Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Ido outpost

So guys I want to increase the number of chapters per day to two. I would write this chapter tomorrow morning and write another at night. I just released it to let you know I'll be correcting some things in the novel.

Narlar high

Five military trucks drove out of the school heading for Ido our post. They headed towards ido outpost.

Onboard the buses were the first year students at narlar high going for their first expendition. Unlike your normal field trip this one was quiet, why? Well hundred students are going, they might be incomplete on the way back. So they do have to be quiet as this may be their last bus ride.

After what three hours of none stop driving,(which felt like decades to most students) they arrived at the military base outside Ido outpost. They are the ones responsible for the clearing of the land ( killing the beasts).

When a new city is being cleared some bandits might want to take advantage of it to lay low and kill the workers to stay hidden in the safe space cleared by the time backup arrives their far gone. So the military isn't only for supervision but protection as clearing a land this big would bring forth many resources and some worker might wanna you know "borrow it".

The students got out of the buses and regrouped with their squad captain. After that they were told to arrange them selves in a five row twenty column set.

A middle aged man in military uniform came in front of them standing on a srone to elevate him self then started. " I'm your military inspector, Mr akinlabi. I will be overseeing your stay here meaning your in my hands now. I can assure you there are no beasts at the intermediate level so you don't have to worry about being overwhelmed.

You all look gloomy, relax. I'll tell you two thing to lighten your mood. " Like metals responding to a magnet they all raised their face towards him.

" One, after killing beasts at the middle of hipper basic rank, you will find a magic core in them. The magic core contains magic that can be absorbed by you and help with your cultivation although. It can also be used as currency. So if you get what I'm saying this forest is like filled with treasures waiting for you." They all looked hopeful hearing that as this is worth risking their lives for. They wanted to hear the second one as it might even be better news

" Two, although there are no variants in this forest ( special kind beasts that mutated under particular circumstance.) the mating season just passed by few months ago meaning you should be able to find some young beasts to take. Although it's extremely hard or almost impossible, if you feed it enough resources it might become a variant in the future. So if you are interested you can pick a piece of space equipment to keep it in but it's equivalent to 50 middle class basic magic core or ten high class basic magic core. That'll be all for now you leave at dawn. " With that he left.

Most people opinion to the second suggestion was nil as when they go toore dangerous places in the future their chances of finding variants would be higher so they shouldn't rush and waste resources on a useless ordinary beast.

The minority decided to give it a shot. The first set of people are trying because they don't have to worry about resources and their bored, second think a variant is to scarce to be found and even if found they might not be able to get it first. The third are people from small clans that were sent by big clans with hopes of them become power mages to serve the big clans in the future. Their future is already set and if they were lucky enough to later find a variant it would be claimed by the big clan behind them. They believed they should start trying to get their beast partners here so they can grow together. The last set of ini to say took the bag because he felt like and would later on decide whether to take a beast or not. The main reason most people lost interest was because of the price of this stuff as they believed it was a waste of beast cores.

The space devices comes in four forms. The hand bracelet, the ring, the necklace and the small pouch. InI took a diamond pendant necklace write his name down and left to his tent. Tomorrow is a big day.
