Noah went through the forest cautiously. He tried to keep a high alert so that he wouldn't get hurt a lot while walking alone in the middle of the forest, especially lest he be attacked by beasts.Screams of pain could still be heard, echoing off every tree in the forest. However, the intensity had decreased compared to when the cadets finished parachuting.There were several possibilities as to why the screams had subsided. Either the person was dead, or they had been rescued by their team members.Noah encountered several beasts with low abilities, such as goblin beasts, insect beasts, and snake beasts. It was easy for Noah to defeat them, especially when the young man already knew the weaknesses of the three beast.He lifted his head and looked up at the sky. The sun had already slipped to the west, a sign that noon was ending."I need to find shelter before nightfall," Noah muttered.Along the way to finding shelter, Noah collected a lot of firewood that he found along the way to

Kira slowly pointed to the stream that flowed right before the cave. The girl explained she had seen a glowing object from within the stream, buried not too deep.Noah, hearing the explanation, felt relieved and calm. If they had gotten the pendant, Noah and Kira needed to continue hiding until the final exam time was over."I thought it was something else, but I was surprised to find out that it was a pendant," Kira replied, releasing her hold on Noah."Now, our job is just to find Susan's whereabouts." Noah returned the precious pendant to Kira, as Kira was the only one with a large backpack behind her back. Kira nodded, accepting the pendant and storing it safely."Did you see where she was?" Noah asked Kira, to which Kira responded by shaking her head.She and Susan parachuted from different planes, also because the screams kept filling the forest, made Kira undo her intention to look for Susan. It was pretty dangerous, according to Kira, if she had searched for Susan's whereabout

After getting the pendant, Caleb returned to his team with a happy feeling. With only three hours left before midnight, Caleb considered staying in the field.Susan was still slumped over, unable to do anything but cover her face with both hands. She sat with Kira beside her, but Susan didn't see any anxious expression on Kira's face."Why aren't you as anxious as I am? We're going to fail this Final Exam, you know," Susan revealed.Kira responded by shaking her head slowly. Her eyes were still forward, looking at Noah's back. Kira didn't feel worried because Noah had a plan for this."Because Noah doesn't want to fail in his ambition to become a Beast Slayer. Just to be clear, he has a plan." Kira moved her head and focused her attention on the side, looking at Susan, w

Noah let Kira fall asleep without waking her up. One by one, the cadets arrived at the Main Hall of the London Cadet Academy in various conditions.Some were tired, fit, sleepy, and injured. Only those with minor wounds were allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony; those with significant wounds were immediately taken to a London hospital.Noah glanced back, seeing Freya and her team members arrive. They were seated at the back with a board bearing the team number 12. Freya smiled and waved as she locked eyes with Noah.The mentors sat in a reserved area at the upper podium, with chairs numbered according to their mentoring team, and Natasha was seated among the other mentors.After everyone had gathered, the head of the London Cadet Academy arrived along with a

With a single swing of Natasha's powerful lightsaber, the light of Natasha's blade managed to slice through the beast's body in a diagonal shape. The dangerous shadow beast roared loudly, its body vaporizing as if it was preparing to blow up."Theo, use your fog to contain the beast's explosion!" Natasha ordered, Theo said yes.Natasha took Theo's place to save the instructors who were entangled in chains. Theo was seen gulping down his wine, activating his skill, and spraying the wine forward.The mist appeared so thick that it filled the place. Visibility became limited. Noah could not see the center of the hall carefully.Seeing Theo's talent skill reminded Noah of his small battle with Theo while in the Artemis residence. Theo explained that whatever happened inside
