For the first time since I was reincarnated, I moved out of the small room that became my home, or rather the final boss room in the dungeon. Looking up at the sky, I could see two bright moons waving back at this world. One was yellow and filled with craters, while the other was smaller and looked like an uncut ruby: Lunaris and Lunoria, the two sisters of the Sun God.

Well, that was how I called them at least. I had yet to find any sort of book in that old man's library to tell me anything about the creation of the current world from any point of view. Even so, admiring the stars wasn't the reason I walked out of that room. Somewhere on my territory, there were 25 Assassins ready to attack a certain target. Who exactly that person was, I had no idea, but if it was a student, and they got hurt because I didn't act, the old man was sure to kill me.

"Sigh... and here I thought I had it easy."

Looking around, I wondered where exactly they were hiding. The controls of a dungeon's specific skills were rather hard for me to grasp. I was born as a normal healthy human, not a Dungeon Core.

"Where are they?" I asked myself.

Suddenly, I saw a couple of shadows leaping through the trees.

The advantage of being a Dungeon Core with a big Dungeon Territory was that I could easily detect any intruders and instinctively know their exact locations, but until I saw those shadows, I was unaware of this ability.

I flew above them, hiding through the branches of the trees and watched them as they ran through the forest. Judging strictly by the size of their chest and ass, I deduced I was up against 14 men and 11 women out of which one was either a flat plank or a trap. They were all dressed up in the same black clothes like some sort of ninjas from an anime.

The 25 red dots moved quite fast towards the Dormitory. They were agile too, seeing as how the small forest between them and their target was traversed without a hitch. Still, this wasn't the time to be admiring them. Once they arrived at the dormitory, the students and teachers inside would be in danger.

This is a bit strange though... You would normally send one or two assassins to stealthily kill a target, not 25. Who are they hunting with such high numbers? was what I was asking myself as I moved ahead of them.

After picking a spot on intersect course with them, I began to formulate a plan while looking at my skills. I only had a few moments before the enemies arrived. For the time being, I decided against summoning a monster because there was a chance that I wasn't able to control them. I had to practice a lot more before I tried that and even so, if I spawned a lvl 1 Slime or Goblin, then the attackers would easily take care of it. The other option was to use large-scale attacks, but the only one capable of that was Fireball. I had no idea how strong the ability was, but judging by what the principal told me earlier, it was fairly weak.

Why didn't I gain some useful magic skills? I asked myself with a sigh.

My current Magic Attack Skills were:

[Fireball] <Cast a ball made completely out of Magic Energy fueled fire. The more Magic Energy one puts into this spell, the more powerful it becomes. Voice Command: Ashur Nav Es>

[Ice Spear] <Cast a sharp spear made out of Enchanted Ice at the targeted Enemy. The more Magic Energy one puts into this spell, the more powerful it becomes. Magic Energy cost: 25 Magic Energy Points. Doubling the Magic Energy will create a second Spear. Voice Command: Eret Elf Es>

And those were it...

Technically speaking, I had quite the amount of magic energy, so if I spammed it fast enough, I could probably annihilate them with Ice Spear. The problem was Fireball. Unlike the other skill, this one didn't mention anything about targeting the enemy. If I were to guess, I had to focus my magic on the point of conjugation and then aim it at the target. If I guessed right, it was the type I could use with a weapon as well.
