Chapter 237: Being a Good Person is Difficult
The group didnt have a chance to speak before James started the assignment. Just because the monsters were low level didnt mean a group of freshmen would have it easy. For a bunch of rookies like them, this was already considered hard!
At their current level, the students would have a difficult time defeating one monster, never mind two.
Some in the group were frowning, while others were full of confidence.
Everyone, work hard. Ill go in first, said a sword user. He stepped into the forest with a long sword in his hand.
Im going in. Another sword user, this time female, walked in.
The others took action after watching two of their classmates walking in fearlessly.
Xiao Wu, lets go. Be careful though. Ink cheered Feng Wu on.
You too.
They walked into the exam room and split off in different directions.
It was a huge forest with lush trees that covered the ground in dark shadows. Feng Wu walked alone down the quiet path with her dagger in hand.
James stood somewhere in the world observing the students reactions. Some were already fighting, while others were fleeing. Some were cautious while others were reckless. As a master with high cultivation, it was easy for James to see the expression on the students faces. He knew everything within several hundred meters of him just by focusing his mind.
A male student was resting in a hidden spot after unceremoniously defeating a beast and collecting its core.
Another boy, named Ou Meng, was more cautious. He and his mother, a minor concubine, were often bullied by the main wife and her eldest son. He and his mother were forced to reduce their monthly deposits.
He was forced to learn how to make money at a young age, so the money-making assignment from the first semester was easy for him. He got a good grade and made it to the top ten. This brought the family's attention on him and suddenly his mother, who had been forgotten by his father, was remembered again.
He had to work hard so he and his mother could have a better life at home. Failing wasnt an option for this assignment or any other. He wouldnt give his aunt a chance to hurt him or his mother.
Hoo. He tore a piece off his clothes and wrapped his wound. The pain and injuries received in the virtual world felt realistic. You had to get properly treated by a doctor or take the right medicine to heal.
It wasnt possible to find a doctor to treat his injuries in his current situation though. He had to make do with basic dressing to stop the bleeding.
He had to hunt down a monster to complete the assignment, so he couldnt afford to lose consciousness from loss of blood.
Ou Meng carefully hid inside a hole in a tree and didnt come out even though he heard footsteps nearby. He wouldnt risk it until he knew if the person was malicious or not.
The footsteps got closer and closer. From the haggard breathing, it was obvious the person was running madly.
Soon enough a beautiful, young girl wielding a sword entered Ou Mengs sight. Her eyes were full of panic as she occasionally looked over her shoulder at what was chasing her.
She was clearly worn out, but the monster chasing her was also injured. The two must have had a fierce fight, before the girl lost ground and had to retreat. The enraged monster wouldnt let her escape though.
Ou Meng didnt come out from his hiding place. The teacher had made it clear the assignment wasnt a team battle, but an individual one. He didnt intend to put himself at risk to save a random stranger.
He would wait and see. The girl would be teleported out if she succumbed to the monsters attack. The mini worlds were different in that people wouldnt get ejected out of the virtual world if they died. Instead they would just be teleported out of the mini world.
The girl rushed forward madly. Just as she thought she was going to die, a figure appeared. The person was dark-haired and a known celebrity in the freshman class, the only demigod disciple, a source of envy and jealousy in the freshman sword class.
Classmate Feng Wu! Please help me! The girl rushed to Feng Wu frantically, as though toward her savior.
Since entering, Feng Wu had already hunted one monster and was looking for another. She didnt expect to find a second one so quickly. As for the girl crying for help, Feng Wu had no time for her.
Feng Wu raised her sword as the girl rushed toward her. The girl watched as the monster she had been running so fearfully away from was quickly dispatched with a few swift slashes by Feng Wu.
It wasnt just the girl, Ou Meng was also sighing in surprise. With that kind of strength, it was no wonder she made it as a demigods disciple.
Feng Wu immediately reached for the monster core. The rescued girl walked over out of breath. She stared at the core as she spoke. Classmate Feng Wu, thank you for helping me get the core! With a friendly smile on her face, she reached a hand out for the core, as if it belonged to her.
Feng Wu dealt the finishing blow, but she was the one who fought the monster and brought it nearly half to death, so naturally the core belonged to her.
She didnt think about what would have happened if Feng Wu hadnt arrived. Never mind the magic core, it was questionable if she could even remain in the mini world.
She was confident Feng Wu would be too embarrassed to not hand it over. A pity Feng Wu didnt follow her script.
Feng Wu didnt bother responding to the girl, instead she put the magic core in the space ring.
Feng Wu, you think you can look down on your classmates just because youre a disciple of a demigod? Thats a magic core Ive worked hard for. Give it to me! The girl ignored her injuries and threatened Feng Wu in a loud voice.
Ou Meng, who had remained hidden through the whole ordeal, only had one thought: No good deed went unpunished. It was hard being a good person.
He was glad he hadnt rescued the beauty like some hothead.
