Moss boarded the bus to Black Dragon City the following morning as he waved his hand. “Let’s go!”

Moss left Black Panther City with a lot riding on his shoulders. His family entrusted him to carry their legacy and make them proud, while White Deer High’s higher-ups and Miss Aisha expected great things from him.

At that moment, he had a strong desire to arrive quickly at the training camp and prove his abilities through hard work and training to seek betterment.

“This is great! I never thought I could one day participate in the elite training program to get gilded!” Alan revealed a proud smile on his chubby face.

“There’s only a 50% chance we’ll make it through, Alan. We should think about how to stay around for as long as possible. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of time to overthink.” Moss felt Alan had become a little too arrogant these days, so he thought to humble him.

Baylon smiled and nodded in agreement. “Hurry up and get on the bus, Alan. Otherwise, your dreams of being gilded will shatter today.”

Initially, White Deer High would send a car to send the student to the training camp in Black Dragon City, but just a few days ago, the Elite Training Center issued a notice stating that students should go there on their own.

The training center also pointed out that if the students couldn’t register themselves, then it would be better if they didn’t participate at all.

However, the training center’s notice made sense. If the students couldn’t get themselves to the training camp, it would be even harder to complete the cruel tasks ahead.

Mill initially wanted to take the bus with Moss, but her family was worried about her and thought it didn’t fit well with their family’s status. She also tried inviting Moss to board her family bus alongside her, but Moss politely declined because he felt more comfortable taking the bus independently.

…

Moss couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart as he looked at the passing scenery outside the bus window. He couldn’t take his eyes off it, enjoying the fragrance of the plants.

Although he had never traveled around in his past life, this was the first time he had left White Deer City in sixteen years.

Squeak!

Moss’s head almost hit the chair’s headrest in front of him when the bus’s breaks sounded.

“What’s going on? Don’t you know how to drive?”

“You braked too hard and almost killed me.”

“Drive carefully, young man. Fortunately, I was wearing a seatbelt. Otherwise…”

Moss looked out of the window curiously as the many passengers complained.

“What’s going on, Moss?” It was Alan’s first time away from White Deer City, but not his first time on a bus. However, that was the first time he found the seatbelts helpful.

Before Moss could answer, the driver shouted, “Heads-up, passengers. We’ve encountered a robber.”

As soon as the driver finished speaking, the robber shouted, “Open the door, or we’ll blow it open!” A loud alarm-like voice shocked the passengers on board.

The driver hesitated when a shotgun blew the bus door open with a bang, and five burly men with stockings over their heads and faces poured in. The burly man in the lead wore the most flirtatious red fishnet stockings among the others. Moss almost burst out laughing when he saw the man, but he held it in.

The burly men looked like they’d done this many times, making their stance clear immediately, “We only want your stuff, not kill you! So hand over your valuables, and don’t hide them! If we find out you did, we will hurt you!”

Some children on board the bus burst into tears when they heard the man’s aggressive words.

“Don’t move. These guys have weapons, and the bus is full of passengers. Let’s play it by ear,” Moss whispered when he saw Alan about to attack.

“I-I made this pastry for my grandson. P-Please, don’t take it away,” an elderly woman with white hair stammered.

“Hahaha! Not bad, old lady! We’ll eat it on your grandson’s behalf.”

“Stop f*cking around! Don’t you believe what I just said about hurting you?!”

Most passengers handed over their valuables when they heard the robbers’ terrifying threats, but some were unwilling and tried to resist. However, they faced a painful consequence. The robbers knocked their teeth out, and their noses started to bleed.

The robbers were about to reach Moss and his friends when a passenger shouted, “Wolves are coming! There’s a lot of them!”

“Hmph, lies! This kid is trying to trick us!” The lead robber scoffed, but as the rumbling got louder, the robbers couldn’t help but look out the bus window.

“Oh, sh*t!”

“Bro, there’s a pack of two-headed Explosive Wolves!”

Seeing the Explosive Wolves, a timid robber immediately fainted onto a chubby woman’s lap.

Meanwhile, the bus driver wanted to start the bus and drive away, but he dropped the keys on the ground because he trembled violently. He tried to pick up the keys several times but couldn’t because he panicked.

At that time, a few Explosive Wolves had already jumped into the bus.

“Move now!” Moss yelled to Alan and Baylon, then opened the window to jump out. Then Moss quickly opened the bus’s storage compartment, removed his sword, and rushed toward the bus’s entrance.

Simultaneously, Baylon shot out four water pillars, accurately focusing on the robbers near the wolf pack. The robbers screamed, and four of them fell to the ground.

There was an open passage, so Alan rushed toward the Explosive Wolves at the front of the bus. Although he was bare-fisted, with Baylon’s help, the two swiftly took care of the Explosive Wolves that had entered the bus.

“Let’s go and support Moss!” Baylon waved at Alan, signaling him to hurry up.

Alan covered the blood-dripping wound he got from an Explosive wolf as he grimaced and said, “It doesn’t look like we need to go over. Plus, I’m injured.”

“Hurry up! We can gain some experience if we kill these wolves!” Baylon turned a deaf ear to Alan’s words. He forcefully pulled Alan toward the wolf pack attacking Moss.

“All right!”

“Those boys are heroes!”

“You guys are awesome!”

…

About ten minutes later, Moss finally beheaded the two-headed Explosive Wolf King amidst the passengers’ cheers and chants. Moss, Alan, and Baylon eliminated the more than twenty wolves that suddenly appeared to attack the bus. Moss and the other two received a hero’s welcome when they returned to the bus.

“You kids are awesome! Please, accept this!” The white-haired elderly lady excitedly stuffed the pastries she prepared for her grandson into Alan’s hands.

“You’re so brave, sir! Here, I’ll give you my favorite wolf doll!” An adorable little girl with big-round eyes said in a baby-like voice and bright smile.

The other passengers followed suit, with the elderly lady and the little girl taking the lead in thanking their saviors. They gave Moss and the others some delicious food and stuffed more onto their, almost burying their saviors with gifts.

Soon after, the bus continued on its journey, gradually returning to a peaceful state.

“That was bizarre. Why were Magical Beasts back there?” A passenger said lowly. Although the person’s voice was not loud, it sparked discussions among the other passengers on the bus.
