Monster of the bell

* After Lambert rang the bell, a Chimera appeared at the school.
	+ Form contains a lion's head, goat body, poisonous snake tail and large bat wings that all joined together.
		- The one spotted during the night of the Academy Riot was larger in size than the Water Slime encountered during the last incident.
	+ Takes after the one from Greek mythology.
		- Immensely strong and resilient with the ability to breathe fire from its mouth.
			* Fires so hot that it can set mountains ablaze.
	+ Extremely dangerous in this world.
		- Artificial familiar created by the military.
* With her game knowledge, Rei wants to avoid fighting the chimera and tries to get Claire to retreat.
	+ Claire refuses, wanting to stop the monster now and there.
	+ She rationalizes that reducing the damage done by the chimera will prevent further punishment to Lene.
		- Even Lene was at a loss for words.
	+ Claire is flustered that Rei suggests Claire still cares for Lene despite the betrayal.
		- Claire tries to reason that it is because Lene is her responsibility.
	+ Rei and Claire continue to flirt until the masked man interrupts them, stopping any more progress in stalling for time.
		- The man orders Lambert to direct the chimera to attack the nobles.
		- It's first attack being Hate Cry, the same technique used by the monster slime.
			* That experience allowed Claire and Rei to successfully defend against it.
		- The chimera has three attributes due to it being made from different organisms.
			* Lion's Head - Fire
			* Goat's Torso - Earth
			* Snake's Tail - Water
	+ Claire attacks with a fire lance which is deflected by the chimera's tail.
	+ Rei fires stone arrows from behind at Lambert and his bell but are stopped by the masked man's wind barrier magic.
		- He mentions how ruthless Rei's tactics are which she notes how true it is if it means ending the battle early and keeping Claire safe.
	+ The chimera opens its mouth and unleashes fire breath upon the two.
		- Rei is able to cover Claire with her body and cast a water barrier to protect them.
		- They are safe but the entire room is scorched and filling with smoke.
	+ They move outside and plan to guide the chimera to the sports ground in the back.
		- As they make a break for it, they announce their escape to help lure them into the right direction.
	+ As they exited the building, it collapsed.
		- The chimera erupted from the rubble and Claire responds by firing bunches of flame arrows.
		- While damaging, it did not stop it from charging towards the pair.
		- Rei casts Freeze which enclosed the chimera in a large block of ice.
			* The chimera breathes fire upon the ice and melts itself free.
			* Claire asks why Rei didn't freeze the Chimera completely.
				+ Rei answers that it would take time but also the tail would not be affected.
	+ The chimera begins another attack, subtly cornering them in the process.
	+ Rei brings up how Sein used enchant wind to augment Claire's attack.
		- Rei will do the same with her water magic in this case.
		- Claire mentions that she needs time to cast Magical Ray to which Rei works to buy Claire more time.
		- The two attack the chimera with a barrage of fire bullets and then paralyze it with another freeze.
		- In that moment, Claire takes time and casts Magical Ray, piercing through the Chimera's fire breath and skewering it.
	+ The chimera did not move any more and in a moment, they let their guard down.
* The masked man snuck up on them and swiped a knife at Claire.
