Blood Assimilation

The following week.

It was now Monday, and also, the day that the students of the 12th grade class of the Sky Rise Academy would be taking one step towards achieving their goals in life. 

And it all starts with participating in the special training session held each year for the seniors that are graduating and also partaking in the university entrance examination.

For that to happen, they needed to take a trip to the Eastern District's military base in the Beast Forest. 

The purpose of this trip was to rigorously train the students in close combat and also make them utilize their abilities for different situations that may arise during their trip to the Eastern District military base and or after reaching their destination. 

And to do that, they would have to fight against mutated beasts and other creatures that lurk in the Beast Forest that spans a few dozen kilometers, which houses terrifying monsters and beasts the more one ventured deeper into it. 

However, to fulfill the purpose of the special training, the students would only be allowed to hunt at the periphery of the forest which had low-ranking creatures of various kinds and sizes. 

The ultimate goal of all these was to allow students to get experience and at the same time be prepared for the upcoming university entrance examination's practical session which involves fighting against beasts in a certain part of the Beast Forest. 

This was one of the reasons why this special training was important. Since if one did well during this special training then they are bound to also do well in the actual examination.

Not to mention, they are not simply hunting the beasts and monsters for no reason besides the experience.

They could also amass ample amount of merits in the military, thus earning themselves military points that could be used to exchange for other things that could aid in their ability improvement or simply their combat prowess. 

Those who were aware of this and confident were excited and as for those who were not confident in their combat abilities or simply that they were sheltered enough that they were scared of fighting fierce and wild creatures that will only aim to take their life if they were to fail to take theirs. 

Randy woke up early as usual and after eating his breakfast quickly, he announced to his mother.

"Mom, I'm heading out." 

"Okay. Be careful out there. Do not attempt anything dangerous. If you meet a monster or beast that you are certain of losing against, quickly run away without looking back. Your life matters more than accumulating merits to exchange for military points. Do you understand?" Riley sternly warned.

"Alright, mom. I will keep that in mind." Randy replied. 

Afterward, he opened the door to the mansion walking out, and then after checking to see that he has everything with him, he hurriedly left through the mansion's gate shortly after.

"…"

'I hope nothing bad happens; I have been having a bad feeling about today for some reason, but I can't just make him stay home and miss his chance because of this reason…'

Riley silently thought as she watched her son's figure disappear from the window of the mansion with concern look on her face.

…

Sky Rise Academy.

At this point, Randy had just arrived at the Sky Rise Academy's main gate.

Currently, there was a military vehicles waiting for the students going on the trip to the Eastern District's military base in the Beast Forest. 

When he arrived a lot of his classmates were already there lined up as they made their way into the reinforced bus in front of them. 

But before that, they had to be checked for bringing the necessary equipment that would be needed for the exercise by their instructors who would check their bags and storage items.

Seeing everyone lined up, Randy also went to the back line to line up just like everyone else. 

At this moment, he was carrying a big bag on his back which contains various equipment like a portable tent that can expand after activation, water bottles, cooking utensils, sleeping kit, military knives that he bought from some antique store that sells used items, he even bought some other weapons with his money since they were so cheap, and he also bought many other miscellaneous kinds of stuff. 

Although his mother gave him money to spend on the items needed for the special training session, he did not spend them on weapons.

Instead, he used them to buy some low-grade and mid-grade potions that were the most necessary products for survival in the wild, where one's life would be in danger just because they were injured or run out of energy. 

However, most of the potions that he bought were for the recovery of one's energy since he could use his assimilated state of the werewolf form to heal minor injuries incurred by him.

Superior Regeneration Skill!

This was the ability that he relied on most of the time to heal his wounds.

Even when he faced the sunglasses man and his men, after being attacked by one of them, he managed to recover quickly by quickly activating the Superior Regeneration Skill. 

Randy had not tested the limit of this self-healing ability mainly because he had not suffered a life-threatening injury before. 

Well, if he counted the day that he awakened, then he could say that perhaps this Superior Regeneration Skill was quite extraordinary.

Because he recalled that back then he had fractured and broken bones coupled with his skin injuries at the time, but when he woke up, all his injuries had been healed without a scratch. 

And the reason why he knew this was because of the voice that echoed in his mind at the time, that informed him of what was happening.

Then again, he thought he was having an auditory hallucination at the time but now that he thought of it again, just what was that voice? Where did it come from? Who does it belong to?

He was well aware that people claimed to have heard some voices before they had awakened their abilities.

Even Jiang Chen, who was a fanatic about abilities claimed this to be true, so he was very curious about the identity of that mysterious voice. Since with its help, he was able to awaken and recover successfully.

As he thought of these while the line kept moving forward with people entering the bus one after another, very soon, it was now the last person before him.

"Lin Feng, show me what's inside your bag and storage item." 

"Here you go, teacher Liu. I have secured every necessary item needed for the special training this time. So don't get too surprised afterward"

The student named Lin Feng reached out with his bag, placing it on a table opened, and then afterward, emptied his storage bracelet with a smug look. 

"Hmm… Sword, Blade, Knives, Bow and Arrows, Spear, Healing Potions… Hm?" 

After a while of searching through the student's bag and items, Instructor Liu suddenly frowned and then turned up to look at Student Lin Feng.

"Teacher, are you that surprised? I told you that I have secured everything, unlike some people.." Lin Feng said, still with a smug expression as he straightened his chin.
