Conquering The Game's World

As stated by Professor Olivia. This dungeon is located on the East Island of the Oracle Academy called Vernos Dungeon.

The Vernos Dungeon is divided into 5 areas, each containing different environments and monsters. Which can be regarded as a set of five different dungeons inside the main dungeon. The five zones are:

The Poisonous Swamp: They have highly toxic reptilian and flying monsters.

The Winter Mist: Agile monsters specialized in assassination and sneak attacks.

Tech-Mech: Goblins and Kobolds with high-tech weapons and Mechas.

Raging Desert: Earth and Sand Element monsters.

Evergreen Paradise: Giant Insect Monsters and Carnivorous Plant Monsters.

There will be monsters ranging from F to B rank. The team will receive points for every monster that is defeated by them. The points distribution is as such.

F-Rank Monster: 1 point each.

E-Rank Monster: 2 points each.

D-Rank Monster: 5 points each.

C-Rank Monster: 30 points each.

B-Rank Monster: 300 points each.

Hidden Mini-Boss: 50 points each.

Hidden Boss: 150 points each.

There's only one B-Rank monster in the entire dungeon. One Hidden Boss and Hidden Mini-Boss are there in each of the five zones.

As for finding them? It's up to the students' luck and intelligence.

Each zone will have a piece of golden slate hidden, which the teams will compete for. After collecting all the slates, they are to be brought to the final altar and pieced together to call forth the ultimate boss of the dungeon, which is a B-Rank Monster.

For finding each slate, the founder team shall be rewarded with 30 points. The team that pieced the slates together on the altar will receive 100 points.

There are also several achievement points that the students are supposed to explore on their own.

The overall points collected by all the teams from a class will be the class points. The class with the most class points will be the winner and the students from that class will receive 100,000 merit points each, stacked over the merit points they will receive for their contribution.

Resources found and collected by the students during the Dungeon Rush are for themselves to keep. Of course, that is after getting inspected by the academy.

If they want, they can also exchange them in the exchange center for merit points.

The Dungeon Rush will go on for 12 hours.

Fights between students are not prohibited, but critically injuring the other students may lead to severe penalties.

The academy will set up a protection mechanism for all students, which will save them from life-threatening injuries and defend them after they give up.

'There are several loopholes in the rules for students to exploit.' Luis shook his head with a sigh. He knows there are several good things hidden in the Vernos Dungeon. However, they aren't as important to him. Because even if they are rare, but not so much. He could get all those things by spending a bit of money.

'Ah, well, I'll get whatever I can. Why should I let go of something free?'

As he thought so, Luis turned his attention towards Professor Olivia, who was answering the doubts of some students.

"Professor!" He called out.

"Yes? Student Luis. Do you have something to ask?" Olivia asked with a plain expression.

The students who were discussing amongst themselves turned silent, shifting their attention to Luis and Olivia in unison.

Whatever the top student was going to ask, they deemed it important information to know. Even if they have yet to hear his question.

"There is no information about students being provided with weapons. Does that mean we can bring our weapons and artifacts?"

At his question, the eyes of several students lit up. While some students, who also had the same thoughts, looked at him with knowing smiles.

Olivia nodded in response. "Yes, you are supposed to bring your weapons. As for artifacts, forbidden artifacts are not allowed. If brought, the student shall be expelled. Only the artifacts that a student can individually operate are allowed."

When the students heard this, they all looked at her with wide eyes.

"Professor, why didn't you tell us this earlier?" Luis asked with a knowing smile, glancing at his classmates.

Olivia understood that Luis already knew this, he was just doing this to warn his classmates.

"The academy doesn't tolerate students using forbidden means to increase their power. That is why there is no need to mention such things. The academy prefers to kick out such students directly. If you hadn't asked this. I wouldn't have explained."

After listening to Olivia's explanation, the students nodded their heads in understanding, subconsciously also agreeing with her.

Then several other questions were asked, to which Olivia responded patiently. She answered the ones she could and rejected the ones she wasn't allowed to reveal.

Several minutes passed as such and it was now time for Olivia to leave.

"If you have more questions. You can come to me later. I advise everyone to meet up with their teammates, plan out a good strategy, and get familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses in the next seven days."

"I wish you all good luck with exam preparations!"

Olivia left behind those words of encouragement as she came out of the Leviathan Class, moving towards her office.

Luis was in his thoughts when he noticed Alicia beside him, standing up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"… To talk with my teammates and decide on an appointment with them later," Alicia said with a somewhat unnatural face.

Luis opened his eyes wide in surprise. Then he remembered the party they went to a few days ago, where Alicia got familiar with their classmates with the help of Diana and understood everything.

"Hmm, good idea. I'll go meet my teammates too." Luis said with a smile.

To which, Alicia nodded and left.

He continued observing her as she talked with her teammates.

Upon seeing her growth, Luis felt a little emotional.

After wiping the invisible tears at the corner of his eyes. Luis also stood up to meet with the members of Team 3.
