Chapter 41 - The Second Stage (6)

"Hmm… I must say that he is also an interesting student. Furthermore, he possesses great potential. He will undoubtedly become a powerful warrior in the future if he is properly guided."

Randy responded after hearing the Principal's explanation. The Principal of Base City School did not conceal anything and revealed all information about Sam.

Randy was very curious after hearing all of this. But he is not thinking about Sam's rise to power over the last three months.

This is not uncommon, given Sam's high potential. If given enough resources, he has the potential to become powerful in a short period of time.

However, he required proper guidance. He also needed accurate information about the resources available to assist him.

This is what sparked Randy's interest in Sam.

The principal, on the other hand, was very curious as to why Randy became interested in Sam.

In comparison to Sam, there are more prodigies. Even though the principal is surprised to learn about Sam's potential, many other students have high potential.

Why did Randy become so interested in Sam?

The Principal was considering this question. However, he did not ask Randy that question.

Sam, on the other hand, was unaware that Randy had developed an interest in him. He is currently utilizing the energy recovery technique.

During that time, he uses full-power observation techniques to ensure that no enemies are present. Fortunately, he has not found any enemies near him, which is a good thing.

Three hours later, Sam had recovered his lost spiritual energy and went deep inside the danger zone. He wanted to find the intermediate Mortal Grade monsters.

He also interacted with other students. However, none of them play important roles in the story. He decided to ignore them and continue his advance into the danger zone.

During that time, he discovered other resources, some of which are extremely valuable. He was also on the hunt for Beginner Mortal Grade monsters. Sam's point total is gradually increasing.

 **************

3 days later, 

A person wearing full body armor is currently fighting a group of frog Monsters. A large lake can be found not far from that location.

That person uses the movement technique to avoid the Monsters' attacks. These monsters are poisonous.

They are capable of releasing poisonous gas from their bodies. Aside from that, they can jump extremely high and use their tongues as weapons.

The Monsters are grey in colour, with brown bubbles around their bodies. These bubbles have the potential to emit poisonous gas into the surrounding area.

Those Monsters have sharp, powerful tongues. It also contains poison. Currently, all of those monsters are attempting to kill that person with their tongues and poisonous gas.

As you might expect, Sam is fighting the poisonous frog monsters. When Sam arrived at the location, he was attacked by the frog monsters.

Those Monsters prefer to stay near water. So approaching a lake like this could be dangerous if you are not cautious.

Sam immediately applies the movement technique to disappear from his previous location. One monster has already approached him and attempted to attack him from a close distance.

Fortunately, the Monster did not release poisonous gas around him. Sam took advantage of this by approaching the Monster from behind and attacking him right away.

He combines the Fast Slash and Shadow Slash techniques. In less than a second, he had attacked the monster five times. The monster in front of him had no time to react.

Sam had already disappeared from that location after using the shadow movement technique.

In the next second, the monster's body begins to crumble. This already draws the attention of the other Monsters, who immediately emit poisonous gas around them.

They appear to be aware of the danger and have taken this precaution to protect themselves. Sam had already retreated from that location after becoming aware of the situation.

Sam did not want to be affected by the poisonous gas. Furthermore, the monster he was fighting was approximately level 31. This makes it clear how dangerous they are.

Sam had already ventured deep into the danger zone, where he encountered those intermediate Mortal Grade monsters. Those frog monsters are also among them.

Keeping the poisonous gas around them, the Monsters are looking for Sam. But Sam had already moved out of the Monsters' observation range.

He wanted the monsters to relax before attacking them again. As expected, those Monsters assumed he had already left that place.

The poisonous gas that surrounds them gradually disappears. But none of the Monsters are aware that Sam is waiting for this moment.

He waited one more minute before taking action against the monsters. Using the shadow movement technique, he appeared behind those monsters.

Without wasting any time, he applied both sword techniques simultaneously. He continues to attack those Monsters.

Everything happened so quickly that the five monsters did not have time to realize what had happened. When they discovered the enemy, two of them had already been killed.

He injures the remaining three Monsters as well. But those Monsters had already created a poisonous layer around them and began attacking him.

 After a while, 

After killing the final Monster, Sam was able to relax. When a Monster evolves into an intermediate Mortal Grade monster, it acquires a Monster core.

Monster cores are valuable, and they allow you to earn more points. So he removed those monster cores.

'I should take my time regaining the lost spiritual energy. The surrounding area had already become dark. The situation will become more difficult from here on out, and I must exercise extreme caution.'

If you look around, you can see the surrounding light beginning to fade. Because Monsters become more powerful at night, he must exercise extreme caution when dealing with them.

Moments later, after regaining his spiritual energy, he decided to search for Monsters. It was already nighttime, so he took extra precautions when searching for those Monsters.

He had barely made any progress when he abruptly stopped and quickly concealed himself. He hears explosions not far from there.

There is a chance that people are fighting monsters in front of him. Sam decided to look into what was happening.
