After breakfast, everyone have gone back to their assigned jobs and Soldiers. They moved to their battlefield near the main gate.
-Ok, everyone please doesn't be nervous as this is not a true war only a mock battle, nothing more with your gear and stats you die today? It wasn't worth investing in you this much. You all have at least 10 times more stats points than level 10 hunters outside of this school. So get you together and kill kill kill or be killed. Good luck.
- YES SIR.
After this, I changed the territory of the barrier to let zombies in through the main gate. When the gate opened a wave of zombies moved inside when the number of zombies was more than the number of fighters I closed the gate.
- Kill and remember to use your Hunter ring in the next wave as those few stats are useless it's better to level up the next zombie and kill it with this you absorb stronger energy and get more stats for these kills.
The situation got chaotic on the battlefield more than half of the hunters killed their prey fairly fast and moved to look out for their fellow soldiers if they need help. After more than 5 minutes only 100 hunters didn't kill the zombies. but they were close to doing it. None of the hunters got hurt and were just looking at those who hadn't finished their fights already.
-Okay that was good but this was only preludium as you had to fight only 1 v 1but this time it will be 2 vs 1 and so on every wave will have an increased difficulty level. Okay and move, and remember Hunter must Hunt, or he is just prey.
- all teams will get 2 waves for now and after everyone from those 33 teams kills the zombies we will fuse 3 teams and every team will have a fully open gate for 10 minutes.
After 2 h all teams were already done. The 11th team had some small problems as they didn't have enough space to freely move and dodge, but there were still no casualties. All of them leveled up to level 6.
- How was your first war? Do someone wish to take a break or fight more?
- No one moved as their all wanted to fight.
- Okay but it is time to reflect on your battle and learn from mistakes you have made or what you could do better and more efficiently, in the meantime workers will clean the battlefield.
- Yes SIR.
- Good, workers you can do your job now.
They had to open the brains of the zombies and check if there are some mana stones inside also all of the rewards from killing are the only first kill stored for the killer, the rest will just drop after the kill so we need people to get it up. We got around 1 mln Tier 0 mana stones and lots of lower-class items and some potions that we don't need but I stored them all inside the subspace as we will be able to get the metal from them when metal eaters will be unfrozen and create something better in the future.
The next step is to use all of those bodies as fertilizer. We have made 4 big holes in which we will be throwing those bodies, and when it will be full I will just use one of the seeds for the mana tree.
[There shouldn't be any health issues as I would say that this hole will be full by tomorrow so the bodies won't decompose that fast]
After cleaning the war started again, but this time it will be open gate war, they will have to fight for a much longer time and versus much more enemies than before.
Gates were open and zombies again moved towards a closer living all hunters that have a ranged attack used it 4 meters behind the first zombie to give melee fighters some time to clear the first wave of their doing.
All close-range fighters killed zombies ASAP. They used wave tactics from the first war but made it on their own. After a few minutes, mountains of corpses started to amass ahinderedred their freedom of movement but also creating a new barricade.
- They are doing quite well for rookies.
- If they wouldn't it would be a waste of resources to raise them.
- If you say so
At this moment Amelia appeared before them in a meditation pose.
- So we don't have any more time inside for this week.
[We can stay inside the subspace 3 hours per day which gives us 21 h per week and we can stay inside longer but the weekly limit is 21 if you Go longer than that you won't be able to stay inside. It's good that we only have 2 days left to rest off the limit]
- She is still at it.
- maybe she comprehended something from mana training. She was an excellent hunter with her unique weapon but her magic was lacking and that's why I made her study mana and magic first.
- Yeah that good choice.
In the meantime through gate 10, zombies moved as fast as the wind.
- close the gate.
I used half of my mana with blood magic and restrained them before they killed someone.
- Attention, please. Finish your fight ASAP, we will have little competition after all teams complete their fights.
- There is a commanding zombie somewhere there.
- You sure?
- It's only an explanation of why shadows popped now as they are just scouting this place.
[In the next batches we only got 20 more shadows probably leader knows that he has to wait till this barrier vanishes]
AI watch was monitoring your performance and 30 Best hunters will be allowed to fight one of those 30-speed zombies that we call shadows. They are fast and unpredictable please be aware of that when you are fighting them.
- Also divide yourself into 30 teams and give all stored exp to one of those zombies. Every team to one to be clear.
- It was supposed to be a reward but it would be too easy without any challenge. Also, give your best as you will be guarded for this fight so there is no way of dying. But if I will have to Save someone your participation is revoked and the next in line will take this opportunity and the same will be with every participant.
- Arena created last time was optimized for this kind of challenge.
- Good Let's cage them and let my magic Wear off as I don't want to get any energy from this.
After we Put in those zombies in cages. It was time to eat so we scheduled to fight tomorrow as for today they will be fighting again in the meantime. I want to leave zombies on the battlefield as the amount of mana from those dead bodies is insane so those zombies will become stronger overnight and it will be good for our champions.
- You sure you want to leave those zombies to freely absorb this crazy amount of mana?
- Yeah if they become too strong this will be just a humbling experience for the Soldiers. As I know That they went conceited for fighting those weaklings.
- If they wouldn't fight without me here I know That 1k of Soldiers would have died in those 30 shadows.
Even so, we killed almost 3mln zombies now. ( Author note below to see why this number is high ) As this barrier is attracting more zombies from a 5 km radius around us. There will be more of those tomorrow probably.
- Do a head count for me and report. now please clean the bodies.
-SIR there are no death only few exhausted one.
- Good. Now go to eat something and get rest as we will be killing tomorrow as well.
[hmmm what should I do with this shit?]
- Atention please.
- There will be changes to competition. It wont be tomorrow but in ten days. After last wave you will be giving exp from your rings to thsoe zombies that we captured. And after 10 days we will have tournament. Rules will be like that: Best fightert will be fighting the strongest zombie if Hunter fighting would die and I will intervene he's out and next fighter go in his place. If he win then he got his prize and don't fight next.
- Any question?
- None Sir.
- Good, go to rest and be prepared for tomorrow.
(AN: I have made a mistake in the number of students in the school as it is supposed to be one of 4 schools in this city with 80mln people so the number will of students has to change and I will adjust for this in earlier chapters
number of:
all students before: 9mln
school stuff 3mln
survivors: 4mln
Kids: 2 mln
Soldiers 336k
workers 1.6mln
waste 64k
Sorry for the mistake. I hope that those numbers are adding up for a city this big.)
