MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 60: Exam Over

When everyone opened their eyes, they arrived back at the Coliseum they were once in before they were teleported into the secret realm by the professor called Dame.

Some people already gave up before the estimated time even ended, they arrived and were healed as soon as they came out.

As the students arrived, some were bleeding, some pale due to mana exhaustion and too much blood loss, some had a limb or two missing, some on the brink of death but refused to give up beecause of the ʼlife ballʼ because they understood what such artifact could do, some looked fine and fit like havenʼt even moved a muscle since the exam started.

Of course some weak ones already had the thoughts of hiding and not fighting at all neither for battle point or Academy points.

They just wanted to survive and have the ʼlife ballʼ cause they knew no matter the amount of amount of points they gathered, they wouldnʼt be able to buy it, letʼs not even talk about the ability to even gather those points in the first place to begin with.

So they hid and simply didnʼt make a move at all, although some were lucky and werenʼt attacked the entire twenty four hours, some were attacked by lower ranked creatures so they just handled it, took the body and changed hiding spots, some were forced to use their ʼlife ballʼ because they were attacked by stronger monsters.

Some already had plans on what to do with the ʼlife ballʼ, some already planned to sell it to some experts or in an auction to make more money for themselves.

But what they didnʼt know was that the Academy already had plans of buying it back from those of them who were planning to auction or sell it off.

Those who originally had thoughts of mass producing the artifact already deleted such thoughts from their minds as they didnʼt want to meet their maker so soon.

But what they didnʼt know was that nobody has actually tried to mass produce it in the first place because they never actually owned the artifact in the first place.

The Academy always gives the ʼlife ballʼ to students whenever they are entering any secret realm the Academy has, but they always took it back from them whenever the students were done.

It was only used as a reward this time around because of their scheme with Anthony.

So what Dame said about those that tried to mass produce the artifact still trying from the death realm was a lie because no one ever tried since no one ever had the artifact in their possession in the first place.

But the same time, it wasnʼt really a lie since the Academy was ready to harvest the head of whoever tried to mass produce it.

When Anthony and his subordinate arrived in the Coliseum, the ten of them looked at each other dying to know who was left out of the top ten, this was more than a matter of just pride.

They didnʼt even entertain the thought of someone out the ten of them sneaking into the top ten and pushing more of them out of that ranking, such was their confidence in their battle prowess and the battle they just fought few seconds and minutes ago.

A healer appeared in the air the moment all students arrived and simply just waved his hand and water element moved and healed every student in a second.

It was as if time was reversed in itself because they recovered too quickly.

Even their blood loss was mysteriously recovered like breathing.

The only thing left behind was their empty mana cores, the rest of everything was simply perfect as they felt energy brimming through their body like they were in peak form.

This was simply how good the healer was and the difference between realms, healing someone of lower ranks and minor injury was no different than blinking, talk less of people in the mortal rank (SSS rank and below).

As the healer was done, he flew away without waiting, healers were always busy as there were always battle so people always required their service, so healers were one of the richest out there as they could literally charge you anything if they really wanted as a potion canʼt help you recover, afterall you canʼt take your treasures to the grave.

Bryan and Tiara looked at each other as soon as they were done with the healing as both them sustained quite the injury even with the dragon scale and regeneration they both respectively possessed.

Sparks of light flew in the air as an intense competition of who would be ranked first in the ranking occured between them, as they had both given it their all during these twenty four hours as they went at it without even a single rest or stop.

If they werenʼt fighting, they were running looking for the next monster to gain points.

They didnʼt bother looking at Anthony who could be seen leaning on a wall with his eyes closed like he wasnʼt here and the exam had nothing to do with him.

Dame floated down with his spear still hanging on his back, but he was even more strict this time because he had dropped a minor realm because of Klaus.

”Some of you were a disappointment as you escaped early without even fighting with your life on the line, at the end of the day you all are green pigs, and the top twenty are all just bigger pigs” Dame said as he looked at those who escape using their ʼlife ballʼ as they could simply escape if they really put in an effort or used their brains a little.

But they ran away due to fear and couldnʼt calm down due to where they appeared.

But who could blame them, the secret realm was different from the boran forest where they had the entrance practical exam.

The secret realm was simply filled with monsters who were more ruthless and bred like goblins, they were simply too many.

Dame wondered how these idiots were able to pass the entrance exam.

But the truth is Dame was too vexed to see the truth due to dropping a minor realm.

Every single student tried and made a good progress in their own right.

Even if they escaped, they still fought and survived, trying their best before escaping.

Anthony could sense Dameʼs emotions due to All seeing eyes, his eyes could also passively see mana movement no matter how minute it is, Anthony could tell something happened to Dame within those twenty four hours they were gone because the mana around Dame had suddenly changed in quantity and was slightly unstable.

But Anthony didnʼt care and wasnʼt bothered to find out as it has nothing to do with him.

Only if Anthony knew it had everything to do with him.

”Those of you who didnʼt escape can bring out your ʼlife ballʼ now, so I can remove the coordinates on it” Dame said.

Those who still had the ʼlife ballʼ brought it out and Dame took them using his mana control and removed the coordinates and gave them back to the students.

He helped those who already had a coordinate to engrave the coordinate on the ʼlife ballʼ before he gave it back to them.

Everyone was happy as they held the ʼlife ballʼ, some imagining the money they could get after selling it, some thinking of using it as a life saving artifact.

”For those of you who have plans to sell the artifact can sell it back to the Academy, we would buy it back at the appropriate price that even those auctions wonʼt give you, so if you are planning on selling them, meet me tomorrow” Dame said again.

Some students were immediately happy, they could exchange it for resources and improve more quickly no matter how slow their cultivation speed was.

If they sold an artifact of this calibre, the resources can be used to propel their self forward with speed.

Of course some people didnʼt put the artifact in their eyes as they already had something of the same function or even better one on them since they came from top tier families.

But who would say no to more treasure, of course no one would no matter how stupid they really are.

Of course they could exchange it for more resources from the Academy to further boost their cultivation since they already had a similar artifact, or they could keep it since life saving artifacts were never enough, especially these period the demons and cult were making outrageous and courageous moves.

But to those who werenʼt from the top tier families this was an opportunity from heaven.

Their mana rank was basically their lives, so it was right to sell the artifact for resources.

Besides, if they keep the artifact they could fall into trouble as people might want to kill them for it the moment they leave the Academy.

Greed was simply too much in this world, other students might have devious ideas and leak the news thereby getting them killed, thereby keeping the artifact for themselves, thereby selling it to the Academy getting multiple resources.

Anything that happens outside the Academy doesnʼt really concern the Academy if it isnʼt connected to them.

So a student dying during a holiday had nothing to do with the Academy, but a student dying during an Academy mission has something to do with the Academy.

Even if they sell it to other people or auction houses, after they take the money from selling it, will they have the strength to guard their money after selling it.

There was no justice for the weak, the only thing that spoke in this world is your strength.

If you donʼt have the strength then donʼt touch or eye any treasure.

If you touch any treasure, you better take it to your grave.

Killing was no different than breathing in this world, there was no police here to arrest anyone or anything or court to judge anyone.

Only your strength spoke for you, itʼs as simple as that.

ʼSurvival of the fittestʼ is the only law here.
