With the start of the sixth day, my group has found large groups of magical beasts more often, this decreases the amount of cores obtained, but the number of magic planes has increased. I believe that our final score may be the first place.
We ran into two other teams despite not interacting with them I saw the wear and tear that the test causes them I think that the only team that kills itself whole must be mine.
Now and just keep the pace and wait for the best final result, I believe we have a good chance for the first place I wonder what the rewards will be.
But my plans were interrupted when a storm arrived on the night of the sixth day the rain and wind suddenly descended into the forest despite the cover of the trees barring the wind.
The biggest problem was not the rain and the wind, but their effect on the magical animals after the first hours of the storm they started to come out of their nest and attack everything in front of them, and the first time I see something like that.
The storm with the outbreak of the animals caused the forest to fall into chaos. My group took refuge in the trunk of a tree more before dawn arrived, the trunk was cracking.
When the trunk broke, we had to go out and face the angry animals, we were lucky that there were n't many around us.
We were attacked by 8 wolves as they left the tree.
When I advanced against the wolves I wrapped myself and my weapon with the wind element along with my aura that strengthened my body. I moved faster than normal and didn't even notice this change until I was done. I had already separated the head of one of the wolves and ripped another in the middle with a vertical cut, I moved between the wolves, cutting pieces of them off the legs of two of them and the head of a third.
I advanced behind the three wolves that attacked the brothers, pierced the spine of one of them and cut the clumsy legs in a horizontal cut.
I was shocked by the speed and brutality of my attacks I cut them as if they were common animals these are wolves that manifested a nucleus their bodies are strengthened with mana even using my maximum strength I would barely reach their bones I broke one of them in the middle.
When the fight was over, only one of the eight wolves was killed by Sten, I killed or incapacitated the other seven. Erick shouted so that I can hear himself right in my storm.
"What the fuck was that Ulric ? Were you holding yourself back before? "
"Of course not!"
"I do not know what happened."
"We are going to collect the cores and then find a shelter until dawn."
When the brothers collected the nuclei I activated my aura and the wind element, but this time I activated my eyes to be able to see the elemental mana .
The storm I believe several currents of the wind element mixed with water When I looked at the clouds I was shocked by the elemental chaos they were formed I saw several elements hitting and combining, there were the elements water, wind, fire, lightning and I saw a color that I have never seen it before, it was extremely dark red, I had seen different tones for the elements, but this red with black was new, it looked like a line of black blood running through the storm. It was less, but the other elements made room for him to move freely.
Returning to my element I saw that it was joining the wind flow that passed for min, when moving my sword the flow in the air joined it.
Then I realized where the speed and strength that I showed you before came from, I must have strengthened my element and guided more elements around me creating a current of wind element that accelerated me.
Having no more time to reflect on the wind element, we set out to find a new shelter with no luck finding it, but we found more wolves on our way.
With my new strength we had no problem taking care of the wolves that seem to have infested the entire forest.
At dawn, the forest took over the storm, reducing it to a more constant light rain. Our number of nuclei obtained increased by fifty-six, we are exhausted after being attacked so many times.
When we finally find a tree that is large and large enough to block most of the rain, we can rest during the morning of the seventh day. When we recovered we decided to make our way back to the entrance to the forest, despite having several hours until dusk, we don't know what the way back will be , so we decided to go ahead and at a leisurely pace .
While we were making our way out of the forest we didn't see any other groups but we saw dozens of dead animals' corpses, all of them were without nucleus, but I noticed that the nuclei were taken by animals and not humans they were torn to put bites out of the body.
The rain was decreasing over time, but the damaged bodies and trees continued until the end of the forest during our walk back. I used my eyes to look for any enemy or material to collect more. The storm must have uprooted any magic grass, but I I found a flower blooming on the back of the neck I saw a plant like it, it was charged with a life element and electric it was a small flower with a beautiful purple color that symbolized its elemental nature.
I picked it carefully, keeping it we went our way I believe it must be worth a lot.
Ours we got close to the entrance with 4 hours left until the end of the test, we looked for a place to protect from the light rain that still persisted .
Starting to get dark, the rain stopped and so we left the forest with an hour to go.
We found several students taking refuge in a big tent they were in a sorry state, not that after a week in a forest I will be looking good, I am dirty and damp and with a horrible smell but I am whole.
Seeing my group made up of only three people, I received a surprised look from my colleagues. I thought it was due to the size of the group. there the only indication of injury and its jagged shoulder.
The tent was a deadly silence added to a depressing atmosphere in the last 10 minutes of the race a group of five students came out of the forest, formed by 4 warriors and a magician recognized them as the group that was attacked by the wolves on the fifth day they were crawling until the tent with its arrived professor Dan appeared.
"I am disappointed with the majority of students in their year, only two groups completed the survival test and one of them lost half of its members. More than 30 students were eliminated before the storm, only 8 students survived the test in a year with 68 students and that is shameful. "
"Students without knowledge, teamwork, ability to survive and to make students without common sense worse, every stupidity that was reported to me I felt ashamed to be your teacher.
"When the test results come out you have received a list of recommended courses together with the aim of repairing the knowledge and skill gaps that were seen during the test they are not mandatory but I strongly advise you to do them to have a chance to graduate at the institute. "
"In that year, only one group was able to complete the test without casualties, avoiding internal conflicts and the examiners who accompanied them did not have to interfere for a single moment during the entire test, the members received an outstanding award for their test result."
"I declare the end of the survival test, you are free to do whatever you want until tomorrow afternoon in the afternoon, all students must be present in the classroom."
"You left the material collected in the forest with the examiners who recorded your content ."
With the departure of the teacher, I will refine the students 'gaze towards my group, but he was interrupted by the examiners collecting and recording material in the students' possession and shooing them away afterwards.
When my group's turn came, we removed 132 cores and 112 common magic herbs compared to the last item I took out for the examiners already shocked by the amount of normal material, but when they saw the purple flower that contained the element of life and lightning they were paralyzed by shock.
"As you are lucky to get a storm rose, the entire forest must have bloomed a maximum of 4 storm roses. They can only appear after a storm and in the soil watered by the blood of magical animals that was hit by lightning directly the chance of a complete and very small flower, this is a very rare level 3 herb with a great demand. "
"You really did make a fortune in matters of the forest."
With this good news, I have no doubt that I got the first place. But after the euphoria of making a fortune passed, I felt like I had no energy to celebrate.
I just want to take a shower and take off my dirty clothes and have a peaceful night in a comfortable bed .
Laying down to sleep I reflected on the last few days. The school really is an interesting place I believe that the survival test was more than it seemed first, I don't think the storm was an accident, I found out more about my wind element I have to talk to a teacher about how the element in the air can interfere with combat capability.
I want to see more about the storm rose I want to know what they are used for and if I find something about the elemental energy that was running through the clouds during the storm I had never seen it before but I want to find out the name and its properties it has.
Before I realized the tiredness had already overcome me and I fell asleep.
