Chapter 153: Training Program-1
'shirp, shirp'
'koo, koo'
'rustle, rustle'
Eli looked around the area.....to be truthful, he wanted to settle here for the rest of his life.
There were currently,
Flora Continent
Aadya brought them to the outskirts of the Flora Continent.
Eli...surely he was mesmerized by nature and its life.
Different types of birds and different kinds of animals walk and play around without any fear.
"We should build our house in this kind of place in the future..." Eli muttered.
Which caused two people to blush when they heard 'Our House'....its a truly wonderful word.
"What are blushing for, bitch?" Mia suddenly whiserped.
"Ah, the same could be said to you, bitch" Scylla rebuked her.
Eli completely ignored their catfight and thought, 'So, who will lose their rank now?' as he already knew they had to form 6 members in a team so...
"I think it will be that Dragons" Suddenly someone said as if they knew what Eli was thinking.
"How so? Zera" Eli questioned as he glanced side.
"Because they have Pride, not to mingle with other species" Zera replied as she also ignored the catfight because she was used to it now.
"I see....there is a possibility" Eli nodded at looked at Amir and Theodare who were ignoring Eli and never made a move on him after Theodare shit? himself.
Eli glanced at Tiana who was sitting on the Sliver-haired girl's shoulder.
When she felt the gaze, Tiana turned and waved her hand happily.....
'Truly a wonderful innocent friend' Eli thought when he saw her smile which was without any remorse or disgust.
Eli really thought she might hate however after that day, However, Tiana turned normal and started to speak to him without any fear.
His Eyes then landed on a purple-haired girl who was simply staring at Aadya while standing in a group.
"It seems Rize already found her team" Eli muttered as he saw Rize standing along with grey hair and ears wolf boy and some others.
Then Eli looked at someone who kept glancing at him...no, behind him.
Eli glanced at his back and saw Luna and Alexander were talking about something seriously and Eli returned his gaze to that purple-haired and purple-eyes figure who fidgeting with a gloomy expression.
"Now, I will project the team members name and their group number" Aadya said as she projected a huge hologram from her small phone.
"And stand according to your group number"
'step, step'
Everyone stood gathered in their group leaving only one person.
Eli raised his eyebrows, 'What happened?'.
"Fuck, that bastard" Zera suddenly cursed.
Aadya then looked at the one person who didn't form a team and said with an indifferent tone,
"Rize, Rank 17 is demoted to Rank 18"
"Jayvald Darcula, Rank 18 is promoted to Rank 17"
Soon the number on their batches also changed to their respective ranks.
"Yes" Jayvald clutched his hand tightly as glanced at Zera for any recognition but....only he got a blank look.
'Just wait I will show you, who I am' Jayvald muttered himself.
"Rize who was not able to protect her rank by simply forming a team....now have to go solo in the Dungeon" Aadya as a matter of fact.
Rize herself had a shocked face as if she never expected though part of her mind did know something like this would happen but.....she was sad to be betrayed by that person again.
"...." Her eyes turned a little black before returning to normal.
The moment other students heard Aadya's words, Students gulped hard because she never mentioned they have to do solo if they haven't formed a team.
Some even sweated a little because the Dungeon they were going to face was, an 'A+' grade Dungeon.
Only an idiot would do a solo inside that dungeon that requires Perfect Domain Rank Cultivator.
However, thinking about who she was...Everyone turned silent and shrugged off, they would be fine as long as they weren't facing it.
"Well then, Let me tel-"
Someone raised their hands.
"Any questions, Asher Eli?"
"Well, I would like to take Ms. Rize into our team" Eli pointed at Rize who suddenly looked at him with a surprised face.
"That's not how it works, Asher Eli. One team only have 6 members nothing more or less" Aadya said as nudged her glasses.
Eli suddenly turned towards two new members with a smile.
"!!!" Both Luna and Alexander suddenly flinched and stuttered,
"N-No Way"
"Y-You cannot possibly do t-that to me, C-commoner"
After that incident in the cafeteria, Alexander decided to go with Eli's team and send Maire to Alysia's team to protect Alysia and inform him just in case she fell on the dark side.
For some reason, Alysia teamed with those two Dragons and the Hero from Theos kingdom.
As Alexander already knew, the game plot twisted more than one way so he wasn't surprised by this...however, he cannot leave her alone with Amir Osvaldo who seems to be 'reincarnated' just like him.
However, it was far from the truth.
Alexander really wanted to go to her side, however, if he left Luna alone with Eli.....he didn't want to think about the consequences and also he had something to do with Zera...so he could not simply waste this golden opportunity.
