A day had passed, and today was the second day of the exam. I was sleeping in the tent that I had set up. I didn't know what time it was so I had to go out and check how bright the sun was.
It was still pretty early, the sun was rising, and everyone looked like they were still asleep. I didn't need to wake them up yet as we needed as much energy as they could have for today's hunt.
Needing to do something, I began to train with my sword. Practicing with a sword at first was pretty exciting because of the new experience of having never used a sword. While it wasn't as exciting as before, I still felt the need to practice just in case an incident might happen again.
Having to practice for an hour, I stopped. I didn't want to spend more energy. I had other things I needed to do. So I began preparing to make breakfast for everybody, like yesterday I had skinned a rank one monster.
The smell of the cooked meat attracted everyone in my group. They had begun to wake up just to have breakfast.
"Good morning, everyone!" I greeted them as they began to come out of their tent. Trisha and
Elly came out of the same tent. I guess they were talking to each other during the night.
"Morning!" Trisha said, happily giving me an energetic greeting.
"Good morning!" Elly, looking tired, said, trying to muster as much energy as possible.
"Mhm!" Crystal grunted and nodded, trying to return a greeting.
Doing the finishing touch of our breakfast, everyone began to eat. It was peaceful when we started to eat. While having just meat may be a heavy meal for breakfast, no one here was complaining.
After finishing our meal, we sat on a carpet I had bought. Discussed what we were going
to do today and told them my thoughts. They didn't hesitate and agreed with my plan.
Since we didn't have much time to train, I decided that we should absorb mana for two hours before hunting for more monsters. So when we finish our morning hunt, we will have our lunch after that.
Then we would absorb mana for two more hours and begin to hunt until the sun sets down. After that, we are free to do what we want for the rest of the day.
With a plan like that, we would have a schedule and try to be efficient without wasting time. Seeing that the three of them began to absorb mana, I took a long walk to the forest. I haven't had much action since our trip. I ran into the forest for thirty minutes and began to hunt for monsters.
There was a group of five rank two monkeys in the third level. If I didn't level the day before the exam, I would've felt a little threatened by these monkeys. Shooting five plasma for each monster's head, three of them had to dodge my plasma while the other two had penetrated their brain.
The remaining three monsters had begun to climb on trees, using any projectiles that they had to annoy me. Of course, I didn't have the agility to dodge these projectiles. Still, I made plasma armor, destroying anything that would hit me.
I seriously hate these kinds of monsters. They would run away when I chased them and attacked me. I had to use more mana just to kill them. Then, sending a burst of flames, the monkeys running around were burnt to death. They were screeching in a high pitch that would attract the attention of anything near its radius.
Seeing that they had died, I ran away from the place. Unfortunately, there could be many more monsters that the monkeys would have attracted. With me escaping from the site, I sat down and took a breather.
It had been an hour since I left the camp, and since I had accomplished what I wanted, I began to head back to camp.
Running back took me forty minutes to come back. My group members had been too absorbed in absorbing mana for them to notice that I had left. There were still twenty minutes left before we headed out again.
Using my magic, I burnt the dust around my body. When I fought the monkeys, I had two of them in perfect condition. Without a doubt, they would sell for many credits, the other three were unsightly to see, but they were still sellable.
Crystal was the first person to come out. I was surprised. She seemed the last person to do that since she always seemed so serious.
"How was your training?" I said, asking Crystal to see if anything went wrong.
Crystal shook her head. Seeing that I thought that something was wrong, she denied it. "I was wondering where you went earlier."
"I went out to hunt more monsters." I didn't have a reason to hide it from her, so I told her what I did.
"Don't you also need mana to drain?" She was worried when she said that. I was slightly surprised when she said that.
"You don't have to worry about it, I had done it all night, and I don't think I could get any more mana without hurting myself." But, of course, I lied, knowing that I could absorb mana automatically.
She was doubtful when she heard that, but seeing the expression on my face, she couldn't tell if I was telling the truth or not.
"Why don't you get ready and prepare? We would be hunting in ten minutes or so." Changing the topic, I told her to get ready. At this rate, our conversation would go nowhere.
Going to both Elly and Trisha, they were still concentrating on their training. I didn't want to interrupt them, but we had to go.
Tapping on their shoulders lightly, they woke up. It was a good thing that I didn't shock them. After waking up, we began our second hunt.
