Chapter 1096: 17.23 Fourth Violet Star - Arrival on Planet Terra
With the exception of those who provided services to the Duke Palace and Emperor Cale Meijer von Imperlian, who was informed of the Grand Marshal"s departure, no one else was informed of the Grand Marshal"s departure until the following day. In order to prevent those who were interested in the planet from plotting against the Empire, Emperor Cale made sure that no one else knew that the Grand Marshal of the Imperium was not present on the Capital Star.
The s.p.a.cecraft that is transporting all of the partic.i.p.ants in the upcoming event has arrived at its location. A Green Star appeared in front of people who were peering out of the ship"s windows. A star called Planet Terra has more land than water. Because of how fertile the ground is, a collection of trees can resemble a tower. The largest group of animals on the globe are the wild ones, and the majority of them are vicious carnivores. They also have delicious flesh that can be considered a delicacy.
Because to this planet"s lush vegetation, some Zergs have also colonized there; the majority of these Zergs are the meat-eating variety. The military remained on the planet to maintain it even though the Patrol Team had killed most of the zerg.
As the s.p.a.ceship approached the location, the pupils were instructed to congregate in the hall. The elderly guy who traveled with the kids to Planet Terra was Dean Frey von Gregory.
[Students, this Dean is happy to announce our arrival at the Venue of our Hunting Event. Welcome to Planet Terra. This is the beautiful land of greens. The water in this place is too little so I suggest you guys find a water source as soon as you land.]
[I will tell you the rules of this Hunting Compet.i.tion.
1. One is not allowed to kill their co-players or partic.i.p.ants.
{You will be under surveillance the whole time. So don"t try to attempt such. Attempted murder or killing itself is heavily punished in Imperium.}
2. Stealing hunt score is allowed as long one defeats the person in a duel or Group Battles
{Of course, if you are a group you can only duel as a duel. If you are a solo player you can only duel one-vs-one. Remember you can"t gang up on solo players as a group or you will be disqualified.}
3. There is a Tally Score for each hunt. It cannot be cheated.
Zergs
F-E ranked Zerg: 1 pt
D-C ranked Zerg: 3 pts
B-A ranked Zerg: 5 pts
S ranked Zerg: 10 pts
Mutated Animals
F-D ranked: 1 pt
C-A ranked: 3 pts
S ranked: 5 pts
Mutated Plants (Capture)
F-D ranked: 10 pts
C-B ranked: 15 pts
A ranked: 50 pts
S ranked: 100 pts]
[This is the tally score on how your hunting points will be calculated. As you can see, capturing a mutated plant had higher scores. This is because catching it is harder than killing it. It depends on your choice if you want to convert the captured mutated plants as points or bring them home with you. As long as you tamed it properly we have no problems with you bringing it back.]
[There are weapon restrictions during the event so all your belongings will be checked before we land on Planet Terra. There is lots of food in the wild so you can bring food with you on the field.]
[All players are required to wear a special terminal. Once you declare that you forfeit the event just press the red b.u.t.ton on the terminal, and a shield will protect you until the military picks you up. The protective cover is enough to block one hit from an S-ranked warrior.]
[Let the other teachers check your belongings before stepping out of the s.p.a.ceship. Those that aren"t allowed to be brought will be left behind on the ship. Good Luck, Students!]
The First Military Imperial School teachers all showed up in the training field to check the items the partic.i.p.ants had brought with them after the dean ended his speech. Very dangerous weapons that could harm the environment have been seized. Food was also removed. Learning how to seek for food was something the school wanted its kids to learn.
There are numerous items that the students brought. Their Mecha, equipment, arms, etc.
But for some reason, one of the group"s partic.i.p.ants is having a problem. This cla.s.s had a troubled student who also had a n.o.ble ident.i.ty.
Jace Green, who is in charge of the group, is currently having their s.p.a.ce b.u.t.tons and luggage examined. The items that the youngest prince"s lieutenants and Yara von Chrysalis packed were without issues. The young prince himself is the issue. A pile of sweets including cakes, chocolates, and junk food emerged before their faces when everything in his s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton was disclosed. The other teammates of the prince could only cover their face from embarra.s.sment when the mountain of snacks appeared.
"What the h.e.l.l are you bringing this much? You"ll only be at Planet Terra for a week!"
"Snacks are not food. They are just knick-knacks you won"t get full eating. Since it wasn"t considered a meal I can bring it with me right? This is my and Yara"s snacks." Jace Green tries his best to get his little snacks approved as non-restricted items.
"That"s true but not that many! If you eat this much you will get full. You can bring just ten pieces each!"
"No~ too little! Hundred each!" Jace Green bantered.
"Hmp! Five!"
"No! Why do you continue to decrease it!?" Complaints Jace Green.
"You can just bring three then!"
"Wah! No~ I agree. Just ten, we will bring ten each!" Since there are five people on the team, Jace Green von Imperlian chose ten treats for each of them, giving him 50 total. When the teacher notices this, he almost retracts his statement. Although he had a.s.sumed that only Jace Green and Yara von Chrysalis would bring snack, the leader really brought enough for everyone.
"Sly brat!"
The teacher checking their things gave up reprimanding the youngest prince and stared at Yara von Chrysalis obviously asking him to show what he brought.
"Student Yara, where are your things? Show them to this teacher to check."
Yara von Chrysalis nodded and handed his teacher a pair of his snowflake-shaped earrings for inspection. He was given this piece of s.p.a.ce inventory equipment by the Grand Marshal. Then a new mountain arose next to the little prince"s mountain of goodies. a mountain constructed from planting tools, fertilizers, and dirt. They were all in awe of what they had just witnessed.
