Dr. Nana finished making warm porridge for Kira. Kira accepted the porridge and ate it with gusto. Noah was happy to see her eating the porridge happily."So, you're in the same group for the Final Exam?" Dr. Nana pulled out one of the chairs and sat to the right of the bed where Kira was still lying. Kira was still busy with her food, Noah had to answer Nana's question."Right, with another girl named Susan," Noah said."I always remember those Final Exams, full of suspense and pain," Nana replied.Noah squinted when he heard Nana's statement. None of the three in the group knew exactly what the final exams looked like, especially the suspense and pain Nana had described.The young man only knew that he and his group members
***Two days later.London Cadet Academy."Hey, you already lost against us. You have to keep your word!" Kira sternly spoke to Susan while the class was on lunch break. Noah just watched and didn't help Kira force Susan.Noah was confused. What exactly made her hate him and Kira? Noah didn't feel like he had done anything wrong, intentional or not, to Susan. Kira didn't seem to either —considering Kira's quiet nature."What a noise! Can't you see I'm busy?" Susan asked, showing Kira a book."What's the need to learn that book if you're not training to be strong?!" snapped Kira, trying to snatch it out of Susan's hand.The book Susan was holding was a beast encyclopedia. The 500-page volume contained hundreds of beasts with different characteristics, which had been recorded before.According to Susan, a trainee cadet needs to know the characteristics of the beasts they will fight later. Only a fool would continue to train hard without knowing the weaknesses of the beasts they would fa
***Three days later.London Cadet Academy.Since the night incident, Susan began participating in preparation exercises with Noah and Kira. Not only that, but Susan also participated in explaining about various ordinary-level beasts that she had remembered through the beast encyclopedia.According to Susan, the beasts appearing during the exam would undoubtedly be ordinary-level beasts. The Beast Slayer's higher-ups must have arranged precautions so the cadet candidates would not encounter dangerous level beasts.That day was the last day Noah and his team members practised. Since yesterday, the other teams have stopped training and are fully rested for tomorrow's Final Exam.Noah, Kira, and Susan were forced to use their rest time to practice, especially attack and defense combo exercises. Susan apologized that her attitude the other day was causing Kira and Noah trouble at the moment, Noah and Kira didn't mind at all.The three sat on the arena floor, their bodies covered in sweat.
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
"I heard you managed to defeat Talon. Is it true?" asked Freya's teammate, Noah knew him as Allen."Aren't you from A class?" asked Noah.Allen shook his head. He was from C class, where C class had never had a sparring match with A class. However, news spread quickly among the cadets in the academy, especially about the best cadet being defeated by a loser cadet who couldn't even use magic.Noah had expected the news to spread like a virus through the air so even the cadets in C class would know that Noah had defeated Talon."It seems so." Noah was still standing at the cave entrance, and it was his turn to stand guard in the rain, still falling. The intensity of the rain was not as great as before; only a small trickle remained."No wonder you were able to kill those three beasts," Allen pointed out."I managed to defeat those beasts because I put my training and knowledge of their characteristics to good use. My victory against Talon has nothing to do with my victory against the be
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
***The next day.Noah woke up from his sleep, seeing the sunlight beginning to peek out and illuminate the forest. The young man glanced to the side and saw Kira fast asleep on the wooden hut floor, her tiny body wrapped in a blanket.A faint sound came from outside as Noah tried to slowly open the hut's door. The sound made Noah abandon his attempt."We need to find the rest of the cadet team immediately; perhaps they already have the pendant," says someone sternly, like a leader speaking to his men.Noah peered through the hut's window, seeing that the person in question was Caleb. Caleb's team was near the stream, with his teammates and a woman Noah was familiar with, Susan."It's Susan," Noah whispered.The young man poked Kira's leg, causing the petite girl to wake up instantly and look at Noah, who was vigilantly looking out the hut's window."What's wrong, Noah?" asked Kira."Shush!""Caleb's team is near the river," Noah replied.Kira was startled, sat up slowly, stepped clos
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
The nurse emerged from the duty doctor's office, planning to return to Noah's treatment room. Natasha saw the nurse and told her that she would take care of Noah.The nurse didn't object. She told her that Noah needed to eat a lot of nutrients to restore his condition, and Natasha would prepare the fruits that Noah's body needed.The door to Noah's room opened again. Of Noah's entire body, only his head could be moved temporarily. Noah turned his head and saw the beautiful woman who had hugged him earlier coming back."You're... Natasha, right?" asked Noah.Hearing such a question was heartbreaking for Natasha. Natasha tried to strengthen her heart and not to cry in front of Noah, of course, so that he wouldn't worry."Did th
