20 System Rewards
Mister Pyg quietly observes the events unfolding in front of him, and if you look closely, you can see the glee in his eyes.
But then, He then shook his head towards Bryan, clearly disappointed with this human brat.
He had mistaken him for someone extraordinary; he seemed calm and composed earlier, but when confronted with life-or-death situations, he broke down like any other human. Particularly, those two little girls' contributions to the game, are much greater than his.
The only difference between this brat and the two dead bodies in front of him is that this brat has incredibly good fortune on his side. Since he seems to have done little more than just whine and watches his teammates slaughtering each other.

[DING]
[Congratulations on winning the game, Bryan Godfrey]
[DING]
[You have gained a new skill: Indomitable Will Lvl 1].
[You're will have become more refined and solid, that cannot be subdued or overcome]
[DING]
[Your score is being determined by your performance in the game]
[DING]
[D-Grade, Barely Passed]
[You won 50 EXP as a result of winning the game]
Hearing those multiple notifications ringing in his mind, Bryan glanced up from his kneeling position and saw a blue screen emerging in front of him.
However, seeing the blue screen and the system constantly tallying his scores, left him emotionless even after he was awarded his fifty experience points in winning the game.
[DING]
[You have earned a reward; please look inside your Hidden Book for the reward]
Knowing that the system seems to have bestowed some kind of reward on him.
He then willed for the Hidden Book to appear before him. After that, he saw a flashing red light on one of the pages and then swiped his hands to the matching page.
On one of the pages, he came across a picture of a bronze box with a large congratulation letter above it. Subsequently, he touched it, and suddenly, a dozen sets of words flew through his vision in a heartbeat.
[Bronze Box] [D-Grade Reward]
[Would you like to open it?]
[Yes] [No]
Upon seeing that spectacle, Bryan emotionlessly pressed Yes as he cast a covert look in the direction of Mister Pyg.
When he realized that he wasn't doing anything and appeared to be just smiling radiantly. As though the dazzling performance he had watched had piqued his interest.
Bryan seemed unconcerned and ignored him, then turned aside, his attention only solely fixed on his soon-to-be award box.
"POOF"
All of a sudden, a bronze box shrouded in smoke appeared in his hand, it's small, yet upon feeling and looking at it, the size of the bronze box appears to be at least the size of a normal person's head, and its weight appears to be as light as a feather.
Bryan then performed a few inspections on it and even searched below the bronze box to see if there's something he can find that was useful. But it seems to be nothing more than a plain old bronze box with enigmatic symbols etched on it.
He was perplexed as to what these symbols signify, but, he couldn't stay here and study it, so he dismissed it for the time being and opened the bronze box, peering inside to see what he received as a reward.
Nothing.
It was nothing.
What he saw when peering inside the bronze box was that it was completely dark. As if it were a black hole from which no light could escape.
He immediately took a few steps closer to the dim light and held the bronze box under it to see something more inside.
Although he was shocked to discover that the interior of the bronze box seemed to be untouched, and it was still dark. He thought that the only way to obtain it was by hand.
Upon realizing that conjecture. Bryan immediately plunged his hand inside and there in the darkness, his hand suddenly felt something small and solid.
[DING]
[You acquired a rusty old screwdriver]
[A tool for turning screws]
Seeing that familiar blue screen, Bryan examined it briefly and discovered that he had a rusted old screwdriver.
Rather than being disappointed by his garbage reward, Bryan nodded calmly, content with what he had received; at the very least, he wouldn't fight bare-handed.
"At the very least, I have something to depend on, even though it is just a rusty old screwdriver, which is better than nothing. I suppose."
Bryan slipped the rusted old screwdriver into his pocket and peered beside him to see what Sophia had obtained.
He needs to know if she received the same reward as him or if she received a different reward.
Yet, In his vision, there was nothing in front of Sophia, as she is only seen waving her arms away mindlessly.
However, Bryan was aware that she was about to get her award and she was about to accept it.
At the same time, he realized it had to be invisible to his eyes, much like the Hidden Book. Yet, in her view, there must be another box in front of her, but he had no idea what kind of box it was.
Lo and behold, his predictions came true when he saw an object suddenly appearing in Sophia's palm.
After the smoke had dissipated, he fixed his unblinking gaze on It and saw that it was an arm guard, a single-handed black arm guard.
It seemed to be similar to the arm guard used in archery. It was sleek and flexible, and it opened up without a hitch when she wore it on her right arm.
Bryan, on the other hand, understood that what the system had given to her was not something to be taken lightly. Seeing how pleased she is after receiving it. This demonstrates that it is an unusual reward.
After being satisfied with her award and was carefully inspecting it, she unexpectedly noticed someone looking beside her, fixing his gaze at her right arm.
Seeing that it was Bryan that was staring at her, she nodded at Bryan and hid the arm guard within her uniform sleeves.
Fortunately, their school has two uniform choices. When it comes to uniforms for ladies, there are two options: sleeveless or sleeved. And luckily, Sophia has the one with the long sleeves.
After Seeing that she seems to be on guard with him, Bryan nodded at her as a sign of courtesy. And upon seeing that, Sofia returned the favor.
Then he didn't bother her any further, instead, he checked his new status to see if anything had improved.

Bryan carefully examined his current status and saw that new terms had been added to the skills section as well as fifty experience points in the experience bar.
Seeing that there are no other changes. Bryan willed the book to disappear and sprang to his feet, at the same time staring in the direction of Mister Pyg.
Meanwhile, Sophia seemed to have finished hers as well, as she stood up a few seconds after Bryan and faced Mister Pyg.
Mister Pyg took his time and waited for the two brats ahead of him to finish, and when they clearly looked at him, he said,
"Hurry up fledglings, Let's get going; both of you still have another task to complete before you're out of here, and then the both of you will see your brand new world."
Bryan nodded firmly in response, and Sophia's countenance seems to be a lot better than before and she looked at Mister Pyg in an expressionless manner.
"It seems that this minor ordeal has changed these brats; I do hope they do well in the upcoming challenge, ..." Mister Pyg thought to himself, subsequently, thinking about a particular someone.
...
A young man with a handsome face and a young woman with exquisite looks can be seen strolling through the dark pathways behind a 3-meter-long burly pig.
The roads they were taking were dark and wet, with the ground resembling capillaries, or blood vessels within the bodies. And one of them can be seen in the door behind them since it is faintly connected to the direction of the room.
With only a faint light lighting them, Mister Pyg seems to lead the party down to several identical corridors.
As Bryan noticed that there were several routes to follow, but Mister Pyg seems to be going in an incomprehensible way as they zigzagged along the maze-like passages at breakneck speed. And upon arriving at the massive pathway.
The giant pig seems to have stopped moving in other directions and is now only moving down this particular pathway.
Bryan observed that this route must have been the central pathway because all lines in all directions appeared to converge to it, and the lines seem to be moving deeper inside this passage.
For a while, the darkness seemed to have swallowed them whole, and only a series of large and tiny footsteps can be heard echoing down the dim hallway until it faded into obscurity.
