Bab 52: Guilt

Did she just get slain by the guy who had save her. She couldn't believe such a thing had happened to her.

Not only her, the whole audience also saw everything that went on in the simulation world.

"Oh my, did he just kill that young girl."

"That is so sickening. How could he do that."

"Damm, I'm starting to get goosebumps as I think of it."

"What a foul. That guy should be disqualified."

"He's from Craig academy. Can't believe their students would execute such a foul play."

The students from Craig academy, all had an embarrassed look on their face when the name of their school was being identified. They gradually lowered their head, covering their faces with their hands as they tried to minimize their presence in the crowd.

Such actions were immediately futile, as the other students sighted them, before criticizing them with scolding words.

'Damm you Alec!' They all cursed Alec repetitively in their hearts, since he was the cause of the whole situation.

The homeroom teachers of Craig academy all had a gloomy expression on their face. They knew even if they pass the first round, their school reputation would still be in ruin.

Just as everyone was starting to scold the Craig academy, another scene began to take place in other video feeds.

Perhaps realizing it was now or never, the contestants started attacking one another.

"I'm sorry that I've to do this, Colin. It's quite evident you wouldn't make it pass the next round. Instead of that, why don't you lend me your points buddy."

"Fuck you, Damon. I never knew you were this kind of person. I really regret becoming friends you. You want my points, right? Then you can have it over my dead body."

Such scenario was going on everywhere. Friends for years became enemy. First love became foes on the battlefield.

Seeing the riots going on, Colton immediately ran for his dear life to seek shelter. Several people tried to attack him, but they were the ones who ends up dead instead.

'Damm it. What have gotten into their heads. Can't they see that it's all trap. How gullible they are to fall into it'.

Colton shook his head in dismay. He kept on running, trying to find a safe place to hide. Although this place is a simulation world, it was constructed just like an actual world. There were trees, rocks and hidden caves. All he just has to do is to stay there till the time run out.

He only had to persist for twenty minutes before the first stage of the competition ends.

Witnessing the gruesome madness that was going on in the simulation world, none of the spectators could utter a word.

Right now, over eleven thousand participants had been eliminated. This is such an astronomical number of eliminations for a first stage event.

The judges expression weren't looking pleasant either. However, there was nothing they could do, since they were the ones that had made the rules.

Soon the timer runs out, those who were still in the midway of their battle found themselves teleported to the outside world.

Although Vice president Edward wasn't satisfied with the turn out of the event, he still stood up from his sit to announce the victory of those who had last till the time lapse.

Out of the thousands of students that had participated in the first round, only twelve thousand had made it to the next round. However, there were some contestants whose points were lower than average. Hence, they were disqualified, cutting short the number of students who had passed the first round to seven thousand.

Some schools were unlucky as all their students were kicked out from the first round. Some students who were killed couldn't help hold a grudge at those who had killed them.

But there was nothing they could do but to accept defeat.

"The second event will be the combat competition. It will be holding on tomorrow at the same time. Also, I congratulate those who had passed on to the next stage. I hereby announced the end of today's event." Unlike his previous enthused voice at the opening of the event, Vice president Edward tone could be said to be grimly.

Looking into his eyes, the students who had cheated their way into the next round, couldn't help but lower their head in guilt. They could see the dissatisfaction towards them from the judges and audience. But what's done is done. There's no changing what had already happened.

Everyone left the stadium one by one. Each of them all had something to say with their partners.

[Wow, I never expected to experience such a thrilling moment. I would say those kids really shows how humanity would behave in such a dire situation]

Such a scene wasn't the first time to Xue Yiran. Luckily, Hermes academy was among those who pass the first round. It could be said to be their luck.

Since it was passed lunch time, she heads to the cafeteria to grab some food to eat.

All through the competition, Aviva had been keeping an eye on Xue Yiran. Her hatred for Xue Yiran had already reached the limit. Although she wasn't in the cafeteria yesterday afternoon, she had heard of how Xue Yiran had humiliated the girls.