Noah was still feeling the effects of Mystic Samsara's power. Although Noah was awake, he was still weak enough to move his arms and legs. He could only lie on the bed with the sound from his mouth sounding soft.The nurse managed to contact Natasha. Just as the nurse predicted, Natasha sounded so happy and excited to hear that Noah had woken up.Natasha, who was at the Artemis residence, hurriedly left the place for the London hospital. She couldn't wait to see Noah, who had been unconscious for a long time."Do you feel any particular pain, Mr. Noah?" asked the doctor."What's going on?" asked Noah, as the doctor turned his head to the side to look at the nurses nearby."Ms. Natasha will explain many things to you. For now,
Three days laterLondon hospital.It was Natasha's turn this time to look after Noah. That afternoon, Natasha had nothing to do, either at the Artemis residence or at the main headquarters.Charlotte's persuasion of Samuel fails. Samuel still insisted on refusing Kira's leave. As a result, Kira had to go with Aiden's team on a cleanup mission even though Kira hated it."Breaking News!" said the news anchor, displaying video footage from someone showing the figures of thousands of beasts charging from the depths of the forest near the City of Edinburgh.All the TV channels were reporting the same thing, an impromptu and massive attack by the beasts on the city of Edinburgh. The enormous attack targeted the beast slayer's
***The next day.Noah's infirmary.London hospital.Susan arrived at the hospital with a parcel. Susan hasn't seen Noah since he was hospitalized. This time, it was her first time visiting Noah.The location of Noah's infirmary was on the fourth floor, a first-class room commonly used by certain beast slayer soldiers. Noah occupied it because of his closeness to the Legion.The door to the room was knocked softly, someone with a soft voice said from inside, asking Susan to come in.When the door opened, she saw Kira near Noah's patient bed. Susan saw Noah's unconscious condition, with the help of an air mask on his nose.
It was obvious that the group of beast slayer soldiers who had previously fought with the legendary-level beasts were seriously injured. Two were in critical condition, while the rest were unconscious with minor injuries.Charlotte discovered that one of the injured beast slayer soldiers was Noah, the man she had slept with.Now, he was one of the two in critical condition, requiring immediate treatment to recover.Charlotte and Theo ordered the main force that came with her to rescue the victims. While the troops were rescuing the beast slayers, Charlotte and Theo decided to circulate the place to ensure the park's safety."Do you feel anything, Theo?" asked Charlotte, Theo nodded."The poisonous mist inside the park is star
Noah still hadn't moved from his current spot. He couldn't fight the Legendary Level Beast without leaving his current position.Right behind Noah, Kira and Sean fainted unconscious from the beast's attack, while Talon was still lying on the ground covered in blood from the impact of his severed leg.Seeing the condition of Noah's three friends made Noah unable to leave his current place. The best option for Noah was to keep attacking and not leave them.The beast in front of Noah roared again, making noise in both of Noah's ears. Blood flowed out of both ears, as the eardrums were damaged by the beast's shrill cry.Tree beasts rose from underground, there were hundreds of them. The legendary-level beast was still standing in the back row, taking cover using a shield fro
"A legendary-level beast? This can't be happening," Talon complained.His legs and arms were trembling with fear, his face pale white like the color of milk. His eyes darted violently upwards, at the 15-meter-tall beast's face with a white pattern on its forehead."What should we do, Noah?" asked Talon.Talon turned his head to the side, looking at Noah with a deathly fearful expression on his face. Noah couldn't do much either, a legendary-level beast wasn't something he could handle.According to the explanation from the beast encyclopedia at the academy, legendary-level beasts could only be fought by the Legions, with their combined strength. For a cadet like Noah, it was difficult to defeat a legendary-level beast, unless Noah had extraordinary abilities hidden away."Take a picture of the beast and send it to the Beast Slayer Headquarters in London. Let them send the Legion to deal with it," Noah explained, Talon nodded in understanding.He held his wrist and pressed his watch,
After getting exact information about the plan presented by Noah. The commander of the Sevenoaks City army immediately divided his troops into two stations.The first was the rescue station, tasked with evacuating the civilians stung by the purple bees away from the city's main street.The second was the protection station, in charge of protecting Kira who would fulfill her role, spawning a black hole to suck up all the purple bees in several parts of the city.And the main team itself would be assigned to Deer Park. Responding to the outbreak of purple bee attacks after Noah took down three purple trees in the park indicates that Noah's actions were correct.The Beast living in Deer Park responded to Noah's actions by stopping the fog and sending hundreds of thousands o
***The next day.Sevenoaks City.As morning came, something surprising happened. The thick fog that should have enveloped the city, slowly began to fade and diminish.The density of the fog was reduced, the residents were happy, as were the police and beast slayer members. They expressed their joy by running around outside while taking off their masks.Although the fog was not completely gone, they felt that it was much better than before.Their eyes no longer stung, the foul odor was gone, their sense of smell no longer hurt, and their breath was as long as ever."Talon!" called a member of Talon's team, waking Talon who was st
