Chapter 300: [Bonus Chapter]Final Examination
Chapter 300: [Bonus Chapter]Final Examination
“Hmm… Like I thought. This fire could slightly hurt me.” said Jayna.
After Jayna is merged with the Fire Phoenix and receives the ancient power of Hellfire, she is practically immune to any fire. Even Mia’s blue phoenix fire couldn’t slightly hurt her at all.
“Hurt you?” asked Angus.
“Yeah, though it only slightly hurt me. It feels like getting pricked by a needle or bitten by a harmless bug. Still, it could hurt me.” said Jayna.
Hearing Jayna’s explanation, Angus couldn’t help but be surprised. He knows how excellent Jayna’s immunity is towards the fire. If this natural fire could even slightly hurt her, that means other fire-resistant beings may get burned by it.
Thinking about this makes Angus couldn’t help but feel his hard work during these last few months is not futile. He feels his decision to train in natural fire is right. After that, Angus began to explore more about natural fire manipulation and its spells.
However, he didn’t get too many results besides that it is more difficult to control. Even with the help of Jayna, he could only find that higher circle spells could penetrate more of Jayna’s fire resistance than low circle spells.
Despite manipulating natural fire to this degree, Angus is far from a master Firecast like his own fire mana. Firecast skill uses the leftover fire elemental in the air to instacast another fire spell.
Usually, people use their leftover fire mana in the air rather than natural fire mana like Duke Jacob did. However, Angus starts to tap the basic manipulation of a natural fire elemental. He feels with constant practice, he could also do the true Firecast with natural fire elemental.
While he keeps practicing his Firecast, the final examination of the end of the term has finally come. This is the last examination they will have before doing their graduation mission. For their final examination, they once again will go towards the dungeon.
Unlike before, the royal academy decided to use an explored dungeon, unlike Deep Hollow Dungeon. The dungeon is called Greenever Dungeon. It is a dungeon located at the Shill mountain. The dungeon is famous for spawning plantations and insectoid monsters.
Despite being a fully explored dungeon, Greenever Dungeon is also dangerous, like Deep Hollow. According to their difficulty, Greenever dungeon is for second-grade to fifth-grade combatants, while Deep Hollow is for first-grade to fifth-grade combatants.
However, Deep Hollow dungeon is divided into many floors, which are safer, while Greenever Dungeon only consists of one massive forest. It really depends on luck whether they find a first-grade monster or a third-grade monster.
Some adventurers even said there are fourth-grade monsters deep inside the forest near the core dungeon. Therefore, despite it being a fully explored dungeon, it is also one of the dangerous dungeons.
They chose the Greenever dungeon this time because it is already fully explored and has less uncertainty than the Deep Hollow dungeon lower floor. Since they are also going with the guide, there is less chance they will meet high-grade monsters.
Learning from their previous mistake, the academy is going full force and sending their strongest teacher and expert to accompany Angus’s special class.
In total, five people consisting of teachers and experts of the royal academy will follow them along with Vice Principal Ellen. A week before the final examination day, Angus and his group depart from the royal academy to Greenhill City.
Greenhill city is located in Shill Mountain. Like Savan City, Greenhill is also a flourishing city. It is also one of the famous tourist spots for vacation in the Heart Kingdom.
Their cool and refreshing air, along with the excellent mountain view, make everyone want to stay there for relaxation.
If it is not because of the danger of a monster outbreak from the Greenever Dungeon, this city will become number one of the most favorite tourist spots in the Heart Kingdom.
Still, this is an excellent place for the wealthy and influential people to relax, especially Heart Kingdom’s nobility. Furthermore, Greenhill city is under the jurisdiction and territory of Duke Crestflare of the Heart Kingdom.
Although Duke Crestflare is quite an old sixth-grade warrior, he managed his territory properly, especially about the Greenever dungeon matter. Monster outbreaks could be predicted these days, especially for the explored dungeons like Greenever.
If the outbreak still happens and causes a lot of destruction, it means all the blame will fall to Duke Crestflare. Dozen years ago, there was a Marquis that made this mistake under his territory.
