Chapter 318 Confusion & Disbelief
(From MC's perspective)
Simulation battle,
Right after the death of the bloodline monster. The environment changes again. This time I appeared in the middle of a jungle at night time.
My eyes lit up with surprise.
It was the first time that I came across such an environment. I wonder what type of monster is going to appear. Especially at night time the monsters' activities will be higher.
When I'm staring at the pitch-black darkness. I hear a buzzing sound out of nowhere. The sound was so minute. But as the seconds go by the buzzing sound starts to increase.
After realizing the situation, I turned toward the direction where the noise came from.
A couple of seconds later,
When the noise got closer, I probed the monster's details.
[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]
[Ding! The command is initiated %]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Ancient Blood Mosquito ( Phantom)]
[Bloodline: Rare]
[Level: 3rd order]
[Strength: 220]
[Vitality: 219]
[Speed: 218]
[Stamina: 221]
[Skill: Blood Sucker]
The monster's information appeared before my eyes. Seeing that it's another rare class bloodline monster. I decided to finish it as soon as possible.
Especially the skill Bloodsucker doesn't sound good at all. I can already imagine the countless monsters that died by this skill.
"Gravity Field," I uttered.
This time I fully released the gravitational force. When the wave of pressure descended the mosquito monster squeezed into blood mist. It didn't have any opportunity to make a move and died in the end.
Pfff
The process is over in a blink of an eye. I don't why? But I don't like the weird mosquito monster at all.
[Round 3: Cleared]
[Next round starts in 15 seconds]
Outside,
Lion Heart is calmly observing students' status. It's been 10 minutes since the start of the simulation and the students were doing fine.
But he knows this is not a real situation. The real road lies ahead. Suddenly, he walked past one of the student's pods, and coincidentally his gaze landed on the display screen.
"Round 3?" Lion Heart uttered in surprise. He stopped his movements and looked at the display screen again.
After confirming nothing wrong with his eyes. His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Who is this kid? Cleared three rounds in ten minutes. Such a feat deserved to be high talent.
But when he realizes the identity of the person. His eyes filled with surprise. "That's right. Gravity is king in the control field," Lion Heart muttered to himself.
Once the enemy is trapped inside the field. Then it will be easier for the wizard to finish it off. Lion Heart quickly connected the dots.
"Vincent Carey uh?"
"He is good," A quick glint flashes in Lion Heart's eyes. Earlier, he hoped to see a good performance from Vincent. After confirming that Vincent is promising, he feels satisfaction.
Then he quickly walked up to the first pod. The display screen shows round 2. A frown appeared on Lion Heart's face. Lara White is a level-3 wizard then what's stopping her?
When he was lost in thought, the information changed suddenly. Round 2 becomes round 3 now. Seeing that he sighed in relief.
He thought Lara was taking her time to finish off the monster. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the time difference between Vincent and Lara.
Shaking his head, Lion Heart continues to monitor everyone.
15 minutes later,
One of the screens went off. Right after the pod cover automatically opened and a weapon hall student stepped out of it.
Lion Heart looked at the timing with a pondering gaze. Then he advised the student to adjust his mentality. The student who exited first became the last in the ranking.
So the 50th rank now belongs to the Weapon Hall.
Lion Heart feels combat wizards are restricted. Especially the weapon users. It is very difficult to kill the monster in one blow unless they are highly trained in combat.
Time goes on,
5 minutes later,
Another student came out. He is from the power hall. Lion Heart didn't make any comments. This simulation battle is a test to see the real potential of seed candidates.
He will make further plans based on this result.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
1 hour later,
Many students exited the pod after failing to reach the next round.
These students from the Outer House. Except for a few outer house wizards the rest of the students who were active in the simulation were inner house members.
As time went on, the outer house wizards waiting outside were aware of their ranking.
They already find out the identity of the other outer house wizards who were active in the simulation.
The identity of Vincent Carey is especially attractive. Because he is the strongest wizard in the outer house and ranked 1st in the battle tower.
Slowly Vincent started to become the representative in everyone's heart. But only a few noticed some differences.
Vincent is ahead of Lara White in round clearance. Some thought it was a fluke at first. But the status continued to remain the same as time went on.
Slowly the discussion starts to spread among outer house wizards. Everyone felt confused but no one dared to ask the mentor.
30 minutes later,
The first inner house member exited the pod and he is ranked 32nd in this Simulation Battle.
At this time, everyone from the outer house failed to clear the further rounds except Vincent Carey.
Gasp!
Seeing the appearance of inner house members. The outer house wizards exclaimed in surprise. Some of them felt their scalp go numb.
What are you talking about? This inner house member is also from Weapon Hall. But he is a level-3 wizard compared to Vincent who is level 2.
Then why did he come earlier instead of Vincent?
The 18 wizards from the outer house were in a state of disbelief and confusion.
Only Lion Heart has an amusing smile on his face. Even he feels that he underestimated the horror of gravity magic.
"Worthy to be the power of sub-taboo magic," He said in his heart.
But the weapon wizard from the inner house caught the expression of outer wizards.
Finally, his gaze fell on a fellow weapon hall member. He immediately inquires about the details from him.
After knowing the reason for the strange reactions, his expression turned dark. How could it be? Is there something wrong with the simulation?
But when his gaze lands on the mentor. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He doesn't dare to go and ask questions.
Rather he decided to wait for fellow weapon hall members.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Slowly the number of inner house members exiting the pod starts to increase. From the mouth of the 32nd-ranked member, everyone starts to be aware of the changes.
There are two wizards currently leading the position. Vincent Carey, Gravity Level-2 Wizard, and Lara White, Snowstorm Level-3 wizard. But both of them were not level-4 wizards. Which is another confusing thing worth to be noticed.
Suddenly, another inner house wizard walks out. He is none other bald wizard who looked at Vincent with a cold gaze earlier. He is now ranked 23rd in the ranking.
"Paul come here," suddenly a voice reached his ears.
Hearing that bald wizard recognized the voice. The voice came from the direction of elemental hall wizards.
Then he walked towards his group to join.
"Paul, congratulations!"
Seeing him coming the elemental wizards start to congratulate him.
Getting the appreciation of everyone, he feels good. Then Paul starts to inquire about his fellow competitors. Especially the rival group from the weapon hall.
But soon Paul feels something wrong. Then he immediately learned about the situation. After learning that the person who is leading the ranking is none other than Vincent Carey.
His intestines turned green. How could that weasel be? His mind went blank for a moment. He knows that Vincent is a gravity wizard from the sub-taboo hall. But still, the reality shook him to the core.
Not even the level-4 wizards seem to lead the ranking. Then how come the level-2 wizard can do that?
Seeing his complicated expression. The elemental wizards near him revealed a smile on their faces. Because he is not the first one with that expression.
The people who came earlier were also dumbfounded by the situation. Finally, some of the inner house students weren't able to hold on.
The inner house wizards from the elemental hall, power hall, and weapon hall walked toward the mentor.
Lion Heart who is leisurely sitting on the chair noticed their arrival. "Hmph, they weren't able to hold on in the end," he sneered inside.
Seeing the actions of inner house wizards, the wizards from the outer house gathered together to witness the scene.
None of them dared to ask a mentor earlier. But these inner house wizards are something.
Among the group of inner house wizards, Paul is one among them. Finally, a top level-3 wizard from the weapon hall took initiative to ask a question.
"Mentor Lion?"
"What's wrong with the simulation?"
When his words fell. The atmosphere quieted down for a moment. Everyone heard his voice crystal clear.
