Of course, it was not easy to express dissatisfaction with the professor even if it was not Lee Hanwol.

Each semester, each student was assigned a ‘final result’ because professors had the authority to assign or reduce the score at their discretion. A student was expelled if he or she lost more than a certain number of points. One would have to bow his head in shame if he was expelled from Stella. Even if one was the son of a prominent family, there would be no point to complain.

‘Eisel used these points to drive Hong Bi-Yeon into the abyss…….’

After taking a look at the students once, Lee Hanwol opened his mouth quickly.

“Then, I’ll give you a short explanation of the training from now on.”

In fact, Edna was familiar with the details of training.

Various anomalies, traps, and demons that occurred in actual dungeons were materialised to reveal the challanges to students.

4 points for killing a Lvl 1 demon.

8 points for killing a Lvl 2 demon.

And, if one acquire a ‘Point Stick’, he get 20 points.

“Students securing the first to fifth places with the most points will be awarded small rewards, and points will be deducted from students who scored zero points or those who failed.”

A small reward.

The students’ eyes glowed. Stella academy used to reward students all the time, and most of them were pretty good magic equipment.

“If you are afraid of dropping out or you are not confident about working alone, you can form a team. However, make sure you are aware of the fact that points will be divided when you form a team.”

As soon as those words were finished, the appearances of the instructors, including Lee Hanwol, became blurred. It was not just that.

Grrr!

“Uh, huh?”

“What? What’s going on?”

The floor started to rise.

Edna understood this phenomenon right away.

‘Jack and the Beanstalk.’

{TN:- An english fairytale, in which a poor country boy trades the family cow for a handful of magic beans, which grow into a massive, towering beanstalk reaching up to the clouds.}

The dungeon looked similar to a giant bean tree.

The floor, which rose high enough to reach the clouds, took the form of a bean tree, and verdant branches and leaves spread everywhere.

However, swamps and rivers, soil floors and rocks, etc., all remained in the topography, making it look like ordinary land at first glance.

Beanstalk Field was not an open terrain, but instead had a wide topography at the top and bottom, making it a little more advantageous for students who learned Shooting Magic with a long range compared to those with Wide Range magic.

But, such a nuisance was meaningless. One could not always get advantageous terrain, so one had to overcome those disadvantages himself.

When the bean tree finally stopped growing, Lee Hanwol’s voice echoed in the air.

“For your information, if you defeat another student, you get all the points in his possession. Now, let me wish you all good luck.”

It was better to form a team for that dungeon training for many reasons. It would be pretty unlucky if you go alone and run into students who have teamed up.

So most of the students would team up with nearby students right away.

Edna was a priest-type mage, which made it difficult for her to go alone, but since the magic skills she possessed were so diverse, this dungeon training was not a major issue.

Edna did not encounter any demons along the way.

Since the demons were originally implemented as an illusion magic, their intelligence was far lower than the actual level, so they could only perform certain actions.

Flying demons could be shot down with light spheres, and demons on the land could be easily defeated with natural magic.

Since Edna was good at trap and destruction, defence and healing, this training session was not too difficult for her.

Ever since middle school, she had been trained to listen to the actual tour guide.

“Whoa, I’m so tired.”

After about an hour, her score was 18 points thanks to the fact that she had killed quite a few small and medium-sized demons.

This level of score, however, could be achieved with just one Point Stick. It was too dangerous to go around looking for it, but if you happen to find one by accident, take it quickly.

“Whoa, whoa!”

A scream came from afar. It was a common occurrence.

No matter how elite Class A was in the school, it was often impossible to respond to unexpected pitfalls because it was their first time in a real battle.

The ground would suddenly cave in, wooden whips would come flying at you. Lightning might strike, and arrows would come dancing from all directions, etc…

They were outdated and old-fashioned traps, tailored to the freshman level.

Most of the traps posed a little threat to Edna. She had quite a bit of wit to accompany her, so it was enough for her to spread the veil of light from time to time.

‘Well?’

She felt something through her senses, and walked in that direction slowly. At first, she thought it was a demon, but it turned out to be a human being.

‘A student can hide his presence at this level?’

It was quite a strange thing, but she was also hiding a miracle. Thanks to her nature’s beloved trait [Nature's Child], in these forests, her movement was agile and it was easy to hide her presence.

So, if the opponent was alone, it would be easy to surprise and steal points from him.

As Edna slowly approached through the verdant branches, someone’s silhouette was revealed.

A boy with black hair and black eyes.

‘… Baek Yu-Seol? Why is he here?’

He put one hand in his pocket and tapped on his shoulder with the other. The stick in his hand, on the other hand, was familiar.

‘Point Stick? He already got it?’

The ’20’ number clearly floated above his head, slightly exceeding Edna's score, on which she had worked hard for an hour.

He was still walking leisurely, looking for something, as if he had not noticed her.

‘It’s all right. I need to test him.'

'What the hell is he? What kind of magic skill does he use? I have to get even a simple clue.'

'In addition to that, if I can take away the Point Stick, it would be hitting two birds with one stone.'

‘Activate.’

A yellow-colored magic circle glowed at the end of Edna’s staff. It was a light-type magic skill used by the angels of heaven.

She used magic skill very aggressively.

‘Light Bullet!’

A Class 2 Light Bullet was fired. The distance was approximately fifteen meters. It was a distance where he would not be able to use a defensive technique, meaning he would take a lot of heavy damage and get eliminated.

Meanwhile.

“…!”

Baek Yu-Seol abruptly turned his head to meet Edna’s gaze as soon as the magic was cast.

“Huh, Huh…?”

'How?'

Before she could finish her sentence, his figure vanished like a mirage.

The Light Bullet crashed into a pitiful tree and disappeared, while Edna sank to the floor with a ghostly look on her face.

Not even a trace remained of Baek Yu-Seol’s presence.
