Novel Full 209 Students in Trouble
“Someone has rigged the tournament.”
“What!?” Dennis said in shock.
Lith and Ralph weren’t shocked like Dennis but a little surprised when they heard it. As for the cow, it didn’t know what the tournament was in the first place, let alone what rigging it meant.
Emilia nodded her head and said, “that’s right. The tournament has been rigged by someone. We do not know who it is and are trying to find the person.”
“Oh, I see.” Dennis replied.
Emilia then continued, “and the beasts you came across right now, they aren’t supposed to be here. This world’s energy and resources do not allow any beast to be above Tier 5 but you came across four of such beasts. Thankfully, they were still in the midst of developing and absorbing nutrition from the soil and didn’t attack you or else things would’ve been bad.”
The four nodded their heads hearing her explanation.
The three wanted to know more about this and started having a chat with Emilia.
…
In a forest area, a group of five students were walking together, towards the inner parts of the safe zone.
“Hey, do you really have a plan to avoid those geniuses?” An angel teen asked the group leader who was an elf and was walking beside him.
“Yes, don’t worry. But they aren’t the only problems we may have.” The elf teen replied.
“What other problems do we have then, big brother?” Another elf teen from the side asked.
“The problem is the zone shrinking, the monsters that are going to attack us, the unstable climate and the traps. I only know this much as of now. It is for these reasons that I told you all to keep your guards up and always stay alert.
At the start when we were alone and got attacked by a few beasts, that was just a warm up. The real difficulties start when the zone starts to shrink. We have not come across the real challenges yet. The problem could arise at any moment’s notice. So keep being on guard and don’t slack.” The elf teen said seriously to everyone around him.
“Makes sense.” A tall teen from the Tiger Clan of the Demi-humans said.
“We’ll follow your words then.” A short elf teen from the back said.
The five people continued to walk in the forest in a certain type of formation. They had their guards up at all times and were very cautious.
They observed each and every single thing while moving forward from the rustling of the leaves, to the worms crawling on the ground to the rabbits hopping around.
Nothing seemed dangerous to them and everything was normal. But, they didn’t relax their guard and kept moving forward. The same sequence repeated as they move forward. Leaves rustling, worms crawling and rabbits hopping around.
The leader of the group halted and gestured for others to halt too. He looked at the trees, the worms and the rabbits once again and said, “something is not right.”
“What isn’t right, big brother?” The elf beside him asked.
“Leaves and worms I can understand but… Aren’t there too many rabbits around us?” The leader said while looking at a certain rabbit hopping around.
“Now that you say it…” The angel teen frowned after hearing it and muttered softly.
He extended his wings out and flew above in the air to have a bird’s eye view of the surroundings. Looking down, he saw his group, then around them the lush green trees of the forest and… rabbits.
Hundreds of thousands of rabbits!
There were rabbits everywhere surrounding his group and wherever or whichever direction they continued now, they would only see rabbits.
His back broke out in cold sweat as he saw the area below him and quickly descended down.
The others saw him descend and noticed a fearful expression on his face. He also seemed to be trembling for some reason. Everyone frowned as they noticed such a reaction from him.
The leader of the group knitted his brows and holding the shoulder of the angel teen, he asked seriously, “what did you see from above?”
The angel teen kept trembling but being asked the question, he said stuttering, “w-we are… s-surrounded!”
“What do you mean?” The leader asked once again.
The teen pointed at a rabbit a few meters away from them and said stuttering once again, “we a-are s-surrounded by r-rabbits.”
“Rabbits?” The leader asked once again.
The teen tried to compose himself and held the hand of the leader and running in a direction, he turned back and shouted to the others:
“RUN!”
….
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
“Hey, why does the ground seem to be shaking?” A human teen said to his companions.
“No idea.” Another human teen replied.
“Let me check.” A werewolf teen in the group said and squatted down and placed his hands on the ground to check.
His eyes turned wide with shock as he saw thousands of berserk beasts running towards their direction.
He quickly got up and ran in a certain direction and while doing so, yelled:
“RUN! BEASTS! TOO MANY BEASTS ARE CHARGING TOWARDS US!”
…
In a mountain region.
A group of three students were walking along a mountain slope.
“Man, the weather sure seems nice today.” A teen said.
“True. I just hope there’s no trouble for us today just like yesterday and the day before that.” The teen’s companion added.
“Hmm?” The third teen stopped in his tracks as he found something to be off. He sniffed the air around him and noticing such a weird action from him, the other two asked,
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t know. But the smell…”
…
In a ruins of a small city.
“Yaaa~, mate I didn’t know this tournament was so easy, haha! There’s nothing to do but follow the map. Are we gonna win like this?” A student said to another beside him.
“Yup. Let’s just hope that this…”
“WAAAAAAAAAAA!”
A loud sound of some baby’s cry was heard by the two.
“What the fuck was that?” The student said.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
“Fuck why is the ground shaking now?”
“Dude, did you just jinx ourselves?”
“WAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
“Shit, stop talking and run!”
“But where?”
“Just run away from the source of the sound! Don’t ask useless questions!”
…
“…and then there was that happening wh–”
Buzz!
Emilia was interrupted by her phone’s buzzing noise. She took it out from her ring and noticed that it was Sel calling her. Thinking it may be something important, she said to the three present in front of her, “one second, students.”
She then picked up the call and Sel’s voice rang out from the other side, saying:
“Madam, the tournament is definitely rigged as you said. A lot of incidents are happening around in the dimension. There aren’t a lot, just five or six such incidents that require your immediate attention. The students at coordinates…”
One by one, Sel briefed Emilia on the select few incidents that were occuring in the Blue Haze World. These needed immediate attention and only Emilia could provide it.
Help from the academy could be sent but it would take a few moments for the officials to arrive on the scene. The time difference between the two was huge with 1 day over here being equal to 30 days over there. Due to this difference, it would be too late and thus Sel had to immediately ask Emilia to send help to the students in trouble.
“Okay, Sel, I understand.” Emilia answered and hung up.
Everything was processed quickly in her mind on things that needed to be done to formulating a good plan to save everyone from this rigged tournament. She wasn’t an Emperor Rank for show. Having a fast thinking process was just one of the few things an Emperor Rank was capable of.
Emilia looked at her students in front and said, “children, listen to me carefully. I have a few things for you that you need to do quickly.”
The three nodded their heads as they heard Emilia say that in a serious tone. The cow saw the three nodding their heads and it went along with the flow and nodded its head too.
Emilia took out three black colored square tokens from her ring and handed one each to the three.
“These are teleportation tokens. You’ll just have to inscribe the coordinates of the place on this token through your spiritual power and you’ll be teleported there. The coordinates of the students present in this dimension will be sent to you on your phone.
My request to you three is, can you please go and eliminate them as quickly as possible? You just have to imbue your spiritual power in their identity badges and wipe theirs off from it and they will be teleported out of this place. Will you three be able to do it?”
Despite the situation being tense, Emilia calmly said to the three in her gentle tone.
“No problem, teacher. We’ll do it. It’s easy.” Dennis thumped his chest and said.
Lith, Ralph and the cow nodded their heads and agreed with Dennis on it.
Emilia smiled knowing their response.
Crackle!
Golden streaks of lightning started crackling around her.
She then patted the heads of the four and said:
“Thank you, children.”
Fuuuusssshhhhh
BOOOOOM!
Without waiting to hear any response from them, she shot off to the sky and towards a certain direction, creating beautiful golden streaks of lightning in the sky and a loud sonic boom.
