Chapter 2331 Survival

Chapter 2331 Survival

The group exam commenced at the grand Academy docks, where a massive gathering of selected acolytes from 120 different halls awaited their transport. The air buzzed with anticipation as the crowd stood before a fleet of Magus Alliance cruisers. Headmaster Goldstein, his presence commanding, stood at the forefront, addressing the acolytes with a speech brimming with hope and motivation.

His voice echoed through the docks, "Perseverance and strength, these are the traits that will guide you through this trial. And may each of you return safely, stronger than ever before!"

The headmaster's words hung in the air as the halls began boarding their assigned cruisers, a mixture of excitement and nervousness rippling through the crowd. The lower and mid-halls quickly filled half of the ships, embarking on their own survival exams on distant planets. The remaining six cruisers were assigned to the higher and top halls, destined for more dangerous tests.

Hardy stood at the head of his group, leading the 12 acolytes of Hall 33: Ha Ron, King Rig, Blaine, Bellana, Ullong, Titus, Armenius, and four others. They marched confidently toward the cruiser named Starfire, carrying them to their exam location, along with acolytes from nine other high-ranking halls.

Meanwhile, Shinta, leading the 20 half-bloods from Hall 9, strode toward their vessel, the Enigma. Alongside them were acolytes from two of the academy's prestigious top halls. As the last acolytes boarded their ships, the cruisers powered up, their engines roaring to life. Within moments, all a dozen cruisers lifted into the air, departing in perfect formation and ascending toward the dark expanse of space.

The Starfire and Enigma flew side by side toward one designated planet.

[Veloria Prime]

[Class C Planet - Savage Level 5]

Veloria Prime was unlike any other savage planet used for academy exams. Though it was classified as a Class C planet, considered unsuitable for colonization or development, it possessed all the vital conditions for life—fresh water, breathable air, and abundant resources. Yet these advantages were counterbalanced by its treacherous environment. Nine out of the planet's twelve-month cycle were consumed by violent storms and extreme weather that rendered much of its surface hostile to life.

"I assure you, even if they're lucky enough to survive the mission, they won't have the guts to go against us anymore."

"Good, good. My lady will be pleased."

Author Notes.

This chapter concludes the month of September, and once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. I hope you have enjoyed the reading experience, and if there is anything that still feels lacking, I will do my utmost to improve next month.

SPOILER ALERT!

The group exam will not be a long arc, but it will be a necessary one to reveal all the hidden figures behind the academy. I also plan to wrap up the entire three-year academy storyline in the coming month, so expect another one-year time skip before entering the imminent duel with Kronos.

Special Announcement!

This month marks the fourth anniversary of Earth's Greatest Magus. YEY!!

Unfortunately, I am not in a situation to offer discounts, but I plan to do multiple mass-released chapters in the coming week. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you'll join me again for next month's privileged chapters.
