Thump!
The decelerating Fire Dragon finally stopped.
“Why did we stop?”
“Are we here? Is this the place?”
“Phew… the exam is finally starting.”
The apprentice magisters in the carriage began to talk among themselves.
“Brother…”
His sister gripped Austin’s hand nervously.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Austin smiled reassuringly at Catherine, though his heart rate accelerated as well.
Catherine had only sparred with her classmates at the school’s training ground.
She had no hunting experience at all.
As for Austin’s words, there was no need to say more.
At most, he had helped his mother kill chickens and ducks.
As for vicious beasts, he had never even seen them alive, much less killed them.
However, as the elder brother, Austin must put on a brave face.
He had already practiced killing every beast recorded in the manual dozens of times in his mind.
Austin did not have any magical talent, but there was something about him that made him special.
Austin took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“Phew… The hunt begins!”
“Click—”
The door of the ‘Fire Dragon’ transport vehicle opened accompanied by a hot white magical wave.
The assistant examiners in the carriages shouted, “Go on, fellow rookies!”
“Return to the station alive at this time tomorrow!”
“The time has come to hunt!”
“Our city’s children are no cowards!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Every assistant examiner yelled different things.
But without exception, they inspired everyone in their own way.
Over a thousand apprentice magisters rushed out of the carriages.
Austin left the station with his sister as well.
A few examiners led by Elder Chuan walked out of the ‘Fire Dragon’ vehicle.
Cass led the way. “Everyone, we shall wait in the control center of Vicious Beast Town.”
Hika, the Martian hunter, and Ankti nodded.
…
After leaving the transport station, the town came into view.
Although it was named a town, in reality, Vicious Beast Town covered an area larger than ordinary towns.
There were thousands of ferocious beasts living here!
The only difference was that these beasts lived under the supervision and control of humans.
The apprentice magisters scattered into groups.
Teaming up could effectively increase their chances of survival, or at least that was what they thought.
“Brother, should we team up with others?”
Catherine asked hesitantly.
“No need. No matter how many losers there are in the group, they will still be losers.”
“Becoming stronger yourself is the only option!”
Austin’s gaze sharpened.
“Catherine, I’m going to start training you next.”
Catherine was still a little worried, but she chose to trust her brother.
After rejecting a few waves of apprentice magisters who wanted to form teams with them, they headed towards the streets that had fewer people.
This place was like the world in those doomsday movies—desolate, rundown, and overgrown with weeds.
Abandoned shops lined up along the streets.
