Chapter 407
Blake immediately checked their info with the system, only to find out that nothing had changed.
[Name: Haiti and Skoll
Grade: Peak Knight rank
Metamorphosis: Ebony and Ivory transform into Haiti and Skoll.
Ruler’s will: Once in Haiti and Skoll form they suppress every beast below the knight rank within a 15-meter range.
Binding chains: Haiti and Skoll produce energy chains that constrict and drain vitality.]
.....
“Still knight rank?” Blake asked in a disappointed tone.
Since they were both at the peak Knight rank before the fusion, he was expecting the fusion to push them into the King rank, but they were just stronger and faster.
Owoo!
Ebony and Ivory let out a sad howl when they saw the disappointed look on their face.
This made Blake realize that he was asking for too much. The difference between the knight and King rank was colossal, that king rank beasts could solo an army of knight rank beasts.
“I am sorry for not being content, I love you guys the way you are.” Blake said as he rubbed his head on that of the 2-meter tall wolf.
[Why do I feel you always wanted pets?] The system couldn’t help but ask after seeing the amount of affection Blake was giving to the wolves he met a few minutes ago.
“Yes I had always wanted pets, but we were finding it quite difficult to sustain ourselves talk more of a pet.” Blake said.
“Talking about sustenance, do I need to feed them?” Blake asked out of curiosity.
[I don’t know?] The system said.
“I can sacrifice 2 beast cores.” Blake said as he brought out two elite rank beast cores from his pocket dimension and brought it close to Ebony and Ivory.
Awoo!
The 2-meter tall energy wolf howled in joy as it ate the beast cores in one go.
Once inside its mouth, the elite rank beast cores instantly dissolved and got absorbed, causing their red and black color to glow.
“Is that what I think it is?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.
The color glow and the tail wagging made Blake feel Ebony and ivory feel they were just happy because of the treat, but he thought it improved their strength.
[Since they are still technically beasts, eating beast cores should improve their strength and evolve.] The system said.
“I guess there is only one way to find out.” Blake said as he looked into the face of Ebony and Ivory and asked “Does beast cores improve your strength?”
Awoo!
Ebony and Ivory howled, communicating that he was correct.
“That’s great news!” Blake screamed in joy because although it would cost him a lot of beast cores this meant they would get stronger and unlock more cool abilities.
After confirming his beast cores were not going to waste, Blake fed Ebony and Ivory 10 more elite-rank beast cores.
Since they were done with the testing, Blake made them revert to their Haiti and Skoll forms and began petting them as promised.
...
2 weeks later.
The 12 weeks of the 3rd semester were over and it was time for the final exams of the last semester of the session.
The rankings hadn’t changed since the 10th week, and everyone except for Blake was still at the peak of the champion realm.
As always, the students had made preparations for any and every possible situation the school could bring at them.
Once all the students had settled down, a warp gate opened as Professor Gibson, Instructor Zirrack and Principal Lovren walked out.
‘Look who we have here.’ Blake suspected that even though Professor Gibson was in charge, the exam wouldn’t be as easy as the tests. So Lovren making an appearance to make the announcement just confirmed his suspicions.
Almost all the students in the hall had the same thought as Blake, but unlike him who was calm, they were afraid.
This was because all of the exams and some of the tests carried out under his supervision had taken the life of at least 1 student.
“What a nice way to welcome me back.” Principal Lovren said to the hall filled with murmurs as he adjusted his monocle.
‘Truth be told, Lovren isn’t bad, as a matter of fact, he is the reason we were able to match up to 2nd-year students. if Professor Gibson had been the one in charge of all our exams and test, many of us would have been too soft.’
‘The only problem I have are his methods, but if I was to be in his shoes I wouldn’t be able to do better.’ Blake thought.
“To not waste any of our time I would go straight into the explanation for the exam.” Principal Lovren said causing the entire hall to turn silent.
“This would be a capture the flag exam. Each team would have a unique flag color that would be randomly selected location and can only be moved by spending 10k points from the exam.”
“The aim of the exam is to farm as many points from the beasts in the location while defending your flag from both beasts and students from the opponent team.”
“Killing an opponent would deduct 5k points from them, and would respawn them at their flag with all their mana and injuries healed. So to permanently eliminate an opponent or team you have to destroy their flag and then kill them.” Principal Lovren explained.
The point system for killing beasts was as follows: Magic beast 0, chief rank 100 points, elite rank 250 points, Knight rank 1k points, King rank 10k points.
As for points for eliminating opponents, killing an enemy gave 2k points while destroying the flag granted 5k points.
