As soon as everyone left the cave and started walking, a three-man team emerged from within the ground behind the earthen walls.
"We should really thank these new students. Especially that Harry. He made it a lot easier for us." One of them said.
"Harry this really won't change. He only cares about himself. If he's using that man in black, we're gonna have a hard time." Said another man while shaking his head. He was from the Evergreen family and he also saw the second half along with the other noble children.
"Who is that guy really? Even Philip said to stay alert." The remaining people spoke with curiosity.
"Well, he was a friend of Philip and came from the stone village of Lava. He was not just a monster in battle facing many opponents at the same time. He was very proficient in archery as well as formations. You don't see if he did it in the second round. He had actually defeated the top hundred by himself using a formation. And out of the other top ten, four people including Harry all gave up before they even fought." Said the man from the Evergreen family.
"He's really good then. Judging from this character of Harry, he must have held a grudge against him and not given him the right opportunity and held him in the scouting team or anything like that." Another man answered.
"In due course, we need to send information to Philip and the attacking force to intercept Harry and his team. We're gonna win this easier than we thought." Once he finished, the three of them entered the tunnel. Then they appeared behind the cave. There were about seven people waiting for them.
This was the scout squad responsible for scouting the main headquarters of the New Students team. The three people who entered the tunnel were Acolytes Late stage Earth element mages. The decision to infiltrate the region while it was still dark greatly benefited them.
As soon as they relayed the information to the other seven members, a man took out a paper and wrote it all down. Then he took out a bow and arrow. He tied the paper to the arrow and shot it towards the bamboo forest. He was a wind element magician warrior. The arrow pierced through the wind as it smoothly reached a tree and hit it.
A man emerged from the darkness and took the paper from the arrow and shot it again in a certain direction where another man picked it up. These guys are from the second scout team. In fact, Sam had wrongly guessed that the scout team had still not crossed the river. They crossed the river even before he broke the stone path. So, twenty people sneaked in and sent information to the base and then to the assault squad.
The senior assault team only had twenty people. But more than half were in the late stages and the others were at least at the peak of the intermediate stage Acolytes. Most of them were magicians.
By the time the information came to the attacking team, they were close to approaching the river crossing. The team leader smiled as he spoke.
"The team leader of the freshman team as we predicted, Harry, the son of the city lord. The information says that the silver ball is with him and even his team members do not know it. We can finish it off quickly if we cross the river and set up an ambush on the other side.
Others also became excited as they moved faster, but when they saw the river crossing, they immediately lowered their excitement. There are no ordinary stone paths above the river. The team leader gritted his teeth and said.
"We need to get through this as quickly as possible. Lefs go. Water Element Witch and Warrior Witch, you move first."
Five of the twenty moved. Four of them were Water element Magicians and the fifth was magician warriors. Everything was at the peak of the middle stage except for one person who was at the late stage of Acolyte. The four of them enter the water as they move and reduce water resistance by controlling the flow of water. The rest of the team also followed them from behind. When they were in the middle of the stream they suddenly stopped moving.
All the members gulped loudly as they looked around nervously. They are surrounded by river crocodiles. Suddenly, all the river crocodiles attacked and started biting them. "Surge" shouted the team leader as they tried to retreat. But they are quite slow and far from either side. Then they firmly moved forward while fending off the attack from the River crocodile. After a desperate struggle they got a crack. But a man was screaming.
"Dam. The savage beast" He shouted as he broke his token and disappeared then followed by three other people including the two women also breaking their tokens. The four were fire element users. One of them was even a Warrior mage. Everything is final stage. The rest of the team cursed softly as they began to move hysterically to the other side.
By the time they reached the other side, they lost another teammate and only 15 people remained in the team.
"Dam. This beast. I want to kill them all." A man shouted as he stood up.
"Stop, we need to move to a safe place. We have to attack the attacking team as fast as possible." The team leader stopped the man and led the others into the forest.
