Chapter 74 Hunting!
Chapter 74 Hunting!
When Luis opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by trees. He saw a 30-second timer blinking at the corner of his eyes. It was the time given to the candidates to familiarize themselves with the surroundings after entering the VR world.
Luis checked the Mana Bracelet in which only the storage function was working.
If he wanted to, he could have bypassed the security of this VR world to let Lily enter here and make changes.
'But there is no need for that. Because in this round.'
With a faint smile on his face, he took out his Magic Gun from the storage and uttered, "I'll be enjoying the hunt!'
As the timer count fell to zero. Kevin's voice also resounded inside the VR world like a voice of heaven.
[Let the Battles Begin!!!]
Luis saw at the corner of his eyes that in place of the previous timer, another timer had already started.
[01:59:58]
"I should start too," Luis mumbled as the next second he pointed the Magin Gun at 74 degrees above his head and shot.
*Bang*
A blue laser bullet made of mana shot out from the Magic Gun. Then, whistling a tune, Luis started walking in a certain direction.
After he left, the rustling sound of leaves sounded and a body fell from the tree.
There was a hole in the eliminated candidate's head, and his body was disappearing into particles.
The poor guy was dropped directly on top of the tree. He wanted to sneak attack on Luis. But was eliminated before he could figure out what happened. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luis saw a kill count icon appear below the timer.
[Kills: 01]
He just glanced at it and continued walking.
Though he couldn't help but wonder, 'Just how many unfortunate people were dropped at other weird locations.'
Shaking his head, he mumbled.
"Whatever. Let's just look for the next target."
---
Somewhere inside the VR world. Emily's entire body was wet from head to toe, standing at the shore of a river. She couldn't help but curse.
"DAMN!!! The Academy's Management! Dropping me inside a river!"
Emily was very angry at the moment. But seeing that the test had already begun, she tried to calm herself down.
"Ah, whatever. I'll deal with them later. I should first dry myself."
With her Conjuror Talent, she started to chant.
"Come forth Wind elemental!"
A beautiful crystal green butterfly appeared above her palm.
"Dry my clothes and hair." While saying that, she also made a note in her mind to take revenge on the Academy's management.
***
Outside the VR world.
The scenes happening inside the VR world were being displayed on the screen at the stadium.
[It's just been a minute since the test has started and 18 candidates have already been eliminated.]
[The battles are intense and chaotic.]
The audience also watched the screen intently as various battles were being displayed together.
One-on-one battles.
Sneak attacks.
Candidates trying to form a group to survive or setting up traps.
Fighting with monsters.
An unfortunate girl fell into the river, cursing the management.
[Ahem, all the dropping locations are random.]
Kevin immediately clarified while thinking that the Elven Princess' luck was too bad. But this was not to blame on them.
The audience was laughing, cheering, and enjoying the battles.
Suddenly, the screen changed, and the entire stadium fell into silence.
Even Kevin's face couldn't help but change.
...
On the screen, a dozen candidates lay dead on the muddy ground with holes at the centre of their brows. Those lifeless bodies gave off an eerie feeling.
They saw the back of a man holding a stylish gun in his right hand, with his left hand in his pocket.
♫♪♪
♪♫♪
Whistling a tune and walking past the disappearing bodies elegantly as if taking a stroll.
...
The audience couldn't help but get goosebumps over their bodies.
Even when the screen changed, showing other battles. The audience's mind was still thinking back on the scene they had just witnessed.

Inside a VIP box, a silver-haired woman had a charming smile on her face.
Turning to the black-haired man beside her, she exclaimed.
"Did you see that, dear?"
"My son is so cool."
Lumine was gleaming in joy. While also petting Ivy, who was sleeping on her lap.
Ronald also nodded with a satisfied expression on his face and said with a smile. "As expected, of the genes of the Suarez family. Handsome and cool."
David was silently sitting in a corner thinking that his future son-in-law was good.
Hearing Ronald's statement, he couldn't help but look over speechlessly, wondering, 'What does Luis' elegance have to do with your family's genes?'
But seeing how happy they were, he shook his head with a smile and continued looking at the screen, waiting for Alicia to appear.
***
Inside the VR world.
Alicia at this moment was surrounded by a group of candidates who had grouped to survive and attack other candidates.
They were pretty confident seeing Alicia, who was alone being surrounded by them.
But Alicia was still looking at them coldly.
One of the candidates surrounding her shouted, giving her a choice.
"Join us or die."
Alicia looked at them indifferently and then, without answering, she waved her hand.
*Swish*
*Swish*
*Swish*
...
Swishing sounds in the air were heard, and shards of ice were shot at fast speed directly at the necks of those candidates, killing them.
[Kills: 18]
Alicia didn't give them a second glance while muttering.
"Next time, I won't waste mana. So I can do my best while fighting with Luis."
Just thinking about it. She couldn't help but get excited.
"Wait for me, Luis. Today, I'll defeat you."
---
Luis, on the other side, was still using his Magic Gun to kill all the candidates he met.
'For these people, my Magic Gun is enough. There's no need to waste time and energy showing my other abilities.'
With this thought in mind, Luis strolled around while shooting laser bullets eliminating some candidates so the test could end early.
*Bang*
*Bang*
...
[Kills - 47]
Glancing at the kill count, Luis couldn't help but think.
'Wasn't there a hidden bonus for 200+ kills?'
