THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 32. Against the Other Half

Sam started walking as the three stared at his back in confusion. They had actually heard and remembered the elders words, but only understood now, how much those words meant.

“As for, only half of the seniors are out, there are still half of them hanging around. I don't think it'll be long before they find out something happened to their main base. Let's go to their main headquarters and rest.to mow the lawn and we can plan further." Sam said in an unusually loud tone. The three of them were quite confused but did not mention anything and followed Sam.

As soon as the four of them left, the black shadow moved and started walking in the opposite direction. He was none other than the second scout team member.

Sam stopped his steps on the narrow path and turned around completely. He grinned as he looked behind the figure moving at high speed. Sam then spoke.

"Change plans. We need to set up a huge trap inside the main cave and then find another hiding point." The three of them were clearly confused by Sam's decision and exchanged glances. Sam shook his head and said.

"Trust. The information about us being rested is already on the way to the whole team that is still out there, I really underestimated Philip. He really did a great job of forming an information network. Okay let's go before the wolves wake up. We should make preparations as early as possible." Sam said and started running towards the Senior team's main cave.

Meanwhile on the display platform. Everyone looked at Sam as if they were afraid of missing his actions. They really broaden their horizons. They see Sam exploiting the most common trap and then taking half of the Senior team alone. Although there were three others, they were really not of much help. When they looked at the screen that showed the score, they saw that out of the 55 members that were eliminated in the senior team. 35 Were under Sam and the rest of the twenty members were under the remaining three who followed Sam. The remaining freshman team really did nothing.

"This guy's too smart." One of the elders said and the rest could only nod in acceptance. Sam actually used every resource in the forest as if it was his own personal tool. They really feel that Harry made a mistake without properly utilizing him. Now, not only did he humiliate all the seniors by fooling them using this trick, he even reduced the chances of the remaining new student team. The nobles felt they should really take care of her as soon as possible. Because, with Sam's intelligence and talent as well as the way he remembers and takes revenge for all the grudges, they might actually be in trouble.

At the testing site.

While Sam and the other three were planning how to deal with the remaining senior team members, something big happened in the forest near the vicinity of the New Student base camp. This situation even distracted all the spectators on the viewing platform from Sam and his group.

Somewhere not far from the river. The senior attacking team and the junior attacking team are both in confrontation. The two attacking teams in standing positions still did not dare to make the first move at all. Although the junior attacking team had defeated the Senior attacking team more than twice as they were about thirty members and the senior team only had fifteen remaining members, the junior team is at a disadvantage as there are more late-stage Acolytes in the senior attacking team.

Harry looked at the team members from the senior attacking team with nervousness visible in his eyes. He really did not think that he would land in this kind of situation. He thought that he could go around the attacking team and then directly face the Senior defense team at their main base and try his luck to combine the balls between battles. Never in his dreams did he think that the senior attacking team would directly clash with them. He almost wanted to curse them all.

"We were lucky to meet Harry, the son of the ruler of our City, at the beginning of this competition. What do you think of all of them?" The leader of the attacking team spoke to his teammates in a sarcastic manner.

"Mason, don't be so quick to be arrogant. We haven't even fought to find out who the winner is." Harry said angrily as he heard the sarcastic attitude of the team leader.

"Well, you think too much of yourself to think that you can beat us, just because you outnumber us." Mason, who is the team leader of the senior attacking team, said. He was the son of the city guard captain. So, he clearly knew Harry and the two did not get along at all.

"You're too confident." Harry replied with a sneer.

"You could say that, because you don't outnumber us as much as you think. ATTACK!!!!!" Mason roared, but neither he nor the teammates behind him made a move. Just as Harry was getting more confused, three men suddenly came out from the ground under the freshman team and attacked by letting them off guard. They each took care of people at the same time and eliminated six from the freshman team.

The new student team was immediately in chaos. Just when Harry was about to command something and control the situation. Mason and his team moved and started attacking. Fireballs, water balls, wind blades flew as they started to hit each other. It's not at all like a battle. It's more like a mass fight.