'crack, crack'
Eli cracked his knuckles and moved towards Alexander, however,
"I am fine. Mr. Asher. Thank you for the help" Rize said seriously with little bow.
Hearing that,
'Sigh' Eli sighed and nodded his head with a wry smile.
"..." Aadya glanced between these two and thought, 'I guess, they became close' as she knew more about Rize who had zero communication skills and shrugging it off.
She said,
"As I already informed you, this Dungeon is an 'A+' grade dungeon with Earth-type....so please be beware of your surroundings" As a good teacher she gave them a little warning before clapping her hand and added,
"These bracelets will tell us how many your team killed and help to store the Soul crystals and the team who clear the dungeon will be awarded 'generously'"
Students looked at the silver bracelets warping around their hands, except for three people who wore two bracelets.
"Before leaving, Let me introduce you, our honourable guest who wished to see future generations"
"KKIIIIIIIIIKK"
With a screeching sound, a large red bird with reddish yellow flame wings flew from the sky.
Looking at it, everyone turned in awe because of its radiant colour that lift the area and fiercely yellow slits eyes that looked like bore through everyone.
Its entire body looked like a sun coming towards them, its features burned fiercely...The surrounding calm animals looked at the red bird before kneeling and running away.
Zoomed towards them with high speed and was just about to hit the ground when,
'ssshhhhh'
It transformed into a beautiful crimson-haired woman with dark red eyes wearing a red black dress embroidered with golden letters representing 'Phoenix'.
She released a level of authority from her look and sat down beside Aadya before saying,
"All the Best" with an indifferent tone.
A dangerous glint passed through Scylla's eyes when she saw the crimson-haired woman.
'OH, She is really Phoenix...ah?' Eli raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Most students were awed by her appearance and someone let out a surprise,
"Hey, isn't that Duke of Dawn kingdom, Mrs. Mariel Phoe--" However before they could finish,
"Tsk, Lame entry. Does she have nothing better than that? I've already seen 1000 times before" Mia clicked her tongue with annoyance.
'gulp'
Her voice was loud and it surely reached the guest....despite being ridiculed for lame entry, the guest simply stared the Mia and returned her focus to the portal which was behind the students whirling with white colour.
Everyone knew the internal problem between Mother and daughter....how did they know? Well, simple, Mia clearly stated from the moment she joined the Nex that she and her mother were nothing but strangers.
Those who approached her to make contact suddenly lost interest.
Eli rubbed his eyes with tiredness.
"Well, enter the dungeon according to the group number and please note that.....we are recording everything.
So, don't do anything like an idiot" Aadya said as her gaze lingered on mostly boys before looking at the girls and added,
"If you feel danger, shatter the bracelet, and it will transport you here...though the moment you suffer enough damage, you will automatically transported here and as for Mortals, they have to wear two bracelets.
Well then do your best in this 'Training Program'"
Some people noticed it weird but they shrugged it off thinking they were nervous as this was their first 'A+' Grade Dungeon.
Soon, one group by one group entered finally solo Rize entered.
'ssshhh'
After she disappeared. Aadya displayed the students' current location.
"Sorry, I am a little late" a voice sounded as a masked woman emerged from the portal.
"..."
"..."
The other two women looked at the newcomer and said,
"Seems like she same as usual"
"Thought so"
e on, Aunt. You know how busy I am, right?" The masked woman said as she sat."I know you Lady, I know how much you hate working, Rose" Mariel said nonchalantly as her attitude seemed different from what she expressed before.
"I just heard from my Neice, that you pushed everything onto her?" Rose asked with little sarcasm.
"....I am no--"'
Before she could finish, Rose took her phone and,
"You Mother fucker, how dare you leave me with these ugly fiends to visit my bro---"
'ppshh'
Rose's phone burned away with a single look from Mariel.
"Seems like someone making friends with my cute daughter" Mariel as her tone turned strict.
"Well, I do like your daughter's bad mouth...so why not?" Rose said carefreely as threw the melted phone and took a spare phone.
"Do you want to fight?" Mariel asked suddenly.
"No way, I am not interested in fighting with you, Aunt" Rose immediately responded and put her phone away, 'Even though we are the same rank, she can really beat me 3 out 10' Rose thought as she sweated inwardly.
"Well, why don't we focus on this" Aadya suddenly chimed in.
"..."
"..."
"Yeah"
"Yes"
They agreed pretty easily and mostly looked at their family.