Of course, she was the one who had tipped the four girls about Sylvia arrival. Why else would the two clash together. Do you all think it's a coincidence? Coincidence my foot.

Seeing that her plan had failed, she couldn't help but detest Sylvia more.

'Why does she always get lucky? Well, not this time around.'

A scheming smile appeared on her lips.

"Well, why don't you enjoy the gift I'm about to give you tomorrow. Perhaps it will be to your liking." She kept her pace and walked out of the stadium.

A group of boys also walked out of the stadium. When one of the boys bade farewell, his group immediately asked.

"Where are you going Zach? Aren't we heading to the dining hall together."

"You guys can go ahead. I've something else to do."

Hearing Zach response, the group could only comply to his wish and left without him.

After they were gone, Zach immediately head to an opposite direction. He kept walking away from the crowd before finally arriving at a remote place.

He looked left and right but after seeing no one around, he immediately brought out his contact device and dial a contact. While doing that, he turned off the holographic function. This was to prevent anyone knowing who he was talking with.

"I'm already at the location. Where are you at?"


Bab 53: Decision

"Behind you."

Zach heart had a jump scare when he heard the sudden voice that came behind him. Realizing that it was the person who he was waiting for, he suddenly felt relief. But his heart was still beating quite fast than normal.

"Do you meant what you said?" Not a hint was given, but Zach knew that the other person understands what he was inferring to.

"Of course." Aviva lips curl up when she saw the doubtful expression on Zach's face. "As long as you do your job properly, I'll treat you well." Reaching her hand into her pocket, Aviva brought out a small bottle filled with red liquid substance.

Observing the small bottle in Aviva's palm, Zach had a complicated expression on his face. Finally, he stammers and ask, "It-- it won't do anything harmful to me if I drink it, right?" He was starting to get nervous.

"Of course not." Aviva said with a chuckled. "I am not a person who would want to see my classmate die."

Well, apart from a certain person. 

Continuing, she assured, "Don't worry. It's totally harmless. Apart from making your body a little weak, you'll go back to your previous self once the effects wane off."

Zach hesitated for a moment, before he finally said through his gritted teeth. "Fine."

"Nice one." Aviva had hint of playfulness in her eyes, before passing the bottle to Zach. "All you need to do is to call in sick for tomorrow competition and then leave the rest of the plan to me."

After coming to an agreement, the two parted ways.

...

Inside the hotel room, Xue Yiran was talking with Xue Haoran on the phone. The little guy face appears vibrant on the screen. From his cheerful expression, it seems like he really enjoys his stay with Miley.

"Isn't he so cute." Miley's face appears on the screen. "I really want to kidnap him and make him mine." Hugging Xue Haoran, Miley gave the helpless boy a kiss on the cheeks.

A slight chuckle escaped from Xue Yiran mouth.

She converses a bit with Miley and then ended the conversation.

...

Unlike in the first round, the numbers of students at the stadium had diminished a lot. Still, that doesn't stop the enthused crowd for cheering for their academy.

Xue Yiran was also seated waiting for the event to start.

Vice president Edward came to the stage once again, and began to announce the rules of the competition.

Since it's a combat competition, injuries were sure to take place. Hence, the paramedics were at the side, ready to treat any contestants who gets injure during the fight.

Once the rules were announced, a lot of contestants were quite happy.

One, they were allowed to summoned out their contract beast. Two, they were allowed to play dirty. As long as they do not step out of the arena boundary line, they can fight to their heart content.

Although the rules might sound dangerous, however the judges knew that the students weren't yet exposed to bloody situation.

Even though they could cheat their way through with some few tricks, but in face of real death, they would instantly turn to a coward.

Hearing that summoning of their contract beast was accepted, those among the contestants who had contracted with the cub of a powerful beast were starting to get their ego up.

At this stage of adolescence, most of the beast contracted by teenagers are most likely cub beast who are yet to reach adulthood. Since contacting an adult beast would lead to a severe backlash to the teenager.

