Chapter 72: Mountain-1
As everyone was either sitting on the bed or lying down and discussing with each other as they all had basically recovered completely.
A portal opened underneath everyone and dragged them into it.
Everyone was shocked but yet they all fell into it.
Anthony, his subodinate, Bryan, Tiara were the only ones who reacted immediately and tried to stabilise themselves without falling.
Tiara was already used to this, due to this is how her master, the Vice president always brought her to the training ground so she was always on guard about it, but today wasn't her master's training day so she resisted.
Anthony won't fall for such things since he is always on guard, although he and Tiara both possessed the space element, none of them even felt the space around them bend, this shows how much ridiculous control whoever opened the portal had.
As for Anthony's subodinate, Anthony already used this trick once on them so obviously they won't fall for it a second time.
Bryan survived based on pure talent and battle instinct alone.
But alas, it was all useless, even though none of them fell into the portal, that doesn't mean they survived it.
Tendrils of darkness suddenly shot out of the portal with a greater speed than anyone's reaction time and wrapped around them and dragged them into the portal and it closed up.
The healers present in the room as the students were taken away didn't move or even bat an eye in their direction, they all behaved like nothing happened.
At another location hundreds of portals opened up and people dropped from the high up in the skies, some landed on the feet, some landed on their faces and some on their butt.
Immediately Anthony came out from his portal, he instantly stood on the air then he looked around, he saw other students also falling from the sky in different directions, he decided to get to the ground like the rest.
Some controlled their element and landed with beautiful finesse, anyone who didn't land on their feet here was just an idiot.
Everyone looked around as they landed, mountains and hills so tall like they reached the clouds stood tall and imposing and extremely beautiful, the mana here even smeed more vibrant than the Academy general domain, different water bodies could be seen everywhere with different fishes swimming around, with trees so tall and beautiful that gave off a serene feeling.
Everyone was busy looking around, even those from rich families were in awe of such environment as this environment was just too beautiful and they haven't seen such beauty even though they had been to many places.
As everyone was still admiring the scene Klaus's voice boomed yet again from above.
"It seems even after warning you about dropping your guard and punishing you maggots about dropping your guard you still dropped it yet again and fell into an unknown portal, indeed killing you all is the only solution there is"
Everyone was speechless, Klaus was literally threatening them with their lives, wasn't he afraid of retaliation from the entire world.
"Well, although some of you resisted and didn't fall into the portal, so I commend you for that, ten thousand points to those who didn't fall into the portal immediately" Klaus spoke again as he looked and Bryan and the rest.
Others who fell into the portal felt like crying, ten thousand points wasn't a small number to them, it could be used to afford a lot of resources to help them.
Suddenly four bracelets appeared on everyone's limbs, these were weight bracelets which added weight to their body and also sealed off their mana.
The bracelets on everyone varied of different weights since everyone had different physique and strength because even without mana you can't give the weight of a dragon to a human or an elf.
Everyone felt their body suddenly become heavy as they even need to assert a little bit of strength just to lift their hand up to their face.
"Those are weight bracelets, I am sure you all already know what that is so I won't explain, as punishment, you all are required to climb the mountains behind you" klaus said
Everyone looked at the mountain Klaus pointed to and felt like they were just asked to die, although with mana and their elements they could scale the mountain easily, it would just take a little bit of time, but asking to do that without mana or their element and even with weights on was just another level of cruelty in itself.
Anthony looked at the mountain and the environment, he guessed they weren't in the Academy anymore, Klaus had teleported everyone out of the Academy domain.
"Get moving you maggots don't make me talk twice, the last up the mountain would receive another punishment"
"HAHAHAHA, Anthony I am issuing a challenge like you said, if I get to the top of the mountain first, you will tell me your secret this time, I am a Titan there is no way I would lose, I have been climbing mountains since I was two, HAHAHAHAH" Bringer said as he laughed happily, seemingly finding something Anthony would lose at.
Anthony smiled, although he hasn't climbed a mountain before he wasn't afraid he would lose to Bringer.
"Since you want to lose so bad, you are on" Anthony said with a smirk.
Everyone immediately ran up the mountain and got climbing, many moved at a snail pace, some moved with speed, even though the weight brought down their strength, they can't suddenly fall to the level of the lowest of the lows, so even with the weights on, superior species showed why they are indeed called the superior species, those with a physique showed why they possess such a physique in the first place.
As everyone climb, they complained and shouted as they moved, many people injured as their flesh tore itself as they climbed up the mountain, their fingertips flesh tore apart and shined red, but they continued moving up the mountain even though they complained.
But some didn't even have a single scratch on them, just like Bryan, just because his mana was sealed off and weight was put on him doesn't mean he suddenly lost his dragon physique so things like stones on a mountain couldn't surpass his defence.
People like Tiara who were Vampires bleed from their injury, although vampire possessed super strength it doesn't mean they had a ridiculous physique, but their regeneration trait of their race healed their injuries, but of course Tiara who was already an S ranker can't be injured just because she climbed a mountain.
But this wasn't a regular mountain, the more they climbed the more people screamed as even those who had a strong physique started getting injured.
At a point Tiara's started getting injuries on her hand as her flesh broke apart but were immediately healed up, she was shocked that she even got an injury in the first place.
She looked up and saw her classmates who were up ahead still hasn't even sustained an injury till now, but she can't blame herself for being a vampire, they didn't possess a ridiculous physique, but she didn't understand how the rest weren't injured.
Anthony, his subodinate, Bryan, Rider, Bringer, were all at the fore front climbing the mountain, none of them have even sustained an injury yet as they climb without a sweat.
Rider looked at Donna, Vivian and Evelyn and said in a questioning tone.
"Aren't you mages, how come you are climbing this mountain with such speed and without an injury, aren't you meant to be slow and be injured by now and struggling at the bottom of the mountain"
Evelyn said with a smirk "When you win against Anthony we would tell you"
