"Eat it!" yelled another.

But that's as far as they got before I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters.

"Back off!" I yelled at the rest, trying to sound fierce. Behind them stood their instructor--a six-foot tall telekhine with Doberman fangs snarling at me. I did my best to stare him down.

"New lesson, class," I announced. "Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is completely normal, and will happen to you right now if you don;t BACK OFF!"

To my surprise, it worked. The monsters backed off, but there was at least twenty of them. My fear factor wasn't going to last that long.

I jumped out of the cart, yelled, "CLASS DISMISSED!" and ran for the exit.
