Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 230: Curiosity!

"Whether they are capable or not, we will know that soon!"

Olivia's nonchalant response surprised the professors, and they all quieted down for a moment.

Luis, as the top student, must have some brushes. So, it was understandable for them that Professor Olivia was confident in him.

However, what about the rest of the team? This was not a solo competition! No matter how outstanding he is! The team's performance must not be lacking, otherwise it would still be considered a failure!

Just now, they had read the data of the other members of Team 3. Although their student rankings were not low in the entrance exam, their performance wasn't particularly eye-catching.

Hence, they couldn't understand where Olivia's confidence was coming from. At least they don't dare to speak so arrogantly on behalf of their students yet.

With obvious curiosity, they all glanced at Olivia, having similar thoughts in their minds. 'Is there something special about the other members of 'Team 3'?'

Since arriving at the academy, Luis' performance has always been crushing, which all the professors were well aware of. Now that it seems there are more outstanding students hidden in Leviathan Class. Many professors felt deep envy for her.

Why don't they have such talented students?!

Professor Hardy noticed that the atmosphere inside the lounge had become a little strange, so he immediately smoothed things over.

"Haha! That's great! So many talented future pillars of Alnaur have joined our Oracle Academy this year! We should all do our best to provide a suitable training environment for them to develop faster!"

Professor Vindsmokwe also nodded his head in support and uttered with bright eyes.

"This year, geniuses from all over the world are flooding over one after another! Is this the so-called 'Monster generation' mentioned by the 'Headmaster'?!"

Thinking of 'Headmaster', Professor Vindsmokwe sighed and stopped speaking. Some of the other professors also sighed upon hearing his words and nodded in approval. Most of them agreed with his statement.

However, a few had different views regarding this, but didn't speak out. So as not to arouse others' dissatisfaction.

By now, the mood inside the lounge has eased up a bit and the professors, who were a little unhappy before, also calmed down. They were all now interested to see how 'Team 3' would solve the disgusting swarm of poisonous monsters.

Or whether Olivia would lose face? If so, the professors who envy her would gloat for sure!

No matter the result! They were all looking forward to the upcoming battle! Even Professor Darrin's stiff and indifferent face showed interest.

[Olivia, are you sure about this?] Hena beside her asked, using her mind technique so that only Olivia could hear.

"Just watch." With those words, Olivia used her mental strength to cut the mental link and stopped paying attention to her. Upon seeing this, Hena let out a helpless sigh.

Olivia understood Hena's concern, but there was no need for this. She was unaffected by the professors' thoughts. She spoke what she believed in, so it didn't matter if others disagreed with her.

She also observed the screen. However, unlike others, her attention was not on Luis but on a figure holding twin daggers in his hands, acting the role of 'Striker' on this team.

An inconspicuous student in class, whose only impression in her mind was that of an extremely lazy and unmotivated person. Sometimes, she even wondered how such a person would even pass the entrance exam for the prestigious Oracle Academy and enter an elite class.

However, just yesterday, she had her conception of him shattered. She discovered that this listless student of hers appeared to be deeply hidden. His strength was way more than he showed on the surface. This realization made her surprised and interested.

'Cobert Ruse, let me see how much you are hiding!'

Olivia thought inwardly, with a sharp scrutinizing glint in her eyes.

***

Inner area of the Poisonous Swamp Zone.

Luis and the others were unaware that all the professors outside had their attention on them.

Right now, they were slowly entering the territory of Poison Moths and were observing their surroundings on high alert.

Suddenly! They all stopped.

Thirty meters away from them, they found two Poison Moths sitting on a tree branch.

Right then! Lily's voice also sounded inside Luis' mind.

[Poison Moths (F and E-Rank)

Size: 0.48 meters

Description: They release poisonous powder, which paralyses their target's nerves and also acts as a slow poison, which makes them suffer excruciating pain until death.]

Luis had already learned about these monsters in class, but he didn't stop Lily's behaviour.

One reason is that he might not always remember the detailed information about all the monsters he encounters.

Another reason is by letting Lily analyse the monster's strengths and weaknesses. She could better assist him in battle.

In a way, this can be considered a good habit.

Cobert glanced at Luis, as if asking whether to take action. Luis shook his head in denial and spoke in a low voice.

"Before reaching the planned battle site, we will avoid all confrontations with the Poison Moths unless necessary."

"But Luis, isn't it better to reduce their numbers before attacking the swarm?" Bonnie expressed her suggestion.

Sufi nodded. "I agree! Why do we have to avoid them? It's just two insects! I alone am enough to deal with them!"

She was confident that her two shots of fireball would be enough to roast those two Poison Moths to death.

Cobert didn't say anything, he just yawned and nodded along with them. However, Luis also noticed that Cobert gave a sideway glance in a certain direction. Which made him sure that he had already found out, but was still pretending to be oblivious.

Luis curled his lips and gave him a disdainful look, which Cobert completely ignored.

'This bastard! Just wait and see how I make you work to death for me!'

Holding back his annoyance, Luis pointed towards the tree at a further distance and spoke.

"There are at least twenty more Poison Moths on that tree."

Sufi and Bonnie's eyes turned sharply as they looked at the tree Luis was pointing at in unison.

Cobert imitated Bonnie's surprised reaction and also stared at that 'tree', which he had 'just' found out, showing how 'surprised' he was.

Luis rolled his eyes, not bothering to disclose his poor acting, and continued speaking.

"The soil here is damp because of the poisonous liquid. So, if we start fighting now, the noise will attract more monsters and this terrain will restrict our movements, putting us in an unfavourable situation."

"If we are swarmed in place, even if we may not die. It would be a battle with our lives on the line. There's no need to take such a risk. When we can perfectly avoid it, just by changing the location and have an easier way out to deal with them, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding, and they continued moving towards the planned battle site without alerting the monsters on their way.
