Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Chapter 7.1 - Dungeon Practice

In a way, the way the Arcadia Hunter Academy operated was pretty similar to a college rather than a high school.

There would be courses that students would take according to their majors, but the time of the classes was slightly random; not all the classes were at the same hour.

But that was after the second semester, since the first semester, everyone would get the basic courses for every type of hunter-related job.

You can think of this as Calculus or Physics for engineers. No matter what type of engineering major you are in, be it Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer, you will always take the course Calculus in your first year.

The same goes for courses like 'Introduction to Dungeon Ecology,' 'Basic Combat Techniques' and many others.

Just as the first lesson of the day reached its end, Eleanor White finished her 'Basic Combat Techniques' lesson.

Normally the next lesson was going to be empty today we don't have any other classes until the afternoon. However, this time it was different, since today we will be starting the real Academy life.

"Please don't leave the class."

Suddenly signaling the students who were about to leave, Eleanor tapped on her desk, gathering everyone's attention.

"As you all know, we have finished our first month in our curriculum. Therefore, from this week and onwards, you will be actively participating in the practical dungeon explorations randomly." Instructor White announced, capturing the attention of all the students.

The room buzzed with excitement, and some students exchanged excited glances with their friends. Practical dungeon explorations were the highlight of their training, a chance to put their knowledge and skills to the test in real-life scenarios.

In a way, that one month of waiting made sense since the students entering the Academy would mostly be newbies that had never seen any type of dungeon before. Thus, they needed to be educated and informed before endangering themselves.

Looking at their happy faces, I couldn't help but shake my head.

'I wonder what face you will make when you see the monsters inside the dungeon.' I thought. It was understandable that those who strived to be the main character of their story would always dream happily, but when reality hits, it hits hard.

And this practical dungeon exploration will be the first lesson that the Academy will teach those little kids about the cruelty of the real world.

"In these explorations, you will be divided into teams according to your ranks. You will venture into various dungeons, each with its unique challenges and monsters. The goal is to assess your adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities under real combat situations."

She paused, allowing the significance of the upcoming experiences to sink in before continuing, "Remember, dungeons can be dangerous, and safety is of the utmost importance. Always follow your team leader's instructions and cooperate with your teammates. Failure to do so may result in severe consequences."

The students nodded, but at the same time, I could see the relaxed expression on their faces. They all thought it would be easy.

After she said that, she signaled the board behind her. "The dungeon you will be exploring is Academy's artificial dungeon. Thus, you won't be subjected to fatal wounds. But that doesn't mean you won't feel any pain."

She signaled footage where a cadet was blasted off by a monster as his chest was bleeding.

"Just like there, if it is determined that you got a fatal wound, your session will be finished by the examinator. Are we clear?"

"""Yes.""" A hearty sound of students filled the room, and seeing this, Eleanor had a smile on her face.

"Now, the message should have already arrived on your bracelets," Instructor White said, her voice commanding attention. "This message contains all the necessary information for your first dungeon exploration, including your team assignment, the monster you will be hunting, and the specific objectives you need to accomplish."

She paused as the students checked their bracelets, each receiving a notification. I glanced at mine and saw the message containing the details for our team's exploration.

"Once you have reviewed the message, gather your team members and make your way to the entrance of the artificial dungeon," Instructor White continued. "Your team leader will be responsible for guiding your group throughout the exploration. Listen to their instructions and work together cohesively."

"The dungeon will be monitored by examinators, and they will intervene if they see any potential risks to your safety. However, I must stress that your performance will be evaluated based on your ability to handle situations on your own, so rely on your teamwork and skills."

"Now, form your teams and head to the entrance of the artificial dungeon. Your adventure awaits, and I expect nothing less than your best effort."

As the students began organizing into their respective teams, I saw the main cast gathering together – Ethan, Victor, Julia, Lucas, Irina, and Lilia. They seemed eager and confident, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

Well, that was to be expected, since, different from normal students, almost all of them had already entered dungeons frequently. Even Ethan did enter a dungeon—a late awakener.

And from the game, I knew which person would be

I turned to my own bracelet and opened the message, revealing the details of my team's exploration.
