Chapter 8 Points
As Karn stood among his classmates, the moonlight Serpent's beast core securely tucked away, he deliberated on whether to reveal the full extent of his strength. The announcement about the point system and rewards had sparked excitement among the students, each eager to contribute their hard-earned spoils from the wilderness.
Karn observed as his peers began lining up, their faces illuminated by a mix of anticipation and greed. Some clutched tightly to their beast cores, while others hesitantly approached the designated captain to exchange their valuable loot for points. The air buzzed with a palpable energy as the students considered the potential rewards awaiting them.
These beast cores are used for cultivating. Aura's warriors can absorb energy from it, although it is good but warriors can only efficiently absorb up to 18-20%. Because the energy in beast core is little destructive, so it is very hard to completely absorb beast core.
And the demand of this beast core is always high in demand in military.
Harsh, noticing Karn's contemplative expression, nudged him and said, "Come on, Karn! Let us see how many points you can rack up. "
Karn nodded, acknowledging Harsh's enthusiasm, and decided to join the line. As he stepped forward, he carefully selected a tier 1 low-level beast core to present first, not wanting to draw too much attention to his capabilities just yet.
Karn fears that some people will target him if he shows too much of talent. People are always jealous of others.
The captain, a stern-looking figure with a clipboard in hand, scrutinized each student's submission. When Karn handed over the tier 1 low-level beast core, the captain noted down the points and moved on to the next student without much fanfare.
But Karn said "Wait, I have more"
The captain said "ok take-out"
As a cultivator on the path to becoming an aura warrior, he knew that mastering one's fears was essential. If he shied away from this chance due to uncertainty or doubt, he would stagnate. How could he hope to face true challenges in the future if he faltered at the first sign of risk of others?
Karn steeled his resolve. He refused to be held back by fear or hesitation. An aura warrior embodied courage in the face of adversity. This was an opportunity to prove his determination.
Then Karn open his bag as he already took out all the beast core from system storage space to bag and throw all the beast core on the table. Looking down the running amount of all types of tiers 1 beast, the captain, teacher, soldiers, and students all become shocked.
"what"
"How is this possible"
"let's see who is he"
"Hey I know him he is one of S-level talent thunder"
"This prove it he can do it with his capabilities easily, as thunder is one of most destructive type abilities"
"yeah"
Listening to the commotion principal Mr. Arjun come down with him the commander of city gates Mr. Surya also came along. They approached the scene with a mix of curiosity and concern, trying to understand the source of the commotion.
As they arrived, they saw Karn standing beside a table piled high with tier 1 beast cores, his classmates and the captain looking on in shock.
Principal Mr. Arjun, a seasoned cultivator himself, assessed the situation and asked, "What's happening here? Why is there such a commotion?".
One of the students quickly explained, "Principal, Karn has brought an extraordinary number of tier 1 beast cores. It is unprecedented!".
Principal Mr. Arjun turned his gaze towards Karn, studying the young cultivator with a raised eyebrow. Karn, undeterred, stepped forward and respectfully greeted the principal and Commander Surya.
"Principal, Commander Surya, I apologize for any disruption. I simply wanted to contribute my share to the school's efforts in the wilderness. I've been fortunate with my encounters and wanted to help the school with the points and resources."
Commander Surya, a stern and experienced leader, scrutinized Karn but nodded in acknowledgment. "It's rare to see a student contribute so significantly. However, the rules state that the points will be awarded based on the value and type of the beast cores. Let's assess the situation."
The captain began examining each beast core, noting down the points for each tier and level. The atmosphere remained tense as everyone awaited the final tally. After meticulous calculations, the captain announced the results.
"For tier 1 low-level beast cores, Karn earns 100 points each. For tier 1 middle-level, he earns 1000 points each, and for tier 1 high-level, a whopping 10,000 points each."
"The total points were 98500"
Hearing this everyone gets shocked, the total points Karn had earned were astronomical, surpassing the contributions of all the other students combined. Whispers and gasps swept through the crowd, and even Principal Mr. Arjun could not hide his surprise.
"Karn, this is indeed an exceptional contribution. Your efforts will greatly benefit the school. The rewards for such a contribution will be substantial. Well done," Principal Mr. Arjun commended.
Karn nodded humbly, appreciating the acknowledgment. Commander Surya added, "Your dedication to the school's welfare is commendable, Karn. We will ensure that your efforts are duly rewarded. This will undoubtedly leave a mark on your record."
As the commotion settled and the other students processed the unexpected turn of events, Karn could not help but feel a mix of satisfaction and a hint of uncertainty. The attention he had garnered was more than he had anticipated, and the potential consequences of revealing the extent of his abilities lingered in the air.
Among students, Duryodhana come to Karn said "Wow you get quite a lot of points" asking him in teasing tone.
Karn said "you also get a lot"
"Yeah, not more than you, you become stronger"
Then both talk about their adventure in wilderness's.
With the points and rewards secured, Karn decided to buy some equipment's for safety in wilderness. As he already tastes the sweetness of wilderness, he decided to explore more later.
The wilderness field trip ended, and Karn's reputation soared among his peers. As the group continued towards the bus moving to school, Karn's mind echoed with the lessons learned and the challenges yet to come. The wilderness had proven to be both a testing ground and an opportunity for growth, and Karn embraced the journey with a newfound sense of purpose.
After a few hours of travelling all the students reach school, and head teacher ask everyone to gather at playground. At playground bustling sound of students were heard. Everyone talking to each other about their experience in wilderness but one thing is common everyone is talking about Him.
"Ok silent students"
"I am happy to see that all the students achieve good result in wildernesses, although there are some causalities"
Hearing these all students become silent, and mourn for all the dead students. And it again reminds them of dangers of wilderness.
"Okay you should know wilderness is always danger and the land we live know is all earn by our ancestor. So, we should not be afraid and be brave against beast to conquer our land"
" Ok so the highest point with is Karn, second is Mrityunjay and third is Divyanshi, and fourth Duryodhana….and so on"
