YM778.TV Chapter 36: Survival Test
Previously, while browsing the skill\'s window his eyes lingered on a certain skill but he couldn\'t afford to buy due its ormous price but now he acquired a discount coupon, it would be a waste not to use it.
Finally Noah stopped scrolling upon reaching a certain skill.
[Master of Weapons]
\'It is here.\' Noah was overjoyed.
\'\'System! Can I buy this skill with my discount coupon?"
[Affirmative, master you can buy it but only you make the purchase right now. Only 5 hours remain before the promotion d.]
\'\'I see!" Noah nodded before reading the skill\'s description.
[Master of Weapons
Grade: Unique
You can perfectly wield all existing weapons with a bit of exercise.
Cost: 50.000 Gold Coins
Special discount ding in 5:0:45]
If wer\'t for the special coupon, to be able to buy this skill he would have to work hard, fortunately he got the special discount coupon. Noah didn\'t hesitate to purchase the Master of Weapon\'s skill.
\'\'Purchase!" He ordered after ripping the special gold coupon, his gold coins vanished in instant, leaving him poor again.
Immediately following the skill\'s purchase, a gold light tered Noah\'s head.
\'\'Ugh!"
He groaned as a lot of information was poured into his brain, he saw many weapons being wielded by an illusionary Noah, Spear,Sword, Ax, Bow, Kukri, Lance, scimitar, scythe and so on.
This pain lasted for a momt until a refreshing feeling came.
\'\'Damn!"
Noah cursed while getting back on his feet. He summoned a scythe to do a test, at first it felt foreign but after a few swings, the scythe felt like as if he had be using it for a long time already. He was certain with time he could bring the scythe\'s essce out, just imagining being able to perfectly use every existing weapon put a smile on Noah\'s face.
Leaving aside the matter of efficicy for having this skill, Noah\'s second goal for buying this skill was simply because it could help him perfect his disguise, differt weapons for differt situations.
\'\'Let\'s do some morning workouts to get in form.\'\' Noah\'s eyes shone dazzlingly, the next opportunity to make some gold coins is here, he couldn\'t control his excitemt, besides competing against his peers wasn\'t something he couldn\'t say no to.
°°°°°°
A brilliant light hugged the land as the sun stretched out with gold arms, announcing the arrival of a new day.
Noah and the other studts of special classroom were in their classroom waiting for their teacher arrival. Noah was in good mood as he couldn\'t wait to earn some gold coins.
Shortly later Ela arrived.
\'\'Good morning class. I have promised you previously that today we will be doing practical combat class, unfortunately this changed.\'\' Ela threw a bomb.
\'\'What?" Noah almost jumped on his feets. He couldn\'t believe what he just heard, he was beyond shocked but he managed to reign in his emotions. They must be a reason he believes so, therefore he must first list before reacting.
And Noah wasn\'t the only one shocked by their practical combat class getting canceled.
Raising his hand and getting Ela\'s approval, Arthur asked.
\'\'Teacher, may I know why this got canceled?"
Ela smiled but first took a seat and th started her explanation.
\'\'Normally, we should have started the practical combat class but because you\'re too exceptional, it put pressure on the other studts and awaked faster than scheduled. Now every studt have awaked their class and it was decided to create a Survival Test for everyone. This is to test your limit and see your adaptability.\'\'
At the same time the system\'s voice rang, as if she had be waiting for this.
[Ding! New mission: Survive the test with the most points.
Reward: 5000 Gold coins and a random item.]
Instead of jumping in joy, Noah was calm. Hr was not a fool, judging by how gerous the system seemed it doesn\'t take a gius to guess this Survival test would not be simple.
The studts looked curiously at each other and smiled, this would be fun they believed.
Ela smiled upon seeing this.
\'\'Let\'s go!"
She took her studts towards the teleportation portal.
°°°
The survival training g is called training, but it\'s more akin to thorough actual combat. It was being held on an island which belong to the academy.
Moreover, it\'s an extreme real combat training that utilizes the whole area, taking advantage of the island vast land.
First and foremost, the basis of this test is survival. Scores are giv differtially according to survival time, so ev if you survive without being eliminated until the last day, you can earn a fairly dect score.
Survive for 5 nights and 6 days.
It may sound very easy, but it is by no means simple.
First of all, except for the initial food supply (only last a day at best), all participants in this survival test must be self-sufficit. Furthermore, all sorts of equipmt, including accessories, are not provided.
"I never thought they wouldn\'t ev give us training weapons." Noah murmured and finally understand why the system was so gerous.
In other words, one must dure 5 nights and 6 days with nothing but their bare body.
But that was not all.
This survival test includes "plundering."
Each studt wore a smart bracelet with their idtification number on their chest, and if this bracelet was stol or lost, they would be eliminated from the test.
And additional points are giv to the studt who "plunders" this smart bracelet.
In other words, the studts are emies of each other.
Because of this, forming an alliance is impossible without substantial trust. To put it bluntly, you might be betrayed ev after forming an alliance.
Why not just team up with close frids who have no possibility of betrayal?
Nope. That\'s not it.
This test is not so easygoing.
In this survival test, there are studts assigned the role of "Criminals."
These criminals cannot earn points through survival or any other additional factors, but can only obtain points through "plundering."
And the points acquired are a whopping double!
So, the studts assigned the role of these criminals must hunt others if they want to survive themselves. It\'s unavoidable.
Of course, the studts who takes down a criminals also receives double the points.
This existce known as the criminals, creates suspicion and mistrust ev among close frids.
Moreover, out of 400, a staggering 50 are criminals.
The odds are such that it\'s impossible to cooperate without reservation.
