Chapter 103: Second mission (1/2)

The next day after the first mission was over, the first batch of the people who gave up as well as people who were dead because, they weren't able to hold up due to injuries caused by the chameleons.

Now, there are only 102 people left inside the zone and out of the 18 members six of them are dead and the remaining twelve people gave up.

Sam is inside his room as he closed his eyes and laid down. He is contemplating on how to get past this stage with minimum effort. The first step for it is the pot filled with meat of Chameleons which he buried day before yesterday. By tomorrow it will be ready.

But he wasn't sure if it is really as useful. Even the bone knives he made can only be used for few times and they aren't that powerful.

The usefulness of these things will mainly depend on the task will be given next.

Next day, Sam along with Kelly and Hawk went to the place where the pot is buried.

He slowly dug out the pot and opened the lid. A pungent and acidic smell came as soon as it was exposed. After looking at the liquid substance that is almost filled the pot, he closed it and kept it aside carefully.

Then three of them started making some tiny finger sized small cups with the mud in cylindrical shape.

One side of the cup is closed while the other side is opened completely.

The cup is so thin and delicate that it would break as soon as they apply slight pressure. Sam filled three-fourths of the cup with the pungent greenish liquid and they closed the other side with mud and again baked it.

So, a closed capsule made of mud and filled with this weird liquid is made after so much effort.

Even the making is time consuming, they didn't stop. After all, there is all the time in the world. Even though, it is twelfth day of the special branch, there is nothing much they did and it itself will create some mental problems to these people who are always busy with cultivating, training, or even squandering.

So, making somethings that might be help full isn't a bad idea. So, they kept on making these small mud capsules and they were done by the night. Now the large pot is empty and there are around hundred capsules.

Sam went back to the camp and called his teammates as he distributed the capsules to them. After everyone took their share of capsules to their camp, he said.

”These capsules maybe small, but they will be useful in a fight in our current circumstances. Since, we can't use our spiritual energy carelessly, these may come in handy. All you have to do is throw them at the target and it will work as long as the target is a living being.

By next day all the candidates knew about Sam's weird actions of making some small items with clay and mud. They just thought that they are doing this out of boredom and some of them even threw some mean comments like they lost their mind or they became crazy.

But they didn't care.

There is one thing that annoyed Sam and others though. The noble kids who came to get close to Jasmine are still trying to pester her and it is kind of annoying them.

If not for the fact they should be careful about their usage of the spiritual energy, Sam might have fought it out with them… No more like he would have kicked their assess.

Days passed and fifteenth day came and this day the food was delivered by the bird type beasts, but still there is a deficit of twenty packages. This time also fights broke out and Sam, Hawk and Jack also got into fights.

Sam and Jack won instantly but Hawk has a tough opponent. Hawk is only at Novice level 2 while the other guy is at Novice level 3 which made his fight harder, but finally he won the battle as the other party doesn't seem to have left with much spiritual energy.

After their meal, the days passed by again and on eighteenth day.

Sam and his group are chatting to pass the time in their small camp.

But suddenly sounds of rumbling and explosions came from outside and when they went outside, they saw that a camp was blown away by a huge flame explosion.

At the same time, an announcement could be heard.

”Hello, candidates. Some of the prisoners of the marquis city who were sentenced death and were staying in jail to be executed are now with you in the Special branch zone. There are exactly 82 death row inmates which we painstakingly arrested within the whole of Marquis' territory.

But they were given a second chance.

Now they are your opponents. If anybody of you are killed by them, they will be given the chance to redeem themselves by joining the army.

For the candidates who killed the inmates, they will be given a portion of food for every person you kill.

And by the way, they are all at Novice level 3 to Level 5. So, all the best.”

The voice sounded mischievous and playful as if that person is watching a game playout.

Every candidate felt frustrated. When they first got here, they thought they were going to learn something, but even though they are learning now, they are being forced to learn by these situations.

Some of them are even regretting coming here and particularly those candidates who were once dropped out due to Zeke and were forced to come back again by the Marquis, their initial excitement was gone.
