As the students stepped into the Ascendancy Simulator one by one, the classroom witnessed a series of intense and varied encounters with Sprout-level demon beasts. The holographic forest served as the stage for their trials, each student facing a unique and challenging opponent.
Ling, a petite girl with a background in traditional martial arts, cautiously navigated the virtual forest. Her first encounter was with a venomous serpent demon beast. Despite her agility, the serpent's rapid strikes overwhelmed her, and she succumbed to the venom after a brief struggle.
Next in line was Jason, known for his prowess in marksmanship. His challenge came in the form of a camouflaged, chameleon demon beast. However, the creature's adaptive camouflage proved too effective, and Jason fell victim to its surprise attacks.
