City Gate:
After everyone had gathered, the First Year Departnt Head, Elder Derek, swept his eyes across everyone. Then he got confirmation from the Departnt Instructors.
"Alright, we will leave right now," Derek said to everyone.
Hearing that, the Departnt Instructors turned towards their Departnt Representatives and told them to monitor the classmates.
On the other hand, Jeremy Night had no worries. He would always keep an eye on Daniel Stone and Betsy Lowe.
Then each departnt walked through the exit gate one by one. As always, Jeremy's departnt was last since it was the 10th departnt.
"I thought we would go by vehicle," Daniel uttered.
"Vehicles are a distraction. Anything can happen in the wilderness. Don't forget there are ground worm beasts that can attack from the underground," Betsy Lowe said from the side.
Gasp!
Daniel Stone took a sharp breath. He had almost forgotten about the worm-type beasts.
"Alright, it's ti for us to leave," Instructor Jacob said to them.
Then Jeremy and the others followed behind Instructor Jacob. They exited through the gate and entered the vast open wilderness.
"It's going to be exciting," Daniel Stone said with a smile.
Jeremy smiled. Then the group followed the lead of Instructor Jacob.
On the other hand, the Killer rcenaries received the news. They had been preparing since the morning after hearing that first-year students had entered the wilderness along with their Instructors.
The rcenaries made a decision not to get involved directly. They planned to divert the Tier-3 and Tier-4 Corrupted beasts towards the students.
The Tier-3 and Tier-4 beasts were more intelligent than lower-tier beasts. They would go after human scent. Even without their interference, the large number of corrupted beasts would be attracted towards the large number of students.
Yet the rcenaries decided to do their job as well. They left their spot and started moving towards the inner part of the wilderness.
After diverting several corrupted beasts toward their direction, the rcenaries decided to leave. If they wandered around, they would risk getting caught by the instructors.
They didn't dare to confront them openly. If not for the high-paying job, they wouldn't have bothered to take the job.
Ti passed.
The first-year students ca across the Tier-1 Corrupted beasts an hour later. There was still so distance left before they reached the inner part of the wilderness.
The Departnt Instructors of the dicine and Machinery Departnt had decided to train their students, especially those who hadn't gotten their first kill against the corrupted beasts. It didn't require too much strength to defeat Tier-1 Corrupted Beasts.
So the two departnt instructors directed their students to attack the Tier-1 Corrupted Beasts. Not only them; the Departnt Instructors of the Field, chanical, and Special Departnt urged their students as well.
Swoosh!
Not long after, a couple of students stepped forward to confront the Tier-1 Wild Boar beasts.
Seeing that, the students from the other four departnts beca annoyed, especially the students from the Attack, Defense, Elental, and Control Departnts.
The students from these four departnts had all gotten their first kill—especially against the Tier-1 Corrupted beasts. This was sothing they had done in their Beast Taming Families.
Their challenge was to face the Tier-2 Corrupted beasts, so the students began to voice complaints.
"Should we wait for them?" Victor Scott said to his Instructor.
He was already in a bad mood. Now these people were making him watch weak students fight against the Tier-1 Corrupted beasts.
Not only him; the other departnt representatives were getting annoyed, especially the Attack Departnt Representative, Roo Barrett.
Last ti, he had backstabbed Jeremy Night when the senior students abducted him. Since then, he hadn't spoken to Jeremy Night to admit his wrongdoings.
He knew that if he did, it would piss off the senior students. He still wanted to complete the next three years as a student. So he tried to forget about it.
But his heart was not calm after coming across Jeremy Night today. He hoped there would be no interaction.
Now, seeing the other departnt students struggling against the Tier-1 Corrupted Beasts, he didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, the Elental Departnt students were voicing their opinions, and May Lindsey's friends were saying the sa to her.
But May Lindsey remained calm and said, "The purpose of this trip is to train and experience the wilderness. They got the opportunity, so they are learning."
"Soon, we will co across Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts as well, so get ready for that," she added.
Hearing that, her friends nodded their heads. May Lindsey was the departnt representative, so no one dared to raise their voice against her.
