Chapter 163: Go faster
The first two days went by on the island, and nothing had happened yet. With the supplies they had, they were able to survive without issue. Riven stood outside sparring with Noel when suddenly an announcement sounded around the island—it was Quin’s voice.
("The first stage of your examination has begun. Different beasts are going to begin roaming the forest. The monsters are ranked from A all the way to F, with A being the strongest and F being the weakest.
F-ranked beasts carry ten points, with an increment of ten points for every rank higher. Gather as many points as possible; you will be graded individually and as a class.
This exam will span two days. A certain threshold has been set, and if you are lower than it, you will fail. Best of luck.")
The announcement came to an end, and immediately, growls could be heard deep inside the forest.
Riven and Noel looked at the forest. They saw beasts running around inside, and then suddenly, goblins leaped out—more than ten of them. There was a letter shining above their heads: F, glowing bright.
"That’s their ranking?" Riven asked.
"Looks like it," Noel said before lunging forward at full speed. He cut down one goblin without issue. The golden light on the goblin shifted to him after he killed it and clung to the back of his hand, showing the number ten.
Noel looked at the number. "So this is how it works then," he muttered before attacking the next one. Riven charged in. He cut down the first goblin, and without stopping, he lunged at the next and killed it.
