Chapter 24: To Get an A (1)
Entrance of Loran Academy, heavy traffic.
The day of the actual combat drill was finally here.
The students who passed the selection test gathered at the academy. They will be led by the teacher to Black Lake Forest in the southern part of Lombard Kingdom to participate in the exciting and stimulating actual combat drill.
Black Lake Forest was one of the few large jungles in Lombard Kingdom. Among them, demonic beasts ran rampant and it was full of dangers. Although there weren’t any particularly high-level demonic beasts, the cold-blooded hunters who hid in the dark could easily kill anyone who got too complacent.
According to rumors, there was a strange lake in the deepest part of the forest. The lake was a horrifying black and emitted a deadly miasma. It was difficult for normal people to reach, but it was a good place for demonic beasts to live. It was called Black Lake and the forest was hereby called Black Lake Forest.
The mission for this actual combat drill was to go to the deepest part of Black Lake Forest, find the Jackalwere camp, kill the leader and completely eliminate this pack of cunning Jackalwere!
A while ago, this group of Jackalwere who should have stayed in the forest suddenly rushed out of Black Lake Forest to attack nearby villages, then they fled back to the depths of the forest to hide. They were ferocious and despicable, they burned and looted, many innocent villagers have suffered. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, they must be completely eliminated!
Originally, this kind of work should have been left to the Holy Light Church and the kingdom’s army. However, the Holy Light Church seems to have encountered something troublesome recently, so members of the church have been rushing to the south. They did not have the manpower to take care of such trivial matters. If one wanted to mobilize the army, the procedure was very complicated. It must be approved at various levels and leaders would have to be found. When the order is finally given, who knows how many more people would die.
Therefore, the principal of Loran Academy volunteered to take over this job that no one wanted to do. They would send students to hunt the Jackalweres, eradicate the problem at the root, and at the same time conduct the actual combat drill, killing two birds with one stone.
