BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 Secret Scheme In The Dark
Once every student went to Supi, the professors soon followed and stayed in their quarters. They wouldn\'t help the students if they didn\'t ask, but they still stayed in the city so that they could answer anything quickly.
And Azul was currently sitting on a chair in his room. He leaned on it and looked to the ceiling. "You little piece of sh*t. You make me look like a fool in front of everyone, and even got scolded by the family head!" Azul tightened his grip on his chair and almost broke it. "You will pay for that dearly, Kye Vermillion, I can promise you that.
"You don\'t even know that I was the one making the teams, so my dear students will make you pay dearly for what you did to me. And I will make sure that you don\'t come out of this exam alive!"
***
During this time, Kye\'s group began to hunt already. They didn\'t wait to see which way they should go they immediately went out of the city. Kye tried to stop them so that they could choose a good path to hunt, but his group all cursed at him for slowing them down.
\'I don\'t even know why I tried to do that,\' Kye thought while his teammates were already fighting monsters. \'It wasn\'t as if they would have listened to me in the first place.\'
Kye was quite angry at himself. It wasn\'t because of what he tried to do with his team, but because he did so well at the writing exam. If he had tried less hard for them, he could have been in a team where he would have been able to fight, and not stay idle with nothing to do. \'Am I seriously going to wait and do nothing for three whole days?\' Just as he thought that his group killed another monster.
"Hey the level 1, come and take the orbs from the monsters!" John shouted. "You can at least do that right? Or are you too weak to even do such a simple task?"
Each monster, be it intelligent or not, left an orb inside their bodies that could either be used to craft items such as weapons or armor, or even daily life objects. However, since this was an exam, all the orbs that were looted by the students were given to the military, and in exchange, they would give them rewards based on the amount the orbs they managed to bring back amount to. And among those things, there was very rare object such as dimensional rings.
Though, to obtain such a rare object, the students had to do much more than simply kill some low-level monsters.
So Kye didn\'t answer him and just went toward the monster\'s dead bodies and took the orbs. However, what he did pissed John.
"You dare not even answer me?! Are you looking down on me or what?!" John even punched Kye in the face, making him fly a few meters away, letting go of all the orbs in the process. Thankfully for the group, Maria took them back just in time before they disappeared into the immensity of the sea of this planet.
\'This ba*tard. What did I even do to him to get hit like this?\' Kye slowly got up, glaring at him coldly to John while cleaning the blood that was coming from his nose. \'I swear being a low-level suck!\'
"What? Do you want to fight me?" John taunted him seeing such a look, before swimming toward him at full speed.
However, he was quickly stopped by a green barrier coming out of nowhere. "We don\'t have time for that, John!" Suha said coldly. "We even almost lost some orbs because of you, so be careful," He then looked at Kye, only to click his tongue immediately after.
"You\'re lucky that we don\'t have time for you," John said as he swam away with Suha, quickly followed by Maira once she gave the orb back to Kye.
\'Lucky my a*s,\' Kye rolled his eyes as he put the orbs in the bag given to him by the military. Everyone could wear this bag, but his group immediately gave it to him since he was the most useless one in the group.
He then joined his group back. He was way faster than them in the water, but he swam slowly to not attract unwanted attention.
However, the moment a few meters were separating them, a monster appeared out of nowhere, immediately heading toward Kye. He was the weaker among all those present, so the shark-like monster immediately headed toward him.
And since it came from behind, no one noticed it. Only at the last moment did Kye feel bloodlust coming from behind. So he immediately fasten to dodge the big jaw of the monster that was closing on him at a fast rate.
*Cling*
Kye\'s sudden increase in speed saved him from being killed by the shark, and the moment the others heard teeth clashing with each other, they all turned around only to see Kye being chased by a shark.
"Since when?" Suha clicked his tongue and use his ability, thus making a green barrier appear between Kye and the shark.
Kye didn\'t go at full speed, so the distance separating him from the monster wasn\'t much. And even though he wanted to kill the monster, he decided against it since his team will surely take the kill before he could.
\'Sylvia killed the monsters multiple times back in the VR, and I never received EXP every time it happened, so it won\'t change here,\' He thought as he stopped swimming since the shark was stopped by Suha\'s barrier, before being slashed by another barrier. \'Abilities are seriously a broken thing. Should I have accepted the wind ability from the military?\' Kye began to think as they continued their search for the monsters after harvesting the orb of the shark. \'No, it\'s good that I didn\'t take it. I would have been chained down by them, and even though Lidi could have helped me, it\'s only to a certain extent.
\'And there are even more possibilities now than before. There are the abilities of the four great families, and even if I don\'t choose them, I\'m sure they won\'t mind helping me find an ability that could suit me perfectly.\'
His group continued fighting until they were too tired to continue, so they decided to search for an area to rest. They used their energy without rest, and it was slowly taking a toll on their bodies. So after searching for ten minutes or so, they found an underwater cave.
Once they made sure that there wasn\'t any monster in the cave, they all let their guard down. All but Kye. He didn\'t want to be taken by surprise, so he still stood a little aware of his surrounding.
"How many orbs did we manage to harvest?" Suha said once everyone sat on the cave\'s ground.
"You killed 18 monsters, so 18 orbs," Kye answered.
"What? Are you sure you didn\'t drop some in the process to make the bag easier to carry?" Maria asked, a little annoyed by how few orbs they harvested. She had the impression that she fought for an entire day, whereas in reality, it had only been a three hours.
And even though she said that 18 orbs in three hours were already something incredible. No one could hope to have gotten so many so fast.
"Even if I wanted to, Suha kept an eye on me since the moment I got attacked by the shark. So he would have also seen me dropping them, right?"
However, Maria didn\'t like the way he spoke to her, so she stood up and said angrily. "Stop lying you trash!" She even walked toward him while controlling the water around them to make Kye choke. But Suha stopped her by enveloping Kye in a blue barrier.
"He\'s right. I didn\'t want him to die since it would have surely lessened our points. So I kept an eye on him this whole time," Suha said after Maria looked at him furiously. "And I want you two to stop picking a fight with him. You\'re pissing me and annoying me. Not to add that the professors surely keep an eye on us to see how we act, and that would surely impact our points. So stop being childish and rest because the moment our energy is full, we will go and fight again."
