The students stopped shooting at the boulder as they saw that it was pointless since they tried every technique, but they failed to make a scratch on the boulder.
Without anyone shooting, the boulder cracked at the center, creating a big scratch on it.
The students found a big gap during that opening; they notified the others about the crack. After seeing such a crack, energy filled their tired bodies. Their eyes were filled with mischief, happy to have successfully made a crack in the monster's shelter.
They started shooting at the boulder again, their hands pointed at the shelter and their feet exchanged, heading closer to the boulder since they had a mindset that close combat makes a big impact. So they surrounded the boulder; their hands never stopped glowing with magic.
