I Attack 10,000x Times Stronger-Chapter 2: The Culling Game!

An incredibly beautiful woman walked up to the podium.

She wore a black overall that did absolutely nothing to contain her bountiful chest, paired with black baggy trousers that somehow made every head in the place turn anyway.

Her dark hair was pulled back cleanly. Her skin was extremely pale and her face extremely beautiful.

When she opened her mouth to speak, two sharp canines caught the light. She was of the Vampire race.

"Today marks the 55th Awakening Ceremony of Marlin Academy."

Her voice rolled across the 10,000 seat hall like she was using a megaphone.

"You have all been preparing for this day your entire lives."

Inside the Grand Ceremony Hall, over three thousand 18 year olds stood in attention.

Amongst them were Elves with their pointed ears, Vampires with their pale skins, werewolves, humans and other races.

All of them staring up at the platform, gazing at beautiful feature of Senior Instructor Tatiana.

"Nine years of theory in secondary school, and one year of practical training here at Marlin Academy. All of it has led you to this single morning."

"Today, only your survival matters. The Culling Game will begin. Reveal your potential to the gods and with better luck become a Godscion if you have what it takes." Her gaze was level, unflinching.

"However, you must be content and not greedy. There are billions of precious treasures out there. But your life is the only thing in this world precious to yo."

Three thousand students gaze hardened and focused.

Except for one.

Instructor Tatiana’s glanced at the students and her eyes suddenly pasued as she did a double take.

Third row from the back, slightly left of center was a tall, tiny boy that looked emasculated.

The boy was extremely handsome with his strange dual colored eyes. He was chuckling quietly, leaning sideways toward his chubby friend and pointing his finger directly at her and giggling as though sharing a silent joke.

Once his fat friend noticed her gaze, his face paled and he immediately started to step in the feet of his thin friend as though trying to warn him.

Tatiana stared.

And the youth looked right at her, stifled a laughter and kept talking.

She was stunned.

Her voice didn’t waver as she continued.

"The Culling Game does not care about your bloodline, academic scores, family connections, or your—"

The boy was still talking.

Her lips curved into a sharp wicked smile.

She raised one finger and blood energy started to form at.l the top of her finger, coiling and compressing into a spinning ball the size of a marble.

She tapped the spinning crimson blood.

"Suuuuuu—"

"Bang."

Igris who was suffering from cancer and shortsightedness felt a sharp pain below his chest and then a feeling as though he was hit by a car overwhelmed him.

"What the fu—"

In the next second, he was sent flying backwards like a ragdoll. The students behind him gave way as he collided heavily the white wall. Then collapsed to the ground.

Blood instantly started pooling on the ground below him. The wound was just 3 centerlines away from his heart. If he hadn’t been laughing, letting his body shake, his heart would have definitely shattered.

The attack was meant to kill him!

The hall went completely silent.

No one dared to help him least they suffer the same consequences. Senior Instructor Tatiana is a Senior Instructor. Killing one or two students three months is considered a good result.

His roommates, Caleb, Henry, Derek, Sam, Icarus glanced at him wanting to help but then gritted their teeth and looked straight ahead.

They didn’t call her the Devil Baroness for nothing!

Igris layed helpless on on the ground with blood staining his uniform.

’What a vicious woman.’

The awakening was just a few minutes away! Couldn’t she have waited?

His body was incredibly weak due to the cancer and now with the injury, his chances of surviving the Culling Game in this condition was less than 5 percent!

Tearing off his uniform sleeve, he gritted his teeth and packed the torn piece into the wound!

’Fuck!’

He didn’t dare to scream and could only clench his fist in pain.

Pressing hard, sweat dripped profusely from his forehead and he almost blacked out from pain.

He wrapped another clothing around his chest to hold the cloth in his wound.

Then, slowly, Igris managed to push himself upright, leaning against the wall.

Instructor Tatiana didn’t even spare him a glance.

She hadn’t even looked at him once since the shot the blood energy and continued her speech.

"After awakening the system, you will face other 16-year-old in a one-on-one battle to unlock your talent."

"Do not hesitate and definitely do not show mercy opponent as your will not extend you any. It’s your life agaisnt theirs."

"Once your talent awakens, you will be transported to the First Dimension. There you will find the Marlin Academy fortress. From that point — your real training begins."

She let her gaze move one final time across the three thousand faces packed into the roofless hall.

"May you find strength. Or may you find a merciful end."

"Either way, it has been a complete waste of time instructing you."

The students erupted into stunned but before they could say anything,a single thunderclap detonated above hall.

Then a holographic blue panel materialized in front of every 18-year-old simultaneously across the entire planet, in every language.

[ World Population Detected: 45,219,802 Eligible Initiates. ]

[ The Culling Game Begins. ]

And then the light came down. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Thousands of golden beams descended from the torn-open sky like rainfall made of sunlight.

One beam found Igris.

It wrapped around him like a bubble made from water.

Around him, three thousand beams found three thousand students and then they were transported.

The Culling Game had begun.
