339 The hunting game Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
After the open challenge where few students from all the academies challenged each other to test the strength and skills of top competition without revealing too much of their own strength and skills, the tense atmosphere calmed down a little.
No one wanted to reveal too much of their skills by showing off in a battle just before the main tournament began. Not to mention the opponent could also refuse the challenge if he didn't feel like fighting.
Obviously Rio was very happy to comply with all the requests. Beating the crap out of dumbasses who thought it'd be wise to challenge him and see what he can do, was good for his health, after all.
As for spending his mana or showing his skills before the match up and all the other primitive stuff, it didn't bother him. He was confident he could beat all the students his class year easily after all.
Not to mention mentally scarring these children and leaving a shadow of a mountain, kinda freshens up his mood a little. After all, hurting their ego in front of such a large crowd in a one-sided crushing is always a year long trauma for these young arrogant idiots.
"Silence." Professor Maleatus, the guy whose disciple offed himself, floated in the air, and gave a command.
His raspy voice amplified by mana echoed in the empty forest they were in and drowned all the chatter of every student.
"I'm sure everyone already knows how important this event is for you all. Not just to show your skills and prove to everyone about what you learned in this one year, but also to get the chance of entering the Ascendant Tower."
As the professor mentioned the tower , the crowd of students erupted into loud cheers and happy discussions amongst themselves. Their faces flourishing with their hopes and dreams to enter the tower and rise beyond their peers and leave their names in the history of world association.
Ignoring the loud cheering, professor Maleatus amplified his voice even more and continued his speech.
"Out of more than 10000 students who get enrolled at our academies every year, only the top 100 of them get the chance to enter the trial grounds of Tower.
And any one of you, who's here at this time, representing your academies, can be one of them."
"But to reach the dungeon test which would decide the top 100, you all would have to go through one final challenge." Professor said, looking at the groups of top 250 students from each academy sitting in front of him.
"You've all studied hard, trained harder and proved yourself by reaching here, but now, this round we have to shorten the numbers even more.
Out of 1250 of you from everywhere, only 500 students can enter the dungeon exam.
The hunt - The culling - The root out... whatever you call it, is here.
So be sure to check your prey before jumping into a fight, or you might end up wasting your energy and not score anything.}
Point distribution scale
-– F rank monster - 1 point
E rank monster - 10 points
D rank monster - 50 points

(The one who lands the final blow is the one who gets the points.)
Other than the killings, finding the various herbs listed in the next image can be exchanged for points too.
The forest here has been affected by a spatial crack opened 10 years ago. And the creatures and plants inside have been constantly going through mutation ever since then. Find the source of these changes and solve the trouble.
— 10000 points
Fighting and stealing between students is allowed. But kill points once obtained cannot be transferred to anyone in any case.
The match would go on until only 500 students remained, or someone solved the final challenge.
There are mystery elements, traps, treasures and surprises in the forest too. So always be on your guard.
...
'Man, they really forgot to mention they threw in the death penalty criminals caught by world association inside the forests to die too huh. Promising freedom in return for how many students they eliminate.' Rio said in his heart and added "Along with the fact that you will be without any potions, any artifacts and other defensive measures of the academy too." He said to himself and smiled in his heart over why these old office guys liked surprising children so much.
'But that's only better, I got a surprise of my own too.' Rio thought and looked at the bright sun in the sky. 'Eclipse is coming.'
