Chapter 19 - Monster Hunt (I) (2/2)

” Everyone, I assume that you are all here to take the monster hunt exam. As I was a little bit late, I won't speak too much so all you come aboard the airship. the monster hunt will last one day, so let's make the most of it.” said the Vice Dean as he was looking at the students before his eyes landed on Shad who sat on a metal bench.

all the students presented their students' I.D to the Vice Dean before the boarded the airship, Shad was the last one left. he looked out a little before he went in.

' it seemed like he gave up on the monster Hunt exam.' thought Shad before he got in.

Inside the airship was very spacious. As an Imperial Prince as well as the one that defeated Clyde, the former top junior mage, Shad had a private room to his own while the other students sat on the regular sections.

As soon as all the students were seating and ready, the airship floated up. it stopped in mid-air before spun around as though it was determined their direction. After a few seconds, it adjusted itself and set sail towards the East.

Even though the airship was not as fast the airplanes back on earth, nonetheless, its speed was no laughing matter.

After more than two hours of travel, the airship finally made it to its destination. as the students looked out the window, what appeared before them was a huge mountain range.

This huge mountain range was known as the Dark forest. it is the Largest mountain range within the Egul continent and was located more than a hundred kilometers East of Kalin magic academy.

The airship slowed down and slowly descended upon a mountaintop in the outskirt of the Dark Forest. As soon as it descended, the students poured out from the airship.

They did not go out in an orderly fashion. As the got out, they form a small little party with friends and family, except for Shad.

after all the students vacated the airship, the vice got out as well and stood at the front most of the airship as he looked at the students in their little group or party.

” As you are all aware, one of the academy's purpose is for the training of many battle mage that will, later on, be the pillar of the Empire.” As the Vice Dean was Saying that, he took out an egg-sized blue transparent Crystal within his magic pouch.

” This is an Agate Crystal, 75% of our society is power by these crystals including this airship. they contain the magical essence of the world known as mana. And the way we get them is by killing magical beasts. ”

”Right now, we are in the outskirts of the Dark Forest where the monster hunt exam will take place which is also a place for newbies like you to kill and hunt monsters. But don't wander off to deep within the dark forest as there are real dangers out there. In order to pass this exam, all you have to do is to kill and acquire three Agate Crystals from three 2nd class magical beasts before nightfall.”

” If you can acquire the agate crystal of a 3rd class beast, then you officially pass the exam without the need kill any more monsters. you can party up with a mage or a warrior. I don't care about the process, all I care about is the result.”

” A word of advice, just like humans, there is a huge gap between a 2nd class beast and a 3rd class beast. so don't' try to bite more than you can chew, not to mention magical beasts are usually stronger than a human of the same rank.”

” Anyway, don't try to do anything stupid because this place is no place to carry out your grudges or acts of revenge against other students. I am watching your every movement.”

”Now scram and lets the monster hunt begin.” said the vice dean as the students ran deep within the forest with their faces filled with excitement.
