Chapter 51: Bloody Trap
This announcement triggers an uproar among the crowd. They can kill other participants and acquire their points. Does that mean students from the same schools could kill themselves to acquire points. Meaning that instead of watching out for their adversary, they would have to split their attention to watch out for their classmates, in case they stab them in the back.
Trap! This was a bloody trap for the students!
Xue Yiran lips inadvertently curl up, showing an amusing smile. Seems like she had really made a good choice to attend the interschool competition. Unlike the virtual net where you fight brutally with your skills, the interschool competition seems to take in consideration the behavior of human in any situation.
Any rational person could detect that this was a trap set by the upper authority. However, it all depends on them to jump into it or not.
Vice president Edward knew this might cause a slight disturbance among the contestants, but he still went on with his speech. At the end of the speech, the participants of the event from each school were called out and were handed out a golden seal.
The seal was meant to protect themselves in the simulation world. As a result, if anyone were killed in the simulation world, they would be teleported to the outside world without sustaining any injuries. The golden seal serves as a passage way to their safety.
Once all the students finished putting on the golden Seal, Vice-Principal Edward opened his mouth again. His impassioned utterances once again traveled into everyone's ears.
"I now declare that the free-for-all battle has officially begun! I'll now activate the simulation formation. Soon, every student will be teleported to the simulation world. Your arrival site will be randomly selected. Now, please take your time to enjoy this splendid event!"
After he finished speaking, all contestants were swallowed by a white curtain of light. Soon their whole body disappeared under everyone's gaze.
A large holographic screen appeared in everyone's view showing each participant in their respective location. Everyone one was guard, as they were afraid to be ambush by any enemy.
Still, that doesn't detach their fate of being attacked by the simulation beast. Soon, attack rang out from all directions.
Ian was also seated among the audience. Since he had agreed to his mentor Amos, to not participate in the interschool competition, Ian could only be added to the substitute group.
His eyes were staring at a figure on the screen. It was Colton. Unlike him, Colton was participating in the competition. From Colton current achievement points, it seems like he hadn't slack off with his training. His name was on the third of the ranking list. Both top one to five were all taken by the Roland academy students.
It might look fabulous, but one could see that those behind them were starting to catch up. Those from the lower academy were starting to get disqualify one by one due to their low physical strength.
Seeing that the students were all focusing on killing the simulation beast, the judges breathe a sigh of relief. For what they had reckon to happen didn't take place. Looks like the student's heart are still pure, and aren't exposed to the reality of life.
However, they were bound to be wrong as the clock ticks by. Two hours has passed by. Susu was yawning in boredom inside Xue Yiran's consciousness.
[Watching this really makes me sick. Can't they see the flaws of the monster. Everyone's know the rock lizard speed is nothing to talk about. Instead of jumping in its view, they should have approached from behind and attack it.] As a walking encyclopedia, Susu could see the beast weakness at a glance. And the fact that the simulation beast that was projected was weaker than a normal beast, really makes him want to scold the students who were being killed by the simulation.
[I can't look any longer. Oh, my heart. This is so devastating. I don't think any of these contestants would be able to survive by themselves if they were dispatch in the wilds.]
Despite Susu complains, the judges appeared happy, nodding their head, as they watch the participants performance with a satisfied smile on their face.
Xue Yiran kind of agreed with Susu remark, but there was still quite an exception of people who were performing well. For example, Louie. The young guy's name was sitting in the rank of 489th.
With such a low rank, one would have ignored such an individual. No, he was truly ignored by everyone apart from Xue Yiran. The others were all focusing on the top ten on the list, unable to noticed the strange occurrence that was happening downward below.
From Xue Yiran's observation, she could see Louie walking around the simulation world as if it was his backyard. Whenever a beast attacked him, instead of killing it, the other person would instead kick away the beast far away, not rendering any injuries to its body.
Seeing that its opponent was gone, the beast would then switch his target to someone else. Maybe noticing that his rank was starting to fall low, Louie would pick on pace and kill several beasts.
However, Xue Yiran could indeed see that he was trying to hide his strength. Her pupil constricted sharply. Although she knew Louie was a dangerous guy, Xue Yiran couldn't still fathom how deeply his strength is.
'Well, it's better I don't relate with him'.
Soon, the competition was starting to near its end. Just thirty minutes, everyone was starting to feel the tension of the competition. The top one to ten on the ranking list, have all been occupied by Roland academy.
"Fuck." Alec cursed seeing his name dropped to rank eleven.
'I can't lose. I've trained so hard for this day. I can't let myself be overtaken by these Roland trash. Damn them'.
"I don't care. I'm going to do it." Having made up his mind, Alec hurriedly rushed into the distance. Soon, he heard a loud commotion going to his south. He immediately dashed towards there.
On getting there, he saw a girl from other academy, who was busy struggling to fend off a beast. Foreseeing that she was about to lose, Alec immediately jumped in, and slashed the incoming beast into two. The beast spurt into a white particle and disappeared into the air.
Having escaping an encounter of being disqualified, the young girl was very happy.
"Thanks so much. Thanks for saving my life." She immediately bowed in gratitude towards Alec, showing how grateful she was.
A strange smile appeared on Alec face which wasn't noticed by the girl.
"You don't have to thank me. That's because you'll be repaying me sooner."
"Huh." The girl raised her body up and looked at Alec with a confused expression. But before she could say anything, a white ray came down upon her. All that she could see was blackness before she suddenly finds herself amidst of other disqualified participants.
"Huh. How did I get here? Didn't I..." Her whole body suddenly went cold when she thought of what had just happened some minutes ago.
