Soon, teacher Marvin finally entered the ss 1S- ssroom.
"Today is the start of the 4th week, so everyone should now be feeling the real pressure for theing end of the monthpetition, right?" Teacher Marvin asked with augh.
The faces of the 1S-, except for Leo, Alfred, and Angel suddenly became really ugly the moment teacher Marvin mentioned about the end of the monthpetition. Obviously, they were still not prepared for it.
"Basing from your faces, it seems like the third week wasn''t enough to prepare yourselves for the end of the monthpetition. No worries though..." Teacher Marvin said with a smile on his face.
Teacher Marvin suddenly took a chalk from the side of the ckboard as he went to write two words on the ckboard.
"What do you mean about Eastern Coast teacher Marvin?" The nerd looking guy, who Leo remembered was named Vista, can''t help but asked.
"Silver Mage Academy would be sending all the first-year students to Eastern Coast for an entire week. The purpose? Simple, to personally train all of you!" Teacher Marvin answered.
"Personally train? You mean the Silver Mage Academy would be training us, as in personally!" Anabelle can''t help but exim.
"That sounds great! No, it sounds really fantastic!" Isabe added while feeling excited.
"So, to help the 1st year students, Silver Mage Academy thought of personally training all of us?!" Vista exined the reason he had thought in his mind.
"Yes, and no!" Teacher Marvin replied, "Silver Mage Academy would indeed personally train you, but unfortunately it is not to help you..."
"Huh?"
"They would personally train us, but not to help us? Is your brain malfunctioning, teacher Marvin?"
"Indeed, training us is the same as helping us teacher Marvin!"
Hearing the voices of his students, teacher Marvin just let out augh before he exined, "If you call making you suffer helping, then you''re correct of saying that Silver Mage Academy is helping you!"
Everyone quickly quiet down the moment they heard teacher Marvin said ''making them suffer''.
Teacher Marvin had always been a person that doesn''t hide anything from his student. The moment he sees hope or even a slight bit of misunderstanding in his students, he would quickly clear that out by revealing the whole truth in a straight to the point type of answer.
Hence, the moment teacher Marvinughs at them, which for them was actually a mockingugh, it made everyone quickly quiet down as they already knew that the real exnation would now begin.
"Silver Mage Academy would be sending you to the Eastern Coast for a trialpetition that willst for exactly 6 days!"
"All the 1st year students would be sent out in a deserted ind, not to survive, but to eliminate each other!"
"The rule is simple. Each of the 1st year ss, from 1E- to 1S+, would be assigned a base in a form of a Nexus around the deserted ind. This Nexus would be akin to your lifeline, hence the moment another ss steals or destroys it, all of you will immediately be eliminated from the trialpetition. The moment a Nexus is destroyed, the ss that destroyed it would earn 100 points. The points earned would act as the score, and whoever ss earns the most amount of points when the trialpetition ends would receive a reward!"
"What kind of reward, teacher Marvin?" The muscr student who Leo remembered was named Bali, suddenly asked.
"That would remain as a secret until the end of thepetition!" Teacher Marvin replied.
Whether teacher Marvin reveals the reward or not, each one of them naturally knew already that the reward would be something really helpful to them for the uing end of the monthpetition.
"As your teacher, I would naturally be your coach for thispetition. So, I will brief you about the students you should be paying attention to and the different kinds of strategies that can be used in this deserted ind." Teacher Marvin said as he threw a map up in the air and casted a Magic spell to make it float.
"This is the map of the entire deserted ind!" Teacher Marvin described.
The so-called deserted ind presented in front of everyone wasn''t just any ordinary ind. In fact, it was an ind that everyone was extremely familiar with, Floating Mountain!
Floating Mountain is one of the average wilderness within the Silver Kingdom territory, specifically to the far Eastern region.
The Floating Mountain isn''t literally floating though, it was only called that way since the mountain that made up the entire ind itself was located in the middle of the ocean. Also, this mountain is not just any ordinary mountain as it actually has a form like those of an iceberg; the mountains lower half could only be seen underneath the ocean while only its upper half can be seen up in the surface, hence earning the name Floating Mountain.
Floating Mountain is also a really big mountain, its diameter is estimated to be around 150-200 kilometers big. So, it''s expected that it would have a really wide area for every 1st year students to run and hide around the entire ce. To be honest, the ind is so wide that every ss can basically build their individual Viges around the mountain without affecting the other Viges.
However, what everyone should really pay attention to was that the Floating Mountain might sound safe, since it''s just rated as an average wildness, but that''s actually only the case if a person looked at the ind itself and not the sea surrounding the ind.
The sea surrounding the Floating Mountain is called Shark Cemetery. It''s called that way because the amount of Magical Beast Sharks living in the Shark Cemetery is so numerous just like the amount of dead people in a cemetery. To be honest, even calling the ce a cemetery seems to be underestimating the amount of Magical Beast Sharks living in that ce. In fact, the Magical Beast Sharks living in the Shark Cemetery are so many to count to the point that going towards the Floating Mountain by boat is akin to a personmitting suicide. The moment a boat enters its water, in just a few hours or so, the boat would sink beneath the ocean''s floor. This was already proven and tested by numerous ships, something even much more bigger than boats.
So, the only way to go to Floating Mountain is by using Magical Airboats. Though, even the Airboats doesn''t necessarily mean that it would be safe travel for them since powerful Magical Beast Sharks can actually fly.
*Gulp!
Numerous sound of gulping down a mouthful of saliva could be heard around the silent ssroom.
Leo who was always fearless was also feeling a bit afraid about this so-called training. Even Angel, one of the young elites of Sword and Magic, also felt afraid.
"Can we ask for a leave, teacher Marvin?" Alfred suddenly asked.
"Actually, you can! But you will leave Silver Mage Academy forever!" Teacher Marvin replied with a smile. It would really be foolish for the Silver Mage Academy to allow its student to easily ask for a leave, right? Hence, the only way to exempt the students from this trialpetition is to be expelled from Silver Mage Academy forever.
"Oh, never mind! Hehehe, I''m so excited for this trip!" Alfred quickly took back what he had just said.
