Compared to the ground machine gun, this high-velocity rotary cannon mounted on the fighter jet was what brought out its greatest power, as it ignores orientation and terrain. Using the high mobility of the aircraft, it swept down from the air. Since the Wolf Pack had nothing that could threaten the jet, the jet could soar and swoop over their heads at will.
As the wolf pack was coming from all sides and surrounding Sebastian, the 20 Typhoon fighters also divided into four groups, with five units in each area. Throughout the battle, all that remained was the roar of fighter planes and the bursting sound of their rotary cannons.
Many of the wolves on the ground were hit with dozens, or even hundreds, of armor-piercing bullets and died on the spot, unable to make the slightest resistance. They wanted to leap up and destroy those flying at high speed, but they couldn't reach them at all.
Because of the obedience of the Wolf Pack, as long as the Wolf King did not give the order, they wouldn't scatter or flee. This was the Wolf Pack's greatest strength, but at this moment, it had become their worst nightmare.
A densely packed Wolf Pack became a living target, as the jet didn't need to align itself. After dashing across with its rotary cannon firing, hundreds of wolves were hit and fell.
In less than a minute, more than 5,000 wolf corpses lay on the ground, and countless others were injured. This far exceeded the total casualties of the previous two matches at Hope's Peak Academy, but the strafing with the rotary cannon continued, as the slaughter was not yet complete.
Seeing the dead wolves on the ground, the spectators watching the battle were stunned. They had suspected that Sebastian's creation would be unusual, but it was unexpectedly powerful! How was this still a sparring match? It was a one-sided massacre now!
Under such terrifying firepower, and witnessing the tragic deaths of their comrades around them, even well-disciplined remaining wolves couldn't help but panic.
"Disperse! Quickly, let the wolf pack disperse!" Only then did the members of Sirius Academy react and hurriedly give the order. A pack was a living target for others.
The howl of the Wolf King sounded again, but this time, it carried a hint of anger and fear. The remaining wolves immediately scattered in all directions in panic.
"Still not giving up?" Seeing this, Yuuki's gaze darkened as he issued an order: "Continue the attack and kill the remaining wolves as fast as you can!"
Since they didn't admit defeat, we would make them surrender!
The Typhoon fighters coordinated to pursue the fleeing wolves. Their speed was fast, but how could it compare to a fighter jet and a barrage of bullets? In addition to the rotary cannon, the Mk 84 bombs dropped shouldn't be underestimated. While they couldn't kill wolves as efficiently as armor-piercing bullets, they could injure them.
Across the battlefield, the sound of the rotary cannon firing relentlessly filled the air. Although the shooting efficiency decreased slightly, there was still plenty of ammunition. In less than two minutes, another 5,000 wolves lay dead on the ground.
By this point, the Wolf Pack had lost over 10,000 members. Even with their discipline, such a rapid casualty rate caused their collapse. They dared not resist anymore; they exerted all their strength to flee at full speed, with the 20 jets in pursuit.
"We admit defeat," finally said the Sirius Academy captain, helplessly.
He couldn't continue fighting, it was an impossible battle. Over 10,000 wolves had died, slaughtered without resistance!
"The Sirius Academy team concedes defeat, and Hope's Peak Academy wins this match!" the referee announced simultaneously in the room and the viewing area.
In the room, Clifford and the others weren't cheering. Instead, their eyes showed disbelief. This victory came too suddenly; they had done nothing but rely on Sebastian's creation. The wolf pack, numbering over 100,000, was quickly taken out.
Sebastian stood first, embraced each teammate, and then walked out of the room. According to tradition, a friendly handshake with the opponent was customary.
"Sebastian, what is that thing you built?" the Sirius Academy captain asked as he shook hands with Sebastian.
The others looked on with curiosity. For something capable of flight and wielding such fearsome firepower, no one was left unaffected.
"Aircraft Pilot," Sebastian replied after some thought. "This is a new type of race I created after my planet became Leel 2."
"Aircraft Pilot? Aircraft?" The Sirius captain nodded slightly. "Next time... let's battle again!"
"If there's a chance," Sebastian responded.
After the handshake, Sebastian and his teammates exited. A large group, including Prokopy and the school administrators, was already waiting outside.
The young vice-principal was nearly in tears. They had won again, placing in the top four! This was the first time in Hope's Peak Academy's history that they had advanced so far; prior years, few had even made it past the first round, and only a handful reached the top four.
This match between Hope's Peak and Sirius was the fastest to finish. The other three matches were still ongoing.
Prokopy and others looked ahead, eager to win the next game. While studying tactics and watching the other matches, especially the one that might feature Hope's Peak's next opponent, people began paying attention to Hope's Peak, particularly Sebastian. Many cast curious glances.
"Is he the only Great Mythical Level freshman at Hope's Peak, the team captain Sebastian?"
"Did you see that match? Sebastian created a new race called Aircraft Pilot!"
"Aircraft Pilot? What exactly is that?"
"Aircraft Pilot can mimic an aircraft; it not only flies but also has fearsome firepower. I won't go into details, but you can see it in the game footage!"
"Indeed, the Sirius wolf pack was shot down by these aircraft, at least 10,000 dead with no chance to fight back."
"So terrifying. I'll need to inspect it later. This new species sounds very interesting."
Many people discussed excitedly.