Out of nowhere, more members from the senior team came to join the battle. Harry was sweating profusely as he tried to think of a solution. Just then there was a whistling sound as the arrows pierced through the wind and pierced through his back.

"Ohhh." Harry shouted in misery. The City Lord immediately stood in his chair when he saw his son injured. But he can't do anything.

Harry looked in the direction from which the arrow came and saw a young man in senior uniform aiming and shooting at the freshman. Harry realized that winning was impossible. 'Sabur'. This was the only thought left in his mind. Even if the team here is eliminated. He still had twenty people in defense and forty-five others in the form of various reconnaissance and battle teams. If he could escape now and gather them in the same place and fight, he might actually stay longer in the exam. This was what Harry thought as he tried to escape. Then another arrow pierced his leg. He fell down and started screaming in pain. Mason slowly moved towards him and stood in front of him. Then he made various hand seals and many vines sprouted from the ground and tied Harry in place. Then he said with a smirk.

"Harry, you better give up now and hand over the ball. You've lost."

Harry gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with aversion and hatred. He wants to shine in this competition and wants to be named the best freshman, but first Sam comes and foils his plan and now he is captured by a senior assault team and it is also in the hands of his father's subordinate son. . He felt like he was humiliated. He looked at Mason's face and wriggled out and reached into his pocket. Mason thought that he was going to break his token, so he didn't stop him. But Harry took out a silver ball and started frenziedly injecting all of his spiritual energy. Mason widened his eyes and just as he was about to make a move, he realized that it was too late. The silver ball exploded into several particles and turned into powder. Everyone saw what happened and was stunned by Harry.

"Hahahaha, If I can't have the bonus of combining balls, no one can have them." Harry said hysterically as he broke his token. All the seniors started cursing softly as they watched Harry disappear from the spot. The freshmen had a more unsightly expression when they saw the ball crumbling. They care more about the existence of the ball here than the fact that Harry has destroyed it. After all they did not have much hope of winning against the senior team. But they did not expect their team leader to be this selfish and not trust team members at all. He only wanted the points of incorporation that would definitely make him the best freshman with the highest number of points.

"Damn, badj*** this" said Mathew and then spoke to the person next to him. "Sign and tell all team members to gather in the cave. All the members back down." Mathew said as he started running. The rest of the team also followed and the seniors still continued to push with long-range attacks. By the time the remaining attacking team of the Junior team was in a safe place. They only have ten members. Mason, giving no orders to follow as he sees a scout coming towards him in a hurry. He thought that something happened and simply ordered everyone to stay.

After a while, the scouts finally reached them and said in a trembling voice. "Mathew, the main base has been infiltrated. All fifty members in the defense have died."

As soon as the other members heard this news, they were all dumbfounded. After a few seconds of silence, Mason spoke after he took a deep breath. "How's it?"

"According to the scouts from team 2, four people from the junior team, lured the group of Dark wind wolves towards our main headquarters and made them move towards the trap they had set before. Fifty members are out." Said scout.

"How do you know this?" Mason asked again after digesting the information.

“Team 1 sent us an important report that must be submitted to the main headquarters. The stakeout in charge went there and saw the scene where the scenario happened and the four freshmen discussed further action plans. Apparently, they're gonna go to our main base and hide there until we get back." The scout finished saying in one breath.

"I knew this was going to happen." The earth-magician element warrior from the Evergreen family, who was also part of the trio from the first team said with a sigh. Everyone turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Dorman, what do you mean?" ask Mason.

"Before, when we took out the defense team from the New Student team, we got informed. The man named Sam, whom Philip had warned us to have been released and three others followed him" Dorman said.

"What do you mean released?" ask Mason. But some people who saw the second half already understood.

