I Just want a Peaceful life

The class tournament has a different kind of theme each time. This time it has a theme as a survival contest. The tournament will take place at a nearby forest owned by the academy. There are two hours for all participant classes to eliminate others.

Once the two hours is up, the battle will stop and the most surviving people in one class are the winner. If there is the same number of people, the teachers will judge who is the winner.

Besides fighting with other classes they also need to fight monsters that scattered inside the forest. The monster that scattered inside the forest is varied but most of them are only ungraded and few 1st grade monsters.

For the 1st and 2nd year students that are still not forming their own mana core, it will be a difficult task just to kill one of them. But, if the student managed to kill the monster they will get 50 points for their class.

For safety reasons, the student will get barrier generated items that could hold attack from the 2nd grade monster. The barrier will get alarm if being attacked with the strength of a 1st grade monster twice. Then, the student will get disqualified and need to get out of the forest.

Hearing this tournament, Angus thought silently, 'Damn.. What a troublesome tournament?'

This kind of tournament is really a headache for Angus, because many unsuspected events could happen, especially fighting against monsters in the wild. If something really goes wrong, he needs to truly reveal his strength.

Because of this reason, now Angus visit the monster house, a place that contains monsters to be studied by students. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

The monster that will be sent into the tournament has the same species with the one in this monster house. This way students will motivate students to learn more about the monster.

Angus not only wants to learn more about these monsters but also to open his manual battle function with these monsters.

He plans to learn their fighting habits and patterns in the manual battle before entering the tournament. This way he could at least somewhat avoid any unpredictable situation during the tournament.

After learning about the monster closely, he goes to the smiting area. He needs to take some material for making weapons to protect himself in case of an emergency situation.

Fortunately, the academy provides iron ore in low quantities for each smiting student to increase their smiting mastery. Since Angus never uses his quota from the start of the term, he has quite enough iron ore to forge.

After taking his iron ore, he goes back to Spring Dorm. Spring Dorm has many facilities one of them is a smiting area which has never been used by its residents before since no other student inside it could do or interest in smiting.

Arriving at the abandoned smiting area, Angus starts the fire in the forge. Although Angus only acts as helper during his time in the smiting course, he still has some experience making his own weapon in his past life.

As a true martial artist, Angus needs to learn the art of making cold weapons to know how they actually work.

Since he has only limited resources, he plans only making throwing weapons that specialize at piercing. After hours of hammering and burning, he finally made five throwing daggers that are very slim and thin but have a shaper edge.

'Hmm… Not too bad. Still I am quite rusty to takes too much time just to produce these daggers' [Angus]

Because of that, he still needs to skip his side course in the entire afternoon. After that he returned to his room and ready himself to fight some monster.

Experimenting a few times inside the manual battle, Angus found that he could bring anything he touched to the battle arena.

The things he could bring to the battle arena also cannot be too big like bed or other big furniture. Apparently, the battle is happening inside his mind while his real body stays still after recording himself during the usage of manual battle.

Angus will also get the same wound if he gets injured during the manual battle. Using this as rule, he also speculates that there is a chance he could get killed if he dies during the manual battle.

Soon, the time for the class tournament is approaching. All the students inside the royal academy are in hype to fight against monsters. After getting some speech from the headmaster, the tournament officially begins from the 1st year. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

At this moment, the class 1-A is in their position outskirt the forest waiting for the signal. As always princess Jayna took leadership among the rest of the group. She keeps making some speech about beating the others and wins without really good planning.

'Well, what did you expect an eight years old kid to think of a plan.' Thought Angus while having a bored expression.

*BOOM* After a while, the signal for the tournament began. The group immediately goes inside the forest in search of the other team.

While this is happening, Angus wanders inside the forest aimlessly trying to separate himself with his groups. Looking around that no one is nearby, he closes his eyes and focuses his mind.

"HUMP!!" as Angus releases a thin layer of mana to the ground. [Mana Echolocation]

Soon, he got feedback and knew the approximate location of others. Then, he goes towards the nearest monster. Angus planned to get eliminated by fighting with a monster.

After five minutes of walking, he found a scaled monster that is two meter tall. It's called Mandile, a huge lizard that is very fast with a toxic claw. It is also famous for being aggressive.

Since Angus didn't hide his presence, it immediately found him and attacked. Angus pretends to look afraid at this encounter and stays still.

Suddenly, a barrier from his school emblem became active and protected him before the claw approached Angus. But, the mandile ignored it and kept clawing at him. Soon, it managed to activate the alarm in Angus's school emblem.

'Fiuhh… With this now I just need to go outside the forest.' As Angus thought inwardly.

Few moments later, A teacher came and frightened the mandile with his mana. Looking at Angus is fine without scratch and half – sleep eye, "Are you, Okay?" [Teacher]

"Yeah, fine. Now, I just need to go out of this forest, right?" replied him enthusiasm

"Y-yeah, I will bring you out…" [Teacher]

*BOOOMM* A loud explosion was heard from somewhere inside the forest. Then the teacher's communicator rang loudly, "CODE GREEN, all teachers need to go towards the North immediately."

"tch.. Just what is happening at this beginning tournament? Can you go toward base by yourself? I need to check the situation." [Teacher]

"Sure, no problem. I could walk by myself." Said Angus before the teacher went towards the explosion source.

'Just to be sure let's check what is going on.' As Angus uses [mana echolocation] once again.

"This is…" [Angus]
