Finally the day Team Reaper awaited arrived they were feeling very nervous, but of course they would never disappoint Vezia with the training given to them.
Melvin and Rayyen really never get along, they even compete with each other to see who can capture the first position of the Team and can enter a special class at Academy Saintess.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Zio increasingly feels something strange from Regan since she returned from her absence a few days ago.There is more Regan clinging to her.
5 Different teams from the Academy lined up neatly on stage, the hostility between Melvin and Rayyen could not help but be seen by everyone's eyes which made them wonder what the two had done to each other.
Chelwis smilingly looked at the 5 Teams, without anyone noticing his eyes a little longer glued between Rayyen and Melvin.
"In the Team competition,team will be tested with 3 exams.The first task is to survive in the forest,you will be given 5 days to see who can survive in the forest but still do teamwork.Hutan this time is a forest that is famous for wild animals in it with a high level high, you will be tested to be able to work together and also see what you look like when you fight animals with the highest level"Chelwis menjedanya and staring at the face of the team's varied faces.
"Your second task will be announced when you enter the forest, are you ready?"
A hoarse voice echoed the ready word to be heard, Chelwis smiled slanted like a killer who managed to attract his prey.Castor who stood behind Chelwis shook his head, shaking his head,his hands swinging swinging his hand fan gracefully.A large black hole is seen each in front of the team.
"This mortal will take you to a different place on the side of the forest, you can enter" Castor explained in a soft but deadly tone.
Vezia himself looked at his team, and nodded."Good luck"Team Reaper smiled happily and unceremoniously the first to enter the portal, followed by another Team.
The team coaches were directed to join the Academy Saintess teachers to a room where there was a large glass,and the glass sitting that once reflected them is now changed and divided into 5 parts that show each team.
Chelwis sat down at the end of the chair, and began to speak up, "We can monitor the team, and see how well you train them"
They focused forward looking at each of their students.Vezia sighed in relief because the portal brought the team apart because if joined, even before the game started Melvin and Rayyen would be confused.
......................
Team Reapers gazed around the forest in amazement, they never knew this famous dangerous second forest turned out to have a hidden beautiful scenery.
"It's so beautiful, it feels like I'm not in the competition risking my life" Rose said.
Rayyen berdehem attracted their attention, as a leader in the team he needed to monitor his members and give them advice so as not to be rash to act.
"We should look for a place close to the river, because this is a test of survival.We need to get food and a way to stay alive without the help of alternatives" explained Rayyen who is believed to understand,since before they entered.Their storage rings have been taken to guard if there are those who cheat by carrying goods other than their weapons and tents.
They were only given a special pouch held by each chairman which was a pouch that could only hold weapons, and potion materials because each team had an aclhemist that even the materials collected in the pouch were given limited, limited,which makes each Alchemist should be able to find other ingredients if they need them.
Since there was no prohibition in the test to bring the brewed healing potion indeed,Kyle as the only Alchemist standing guard by brewing at least 10 bottles of healers with two of them being high healing rates.He did not know if this was enough for them considering they needed to survive 5 days, he did not know if this was enough for them to remember they needed to survive 5 days,and it could be possible that the third and second exams will take days.
Living in their teacher's cage makes Kyle always think critically and always attach importance to something that hasn't happened yet but he knows will happen,so during their journey to the river he searched for ingredients that he found useful for him and his team.
Few of them can heal wounds with magic,and they obviously needed energy to cast spells and magic so Kyle would be their place of dependency in terms of healing as well as pills that added energy.
Kyle was lucky that he knew that, and was so happy that his teacher not only taught him how to refine pills using a furnace but also taught him to use both of his bare hands as a furnace in a desperate situation,which of course makes potions without a furnace more draining energy than not using a furnace.
"Oh I heard the sound of the stream" Rayyen said and began to guide the members towards the direction of the voice she heard.
"Your ears are so sharp Rayyen, I didn't even hear the sound of the river flowing from this distance" said the dark-ash-haired youth.
Rayyen smiled not to answer, she felt no need to answer they also knew or maybe assumed it was Rayyen's sharp hearing.
Each one of them nodded, "The three of us will be looking for fruit, and might be able to hunt a bit" Kyle said.
