Novel Full Chapter 192: Next Event
For the next two days, Nathan and Selena were hunting down as many aliens as possible.
Obviously, due to the attack on the two camps, they had to investigate where the aliens came from. As a result, they found the cave along with many corpses in it.
No one believed that fifty soldiers had been kidnapped into the cave and turned into aliens. And out of those fifty soldiers, only nine managed to become a host.
Nathan and Selena killed two of them.
Sullivan also led his soldiers to take down the remnant of those aliens, including five out of nine hosts. However, there were still two more hosts they couldn’t find.
Even with Sullivan expanding the search area, the remaining two hosts simply vanished into trace.
Hence, Sullivan had to change his approach, especially since those humans could be hidden among them.
Still, there was one more category that one could be used to classify as a host. It was for the people who had been controlled but not mutated.
They behaved like humans but were unable to use their vocal chords. While identifying them was easy, it would become increasingly hard once more and more of them infiltrated the human camps.
Sullivan would be the one handling the recovery of the mature class corpse as well as other significant specimens.
As for Nathan and Selena, they managed to hunt over two thousand aliens.
In total, they received 2,500 proto-class cores and 30 juvenile class cores. Sullivan gave them half of the aliens they hunted as bonuses, of course, from his own coffer.
Even after dividing the cores between the two of them, Nathan still got enough cores for Fenrir and Anubis to reach 1,000 Ena and him upgrading his Soul Contract once again.
Satisfied with the harvest, Nathan and Selena thanked Sullivan and went back to the academy.
Still, both of them knew they were not the only ones working hard for the next event. Rudeus, August, and even other students were trying to get a piece of the pie. They might not win if they were careless.
…
Frexia Academy.
Once they returned to the class, it was time for the third event to begin.
Jason gathered the students in the class as usual.
“I’m sure that you have been doing your best in the last two months. And now it is time for the third event of the first year.
“You might have heard the rumor, so I’ll say it first. The rumor is true. In this event, you will pair up with another person to win the event. Even though you are a summoner, you won’t always work by yourself, so this event is intended to let you understand it for the future.
“Before explaining the rules, I will let you know about the benefits of this event. I want you to treat this event as one of the most important events in your life.
“After all, the mission reward will be given to the 10 top pairs. However, the grade will be different.
“For 6th to 10th pairs, each person will receive a C-grade room, 250 proto-class cores every single month, and two items.
“What kind of items will you receive? This can be a lot of things. You should have seen it when browsing the list of rewards from the battle royale. Yes, you can choose items such as potions, equipment, and other items.
“What about the room? The room will be at least five times more spacious than your current room, perfect with all kinds of equipment that can train your body or space for your research, depending on what type of summoner you are.
“For 4th and 5th pairs, you will receive a B-grade room, 400 proto-class cores every month, and three items. The difference between a B-grade room and a C-grade room is that a B-grade room is ten times more spacious than your current room.
“And for the 3rd rank, you will receive an A-grade room, 500 proto-class cores, and three items. This is where the room will have an additional space for your special training. It can be said to be tailored especially for you.
“The 2nd rank pair will also receive an A-grade room, 750 proto-class cores, and four items.
“Last but not least, the champion for this event will receive an A-grade room, 1,000 proto-class cores, and 1 epic item.”
Everyone couldn’t help but drop their jaws to the ground after hearing such a generous reward.
Now that they had more familiars, they definitely needed more space. That was why having such a spacious room would be important.
However, the biggest reward would be the cores. Once they summoned their third familiar, they knew they needed a massive amount of Ena to summon their next familiar. The quality would have to increase drastically.
Instead of a few thousand, they would probably need at least ten thousand Ena to summon their next familiar.
In fact, their fifth familiar would need much more than that. It was no wonder why Selena’s father managed to summon a progenitor as his fifth familiar.
Nathan and Selena aside, talented people shouldn’t have a problem getting 5 to 7 Ena per core. In addition, they would also gather a lot more cores outside the school.
This was the biggest reason the principal allowed the second year and third year to challenge the first-year students in the summoners war after six months.
Jason said this was one of the most important events in their lives, and he wasn’t wrong. This was the academy’s way of seeing whether they should invest a lot in them.
A lot of students were excited. At the very least, twenty people would win in this instance. In addition, they gave multiple items to the winner. Those who didn’t win could still negotiate with the winners to get one or two items for their next summons as well.
As for Nathan and Selena, they only had one goal in mind. It was to get the first rank, even if it meant they had to defeat August and Rudeus.
Jason slammed the board and raised his voice. “And now, I will explain the rules.”
