My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

The next day was finally here and it wasn't only Jake that woke up early, his friends all woke up earlier than usual. Since they were all awake, Jake decided to do all his physical training inside the room.

While Jake was doing his push ups, Cindy came over.

"Must you always do physical training? Can't you take a break. It's not like we are still in the academy."

"Regardless of whether I'm in the academy or not, I need to this," Jake said. "And I will appreciate if you gave me a little bit of space so I can continue."

To which Cindy just shrugged and went to sit with the others. After a few minutes of physical training, Jake decided to go outside for his daily running exercise. Jake got outside, got ready and took of running with full speed around the shelter. And then after a few minutes of running, Jake heard a ding In his head.

<Congratulations! User has completed today's daily quest. Reward has been granted.> To which Jake just pulled up his status screen to check.

***************************

Jake just sighed and slowly walked back to his room. When he got there, he saw that everyone were all ready and prepared for the day so he hurriedly got prepared so he won't be left behind. After a few hours, they all went to take their breakfast in a dining hall in the shelter. After breakfast, they were all called to a large storage room.

"Welcome young soldiers," Lee said. "Today, is the beginning of your beast hunt. So we called you here to give you some equipment that will help make your hunting a little bit easier."

The whole students were all wondering what equipment Lee was talking about. That was when some soldiers brought all manner of crates filled with things that they didn't know about.

"In all these crates, there are equipment that will make your hunting easier and also, they aren't for you to keep. After the hunt, you need to return them except if they are broken or something but if you think you wanna play smart by lying about the equipment breaking or anything then you better think twice coz we have a way to tell if you are lying or not." Lee said.

Then he signalled the soldiers to open one of the crates. The crates the soldier opened, was filled with weapons. Different types of weapons from;short swords, axes and bows. Then Lee called the students team by team to come pick their own equipment.

When it got to Jake's team's turn, Sophia went first and quickly picked the Scimitar that she always used in the sword club. Jack picked a Katana blade, Jack picked a Tachi. While Vynn picked a spear, Kate picked a bow and arrow, Peter picked a double axe and finally Cindy picked a sword also.

Jake inspected the weapons with his inspect skill and he noticed that they all had one thing in common and that was, they were all basic tier weapons. After all the teams picked their weapons, Lee decided to make an announcement.

"Okay. All the weapons with you guys, will need to be returned after the week long hunting. And also will all the team leaders step forward."

The whole team leaders stepped forward and they were all handed a med kit, an endless pouch that things could be stored in water.

"Now you will go into the hunting grounds, to hunt. Make sure you don't stray into the red colored zone and also, Sergeant Leo and I will be nearby all the time but we won't interfere in your hunting unless we see you can't handle a beast." Lee said.

"And yes all team leaders, the watch you were given, in case you forgot lemme remind you. You can only press the button there when you see a beast that's very powerful and you can't run away because of whatever situation. Actually the only powerful beast you can see here is an intermediate beast but I will advice you shouldn't engage, just press the button and find a way to escape." Lee said.

"Alright, let the beast hunt begin." Leo said clapping his hands to which the whole students all rush out of the building.

Quickly bringing out the map they bought earlier, the team decided to pick where they should head to.

"I think we should play it safe and head off to the green zone." Vynn suggested.

"Yeah, I also agree." Jake said.

"Alright then. Let's all head off to the green colored zone." Kate said and they all checked their equipment and other things before they set off.

After a few minutes of walking, they all got to the green colored zone but they noticed that they weren't the only ones here, there were other teams also and they have started hunting. The hunting grounds here were like the dessert, filled with sands all over. This desert part of the green zone, housed a lot of what was known as sand worms.

They were larger than snakes but have the properties of a worm. With the slimy and twisty body type. The worms were only found in the sands and they also travel through the sands quickly. This was the information that the group managed to find from the map and some other research.

Without wasting much time, they decided to start hunting. There was no need for them to come up with any luring techniques to lure the worms to them. For the worms already sensed them and they were heading for Jake's team quickly.

"They are coming!" Peter announced. "Prepare yourselves for hunting."

And immediately, the snakes bursted out of the ground and was heading for Jack who was in front of the group. Jake who was at the back of the group, counted around 10 sand worms heading for them. Jack upon seeing the worm, didn't hesitate as he quickly lifted his sword and made a diagonal strike but the worm was not cut Into two as Jack thought.

"What the! How come they aren't cut? Aren't they supposed to be just basic tier beasts?" And then he was bit on his arm.

Kate who was also at the back of the group, also prepared her bow and started firing towards the beasts although her skills were quite sloppy, She still managed to hit one of the beasts on the head with her arrow and that was when she noticed it wasn't moving so she quickly shouted out a warning to her team.

"Guys! Aim for the head, that's the beast weak point." Kate screamed.

Hearing this, the ones who were struggling, quickly started slashing and slashing but the beasts were also quick in movements as they quickly burrowed into the sand before they could be hit. Jake was still standing observing the whole team. And that was when the beasts popped out of the sand for an attack again.

Peter just smiled looking at them and then he started slashing with his two handed axe vigorously. Peter was so busy slashing one of the beasts that he didn't notice one of the beasts popping out from behind him. Meanwhile Jake who hadn't done anything until now, noticed the beast coming for Peter and he quickly dashed forward towards the beast quickly.

Luckily, he was quite close to Peter's position so he got there and managed to strike the beast on its head with a powerful sword strike that the beast was split into two. After a few minutes, they were finally done killing the beasts that headed for their way so they decided to rest up and collect the beast crystals they managed to kill.

When they finished collecting the crystals, they counted it and saw it was complete. So with a triumphant smile, they decided to rest before they hunt more beasts. Unknown to them, a beast was heading their way from underground but they didn't notice it.

Popping out of the ground, the beast aimed for Jake who was oblivious to the attack but luckily, Kate who was still standing back, drew her bow quickly and killed the beast. That was when they knew that a beast tried a sneak attack on them.

After thanking Kate for her help, they decided to also add the beast crystal to their collection but that was when they heard a shout.

"Hey! You guys stole our kill and beast crystal also." The voice said coming over to Jake's team.
