Chapter 189 - Team up
The man rushed towards the woman with a powerful aura.
"You know, that you’re too weak to fight me." The woman said with a sighed and she waved her hand.
Boom!
A powerful energy flew out and smashed the man. The man crashed into several houses.
Smoke and dust covered the area around the houses.
The woman looked at it with an amused expression. She opened her mouth and said, "You’re weak and you’re no match for me. You know it too, right? So I’m wondering why are you bent on taking this stone back to me?"
The man walked out of the smoke and dust with rage in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "It took me twenty years to create that stone and a bitch like you will take it from me! Do you except me to just give it to you?!"
The woman smiled and said, "You’re a vampire so twenty years of time isn’t that much to you. You should’ve handed this stone to me from the beginning."
"You!! I’ll kill you!! Don’t you know that stone is important to a vampire like me!!" The man shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Yeah, I know it but... Everything is for the Sin." The woman’s expression turned cold. "Under the name of the Seven Deadly Sins, I will take your life."
Her body emitted a fearsome red aura. The ground began to shake under her presence.
Swoosh!
The woman disappeared in her position. She then appeared behind the vampire.
"What?! Blink?!" The vampire was shocked and he turned around. But his head flew in the mid-air, splattering blood on the ground.
The woman looked at the head of the vampire. She raised her hands and shot a ball of energy towards the head.
Boom!
The head exploded as the woman burned the body of the vampire. She made sure to kill the vampire.

"The vampires right now were still living in past. They thought that they were the same noble creature back a thousand years ago. They should’ve faced the reality that they were on the brink of extinction because of those three great countries that were leading the entire continent."
Suddenly a voice sounded behind her. "Don’t say anything to vampires... Remember that Lord Cryus, the right hand of Gluttony, is a vampire."
The woman turned her head and saw four figures appeared. The four figures were wearing the same robe as hers.
She opened her mouth and said, "I know that... but Lord Cryus isn’t arrogant like this weak vampire. Even though he possessed great strength, he still acts politely."
"Well, we all know that there are far more terrifying beings in this world." One of the figures said.
The woman smiled and said, "There’s two more left. We need to accomplish it quickly so that we could return."
"Yeah, the other one is in the Ibish village. It’s near the Night Light Forest."
"What about the last one?"
"It’s near that village."
"Oh? So we don’t need to travel that far after we took the next stone."
...
The first-year students traveled for a whole day along with their teachers before they arrived on the outskirts of the Hebrei Kingdom.
They passed the border of the kingdom. Currently, they were in the wilderness between the Hebrei kingdom and Mali country.
There’s a huge forest called Night Light Forest in this part of land. It was separating the Hebrei kingdom and Mali country.
Souta thought that some of their challenges involved in that forest. He looked at the front and saw that teacher Alex, their teacher at physical strength subject, was standing in front of them. He then saw the other classes were moving in other directions.
’Just what is the institute planning in this outdoor training?’ Souta thought while looking around. It feels like they were starting from nothing except their equipment. And the institute also forbids them from selling their equipment, clothes, and weapons.
That’s why Souta only brought his basic equipment. The [Vajra Sword Saya] was hanging on his waist like always. All of his equipments were recorded and they need a valid reason if it disappeared.
It’s too strict. The Institute was making sure that everyone wouldn’t break the rules.
He then heard teacher Alex coughed to gathered their attention. Souta and the rest of the students of Mage class 1-B looked at teacher Alex.
"Look at this..." Alex said as he placed a transparent orb on the ground. The orb emitted mana and it shown brightly.
Swoosh!
A huge map of this land materialized in front of them. This was the map of the area between Hebrei kingdom and the Mali country. There was a huge circle on the map.
"This is the site. Every student is forbidden to leave this circle. Everyone who left will be disqualified and disqualification means... Being expelled." Alex explained to them with a serious expression.
Everyone subconsciously gulped when they heard Alex’s words except for a few students.
"I have an idea of what they wanted to do here in this outdoor training..." Randolf muttered with a smirk on his face. He still looked carefree despite the tense atmosphere.
Yujin just looked at the map without saying anything. His sharp eyes were focused on the things on the map.
Bryan had an excited expression on his face. He couldn’t wait to start the outdoor training and increase his strength. His priority here was to increase his strength and nothing else. Lumilia and Souta force him to remember these words.
Well, Lumilia had the same goal as Bryan. She wanted to increase her strength. She understood that this was a good opportunity to increase her strength and ability before their expedition in the Forest of Eternal Light.
Compared to the Forest of Eternal Light, this place was child’s play.
Alice looked at her classmates and she guessed who was going to have a problem or not in this outdoor training. Randolf, Souta, Bryan, and the others were not bothered by the fact that they don’t have anything except for their equipment. In fact, they were actually looking forward to this outdoor training.
’Well, I’ll try harder this time.’ Alice said to herself. She looked at the map and saw teacher Alex pointing something inside the huge circle.
"In this circle, there are thirty-seven villages, twenty-two dukedoms, and four small kingdoms." Alex swept his eyes across the Mage class before he said, "You can go anywhere and you can also pick one of these places to become your base of operation."
"Hmm...? Teacher Alex didn’t give us any information about those places. It seems that we needed to gather the information ourselves." Lumilia said.
Alex heard her words. He turned his head and looked at her. He said, "That’s right, everything will be up to you. You can only count on yourself in this training. Also, I’ll divide your class into ten groups."
’It’s hard. I can’t talk to other people.’ Alice couldn’t help but sigh. She hoped that she was grouped with her classmates that could talk to strangers. If she didn’t then she could only try her best.
’I will try my best to talk to other people now.’ She said to herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex prepared something in front of them. The students of the Mage class 1-B will pick a piece of paper inside a jar. Inside the piece of paper, a number was written on it. This will decide their groupings.
’It’s random now. I just hope that enter Bryan or Souta’s group.’ Alice thought. Bryan and Souta were the only people that she could talk to among her classmates. Lumilia was talking to her sometimes but she wasn’t that close to her just like how she talked with Souta and Bryan.
...
One by one, the students of the class pick a piece of paper.
Randolf looked at the paper in his hand with a smirk on his face. He then crumbled it and said, "I’m number four so those people who took the same number come here."
Alice looked at Randolf then at the piece of paper in her hands. Her number was three so she wasn’t in Randolf’s group. She felt that Randolf was going to show his power in this training.
"Number one, come here! All the number one! We’re going to crash everyone!" Bryan shouted with a laugh.
’As always, he’s so noisy.’ Alice thought as she glanced at Bryan. She then heard a voice behind her.
"Number three. Please come here."
She turned her head and saw that it was Lumilia. It wasn’t that bad as she was a number three. She shook her head and strode towards Lumilia.
"Mila, I’m in your group," Lynn said with a bright smile as she approached Lumilia.
"I’m glad that you’re in my group." Lumilia smiled and she looked around, "What about Nayo?"
"Nayo? She’s in Bryan’s group." Lynn replied to her.
"I see..." Lumilia nodded her head.
Alice approached her and said, "I’m also number three."
Lumilia and Nayo turned their heads and saw Alice. They were surprised that Alice was in their group.
"I see..." Lumilia smiled at her and she looked around.
Their class had forty-eight people in their class and it was divided into ten groups. It means that each group has at least four people. Two groups with four people while the rest have five people in their team.
She was going to ask about it but stopped when she heard a voice.
"I’m in your group."
Alice turned around and saw that it was Yujin.
