After waking up

A boy was curled up and hiding on a large dead tree, using the shadows to hide himself. There was a strange thing swimming in the darkness in the distance. The thing seemed to have no specific shape and was still twisting and changing.

"Benjamin, is there anything we can do?" "Yes, Chakus, if this continues we will die sooner or later."

It turns out that there is not only one boy in the shadow, but also two others.

Benjamin Chakus kept staring at the monster in the distance and whispered.

"It seems it can't find us?"

"Indeed, it seems that the monsters' sense of smell is not as sensitive as imagined?"

"But those people who were together before will be caught no matter how well they hide."

Benjamin looked towards the direction they started to escape. The dark and dilapidated castle was no longer visible. He shook his head slightly.

"Remember what Professor Jonst said? We need to rely on our own courage. In the other world, civilized physical fitness is far less effective than willpower."

"You mean, they can chase our fears, but other senses may not be that strong?"

"I understand what you two mean. Our fear is like a special body odor to them, but if we suppress our fear, just like an old hunter covering up his scent when hunting, we can avoid them."

Benjamin glanced at the classmate.

"This is a special exam. As the examiner, Professor Jonest will definitely know what is happening here. There is no point in hiding. Not only will you not get a high score, but even leaving the examination room will be a problem."

The two students basically agreed with Benjamin's statement.

"Isn't this a bit unfair and cruel to the freshmen?"

"It's actually not much better for us, but it's still much better than the freshmen."

Benjamin smiled.

"You still have the strength to care about others. Not only Professor Jonst, but other professors have also mentioned it more than once. The extraordinary world is not a world that pays attention to common sense and fairness. In reality, more cruel situations may occur than in the examination room."

"Having said all that, how are we going to get out? Don't tell me that I have to die once. I don't want to experience that feeling!"

"Me too." "Me too."

These students who have calmed down only need to do a little arithmetic to understand that the death here is most likely not a real death, because if it is real, the price will be too high. Hundreds of imperial elites with extraordinary potential will be killed in just one class. Just 80% to 90% death is not a price Black Castle can afford.

But these students also understand that death here is not a good thing. Even if there is no other cost, it will definitely have a significant impact on the credits.

After all, most of the previous so-called regular assessments were to check physical and mental conditions and measure levels. It was said to be an assessment, but it was actually more like a physical examination.

And this time, it’s the real exam!

"Imagination, imagination, the professor said that in addition to maintaining courage, you must also use imagination."

"how should I do it?"

Benjamin looked into the distance, looking at the endless forest filled with dead trees.

"The professor will not let us fall into an absolute dead end, even if we are freshmen. This means that the method must be something that freshmen can use."

"New students? Most of their physical fitness has not yet entered the state of physical enlightenment. Is it possible?"

Benjamin stopped talking. He kept looking at the strange monster in the distance.

"We have been running away, have we not tried to attack the monster?"

"Attack?" "What do you mean?"

Benjamin began to fumble around on his body, and then pulled out a lighter.

"Fire is a power that is easiest to obtain and has a certain effect on most weird things. The most common ones here are dead trees. It's worth a try!"

"Don't."

"You don't have to come with me, I will try."

After saying that, Benjamin had jumped to another dead tree. The two students were stunned for a moment, then gritted their teeth and followed.

Mulan was still standing at the top of the castle. When all the students were in a position where they could not see the castle, in Mulan's eyes, it seemed that he could see them directly.

Suddenly, a conspicuous fire appeared in the forest in the distance. The flame was still jumping and moving rapidly, and soon began to spread.

"Oh? Finally some students started to fight back?"

But soon Mulan frowned again, because screams had already come from that direction, but the fire did not stop.

Benjamin and another student jumped between the dead trees. They held torches in their hands and kept trying to light the dead branches. Their civilized-level physical fitness supported their high-speed movement, but the black shadow behind them was faster, and its mouth kept saying Blood spilled out, and the student's screams and wails seemed to be in the belly of a monster.

"Chakus-san, you can't do this! It won't work!"

"It works, it's avoiding the flames!"

“But we will die first—”

The two kept jumping, and more than a dozen big trees had been ignited, but although the monster was avoiding the flames, it was still much faster than them.

"ah--"

Another student's hand was bitten off, and blood spurted out. He ran away in extreme panic. Although his arm was broken, he burst out at a much faster speed than before, but the monster's speed was even faster than before. It came over and seemed to be sucking on him, constantly devouring his blood.

"No, no, don't come here!"

