Chapter 28-Black Serpent Forest

Chapter 28-Black Serpent Forest

In the next few days, Dwight kept going to class and became very popular at the academy.

He had many female admirers before going to the academy and now since everyone knew that he is now in the academy, he was constantly followed by females everywhere.

Some are stalking him while some want his autograph.

If not for Tessa whose face is very beautiful, they will continue to pester him.

Tessa's cold eyes are terrifying for the female students, so they won't dare to pester him again.

Even so, it didn't stop them from sending love letters and confessing their feelings.

Tessa also gains admirers because of her beautiful looks but everyone knows that she was Dwight's maid, so no one dares to court her.

Dwight fans even created a fan club for him and most of the members are females while some males decided to join to get close to other females while others wanted to curry favor with him.

"Hayys, it's hard to be handsome."

Dwight sighed and he could not imagine if he retained his original looks.

His face is only 1% of his original look but it was enough for women to get crazy.

….

"Now listen"

Professor Ellen looked at everyone as she spoke.

"We are in the Black Serpent Forest and many ferocious beasts are lurking everywhere."

"As a student, you need to face difficulties and learn how to survive using the resources of nature"

"I will give every one of you a token and the token will help me locate your location if you face a danger you cannot overcome"

"Remember to use the token if you want to surrender and I will help you"

"As for those who will die, I don't care about it, I already give you tokens so it is your fault if you are careless"

"Our academy doesn't need incompetent people, and you all enrolled here to be ready for the future"

"There's no need to be ashamed for surrendering as you are only a new student but those who remain and do not surrender until the end will get a reward from our dean himself"

"They will also get a lot of points"

"Also if you kill a monster, you will get points and you can see the rankings using the token"

"But your priority here is to survive for 3 days and not surrender because if you surrender, your points will be erased."

"You can form your team or do it solo, it's up to you"

....

The students were shocked at first because they didn't expect that they would now do an actual survival test.

Their teacher only teaches them the fundamentals and how to survive in the forest, but they haven't taught them some skills to fight monsters.

They were dumped by their teacher in the middle of the forest and before she left, she told them to be careful with the Black Serpent who is ruling the forest.

Some students are afraid while some maintain their composure and start to build their team and strategy.

Instantly, the students are divided into many groups and some girls wanted to be with Dwight's group but he rejected it as he wanted to act alone.

Cris, Lila, and Danica formed a 10-man group and most of them are their friends.

They also invited Dwight, but he rejected it as he felt that they were only a hindrance to him.

As everyone was talking about their strategy, the student named, Harley Brund who is the rank 6 S class student spoke to everyone.

"Hey, I have a suggestion."

Everyone looked at him, so he smiled and continued.

"Why do we need to separate into many groups if we can choose for everyone to work and build our camp."

"With that, we can help each other, and we can ensure everyone's safety"

"The more the better."

The other students felt that what he said made sense. The students decided to not separate and follow Harley.

"So, who is going to be the leader?"

A student asked as they needed a leader for instructions.

"Of course, it's me, I am the one who suggests, and I have strategic skills"

He said it confidently and some nodded and let him be the leader.

On the other hand, the ranks 8 and 10, Draymond Ricker and Peter Sear formed their 7-man group and decided to not associate with them.

"Che, that's only for cowards, it's better for you to go home and hide in your room ha-ha"

Cris laughed and teased him. He believed that as a man, he should face the danger of the forest and not hide in the back of the other students.

He is not a fool to see that he only wants to use everyone for his own gains.

The other top 10 also saw it so they didn't agree with him.

Cris and his team also didn't agree and decided to part ways.

"Tsk, I hope you won't be in danger"

Harley's eyes are full of anger as he can see the disdain in the eyes of Cris and his team.

He felt that they were belittling him but he contained his anger and looked at Dwight with a smile.

"How about our top 1?"

He deliberately said it as if he was mocking him.

Until now, he cannot accept that he is only ranked 6 and he wanted to be ranked 1.

He is very competitive and doesn't want to be left behind.

Dwight looks at him for a second then says something before he walks away.

"Thanks for your offer but I don't want to take your leadership from you, so you better not invite me"

He waved his hands and disappeared into the bush.

Harley's face was red and realized that he was right.

If he invited him, he was sure that the females in his team would only follow him.

He felt that he lost a face twice today, but he only sneered at them, and he wanted them to beg for him if something happened to them.

He believed that they would surely beg for him to take them to his camp if they could not take it anymore.

His face is full of smiles when he thinks of them begging for him.

...…..

Dwight walked for some time until he saw a huge tree and felt that it was the right place.

He jumped high and he landed gracefully in the branch of the tree.

The tree is 60 meters tall and it was huge for a person to jump easily like Dwight did.

If someone saw what he did, they would surely be shocked as it's not normal for a student like him to do such a feat.

After looking for a good spot, he holds the tree, and the branch suddenly forms a curve that is perfectly fit for him to rest.

He took some blankets from his spatial ring and decided to rest.

As he is resting, he remembers something, but he decides to look for it on the last day of training.

He closed his eyes and slept while others were working hard to maintain their safety. He did not care about the points and ranking but his sleep was more important.

...…

"Why did you not persuade him?"

Cris asked Danica as he wanted Dwight to be on their team.

Since he tasted how good he was at cooking, he felt that if he hunted a beast, he would let him cook their food.

Danica also wanted to invite him, but they knew they could not force him if they wanted to.

Lilia, on the other hand, now has a better perspective about Dwight because he cooks so well but she still hates him so she doesn't want him to be on their team or she will leave.

Danica smiled bitterly and replied, "I also wanted him to be on our team, but we cannot force him if he doesn't want to."

"For now, let's think of the strategy we will implement and minimize our energy."

Everyone nodded and they are now looking for a place to rest and create their camp.

Suddenly, their token shines, and I see the ranking.

==========

Top 1-Draymond Ricker (100)

Top 2-Peter Sear (98)

Top 3- ...

Top 4- ...

==========

"Wow, they are already hunting monsters and gaining points."

A female member from Cris's group said surprisingly and they didn't expect them to hunt monsters instead of building their camp.

"Tsk, those barbaric fools think they are the main character, let them to spend their energy and I already have a plan"

"Tomorrow, we will surpass their points"

Lilia smirked and she was the real leader of the team.

...….

The others also saw the points, but Dwight didn't know it because he was sleeping.

On the other hand, Harley is not in a rush to catch up to them and he is now instructing everyone to create a barricade and their shelter to live.

He also commanded them to collect fruits and foods they could use.

Before going there, their teacher didn't collect their spatial ring but they were unprepared, so they didn't bring a lot of food with them.

He commanded them to bring out their food supply to stop others from hoarding food.
