I regressed and became the Sword Ice King-Chapter 286 - - Festival 17- Class One Treausre Hunting 2

A large territory with large trees, a humid atmosphere and exotic plants.

Rain Forests were known for being home to a range of creatures and a giant RainForest wasn’t any less.

If there were any differences, however, it would be in their sizes.

The visitors gasped in shock at the sight of the hawk as it was smashed into the trees.

Partly because of its sudden appearance and mostly because of how it was taken care of.

Raph and Elsie watched in silence, tense at the sight before them when Raph felt a tap behind him.

Without turning back, the figure poked his head to his side, a mischievous smile on his face.

"I assumed you weren’t going to talk to me, Darrell?"

"Hah? You already knew it was me?" Darrell asked as he pulled through the crowd and stood next to him.

They were mostly surrounded by their classmates who were intrigued at the event but a few others were from other classes.

"I can detect every living thing around me….it would be weird if I couldn’t distinguish your Elven mana from the rest".

Darrell chuckled at his statement as he glanced at Elsie. "Hey Elsie, been a while".

"....yeah" she replied with an awkward smile.

"What’s Jane up to? They should be halfway through by now". Raoh asked as their attention was drawn to the screen.

The participants seemed to have chosen different parts. The tree branches.

They were large enough to be mistaken for a bridge and sturdy enough for all seven of them to land on them.

Some were even in heavy Armour like Rana in her paladin Armour, but all that weight didn’t amount to much in the Giant RainForest.

"He’s doing what he can. I’m sure you chose Jane to lead the group and Zara to identify the treasures and their hiding spots….the rest are mostly for defence and attack. They’ll be fine".

"I’m not worried about them finding the treasures…"

Raphs gaze shifted to the participants of the other classes, a slight intrigue in his expression.

Everyone had a tale to tell and a story behind their strength, but what he saw right now with his eyes had left him puzzled for a while.

The members of Group Silver included Ruth Balsey and Monica Starborne themselves.

The others included Richard Drugge, Ivan Matarly and Natalya Skatewood. Two were mages, and one was a Priest, with Richard and Ivan being the strongest at level 30 and Natalya being their Healer at level 29.

Now, these weren’t the bizarre occurrences that caught his attention, but rather the other two members he had just got to know of.

Andrej Neubon, a level 50 Beast Knight and Tomaz Lonstar, a level 55 Warlock.

Despite being a student in the academy and having a past life, he had not even remembered seeing these two in his set.

’If there were people like them in my Past life, then I should have known them….they’re too strong for their age to not be unknown’.

He thought as he folded his hands, his thoughts reaching a deep contemplation.

Elsie noticed his sudden change in mood, despite his expression remaining the same and endeavoured to ask.

"What’s wrong Hubby?"

He flinched and turned to her while Darrell narrowed his gaze, and remained in his position.

"What do you mean?"

"You seem lost in thoughts…"

Raph sighed and turned back to the screen. "Have you seen those two before, the one with the light brown hair and the blonde from Class One Silver?"

Elsie turned to the screen, her gaze flickering. "Now that you mention it…."

"Oh, you mean Andrej and Tomaz? Yeah, I heard they were one of the Professor’s pupils. They are exchange students, and they were admitted a few weeks ago when you two weren’t around".

Raph raised a brow as he turned to Darrell.

"Which professor?".

Darrell shrugged as he replied. "Katherin".

A sudden silence ensued after that, the cheers of the visitors and students slowly dying off in Raph’s head as he shifted his gaze away from Darrell.

’She brought her pupils into the Academy as exchange students? Do we even have another academy that rivals ours?’.

And it struck him, an Academy well known before the establishment of Homeric Academy.

It had long roots, starting from the foundation of mana on Earth.

’Greenwitch academy for Mages’.

But just like the name stated, they were a school for mages and magicians.

They shouldn’t have nurtured warriors like Andrej.

A sigh exuded from his lips. ’I should leave…my thoughts are all over the place’.

He turned towards Elsie, giving her a perk on her cheek as he said. "Watch the match for me".

Her brows arched in confusion.

"Okay…but where are you going–

Before she could complete her statement, he had already walked away through the crowd.

Elsie turned to Darrell who was also surprised by Raph’s sudden departure.

