Chapter 590 Rules of the man-made dungeon

In the end, alongside Avia, Reed, and Isolde, 6 more members were selected from various attributes. Surprisingly, three of them have the Earth attribute and no one from the lightning attribute was selected. As a result, Azzy decided to handle it by himself.

After deciding on the time and place, Azzy left the clan village and made a visit to Egrein City to ask for his friend\'s help as she was the only wood user he knew.

Three days later;

Emerald Academy, Emerald City;

Leaving behind Aaron to watch over the academy, the Principal followed Azzy to Eldermist Lake, which is located within the city limits and relatively considered a safe place.

There\'s not much to say about this lake to discuss anything, atleast until now. 

Its history is going to change and might even become a popular tourist location in the future with Azzy\'s new move, or so the principal thought as soon as he entered through the portal opened up on the tiny island located in the middle of the lake.

Roughly an hour later, both of them exited the portal. As Azzy closed the portal, the principal asked, "Captain Garcia, is this really necessary for a simple graduation examination?" He was impressed for sure, but at the same time, he felt like it was overkill.

Azzy turned toward the principal to look him in the eyes and firmly nodded, "Yes, it is necessary. I want them to understand how dangerous the outside world is. And I don\'t mean the monsters."

The Principal stared at this young man for a few seconds, trying to understand what the latter meant. After realizing it, he thought for a few more seconds before saying, "Still, I feel that is a bit of a loss. So, I have an idea. Why don\'t we use this opportunity to improve our relations with other academies?"

"Hmm? What do you have in mind?"

Two weeks later;

A total of 75 students were gathered at the shores of the lake with Azzy standing before them.

Of them, only 47 are from Emerald Academy. The remaining 28 comprised students from top-tier academies like the Phoenix Academy, Maple Academy, Sun Academy, and Dragon Academy, with each of them sending 7 students each.

Principal Danvary had used all of his influence to convince those academies to send their students to participate. 

For the tenth-grade students of Emerald Academy, this is a graduation test. But for these outsiders, it was like an event. 

Of course, they didn\'t simply send their students on trust. For their students\' protection, guardians were sent along. They also toured in the grand dungeon Azzy prepared for the examination. Only, then, it was approved.

Anyways, back to the present, Azzy counted the students to see if everyone was present or not. After the attendance was over, he put away the list and spoke of the rules without any sort of expression on his face. It\'s as if he returned to his previous self.

"I will only speak once. So, listen carefully and remember them very well. Once I open the door, all of you will enter at the same time but will end up in different locations. You might end up alone or in a group. It all depends on your luck if I had to be honest.

You will be done with the test when either 36 hours are completed or when you find the finishing line. Principal Danvary and Vice Principals of other academies were waiting for you there.

The dungeon is divided into four types of zones. First is the wild zone, which contains various traps and monsters below rank 4. Here, everything is allowed, except for killing another human.

Second is the monster zone, which contains monsters from rank-4 to rank-6. In this place, you also find skill cards. Here, you cannot attack another human or steal their belongings.

Third is the battle zone, which has guardians waiting for you. Here, you can challenge the guardian for a spar to earn points. You can also challenge a fellow student for a battle to steal his belongings.

The last and final is the safe zone, where fighting is prohibited. You can rest here, and purchase things like equipment, Item cards, fragments of map, SP recovery cards, or skill cards, from the guardian with the points you earned.

The battle zone and the safe zones are isolated from the rest and can be recognized by the signs placed before them. However, the wild zone and monster zone merge with each other on the same field. There are hints of warning placed outside of the monster zone but you have to depend on your vision to find them.

Coming to the point system, monsters below rank 4 are worth 1 point. Rank-4 monsters are worth 2 points. Rank-5 monsters are worth 5 points. And Rank-6 monsters are worth 20 points. Kill them and earn the points.

Those who don\'t want to kill can search for the black crystal orbs, which are spread all over the wild zone and monster zone. Each one is worth a point.

The one who reaches the finishing line within the time limit will receive a full score, and the one who cannot reach it will have their score tallied by the number of points they have accumulated. Each point is worth 1 mark. So, if you have 100 points, you will also score full marks. 

Another important thing that I need to mention is about the prohibitions. Everyone is prohibited from using any kind of skill cards, item cards, or any external items like weapons and armor in the dungeon. Not even healing cards and SP recovery cards are allowed. You can only use the ones they found during the test.

Remember that all of you will be secretly observed by the experts. They will be the ones who will decide how many points each of you will earn if you team up and kill a monster.

Now, coming to the rule breakers, obviously, rule breaking will cause a deduction in your points. 

But, based on the severity of the rule-breaking, you might also be expelled from the competition altogether or you might also be punished on the spot. So, don\'t be complacent just because you have strength or background. Here, where you come from doesn\'t matter. Everyone will be treated impartially. 

Last but not least, Principal Danvary asked me to inform all of you that a scout from WAMO will be observing this test. Those with excellent performance might get a recommendation. 

Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, let\'s proceed with the examination."

*Snap*

With a snap of his finger, a door appeared on the island, making almost everyone\'s entire attention shift to it.

As the door opened on its own, revealing a portal, Azzy stretched his hand toward the door, "Go."
