[WARNING! A powerful predator has been discovered!]

[You have encountered a Barracuda Fish!]

[Support system tip: Escape!]

“Game on!” Eliot was excited.

The Barracuda of the West was huge.

Almost 3 times as big as the average Chinook Salmon in this hunt force, the Salmon fish could not help but be intimidated on the first sight of the beast.

This was the first time that they were hunting a beast bigger than them.

Most times, ex chief only targeted fish schools that were smaller and weaker than them, this was the safest avenue to eat and grow in his opinion.

But not anymore, chief Eliot was different.

Despite this Barracuda not evolving to access magic yet, it was clear that he was a veteran hunter. This muscular fish with its streamlined, torpedo-shaped body screamed danger no matter how you looked at it.

Its mouth was equipped with an impressive set of razor-sharp teeth.

It looked even more menacing due to its lower jaw jutting out past its upper jaw, exposing its dozens of terrifying teeth as if to serve as deterrence to enemies.

A few days of training did not make Eliot feel overconfident.

He was still grounded in reality, he knew how dangerous this endeavor was but it triggered his adrenaline, he was determined to pass this test with his school.

“Commander Bonkers, strategic retreat”.

Bonkers retreated with his scouting unit immediately.

“Commander Bomber, advance, surround the target…,” Eliot paused mid-sentence, his eyes widened into saucers.

The giant Barracuda fish just turned its head and looked at him.

At this moment, their eyes clashed in the water.

At that moment, Eliot felt that his gills stopped working as time seemed to freeze before him, the atmosphere turned oppressive as invisible sparks filled the water as if drumbeats of war were being played.

In reality, the staring contest only lasted 2 seconds.

The Barracuda grinned. “Chinook Salmon, it’s been long I tasted those”.

“Free food!” This fish cheered.

Then…

BOOM!

The Barracuda fish rapidly accelerated!

Like an arrow shot through the water, this gigantic fish rapidly accelerated towards the fish at the center of the formation, chief Eliot.

“…!” Eliot’s brain froze.

A moment of crisis!

A normal human soul would remain frozen at this moment, overwhelmed by the feeling of crisis and impending doom but Eliot was not overwhelmed.

‘Eliot, wake up, you have an evolution theory test in 5 minutes!’

‘Eliot, get prepared, you have a chaos theory test in 10 minutes!’

This moment of crisis was unlike those crazy tests by Professor Gagam, they literally gave Eliot so many heart attacks that he became used to crisis moments.

At this moment, Eliot’s brain became completely calm and focused.

‘Approximately 80kmp speed, I have no hopes of reacting fast enough’.

He remained calm. ‘Unless an outside force acts on it’.

At the same time that he thought this, Commander Bomber who was closest to the chief reacted at that moment.

If the chief screamed danger and run, Commander Bomber would have been the 2nd fastest fish to react and escape but since the chief said that they came here to hunt, an aggressive nature already settled in this Salmon’s head.

As soon as the Barracuda moved, adrenaline flooded this fish’s body.

The Barracuda used the dash skill to rapidly close the distance and at that moment, being faster than the chief, Commander Bomber was able to react.

Activating the dash skill also, this Chinook Salmon accelerated.

BAM!

Commander Bomber collided against the side of the Barracuda’s dangerous looking torpedo-shaped body as the head of this Salmon cracked, revealing blood.

Commander Bomber didn’t feel pain though as adrenaline flooded him.

‘This is my chance!’ Eliot thought as soon as the collision happened.

With that collision, an opposing force collided against the Barracuda’s force of movement, negating his unstoppable momentum and giving Eliot time to react.

Eliot did not try to escape though; he was as calm as a Pope at this moment.

He didn’t come here to escape; he came here to hunt.

‘Bomber’s charge messed up his momentum and balance’.

‘His perfect guard has been affected’.

‘His fleshy and vulnerable side is now open for attack…!’

Whoosh!

All these thoughts went through Eliot’s head in an instant when he came to his decision as activating the dash and bite skills at the same time, he charged.

Before the Barracuda fish could react…

CRUNCH!

Eliot’s teeth crushed into the flesh of the Barracuda’s body.

The Barracuda instantly lashed around in pain.

That moment of disorientation was all the attack unit needed.

“Bomber, containment strategy”. Eliot instructed.

“Containment strategy!” The commander of the attack unit roared.

Instantly, all 8 Chinook Salmon surrounded the gigantic Barracuda, enveloping it inside a circular formation that they already practiced countless times.

“How dare you bite me you little worm?!” The Barracuda roared after regaining its orientation as it turned to glare at the culprit, chief Eliot.

It barely turned when the containment strategy kicked in.

Crunch! Crunch!

From its back, the 2 Chinook Salmon of the attack unit there attacked aggressively as they tore chunks of flesh from it, including a part of its tail fin.

“Worm…!!!”

The Barracuda turned to face these 2 fish and the others attacked.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

They bit ruthlessly into the exposed weak spots on its body.

The Barracuda fish was not prepared for this.

The containment strategy entailed surrounding the target, overwhelming him with numbers. And since he can only focus on one enemy, while he focuses on one of the fish, that fish defends while the others attack aggressively.

Repeat this sequence so fast that you give the target no chance to understand the essence of the strategy and retaliate.

This was chief Elliot’s containment strategy.

