BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 Monitor Room
Dylan was just glad the demons weren\'t up to six hundred like he thought they would be and was just the normal hundred which Michael told them but that didn\'t mean he wasn\'t going to struggle against the few demons he was going to face.
They could use their abilities in here but someone like Luis wasn\'t going to use any because he was keeping it a secret.
As always Monica was the most skillful as she used her metal path to move between the demons while taking their heads out while slashing them into two.
Silvia was able to move through the demons with ease while dealing them fatal blows.
Ella with the help of her ability was able to win the demons in every department, speed, strength, and endurance.
Henry also appears to be doing well as he would constantly trap the demons with ice spikes before dealing with them with his double Katana blades.
Dylan appeared to be struggling but he wasn\'t in any trouble yet.
Luis appeared to be the only one in the group who hadn\'t made any move yet as he was trying to figure something out.
\'I haven\'t received any demons detected notification yet.\' Luis thought. \'That means these things really aren\'t real, I\'ve never seen anything like this before.\' Luis thought looking at the demons which didn\'t look fake at all.
At that moment Dylan was facing a demon with his spear unaware that another demon was about to pounce on him from behind and that was when he felt a gush of wind pass him at first he thought it was Silvia that was until he turned and saw Luis with his sword sticking out from the demon\'s back before the demon turned to dust and vanished.
"You are doing great Dylan," Luis said running off to the next demon.
\'Wasn\'t he just over there?\' Dylan thought looking at the spot where he had seen Luis a few seconds ago.
Although Luis wasn\'t using any ability his stats were a really good boost in this type of fight as the demons stood no chance against him.
The demons appeared slow in Luis\' eyes as he easily dealt with them.
[ 100 EXP Gained ]
\'I also get exp from this?\'
The system somehow still saw the demons Luis were killing as real demons but the only thing was that it saw them as way weaker than the real weak demons that\'s why Luis had to kill about two dozens of them before he could get a hundred exp.
The last demon was standing a little far away from the group and that was when Monica did something they didn\'t expect.
She used her metal ability to form a very sharp spear and taking a few steps back she came forward and threw it towards the demon.
The spear went on target, piercing the demon\'s head and vanishing along with it.
"Wow!" Was the reaction from Henry.
"Even I can\'t throw a spear like that," Dylan said.
"I think we\'re done here," Monica said.
[ Mission complete ]
[ Would you like to return? ]
[ Yes/No ]
Everyone clicked yes.
In the real world, their bodies began to move as they took the VR headsets away from their faces to see Michael sitting on the bench in the training hall.
He was waiting for them and smiled on seeing them get up.
"Nice start, I\'m surprised none of you died," Michael said.
"We can die in there?" Dylan said.
"No, if you get killed your consciousness will return to your body before the others."
"Oh."
The VR training was all they did for the day but Michael told them that they had four stages and this was just the first stage.
"You will take the second and third stage tomorrow and the last stage will be on the weekend because it is going to take a lot of time."
"Are you saying that because of the difficulty?" Monica asked.
"Maybe, but you\'ll have to wait and see," Michael said. "That\'s all for today. Any questions?"
Almost every hand was in the air except Luis\'.
"If your question is about the upcoming competition then don\'t ask, we\'ll talk about that tomorrow."
With that said everyone brought their hands down.
Luis and Dylan were back to their dormitory before evening, they dismissed their training super early today but they were surprised to get back and find Ace already back.
When they asked Ace about what they did today the duo were surprised to find out that it was exactly the same thing only that on their own they were divided into groups of five because of their large number.
"Fighting that thing was tough, one person got killed in our group."
Luis and Dylan turned to each other on hearing what Ace said, the fight had been extremely easy for them and they didn\'t even lose anybody.
"Is anything wrong?" Ace asked, noticing the strange attitude of his roommates.
"It\'s just that the fight was easy for us," Dylan said.
"And you guys didn\'t lose anybody?"
The duo shook their heads.
"Maybe the guy was really weak." Ace shrugged. "And besides you guys have a wonder warrior with you."
\'She didn\'t even do much.\' Dylan wanted to say but later decided not to.
With just a few minutes remaining before it was evening, Luis left for work, the reason he was leaving early today was that he needed enough time to check something out.
"Hi, greeny you are really early today. Hope you are not planning on running off today like the other day?" Emilia said on seeing Luis enter the library.
"No, I don\'t have anything else to do today," Luis said.
He quickly got to work clearing the books on the empty shelves.
When he got between the shelves he glanced towards the large bookshelf at the far end.
He dropped the books he was holding at the right shelves and made sure that Emilia wasn\'t looking her way.
He walked to the shelf and began to inspect it but he couldn\'t find anything about the shelf, the only books that seemed to be there were history books.
"What is he hiding here?" Luis muttered.
"You are very predictable Luis?"
Luis turned to see Michael standing behind him with a smug look on his face.
"I knew that telling you not to go near here would build up the desire for you to go near it," Michael said. "But since you want to see what\'s behind here so bad I\'ll show you."
"Behind?"
Michael lifted the book on top of the bookshelf and pushed what looked like a button, the next thing that happened amazed Luis.
The Shelf shifted to one side like a door and revealed what looked like a security camera room.
"What is this place?" Luis asked as he walked in with Michael.
"My monitoring room."
He walked to one of the keyboards and made the monitors begin to show the different areas where they were security cameras.
\'He has cameras all over the place?\' Luis was panicking inside now as he thought of what happened with George and how George may already know of it.
\'He can\'t have cameras mounted inside the woods.\'
"I even have some of them in the woods," Michael said as he turned on one of the monitors displaying the woods. "I must find out where those demons are coming from."
Luis was no longer paying attention to him as he had his eyes on one of the monitors which were displaying an open field like the one he went to with Ella, he wasn\'t looking at it because it looked familiar.
What looked like an army of red figures were coming close to the camera and as they came closer Luis was slowly making out what they were.
"Are those…."
"I know what you are thinking." Michael had suddenly appeared behind Luis." They are real." Michael said slowly nodding his head.
