Chapter 171: I Refuse!

Meanwhile, the students and instructors lined up neatly 50 meters outside the great wall’s number one gathering point.

Everyone felt emotional looking at the mysterious and terrifying Magical Beast territory before them. The 400 students mentally had prepared themselves this time.

There was fear in their hearts they could not wholly overcome. Still, their hatred toward the Magical Beasts motivated them, and they felt confident they could get 20 points for their next mission.

“When will we start? I can’t wait!”

“I want to avenge my brother!”

“I don’t know what beast I will face in my ambush mission, but if I see that Tyrannical Tyrannosaurus, I will kill it!”

…

Flying Wolf looked at the time and said, “The targets for today’s ambush mission will be Evil Rhinoceros. You must use the scouting skills you’ve learned and the information you’ve reported to locate their gathering point.”

He pointed at one of the eight areas on the map and continued, “After locating them, you will launch your ambush. Be sure to be quick, accurate, and ruthless! You must also return to your corresponding rendezvous points without any beasts discovering you.

“The 25 instructors will rate you according to your target’s level, damage you’ve dealt, time spent to complete your mission, if you’ve caused any disturbances, and so on.”

The training camp had attached greater importance to the final phase and sent 33 instructors this time. Twenty-five participated in the assessments, while the remaining eight were responsible for guarding the four rendezvous points.

“This assessment will take one hour. After that, the instructors will bring back whichever student has yet to complete their mission. Next, we will prepare 50 students and 25 instructors to form Squad 1 and move to Area 1. The remaining eight instructors will take their positions at their corresponding rendezvous points.”

An instructor blew a whistle, and the first squad of students set off on their mission.

Moss and the other seven squads knew there was still a long time before it was their turn, so they looked at the scenery and discussed it in groups of threes and fives.

Seeing this, the eight instructors spent their free time telling the students to practice and tell stories.

“Squad 8, please gather. Practice qi and blood technique now. Let’s go!”

“Squad 7, tell me a story about your childhoods. B-664, you can start,” the instructor in charge of guarding rendezvous point four ordered.

Alan had just sat down and was currently discussing an issue with Baylon beside him. He immediately stood back up when he heard someone call out to him.

The instructor waved his hand at Alan and said, “B-664, you can just sit down and tell us your story.”

Alan’s mind was muddled as he did not expect to be the first person to talk about his childhood. After a long while, he finally told a story of how he and his cousin had caught a frog and how he heroically saved his cousin.

Alan’s story was average, but it was mostly terrible. Still, it was a good start overall.

The instructors listened as the students shared their stories and watched them practice their qi and blood techniques. It was a perfect sight; times like those always passed by quickly. Half an hour later, the first squad had returned to their rendezvous point.

The other student from other rendezvous points saw this, so they walked over and asked the first squad about their experiences.

The students noticed Squad One was relaxed, so they did not need to know whether or not Squad One had done well in their mission.

Then one after another, the other six squads completed their missions, and it was finally time for Squad Seven, where Moss was, to do theirs.

After a short whistle, Squad Seven began their mission.

Five minutes later, student 345 shared his story of how he dug out of a hornet’s nest as a child when Moss returned.

“B-666 is already back?!” Someone shouted, instantly making Moss the center of attention.

“Did he run into issues ambushing the Evil Rhinoceros and leave?”

“He only took about five minutes to complete his mission?”

“B-666 is too awesome!”

…

Amidst the students’ speculations, Flying Wolf walked over as shock and doubt filled his mind because he was in charge of guarding the rendezvous points this round.

“Have you completed your mission, B-666?”

“No, sir!” After a pause, Moss continued firmly, “I’ve given up, Deputy Chief Instructor Flying Wolf!”

“W-What?!” Flying Wolf could not believe what he heard, but he felt pity for Moss. He asked, “You will get 0 points if you give up. Have you thought it through?!”

“Yes, sir, I have!” Moss answered affirmatively without hesitation.

Moss knew he could easily get those 20 points and win first place in the final assessments as long as he performed normally. Still, he decided he would rather give up after spending two minutes away from his rendezvous point.

Flying Wolf got angry when he looked at Moss’s determined expression. He picked up Moss’s report card and drew a big circle in the ambush mission column.

Then he reprimanded Moss, “Why can’t you complete this mission even though everyone has? It should be easy pickings for you, yet you can’t do it?! Explain yourself!”

Moss slowly raised his head to look at Flying Wolf. “I cannot do this mission if I want to carry on the knight’s will.”

Flying Wolf’s heart shook when he heard this. ‘We have principles here. It is not that simple!’

Although Flying Wolf thought so in his heart, he still thundered, “Return to your spot and practice your qi and blood technique!”

The students heard what happened between Moss and Flying wolf. They could no longer hold their curiosity and began to discuss among themselves.

“B-666 has the strength to complete his mission but chooses to give up his 20 points. He can only get 79 points now. He lost first place just like that?!”

“Don’t worry about first place. We don’t know if B-666 can even get his graduation certificate now.”

“Is chivalry that important to him?!”

Flying Wolf heard the students’ discussions, ignored them, and turned to walk away. He smiled at that moment as he wrote a comment on Moss’s report card: Loyal to chivalry.

…

Another hour went by as Squad Seven returned, and the final squad started their mission. However, everyone became restless soon after. Some could not suppress their temper and snuck out to get fresh air.

Suddenly, two spatial rifts appeared in the northwest corner less than ten meters from rendezvous point four. Then a few large and unusually ferocious Magical Beasts emerged from them.

“That’s bad. There are Magical Beasts here!” The students who had gone for fresh air immediately shouted when they saw the beasts.

Moss also got some fresh air when he saw the beasts trap more than a dozen students. The students tried their best to resist the Magical Beasts, so Moss hurriedly gathered his qi and channeled it to his feet. Then he quickly dashed forward.

He summoned several shields and threw them at the Magical Beasts. While the beasts dodged backward, Moss finally arrived in front of the trapped students.

Still, he dared not be negligent as he immediately summoned more shields to build a barrier. He fought with all his might against the beasts to protect his fellow students.

“Magical Beasts have never appeared here. How could they…” Flying Wolf did not have time to think as he quickly ran toward the commotion and sent a message to Red Spider, asking for help.

The other students from Squad Seven also rushed forward when they heard the commotion. When they arrived at the scene, they saw a group of beasts attacking Moss’s barrier. Then the students hurriedly launched their skills at the beasts.

Both sides were in a heated battle in the blink of an eye. However, Red Spider led over 20 instructors and students of Squad Eight into battle, instantly turning the tides of the fight.

Ultimately, more than 50 beasts died at the hands of everyone’s joint forces. Some beasts got injured, while others escaped when they noticed the unfavorable situation.

The trapped students were relieved when the instructors and students had resolved the crisis. The first thing the trapped students did was express their most sincere gratitude to Moss.

“Thanks, B-666! We might’ve died if you hadn’t risked your life to save us!”

“You’re a hero, B-666!”

…

Then the rest of the students threw Moss into the air as others came forward to cheer alongside them. It was as if they had won a great battle.

However, everyone relied on their individual strength to achieve a stunning victory. The instructors were pleased with the scene and repeatedly nodded in praise.

Amid the cheers and chants, the Unlimited Evolution System sounded in Moss’s mind.
