My Space-Time System

Chapter 87: End of survival exercise.

Another explosion occurred but this time it came from the wyvern. A pillar of darkish-purple flames burst through its crossed arms and out from its back, turning all the trees behind it into ash.

The dried-up carcass of the wyvern stood for a while before its ashes were blown away by a gale.

"Pfft." Instructor Zirrack snorted. He was already out of the raged mode but wasn\'t sure if it was the side effects of the raged mode or it was just him acting up.

He had thought it would have been a serious battle since he was about to face a wyvern but finding out that it was just another over-ambitious knight-level beast who had failed the evolutionary process disappointed him.

If he had known he wouldn\'t have needed the raged mode to do what his moniker implied, but since it was already done, he decided to end it quickly.

"That makes it 26..." Zirrack added the incinerated wyvern to the count of king ranked beasts that had been slain by his hands.

…

In the principal\'s office…

"He really is excessive…" The principal helplessly sighed when he saw hundreds of acres of trees burnt to ashes.

Turning to the left side of his desk, principal Lovren placed his hands on a transparent orb causing the badges of all members of the elite class to glow.

"This is principal Lovren speaking, the survival exercise is over please all students should remain in their current location staffs would come to pick you up." After the announcement, he opened a warp gate leading to the main hall where the students would arrive.

…

During the instructor Zirrack\'s fight Blake and the team had moved close to a hundred meters away from the area, but that was when a pillar of darkish-purple flames shot up into the air, causing them to stop and turn.

[Don\'t stop, keep moving!] The system yelled at Blake who was captivated by the display of raw power because he knew what was coming their way.

"Keep moving!" Blake snapped his teammates out of their reverie, but before they moved 5 meters from the spot, they saw a shockwave of hot air was coming their way.

The shockwave was coming with so much force that thin trees were broken and those that were strong enough had only their branches broken by the shockwave, but this was a problem for the team.

With the enhancements their bodies received after their awakening and fusion process, they could survive the force of the shockwave, but the problem was the debris it carried along. there was a high chance they would be impaled or smashed to death.

"Conjure a plant and water barrier quickly!" Being the quickest to react in the face of danger Blake quickly released commands to his teammates who were still in a daze.

In this situation Blake, Luciano, and Ansgar were useless. Blake only had offensive abilities, even with his lightning reinforcement he couldn\'t dodge something like this. As for Ansgar, he had awakened the earth and fire element just like the scions of the Ulrik family, but still, they were both useless in their current predicament.

Luciano had awakened the fire and wind elements. Just like Blake the fire element was useless even though it was stronger and for the wind element, he couldn\'t generate enough wind to counter the shockwave leaving the hopes of the team\'s survival on the shoulders of Esmeralda and Layla.

Snapping out of their daze both Esmeralda and Layla began channeling their spell. Before the shockwave got to them a wall of intertwined plants erupted from the ground and a water barrier was conjured behind it.

BAM!

The shockwave along with the debris smashed into the barriers and as Blake had suspected it wasn\'t enough.

The plant wall crumbled and the water barrier had turned to water when it had taken too much damage, but they had helped reducing its momentum. When shockwave finally got to them, it slammed them into trees and themselves, but it wasn\'t lethal anymore.

"This is principal Lovren speaking, the survival exercise is over please all students should remain in their current location staffs would come to pick you up." Their badges glowed and the principal\'s announcements rang in unison.

"Right about time…" Blake said as he began shaking off the groggy feeling.

After resting for some minutes, a warp gate opened up in front of them and a professor stepped out gesturing for them to enter the portal.

…

When all the teams had been brought back to the main hall, they were shown the recordings of all the interesting moments of the survival exercise, starting with Blake stopping the fraxen\'s ambush and wiping out 2 teams on the first day.

The students in the elite class were shocked including his own teammates, they were all staring at him as if he was a monster. They had always thought that he was only in his position because he was being protected by Luciano and Damon, but now the recordings had erased those thoughts from their minds.

Their shock soon changed to sadness when they saw the recordings, they now understood the reason the exercise was canceled before the 7th day. They couldn\'t help but blame the school for being unable to save the students, but they couldn\'t voice their thoughts in fear of being punished, except for Blake that is.

"Yes, Blake?" Principal Lovren gestured for him to ask his question.

"From the recordings, it is clear that the school could see every part of the forest the students were in and more, so why didn\'t the school move to save the students when they saw the wyvern around the area?" Blake asked with a dead serious face because if the school did the slaughter would have been prevented and the 4 students would have been in the hall with them.

His question shocked everyone in the hall including the professors and principal Lovren himself. Some professors like professor Gibson couldn\'t help but look at principal Lovren in search of an answer.

If not for him being busy at the time of the incident, he would have been in the control room ready to warp in to save the students, but he still wanted to know why they hadn\'t been saved on time.

"This is a survival exercise; you are meant to learn how to survive in the wild on your own. If they had obeyed the rules of the forest just like you had explained to your team, they would have still been alive." Principal Lovren was looking at him with a stern look.

Principal Lovren wasn\'t wrong because they had broken many survival rules, but even if they were careful it wouldn\'t have saved them against a king rank beast.

"Everyone knows those rules are useless against a king rank beast, even instructor Zirrack had told us that if one were to meet a king rank beast they wouldn\'t even know when they were dead. There was no survival exercise there, it was just letting a bunch of kids get slaughtered!" Blake was in a rage as he spoke out his heart.

The entire hall was shocked by Blake\'s bravery, even the professors couldn\'t help nod at his words.

"Minus a thousand points for raising your voice against the principal, minus a thousand points for disrespectfully staring at the principal." The principal\'s stern expression didn\'t change as he deducted points from him.

Some of the students who were angered by the school\'s decision had wanted to join Blake held back their words and quickly calmed down after seeing 2 thousand points being deducted in the blink of an eye.

[Calm down you are no hero, don\'t let your emotions get the best of you. They are dead and even if a million points were deducted from you, they won\'t be raised from the dead rather it makes things worst.]?Hearing the system\'s words, Blake stopped staring at the principal in anger.

"Since everyone is on the edge, the results of the survival exercise would be announced on a different day. Dismissed." Principal Lovren turned and left the hall.

\'Fuck this shit!\' Blake cursed as he stormed out of the hall in anger.

\'He has a lot of explanation to do.\' Professor Gibson thought as he stared at the principals back\'

Almost all the professors had the same thought as the professor, they had been opposing the idea of sending the kids to the Mina forest as their first fieldwork, but the prince had insisted on it, now look at the effect of the decision.

…

Blake returned to his room vexed, after taking a relaxing bath which he had missed for how long, He decided to cultivate in order to take the principal\'s action out of his mind.