Rayyen hummed in agreement, "Right, but it would be better to look for fruit first.The matter of hunting must take time, we better build a place to sleep tonight"
They can only agree, because Rayyen did not say it wrong.They arrived at the river bank, the sun had begun to set making the clear river look beautiful.
"I just realized something wasn't it before we entered the forest, it was still morning but why was it so late at night?"Nian's voice broke the momentary silence as they enjoyed the beautiful scene.
"Maybe the time inside this forest and outside is different" Rose chimed in when the 14-year-old girl was busy crafting the wood they collected to make a campfire.
Kyle and Nian help out while Rayyen and two other young men build a makeshift tent set up.1 tents for women and 1 more for men.After they build, the three men go hunting.
Nian, Kyle and Rose all three sat in front of the fire that started to burn with the fire element of Kyle.The cold wind from the dark start made them shiver, which was very cold,luckily, the three of them use special training clothes that do have a warming spell in it.This is a lesson for the three girls from Vezia, unlike other girls who use special training dresses in this competition, Kyle, who have a,Nian and Rose wore men's clothes so they moved more freely just like training.
Therefore many of the other few academy students looked strangely at the three not only the three of them but all of the Wizd Academy's female disciples wearing clothes like them,what is the difference is that all three belong to the team players uniform.
"Are you nervous?to be honest, I've never before taken a test where I wasn't taken care of by a waiter or had to endure like this" asked Nian,well Nian may look quiet and look like from an ordinary family but his family is among the ranks of a well-respected upper class noble family,in contrast to Kyle, a middle-class noble, it is no wonder why he hates Taylor because Taylor always bullies him because of his family status and also Taylor's independence because Kyle is superior to him as the daughter of a King.
Kyle poked another piece of wood to make the fire bigger, "Oh I'm actually almost used to it.I have an older brother who follows the war,my brother would sometimes take me on a journey to teach me what they were like when it came to going through the war.In addition to the teacher's training it made me more accustomed to it"Kyle rubbed his hands and faced the fire to warm up a little, but it was a little,I don't know why even though he was wearing warm clothes, the darker the forest was even colder.
Rose stared blankly at the roaring flames glancing slightly at Kyle and Nian, "I'm just getting used to it,actually it's a lot of fun if it doesn't involve the test of survival.I'm actually happy that at least I was able to get away from my duties as a princess, away from the servant who stalked me, away from the person who tried to curry favor with me as the King's daughter,and most importantly I don't feel uncomfortable when the servants have to serve me with small things" Rose said with a small smile, the two girls there looked at Rose in wonder.
"It's weird to hear this phrase from a princess from a famous Kingdom like yours.Honestly, I just saw a princess like you, you're really what Rose calls a simple and humble princess"Kyle stared in admiration at Rose, hoping that all the members of the kingdom could be kind and courteous to anyone regardless of caste as Rayyen, and Rose did.
Rose blushed in embarrassment but cleared her throat, "But isn't the teacher more admirable, even with her highest status as the Queen of a great Kingdom she doesn't look down on a low-class noble,even at her own servant and a beggar she was being very polite" Rose involuntarily said enthusiastically her eyes sparkled brightly thinking of her great teacher.
Kyle smiled followed by Nian, "Yep, I don't regret following Professor despite having to face his Slaughter training"
"Actually I love our training, it makes my blood boil whenever I win something scary"Nian chuckled at his own expression.
Rose and Kyle looked at each other and said in unison, "You sound like a Masochist!"Nian looked at the two and laughed loudly,kyle and Rose followed even though they did not know from all his words were funny.But they were only happy to be able to gather like this without doing complicated tasks as nobles or having to respect each other according to position.
"I'm glad to see you guys, you taught me to be friends regardless of status.I've wanted this for a long time" Rose smiled faintly, smiling slightly,step away a little from the campfire and start lying staring into the sky.Nian and Kyle follow and lie on Rose's right left.
"You promise me one thing?"Kyle raised his hand forward.
"What's that?"
Kyle said without turning his gaze away from his raised hand, "Even if we can't qualify to enter the Saintess Academy and don't team up, we will still be friends and protect each other"
Rose and Nian smiled broadly, Rose pulled Kyle's raised hand and pulled Nian's hand together in the middle, "Let's promise"
The three of them smiled widely and laughed happily, at least tonight they could be at peace before facing tomorrow the start of the exam.
