Not Dying Today

It was the quiet masked man with blonde hair who had forcefully removed Sifeng's backpack and pushed him to the battlefield in the middle of the curious students who were waiting for their test.

Just as Sifeng tried tscatteredn himself and put a calm expression on his face, the boy besides him started shaking rapidly and started taking a few steps back. Sifeng could see that the boy was pointing his sword straight forward as he slowly moves back with his shaky leg.

Looking at the direction of the sword, a red big bad wolf came into play, it look around a few times sniffing its surroundings, and when its eyes laid on the kids, it rushed forward on all fours.

"Damn, this isn't an ordinary wolf."

Sifeng shouted, as he copied the scared boy besides him, also taking a few steps back but not with a shaky leg.

The appearance of the wolf had struck fear in his heart, it immediately reminded him of the creatures he saw in the forest on their way here and thinking of it was sending a cold sweat down his spine, instead of taking a few steps back, he wanted to turn around and run for his life. And that's what he was just about to do, but before turning around, he saw a quick glance of 4 kids running over to the wolf, not wishing for it to get to them first.

The kids are among the few brave ones.

"Don't tell me, are they trying to fight that thing? That's definitely not an ordinary wolf."

Although, he haven't seen an ordinary wolf before, back in his world, but he had seen them on TV and watch several movies, also he knew how wild and fierce wolves are.

'Well, maybe as it's not ordinary, it won't be dangerous as ordinary wolves, let me just watch.'

He could see that about 6 kids like him who were about to run away have also decided to stay and watch what the brave ones can do.

As the four kids closed the distance between them and the wolf, they stopped and readied their weapons. One of them had a pair of long battle axe while the other three had long swords. They didn't show a hint of fear as they meet the wolf dead on track and unleashed their attacks on it, but unfortunately for them, their weapons bounce back as it landed on the wolf's tough skin.

A second later, they were all sent back one by one with their body hitting the earth pillars, the wolf continue its advance towards the rest.

"You didn't even provide the kids a good weapon to deal with that Wretch, they show no fear thinking its a mere Stalker."

The deputy commented in a sarcastic tone.

The few kids at the front were sent flying away the same way the four kids did and it had immediately went to feast on the body of the closest kid, the others scattered on the battlefield, some of them still had confident look on their face as they circle the wolf while the likes of Sifeng were already finding an escape route as they look at the scene.

And then, a loud voice descended onto the battlefield from the raised arena.

"Anyone who didn't contribute in dealing with the beast will get killed once the test is over."

The Palace Chief said with a booming voice.

Sifeng stared in disbelief and voiced out, making other kids around him stare at him strangely.

"Is he mad or something? How did he expect us to kill this thing, this is a fucking big bad wolf."

He said with his hand shaking on the hilt of his sword, the three kids around him just stare, saying nothing in particular.

Out of the sixteen kids on the battlefield, 3 of them have been sent out during the wolf's rampage and it's currently feasting on one of them, the four who went to attack it first haven't gotten up, five kids have surrounded the wolf now while four which includes Sifeng stayed behind and watch the five brave ones meet the same fate as the first four.

Well Sifeng is not just wishing for the five brave ones to meet the same fate as the first four, different scenes were being pictured in his mind as his hand rested on the hilt of his sword. If the kids managed to deal some damage to the wolf, he would join them at the last seconds to take it down but if it happens that they met the same fate as the first four, he would either charge forward to also meet the same fate as them or run away.

He isn't giving death any chance here.

There's also another thought that linger on his mind with a small hint of hope.

Among the five kids surrounding the wolf, a tall boy with a striking figure and sharp eyes stepped forward, he had a long green hair that was packed back like some royalty. He held a silver dual blade tightly in his hand as he stepped forward and look at the other kids.

"You guys should cover me, it's a Wretch beast so it will be hard to deal with. I'll go in and create an opening for you guys to strike."

He said in an authoritative tone as he charge towards the wolf while the others move slightly behind him.

Seeing one of them charge forward, the wolf move its mouth away from its meal and take a quick glance at the threat, seeing that it's a single senseless kid, it decided to ignore him and continue to enjoy its meal. The green haired boy close the distance between him and the wolf, then deliver a sharp fast strike to the wolf's leg, his sword bounced back just like it happens to the first four, but instead of being shocked like them, he continue striking the same place continuously.

He already knew what he's dealing with so he isn't shocked that his strike is doing nothing to harm the wolf, that's why he continue raining attack on it, his hand moves very fast like a machine that Sifeng failed to keep the track of it.

He's powering his arm with his life force.

The arrogant wolf ignored him completely as it continue to enjoy its meal until a prick of black blood left its body and a small cut could be seen on its skin. It turned around and stare at the boy with a life threatening gaze, but the boy didn't even take a step back or show a hint of fear, he just continue striking the beast elegantly.

Other kids had also gotten there and they also unleashed their weapon, one of them released an arrow from his quiver and went straight to the wolf's eyes but it caught it with its mouth breaking it into two, then it threw a kick at the green haired boy who easily moved to the side making the kick hit the boy behind him, sending him back.

The wolf continue its rampage as it fought with its mouth and leg using its whole body to fight, the kids were doing well avoiding its frenzy and tactless attack, using their great battle experience and their skill, but they're not doing any damage to the beast, only the green haired boy have manage to leave a cut on its skin.

Two out of the five brave kids have been knocked out and it's only a matter of time before the remaining three will be exhausted.

'Damn, they can't kill it, this is not good.'

The boys fight desperately, even the green haired boy's attack is now sluggish.

"Let's retreat, we can't kill this thing."

He shouted, but just as they turn their back, the wolf used its sharp claw to slice one of the boy's head, sending it out of the field. They have been doing well avoiding it since it started but turning around is what it needs for a head to be sliced.

The green haired boy and the last one were lucky as they were sent back, hitting the pillars.

The wolf started moving towards one of them to feast on, but then it saw the group of four boys standing a few inches away, it started running towards them thinking they will disturb its meal like the other ones.

"No, this is not my last day."

Sifeng shouted as he quickly turn around, he could see that the other three have already took their pace before the wolf even turn to them, but just as he turn around to follow them, red blood splattered across his face and three heads could be seen rolling down the battlefield.

A masked man stood in front of him with blood dripping from his sword, the sword was pointed at Sifeng, daring him to move forward.

"Just pray the wolf kill me."

Sifeng shouted as he turn around, the wolf was already behind him. He made a quick jump to the side, avoiding its deadly hit.

'How do I attack this thing, Kim didn't mention anything about this ugly thing. Fuck.'
