BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 Battle Royale
Chapter 52 Battle Royale
Level: 25
Race: Human
Quality: Basic (High)
He had reached the \'Good\' quality before he summoned Anubis. But because he sacrificed a lot of his Ena, he ended up going back to the basic quality. When he last absorbed the core, he reached that quality at level 30, which symbolized the reason Fenrir transformed at that level.
This was his concern when he knew about the soul contract. But after he summoned Anubis, his worry shifted to his ability instead.
"I have about 340 Ena. I can use Deadly Claw about fifty times, but the problem will be the bullets. Each bullet takes 5 Ena, so I can only have 68 bullets. In a battle, I would probably need more bullets than I expect and to combine it with the Deadly Claw, I might exhaust all my Ena."
Fenrir asked, "Leave it to me. I can handle all those opponents. Even if your classmates come at us, I\'ll make sure to defeat them."
"Don\'t worry. I have my healing ability as well. If you are injured, it\'s fine to rely on me." Anubis nodded in agreement.
"There is one problem though." Nathan raised his finger. "Since this is a battle royale, there is a high chance that people will team up with each other to take down a stronger opponent. Depending on the objective this time, we will need a different plan."
"Is that why you didn\'t ask Selena earlier? With your current relationship, she would probably agree if you propose to team up."
"Indeed, but what if the objective doesn\'t allow us to team up? It\'ll just make the plans we have come up with go down the drain. Hence, I choose to wait until we know the context of the battle royale." Nathan explained.
"Do you need my ability? I can lend it to you for just 10 Ena per day." Fenrir smirked.
"I can lend you mine for 9 Ena per day." Anubis harrumphed.
"I can do it for 8." Fenrir glared at Anubis. "Are you picking a fight with me right now, you lowly dog?"
"You are a dog." Anubis snorted. "I don\'t mind beating you up today. Don\'t worry. I will heal you after I\'m satisfied."
Nathan wanted to stop them, but he suddenly heard a knock.
*Knock!*
"Hmm?" Nathan frowned.
"It\'s that elf girl." Fenrir sniffed a familiar scent coming from the person outside the room.
Knowing it was Alisha, Nathan immediately opened the door. "Alisha."
Alisha waved her hand while smiling. "Good evening, young master. I hope I don\'t bother you."
"Of course not. Please come in." Nathan opened the door wider, but Alisha shook her head.
"I can\'t enter right now, since my purpose here is to tell you about one thing. It\'ll be unfair to others if I accidentally give you information about the battle royale tomorrow. The young master really loves to play with tricks after all."
"Ah…" Nathan scratched the back of his head. It seemed that his success haunted him back. "Alright. What do you like me to know?"
"Regarding tomorrow\'s battle royale, the Mistress will be watching you. Well, a lot of people are interested in you, so if she is not there, you\'ll probably be kidnapped by someone."
Nathan\'s eyebrows twitched. "That sounds annoying. Are they here to check me or…"
"Ahaha." Alisha let out a hollow laugh. Alisha immediately took a step back as soon as Nathan realized the true reason for their visit. There was no way those people would be interested in him if he didn\'t summon only beasts.
But if she said something, Nathan would probably catch the hidden meaning behind her words without her realizing it. In addition, letting him overthink would put him at a disadvantage as well, so it was better not to say anything.
"In that case, can you tell me if there are outside forces coming to the academy? I\'m sure you can answer this little question, right?"
Alisha pondered for a moment before saying, "No… Not yet."
Nathan nodded. "Alright. I won\'t make it hard for you. Thank you for telling me, Alisha."
Alisha smiled wryly. It was a shame that she couldn\'t help him because Vivian had asked her to do so. "Please get a good rest for today, young master."
After closing the door, Nathan\'s expression turned solemn. The information had allowed him to make a decision. "You guys should stop fighting now. I have a plan."
Just like Nathan, other students were planning to get the best score. Jason already said the top scorers wouldn\'t be guaranteed to get the top ranks this time.
Hence, they had a chance to grasp it.
Selena lowered her head, thinking about something.
Risa, who was next to her, couldn\'t help but say, "Personally, I think that it\'s better to team up with him. I know that you don\'t want to be reliant on him, but if you don\'t get a good score, you might not be able to escape your fate."
Selena didn\'t say anything. She only extended her hand as if telling her to better suck her blood instead of giving that opinion.
"Selena." Risa crossed her arms, feeling pretty frustrated.
"I will consider it. If I\'m the one asking him for cooperation, I\'ll end up being too reliant on him, considering I have owed him quite a lot. I want to escape from my fate, but not at the expense of others." Selena shook her head.
"I have enough blood for tomorrow\'s battle royale. I don\'t need more tonight," said Risa as she disappeared.
Meanwhile, Rudeus glanced at several students next to him. "Tomorrow. We\'ll dominate the ranking. It\'s a battle royale, so that means everything is allowed. We\'ll defeat everyone and get all the top spots. No need to give it to the others.
Those students nodded their heads.
Rudeus, on the other hand, took a different approach. Instead of the straightforward tactic like the others, he preferred a little underhanded trick. If he couldn\'t even achieve this, he wouldn\'t be worthy of the second prince title.
"Have you prepared it?"
"Yes. Everything is finished, your highness. No one will be able to get the top spot other than you." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Good. I don\'t care who will be among the top, but I can only be the only one who is at the top." Rudeus nodded while looking at the dark sky.
