Chapter 309
At the same time, similar battles were occurring all around. All of the Children here had special Physiques, although still basic ones like Innate Strength and Speed, it was enough to beat the WildeBeest.
But far from as easy as Camion.
On the far side of the battlefield, a short haired girl grit her teeth. A large shield in her hands indented as a Middle Rank 1 Wildebeest smashed his hoof down towards her.
Luckily her Innate Strength broke out, pushing the WIldebeest that was standing on its hindquarters down causing it to crash onto its back.
Her body leapt up, a small dagger appearing on her hand as she slashed it heavily down on the stomach of the beast.
At the same time, a rapid figure was dashing around a wounded WildeBeest. It was covered in hundreds of tiny cuts causing its fur to become blood soaked. But finally the quick figure dashed forward to the throat of the beast.
A Rapier in his hand stabbed out, piercing directly through the beast's neck. And the quick figure finally stopped revealing a young boy with a handsome chiselled face and sweat falling down his face.
''These Siblings of mine are really talented.''
Shamus floated in the air slightly looking down at the one-sided massacre of the WildeBeests.
In comparison to the Lanford Family when he was born they have really advanced endlessly. But in fact Shamus is happy.
He now has at least a thousand Siblings and relatives and the nature of the Lanford Family is very friendly and accepting despite some occasional competitiveness.
''It seems it's over. Wait there's one left.''
Shamus spoke casually staring at the final battle.
On the battlefield a slightly lean boy with a Shy nature was standing opposite a large WildeBeest, the only other High Rank 1 Beast.
However in the boy's hand a giant red bow appeared, his slender fingers pulled back the string as a red metal arrow appeared in his hand quickly placing it on the string.
Suddenly, the spectators saw his personality change rapidly. From the originally quiet and calm Nathan he suddenly began to show the aura of a domineering general.
His face showed a Confident look as he pulled back the string.
'Twang'
The arrow was rapidly released from its place, flying forward at a rapid speed.
A Bright red aura spun around the arrow as if it was a dragon wanting to pierce the sky, and before the WildeBeest had time to react the sharp arrow pierced one of its eyes.
'Huuuuh'
The Wildebeest realised a shocking bellow as it bucked it's legs attempting to shake the arrow out, but to no avail.
And before it could react, another arrow flew over, embedding itself deep inside the beast's underbelly.
However it is still a High Rank 1 Beast, these wounds didn't stop it. Instead it fixed its good eye on Nathan who was preparing his next arrow and charged.
Nathan was stunned that the creature could still move, his body leapt back quickly but it wasn't quick enough. The Wildebeest was too close already, two sharp horns went either side of Nathan's chest as the beast's otherwise flat head smashed heavily against his ribs.
Nathan grunted in pain as he flew back, not losing his composure. His bow tilted sideways to match his path in flight as the arrow was released.
'Twang'
Nathan smashed against the ground as his body rolled over in pain. But the arrow that he released had hit its target.
The open mouth of the WIldebeest was about to release a loud bellow to frighten its foe, but instead it welcomed a sharp arrow into its mouth stabbing through the back of its neck.
Unable to breath the Wildebeest unwillingly stared at Nathan before slowly dropping dead onto the ground.
''Well done, all of you. I am very impressed with your combat power.''
Shamus floated down slowly as the guards the children brought with them hurried over to check for injuries.
In fact, with the exception of Nathan, none of the children were really injured, at most some scratches. Only Nathan received two broken ribs.
But that is to be expected, after all he is a long range fighter with a talent for leading warriors. It would be surprising if he wasn't injured! Not to mention he lacked combat experience.
But after taking some common herbs from a guard beside him, Nathan stood up only slightly shaken up and the lesson continued.
The group travelled around hunting various creatures, before Shamus determined that it was enough and they returned for the day.
''Now I am sure all of you know. Now that you are 10 years old your lessons will be slightly different''
The next day, in a large classroom the 26 Children sat on comfortable chairs. Behind each of them was a maid and an attendant.
And in front of them was a large marble desk filled with all sorts of books and notes.
''Every week you will enter the Eternal Battlefield, you may partner up or even form large groups if you wish. You can bring any warriors that you want as long as they are under your control.''
''At the end of the Week, Whichever one of you that presents the most Beast corpses will receive a personal lesson from the Head Teacher, and 100 Subordinates free of charge!''
Katy, the teacher of this class, spoke about the new incentive program put in place by the school.
''At the same time, with the others in your year, whoever provides the most corpses within a month will receive 1,000 Subordinates!''
In fact this was the idea that Samuel came up with. It is to encourage the children to begin exploring the Eternal Battlefield.
And he has plenty of summoning opportunities now, with tens of thousands being provided each month from the Abyssal Battlefield!
Nathan sat in the corner and listened to this. His eyes glowed.
This was his chance to show off. His Physique is oriented towards leading forces, the more warriors he has the better he is!
However he also knew not to be cocky. His mother and aunties often told him while he was growing up that others can't be underestimated.
Thinking of the measly 500 Warriors that are directly under his control, and the tens of thousands strong forces under some of his brothers he was quite jealous.
He wanted to take this chance to earn more warriors!