"Conquer fear! Don't be afraid, you have to"

"ah--"

The screams overwhelmed Benjamin's shouts and made his hair stand on end. The classmate was held in the monster's mouth, like sucking sugar cane, chewing and sucking flesh and blood. The sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly, and his body was even more... It gradually became bloated, as if something was growing in my belly.

I'm the only one left! Benjamin could not help but feel fear in his heart. At this moment, the monster suddenly turned its head and looked at him. Its bloated body twisted and came to the front. The powerful negative energy had filled the entire area, triggering all the fragility in people's hearts.

Benjamin fell into fear again, but although his speed was increasing, the monster was getting closer and closer.

‘Conquer fear, conquer fear, no, no, getting closer! ’

Benjamin was defeated, as if his soul had left his decaying body. He knew that fear once again occupied his heart and that he might die.

To stop it, to stop it, I don't want to die, I can't die!

The fear in his heart became more and more intense, but the corner of Benjamin's mouth was already bleeding from his teeth. The blood was originally gray-black, but now it was a little red.

"Even if you die, you can't be eaten like this!"

Benjamin stepped hard on the tree trunk in front of him, and actually used the force to turn around. He was facing the monster's twisted body. He could even see the painful faces of the two classmates floating in its stomach.

It's a long second.

Benjamin's eyes widened and his pupils shrank. He held the torch in front of him. His heart seemed to have stopped beating, as if it was tightly clenched by a big hand and contracted in his chest. Endless emotions were playing out, and he couldn't explain the fear, excitement and unwillingness. Plant more.

"flame--"

Hysterical roars rang out from Benjamin's mouth.

Boom——

The torch in his hand extended to both sides in an instant, and the flames of more than a dozen ignited trees instantly connected together to form a huge ring-shaped wall of fire.

Mulan looked at the magnificent ring of fire in the forest from a distance. He stared at it for a while and nodded slightly. Without looking at the result, his eyes turned to another direction. There seemed to be interesting changes in the distance.

There are also only three people left on Hathaway's side, Hathaway himself, Senior Sister Marin and Senior Sister Jenny, who is relatively unfamiliar to Hathaway.

At this moment, the three of them were hiding in the hollow of a large dead tree, panting. It was obvious that they had just experienced an escape.

"What should we do?" "Can't we get out?"

Jenny said a little helplessly, and Marin was also a little frustrated.

"It's been so long, how many others are still alive? They should all be dead, right?"

"Are we almost there?"

Hathaway looked at the two seniors, and she noticed that the vitality on their faces seemed to be much less intense now. Their skin color, which was originally gray in the other world, became even darker, almost like corpses.

"Professor Jonest will not watch us die."

"Don't be stupid - don't be a nympho - the professor is a great nobleman, the queen's guardian knight, and an extraordinary person. Do you know what extraordinary is? Beyond mortals, we are mortals! He won't care about little girls like us. Damn it! How many people have died? Are you still saying that he won’t ignore death? Don’t be stupid——"

Jenny suddenly burst out and shouted towards Hathaway.

Hathaway was stunned, and Marlene was also shocked. Then she recalled the time when Louise died, feeling guilty and uneasy.

"Jenny, it's okay, we are with you."

Ma Lin didn't dare to say anything too irritating to the other party. After all, the importance of soothing emotions was self-evident here.

Jenny hugged her knees and huddled in the corner. She seemed to have no reaction to Ma Lin's words, but it didn't seem to attract the monster.

Hathaway looked into the distance through the tree hole, which was the direction of the castle. She still firmly believed that Mulan would not give up on the students. At least, Hathaway imagined that Mulan would at least not give up on her. When Mulan rushed back to the manor to save When she was young, the majestic appearance of a true knight was already engraved in her heart.

"When I was very young, I was sold to a big nobleman together with my younger brother."

Jenny suddenly started mumbling to herself, probably because she realized that she was going to die and wanted to talk to someone before she died.

"He likes to keep pets, including dogs, cats, mice, and birds, and his favorite pet is a very long red worm. At first, although my brother and I were afraid of him, we were at a loss. Until one day later, For a while, he often gave us physical examinations."

Jenny crossed her arms and began to tremble slightly.

"Sometimes they draw some blood, sometimes they cut some hair, and sometimes they even cut some flesh. We feed the worm live food and he even lets us lie down next to the glass container where the worm is kept."

"The squirming monster, it longs"

Hathaway suddenly felt a creepy feeling. She looked outside the tree hole based on her intuition, and vaguely saw a long shadow under the swamp. This shadow wriggled forward and began to appear in the other world. Dark green mixed with blood red color

"Senior Jenny, stop! Stop talking!"
