Grim came across a group of orcs a bit further.
He wasn't able to deal with them with brute force like last time. So, he decide to use 'storm' this time.
Orcs would be either stunned or slowed for a few seconds after getting hit by the 'storm'.
Then, Grim would use the opportunity to pummel them down with their weapon. This time, he was toying with them.
[Congratulations to the host for killing an orc]
"You have obtained 400 Evo."
He got the notifications three more times.
Grim harvested fangs from their corpse and sold the rest to the system.
"I have earned 2400 from hunt and corpse sales."
Now, he was in a dilemma on whether he should venture further deep or just hunt here.
Venturing further would provide him with more Evo, but the risk would also increase.
Staying here and hunting would be much safer, but the Evo earned would be lower.
"As long as I'm alive, I can always earn more." Grim played safe and stayed there to hunt.
During the hunt, he was able to come across 'goblins'. Another monster from the fantasy.
They looked like smaller versions of orcs with longer noses and even uglier looks. They were equipped with knives, swords, and wooden shields.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
They were weaker than orcs. So, Grim made quick work of them.
Grim dealt with their corpse and took one of the swords.
"Brute force isn't the solution for everything." He had learned from his experience with the orcs.
"I should learn some weapon skills soon."
Grim went back to the hunt again. His hunt continued for 13 days in total.
He had managed to accumulate 10000 Evo.
"I still have 3 days until the deadline of the mission. I should start my trip back."
Grim began his return.
He was able to reach the academy within 2 days.
He went to the mission hall. But, there was a noisy atmosphere in the hall. Everyone was murmuring something.
Grim was curious about their conversation. But, he decided to complete his mission first. So, he gave the orc fangs and mission scroll to Xue Ah.
"Alright. That confirms the completion of your mission. I'll transfer the points now."
Grim handed her the token.
"Your 20 points have been transferred. Here you go." Xue Ah returned the token.
"Senior Xue, do you know what everyone is talking about?"
"You don't know?" Xue Ah exclaimed
"I was away on a mission."
"Oh, right." Xue Ah was embarrassed.
"Instructor recently announced that there will be a friendly competition among the academies from Aran city."
"It's just a friendly competition. Why is everyone making a fuss over it?" He was confused
"Oh, it's because of the prize. You can see the announcement on the mission board."
Grim went to the mission board and saw the details.
[Friendly competition between Meadow, Oak, and Faith Academy]
Venue: Faith Academy
The competition will take place in a month
The champion will receive 5 years' worth of liquid Qi, 3 major-level skill scrolls, and an early evolution-grade treasure of their choice.
Second place will receive 5 years' worth of liquid Qi, and 2 major-level skill scrolls.
Third place will receive 5 years' worth of liquid Qi and a major-level skill scroll.
And anyone within the tenth place will receive 5 years' worth of liquid Qi.
[Anyone can participate but only the top 50 will be selected for the competition]
"5 years' worth of liquid Qi." Just what I need right now.
"Let's just aim for the top ten now given my strength."
Grim went out of the mission hall
He was starving. So, he went to the cafeteria.
Once he was done, he made a swift return to the room.