"Where is your change of clothes, weapons, and potions?" The teacher asked.
Yara von Chrysalis gave the teacher his backpack after removing it from his bag. The suitcase included all the essentials, but the all-important s.p.a.ce earring, whose s.p.a.ce is even larger than the youngest prince"s s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton, was largely soil.
The teacher was about to erupt in rage when his coworkers intervened. When confronted with problematic kids like the youngest prince and Yara von Chrysalis, they could relate to the experience of losing their temper.
The thoughts of the teacher checking Jace Green"s group, "I can"t get angry. This child had always been like this. This time he brought not only a potted plant but also a mountain of soil and fertilizer. Motherf.u.c.ker!!!"
Jace Green was also dumbfounded and said to his friend, "Yara there is no need for this soil. The soil on Planet Terra is more fertile than this one. Just bring the pots, shovel, and watering pail with you. Also, put that bag in your s.p.a.ce earring, you will get tired if you carry it around as we go hunting. Just carry this pot."
After removing the bag from his friend"s back, he handed the miniature potted Venus flytrap lilies to Yara von Chrysalis. After the troop departed, they left the soil and productive land behind. The moment the teacher who was observing their group intended to stop them was when he saw Yara von Chrysalis holding a potted plant of Venus flytrap lilies. That plant, which is unmistakably a Sentient Plant, is giving off a powerful aura that he can feel. one that was as powerful as the A-ranked mutant plant.
"Ah! That plant...!"
Dean Frey von Gregory stopped this teacher from confiscating Yara"s potted plant.
"Let him bring it with him. He is a Plant Ability User. That plant itself is a weapon." Dean Frey von Gregory said.
"But that is a Mutated plant and a strong one as well. Isn"t it unfair for the others?" The teacher retorted
Dean Frey responded, "Planet Terra is full of those things. He might not even use that potted plant as almost everything in that Star can be controlled by him. Adding a pot of A-ranked plants doesn"t make any difference."
The instructors stop complaining about the potted plant user because they believe the Dean"s statements to be true. They are now concerned that Yara von Chrysalis, this plant"s user, may undermine the Event"s impartiality. After all, he has the most powerful skill here.
"I think letting Student Yara join this event is unfair itself. Considering this type of plant, he is almost unbeatable."
"Just treat him as a mascot. He won"t count in the internship of the Black Dragon Troop anyway even if their group won. He is just there to play and dig plants. Don"t worry too much about him." Dean Frey von Gregory said.
Other teachers recognized what they were saying when they observed Yara von Chrysalis holding the Grand Marshal"s hand occasionally when the latter came to pick him up from school or for lunch. They took precautions to prevent word of this child"s relationship with the Grand Marshal from getting out because they were aware of how important he was to him. The other educators wanted to inquire but were prevented from doing so by their colleagues. In the First Military Imperial School, such a subject is frowned upon.
Dean Frey von Gregory commanded, [Let the s.p.a.ceship enter Planet Terra. The partic.i.p.ants can leave using parachutes in their chosen area.]
Finally, the s.p.a.cecraft transporting the students who took part in the Hunting Event landed on Planet Terra. Residents of the Imperium Star had gathered to see their kids partic.i.p.ate in the event, which had begun to be streamed live.
[Ah! They finally arrived on Planet Terra!]
[Woohoo! They finally went live! Look at these cute cubs. I wonder how much they can hunt in Terra this year!]
[I heard the second prince and the youngest prince both made their own teams and joined the event. I wonder who is stronger?]
[The youngest prince is still so young. O don"t think he can"t beat the second prince yet. Moreover, the Second Prince has Young Master Silvan with him. The youngest awakened Mediator and their compatibility is great!]
[Rumors say that Young Master Silvan"s healing ability is mutated. I wonder if it"s real.]
[We can only watch and see if the rumors are real!]
[What is this? There"s an ordinary person in the youngest prince"s team! Why did they bring such a burden with them? He is even holding a pot of plants. What is the use of such a thing?]
While they watched the onslaught of remarks on the television, those who understood Yara von Chrysalis" true might were compelled to comment. The Grand Marshal and his troops were also viewing the live video from inside a big black military s.p.a.ceship. They couldn"t help but respond when they heard that people were looking down on their young lord.
[Our Young Lord is the strongest. That potted plant of his can eat as many of you s.h.i.ts. If you know nothing, shut up!]
[That"s right! Who told you that ordinary people can"t join the event!? There are lots of other ordinary students who join as well. Why are you bullying our Young Lord?]
[You take it big! Come meet this old man and have a duel. I will smash your face to the ground and break your dirty mouths!!]
Adjutant Kir von Giselle who was about to join the battle against the haters Yara von Chrysalis online when the Grand Marshal suddenly spoke.
"What are you guys waiting for? Use the fastest speed to reach Planet Terra." Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian said. He continues to watch the figure of his wife"s incarnation on the video livestream. While they rest, accept his command.
"Yes, Grand Marshal!!"
On Planet Terra, however, students descended from the s.p.a.cecraft one at a time. People in the group departed as a unit, whilst those traveling alone do so covertly. When they prepared to jump down, Jace Green von Imperlian and his crew made too much noise. All of Yara von Chrysalis" teammates rushed to stop him from jumping off without a parachute.
"Parachute! Wear your parachute!" Jace Green and the other three said.
Yara von Chrysalis looked at them and innocently declared. "I won"t die. They said they will catch me if I fall."
"Our little ancestor! Please wear your parachutes! We don"t want to die..."
"No! Wear your parachutes. It"s dangerous!" Jace Green von Imperlian had to make his dense friend his parachute and watch over him until all of the members of their team were ready.
"All ready?"
"Yes!"
"Then let"s go!"
