The Author's POV

Chapter 19

-Ding!

A sweet melodious jingle ranged through my ears as I was about to move to my next location. Suddenly my body froze and blue text appeared in my vision.

[Time left 00:00:00 - Congratulations on finishing the test. you will soon each be logged out from the capsule]

"Ah..time's finally up"

Although I technically did not do any physical training, the mental exhaustion stemming from constantly being alert and taking note of every little detail surrounding me, was a first for me who had never been through such an experience in my life.

It really drained a lot out of me.

It felt as if I had trained intensively for five hours straight without any pause.

Slowly the trees, the sky, the animals, everything around me started to disintegrate turning the whole world white.

Squinting my eyes, I could see the remaining students who had survived, far away in the white world.

Surprisingly there were only about eight students near my area. Meaning that this could either mean either one of these three things:

- a. Most of the students in my zone died

- b. Most of the students in my zone went to other areas

- c. Not a lot of students spawned in my area

I believe the correct answer was in between the first and second options since most of the students probably didn't know a lot about the scenario.

Actually, now that I take a good look at the whole white world, including my area, there were not many students left.

Although the map was huge, and I couldn't clearly see how many people remained alive, with no obstacles obstructing my vision I could make a general deduction of how difficult the test was, basing on how many students had survived till the end.

I estimated that a good 60% of the 90 students who were originally in the simulation had perished.

With most of the students being at the center of the map, excluding some outliers who remained in their original area, I could more or less make an approximate deduction on how many students survived

The number of students that remained, although small, didn't surprise me as this number was within my estimation. It was approximately the same amount as I had written in the novel.

[Ehm..ehm..can you guys hear me?]

Suddenly, professor Thibaut's voice rang in my ears, prompting me to listen carefully.

[Alright, I want to say a few things first before I let you out of the capsules]

[First, congratulation to you all for surviving this test. This test was specifically designed to test your adaptability in foreign environments, and how well you can survive in the wild.]

...It's true.

Although this bastard was using this test as a means to create disorder between some of the students, the test was still very good.

Although he did change some things here and there so that he could create some conflict between the students, the test was indeed a good way to help students adapt to foreign environments. Actually in my opinion this test was better as he made this test a bit more useful for real life, as you might someday be hunted by humans too.

No, it would be more accurate to say that being hunted by fellow humans, such as villains, would be the most likely scenario.

By 'indirectly' allowing students to kill each other, it raised the difficulty to another level. Because not only did you have to watch out for beasts, but you also had to look out against fellow classmates.

This little 'detail', made the training for me much more efficient.

well, that didn't mean the professor was a good guy.

I was just taking advantage of his schemes to further improve myself.

[Though a lot of you have either survived by pure luck or through some sort of scheme, at the end of the day what really matters is not how you won, but if you won. So for those of you who made it till the end, I congratule you. Considering how difficult this test was, having survived in this simulation is accomplishment to be proud about. Puff up your chest and exit the capsule with your head held high]

[Enough with that, next up...once you exit the capsule on the top of the classroom you can find a large monitor where the group rankings will be displayed]

[Though no extra merits will be awarded this time as it's still your first week, you can still brag to your friends about getting first in your class]

...I feel like a lot of students would actually brag about this.

Considering how in this world most of the people were proud and arrogant, for the next week or so I would expect the top 5 group member's egos to shoot through the roof.

[Okay, I think I've said enough. I will dismiss you from your cabin one by one so don't panic if your view suddenly gets dark]

[Once again, congratulations to those of you that survived]

Soon professor Thibuat's voice disappeared and gradually students started turning into streaks of light particles that disappeared from the virtual world.

As I was watching the whole process in which students slowly disappeared from the virtual world, I could finally relax my mind

Next up, I started to ponder on what to do after I exited the class.

Hmm...but what should I do after this?

I don't think I have it in me to train any further.

I could go to the swimming pool and do