"Who’s Professor Katherin".

"Just one of the professors introduced us to our sermon by the Headmaster. You remember her, the mage with the fiery hair".

"Oh?" Elsie muttered, her thoughts reeling in as she looked away. ’Is she related to these System Uprisers I keep hearing about?’.

She glanced up at the images of the two males they had just talked about. ’Is he worried about them?’

*****

At an equal distance away from Team Gold was Team Silver, led by the Class Monitor and Deputy who ran through the shades of the tall leaves.

They took the ground, ignoring the wet, mushy surface and tall grasses that hid trouble from the naked eye.

"We should check the southern part of the RainForest. We’ll find the jackal crown and herb healing potions in that region".

A dark-haired boy with round glasses spoke up. He was wearing a priest-like costume, though black and red in colour.

He was Richard Drugge and a level 30 Priest.

"They’re both expert grades. Why go all the way to the other end of the forest for fifty points when we can go for the transcendent and get additional points with the hundred?"

That was Natalya, their Healer. She was a girl who had an eye for profit and sharp ears for information. Mostly because she came from a family of merchants.

"Natalya has a point. It’s strange enough that the transcendent was made to appear after collecting a set of equipment but placing it at the most dangerous part of the Forest causes room for caution".

Monica said with a sigh, manoeuvring their way through the shade.

"We don’t have all the time. We should just get to the set of equipment before the others. There’s no way they would have this sort of information".

Just then, Andrej walked up to the front of the group, placing his hand on Monica’s shoulder and causing a sudden change in the atmosphere.

The students gathered turned towards him in unison, glaring at him with furious expressions.

The boy chuckled lightly and shifted away from Monica. Find exclusive content at novelbuddy

"I just wanted to ask, but won’t class Gold be aware of this too?" He said with a wry smile.

He had droopy ash-coloured eyes, which seemed to go well with his Light brown hair, and a lax expression, which only further annoyed the others.

"Didn’t I tell you, Andrej? We aren’t welcomed yet. We should remain good little boys like the Class Monitor said and stay at the back".

Monica slowly turned her gaze to the blonde male with blue eyes, a scowl forming on her face.

"If you knew that, then you should have stayed at the back". She said to Andrej.

"Well, I would have if only you didn’t consider the Gold Class upstaging you once again. What if they are already aware of this information? ".

"They’ve never upstaged us in the first place! And this is information their greedy hands could never get" Ruth cut in with a sharp tongue, her patience slowly running thin as she reached the Sword around her waist.

Richard sighed, his gaze wavering between the people gathered.

Unlike the image they were made to portray in public, the class members of Class One Silver were quite appalled with their existence.

It didn’t matter if their goals aligned with theirs, or if they shared the same hatred towards the Great families and the Gold Class as they did.

Both of these figures were introduced into their Class on a random day, causing a stir of resilience within the class.

Alas, their opinions didn’t matter as it was ascertained by the Principal.

"We don’t have all the time in the world, guys. Let’s just focus on getting the treasures…"

Just then a loud tick sound like a digital clock echoed in the air.

This caught their attention as they looked up at the sky and read the information written on it.

This was the same magic used to project the timer in the air and served as a form of notice board.

It read, boldly.

Amount of Accumulated Points

Class One Gold- nil

Class One Silver- nil

Class One Bronze- 500

The group of seven stared in shock for a moment before Monica snapped out of the surprise and continued to lead the way.

"Focus people! Let’s not get so focused on the Gold Class that we forget about the Bronze! They are as much of a threat as they are".

Her classmates hurried after her, Andrej and Tomaz lingering behind them.

"Class One Gold hasn’t started?"

"Seems like it. They probably have a plan of theirs as well". Tomaz replied as they walked after the group slowly.

"I’m thinking we might class with them, or should we slip up and go find him ourselves?"

Tomaz chuckled lightly. "Why are you in a rush? We have two hours until the end of the festival. We can kill him within the time limit".

Andrej remained silent after that, his thoughts reeling in as they hastened towards the group at the command of Monica.

’It’s only a matter of time now until our first goal….Jane Lucia’.

A devious smirk hid beneath his expression as he lowered his head, while they followed the group to their next destination.
