Chapter 182: Winter Is Coming [1]
***
Immediately, Amon felt his senses distort as everything felt wobbly to him.
A notification immediately popped up in the darkness.
[Welcome to FULLDIVE!]
As he felt his senses return to him after the vision, Amon immediately noticed the change in surroundings.
It was so big compared to the last time he entered the FULLDIVE
All because of...
[Void].
He could feel the space around him as if it was graspable.
It felt like a thick slimly mold that stretched to make way wherever someone would go.
'All that training with Athena was because of this huh.'
It felt like a fabric that was ready to be manipulated to the will by him.
To be torn apart or weaved...
Amon raised his eyes at such a possibility.
'This is what he meant by unusual nature huh' Amon noticed.
Just a slight tear in space from [Void] could mess up the whole environment.
Fortunately, [Void] was his highest-leveled element which also meant that he had the highest control over it.
He was confident in his ability to evade a leak.
As he opened his eyes, Amon immediately took in the surroundings around him.
And immediately, a chill passed through his body at how cold it was.
White and white as far as the eye could see...
Blankets of snow covered the surroundings. Trees, bushes, grassland...
Everything.
The area of fighting in the mid-terms was never specified so the team had to be prepared beforehand.
Fortunately, it was winter outside as well so most of them were already wearing cold clothes.
However, even then, they were only able to provide an average amount of protection against the cold.
Amon felt his legs and body shiver momentarily from the chill.
His hands also felt a little numb but not that much, probably due to the lack of blood.
Looking at Adam, he saw the blonde hair break off the branch of a tree, quickly striking it with lightning and producing a fire.
Then, his eyes moved to Alya and he was quite surprised.
As a fire-elemental clovist, she was in the worst situation out of all of them.
In an area that's filled with opposite elemental mana, a clovist/armenist would be put in quite a difficulty.
Even using their magic would prove to be quite a hindrance.
But even then, despite how much she was shivering, she didn't break her composure and lit two arrows on fire as well.
Her survival experience was truly commendable.
Fortunately, Amon had taken the elective as well. So he knew how to keep himself warm in
such scenarios.
Breaking off two branches of wood, he lit them on fire as well.
As the group huddled together, a voice quickly turned their attention to the cloudy sky.
[Maxville: Greetings, Team A and B, this is Sir Maxville speaking. I hope both of your teams have arrived safely.]
Alya nodded, while the two didn't do anything.
[Maxville: As you can see, both teams are currently in a Tundra Landscape. Here, wherever you look, you will find white and white.]
[Maxville: Frozen rivers, glaciers, blankets of snow, dangerous crevices, lack of breathing and stamina conservation.]
[Maxville: This is all that you will face in this challenge. However, as you know, in midterms, we tend to add a certain twist to each battle.]
Amon could almost see the old man smiling excitedly behind the screen.
[Maxville: In this cold biome, every 30 minutes, a blizzard storm will start to close in towards the center. It will close in to around a certain point in a span of 30 minutes before stopping again for 30 minutes.]
[Maxville: The cycle will continue 6 times before the storm overtakes the whole map. And do not even think about resisting it, inside, what awaits you is only death.]
Amon felt a shudder pass through all of them at his words.
[Maxville: Now, how to win this challenge. There are two simple ways to win. One, of course, is to eliminate the whole opposing team. And the second...is to find the warm shelter.]
All three of them squinted their eyes at the last two words.
[Maxville: The Warm Shelter is a small cabin that's completely unaffected by the cold.
It's located at an unknown point on the map. The team that finds the warmth shelter and occupies it for 1 whole hour will win the match.]
'Ah, I see.' Amon nodded.
[Maxville: Finally, the time ratio this time is slightly different. Every 10 minutes you spend there is 1 minute in the outside world, so keep that in mind. Now that all is explained, I wish you all the best of luck on this challenge.]
But just as the voice was about to cut off, it connected back again.
[Maxville: Oh, I almost forgot. If you would please tell me the leader of each team. Do note that the leader shall be the same for the rest of the matches as well.]
Looking back down at each other, Amon saw Adam looking at him, as if asking him to be the leader.
Ignoring the blonde, Amon looked at Alya, who seemed to be a little down.
She probably knew that Amon was the strongest out of all of them, so it made sense to hand
him the reigns.
But she wanted to be the leader once more.
"You will be the leader." Amon said to Alya, who was suddenly surprised and looked up.
"Huh? Me?" She gestured to herself in confusion, but there was a certain happiness in her
eyes.
Amon nodded and looked at Adam, who was looking back at him with a little surprise.
But Amon ignored it.
"Any problems?"
"I-" He opened his mouth to say something before he looked at the stoic gaze of Amon a
little deeper.
It meant to say that Alya was stronger than him.
"I, am completely fine with it."
Amon nodded.
"Good, you can take the reigns, Alya."
Alya was a little surprised but accepted and smiled.
"I appreciate it you two. I promise I-"
"But." Amon interrupted her.
"In exchange for that, once, just once, in all of the matches, you people will follow my order.
No buts or problems, got that?"
Alya widened her eyes subtly but then understood his words and nodded.
"Alright, I'm fine with that."
Then, Amon looked at Adam who had his brows raised.
"And what if that order hinders me from fighting someone str-" He was about to retaliate
when Amon interrupted him once again.
"I'll fight you 2 times after the mid-terms."
"Deal." Adam instantly agreed with a smile.
