Chapter 258 Extra fights
Chapter 258 Extra fights
"Professor Osborn, there goes your team. Looks like you gotta train them harder."
Professor Arabella said with a smirking expression. Causing other professors to chuckle at her words too. While Osborn could just grit his teeth with a twisted expression.
'His power over mana is higher than
I thought.' Miss Freya thought and smiled. 'And so are his grudges it seems.'
Others might not notice or care, but Miss Freya had noticed the glint of anger in Rio's eyes when he looked at Leon or how he wasted his time and effort just to deal with him in this test.
'Looks like he's taking his anger for Lisa out on him. I should talk to him, once he's out.' She thought and looked at the other members of her class.
While Rio directly rushed for Leon, other members of all the classes were similarly rushing to protect their token bearers or trying to snatch from others they came across.
At this time two other groups of her class were fighting against other classes and the monsters they came across.
Rebecca, Amaya, Edward and Ryosuke were fighting against the class of A-5. Pshinta, who was with them had been eliminated a few moments ago, trying to steal the token from Elroy Morris, the token bearer of the opposing class. A master of illusions, and a villain in the novel.
Also another ranker from open entrance exams. Rank 13th.
While Amelia, Valtor and Katherine were fighting against monsters in a mountain terrain. They were all running towards the token bearer of class A-1 but they came across a boss monster on their way.
Some members of class A-1 were also dragged into their fight, while they were just waiting for the ambush. But the enraged boss monster sniffed their scent and attacked them too.
Their fight was interesting to watch as everyone not only had to watch out for a C- rank monster but also against the opposing classmates too.
"This is starting to piss me off." Amelia said, as she dodged the heavy paws of the monster and jumped back.
Though her rank was C- too in reality, but here in this match her mana was sealed till rank D from what she could feel. Plus all the blessings she had were locked so dealing with this single boss monster became hard. Not to mention that dealing with boss monsters was always difficult compared to normal monsters. And especially some monsters who were as defensive and had high regeneration as the one they were facing now - Grunter Hat.
A mountain ape-like beast with tough skin and erosion furs covering his whole body.
Grunter had high defense against physical attacks. While its black furs had the property of erosion, which could corrode any weapon that it touched.
Though the range of attack for this beast was primarily melle, but from time to time when it felt a threat, it would shake its head like a madman and release its furs from its crown like hat, in the surrounding area, and everyone would have to dodge and create distance again.
Giving the monster enough time to heal or change positions.
Long range elemental attacks or bow and arrow attacks were working and could take out this beast, and it would've been easy if only it were the beast that was the problem.
Jaesin, Firsjen, Levi and kuru - these 4 students from class A-1 were also troubling.
Jaesin, who had built a sort of hatred or grudge over Rio after what happened at the library, seemed to want to fight with Amelia very much.
Same was the case with Firshen, a Vampire from the Scarlett clan. He's Esme and Erza's cousin. And since learning that the spies his clan sent were actually playing slaves and house at Blake family instead of reporting back and finishing their missions - he too, had a grudge for Rio and Amelia.
As for Levi, she is someone from the novel too. But in the original story, she was Amelia's shadow.
Due to all the changes Rio made, her role and meeting with Amelia was ruined, and she never got the chance to join the Blake family. From what Rio learned, she's following his 'brother' in the novel Kevin. And had become his shadow instead.
As for the last guy called Kuru, he was just an unlucky extra, who got chosen for this test by luck.
"I'm going to finish these idiots first. You guys hold off the beast." Amelia said as she turned around and rushed towards the annoying elf, Jaesin. Who's been hiding in the trees and shooting his arrows to disrupt their flow and disturb them.
Firsjen had a twisted smile on his face, as he licked his lips and grew his fangs. His red eyes were shining bright with bloodlust as he lunged forward to intercept Amelia, but his steps halted when Katherine created chains made of ice to bind him.
"Argh" Firsjen grunted as he saw Amelia getting away from him.
He turned his attention to Katherine, only to see her leading the Grunter in his direction. And running away.
'Damn bitch' Firsjen cursed and seeing no chance to dodge the oncoming punch, he used one of his bloodline skills, Puppeteer.
Puppeteer skill allowed him to control anyone he had drank the blood off for a limited time. Obviously limitations are that the target shouldn't have higher rank or mental strength then the user. Nor any blessing or skill that can offset this control.
But Firsjen as the villain and the minion of Rio in the original novel, had enough role and strength to control the unlucky extra called Kuru.
Kuru, who was facing Valtor and was about to lose, suddenly found his body pulled by an unknown force and next second he found himself face to face against Firsjen.
"Thanks" Poor extra thought his teammate had saved him, but then he saw Firsjen's figure disappearing in a blink, as a massive shadow covered his body.
Before Kuru could understand anything the punch from Grunter arrived and turned him into meat paste.
Extras really aren't suitable to live a life.