Click! Click! Click!

The Barracuda’s danger sense finally tingled and he reacted by violently closing its jaws and clashing its teeth, producing an aggressive clicking noise.

This sound always scared away most predators that were his size, but not this time. Led by their chief, since he didn’t move, none of the Salmon fish of the attack unit moved as they ignored the aggressive clicking sound.

‘How?!’ This Barracuda fish was stunned.

There was no evidence though, the hunt continued under the influence of the chief while being led openly by the powerful commander Bomber.

From the moment of the Barracuda’s sudden charge to eliminate the chief, the fight only lasted 35 seconds before the killing blow was landed.

“Allow me!” Eliot roared at them and they obliged.

CRUNCH!

His rows of teeth sunk into the Barracuda’s head, ending its life for good.

Its eyes as life faded away from them were filled with regret and shock.

[You have killed a Barracuda fish!]

[You have been rewarded with XP!]

[You have fulfilled the requirements to level up!]

[You have leveled up!]

[Congratulations! You are now a level 3 Chinook Salmon!]

[Your attributes have increased…]

    “Ok, ok, this is how we’ll do it”. Eliot faced his assistant. “We have to trim the options down so we’ll use this strategy”. “Which of them do you hate the most?” “We’ll use that to narrow them down first”. Eliot barely finished when ex chief roared. “Definitely those f*ckers!” Eliot stared at him. “Who?” “Those f*ckers!” ‘Damn, I swear I’ll kill this mother*cker one day’. Eliot thought in exasperation as he glared at ex chief. “Who?!” “Ahh…, sorry, it’s those Mata Mata”. “Gosh, they’re so arrogant”. “They kill with style, so arrogant and foolish!” Ex chief stared at Eliot again. “Not only them, the Vampire fish crew too but unlike the Mata Mata, I truly fear them”. “Even during the days of Chief, their raids left us with huge casualties”. “I don’t want us to fight them”. “The Stingray clan too, I hate them”. “And the Tiger Fish clan too, those f*ckers!” “And I think…” “Wait!” Eliot stopped him. “I think that’s enough”. “Let’s narrow it down further, tell me about th

    Rustle!The leaves on the seabed waved gently to the rhythm of the water even as the waves hit against the coral reef, leaving behind a whistling sound.Whoosh!The sound of the waves hitting against solid ground reverberated in intervals, giving Eliot the clue he needed that land was probably nearby.‘This proves that there’s definitely a beach nearby or something’.‘I can’t wait to be level 5 to truly check it out’. He felt excited.The home of the Goliath Tigerfish clan was at another edge of the coral reef and at these early hours of the morning, it was as silent as a graveyard.Around the lair of the Tigerfish was a gathering of sea plants that did a good job in hiding the tiny entrance that led into the lair of these fish.Their chief was clearly intelligent to make this place their lair.It was what kept them alive and thriving for so long.Discovering this place was a testament to Commander Bonkers’ ability and the overall ability of the scouting department of the fish school.

    “Danger!”“Run!”“Run!”If the Goliath Tigerfish that could speak reacted like this, what was the reaction of the poor weaker and undeveloped ones?It was a pretty chaotic sight.The Goliath Tigerfish that reacted on time charged out of their lair filled with panic, forgetting the fact that they were safest when cohesive inside their lair.Instantly after they came out, the defense department reacted.“Kill!” Commander Blinky roared.The 25 Salmon Fish of the defense department went on the attack led by their Commander. In this scenario, with at least 3 Salmon fish ganging up on 1 Goliath Tigerfish, the Tigerfish stood no chance.The 11 Tigerfish that charged out of the lair would meet death in no time.Not all the Tigerfish were awake yet though, some of them slept deeper and for others, even if they woke up, they didn’t know how to react to the sudden situation that befell their clan.And besides, with the strongest of the clan having woken up ahead of time and reacted by panicking,

The 5 Piranha fish were having the time of their lives. It was early morning and they already encountered this tasty treat, they would not be Piranhas if they did not take advantage of the opportunity to get as much free food as they wanted. “…!” Commander Blinky was petrified in shock on seeing them. This fish felt like she was seeing ghosts. The arrival of the Piranha fish threw all the raid plans down the drain. The Chief was good at creating strategies to turn tides around in battle but before overwhelming power, strategy meant nothing. No amount of strategy would make the school of Salmon fish suddenly good enough to take on these hyper aggressive predators. By now, after the death of their chief, the Goliath Tigerfish clan was already coming really close to extinction by the hands o

    The chase was on! WHOOSH! “Badump!” “Badump!” Feeling the friction as the 5 Piranha fish divided the water apart, rapidly carving their way through with aggressive intent right behind him, Eliot felt like he was a convict on death row that was about to be hanged to death. He felt like a sword of Damocles was hovering right above him. “Badump!” “Badump!” His heart rapidly beat against his chest aggressively. Despite the adrenaline and the physical state of his body though, in his mind, Eliot was eerily calm as he rapidly analyzed his options. His decision to attack and lead the 5 Piranha fish away from his subordinates was a radical one, a decision that he came to on the spot without having the time or luxury to think too much about it or its repercussions. It was while he escaped now that the repercussions of his decision started flowing back into his head, painting his fate a grim one. ‘Where can I go to?’ ‘Where can I hide?’ ‘The lair?’ ‘No!
