The valley extended for several kilometres and was quite huge. There were no monsters and beasts that lowered the student's difficulty.
The mock test had a time limit of 1 day in the outside world which was equal to two days in this virtual realm.
The students here would feel every sensation similar to the real world. You will hunger, fear and even the real-life experience of feeling the pain of dying.
There are two rivers following in this place through which you can quench your thirst and for food, you need to rely on your knowledge to identify which plant here is edible and which is not.
Some tried to bring the food from outside but it was taken away.
All the classes would take some time to familiarise themselves with their surroundings after which they would start the hunt.
By the end, the classes with the most flags would win. However, in reality, it was points.
Each flag would give 1000 points to the class. Except that killing a 1-Star would give 2 points, a 2-Star 6 points and killing a 3-Star would give 10 points. The person who carries the flag for his class would get 25 points for each hour, he managed to defend it.
Suppose a guy kept it for 59 minutes, and it was snatched by someone but the guy snatched it back then the time would reset and the half an hour countdown would begin again.
The person who snatched it would get 50 points if he managed to keep it for an hour after which the countdown of 25 points per hour would continue.
Since there has been no precedent where someone can score points greater than snatching a flag by killing, snatching a flag is regarded as the best pay to win.
As there was still an ample amount of time, everyone should have focused on defence for the first few hours.
However, a certain guy ignited the flames of war.
Swish!
"Draw your bow!"
"Fire!'
"Bring him down!"
Cries of command echoed one after another.
Swoosh!Swoosh!Swoosh!
"Damn, he got away."
"He deflected my arrows."
The arrows whistling in the air rushed forward leaving a silver trail.
Screams of pain filled the air.
"Front row attack!"
A group of warriors ran at the figure darting across the narrow valley to escape but before they could reach him.
Swish!
"Kyakkkkk!"
A bloody scream echoed as the man's head was pierced by an arrow. Following it many arrows were fired.
"This guy has a helper. Find the archer. I repeat, find the archer."Hailey, the Captain of the class A-4 shouted.
"Mages cut off his path of retreat, "Rizzard, the captain of Class A-1 screamed.
"Hailey, I will use my mage to block. You pursue him."Rizzard signalled his mage squad and ordered them to change the structure of the terrain.
A huge earthen wall rose trying to block the entrance. However, leaving a flash of blue light, a spear thrashed onto the earthen wall.
BOOM!
Drawing a hole in the wall, Frederick escaped from the circle of archers and mages.
Seeing the scene of Frederick escaping from the joint net cast by several classes made them infuriated.
Jenny, one of the captains who took part in this, slammed his hand on the table.
"Damn, we wasted so much manpower still we weren't able to catch him."
Three hours ago, someone noticed Frederick striding towards the river holding a flag. After sending scouts to look for the situation, they found that Frederick was alone and seemed to have broken out from the class.
This gave them a suitable opportunity to strike however, Frederick escaped from them. The sudden battle alerted the other classes and after getting the hang of the situation, every class seemed to pounce on Frederick because he was an easy target. On top of that many hated him and wanted to use this opportunity to crush him directly.
Jenny had a headache thinking about the scene of Frederick easily dodging and avoiding the arrow that blew her mind. It was as if he had a pair of eyes behind him.
Moreover, the archer that helped him was quite swift and nimble. The archer hid his presence and disappeared as soon as Frederick escaped.
"Our class is one of the weakest. This was a godsend opportunity thrown at us, alas."
Jenny stomped the ground. Her class A-10 was the weakest.
As she lamented, she heard a call from behind.
''Jenny, we received from the scouts that Class C-1 wants to talk about something."
Jenny frowned for a moment. Taking a moment to think, she decided to agree.
After a few moments.
Jenny appeared at the meeting spot and saw a yellow-haired boy waiting for him.
"Miss Jenny, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too Zack."
"I heard you have an offer for me."Jenny while speaking with Alfred, peeked around for any possible danger.
"You don't need to worry. I am here to seek active cooperation."Zack smiled and seeing Jenny's surprised gaze, started to explain.
"I want you to cooperate with me to get hold of Frederick. After getting the flags, we will distribute the points between the two classes. As you know, our classes are the weakest among the bunch so it's better to stick together. And don't worry, my class is prepared to be the scapegoat."
Jenny finally understood how class C-1 reached. This guy must have played a vital role. He suggested dividing the points but who knows what he will do after getting the flag.
"Okay, I agree."Jenny agreed but inwardly she sneered.
"Happy Cooperation."
...
While battles started to break all around the place.At the far end of the place.
Lucas standing above the high ground observed the flow of a river with a grave expression. Lucas took note of his surroundings before getting to work.
"You have already planned about this even before the competition. How did you know we would be in this terrain?"Charles, who stood beside Lucas, asked, narrowing his eyes.
He was chosen as captain but he feels that he was just a puppet whose strings are in this guy's hand.
"It's simple.6 out of 10 terrains have rivers unless it's desert or ocean side. However, those terrains had already been used in previous battles."Lucas answered, shrugging his shoulders.
Charles wanted to voice out his doubts but Lucas just shut him up.
"I just prepared for this scenario. If we have another terrain, I would have used another tactic. Now get back to work. You need to drink litres of potion if you want to modify the landscape.''
"With this, I don't owe you anything anymore," Charles spoke and looked down.
"What?"Lucas gave Charles an absurd gaze.
"Hey, I am not doing this for my gain. I am doing this for the whole class. You owe a favour to me not to the class so this can't be counted."Lucas snorted.
Want to escape easily? Dream on.
"You can only repay my grace when you save me from a life-threatening situation. This is the principle of equality.''Lucas mocked.
Leaving Charles stupefied. Lucas pulled out three storage rings and jumped down, pulling out the things in it.
And at the very next moment, heaps of logs fall on the river channel.
"Charles, your turn."
Charles sighed heavily wondering when he became changed so much.
