Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

The next morning....

"So, who wants these ones?". Muku asked looking at the two beasts in front of them. They had already eaten breakfast and left the house, continuing their journey toward Hope's place. The two beasts he was talking about were giant lizards about the size of a cow. They had green scales covering their whole bodies, large claws on their legs and bloodthirsty yellow eyes.

"Sir, aren't you getting a little too lazy". Emily couldn't help but ask.

"What are you talking about, I'm only giving you all a chance to catch up". Muku replied with a nonchalant expression.

"But aren't we all still Low Rank Ones?". Emily asked, confused. Even the other girls were wondering what he was talking about.

"Tsk, can't you just let your teacher be lazy for one morning you brats!. I'll kill one then, while Chloe and Hope kill the other". Muku rolled his eyes as he spoke.

Before anyone could say anything, he propelled himself forward with his telekinesis. When he got in front of the beast and it wanted to slash at it's head with his sword. It tried to move out of the way but one of its front legs wouldn't move. Before it figured out what was happening, its head was split in two.

[93 kills left....]

It gave him two kills points despite being a Low Rank One. As for why its leg couldn't move, Muku had been practicing. And his telekinesis could now barely deserve the name. Though it was still nothing impressive. After killing it, he ran back to the team. This all happened in less than five seconds. Stunning not only the girls but the other lizard too.

"What are you zoning out for Chloe and Hope?. Attack it before it chooses to run away...oh wait, seems there's no need to worry". Muku was afraid the other lizard would run after seeing its companion so easily killed, but whether luckily on not. It turned berserk instead and charged forward, it's eyes having turned red. It was even giving off a Mid Rank One aura now.

Crack! Crack!

Chloe quickly reacted seeing it rush forward and sent out blue lightning bolts from both her hands. Her power needed to be built up to increase in lethality so her sudden attack only managed to slow down the berserk lizard.

"Hope!". She called out to her partner in the fight.

Hearing her name, Hope jumped into action, green mist came out of her hands and went toward the lizard, covering it's whole body in it. Although with the lizard's current Rank, the poisonous mist wouldn't kill it in a short period of time, it managed to irritate its eyes until it covered them. During this time, Chloe was building up and attack.

"I wonder if this would be enough...". With that statement from Chloe.

Boom!

A loud sound was heard, dark blue lightning with half a metre radius came from the space in front of her two hands, it flew out aiming at the lizard's head.

The force from the shot even through Chloe backwards, she hadn't been expecting it since this was the first time she tried it. If Muku didn't act quick enough and grab her, she might have been the first one in their team to be thrown into a wall by her own attack.

[99 kills left....] (Hope)

[97 kills left....] (Chloe)

The lizard's upper body was erased as soon as the lightning bolt hit it. The bolt continued for a distance into the sky before disappearing.

Hope and Chloe heard the familiar voice. Though Chloe couldn't care less in that moment. Her head has blanked out, her face red as a ripe tomato. All because she was still in Muku's hands. He was even carrying her like a princess.

"Can you put her down now?". Jade said in a grumbling voice. Emily was pouting, Layla has her eyes narrowed a bit while the air around her, got a bit colder. Hope the pure child who didn't think of such things yet was confused by why something seemed wrong with everyone.

"Oh right, sorry, she just smells so nice and is so sof.... I'll shut up now". Muku suddenly felt like he'd be in danger if he continued speaking when he saw the looks the girls were giving him. So he stopped talking and put Chloe down.

"Cough...good job Chloe and Hope. Chloe what an amazing attack skill, have a name for it yet". Muku spoke up trying to lighten the mood.

"Ah, oh, I don't have a name for it... I'll tell you when I do". Chloe's brain was still scattered from being carried and his words after that so she couldn't think properly at the time.

"Oh, okay. I hope you learn how to deal with the recoil though.... Of course I don't mind catching you until you do. Anyway let's continue, that attack will likely draw in some beasts here." Muku spoke, and as he did, he felt that feeling of danger again but this time ignored it continued to say what he wanted to.

"O-okay". The still bashful Chloe replied.

"Good". Muku said.

"Pervert". Jade came close to Muku and whispered before walking forward.

"Sigh". Unlike the usual super dense protagonists, Muku wasn't. He already knew that the girls all liked him more than they should a teacher. Except for Hope of course. Hell even before the apocalypse, he already knew. He knew that Jade was just expressing her jealousy.

Back then they tried to hide it.... except for Emily who seemed incapable of it. But now they were all slowly exposing themselves. As a man, he was happy to be liked, but as a teacher and also as someone who knows how old the little girls are, he can can only pretend that he doesn't know what was going on.

For now he only sees them as his precious little students or little sisters at best. But of course if another dude were to show up and try something with them, that one would likely lose a limp or two...if not their their lives.

Was he being hypocritical?, yes. But in his point of view, humans are born to be hypocrites. The most hypocritical ones are those who claim to not be hypocrites. After all, deep down, they know how hypocritical they are.

...

"Flame burst!". Boom! Boom!

As they thought, the fight from before had drawn in more beasts. Right now Emily was fighting a giant python that looked like the one Jade fought before. Jade was on the side almost drooling.

The two golden fire bombs hit the beast but its defense was strong enough for it to only get inch deep wounds with a radius of around ten centimetres. Compared to the beast's large body, the wounds were manageable.

"Do you want some help?". Jade asked.

"No, you killed your own alone, I can do the same!". Emily shouted back as she prepared her next attacks.

"Sun explosion!". Emily shouted out in her cute voice as she put her hands together. And so a big sphere of golden flames with a radius of a metre appeared in front of her. The whole area felt a bit hotter. Emily's clothes were actually getting destroyed just by the heat.

The snake felt danger and wanted to flee but it's head was stuck in place unable to move. Emily was focusing on her attack so she didn't notice this weird scene, but the other girls noticed it, they all looked at Muku briefly but didn't say anything. They knew that if he didn't do that, Emily's long to prepare attack would likely miss, and it seemed to take a lot of power like Chloe's previous attack from which she hadn't recovered yet.

BOOM!

As soon as the attack made contact with the beast. An even louder explosion sounded. The snake was burnt to a crisp and died on the spot.

[96 kills left....]

Only Emily got the kill points, Muku technically didn't harm the snake after all.

"Well fu..! Did she feel that the noise from the previous fight wasn't enough or something!?". Muku said, feeling a headache coming. With this, they will definitely have to fight a few more times than they would have had to do if such a loud sound wasn't made.

"But you have to admit it's a cool attack though...even has a cool name too "Sun explosion". Jade chimed in.

"This brat!". Muku's developing headache progressed a few more stages.
