Class assignment in Gulugu Mountain
3 marci 1108.
Story start in Gulugu mountain. The mountain near Capital of the Alvestia Kingdom. The hunt and training ground for Alvestia Kingdom.
A mass of students gathered together. "Welcome, second-year students of Alvestia Academy, to Gulugu Mountain!" said one of the teachers.
"Today, we will provide you with a real-life experience of becoming a warrior or a mage. This is the beginning of learning how to survive beast attacks. Here in Gulugu Mountain, there are level one beasts and level two beasts. So, be cautious in your actions, protect your teammates, and retreat if you cannot defeat them," the teacher continued with their speech.
One team consists of five students. Team number one includes Shu, Sauri, Gants, Fedd, and Guine. Guine is the daughter of the House of Balton, one of the three noble houses of the Alvestia Kingdom. The other two noble houses are the Wastle House, which is Shu's family, and the Van House. The House of Balton specializes in medicine.
While Sauri, Gants, and Fedd are normal students, Sauri specializes in magic, Gants is a tanky warrior, and Fedd is a basic warrior.
So, they are about to start their class assignment for the second year. This marks the beginning of their second year after Shu's victory in the tournament as a first-year student. Shu has gained popularity and is considered one of the strongest students in the academy, despite being only a second-year student. Shu has been elected as the leader of Team 1 for this assignment.
They walk together, with Shu in front, Sauri and Guine in the middle, and finally Gants and Fedd at the back. They search for herbs and small beasts, occasionally encountering bunnies, snakes, and other creatures.
While exploring the mountain, Guine tries to annoy Shu by asking too many questions. Sauri attempts to stop Guine from asking too much. Gants and Fedd continue doing their own thing, while Shu stays alert at the front.
Suddenly, a beast appears. It's a black wolf with sharp teeth. "That's a Shadow Wolf. Stay alert, guys," Shu warns his teammates while drawing his sword.
The Shadow Wolf lunges towards Shu, but he skillfully avoids it, leaving only a small scratch on its body. Sauri, on the side, prepares to cast a Tier 1 spell. Meanwhile, Gants and Fedd protect Sauri and Guine, with Guine appearing to be panicking. The Shadow Wolf is a level 2 beast, not something a first-level fighter can easily defeat. However, Shu attempts to distract it by taunting it. Enraged, the Shadow Wolf rushes towards Shu, who manages to dodge its attacks with only minor scratches. "Aqua Ball!" Sauri launches a fast ball of water towards the wolf, hitting it. Seizing the opportunity, Shu swiftly slashes upward, performing a "rising slash." Shu shouts as he executes the move.
The wolf is bleeding but still manages to stand. It changes its target to Sauri and rushes towards her with swift legs. As the wolf attempts to bite Sauri, Gants blocks it with his shield, and Fedd strikes his spear into the wolf's body. Shu leaps high into the air and then brings down his sword with full force, slicing through the wolf's head. The wolf's head splits open, blood splashing everywhere. Shu falls to the ground, exhausted and covered in blood. Guine is in shock, unsure of what to do. Sauri shouts, "Guine, treat Shu quickly! What are you doing?" With uncertainty, Guine hastily searches her backpack for a potion.
Finally, Guine finds the potion and treats Shu's wounds. Shu says, "Thank you, Guine." Shu begins to heal, and Gants lifts him onto his shoulder as they make their way back to the school camp. The day ends with great success as they successfully killed the level 2 beast.
The teacher is shocked upon hearing that they brought the shadow wolf's body back to the camp.
