Chapitre 5: What a lucky guy!

Outside the dungeon, the sky above the arena was filled with multiple projections, displaying recordings of the participants inside. The largest projection showcased Alec, Mia, Lara, and Carcel defeating the (E-)-rank monster.

The audience erupted in excitement, cheering loudly for their performance.

All the teachers, including the Vice Principal, were impressed by their skills. One teacher glanced at the projection featuring Carcel.

"Second Prince Carcel is exceeding our expectations."

The other teachers agreed, mentioning Lara, the daughter of Duke Evan, and Mia, the daughter of Count Albert.

"Who is the black-haired boy? He doesn't seem to be from a prominent family."

"A hidden gem! This year, we're witnessing many talented individuals."

The teachers also noticed other students, including Kyle, who appeared lost in the forest.

One teacher looked at Kyle with sympathy.

"What an unlucky participant."

Some other teachers also glanced at Kyle.

"Who is he anyway?"

Vice Principal George looked at the projection showing Kyle's location with a smile and muttered softly.

"Are you sure he's unlucky?"

After hearing his words, the teachers seriously looked at the projection showing Kyle, and then they noticed something!

"Huh... What's happening?"

The teachers expressed their shock after seeing how Kyle narrowly avoided all the monsters. He would change direction whenever there was a monster ahead, as if he could sense their presence!

Then all the teachers simultaneously thought, What a lucky guy!

But before they could comment on Kyle's strange situation, they saw him fall into a pit, and the projection showing Kyle suddenly turned dark.

"Did he run out of luck?"

One of the teachers murmured.

Vice Principal George chuckled, but when he saw Kyle's location, he showed a surprised expression and disappeared without saying a word.

...

At the same time, Kyle, who just fell into a pit, quickly rubbed his back with a pained expression. He complained with irritation.

"Agh... How can I be so unlucky?"

After complaining a few more times, Kyle calmed down and looked around. He realized he was inside a cave made of rocks, with five small tunnels in front of him.

"Where the heck am I?"

He looked up and saw the opening he fell from, completely dumbfounded.

"There's no way I can go back up. This cave is way too deep underground."

As Kyle thought about how he didn't encounter any monsters on his way to this strange place, a big frown appeared on his face.

"Maybe all the monsters have already been killed by the other participants."

He stood up and dusted off his clothes while examining the five tunnels made of unevenly stacked rocks.

"Are these even stable?"

Nevertheless, he decided to enter one of the tunnels.

"I just wish I could make it out of this gloomy place in one piece."

He approached the tunnels and paused, deep in thought.

"Which one should I pick? Hopefully, there's no hidden danger lurking behind them. But they all look the same, maybe they lead to the same spot?"

Kyle made a random decision and entered the last tunnel. It was pitch-dark, making it impossible for him to see anything.

After about five minutes of walking, he caught a glimpse of light in the distance.

"Did I find the way out?"

He exclaimed with a look of relief. As he emerged from the tunnel, Kyle squinted his eyes at the stunning scenery before him.

Water droplets dripped from the ceiling, forming a large pond in the center of the cave. Surrounding the pond were various brightly lit flowers of different kinds. It was a perfect spot for relaxation.

When Kyle glanced to his left, he noticed four more exits, identical to the one he had just come out of.

"So, it's true that all the tunnels lead to the same place."

He sighed, realizing he had been overly cautious. Little did he know, the other four tunnels were filled with monsters and hidden traps. The one he chose was the only safe option!

How lucky!

Kyle slowly approached the pond and noticed a shiny, round ball floating on its surface.

"What's that?... a skill core!"

He exclaimed, his expression filled with shock. If he was right, the floating core in front of him was a monster core, and to make it even more exciting, it was a skill core!

Kyle remembered his elder brother talking about cores. Normal monster cores usually disappear upon exposure to the atmosphere, but skill cores don't. They remain intact until someone learns the skill contained within. Also, obtaining a core from a monster was quite challenging. Even after defeating hundreds of monsters, the chance of finding a skill core was only ten percent.

Kyle didn't immediately rush toward the core. He looked around cautiously, searching for any signs of danger. After a few minutes of scanning the area, he found nothing suspicious.

Without wasting any more time, he plunged into the pond and snatched the floating core.

Kyle examined the core with a smirk.

"Hehe, you're mine now."

After inspecting the core, he confirmed that it indeed contained a skill.

"I wonder what rank skill I'll acquire after absorbing it? It's big enough to fit in my fist."

He took a deep breath and absorbed the core, unaware that the core's guardian was napping in the pond.

After absorbing the core, Kyle felt a surge of knowledge about the skill flooding his mind.

"Ice domain, what an amazing name for a skill! But why can't I see its rank?"

The rank didn't bother Kyle much as long as the skill was useful.

"But to use the skill, my mana should be at least (C)-Rank, and I'm only at (F-)-Rank. I won't be able to use this skill anytime soon."

While pondering, he slowly made his way out of the pond.

He scanned the cave for an exit and finally spotted a small hidden opening behind the pond.

"Let's hope this leads me out of here."

With a good mood, Kyle entered the small opening. After all, now even if he failed the entrance test, he had already secured something big for himself. He also felt grateful to Neon for pushing him into the test. Just a little bit, though.

After Kyle left, Vice Principal George appeared inside the cave.

He looked around with a frown and said to himself.

