Chapter 338



[Also, you have those two to worry about, cause I could swear on my main consciousness that they are planning something.] The system referred to Serhan and his cohorts.

‘Our formation and abilities have greatly limited their options. At this point, the best they can do is to copy our actions yesterday and try to kill steal.’ Blake said.

[Do you have a countermeasure for that?] The system asked, but Blake only replied with a smirk.

...

By noon, the area outside the city barrier was occupied by close to 400 beasts, but the problem was that more were still arriving.

“This is the same number the volunteers had faced in their first training.” Brian said in a worried tone, but Blake and Luciano were worried about something different.

.....

“You don’t have to worry, more beasts means more points for us.” Castiel stated, receiving nods from Blake and Luciano that just snapped out of their reverie.

“Note that you are not being forced to farm points. So if you feel your team won’t be safe because of the number of beasts or whatsoever. You are more than free to stay back and watch the rest.” Major Reeves announced to the students when he saw the worry on their faces as more beasts arrived at the city barrier.

Just as he had expected, no team planned on backing down on such an opportunity. So he sent them alongside their supervisors to the elevators.

‘If it was someone else that had said that, people would have considered, but Major Reeves’ discouragement is more like a motivator.’ Brian said through the mind link.

‘It is funny how Major Reeves changed from trying to kill us to discouraging us from trying to get killed.’ Castiel mind-chuckled as he retained a stoic expression on the outside.

‘Hold up, wait a minute.’ Blake paused as he tried to piece things together.

There was one thing he had gotten to know about psychos like Instructor Zirrack and Major Reeves. They were incapable of showing mercy out of the blues. Their cold hearts were incapable of even flinching even when they gave the most ruthless punishments to students.

So why would they change all of a sudden?

‘Or is he using reverse psychology on a deeper level?’ Blake pondered.

Although, it was hard to not mistake Instructor Zirrack and Major Reeves as brothers. Blake had noticed that Major Reeves wasn’t as straightforward and hotheaded as instructor Zirrack. Instead, he had sacrificed some of his straightforwardness for being sly.

[He sounds as if he is discouraging you guys, but we both know that was the opposite.] The system couldn’t help but pause and face-palm when he remembered how easily everyone fell for it.

[As for the deeper level of reverse psychology. You should keep in mind that he knows not all of you are dumb. So it would either mean something is up or he is trying to toil with your minds, or it could be both.]

‘At this point, the only thing I can do is just wait and watch how the thing goes.’ Blake said after failing to predict the most plausible outcome because there were too many uncertain factors.

When Blake’s team took their position behind the barrier, 2 teams they were very familiar with decided to stay beside them.

[I haven’t really understood their stupidity yet. How many points your team gets isn’t related to theirs. So why not focus on beating other teams in your class?] The system facepalmed.

Normally it wouldn’t give a shit about people being stupid. It was greatly disappointed that 2nd year’s rank one would continue with such stupidity.

Once every team had taken their positions, part of the orange city barrier was lowered and beasts began pouring in.

Not planning on giving Blake’s team any chance at all. Both teams rushed in front of Blake’s team and began intercepting the beasts, allowing none to pass through.

‘I didn’t even need to think to predict them.’ Blake chuckled as he was unbothered by their action.

“Tessie prepare Mother Tree. Brian, we need quicksand at the outskirts of Mother Tree’s range.” Blake gave out others, before gesturing for Luciano to active the elemental cannon battle array.

“Are you planning on shooting them?” Castiel couldn’t help but ask with a raised brow, as he nonetheless joined to support the array.

“Yes of course...” Blake said as he joined to support the array.

“Wouldn’t that disqualify us?” Castiel began wondering if Blake had gone crazy and couldn’t hear himself.

“Not at all...” Blake said with a smile as the white runes floating in front of them turned golden.

Elemental cannon: Flame burst!

A large ball of golden flames conjured at the center of the array was shot in the direction of the 2 teams in front of them.

“I would have really loved to make them suffer more, but seems they decided to make the job easier.” The 2nd year team leader said as he saw the large ball of golden flame hurling toward them.

‘That was too easy... Wait a minute.’ For a moment Serhan had thought they had accomplished their mission, but that was when he remembered something.

He didn’t know about Blake, but one thing was sure, Luciano couldn’t be this stupid.

‘What is going on, why are they not moving?’ Serhan couldn’t help but ask when he saw the supervisors weren’t moving to save them.

“Get out of the way!” Serhan screamed at the top of his lungs as he concentrated the effects of lightning reinforcement to his feet and dashed out of the way.

On hearing Serhan’s words, the students began scrambling to get out of the way, but unfortunately, not everyone was fast enough or had reacted on time.

BOOM!

The explosion from the large ball of golden flames caught 2 of the other 2nd year team, while a member of Serhan’s team was caught by the shockwave.

When part of the smoke had settled, the 2nd year students caught in the explosion were seen unconscious on the ground. They had suffered severe burns from the scorching flame, internal bleeding, and multiple bone fractures from the explosions.

As for Serhan’s teammate, he had managed to use body enhancement at the last moment to reduce the damage to a few broken bones, but one thing for sure was that he wasn’t in a condition to continue fighting.

‘Holy fuck!’ Castiel, Brian, and Tessie were shocked by the damage, but when they turned to the supervisors they were even more shocked because they still had indifferent expressions on their faces and weren’t moving.