“Actually, this Sam is a first rank candidate and he defeated the rest of the top 100 by luring them into a trap by setting up a formation. Not only was he good at hand-to-hand combat, he was also good at formations and archery. He even beats Harry when he is surrounded by all of Harry's henchmen. So, Harry took on a leadership role and then simply didn't put Sam in the team and kicked him out. What Philip said was that with Harry's petty character, he would drag Sam down by giving him the worst possible task, but he was completely overestimating Harry's intelligence. Now, Sam is not only free but also has some helpers. He would be extremely dangerous since he was extremely adept at setting up formations and plotting strategies. If we can't catch him as soon as possible, he'll get a headache." Dorman said while sighing sadly.

Mason also remembered what Philip said and so did the rest of the team. To be honest, they first thought that Philip was just exaggerating because some of them were convinced that they would not be fooled by his tricks and some people who saw the second round thought that because, they saw it, they saw it, they can avoid it. But when they heard about the news about the fifty seniors who were eliminated, they were at a loss for words about what to say. They really didn't think that Sam would be this troublesome, when they were pleased with their overwhelming victory over the freshmen, they got word that their team had been reduced by half.

"That despicable bastard He is just a trash who must use these kinds of little traps and tricks. He is nothing but a coward." As the entire team silently thought about what to do, someone cursed. As they turned towards, they saw Carl gritting his teeth and his face red with anger. Not only him, the other noble household students were all in the same state except those from the Evergreen family. Carl looked at all those gazes and said.

"I will lead a team and eliminate it." Although he did not mention who he was talking to, everyone could guess and turned their heads towards Mason.

Mason thought for a moment and said. "There's no need for you to leave. First we will attack the main headquarters of the new students and move back to deal with Sam and his followers. You've heard how he lured the pack of wolves, if we part now, the success rate is very low. We've lost more than half of our team, which is the first time in history. The highest amount that the freshmen got before against their seniors was at most less than half of our losses. We can't lose anymore and embarrass ourselves. The 2nd Scout Team will be watching them"

Everyone on the team agreed and nodded. Seeing that he was unable to convince them, Carl gritted his teeth and simply followed the team. So, all the teams started walking towards the main camp of the new students.

In the main camp of the freshmen, right at this moment, all the freshmen gathered. All the scouting teams and ambush teams all came and formed groups. Mathew took on the leadership responsibilities and spoke.

"Yes" All the freshmen shouted and started moving to take their positions. After a few minutes the senior team came. There were about 35 people on the team. Currently, the senior team had gathered all the team members on this side of the river crossing. Only ten people were left on the other side and all of them were part of the 2nd scouts team. Team 1 consists of 10 people and team 2 consists of twenty people. The people of team 2 are responsible for the transfer of information. Now, everybody get together.

The battle at the main base of the new students began and was completely one-sided. Although there were more people on the freshman team, they were completely overpowered due to the low of their cultivation base and soon they were all eliminated and the senior team had to pay the price of five people.

The senior team rested and they all remained silent. No one, happy that they lost a total of sixty people and this was a clear humiliation and all this was due to the four freshmen. In fact, it could be said that it was all because of one person. He only with the help of three others took out more than half of the team. This only made their mood even more gloomy.

After a few hours. The sun was already high in the sky and there were still over 12 hours to complete the competition. Due to the fact that Harry smashed the ball, there were only two ways to win the competition. The first is to eliminate all the candidates from the opposing team and the second is to eliminate more people than the other team before the time limit runs out. Mason rejects Carl's idea of leading the team to eliminate Sam and his friends. He doesn't want to have an accident. If Carl and the team he led were to be eliminated, he would definitely regret it.

Mason and the other team are currently at a river crossing, they investigate and further confirm that the river crocodile has gone missing, they cross the river and then start walking towards their main headquarters, On the way the other team also joined and the remaining forty people of the senior team slowly and carefully traveled until they arrived on a narrow path towards the open field before the cave of the main base them.

A team of ten people carefully traveled through the narrow route and out of the other side. When they saw that there was no trap like the hole they had seen before, they began to check the energy flow for the existence of the formation. After making sure that everything was clear, they immediately beckoned the other group members to come over.

