(From MC's perspective)
Northern Lake,
I spent quite a few hours resting near the shore of the lake. During that time, I got the intuition that someone is watching my movements. After getting those feelings, I stopped hunting fish monsters.
I knew the competition was broadcasting live to millions of people. And it's not appropriate to show overwhelming power. Otherwise, it will arouse the suspicion of many people.
Before coming here, I thought I could freely use lightning power. But I hadn't expected a change in the plans of the teacher. He had even made arrangements for my study at Saw Scaled Viper Academy.
Shaking my head, I decided to leave. It's best to kill terrain monsters physically. I think an overpowered physique won't raise any doubts. While going back, I choose the central route which goes via a dark swamp.
I believe quite a few monsters were left out there. If I can collect all those monster cores, then no one can beat me.