Meanwhile, Sebastian, Clifford, and the others watched a projected match. The opponents were Heaven University, part of Summit Academy, and Summit itself, an old school. The winner would face Hope's Peak next.
The match was evenly matched, with intense fighting that dragged on for half an hour. Both sides traded blows, tentative and cautious.
Sebastian and his team found the pace a bit dull, until finally, Heaven Academy's team couldn't hold back and launched an attack on Summit.
"Heaven Academy is impulsive, they're walking into Summit's trap and will lose," a bystander said.
Clifford observed that Summit had indeed set a trap, waiting for Heaven to fall into it. The result was unsurprising; Heaven was ensnared, surrounded, and defeated shortly after. They had no choice but to admit defeat.
"I wonder who devised that tactic? It was impressive," a teacher exclaimed.
"It must have been their captain and top freshman, Joffrey Tod. He's quite famous," the vice-principal explained. "I have contacts, but our school isn't liked much."
"This guy is excellent at tactics and strategic planning," he added. "Be sure to watch for traps on the other side, he likes setting them."
Meanwhile, in the Summit Academy battle room, the five winners just caught their breath when they heard shocking news.
"What? Sirius Academy… lost!?" Their expressions were incredulous.
"Not only lost, but they were wiped out in less than ten minutes," the lead coach said.
"Does Hope's Peak only have one Mythical and one Legendary level, and the other three are still Epic? Even our second team is better? Is there truly someone that strong?" a team member asked.
"How did Sirius lose?" Tod inquired.
"Sirius was defeated by Sebastian, the only Mythical Level freshman at Hope's Peak. His secret weapon: the new race he created, the Aircraft Pilot," the coach revealed, projecting the match footage. "Take a look."
"Aircraft Pilot? That new race is that powerful? One line of attack defeated 100,000 enemies?" The five watched intently.
They saw the Typhoon Fighter zooming through the wolf pack at incredible speed, firing armor-piercing rounds. All five fell silent. Their keen eyes caught the dangerous "Aircraft" and understood why Sirius was defeated.
"This… Sirius's forces died so miserably," a team member lamented.
"This is much more dangerous than the wolf pack. Although large, the wolf pack is ground-based; this thing flies and moves so fast. How can we deal with it? Our long-range attacks aren't enough," another said.
"It's tricky," Tod rubbed his brow. "We'll have to rely on my new race, I just built it recently."
Everyone's eyes lit up at that. They knew Tod, after reaching Level 2, had created a powerful species capable of long-range attacks.
After a half-hour break, the match resumed.
Following three rounds of elimination, only four remained in the tournament. Surprisingly, one of them was a seemingly weak lineup from Hope's Peak, previously considered bottom-tier. Historically, the top four were usually within the top 10 or five of the super-tier academies, so Hope's Peak's appearance was unusual and drew significant attention.
"Win this match, and it's the final! Come on!" the vice-principal cheered.
In the void of Hope's Peak, elders watched nervously. Their last final was 10,000 years ago, very distant indeed.
"There's hope we can win," an old man said. "It depends on whether they can counter Sebastian's new race."
This wasn't just a concern for the elders; viewers also recognized that this match was a test against Sebastian's Aircraft Pilot. Without a long-range attacker, they'd be helpless, just like Sirius's wolf pack.
The game started.
Set in a weed field, with no complicated terrain, the four species, Demonized People, Blastoises, Goblin Chiefs, and Maze Puppets, moved to rendezvous with the Astra Militarum. Unlike previous matches, their formation was compressed, shrinking from five kilometers to closer.
"Are they trying a defensive strategy?" Terrell asked.
"Should we attack first?" Clifford looked at Sebastian.
"No rush. Let's wait and see," Sebastian replied. "This is better left to Yuuki, Yamamoto, and the others."
They dispatched some drones to observe the enemy's position. Though small, the drones were noticed by the enemy's keen-eyed species.
"What's that?" They thought it was a Sebastian-side plane, but closer inspection revealed it was a tiny aircraft, scaled down several times.
"Is this the plane where Sebastian's pilot's awakening failed?" a team member guessed.
"Monitor it closely. Don't let it get attacked," Tod warned gloomily.
Using drone feeds, the enemy's position was transmitted to Yuuki.
"They're shrinking back, avoiding confrontation," Yuuki shook his head.
"Their race is mainly plant-based, strong defensively, with a powerful life force. Our shells and bullets probably won't do much," Yuuki assessed.
"Is there a more powerful unit?" Yamamoto asked.
"There's a star-devouring vine nearly a hundred meters long, but it's not enough to threaten us."
Yamamoto added, "They might have a secret weapon hidden."
"Prepare the Eagle Squadron for a bombing run. Since they're cowering, just strike their positions. But be careful," Yuuki ordered.
Minutes later, the Typhoon Fighters entered from the planet passage.
"Look! They're coming!"
"Here they come! Is this Sebastian's new race?"
"No, it's the Pilots! They operate aircraft!"
Spectators watched curiously as this peculiar new species appeared.
"All ground units, move to support the aerial assault," Sebastian ordered. "Advance in neat and orderly formation!"
"Yes," Clifford and others responded confidently.
Sebastian's intention was strategic: Otwin's Demonized People damage and Terrell's Blastoise defenses would support the aerial attack if needed.
Twenty Typhoon Fighters soared toward the enemy lines for another round of combat.