The middle-aged woman who was the Elental Departnt Instructor nodded her head. May Lindsey's presence was bringing her a lot of relief.
Otherwise, it wasn't easy to handle this number of people.
anwhile,
Daniel Stone and Betsy Lowe were watching with amusent. Their departnt had three mbers; they could take care of themselves.
Instructor Jacob received envious glares from others. He smiled at them before walking toward Ariel Burt.
Ariel Burt saw him coming and revealed a smile on her face. She could see what was going on.
When he arrived, she said, "You got the best departnt."
Jacob Henry replied, "Well, I'm fortunate when it cos to the numbers."
Elder Derek said, "You guys keep an eye on the surroundings. Others are occupied right now."
"Yes, Elder," Jacob imdiately responded. His smile disappears from his face.
Ariel Burt shook her head before starting to monitor the place. But they didn't know the real surveillance was being done by Jeremy Night.
Jeremy Night was using his eye ability to monitor the beast tars who were not part of their group. They had yet to enter the inner part of the wilderness.
So he could see the beast tars from the rcenary Organizations entering the wilderness. So of them were looking at the students and watching with amusent.
It's not every day you can see students struggling against the Tier-1 Corrupted beasts. Because of the instructors' and elders' presence, they were not daring to make noise.
Jeremy ignored them and continued to look around.
Ti passed,
He continues to monitor the place. Finally, the students killed the Tier-1 Corrupted beasts half an hour later. The students from the dicine and Machinery Departnt took more ti than the chanical Departnt.
But they got their successful first kill in the end. Then the departnt instructors and everyone else started walking toward the inner part of the wilderness.
The real challenge is ahead, where the place is filled with Tier-2 Corrupted beasts and above. The students from the four major departnts are looking forward to facing the Tier-2 Corrupted Beasts.
Most of them are at Tier-1, middle ranks. If they tried their best, they could kill the Tier-2 Corrupted beasts with their abilities and lifeline beasts.
Ti passed.
After two hours of journey, the university group has entered the inner part of the wilderness. Elder Derek and a few other protectors were keeping an eye on the surroundings.
In case any corrupted beasts appear, they would know first.
As everyone was walking, they heard the sound of beasts coming from a distance ahead. Elder Derek and the other protectors found that a group of hybrid beasts was coming toward them.
The hybrid beasts are a mixed breed of hound and other four-legged beasts.
"It's a Tier-2 hybrid group. There are 50 or so beasts in that group. If anyone is willing, they can fight against the beasts."
Elder Derek's deep voice sounded across the place. More than 100 students can hear him clearly.
Before the other students could react, a couple of students from the four major departnts stepped forward. Earlier, they had been left out of the fun.
Now they got a chance to fight as well.
Swoosh!
One after another, they brought their Lifeline beasts outside. Compared to the students earlier, the students from the four major departnts appeared to be professional beast tars.
The departnt instructors gave them space to fight.
The bloodthirsty hybrid beasts started rushing toward them.
Boom!
Sand Lizard, Fla Lizard, Rock Salamander, Steel Centipede, Blue Hawks, and several other Lifeline beasts started attacking the incoming beasts.
Their beast tars began using their talents to fight. In a flash, loud booming sounds were heard. The aftermath of the attacks sent shock waves.
The other departnt students clearly backed away, especially those who struggled against the Tier-1 Corrupted beasts.
If they intervened here, not only would they suffer injuries, but they would also get hurt. Their departnt instructors were telling them to move backward.
As ti passed, the students from the Attack Departnt were the quickest to slay the Tier-2 Hybrid beasts.
Especially their departnt representative Roo Barrett is taking action as well. Whenever soone from the departnt encounters difficulty, he rushes forward to attack the beasts.
anwhile,
Jeremy Night also saw Roo Barrett. To be honest, he hadn't seen him for a long ti. They hadn't crossed paths, especially after the abduction incident.
Jeremy then looked toward others. He could tell that today is the end day for the small group of Tier-2 Hybrid beasts.
He then thought of sothing before turning toward Daniel Stone and Betsy Lowe.
He said, "If you guys co across Tier-2 Beasts, you can fight as well."
Hearing that, both of them nodded their heads.
