I created my own system

Chapter 138 Beasty Part II

A shattering sound came to Blair's ears and soon the black shadow figure in front of him turned out to be his friend.

"Mckenzie?"

He questions, quite confused about the situation. So in order to clarify what's going on he approaches his friend.

"Mck-"

"Ahhh!...don't approach me yet I still don't know the answer!"

"The what?"

Blair felt confused and so he took another step only to make his friend take a step back.

"Ah I see, the beast's illusion powers hadn't been lifted, since Mckenzie hasn't identified it"

He realized and since he had free time he decided to record Mckenzie's scream as he frantically typed his answer towards the floating screen.

"Hey, why are you chasing me!"

He can't help but say while Blair who was the beast's shadow began chasing after him, in his hand is a magical recorder.

...

"I should be able to do this"

Niko said to himself as he began to type, and as he pushed the words submit the rectangular screen disappeared and the shadow began to dissolve.

"What the!"

Right in front of him was Agnes who slowly appeared as the darkness disappeared.

"Princess!"

"Niko? You are the beast?"

Slowly each of the lower-class students began to solve the first beast that they encountered, however, the problem was that they became surprised when the illusion was off.

"Wait so you are that monster?"

Mckenzie asked while pointing his finger towards Blair.

"Yeah kind of, you see the beast uses illusion to confuse his enemies, and since he identifies us as one he tries to make us fight each other by using his illusion to turn us into monsters" Blair explains while hiding his recorder.

"So it only means you are the one who was chasing me!"

"Yeah kind of"

Mckenzie wanted to scold him for scaring him like that but decided to just stay quiet while pouting on the side.

"Hmph!"

"Hey, are you upset?"

"Hmph!"

Braiden who had a panic attack can't help but sit on the grassy and mossy ground.

"I don't wanna do that again" he could only say while Alya was by his side handing him some water.

"So in the end we have answered the right answer right?"

Aaron asked while feeling nervous.

"What did you guys answer" he added.

Then each of them began to look at each other before laughing. As they laugh their eyes go towards a certain location and that is right in the middle of them.

"Well it's better to come out now, you have been found out," Apollo said while looking at the empty place.

That spot then began to fluctuate and a bellowing sound can be heard along its body being revealed.

A beast that is known for being docile yet a fighter at times, a coat of pure white almost shimmering when touched by the light. Its build was huge along with its majestic antlers, branching out in a symmetrical and imposing manner. Its eyes were deep and expressive contrasting vividly against the snow-like fur it has.

The students couldn't help but smile, their answers were right.

The one who stood right in front of them was a...

"Rain forest Ivory Stag," Apollo said feeling better at the fact they were right.

A rainforest Ivory Stag is a rare magical beast which is typically a genetic variant of red deer. It can be potentially found in various habitats, including rainforests. While they are more commonly associated with temperate forests and open woodlands, their presence in rainforests is not impossible.

However, their occurrence would likely be influenced by specific local environmental conditions and the availability of suitable food sources.

It was really hard to identify it since it wasn't the only magical beast that used illusion. So what did the beast do that gave away its identity?

The answer is nothing, its illusion was too good unlike any species found in the same habitat and that's when the kids figured it out. The ivory stag is well known for its ability to confuse its enemy and hide itself from predators.

Their sensitivity towards illusions is also attributed to this achievement.

With their first beast being identified correctly the stag slowly dissipates as if it never existed from the very beginning.

"Now I am wondering if we are dealing with a real magical beast or if it's all magic created" Matilda wondered while dusting herself since she fell down when the shadow monster chased her, however, it turns out it was Casper.

"Now what?"

Vesta asked since they all remain standing where they were.

"We should probably start walking"

Apollo suggested which they all agreed.

...

Amidst this exam, six people are attentively watching them.

Those people were Gelda, their professor in History and Geography, Agatha in Magic and Creation 1, Professor Timothy in Beastmology, Professor Adolfo in Advancement and Physical training, Professor Alejo in Survival lesson 1 and lastly the headmaster.

"They are doing good"

"I really thought they would fail that one"

"Me too since discerning its skills is extremely hard because it often uses illusion to disguise itself as a predator"

Gelda, Agatha and Alejo said then Timothy suddenly asked.

"Which one of you put an ivory stag inside the forest?"

All three professors who first spoke looked at him confused.

"Weren't you the one who put that?"

"No Professor Agatha why would I put a stag right at the start of the exam"

"If isn't you then who did?"

Then they all look towards the only culprit they had in mind.

"Professor Adolfo" Timothy spoke trying to see if he truly was the one who did it.

Feeling his colleagues' stares the professor finally reacted.

"Hmmm? Me? Ah that, yeah why?"

"He looks unbothered for what he did" they all thought.

"Sigh, never mind I just hope that is the last thing you put in there"

"Well actually..."

"Wait what else did you do?"

Timothy felt worried since it was his exam anything that happened there is his responsibility.

"Will it hurt the students?"

Professor Gelda said feeling worried towards her students.

"Well just a couple of stuff no worries they can handle it"

After hearing those words the four professors all look at the headmaster as if asking him to do something.

"It's okay I allowed him to do that"

With those words, the remaining professors can't help but pray for their students.
