Chapter 66 Reward
Chapter 66 Reward
This was the first time he saw a dryad up close. She had a humanoid body even though a part of her body had to be connected to a tree part for her to manifest, in this case, her feet. She covered her body with vines and leaves, which gave a different type of allure. Dryad was known for their ability to manipulate one\'s mental state. And he certainly could feel it even without her ability, Nathan jokingly thought.
"Congratulations on winning 300 points. Is there anything you\'d like to exchange?" "Hmm?" Nathan raised his eyebrows. "Did it count as me killing her?"
"Yes. She tried to patch her injury with her Ena, but it was too much. If she broke her own rule and released more Ena, she could probably suppress the injury for a longer period, but because she kept her code, her body was unable to continue. It seemed she persisted that long because she wanted to fulfill her agreement with you.
"Although you didn\'t manage to bring the headbands to the finish line, you still managed to kill an \'alien.\' Hence, you are rewarded with three hundred points."
"But don\'t I need to go to the hut to exchange things?" Nathan frowned.
"What hut? I\'m the hut." The dryad shrugged before whispering, "Just treat it as me recognizing you as the mistress\' disciple. Everyone can receive some resources from their supporters, so can you. Here is the list."
The dryad waved her hand, summoning a mirror that showed a list of items.
He got 300 points from killing Noelle. It was equal to three people with the red headbands or thirty people with the white headbands. It could be said that he had gotten more points than anyone in the class except if they managed to defeat an upperclassman and reach the hut.
That was why, before picking up an item, he asked, "Can I know how the others are doing?"
"If you are talking about the girl, she makes it to the finish line."
"I mean. I want to know the entire situation, especially those top three people. Nathan shook his head helplessly.
The dryad snapped her fingers and showed a mirror that reflected the current situation. "Rudeus had passed through Regynar Lowee thanks to his team. As a result, he stopped anyone from reaching the hut so that he and eight other people could monopolize the
ranking.
"On the other hand, August came with another student, trying to break through. The situation looked bleak at the start, as August was outnumbered. In fact, one of his teammates turned out to be a traitor, who stabbed him in the stomach. If not for it, August would have put more pressure on Rudeus.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
"But when the battle was about to end, Selena came with the Dullahan, breaking through Rudeus\' group. It also gave them a chance to reach the hut.
"Rudeus was shocked by the sudden appearance of Dullahan and chose to reach the hut before the unknown variable messed up his plan even more.
"Meanwhile, the last person to have the red headband was actually defeated by the person who summoned a werewolf and took advantage of the chaos to submit the headbands. And it seemed that Raivan played a huge role in that strategy. He is your enemy, right? The mistress has asked me to keep an eye on him."
Nathan understood the situation. It was surprising that Noelle not only fulfilled her promise, but did something beyond his imagination.
She must have realized she might actually lose if Selena didn\'t interfere, so instead of Nathan working together with Selena, she asked the Dullahan to support her.
Meanwhile, no one seemed to have defeated an upperclassman.
"Due to the size of the garden, it\'s hard to encounter the upperclassmen. What we\'re doing here is a psychological attack that makes them hesitant. They need an understanding of their situation and possess the ability to quickly think of a solution. All of these are necessary if you venture to the front line."
"Indeed." Nathan nodded in understanding. He took another look at the list before frowning.
"Is there something wrong?" the dryad tilted her head in confusion. The list was already pretty generous. A proto-class core only cost 0.5 point after all.
"There is something I would like, but I don\'t know if I can ask you or not."
"I will hear it first."
Nathan came closer and whispered an item to her, which actually shocked her to the core. "Do you think it\'s possible?"
"I don\'t know. I will ask the person in question first. If not, you can trade it for something else."
"Alright. Thank you." Nathan smiled, satisfied.
"The battle royale should end in about ten to fifteen minutes. After that, I\'ll teleport everyone back. You can take a rest here for the time being."
"Got it!" Nathan waved his hand, watching the dryad disappear together with the root. "What a beautiful sister...an elf, a druid, a spirit, and a dryad. What else does Teacher
have?"
"Rather than that, there is one thing you need to do now, brat." Fenrir finally broke his silence.
"Huh? What? We are done here."
"You are the witness of the bet between me and this dog!" Fenrir pointed at Anubis. "I contributed more than him, so he will become a dog for the next seven days!" "What? You were lucky that he didn\'t use the soul contract. Or else I would contribute more!" Anubis gnashed his teeth.
"That was what a sore loser said. Just accept your defeat!" Fenrir harrumphed.
Before Anubis could speak another word, Nathan patted his back as if implying that he supported Fenrir\'s decision.
Anubis opened his mouth wide as if he had been betrayed.
"Ha-"Fenrir wanted to laugh, but Nathan\'s hand closed his mouth forcefully. With a
stern tone, Nathan said, "Since Anubis will be acting like a dog for the next seven days, it means that I\'ll be protecting him with all my might. If he ever receives an injury, you won\'t call me Nathan anymore. You are to call me Mr. Wick!"
