I indeed leveled up 5 times from the system reward...
-Buargghh!
Spewing a mouthful of blood, my body trembled involuntarily... "Damn it... my body is at its limit..." But even so, thanks to the [Cold Mind] skill, I felt no pain. Clenching my fists, I feared the violent reaction once my pain sensors reactivated... Looking around, blood splatters spread everywhere, bodies cleanly severed by Leslie\'s blade—a bizarre sight.
Some black stains littered the ground; they were the students I had managed to touch with my flames. Taking a deep breath... I looked to the center, Leslie\'s beautiful black hair swaying in the wind, her violet eyes gazing deeply at me. It would\'ve been touching if she weren\'t covered in blood...
"I\'m sorry... I\'ll be out for a few hours..." Blood trickled from the corners of my lips... By my estimates, the blue flame had been active for nearly half an hour. The attacks had completely stopped, but the other half, who had been hiding, managed to escape. We didn\'t need to pursue them, nor was I in any condition to. My legs buckled, and I fell to the ground...
Gritting my teeth... Who in the world isn\'t afraid of pain? My body spasmed again, and I felt my consciousness starting to fade as my mana reserves were depleting...
"Deactivate [Cold Mind] skill."
[Cold Mind skill deactivated.]
The world seemed to stop, and I didn\'t even get a chance to blink before I passed out. Even unconscious, I felt my flesh tearing and constantly convulsing... The pain was so intense that...
-ARTGHHTTTT!! Knock me out!!!
Screaming in agony as if my soul were being split in half...
Bang!!!

"Perfect..." Daniela sighed as she looked at the small blue flag in her hands. The flag was no more than half a meter in size. The few students still alive watched with trembling eyes as their bodies disappeared into starlight, signaling their disqualification...
Daniela handed the flag to Adrian: "At least we won\'t come in last place..." She glanced sorrowfully at Kara\'s body as it too vanished into starlight. All that remained of this battlefield was the blood... the other bodies also vanished silently...
The only casualty was Kara... leaving us with just 8 students from Class 1...
"Damn, this hurts..." Beatrice sat on the ground, looking regretfully at her right arm, which had been severed by Draven\'s axe. In fact, Kara also died due to his axe...
"I\'m exhausted..." Olivia also sat on the ground, letting her hat fall. She wiped the dirt off her face and pursed her lips: "Anyone have water?" she asked, her lips dry.
"I do, but only 3 liters. It\'s all we have for now..." Adrian pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to Olivia.
"Ouch! Ouch!! It hurts!!" Elias cried out in pain, gritting his teeth... "Stop moving! You\'re a man, deal with it!" Daniela scowled as she placed her hands on Elias\'s chest, using healing magic to close the deep wound... "It burns like hell!" Elias groaned, closing his eyes...
Quiet footsteps approached from behind. Without turning, Daniela asked, "How are you feeling, Evelyn?"
"I\'m a bit tired, hungry, and sleepy," she murmured, sitting down beside her and falling silent...
"We\'re worse off than before." Beatrice picked up her severed arm and handed it to Adrian, who looked at her in confusion... "What are you doing?" he asked, adjusting his glasses.
"Keep my arm! You think I\'m just going to leave it lying around?" Beatrice smacked Adrian on the head with her severed arm... He nodded silently: "Crazy woman..."
Beatrice grinned... "We should leave; I don\'t want another group of students to show up after hearing the explosions. Besides..." Beatrice pointed to the sea of smoke rising from the forest... "That\'s drawing too much attention..."
Daniela, with bloodstained hands, wiped them with a cloth... She looked at all her companions... They were just as exhausted as she was... After using too much healing magic along with protection and attack magic, their mana reserves were nearly drained. But it was true that staying here any longer might bring another attack, and we hadn\'t eaten... Thinking of that...
"What did you get, Adrian?"
Adrian\'s main mission was to steal all the supplies. He looked into his bag and adjusted his glasses: "We\'ve got half of what looks like a deer carcass, some medicine, small cots, cups, and toilet paper..."
Daniela, Beatrice, and Olivia\'s eyes lit up...
"Let\'s head back to our territory..." Daniela quickly stood up, eyeing the water Beatrice and Olivia had... The others also stood silently, especially Elias and Adrian, who exchanged strange glances at the two girls\' reactions... they even seemed to walk faster...