At that moment, King Leon didn’t say anything but immediately killed the marquis on the spot. This may seem quite tyrannical, but thousands of people were massacred because of Marquis’ negligence, and a big flourishing city was completely destroyed.
This incident also serves as a warning for other high nobles with dungeons in their territory. Since that incident, all the high nobles have taken great care in maintaining the dungeon.
Soon, Angus and the others arrive at Greenhill city without any obstacle after a week of the journey. With the escort of a royal academy guard and five teachers, none of the local bandits dare to mess with them.
Just looking at their high-class carriage and group, it is already deterring any local and small bandit. Furthermore, all the royal academy guards are full-fledged grade three warriors.
Arriving at Greenhill city, everyone could feel the fresh air and see the wonderful mountain range view.
“Woahh.. This is really a great place to take a vacation.” said Axel.
“Hmm… It is great, but I think Porros city is still better.” said Millie.
“Yeah, agree.” replied the others.
“Boo… Don’t ruin the mood. It is only you guys that have been to that Porros city.” chimed Axel.
“Just say it if you are jealous. Maybe in the next hundred years, you could try to visit Porros in that dimension.” said Mia.
“No way!! Even if I could, there is no way I am going back to that hell.” said Axel.
‘Said someone who is the luckiest among us.’ thought everyone.
At the same time, “Angus.. Angus… The air is so refreshing and cool.” said Anna while running around excitedly.
“Anna, don’t run around. You could bump into someone.” rebuked Jayna.
“Big sis, look.. Look.. They display something brown like poop.” said Anna looking at one of the shop displays.
“Poop?!!” as everyone looked in Anna’s direction.
Everyone immediately found it was actually a chocolate shop and couldn’t help but be speechless at the little troublemaker word.
“Anna, that’s not poop. It is a food called chocolate. Do you want to try it?” said Jayna.
“Ehh… is it poop food? Could poop also be eaten?” said Anna innocently.
Looking at Anna’s innocent face, everyone couldn’t help but have a long sigh. Sometimes the little troublemaker is too outrageous but also silly at the same time.
“Emm.. teacher, I think it will be good for us to enjoy the city first since we arrive early.” said Angus towards Vice-principal Ellen.
“Alright, it seems the others also want to look around. Just be sure to be back at the hotel before dawn. Tomorrow is quite a big day for all of you.” said Vice Principal Ellen.
Hearing the Vice Principle answer, everyone began to scatter around, searching for what this tourist city could offer. Angus decides to stick with Anna and Jayna while entering the chocolate shop.
“Mister.. Mister.. Is it true you could eat this poop thing?” asked Anna blatantly towards the employee.
*Spurt* Hearing Anna’s question, the customer in the shop couldn’t help but spurt out what they eat and drink.
“Err… Little girl, this is not poop. It is called chocolate. Here, why don’t you try it.” said the employee while giving a piece of chocolate stick.
“Hmm… Angus said not to take anything from the stranger.” replied Anna.
“Hahahahaha” everyone in the shop couldn’t hold out anymore but burst into laughter.
“Anna, that’s rude. I am sorry for Anna’s blunder. Let me take it.” said Jayna while receiving the chocolate and saving the employee’s face.
Then, Jayna gives the chocolate to Anna, which Anna looks intently like going to eat something dangerous. This scene couldn’t help but attract the other customer. After contemplating for a while, Anna eats the chocolate and immediately smiles happily.
“It’s sweet. Big sis.. Big sis.. the chocolate poop is sweet.” said Anna happily.
Hearing Anna’s innocent remark, everyone could help but smile. But, after hearing her last sentence, they become speechless once again.
“Anna, it is chocolate, not chocolate poop.” rebuked Jayna once again.
At the same time, Angus could only facepalm and had a long sigh. Suddenly, Angus notices a certain presence in the corner of the shop. Without seeing the corner, he notices the presence is coming from a lady in armor.
Unlike her appearance, she is quite beautiful with her blue-colored hair and pretty face. She covers her mouth with her hand to hide her laugh at Anna’s silly remarks.
Despite this harmless behavior, Angus knows that this lady is strong. He could feel his battle instinct raging on when near this lady.
Rather than being afraid of her, he feels like he wants to challenge and fight her. His battle instinct only goes like this when he meets a strong person.