"I never imagined some random boy would snatch the skill that the Principal left behind before leaving."

Suddenly, there was movement in the pond, and a big serpent emerged. It was the guardian of the skill core.

The serpent glanced at the spot where the core should have been, then looked at the only person in the room.

Hissing, the serpent immediately attacked Vice Principal George, mistaking him for the one who took the core.

"Tsk! That lad has some incredible luck. He managed to claim the reward without even defeating the guardian?"

George swiftly moved his right hand to send the serpent flying.

"Now that he has acquired the Ice Dragon's skill, I can't let him fail the test. Otherwise, the Principal will find fault with me."

After one last glance at the pond, he disappeared once again.


L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS

Hello! A new chp is here!

Chapitre 6: Cheating?

While all the participants were giving it their all to reach the finish line, Kyle found himself strolling through a long and narrow tunnel. He had no clue where it would lead, but he kept going, hoping to find the end.

Little did he know, George was silently standing behind him, making some hand gestures in the air. The old man glanced at Kyle and let out a sigh. If he had the chance, he would have stopped the kid from getting the skill. But now that the kid had already absorbed it, there was nothing he could do.

After quickly finishing the gestures, George crushed some mana stones, increasing the mana density in the air.

Unaware of the Vice Principal's presence, Kyle suddenly felt a familiar suction force pulling him from behind. He wanted to turn around and see what was happening, but his vision turned dark.

"Huh?!"

Once he regained his sight, Kyle found himself surrounded by the familiar sight of tall green trees. A puzzled expression appeared on his face because he was standing on the dungeon road.

"Why am I here....?"

However, before he could ponder it further, he started throwing up again.

Suddenly, a participant running toward the finishing portal ran past Kyle. It was Alec, who had taken the lead after leaving Carcel, Mia, and Lara behind. Alec looked back, completely baffled.

'I don't remember anyone overtaking me!'

Countless questions raced through his mind. How did this person suddenly appear here? No, how on earth did he manage to pass by without alerting the bear!?

'Did he cheat?'

Not only Alec but Kyle himself was left dumbfounded as he witnessed a participant swiftly running past him.

He turned around to catch a glimpse of where Alec was heading, and his shock intensified. The dungeon's finishing portal was just a few meters away!

Kyle couldn't believe his eyes as he pinched himself in disbelief.

"Am I dreaming?"

As he tried to process the surreal scene unfolding before him, another participant swiftly ran past him. Carcel, who had been following behind Alec, also turned his head back and glanced at Kyle.

'I don't remember seeing him.'

He narrowed his eyes in contemplation but didn't stop running.

Just a few seconds later, Mia and Lara both showed up and quickly passed by Kyle's side, their faces displaying the same surprised look as Alec and Carcel.

Kyle looked at the participants running toward the finishing portal and snapped out of his shock. Even though he wanted to rest because he felt nauseous after throwing up, he still started running toward the portal with all his might.

He looked at the portal with a burning gaze.

"I can do it!"

But he was running so slowly that soon a few more participants ran past him, leaving him behind.

After two minutes, Kyle was still running when he heard the ground rumble. He turned his head back to see the reason.

"Shit!"

He cursed loudly, seeing thousands of participants approaching him from behind. This time, he didn't hold back and started running with everything he had. He knew that if he didn't reach the portal, he would definitely be crushed under the feet of those thousands of participants!

The first person to enter the finishing portal was Alec, followed by Carcel, Mia, and then Lara. Afterward, some more participants entered the portal.

Even though Kyle was running for his life, he barely managed to secure the 36th place in the first round.

As Kyle entered the finishing portal, he felt the familiar suction force, transporting him back to the place where he had entered the dungeon.

After the first 1000 participants appeared, the rest were sent directly outside the arena stage. The crowd erupted in cheers for the top performers, thrilled to witness the young talents.

Vice Principal George reappeared, floating in front of the 1000 participants. Using his spiritual sense, he checked everyone's flag and nodded in approval.

"First, let me congratulate everyone who made it through the first round."

As he spoke, his sharp gaze fell on a pale-looking participant, who seemed like he was hanging by a thread.

'I sent you near the finishing portal, and yet you didn't secure 1st place. How disappointing.'

Kyle, who was barely holding himself back from throwing up again, felt a chill run down his spine. His danger-sensing abilities were top-notch, and it seemed like someone dangerous had their eyes on him. He looked around, trying to identify the person targeting him, but couldn't find anyone. Frustrated, he gave up.

On the other hand, George mentioned that the winning participants had 60 minutes to rest before the second round began. Then he left.

The participants who didn't come alone went to their friends and family members. Kyle, with a pale face, also went into the crowd and quickly found his second brother.

Neon greeted him with a big smile.

"Hahaha, Kyle! You did amazing! I saw you at the start, wandering through the forest, but then you vanished. How did you suddenly end up at the finishing portal?"

A faint smile appeared on Kyle's face as he saw Neon's happy expression. He felt proud and began boasting to his heart's content.

"Do you think I entered the forest without a plan? I already knew that competitions like these have hidden paths to victory."

Of course, his brother had no idea what had truly happened inside the dungeon, and he would take that secret to his grave!

Neon offered him some food, but he declined. He had a bad experience in the first round because of the sudden teleportation. If they were going to use teleportation again in the second round, he thought it would be better for him to go on an empty stomach.
