The Dungeon

Seventy five years ago the First dungeon is discovered.

The ones who conquered and closed the Dungeon are the Cultivators, who up until then remain hidden in the face of the world.

They were regarded as heroes but lost their source of power in the end.

Soon after that Dungeons appear all over the world without any warning.

The Dungeons are also classified according to their class from G which is the most common and easiest and S which is rare and hardest to conquer.

The appearance of Dungeon is not only a disaster but also a fortune to many, and the reason for that is inside the Dungeon treasures are common, even the magic crystals and weapons which helps Mage to advance to a higher tier can only be found in there.

So despite the great danger, many Family and adventurers tried their luck in venturing the Dungeon.

***

A Day before the Orientation of the applicants a certain meeting is being held at the Army garrison.

The meeting is only composed of six Generals with their trusted aides.

A meeting of this calibre is rare and only done if a national issue is being discussed

[An Ogre, a B Rank Monster is found and killed outside the Jura Dungeon]

This is the topic and the focus of this meeting.

"Are you sure about this?!"

" Yes!, I confirm it myself"

"Tsk! What a disaster!"

"So?, what do you plan to do now?"

"We can't ignore this anymore!"

"If I remember correctly, the Jura Dungeon is only Class C Dungeon, so how come an Ogre is seen outside it?!"

"Don't tell me it evolved to Class A Dungeon within a short period of time!!?"

Classifying the Class of a Dungeon is done using two methods.

The first one is the old or Traditional method

If C rank monsters are around its vicinity then higher Rank monsters are inside it and that also corresponds to its Dungeon Class.

The second one is more accurate and that is with the used of Magic Tool, which is invented thirty years ago.

Every Dungeon has a certain amount of chaos energy that can be measured using a magic item, high amount of chaos energy means a higher level of dungeon.

The Jura Dungeon is only classified as Class C Dungeon in the past.

but the appearance of a B Rank monsters outside it, means that a more powerful monster replace it inside so it's either became a Class A or higher dungeon.

"I will personally lead this operation, and this time we need to closed that Dungeon"

After some time has passed, the meeting has ended and the plan is formulated.

***

"Are you sure about this General?!"

"Yes, we will focus our manpower in clearing the dungeon and we will only leave few men to depend the border"

"Not that General"

"You mean? Using the applicants?

Of course! We need to use the exam as a reason to make them motivated in hunting monsters.

This will also benefit them in a long run!"

'A real life experience like this is rare'

"Well Yes, It's not like they have to face high rank monsters but…."

"You worry too much! We just need to clear the dungeon as fast as possible"

To Explore a Class A dungeon, a group of Tier Five Mage are required but to conquer it, is a different matter.

In the past many Families and adventures tried to conquer the dungeon but all of them have failed.

***

Time passed and it's already three o'clock .

The Last reminder that the General gave us is that every time we kill monsters don't forget to get their core! It will serve as the proof of them passing.

Three monsters core then you will fast the exam;

And every extra monsters core that you have can be exchange for silvers or weapons.

"So? Who will be the group leader?"

Before they leave the green field they received their consumable magic weapon and also been group into five person.

"Being in a group of Five means we have to hunt fifteen monsters to pass the exam."

Dylan never expected that the exam will be done by group but the most surprising is he being group with James which he already met earlier.

"Let us first introduced ourselves then we can pick the most suitable to be the leader"

"I agree"

"Then let me introduce myself first, I'm Danielle 16 years old and I'm a Tier one earth mage"

'Tsk, a smart looking guy'

"I'm Cody, a body enhancer; I can act as tank for us"

Even without saying that he has body based magic it's obvious on how big body frame is.

"I'm James, a fire mage"

'As cold as ever huh'

"I'm Dylan, a martial artist, a can also used sword"

The moment he finished saying his introduction they looked at him intently as if waiting for him to say something else.

and nice to meet you all"

The looked in their faces became strange that makes it a bit awkward.

'You don't mind James being cold as long as he is mage but now you look at me with disgust'

"Uhhmm.. Ano.. I'm Charlotte a healing mage, you can count on me if ever you're injured"

The awkwardness lessens when a cute girl with a ponytail said her introduction.

"Now, let's vote"

***

With majority vote of three Danielle became the Leader.

"Here is our team formation,

Cody and Dylan will be the vanguard, while me and James at the middle providing support and firepower and lastly Charlotte of course will be assigned as healer at the back"

As of now this is the most effective formation so everyone agreed to it.

"Now for our strategy, we will go deeper to the forest"

"Deeper? Are you sure about that Leader?!"

It seems like Charlotte is afraid diving deeper in the forest.

"Of course!, if we go deeper in the forest the risk in encountering monsters are high, but all of them are low rank around G or H and also if there are many monsters it also means that we can finish early"

"Or does anyone have better suggestion? If not then we must rest and prepare ourselves now"

'His reasoning has some sense in it and everyone accepted it with minimal complains.
