heh~ so you know," said Spike with a sneer.

Principal Mar and the others turned pale after hearing it.

Spike was still puzzled about how these youngsters were able to figure out their plan. His group even used diverse tactics to hide their real motive and mislead the enemy's attention. Yet, these youngsters were still able to arrive here.

It was unbelievable.

Maybe those in the military could figure it out but not those inside the siege zone. They even made sure to cut the network signal to disable any communications from the outside.

'Tsk! If only Mongrel's group didn't fail, seizing this place would be so easy,' Spike thought in dismay. Perhaps their mission would have been over in these moments.

The only good thing about the current situation was that the enemies in front of him were just inexperienced youngsters. Although they were a little stronger, it was still not to the point to intimidate him.

He was born on the battlefield. And he already experienced a similar situation in the past. His situation at that time was even more difficult than this. Yet Spike still managed to come out victorious in those times. Like those times, he believed he could still come out victorious this time too.

His title Spike The Notorious was not for no reason. It was his achievement for winning many battles.

Ice stared at them with cold eyes. "You won't succeed. Just give up!" She warned. The weight of her words could bring pressure on her enemies. But it seemed it didn't affect Spike and his two comrades. There were even grins on their faces. Undoubtedly they were looking down on her.

"Heh!" Spike snorted. "Let's see, sweet girl," Spike winked in the direction of Ice, but it was uncertain if he did that for her.

Without hesitation, Spike threw the bomb in his hand to the floor in front of Ice.

In the face of danger, especially a devastating bomb, it was natural to get flustered. The defender could only do a move at this moment. The only thing the opponents could do was prioritize their safety. To do that, they have to defend. It was always like that, especially to ignorant youngsters who had never experienced a real life-and-death battle in the past.

Regardless, Spike would use that opportunity to attack.

Spike did not hesitate to throw the bomb he was holding. His two companions did the same. One of them threw his bomb at Yman's group, and the other one threw his bomb in the direction of Goki, Almina, and Maena. They could not run away because standing behind them were the VIPs. They needed to protect them.

Principal Mar and the other VIPs looked so scared at the moment. Even the likes of Adam Praeter and Sunday were showing a frightened expression. Everyone widened their eyes at that moment.

"Everyone! Behind me! Sisters, please secure the VIPs' safety!" Ice yelled.

"Okay!"

Everyone answered at the same time. Almina and Maena leaped and arrived in front of the VIPs. And in front of them, Ice and Goki were standing.

Before the bombs could explode, a thick Ice Wall appeared in front of Ice and Goki. It materialized in an instant. The Ice Wall was about three meters tall. It was thick enough to withstand the force of the explosion.

Instructor Goki who witnessed it up close couldn't help but admire Ice's mastery in skill casting. Even someone like him could not execute such a skill to the same degree as her. She even froze the floor where they thought the bombs would land.

'No wonder she's the academy's ace,' Goki thought.

However, that wasn't what mattered at the moment. Goki also needed to defend himself. His body was then enveloped by a magical aura. It was a technique to temporarily raise his toughness. 

He did not know if his body would be able to withstand the strong forces of the explosion. But it was also better to die this way than to live in shame. He would rather die as a hero than run away and save himself.

Other than that, he won't let the young Miss get hurt.

At that moment, they were able to do things that ordinary people could not do in a small amount of time. The bomb Spike threw immediately hit the Ice' Ice Wall. But, instead of hearing a loud explosion, they heard a strange sound. The sound they heard was like the sound of a rushing mighty wind.

This was not the loud explosion they had expected. Ice immediately felt a bad premonition. "Tsk! He got us!" From the other side of the Ice Wall Ice heard the opponent's cynical giggle.

"Hehe! No matter how strong you are, if your ignorance prevails your strength still doesn't matter."

"Watch out! Defend the VIPs!" Ice shouted. 

Goki, Almina, and Maena immediately focused their attention around them. In just half a second, thick smoke enveloped the entire room. If before it was covered with cold mist, now it is covered with thick smoke, completely hindering their visions.

Spike grinned widely. 'See? These youngsters were just ignorant fools,' he thought.

Spike and his companions aim to capture some of the VIPs to take them hostage.

If looking from outside, smoke could be seen coming out of the open windows and the big hole caused when they rushed to the place. It would not be noticed by those insides because only those outside could see it.

Spike could not retreat as failure because he knows he could still turn the situation to his favor.

"Faster!" Spike signaled his men.

They immediately rushed towards the VIPs to catch a possible hostage. They didn't care about the thickness of the smoke because they have already prepared for this scenario in case they come to this point. Each one of them was wearing a gas mask.

After a few leaps, they saw a shadow in front of them. Their grins grew wider at that moment. Without wasting time, one of Spike's men reached out to grab his prey. 

"Gotcha!" He yelled. He managed to grab the person, however, he noticed something that suddenly widened his eyes.
