Chapter 189 No! I'm not crazy
?The frightened man knelt on the ground and stammered: "Sorry, Principal, I... I'm just worried about that young man's identity."
Farmyrth paid no attention to the kneeling middle-aged man, she just frowned at the water curtain that had turned black and thought about something.
After a while, she continued: "Continue to monitor him, if he goes out, let me know immediately."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
"Principal, aren't you watching the others?" The remaining middle-aged man spoke up: "In this year's group of contestants, I see two other young men with great potential, I think..."
Before he could finish speaking, he became silent because of Farmyrth's scary gaze.
She glanced at him, frowned, and said: "I'm not interested..."
Having finished speaking, she disappeared. Seeing that, the two middle-aged men breathed a sigh of relief.
"How long do you plan to kneel there? She has left."
Hearing this, the kneeling man immediately sighed, stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said tiredly, "Do you think we should..."
"Okay, I see what you mean. I also think that it seems the principal has a special interest in Lathel."
"I thought that if that person was the man Amleth liked, maybe the principal would hate him. I never thought that the principal would be interested in him."
"So... what about those two young men?"
"You mean Alec and Harris?"
"That's right. Their potential is huge, what do we need to do?
"I do not know. Okay, if Lathel gets in, let's help him a little, but don't be too obvious. As for the other two, their talents are so good; surely someone will help them."
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and sighed as they mentally scolded Daton a thousand times.
They all knew Daton was dead, but the consequences he left behind made them and Moharo unable to laugh.
...
The time passed quickly.
The remaining time for the contestants to participate in the second round was two days.
In the morning, Harris and Alec walked together in an extremely large forest.
"What is your score now?" Alec asked warily.
Harris frowned but still kept a smile on his face: "Hahaha... only about 1,700 points; what about you?"
"Huh!" Alec snorted contemptuously: "2,200 points."
Harris shrugged: "I don't really care, anyway, I just need enough points to get to the third round."
"I also don't want to compete with you for the championship position. My purpose is only to kill Lathel and Amleth."
Alec glanced at Harris. Of course, he couldn't believe what Harris had just said.
"We have killed all the monsters in this place, including the low-level goblins; do you want to go somewhere else?" Harris smiled as he spoke.
"Somewhere else? Do you know the terrain here well?" Alec frowned and asked.
Harris shrugged and replied: "No, but I think we should look elsewhere. We haven't encountered any other monsters since last night."
"I think... we should find another place to..."
Hearing that, Harris did not continue asking.
They walked for about 100 metres before seeing the light. Harris and Alec looked at each other, then Alec extinguished the torch.
Both of them held their weapons firmly, and slowly moved towards the light.
"That is..."
"Is that the monster..."
Alec and Harris were startled when they saw the monster inside the cave.
The end of the cave was quite large, it was more than five metres high. On the ceiling were countless stalactites that emitted a faint light, which was enough to illuminate the entire place.
Below, on the ground, a monster resembling a giant monitor lizard lay on the floor. Its body was covered with countless red scales that resembled pieces of metal.
"Fire Drake!" Harris frowned and muttered.
Hearing that, Alec also felt a bit worried and asked: "Is there a fire-type Drake-type monster in this world?"
"Of course." Harris said in a low voice: "Drake is a type of monster that is very distantly related to dragons, however, it still retains part of the dragon's bloodline."
"There are not many types of this monster, most of them have brown scales, with only a very high defence ability and an extremely terrible bite force."
"However, among the Drake Dragons, there are also a few mutant individuals, possessing some kind of special power."
"If I guess correctly, the Drake lying in this cave... is one of the few mutated Drakes, possessing the power of fire."
Alec frowned and asked: "Why do you know these things?"
Harris looked at Alec in confusion: "It's just normal knowledge. Anyone born into a noble family must learn these basics."
Alec gritted his teeth, while silently cursing in his heart: 'Damn it! Damn nobles! One day I will trample all of you greedy nobles into the dirty mud.'
Harris saw Alec's hateful eyes and felt confused.
However, the matter of the Fire Drake at hand was more important, so he asked: "Alec, do you really want to fight it? Drakes inherently possess physical strength much stronger than humans of the same level."
"This Drake even possesses the fire element, combined with his strength, his fighting power will be extremely terrifying."
Alec frowned. He knew what Harris was talking about. The drake had outstanding physical strength, as the outer scales could block most weapons such as swords, arrows, etc.
It even knew how to use fire. Thus, the Fire Drake was an armoured tank in the fantasy world.
"Teacher, what is this monster's level?" Alec silently asked Medos.
"It seems to be 49 or 50. It is in the process of preparing to level up, and break the level 50 limit." Medos explained.
"You'd better not make it angry. This is an extremely important process for it. If anyone angers it now, I'm afraid... this entire forest will be engulfed in flames."
Hearing that, Alec came up with some strange ideas. He continued to ask: "If Harris and I work together, can we win it?"
"No! Your odds of winning are almost zero." Medos said bluntly: "It is originally a Fire Drake; it has the ability to resist fire. Although that ability is not great for an Essence Flame, your level and its level are too far apart."
"That is why it is difficult for your Black Rose Flame to harm it."
"Neither physical damage nor magical damage can penetrate its scales, so do you think you can defeat it?"
"Good! This is the answer I wanted." Alec replied, smiling.
"Hm?! What do you mean?" Medos asked confusedly, but Alec did not answer him.
Harris now worriedly said: "Alec, if there was another monster in this place, then we could win, but since it is a Fire Drake, we should run away before it detects us."
"Run?! Hahaha..." Alec suddenly laughed evilly: "We will run, but after we wake it up."
"Are you crazy?" Harris quickly stopped Alec.
"No! I'm not crazy." Alec turned his head to look at Harris with madness in his eyes: "We can maintain the top position if the other contestants... die."
