A voice rang out, pulling his attention away from the clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately leaped back, before looking around, and seeing everyone looking at them with confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Lucas and saw a strange creature right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A void lich... so it's a void-type dungeon, huh,\" Aestrea muttered, darting his eyes towards Zeva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she too, had noticed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of jumping into the fight, Zeva merely raised her voice, loud enough for everyone to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consider this boss fight as part of my class! Whoever performs well enough will at least get a B-level grade!\" Her declaration rang out, and she casually stepped back from the fight, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she turned away, she shot a glance at Aestrea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll continue our fight later,\" she said, her smile widening mischievously as she winked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea clicked his tongue in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crazy bitch...\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his attention quickly shifted back to the Void Lich, the creature looming menacingly before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Judgement Eye (✦ S-Level Skill ✦) 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm... no weakness whatsoever. This kind of monster is really annoying. You can only defeat it with sheer strength.\" Aestrea crossed his arms in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at the students. Even the ones who had been paralyzed by fear seemed to snap out of it the moment Zeva spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in his perspective, now they could do their maximum because they knew that the professor would save them if they were in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And taking the chance, Ella shouted, \"Let's realize our old plan!\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the students moved. Groups formed, dividing the room into smaller teams. The healers stayed behind, and the fighters moved to the front, preparing for the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The groups split into two types of fighters: those who would distract the Void Lich, and those who would focus on dealing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rose!\" Ella shouted and suddenly, Aestrea felt the heat of the room increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Fire Series: Hell Vulcano!

It was like Mia's spell, but much stronger, more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, the currents of lava also divided the whole room into three parts, just enough for the three groups!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like this was part of their plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first group, the ones tasked with distracting the Lich, began hurling spells at it. But the Void Lich's magic was too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its void aura absorbed the attacks, negating them without much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the second group took advantage of the situation, attacking all at once, landing several blows on the Lich's exposed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Grahfh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich let out a strange, growling sound, recoiling slightly as it swayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, a small black ball began to form in the air, swirling with dark energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea narrowed his eyes, as he reached out to his sword, but then he realized, that his help wasn't needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Devastation Sword!

(✦ Advanced-level Swordsmanship (B+) ✦) 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas twisted his body, dealing with the skeletons that were now swarming around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Maya charged straight at the Lich, her fists glowing with a blue aura. She threw a powerful punch directly at the Lich's sturdy structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of Maya's punch sent a jolt up her arms, her teeth gritting from the force of the hit. But before she could throw another punch, the Lich swung its massive arm at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya quickly crossed her arms in an 'X' shape, blocking the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya was sent flying toward the wall, crashing into it with a painful thud. But before she could hit the ground, Iris was there, jumping into the air and catching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iris!\" Maya groaned, but Iris was already healing her, casting a spell to mend her injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the battle continued, the other students formed a tight circle around the Void Lich, their teamwork growing more synchronized by the minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dealt small bits of damage here and there, but their combined efforts were enough to keep the pressure on the Lich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if the battle was going well, some things weren't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ella, I can't hold it anymore...!\" Rose shouted as her mana reserves began to dwindle. She was almost at her limit and couldn't hold the spell anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ella could respond, there was a sudden flash in front of Rose's eyes. A figure appeared, standing in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar white-haired boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-Aestrea...?\" Rose stammered, looking at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea smirked, positioning himself behind her in an instant. He wrapped his arms around her waist, making a small blush creep out to her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha-wha-wha, w-what are you doing?!\" Rose exploded, her voice rising as she started to fluster, her face starting to match the color of her red hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea didn't say a word because he didn't need to. Rose immediately felt a warm surge of mana flowing into her, filling her to the brim with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-ah...\" She immediately understood the reason behind Aestrea's actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea was giving her his mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant his mana infused her, the strength of her spell skyrocketed. Aestrea stood silently behind her, guiding her hands, and helping her manipulate the lava currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the swirling lava, small fish made of lava began to form, swimming through the air toward the Void Lich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It passed a while, and finally, when Rose could manipulate the spell alone, Aestrea slowly stepped back, releasing his hold on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… What's up with your shy expression?\" Aestrea teased with a grin, leaning in slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you fall in love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose's face turned even redder, her cold expression had completely melted under Aestrea's presence, in just a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She avoided his gaze, glancing down, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just kidding, relax a little.\" Aestrea chuckled, flashing her one last mischievous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, he leaned even closer than before, his lips just a few centimeters away from her left ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until later, cute redhead~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could say anything, Aestrea vanished from her sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose, left standing there, blinked several times, trying to recover from the sudden rush of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her knees wobbled slightly, and she bit her lip in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard...\" she muttered under her breath, swatting at her face with her hand in an attempt to cool down while still manipulating the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Aestrea smiled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was fun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, his gaze locked on the Void Lich as his eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the entire room was bathed in a brilliant golden light, so bright it made everyone squint and instinctively step back, creating a little gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ella, glowing in that intense light, stepped forward, gripping the handle of her sword tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Royal Swordsmanship: Heaven's Punishment! (✦ SS-level Swordsmanship ✦) 』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light flared to life, almost blinding in its intensity. As she leaped high into the air, her sword expanded, becoming a massive beam of radiant energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swung it horizontally, the golden light trailing behind, slicing through the air like a comet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a force that shook the very air around them, her sword slammed down against the void lich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around it vibrated, humming with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....GLUATHG!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Lich lifted his staff just in time to try to block the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge, black rectangular barrier formed above his head, crackling with dark energy as it clashed with Ella's strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHIISSSSZ!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of sparkles flying echoed loudly throughout the boss's room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, black flames erupted toward the ceiling, and Lucas like a lightning bold, dashed forward, making a piercing pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon Slaying Sword Art...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『 Piercing Sword!

Did it drop the Lich Heart?\" she asked, practically bouncing with energy, grabbing Lucas's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no?\" Maya's face instantly fell, the excitement vanishing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aw...\" she groaned, her shoulders slumping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Iris chuckled as she added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Maya,\" she said with a playful grin, \"I'll take you to that restaurant as a reward for your hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay!\" Maya jumped very high, making some kind of winning position, with her fist in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group only chuckled at her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the battle over, the students started heading toward the newly appeared exit gate. They'd earned their victory, and now it was time to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the last of the students stepped through the gate, Aestrea, under Zeva's approached the dead body of the Void Lich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey... wake up you bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know that you're still alive.\" he kicked its bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zeva's smile only seemed to have widened as another good aspect of Aestrea had been noted in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creack...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Aestrea spoke those words, the bones of the Void Lich began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton shifted, and then—crack—it reformed into a smaller, incomplete figure, its skull missing entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Lich had a very hidden ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ressurection from the dead, or in other words, it had two lives. And apparently, the other students seemed to have forgotten that, but Aestrea didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after being revived, the Void Lich were much weaker than before and it would take years before they could truly regain their true strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea's hand pressed against the Lich's brittle ribcage, the bones cold and fragile under his touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, tell me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes began to glow in a deep, unsettling red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich shuddered violently, its form quivering as if trying to escape her grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of curse did you put on the students?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich's skeletal body trembled, its empty eye sockets shaking in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around them grew thick, heavy with an unnatural chill, as if the very room itself feared Aestrea's cold voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones creaked, the Lich's spirit trapped and trembling under his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>",2031,"2026-06-03T09:18:17.018Z","2026-06-03T09:18:22.334Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f9d262e1ba242708fceb1c3ebdd7304c18589c74d3016e4b57640595d294d59","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-40","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-38",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-cover.jpg"]
