Arty was the first to duck down faster than the others. They were still trying to absorb what was Arty's screams all about and the shadow that suddenly loomed at their window so they weren't prepared for what happened next.
A large beak pierced through the window and immediately barged into the classroom. Several students who didn't have time to duck became victims of the beak and were impaled instantly.
"AAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Heartbreaking screams rang out in the classroom amidst the blood and mutilated body parts.
The giant bird not only comes in and kills with its beak, but also inserts its sharp wings to kill the students.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Arty swore several times with a terrific expression. She was the only one who could think - relevantly - calm now.
'I haven't trained to use Magic to attack or defend!'
The practice she did with the two Elves who came from another world only made her body accustomed to Magic. They still haven't taught her how to use Magic to defend herself!
And now, Arty really needs it.
The giant bird's bloodshot eyes moved everywhere to find prey.
Arty just realized that the claws that the bird used to attack were not the claws of its feet, but the claws on the tips of its wings.
The claw moved again and stabbed a student who was about to come out then pulled him inside again. After that, the bird put the poor student in its beak.
Arty, who realized that the giant bird's attention was focused on chewing, tried to get up and run towards the door. Driven by her fear and desire to live, Arty ran as hard as she could.
She didn't realize that the Magic inside her had reacted with her will. The Magic made her legs move many times faster than usual.
The bird realized that there was one more prey trying to escape from it. So the bird immediately stretched its claws towards Arty.
However, Arty dashed with such incredible speed that its claws couldn't touch her.
*BRAAK!*
The claws hit the wall behind Arty. Meanwhile Arty made it out of the classroom.
She took a sharp turn and then ran down the corridor. Arty used all of her strength to run. She even kept cursing in her heart because she was too shocked.
Arty did not respond to the words of several people who shouted for him. They are students and teachers who are still clueless about what really happened. Or those who came to their senses faster and ran with her.
"THERE'S A FUCKING MONSTER IN MY CLASSROOM!" Arty screamed at the top of her lungs. "You'd better run if you want to survive!"
After saying that Arty continued running her. This time the giant bird monster had left class and entered the corridor.
She heard screams that made the school even more raucous.
When she looked back Arty saw the bird was trudging along chasing the frightened students down the corridor because of its size.
She looked at all the students. Their faces showed extreme fear and despair.
One of the students fell and froze in fright.
'Don't be a hero, Arty.' Arty said to herself.
But when she saw the female student froze with doom right in front of her eyes, suddenly her two legs moved by themselves.
She ran back towards the female student. Arty, somehow, couldn't let the female student die.
Arty gathered all of her will in her body and dashed as hard as she could. The giant bird had already opened its beak to tear the female student apart.
However, before its beak hit the student, Arty's kick had already hit it and pushed the bird's beak aside.
*BUAGH!*
The giant bird's beak was embedded in the wall and stuck there.
Arty pulled the female student's hand. "Come on!"
However, because she was too late in her fear, the female student still froze with wide eyes staring at the giant bird.
Arty growled then yanked her up forcefully. Because otherwise, she wouldn't be able to move and make her actions wasted.
While the giant bird was still trying to pull its beak off the wall, Arty grabbed the hand of the female student who was still in a dazed state.
The two of them ran down the corridor until they were finally able to get out into the courtyard outside the school along with the other terrified residents of the school.
'So it's like a beast that has evolved because of Magic?' Arty didn't have too much trouble believing that because she already got early notice. However, it's not the same case with other people at this school.
"T-thank you," said the female student who was running with tears next to her.
"Oh," Arty turned her head. "It's alright."
Arty actually didn't know the reason why she ran back and saved her. She just obeyed her conscience which seemed to have controlled her body.
Arty often helps out when she sees someone in need. However, she is also not a fool who will be charged in front of danger.
'Could it be that the Magic inside me awakens something else as well?' Arty wondered. She intended to ask Aurdis or Saeldir that later.
"Without you, I would have died. Thank you for saving my life!" the female student he saved held Arty's hand tightly.
When Arty looked up and looked at her, she could see tears already filling her face.
"It's fine. Now-"
Before Arty could finish her sentence, the sound of windows and walls breaking was heard.
When she looked up, she saw that the giant bird that had just come out smashed the wall.
It spreads its wings and emits screams that are disturbing and cause nightmares.
Chaos, which hasn't even subsided, is now getting worse. Arty and the others immediately ran away.

A notification appeared in front of his vision when Erend had just returned from Eternal Earth to complete the Daily Quest.
He sighed before reading the system notification.
However, when he read it Erend's eyes widened.
[ Urgent Quest: Monsters created by evolution due to the awakening of Magic have appeared in various places. Kill these monsters (5) ]
[Rewards: 500 Exp. ]
"Shit!" Erend immediately came out of his room and canceled his intention to go to the military headquarters. Images of Arty in danger-filled his head.
As soon as he came out of the house, Erend saw a giant flying creature in the sky of the city. The flapping of its wide wings can be heard from down here.
However, Erend immediately realized that he couldn't immediately use his Skills and attack the monster. Or he will reveal his power and identity.
Or not, because Erend remembered he could use [Dragon Scale] to cover his whole body with a red scale.
He was scanning around to see if anyone would see him. As soon as he saw no one, Erend immediately activated his Skill.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]
Black and red scales immediately enveloped Erend's body. The scale had saved his life so many times that he lost count.
That skill is one of his most useful skills because with it he can withstand many attacks that should have killed him from the start.
Now that he had activated [Dragon Scale], Erend activated one more skill.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Wings (Lv.1) ]
Now a pair of wings appeared behind his back. Erend flapped those wings and his body shot up with incredible speed.
'If it's come to this, there might come a time when I have to completely transform into a Dragon.'
Erend thought that it was very possible. Considering that the new Magic's awakening is in its early stages and there are already many monsters appeared, it is not impossible that the longer it takes, the more monsters that are created will also get stronger.
So he also has to increase the attack power he spends in this world. And finally, the sighting of a Dragon in the Republic of Ascaria is inevitable.
Erend chuckled angrily. He really didn't want to do that. However, did he have a choice when that time came?
The higher he flew, Erend could see the flying monster's form more clearly. It turned out not to be a bird like he had thought before. But a giant bat.
The bat has a wingspan of about ten meters from one end to the other.
Unlike the bat which was supposed to be blind, the bat now has bloodshot eyes that appear bloodthirsty.
It turned its head as it noticed Erend's presence. Then the giant bat opened its mouth and emitted a sound wave towards Erend.
*WOOONGG!*
The sound waves were so clear that they formed cones of air that headed in Erend's direction.
As soon as he was hit by the sound wave, Erend was immediately pushed back by the strong force. It made his ears ringing as well.
Fortunately, Erend was able to hold himself in the air by flapping his wings.
After that, Erend shot up to avoid the cone of sound waves.
And then he flapped his wings hard to lunge at the giant bat.
