Jacob's heart raced as he gazed at the cryptic message that materialized before him.

"What is wrong with this system?" he muttered, his voice laden with disbelief and a tinge of fear. "Does it want to kill me?"

The sounds on top of the bus became louder, the students began to scream in fear and another system notification popped up.

[punishment for failure: (Hidden) will be revealed when host fails to complete the task]

Jacob heart raced even faster as he saw the new message.

"I think i should just comply with this thing, i don't know what type of punishment it is talking about," Jacob thought.

meanwhile, outside the bus the other Sergeant was still in a fight with the creature, and it seemed like he was on the winning side.

The creature was momentarily stunned, the Sergeant took the opportunity to unleash his most powerful attack. He channeled his energy, causing the earth to crack beneath the Tri-headed Behemoth's feet. Great chasms opened up, threatening to consume the creature.

But the behemoth was not easily vanquished. With a surge of brute strength, it pulled free from the crumbling ground, its remaining heads thrashing with fury. The Sergeant knew he had to end this battle before it spiraled out of control.

Summoning his last reserves of energy, the Sergeant focused his powers into a single, concentrated blast. He unleashed a devastating wave of energy that tore through the air, striking the Tri-headed Behemoth with unrelenting force. The creature let out a bone-chilling screech as it finally succumbed to the onslaught, its three heads falling lifelessly to the ground.

Breathing heavily, Sergeant Lucas stood amidst the aftermath of the battle.

Just then, as the sergeant focused on the lifeless creature in front of him, another creature suddenly emerged from behind, jumping down from the bus. Its swift movements caught the attention of a vigilant students sitting on the bus. Realizing the imminent danger, the students quickly shouted to notify the sergeant.

-"Look out, Sergeant!" the students called out, urgency resonating in their voice. "There's another creature coming from behind!"

The sergeant, startled by the warning, swiftly turned around to face the unexpected threat. It was another three-headed Behemoth running towards him in full speed.

The screams from the students reverberated through Jacob's ears, jolting him out of his deep thought. Startled, he snapped back to reality, instantly attuned to the panic and fear in their voices.

As he snapped back to reality, Jacob's instincts kicked in, propelling him into action. He scanned his surroundings, trying to identify the source of the distress that had engulfed the students.

He saw the creature running towards the Sergeant in full speed and in an instant.

"Activate Dash," Jacob called out.

*Voom!*

Jacob ran out of the bus at full speed towards the creature.

*Boom*

He delivered a powerful blow to the creature, striking it with tremendous force using his shoulder. The impact was so strong that the creature was propelled through the air, sailing several meters away from the point of impact.

"What are you doing? You are going to get yourself killed?" The questioned.

"Sorry sir, but i just thought you needed some help," Jacob replied with a soft tune.

"Never mind! thanks a lot, that blow was really strong, take this sword I can't give you a gun now because i have to follow the rules but you will do just fine with the sword," the sergeant added. " Call me Lucas, now let's kill this beast.

Lucas handed a very advanced sword to Jacob." Wow! Let's do this" Jacob said faced towards the creature which was still trying to recover from the blow.

They were both armed with advanced weaponry, one wielding a cutting-edge gun and the other brandishing an extraordinary sword.

With a roar that echoed through the battlefield, the Behemoth lunged forward, its colossal frame charging towards them.

Lucas swiftly raised his weapon, activating its advanced targeting system. He squeezed the trigger, and a stream of energy bolts erupted from the gun's muzzle, streaking toward the nearest head of the monstrous creature.

Simultaneously, Jacob swiftly moved into action, his blade gleaming with a pulsating energy field. He parried and dodged the ferocious strikes from the other two heads, showcasing his remarkable agility and skill. With each swing of his sword, he left trails of energy that sliced through the air, narrowly missing the snapping jaws of the Behemoth.

The gunfire from the advanced gun peppered the first head of the Behemoth, causing it to recoil in pain. The energy bolts seared through its thick hide, leaving smoldering marks on its scaly surface. Yet, undeterred, the creature retaliated, thrashing its remaining heads with fury, attempting to overpower the brave duo.

Jacob danced around the Behemoth's massive form, his movements a graceful display of deadly precision.

With each expertly executed strike, he aimed for vulnerable spots between armored plates, seeking to weaken the creature's defenses. His sword sliced through the air, leaving glowing trails of energy in its wake.

-"Wow! He is really strong, " some students in the bus murmured.

Meanwhile, Lucas repositioned himself, taking aim at the exposed underbelly of the Behemoth. He fired a concentrated blast of energy, causing a powerful explosion that rocked the battlefield. The creature howled in agony, one of its heads momentarily stunned by the concussive force.

Seizing the opportunity, Jacob lunged forward with incredible speed. His blade arced through the air, finding its mark as it pierced through the vulnerable neck of the momentarily incapacitated head. The Behemoth thrashed violently, but the combined efforts of the two men had taken their toll.

With a final surge of strength, Jacob twisted his weapon, severing the head from the monstrous body. The Behemoth let out an earth-shaking bellow before collapsing to the ground, its two remaining heads shrieking in anguish.

Exhausted but triumphant, they both stood side by side, their advanced weapons gleaming in the fading light.

Just then the bodies of thd two Behamoth turned into ashes and two crystal like stone was visible.

"What is that?" Jacob asked with a confused look.

"Those are your first victory prize, your first crystal stone," Lucas responded.
