Chapter 33: Third Day: Hunting Test And Terrorist Attack

"Well to summarize this all once we arrive at the venue you will jump with your parachute. Hunt and get points and keep yourselves safe nothing more is important than your life in this situation. There's always next year. Except for those taking it for the fifth time as this is their last."

After saying that few of the examinees have grim looks on their faces. Meaning they might already be at their fifth or are approaching it.

"And remember the top 100 examinees will have their performance shown live to the audience so be mindful of your actions. And for the top ten, they will be the ones joining the tournament even for the final exam got it?"

"Sir, yes sir,"

"Good."

The last reminder made the students tense up and at the same time hopeful knowing that once they performed well it didn't matter what their rank was.

Because they would get recruited by high-ranking schools as long as those schools found their performance appealing.

Then thirty minutes later, they arrived at the place, and with his signal, all the students jumped down and landed on the ground.

But not it was not all great for most examinees because some landed off course some landed in the same area while there were those who hung on a tree only a few landed the right way.

As for Jayven, he was stuck on a tree.

"Damn, I guess this is what will happen to those who are doing this for the first time."

Although complaining Jayven cut the rope and landed safely on the ground.

"For now, let's scout the area."

The first thing Jayven thought as he landed was to stop and familiarize himself with the terrain of the place.

The reason for this is to adapt to the current environment so that he will have more advantage in hunting against the monsters in an unfamiliar area.

After hunting early would just hinder his progress. So, he will hunt monsters around his area once he familiarizes himself with the place.

~~~~~~~Spectators Seat in the Stadium~~~~~~~~

The Ranking is not yet shown since it was still the start of the test and the scores are still being tallied while some of the examinees were still tied to each other.

"Oh, he is doing Reconnaissance first? That's good, I guess he wants to take advantage of the terrain. We'll just see what he will do next."

Chris looked at the screen as the examinees were being exposed to the world. And unlike Jayven most hunted and worked together.

Not long after half an hour had passed and all hunted with at least ten two digits in their belt.

"Looks like that kid is going to fail."

"Which one?

"Who else? It's that impurity."

"Oh, your right I hope he gets kicked out fast I heard others could eliminate each other in here."

"I hope so to-."

"Wha-!"

"What was that?"

"I don't know."

Hearing them badmouthing Jayven Chris scared them shitless, stopping their conversation.

"Tch even after many years had passed, discrimination against them is still this bad. No wonder the boss doesn't want to work here for long."

As she was grumbling to herself a sudden commotion occurred.

"Nooo!"

"I need to leave!"

"Those bastards!"

"Huh?"

"What happened?"

"It seems like an explosion at the XX District."

"There too? An explosion also happened in our district as well. Good thing it was far from my apartment."

"Look it was those terrorist groups again."

"When will they ever learn?"

"I see so they are attacking right now huh?" Chris then stood from her seat getting ready to go and help on the scene. But only to be interrupted by a sudden comment.

"So, they're at it again those madmen."

"After so many years those terrorists started to attack, what a brute bunch indeed."

"Isn't that kid part of them?"

"You are right it can be seen from his distinct eye color."

"I hope he fails miserably and does not become a hunter forever."

"I hope so-."

"Stop slandering other people!"

Not being able to bear other people's slandering Jayven Chris reprimanded them.

"I don't know what they did to you but please keep the kid out of there as well as those who weren't actively involved in this. You don't know them Also those people who you called impure are not all bad. for there are also heroes who saved us from danger."

Hearing that all went quiet and wasn't able to fight back since what she said was also true.

Seeing them quiet Chris left the place and arrived at the scene.

"So, the Demon Activists are at it again. To think they would attack at this time there's got to be a reason."

And there she moved fast assisting the officials in fighting against the terrorist group called the Demon Activists.

Currently, the main cause of the explosion was the terrorist group and most of the hunters in the city joined forces to stop them.

And along the way Chris also lets herself get involved as she helps those in need. As well as looking at interrogating the criminals for the reason for their attacks.

After Catching a few terrorists Chris stopped for a moment as he handed them over to the officials.

"I need to tell Klein about this." She then started to contact Jayven's master thinking he might not know what was currently happening.

But what happened left her speechless as she couldn't get through. What's going on? I can't get through to him.

No matter what she did she couldn't get in touch so in the end she gave up hoping that he was doing fine.

"Please be safe Klein, because if you're not I will drag you out in hell if I must."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours ago, before the terrorist attack, Chris and Kein had a short conversation.

"Did you see the videos? The Jayven finished all the tasks with flying colors."

"Yeah, he is one crazy kid. And If I'm not wrong his stats are already at the peak of the mana intent stage

"That's what I think so as well but."

"Yes, he is still at the mana user stage. But don't worry this is good he has a big chance to join the top ten in the exam. if not, he could possibly reach the top."

"Did you forget that kid is also there?"

"No of course I didn't-." With a sudden pause, he faced a certain direction.

"I think they are here. I waited for a long time I guess they lost their patience before I did."

"Stop Joking around and take caution. Anyway, just give me a call if there is anything wrong."

"Sure, you as well keep a watch out there. I still can't get this weird feeling out"

"Okay, I will."

"Also, give him that device to him."

"Oh, that's no problem. But what if he says he wants to pass on the reward?"

"Just make some excuse for me."

"Huh? That's unreasonable."

"Thanks bye."

"Hey-."

As he ended the call the whole place was covered in a dark veil.

"Oh no, she will nag at me again for not keeping in contact. To think they will cover this whole place with an isolation domain. These bastards came prepared."

Not long after a group of people came down. And dark clothing covering them they surrounded Him.

"So, is there anything I could do for you folks?"

"Nothing you will just need to become our sacrifice that's all."

"Oh, is that so? Then you can try if you'd like."

"Let's see how long you can stay calm after this. Begin the ritual."

They then started activating enchantments and saying indescribable words of unknown origin. but he just stood there waiting for the moment to pass.

What happened next was the release of a very strong surge of mana which opened a portal releasing a monster with a vile energy that will give chills to anyone who sees it.

But to Klein, the energy surrounding the monster didn't make him feel a thing he just stood there and felt like he was watching a live performance.

"I see a Mid-Rank Demon, huh? I thought You guys would summon something stronger.

{YOu HUmAN WhAt IS YoUr ATtItude To tHis grEAt BEinG.}

After Klein spoke those words with clear disappointment. The proud demon responded in a threatening tone towards him.

"What's wrong with saying the truth anyway this will be over in a synch so why not come at men?"

{IMbecile DiE!}

Angered by his attitude he let off a great war cry as he jumped to attack him.

But that didn't last long because what followed was silence, and the demon standing still not moving an inch then it slowly faded to nothing.

"…."

No one was able to say a thing as the monster vanished dying by his hands. But later they stop being stunned and look at Klein with great fear.