Soon the group slowly walked into the cave and carefully entered it. On their way, they clearly saw the traces of wolves. But as for their luck, the wolves had already returned to their lair after they came to their senses. When they finally entered the cave and made sure there were no traps, they heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed a little. But Mason had a grim expression and was thinking hard.

On the viewing platform, all the spectators observed the scene without batting an eye. For, Sam and his friends are currently at the top of a small hill near the cave and are looking towards the cave.

Sam noticed the scene of Senior team entering the cave carefully as if they were walking on eggshells. He had a cold grin on his face as he looked at their expressions of concentration and alertness. The remaining three all stared at Sam waiting for his next move.

Sam looked at the cave not far away but also not close. He then took out a weapon from the black metal bow and mounted a rank arrow. He then pulled the rope to its limit and injected his golden fire energy ready to shoot at any moment. He then said to the other three.

"Prepare, we will do close combat with them after the initial attack. So, as soon as they come out of the cave, attack them with your best long-range strike. Move now and let me know if you're ready." As soon as he finished, the remaining three immediately moved. After a while the signal came and Sam immediately released the arrow.

The arrow pierced through the air and into the hole previously made by Sam and entered the cave and hit the ground in the middle with a loud explosion and the sound of broken glass could be heard as red steam immediately meet caves.

Mason immediately felt something was wrong and shouted. "THAT'S A TRAP GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!". But it's too late. Some of the people inside the cave had already fallen unconscious and the rest ran out. Just as they were trying to catch their breath, they suddenly felt danger. Mason immediately looked around and he suddenly felt an acute pain in his leg. He looked down and saw an arrow piercing through it and then he looked in the direction it came from. He looked at the black-clothed figure as his outer cloth swayed slightly in the wind. The man had a bow in his hand as he shot arrow after arrow at the senior team, at such a high speed that he could not even see his movements.

He came out of his daze and turned towards his teammates to give the order to hide, but he saw them all being attacked by various long-range attacks. Some people were hit on the ground and some people were attacked by some flying daggers, some water balls could also be seen. He yelled. "Be careful. Keep to yourself." He shouted again as he took cover behind the thinking stone.

Soon the seniors came to their senses and began to defend themselves, By the time they took refuge and the commotion subsided, they saw only fifteen team members were still conscious. There were about ten people who had fallen unconscious on the ground and the senior team's morale had died down.

"Don't worry, they haven't been eliminated. As long as we can take them down and not let them damage the tokens of our team members, we can save them." Mason yells at his team members as he tries to boost their morale. All the seniors looked at their friends and then exchanged glances. Shortly after, someone spoke.

"Yo, kids. Is that all you got? Is this little trick the only thing you know? If you have the guts, come and fight me?"

"Yeah, what's your leader's name again? Sam, right? I heard you were so great at close combat and didn't fear anyone. Why don't you come out and let us see for ourselves?"

"Why don't you guys come out?"

"Come, let's fight one on one rather than this cheap trick."

Everyone started provoking Sam and the others as they continued to spew endless nonsense.

Not far away Sam and the other three were also hiding behind rocks. Now that the seniors were on guard against them, it was almost impossible to strike at long range. Sam heard the provocation with an amused smile. Suddenly, he heard Shawn shouting from the side.

"You all call yourself seniors. The four of us and you guys are over ten and some of you even have cultivation above us. And you have the guts to ask us to fight head-on." he sneered loudly. Soon all provocations subside. Suddenly, another voice came from the senior side.

"Sam, you despicable bastard. Come out if you're really a man. If I don't make you regret living today, I won't call myself Carl anymore." Hearing this all the seniors looked confused and dumbfounded. Then another scream came.

"You village hick, come out and accept your fate."

"You trash, come on if you have the guts."

All the noble family students in the senior team insulted Sam. The other seniors felt quite confused.

