"By the way, Irene, you haven't answered why you were looking for me" I said.
"Ah about that, at first I want to find you to work together in completing this test, but seeing that we both have 20 medals, it seems we do not need to work together anymore" said Irene.
"But we're working together now to find another medal, well even though it's for Chloe, Julie, Noa and Kotaro" he said.
"Well you're right too, let's hurry to explore our destination area" Irene said.
"Yes" I said.
We both rushed to the area.
-
A few moments before.
"From what I know, we're in the forest in the west. Duke's residence is in the northern part. In the central and southern parts there are meadows and hills. In the eastern part there is another forest that is approximately the same size as the forest in the western part. While the river divides the north and south, the river divides from the eastern forest, then into the grasslands in the middle and through the western forest as well" said Chloe.
"You're great too Chloe, can know all the areas that are here. Is it because you've explored all those areas so you know?" asked Noa.
"I haven't explored all the areas, I just looked at the areas from a distance and assumed so" Chloe said.
"Although that's just an assumption, at least we have a rough map of the areas in this place. Then let's go for the team. We're going to divide 3 teams to explore this forest area that's in the west, then the forest in the east, and the southern area,"
"Irene and I will explore the forest in the east, Kotaro, Lily and Leandra will explore the area in the south, and Noa, Julie, Chloe and Lillian will explore this forest. Do you guys mind sharing this team?," I asked.
"I don't mind anyway, but are you okay with Rid being alone with Irene?" asked Chloe.
"The two of me with Irene are enough to explore the forest in the east, while the forest in the west is to be explored by many people because I'm afraid the people who attacked Noa are still wandering in this forest," my spoken.
"That's it, all right," said Chloe.
"Alright, then let's start exploring now. We will explore for 1 hour and collect as many medals. After that we will regroup in the middle area while exploring that area. After everyone has won 20 medals, we will head to the North area to return to the Duke's residence" I said.
"Ready," said the other.
Then we all started to explore our respective destinations.
-
In the forest east.
"In the deepest part of this forest, I defeated the soldiers who attacked me and let them be eaten by the monsters. I wonder if those monsters have eaten them all or not" I thought.
"It looks like the medals in this place are no longer there, have they been taken?" said Irene.
"We continue the search who knows there are still medals that have not been taken" I said.
"All right," said Irene.
We continued our search in the forest. We managed to find some medals that had not been taken. So far we have managed to find 4 medals.
"It seems that there are not many medals left because there is already a lot taken. Do we hunt other students?" asked Irene.
"Did you get a medal by attacking another student, Irene?" I asked.
"I didn't attack them first, but they attacked me first. I beat them and took their medals" Irene said.
"So yeah, I also got a medal from the student who attacked me first. I don't really like attacking them first so I don't agree with your idea" I said.
"I'm just kidding, I know that you won't agree with the idea" Irene said.
We continued our medical search.
A few minutes later.
On the other side of the forest, we found another disciple who was gathering. They number about 20 people.
"Rid Archie and the ice princess?" said one of the students.
The other disciples looked at us and they were surprised.
"I don't recognize them, it looks like they're students from another class" I said.
"Looks like that, we just leave them and continue to look for other medals" said Irene.
"All right," I said.
We walked away from them. But when we left, there was someone who prevented us from leaving.
"Where are you two going ? It just so happens to see you two here which is ranked 1st and 2nd in the first year. You must have many medals, hand over your medals or we will all take them by force" said one of the students.
All the gathered disciples started to hold their weapons and prepared to attack.
"When we come here there is no intention to attack them, but they will attack us" I said.
"Of course not, I already told you," I said.
Irene and I were also ready to hold our weapons. They all started to attack us.
-
In the meadow at the foot of the hills to the south.
"I'm sorry Kotaro, it seems that because the two of us are not human races, our team is being attacked continuously by other students" said Leandra.
"It's okay, just relax. But that way we can also all take their medals after we beat," said Kotaro.
"You are right too" said Leandra.
"If you both live in my former country, you can definitely blend in with the other races. My former country does not discriminate the races of those who live there. But still every country has its own shortcomings, my country which used to also have shortcomings. So our family chose to move and live in the kingdom of San Fulgen. Forget about it, let's continue to explore this area," said Kotaro.
-
In the forest to the west.
"It seems that because of you, we are not attacked by another student, Chloe," Noa said.
"It seems so, we just passed by another student with a large number but they did not attack us. Instead they look scared" Julie said.
"Maybe it was just a coincidence ? you know, Julie, if I've been attacked by other students before?" asked Chloe.
"Well right, why do they seem to have no intention of attacking us?" asked Julie.
"So, let's continue our search for the medal, ' Chloe said.
-
1 Hour later.
We also gathered in the middle area because we had explored our respective destination areas.
"We only got 11 medals" Chloe said.
"We got 24 medals" Kotaro said.
"If we get 43 medals" I said.
Those who heard this were surprised.
"How can you and Irene get that many medals?" asked Chloe.
"Well let's just say we're both lucky to find that many medals" I said.
Then we started to combine all the medals you found and give them to Julie, Chloe, Noa and Leandra whose medal count is still lacking.
"Thank you all for helping, thanks to this me, Julie, Noa and Kotaro have collected 20 medals" she said.
Julie, Noa and Kotaro also thank us.
"Let's relax, after all you are our friends" I said.
"What about the rest of these medals ? we have a lot of advantages" Julie said.
"Just put everything here, and then there will be other students who find it" I said.
"All right," said Julie.
Julie put the rest of the medal into the grass.
"By the way, I'm curious about Charles. Since then we have not met him" said Noa.
"Maybe he's already returned to the Duke's residence. Since we've all collected 20 medals, it's better that we return to the Duke's residence as well" I said.
"All right," said the other.
We all went north and finally reached the back gate of the Duke's residence. There's Mr. Alan and the other teachers waiting there. We gave each one the medals we had.
"You all managed to get 20 medals. You are declared successful in completing this exam and getting 4000 points," said Mr. Alan.
We're all happy to hear that, too. After that, we were directed to the place where the disciples who had already completed this exam were. We found Charles there, as I thought he had completed the exam first. Besides, we also found Enzo at that place, he looked at us with a surprised expression.
-
The clock showed at 6pm. The soldiers began to plunge into the exam site to pick up the disciples who had not yet returned to the Duke's residence. One by one they were picked up to return to the Duke's residence and hand over the medals they got. Most of the students who were picked up failed to get 20 medals and they only earned points according to the medals they obtained.
In addition to picking up the disciples, the soldiers were also assigned to look for the whereabouts of 22 other soldiers who had not returned after previously going to check the exam location. The soldiers continued to search all the areas where the test was located, they continued to search until nightfall. Until finally they searched the forest to the east. When they reached the deepest part of the forest, they were surprised to see a lot of blood and body parts scattered in that place. They realized that the body pieces were the 22 soldiers they were looking for.