At this moment on the platform saw all the spectators whispering while glancing at the city lord. They were really fed up with Harry's actions. At a time when they were getting heated up with discussions they saw scenes of the attacking team being attacked by river crocodiles and five of them being knocked out. Their jaws are falling. They saw the scene when Sam ordered the river crocodile but they never expected this to really work. Then they see the changes on the scoreboard. There are five points next to Sam's name. The first to earn points was freshman Sam, not any senior.
"How can an attack by a river crocodile count as the point?" An elder from the city lord mansion shouted.
“He ordered the monsters to attack and they obeyed him. So, they are his subordinates, we can even refer to them as his weapons. So, of course the point is his. Even the formation spirit from the testing ground accepted it. had a problem?" An elder from the Academy platform said. Everyone was silent and did not speak.
Then suddenly the scoreboard changed again as points appeared beside the ten senior team members. Then everyone noticed that the reconnaissance team from the senior team in the cave attacked the defense and took out them only one person from the new students left. He is none other than Oliver. He was left because his fingers were not fully healed. The elder said that he needed to rest his finger for at least a month, before he could fight or do anything else. That's why he was left here and used as a cave guard. One of the seniors asked him.
"You know Sam?"
"Yes" he answered in a trembling voice. As soon as he heard the name, he involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat. He himself was unaware of it, but the seniors were aware of it. They patted his shoulder and said.
"Where is he now? In which area was he assigned?" The senior asked again.
Oliver forced himself to calm down and said in a low voice. "He's not participating with the team."
The seniors frowned and asked. "What do you mean?"
Then Oliver recounts what happened and the mood of the seniors became gloomy.
"We need to inform Philip of this." One of them said and took out a paper. But they didn't know it was too late.
Sam was running at a steady pace. He is seen by wolves, but keeps a constant distance between them. He ran straight towards the Senior team cave. After running for a while suddenly the cave entrance appeared in his view and he increased his pace.
"Philip the wolf is chasing someone, he's leading them here." A person standing guard outside the cave ran inside and said. Philip and the others ran out and looked. They don't recognize Sam. Because Sam changed clothes and covered his face. He ran in front and the wolf followed.
There were a total of thirty people inside the cave and they all came out and looked at the incoming wolf with fear. When they saw the man in front, they all wanted to greet all of his ancestors for having lured the wolves here.
Philip looked at the team members and said. "This guy must be a freshman. He must have provoked the wolves by accident and brought them here. We have to take that ball and get out of this place. Let's go."
They all went inside and then stared at the screen in astonishment. They saw five names being dimmed. They're all from the attacking squad. "Damn it, there's already someone from the attacking squad who was eliminated." Someone said through his teeth. Phil was also quite surprised. But he did not let his guard down and said. "Paul, get the ball. We gotta move fast."
All the defense teams in the cave moved towards the narrow path and then met with another defense team that had twenty members, now all fifty members started moving towards the narrow path. Although they had fifty members, the thought of fighting the wolves did not even cross their minds. They just keep running away. But how can they be faster than Sam and Wolves?
Soon Sam and the wolves meet the group. The orderly group suddenly became a chaotic horde and they all started fending off the wolves as they dashed towards the path. Sam took off the clothes that covered his real clothes and threw them away. Then he took out a large glass container that contained the same red liquid he had made and threw it into the middle of the battle while holding his breath.
Wolves and candidates begin to feel dizzy as they inhale the vapors released by the red liquid. Philip looked at Sam and the liquid he was throwing and instantly cursed.
"Fuck, hold your breath and get out of this area." He said as he moved towards the narrow path and entered it with great difficulty. Sam moved to the back of the battlefield and did not follow them towards the path. He looked at the people who had fallen unconscious on the ground along with the wolves. The cultivation of Wolves was not enough to make them as intelligent as humans. Yanwu was smart because of his high-grade bloodline.
