I created my own system

Chapter 137 Beasty

Continuation of Apollo's POV

We all remained silent and slowly walked across the terrain. We don't know what kind of beast we need to identify but it's better to be careful, after all the rainforest has its own set of dangerous predators.

"Hey by any chance have you seen any signs of....!?..."

I looked around me only to realize I was the only one standing in that area.

"When did I get separated" I questioned since I didn't feel anything as I walked.

[Creator the exam is already starting]

Jeremiah begins to say however my mind was looking for my friends.

[Please think carefully about the thing you need to do here]

"What?"

With those cryptic words, I suddenly felt a sudden chill.

"Right magical beast"

I said as I looked around the leaves and trees that surrounded me.

"Everything here is real...so why.."

I said while scanning the area.

"Why am I surrounded with illusions?"

.....

"Hey! Everyone where did you all go!"

Braiden shouted while finding himself separated.

"Hoo...calm down it's okay!....hoo...."

His heart began to beat fast while past traumas began to hit him. The leaves the trees and the fact he is all alone made it even worse for him.

"They are already gone...they won't get you again...you are no longer there" he repeatedly said while gasping his head.

"No more chains you already broke it...hoo... They won't chain you again....hoo"

He continued to say until a sound reached his ears.

He stopped mumbling and all his senses began to pinpoint the location of the sound.

All of a sudden he remembered their professor's words.

"Be careful"

It didn't mean to stop them from making a mistake but instead...

"GRRR"

A chill ran down his spine as he realized something.

"It's right behind me"

...

"Did I just get separated?"

Alya felt confused because ever since that incident she never got lost and would always find the right path that she needs.

"It's impossible for me to get lost, so it only means someone purposely separated us"

She concluded while calmly analyzing the situation.

"Being in this place reminds me of when the Monastery captured us"

She can't help but say while staying low on the ground.

"I hope you guys are feeling better Braiden, Vesta and you Aaron"

.....

"Where is everybody?"

Niko felt confused then he looked at his side and felt an empty spot.

"Princess?"

He suddenly felt horrified seeing his hand no longer hold hers.

"When did I let go!"

....

"So everyone is gone"

Keith realized while looking at his hand.

"I was holding her just now"

He can't help but clench his teeth, he made a promise to her brother that no matter what happens he must always hold her.

"Don't worry I'll find her, you sacrifice your life for me so I will do my best to find her"

He closed his eyes and began to feel the area.

"Illusion" he opens his eyes and looks at the shadow right behind him.

"A magical beast that creates an illusion to attack... let's see"

...

"Oh dear did I walk too far?"

Blair thought while walking among the tall trees and wild plants.

"Wait, something is wrong"

He stopped for a moment and gently touched the trunk of the tree.

"It's not real" he immediately realized, it seems their stay inside the illusion reality magic made them highly sensitive to it, so now they can't immediately distinguish the two.

"A beast which uses illusions"

Then to his surprise, a shadowy figure began walking towards him.

"Now let's see what you are"

He said trying to identify the beast who remained close in the bushes.

...

Back to Apollo's POV.

He decided not to use any magic to scan the area and just rely on his knowledge base from their lessons.

"Using magic would ruin the point of this exam"

I thought so then I started analyzing things.

"A beast which uses illusion...rainforest"

While I think a shadow appears behind me.

"GRRRRR"

A growl can be heard while heavy footsteps say he is big.

"A predator....heavy and have a huge build"

I thought while observing his steps.

"Hmm...I can't help but feel confused because predators in rain forests don't use illusion"

This is interesting I can't help but say in my mind.

....

"It's behind me"

Braiden nearly had a heart attack when he heard the loud growl of the beast.

"What is this.....could it be a..no..no I need to be careful"

With his mind being in shambles he can't help but panic but then he remembers something.

It's one of the lessons they have in Survival Lesson 1.

~Never let panic eat you, especially in a foreign environment that you have no knowledge of..it's hard to stay calm it's only natural to feel stress however never let it rule you, set your senses open and widely analyze the situation~

Professor Alejo said from their survival lesson 1 so with all his might he pushed down his demons and just remembered their lesson.

"Rain forest, growling beast and illusion, what kind of beast is that, it's definitely not a rain forest spider I am not in a cave, pythons are no no as well"

He began to think while the beast behind him began to approach.

.....

"A beast using illusion," she thought.

Then Alya felt the urge to walk so she did, this was the ability she gained after getting experimented.

A pathfinder is one who always sees the right way.

Behind the pile of green leaves, she sees a figure hiding meticulously.

"Ah... I think I know the answer to this"

She said while walking towards it. Explore stories at M V L

.....

Niko who felt horrified at the fact that he had lost Agnes began running frantically around the area until...something stopped him from moving.

"What the!"

He saw a shadow walking towards him each step was heavy and its eyes began to penetrate the boy.

~Each of you will have 100 hundred points before the exam starts. If by any chance you fail to identify the magical beast on the hologram that beast will charge and attack you~

He remembered their professor's words making him look at his chest and there resting was a rectangular plate having the number 100 on it.

"Right I am in the middle of an exam"

He finally snaps out of it and stares at the shadow.

"It's big....but black ah no it's just a shadow hologram....."

He stuttered a bit but began analyzing.

....

Keith on the other hand stared face to face at the shadow and smiled mischievously.

"I will give my answer now"

He said then a rectangular screen with a set of alphabets on it appeared right in front of him, which made the boy interested.

"An illusion nice"

Then he carefully typed his answer.

....

Like Keith Blair too was able to type his answer and as soon as he did the shadow in front of him dissolved.

"Oh"

He said as the black shadowy projection revealed a person. From a huge monster, it slowly transforms into someone he is familiar with.

"Mckenzie?"

He can't help but say seeing his friend appeared right in front of him.
