The voice was somewhat shrill and grating on the ears. Jason turned his head and saw a girl with two followers in tow. The girl was wearing the uniform of St. Mungo’s Academy, with average features, high cheekbones, and narrow eyes, intently staring at Tedi, while her two tall and sturdy followers, despite being suited up, couldn’t conceal their muscular torsos, and exuded an unwelcoming aura. Clearly, these two followers served the function of bodyguards. And they were quite qualified at that. At least, Jason could clearly feel that these two possessed a fierceness surpassing that of ordinary people. Similarly, the two bodyguards also sensed something extraordinary about Jason. They stared intently at Jason. Jason’s casual scrutiny had doubled the pressure on them. “You just need to prove one of them.” “If you dare, head to the second arena!” This time Andema didn’t linger and turned to leave. Jason turned his head to look at the female student council president. “Where is the second arena?” “It’s in the old campus area.” “However, Teacher Jason…” Jason cut off the female student council president mid-sentence, speaking decisively. It was just a single verification. Nothing was more important than an extra meal. Seeing Jason’s resolute demeanor, the female student council president furrowed her brows and, ultimately, chose to compromise. She signaled for Jason to follow her. The female pastry chef and Edward naturally followed. The members of the student council also all came along. They passed the riding area, heading into the depths of St. Mungo’s Academy. After about 20 minutes and passing through a pine forest, a massive pit appeared. “This is the second arena,” the female student council president said. Jason looked at the so-called ‘second arena’; the huge pit before him did not look like it was purpose-built, but rather like it had been altered and restructured. Because at the bottom of the pit, Jason saw remnants of aquatic plants that would only grow at the bottom of a lake. But Jason could confirm they were indeed aquatic plants. “Was this a lake before?” “They drained the lake water and then built what’s called the ‘second arena’?” “Why not build a new one if it’s possible to drain the lake?” With the current technology level of the replica world, draining such a large lake was no small feat. The costs would be enormous. With such expenses, it would be better to just build anew. As he pondered, Jason continued looking around. Unlike the previous dense vegetation, there wasn’t a single plant here, just the bare, hardened yellow-earth ground, terribly simple. The group’s direction of arrival was directly above the second arena, which allowed them a clear view of the scene below. The ground, paved with square stones, was firm and solid. In the very center of the arena was a large cage covered with a black cloth. Roaring sounds came from the cage. The previously scornful miss from the Andema family stood on the other side of the arena with an attendant. Upon seeing Jason approaching, she immediately said, “Which skill are you going to verify?” “Whichever one you choose to verify will involve what’s down there.” “Of course, you can also choose to give up.” A malicious smile appeared on her face. Then, she waved her hand. The attendant inside the arena promptly pulled off the black cloth. Instantly, louder roars echoed along with cries of shock. “Andema, you’ve gone too far!” “How can a person fight against a bear?” The student council members spoke out accusingly against Andema. But the scornful miss just sneered. “Humans can’t beat a bear?” “That just proves he’s too weak!” “How can such a person become a student council advisor?” “Did I say it had to be bare-handed?” “Isn’t Teacher Jason skilled in shooting?” Andema scoffed again, maintaining her stance. This attitude greatly irritated the student council members. Even the normally good-tempered female pastry chef frowned. Edward glared at her in anger. He knew well that ordinary small-caliber guns weren’t lethal for a bear; they would only anger it. Facing an injured and frenzied bear, anyone would likely be torn to shreds! Especially this bear. It did not show any restraint even in its cage, on the contrary, it was increasingly ferocious. Edward was about to warn his friend instinctively. But when he turned around, he realized his friend who had just been beside him was no longer there. A student council member exclaimed. Judging from their expressions, Jason had somehow already made it into the arena below. The attendant seeing Jason appear, turned to look at the person he served. The smile that spread across the face of Andema’s youngest daughter was one of cruelty, and without hesitation, she gestured with her hand. Immediately, the attendant ran toward the exit above. In his grip was a rope. When he reached the passage and shut the door, he pulled the rope. The bolt locking the cage fell to the ground.
