Celestial Bloodline
chapter-24

After hunting goblins for a few more hours, both Nine and Kyle were tired that's why they decided to rest.

Kyle took out a clean pair of clothes from the storage ring before throwing away the clothes he was wearing, because they were damp with green goblin blood.

After changing his clothes, he took out a big piece of cloth from the storage ring and started setting it up in a corner. The piece was big enough to hold at most 2-3 people.

As Kyle was done setting up the sleeping place, he looked at it and nodded with satisfaction. Afterward, he took out some packaged food from his storage ring to eat.

All this was possible because, before the Ranking assessment, Kyle went to the back mountain to search for the Red snow flower. That's why he already had some food and other things stored inside the storage ring, which was enough for him to last a week inside the Goblin Cave without any worry.

On the other hand, Nine who was sitting not so far from Kyle looked at him dumbfounded while complaining inwardly,

'What the hell, why does it look like he is here for a picnic? And when did he have the time to prepare all this?'

Finding food and water was one of the biggest difficulties of this test. However, here Kyle was eating packed food without any care.

When Kyle saw Nine staring at him with a strange expression, he was embarrassed because he forgot to share. After realizing this, Kyle called Nine to eat and sleep together. As Nine ate the food offered by Kyle he almost felt sorry for the other students that must have been starving right now.

Unlike Kyle and Nine who slept peacefully, the other students who entered the middle tunnel were not having an easy time at all.

They have been trying to find a water source immediately after they enter the tunnel. But considering they were inside a cave it was almost impossible for them to find any water source.

"I can't go on, I need a clean place to sleep."

"We have no food and water, and the only thing we are seeing is these creepy-looking goblins."

"I am tired of fighting all day."

A few students indeed had something to eat on them, but because the number of students was too high, they didn't dare to bring it out from their storage rings.

In the end, they all give up on finding food and started walking in the middle of the dark tunnel in search of a suitable place to sleep.

But the further they advanced the more the Goblins appeared, making it almost impossible for them to rest.

Among the students, the one who was having the most difficulty was Carcel. Because he was a Prince, for the first time in his life he had to cope with such a dirty environment. But still, he didn't show his discomfort to not become a burden to his teammates. Also, he knew sooner or later he would have to cope with similar situations.

.....

Meanwhile, outside the dungeon at the training ground,

There were multiple big projections lit up in the sky, showing the performance of many students inside the dungeon.

Including Professor Liam and Professor Aliza, more than seven Professors were gathered at the center of the training ground, looking at how the students were performing inside the dungeon.

Among the students, the most noticeable ones were obviously Alec, and Carcel because they were showing great potential to survive in a harsh environment and perfect teamwork.

There were also other students who caught the professor's attention, like Nine or Kyle. Because both of them were enjoying the Goblin Cave, instead of struggling.

Some professors looked at them and joked, about how lucky they were to coincidentally store water and food before the Ranking assessment.

On the other hand, Professor Aliza who had been keeping an eye on Kyle from the start of the Ranking assessment frowned because even though Kyle was showing good enough performance. Still, compared to someone like Alec, he wouldn't even be considered average.

'Kyle is not skilled with a sword nor does he have any decent magic attacks, except for fireball. In the real battle, one needs skills and experience, which I can see he lacks completely.'

She shook her head with disappointment.

Aliza knew Kyle's talent was only (B)-Rank, still she thought if he could advance to (+F)-Rank in just a week, maybe he was trying to compensate for his lack of talent through hard work. But after seeing his useless way of using a sword and attacking without any specific plan or pattern, she was sure he wouldn't be able to achieve anything in the future.

As she thought about all this, she sighed.

It seems after seeing talents like Alec and Carcel she was starting to compare everyone with them, forgetting not everyone was born with such over-the-top talent. In the end, it's only been a week since Kyle joined the Academy and he can work on what he lacks in the future.

Afterward, she stopped looking at the projection showing Kyle and turned to look at other student's performance.