As soon as the red smoke disappeared, Sam moved towards the unconscious senior. Of the fifty, half of them fell unconscious. All the animals fell unconscious because they were not smart enough to hold their breath. Sam slowly broke Senior's token. They disappeared and Sam looked at the wolves and pondered. Then he shook his head and rejected the idea as he walked inside the narrow path.
Sam came out the other end of the road and looked at Melisa, Jack, and Shawn. Melisa had a cheerful expression and Shawn grinned. Only Jack was as calm as ever. Sam looked into the holes and slowly took a detour around him. He then looked at Melisa and asked with a smile.
"How's that?"
Then only the three noticed Sam and almost jumped out of their skin.
"Sam, you're not as handsome as I am. So, if you startle people like that, you'll scare them to death." Shawn said in an irritated tone. Both Melisa and Jack looked at her speechlessly. Sam did not speak and immediately kicked his butt.
"Sorry sorry." As Sam was about to continue, Shawn pleaded. Then Sam slowly walked towards the hole and saw the people inside. The seniors inside all cursed.
"Our dick fell into their trap. We're done."
"Who came up with this despicable idea?"
"I want to kill them."
Actually, all the seniors were unconscious this time. It was as if Sam and the others were dropping liquid, it was long ago and the effect would diminish even if the hole was closed. That's why seniors just feel weak instead of unconscious. Sam slowly moved towards another hole and finally found someone.
He looked into the hole, it just so happened that all of Sam's friends were in it. Philip, Marvin, Freya, Haley and Paul. Everyone looked at Sam with angry eyes. Even as cold as ice Haley looked angry.
"Sam, can you be more despicable?" Marvin shouted from the hole.
"It's nice to meet you too. Marvin" Sam spoke in a tone of sarcasm. Then he looked at Philip and said.
"Philip, don't expect you to be a commander."
"me too. I didn't think you were here. I think based on Harry's character, he'll try to suppress your involvement." Philip said with a smile. Although he was angry, he was in a better mood than the other four.
"Well, you're not entirely wrong. You only give unnecessary high judgments on his intelligence. He just said that, I don't need to be part of the team and do whatever I want." Then he gestured for Melisa and the others to come and speak while pointing towards them. "These people followed me and here we are, setting up half of the Senior team." Sam brekada.
Listen to what he said. Philip and the others immediately wanted to be buried in the same hole. They felt that this year was the most embarrassing of all years for the senior team's performance.
"I guessed one thing right. You are a hassle." Philip said and gestured to Paul, who took out a golden ball from his pocket and threw it towards Sam. Sam caught it and said. "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner. So, don't fight him all right."
"Other times. At least let us fight you. You're too cruel. You didn't even give us a chance to fight and directly made us lose." Marvin complained from the side. Sam nodded and waved his hand. They all took out their tokens and broke them. Sam's points add up to five more. He then walked towards the other three. He then said. "You can take another hole. I've got enough crops." And then he moved towards the tree and leaned there to rest. The three nodded and walked towards another hole. Shawn and Melisa each collected seven points and Jack got six points. Then the three of them walked towards Sam and also sat down while waiting for Sam to recover.
As soon as Sam opened his eyes, Melisa asked. "Sam, how did you do it?"
Sam smiled and replied. “Actually, this is quite simple. The red grass came from the Myriad Illusion Snake region and only grew there. Known as the 'Mind Exterminator Grass'. If mixed with the blood of birds that are usually warmer than ordinary animals and heat it. It'll make people faint. But it only works at the Acolyte level and the person is more alert, may not even work. Then the green liquid is taken from another grass that also grows in the same region. It's called 'grass turmoil'. It would anger the people who inhaled it to immediately lose and attack their enemies crazily. I used it on the wolves and lured them towards the senior team's main camp. Then the rest you know." As soon as Sam finished, the three of them dropped their jaws. Not only them, even the spectators on the Viewing platform were all in an uproar. Sam stood up and said.
"Do you not remember the words of the elder? Everything in the forest is our resource."