"Sam was at odds with all the noble families except the Evergreen family. Because of that feud he deliberately targeted all the other candidates of the noble family and eliminated them very early in the second round. Now only Harry and the candidate of the Evergreen family are the only students belonging to the noble family in the freshman." Dorman explained to the remaining seniors and a consciousness appeared on them. They feel this Sam is crazy for feuding with noble families and eliminating juniors from the family makes them fail in acceptance. 'No wonder, this Carl and the others are all angry.' Everybody thinks. Then Dorman continued.

"Carl had an extra reason. He lost the bet to Philip and five thousand Spirit stones were lost because Sam defeated his cousin in the second round." Everyone looked at Carl with a strange look. 'Why bother betting and why bother taking it on someone who doesn't even know you're losing because of him? Damn, so much for being a noble. You may also blame the tree, because the bird that poops on you has a nest on it.' All the slightly broad-minded seniors had thoughts like this.

Carl glared at Dorman and then he felt the gazes of all the other seniors he felt extremely embarrassed and shouted. "SAM, I'LL KILL YOU TODAY."

While Melisa and the others were all staring at Sam, whose expression grew even colder upon hearing all the insults being hurled at him. Sam suddenly stood up and pulled out a stick. This was not the black stick he used yesterday. Instead, it was golden in color and shone brightly under the sun. The stick has a smooth surface and there is a 'Double S' (Cover) symbol near one end of the stick and there are several carvings nearby. Sam looked at the three and said.

"Protect me from afar. You don't have to attack anyone. All you have to do is distract them if anyone tries to sneak up on me from behind." Sam said and started walking.

"Sam. It's dangerous." Melisa said from behind. But all he got was a cold look that seemed to say. 'Do what I say'. He left without turning around.

As soon as the senior saw someone walking towards them, they looked towards him and saw Sam walking towards them with a golden stick in his hand. His face was ice-cold and the aura around him was completely cold and evil. Sam's expression was now completely sinister as he stopped a few meters away from them. He then held the stick at one end and kept the other end on his shoulder and said in an emotionless voice.

"Those who call me can come and say all the nonsense in front of me. Of course, the context is that you dare say that." Her voice was soft but cold. He did not even glance at them when speaking and looked to the side as if it was beneath him to look at them and treat them as thin air. The seniors looked at his arrogant demeanor and felt like they were humiliated. But none of them moved and looked towards the seniors who called Sam and waited. Immediately, about seven members came out from their hiding places as they stared at Sam with angry eyes. They were instructed by the family. 'Kill him, if there's a chance.' Even though they knew that Sam could escape once he broke the token, they still had to try their luck.

The seven men surrounded Sam. There were three who were in the late stage Acolytes and all of them were seventh stage. Carl is one of them and is the only witch warrior. The remaining four were all middle-level Acolytes. Of the three were at the fifth stage and the last one was at the sixth stage. Sam looked at them nonchalantly as if he did not have any pressure. This made them even more furious and one of the men on the stage was moving. He was a warrior and swung his sword at Sam with a ferocious aura. But just as he was about to hit, his target disappeared and appeared behind one of the Acolyte center stage, which did not move.

Before anyone could understand how Sam escaped, they saw Sam swinging his staff at extreme speed. All they saw was a blurred shadow of gold and a flash of golden fireball at the point of contact between the stick and the person. Therehewas. Before they were conscious, a golden fire explosion occurred and at the moment the fire was extinguished, they saw the hit senior lying unconscious with his body charred black.

They all looked to where Sam was standing and before they could understand the situation, they saw another blur and another man was also charred black as if he was burnt in a fire. This time Sam did not move and stood there. He placed a foot on the man's face and placed a stick on his shoulder and looked at all the seniors who came out of their hiding and observed them with his cold gaze.

Then everyone there heard Sam say. "Curtain, Tch. Too bad they fainted." Then he looked at Carl and said. "You're right to call me trash. After all, they're still breathing."
