The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 188 - Start of Outdoor Training

Souta looked at Jimmy and he slowly descended on the ground.

Jimmy was right. This place was not the right place to fight. He didnʼt want to destroy some of the things here because he knew that his fight with this man Ginvi wasnʼt going to be easy.

He dispelled his spell as the color of the ground turned back to normal but the ground was still opened because of Ginviʼs spell before.

Ginvi also stepped back. He looked at Souta and said, ”Letʼs fight, later. If you want me to acknowledge you then defeat me.”

”Haha, Iʼll fight you later as long as you want.” Souta laughed as he said. He then looked at the people that he picked one by one.

”I wanted all of you to train your skill and keep improving. Our first expedition is at the Forest of Eternal Light so prepare yourself. If youʼre afraid of going there then you can quit right now.” Souta said to them in a loud voice.

The seven people didnʼt say anything. They just looked at him silently.

”Good, no one wanted to quit. Iʼm impressed. Then, weʼll meet here two weeks later at the same time. Also, Iʼll bring my Adventurerʼs party at that time so prepare yourself.” Souta said to them with a satisfied expression. These people were strong.

He thought that Bryan would be happy to meet them especially the one named Ginvi. He will arrange a spar between them after the outdoor training.

...

Souta dismissed them and he walked inside the building with Jimmy.

Jimmy called some people to fix the ground that Ginvi destroyed.

Souta looked at Jimmy and said, ”Iʼll go now.”

”Wait...” Jimmy stopped Souta and he took out a piece of yellow paper in his pocket.

Souta received it and found that it was a transmission talisman.

”I already imprinted my talisman there so you can contact me anytime,” Jimmy said to him.

”Good, thanks for this. Iʼll contact you if I need anything.” Souta thanked Jimmy before he turned around and left the Lanny corp building.

He looked at the transmission talisman. He still has two transmission talisman in his pocket. Jimmy gave it to him before when he asked him to look for a talisman to pair the one that he got from Gregoryʼs subordinate.

In other words, he had a total of three transmission talismans.

Souta bought some food for Yuko before he went back to his house. He gave her her breakfast and changed his clothes to his uniform.

...

He arrived in his classroom and found that Bargan was already there. It seems that he was already late for a few minutes. The business that he did in the Lanny corp took a lot of his time.

”Youʼre here, Souta. I thought that you will skip class at this important event.” Bargan said when he saw Souta entered the classroom.

”Iʼm sorry about that. I finished some business before coming here.” Souta bowed his head to Bargan as a sign that he was sorry for being late. He then went to his seat between Alice and Bryan.

”Okay, class now that everyoneʼs here please prepare yourself. Go to the gymnasium and you will learn something about the outdoor training.” Bargan said to his students.

...

The students gathered at the huge gymnasium of the institute. All the first-year students were present here in this place. They were divided by their class and their homeroom teachers were at the corner watching them.

Souta looked at the stage and saw a middle-aged man with short white hair and a beard. He had fox ears and a furry tail. He was the principal of the Ladro Institute, Azrim De Reigan.

He smiled as he knew that this man was a powerful person. He was a top fighter in the whole Hebrei kingdom.

He looked at his side and saw that Alice was looking at Azrim with a serious expression.

”Do you know Principal Azrim?” Souta asked her.

Alice glanced at him when she heard his question. She then shook her head indicating that she didnʼt know that man.

”I see...” Souta nodded and he looked back at the principal.

All the students were looking at the principal waiting for his words.

After a while, Azrim looked at the first-year students as he slowly opened his mouth and said, ”First-year students... Iʼm Azrim De Reigan, the principal of the Ladro Institute.”

All the students could hear his powerful voice as he imbued his mana in it. His voice resounded throughout the whole gymnasium.

He paused for a moment as he looked at each class. Azrim then added, ”Today is the day of your outdoor training. All of you will stay outside the kingdom and no one will be permitted to return to the kingdom. Anyone who gave up on the training will be expelled. We donʼt need weak-willed person here in Ladro Institute.”

Everyone was surprised to found that the students who gave up will be expelled instantly. No matter the reason as long as no accident happened they will be expelled.

”Thatʼs all, I hope no one gave up. Your advisory teacher will explain the rules of the outdoor training to you.” Azrim said before he turned around and left.

...

Bargan was standing in front of the Mage class 1-B. He looked at his students and saw some were tense.

”Everyone listen to me! Our class will head towards the eastern part of the Hebrei kingdom. We will start our outdoor training at that place along with other classes.” Bargan said and he explained the rules to his students.

The students will not receive any help from their students. Each class will choose two sites to train in the area. They could choose a forest, mountain, village, etc. as long as they were not inside the Hebrei kingdom or near the other huge countries they could choose any place.

If they wanted something they have to earn it. If they wanted to sleep in an inn they have to earn their own money. They have to do this for one week and three days.

They have to do some tasks so that they could earn some points. They could also ignore the task but for those students who wanted points, they could do it.

In this one week and three days, they have to finish a challenge every day. That challenge was their training to improve their strength. They had to complete it or else they will face some punishment.

”We, teachers, are just an observer so we will not help any of you but if have any question you can ask them,” Bargan said to them and he paused as he recalled something in his mind. ”By the way, the teacher is also the one whoʼs going to give you the points. We, teachers, are tasked to observe a class thatʼs not our own. In other words, Iʼm not going to observe your class.”

He then smiled and said, ”Donʼt disappoint me, everyone. Iʼve got high expectations for the rest of you.”

ʼMy new spell [Gravitational Ball] will be useful in times like this.ʼ Souta thought as he grinned.

Alice glanced at Souta and saw him grinning while looking at teacher Bargan. She turned her head and looked at teacher Bargan. She found nothing and she was wondering why Souta was grinning.

A teacher walked in front and stood beside Bargan. A man with short black hair and black cat ears looked at the Mage class 1-B with his cat pupils. He was Alex Ventilorna, their teacher at physical strength subject.

”Iʼm the one who was tasked to observe you and Iʼm also the one who will grade each of you, so give everything youʼve got in the outdoor training. I hope youʼre strength increase well.” Alex said to them in a fierce tone.

”Teacher Alex is the one whoʼs going to grade us... Then what about teacher Bargan?” Alice muttered in a low voice.

Souta glanced at her as he heard her words. He smiled and said, ”You donʼt need to worry about it. Just focus on completing the challenge and everything will be okay.”

”If you say so...” Alice said as she tried to guess whatʼs the challenges that they will face in this outdoor training. Just like everyone, she will try her best to improve her skill and ability.

The first-year students went to their designated site outside of the Hebrei Kingdom. They donʼt have money, potions, weapons, and high-grade equipment. They have to earn their own money if they wanted to sleep in an inn. They have to hunt their own food and cook it themselves if they wanted to it something.

They have to survive and endure the challenges for one week and three days.

...

Somewhere in the Giza continent...

A woman wearing a black robe and red linings was looking down at the piles of corpses on the ground. Her robe had a symbol of a red eyes at back part of it.

She crouched down and picked up a crimson gem. She raised it and observed the crimson gem.

”We already acquired three of it. Two more and we will complete the task that the Sin gave to us.” She muttered as she looked behind her.

A man with long silver-haired appeared. The man had a flawless face and pale skin. His pair of crimson eyes were gleaming with anger.

”Oh? Youʼre still alive. I thought that youʼre dead.” The woman exclaimed as she looked at the man with an amused expression.

”Give back that stone to me!” The man shouted as he charged towards the woman.
