Shadows Reveal Hidden Light — Wayne Sanders novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 One Night in the Villa

After that, Nighthowl carried her and teleported six miles away, then they walked into the dungeon exit vortex.

She was out.

Outside the dungeon, there were now quite a few young faces gathered around.

“She’s out! She’s really out!”

“Holy crap, that was insanely fast! But why is it only Joanna? Where are the others? Did they die in there?”

“I checked my friends list. They’re still in the dungeon. Not dead.”

“They’re collecting supplies. That’s a sweet deal. Even if there’s only 400,000 or 500,000 worth of supplies in the dungeon, if each person grabs 50,000, it’s basically like they only paid for the entry ticket to run the train station dungeon.”

“Those guys are idiots. If it were me, I’d skip the loot and stay on Joanna’s train. Looks like she’s pulling an all-nighter. Ten runs in one night means hitting at least Level 11. Level 11! Higher levels get bonus points on the SAT.”

“Shh, Joanna just opened recruitment.”

Joanna put up her advertisement again. Instantly, the application list was full.

Joanna selected the first nine applicants, explained the requirements, and entered the dungeon again.

After this run, five people actually skipped looting and said they wanted to keep farming with her.

Joanna happily agreed.

Grace and the others also came out of the dungeon, hoping to book the next run.

So Joanna took them along again.

Time flew by until 4 a.m.

Inside Trinity High, teams appeared on the plaza from time to time. These were all squads. returning from their dungeon exams.

At that moment, five people appeared on the plaza.

None of them looked happy.

On their final and most important exam, they had only scored 100 points.

“It’s okay, Lucas. Our scores from previous exams were always high, and our team has plenty of dungeon records. One slip-up won’t matter. At worst, with our abilities, we can still get into Violetlight University.”

But was Violetlight University the problem?

Their original scores were good enough for Prismbridge University in the city.

“That’s right. Besides, we got delayed, but other teams probably did too. The dungeon difficulty was the same for everyone. Maybe the others didn’t do well either. Let’s check the overall rankings.”

Rhoda looked up at the team rankings.

Then her eyes went wide with shock.

Rank 1: Shattered Dawn. Members: Joanna. Score: 220.

More than double her team’s score.

This…

Rhoda began questioning her entire existence.

Before Joanna left, Dawnbreaker had been the undisputed number one.

After Joanna left, Dawnbreaker was now … 34th in the entire grade.

Who was the weak link? Wasn’t it obvious?

What she found even harder to accept was this.

She had left Roseflare, and that team had actually climbed six spots in this exam. They were currently ranked 5th.

Today had been way too much.

She had joined the top team, and now that top team had dropped to 34th.

She had just moved in one day ago, slept here one night.

And now she had to move out of the villa.

The most unbearable part of all was that her former team, Roseflare, had moved into the big villa.

Why?

God, why is this happening?

At that moment, Lucas and the others couldn’t believe it either.

“Ms. Howard, are you saying we have to move out of this villa? We didn’t perform our best this time, but it was an exploration dungeon. We just had a bit of bad luck. The SAT definitely won’t be like this.”
