265 Accident? (2/2)

Once the ten minutes were done, Armond returned and asked the students to follow him towards the Beast Domestication Center, which required them to leave the Academy.

Some felt giddy to be out. They had this sudden urge to run back towards their home but they prevented themselves from doing so since that's not the reason why they went out, plus they would be punished once they do so.

The Academy is not far away from the Beast Domestication Center. It didn't take them long until they arrived.

On the premises of the center, some students could already hear the roars and grunts of the beasts inside. Some felt nervous and some even feel like backing out, sadly their chances already passed and they have to do this now.

Once they entered the Beast Domesticating Center, the students saw the wide destruction that the beasts did. Bits and pieces of broken rooms, shards of glass, rubbles and some bloody stains on the floor could be seen. The whole center is in chaotic mess. At a distance, they saw some people trying to apprehend the beasts only to find out that there are too many, causing them to run away.

Armond faced the students who came with him. He then said: ”We're here. Remember to be extra careful and do not bite more than what you can chew. Work as a team and your survival might increase. Am I clear?”

”Yes sir!” The students replied.

”Good! Now go! Return to me once you decided to submit and end your mission.” Armond said as he waved his hand and sent the students away.

The teams then dispersed under his orders and started closing in on the beasts. Some teams decided to form battle plans as they moved along while others decided to search for a hiding spot first and plan ahead.

Unbeknownst to any student present, some people are standing on top of the Beast Domestication Center. All of them are properly in stealth, and only those who are at least at the Warrior Realm and above could sense them.

These are obviously the Instructors of the academy. Well, most of them not all since there are also some important figures watching over the students as well.

All of them were gathered here to observe the students perform under pressure. Which means that this whole event is orchestrated by the Academy.

This idea was from Paul and Mark. Both of them think that the students need some field experience in order to temper their growths and give them a chance to polish their combat skills in a real battle.

Sure, the rooms that are linked with the Formation Core could re-create the intense scene of battle, which in turn could make the students believe that they actually are in a real combat. But most of those rooms are powered by illusions, and illusions could never beat reality. Which in turn gave birth to this orchestrated event.

Of course, they won't allow any student to die. Which is why most of them are on stand by and ready to act as soon as a student's life is danger. The reason why they were hiding, is because they didn't want the students to act carelessly, which would help them greatly in due time.

It took a good amount of convincing in order for Professor Maddock, the Chief Director of the Beast Domesticating Center, to agree to this. In the end, he felt like it was such a waste for these beasts to be used according to the Academy's whim. He only agreed when Raven personally stepped in and reasoned out with him.

Plus, the mission was to apprehend not kill. Which means that the students only needed to pin down the beasts and wait for the personnel of center to inject a sleeping drug on the beasts in order to calm them down.

Maddock didn't care about the destruction of this place, this is an old base anyway. The current base of the Beast Domesticating Center had been moved to a different place, and some of the more precious materials and beasts are moved in that location as well so none had any qualms at the destruction of this old site.

What's more important is that, the students could experience a live battlefield and learn from their experiences in them so that they will grow up into capable Knights that could protect the Kingdom's safety.
