Chapter 39: Chapter thirty nine

 

Inside the mana simulation room one could feel a myriad of emotions emanating from the group of students that had gathered there but one thing common was their anticipation of going inside the dungeon.

 

Laura and the other trainers came in and everyone was looking in their direction. 

 

“It’s great to see everyone, I know you guys are excited to dive inside so let’s not waste any time. Get ready.” She ordered and the students arranged themselves in groups.

 

Of course there were some who preferred to go alone.

 

The students were then led to the room which held the dungeon core, this core was shaped in the form of an arc made of some ancient brown colored metal. There were several runes inscribed on the arc similar to the one found in the actual dungeon and they lit up when Laura and others came inside.

“Since this is a mock run, instead of floors we have decided to make this a horizontal dungeon which has a vast plain. Once you step in it will do a random teleportation.” Laura explained.

 

Arata further explained, “You have only one goal i.e. to kill as many monsters as possible. Killing them will give you some points which will be displayed in your watches. Oh and if you are in a critical danger you would be forcefully teleported out.”  

 

“As always your tier would be suppressed so please enjoy yourselves.” He concluded with a smile and the groups began moving inside.

 

One by one all of them went inside and disappeared from sight. On the outside the trainers too decided to head back to the camera room and watch the newbies rendition.

 

“Officer Laura, who will be the overseer this time?” Giuseppe asked.

 

“Arata should be the overseer as he was the one who had designed the majority of things inside.” She thought and replied.

 

But Simon's faction started arguing on the terms that she was favoring him and it went against the notion of shared responsibilities, they wanted someone Simon to be the overseer.

 

She could not understand why someone like Simon wanted that position which was only for the show. But if that satisfied their faction then she had no qualms about that.

 

“Very well if Mr.Seinfeld wants to be an overseer he can do it but once inside he should follow the rules.” She replied and headed to the camera room.

 

“Thank you officer Laura.” Simon’s faction thanked her and they too headed out.

 

Only Giuseppe and Simon remained in the dungeon core room. Once outside Giuseppe asked, “Are you ready?”

 

“Just wait and watch.” Simon was feeling quite confident.

 

“Good but please Simon don’t try anything too severe, it's not worth it.” Giuseppe was a true friend who wanted him to be safe.

 

Simon smiled and teleported inside the dungeon.

 

Back on Akira’s side he along with a few other students was teleported in the western corner of the dungeon which had a grassland topography. He could also feel that the mana density in here was similar to that of an actual dungeon.

 

“AARGHH…. My he-head hurts.” One of the students fell on the ground while clutching his head.

And he was quickly followed by others feeling the same sensation, the thing was similar to what Akira had felt in his first dungeon run but thanks to the fact that he was ready, it wasn’t this severe.

 

“Aughh… so dense.” One of the wolfkin was also writhing in pain but he endured it better than others.

 

Akira decided to move forwards and survey the surroundings for monsters and other dangers. This mock dungeon run happened in the game too where Richard and his group were able to take the first position with a staggering 1054 points.

 

“Hmm if I remember correctly he was able to collect so many points because of a second tier wooden golem that was placed by Laura and other trainers.”

 

“Even if I wanted to I can’t get the first place as this is supposed to be a group activity and those with more numbers would definitely have more kills so what should I do then?”

“Oh right, status.”