Xue Yiran cases of contracting Sky was a special moment. First, Sky who was then a C rank beast king trying to break into a B rank, was bombarded with attack from a B rank monster.

Since he was in vulnerable moment at that time, Sky fighting spirit had depleted a lot.

Also, the moment Xue Yiran was performing the contracting ritual, he had wanted to fight back, which would result to a contract backlash, resulting to Xue Yiran's injury. But just as he was about to do so, he felt a momentum pressure fall upon him and could only cower in fear. And so, follows the next scenario.

The competition was operated by a ballot. Each contestant would have to take a paper out of the ballot box. The name written in the paper would be the opponent they would be fighting against.

In such a case, a contestant from the same academy might likely pick an opponent of the same academy. That could only be said to be the bad luck of the academy.

Hence everyone was nervous as they approach the ballot box with caution. Some were lucky, while some who weren't could only fight with their own academy students.

From the Hermes academy, there were eleven students who had passed the first round. They could be said to be quite lucky. However, the homeroom teacher immediately noticed that the number weren't adding up

'Shouldn't they be eleven. Why are there only ten contestants around?'

The homeroom teacher immediately walked towards the group. "You're all supposed to be eleven. Who is the missing person?" A frown appeared on the homeroom teacher as he asked. This was an important competition. How dare someone lack behind. Do he or she think this is a child play.

"It's Zach." One of the students raised his hands up and answered. He was among those who had walked with Zach yesterday evening. "This morning, I don't know how it happened but when we woke up, we found Zach complexion a bit red. Upon touching him, we realize that he was burning with fever. Me and some roommates immediately rushed him into the infirmary. The doctor said that Zach might have ingested something which his body might be allergic to. However, with a bit of rest, he would be fine by tomorrow."

"Oh." The frown on the homeroom teacher face lessens. A student was sick. This could be said to be a negligence on his side. "Good job." He compliments the student who spoke. "I'll go take a look at Zach. As for Zach space it would be fill in by someone. Just focus on the competition and perform your best." The homeroom teacher said some words of encouragement to the students before leaving.

Xue Yiran was currently seated waiting for the match to start when she saw their homeroom teacher approaching towards them. She detects some hint of worry on his face.

Soon, everyone noticed the homeroom teacher arrival.

Sighed. He really didn't want to do this but there was nothing he could do. "We have a sick student among the contestants. He has been sent to the infirmary. However, there's a spot opened among the participants. Would any of you like to fill in the spots?"

The students were stunned by the sudden question. As a substitute, most of them really do not have a sound combat experience since they were only here to make up for the number. Agreeing to the homeroom teacher means they would have to step on the stage and fight up with the opponent. And since the theme of the competition is combat, there's a high chance of them getting injured.

How could they let that happen to them. Hence none of them spoke up. The homeroom teacher had expected to get such reaction from them.

Still, he looks at the students one by one.

"Do want to go Suzy?"

"I... I..." Suzy began to stammer hearing her name being called. It's evident that the young girl was getting nervous.

The homeroom teacher turned his gaze to the student next to Suzy.

"I'm sorry teacher. I don't want to go. I'm really afraid of pain."

"I understand. What about you?" He glances at the next student.

"I have a stage fright. I don't think I've the courage to go down the stage."

"I injured my back some weeks ago, the doctor told me rest or else I might be paralyzed for life."

Rejection came one after the other. The homeroom teacher was starting to get angry when he heard the silly excuses the students were given.

What do you mean by you injured your back? How come I saw you displaying some stunts yesterday. And you, what do you say. You're afraid of your makeup being smeared with sweat. Does this look like a joke to you?

Finally, his gaze rested on the last person, Xue Yiran. Everyone turned their head to look at her. Each of them all had a nervous expression on their face.

Xue Yiran was their last hope. If she were to refuse, the homeroom teacher would have to pick one of them.

They really do not want it to be them. Hence what would Xue Yiran decision be. They were all waiting with tension.
