The next day, Vincent woke up from his training. He took a shower and changed his clothes. He was about to leave the dormitory when he saw Swire and Nabil with bloodshot eyes.
“You two haven’t slept all night?” asked Vincent curiously.
“Vincent, let me tell you, the two of us have made a major breakthrough in refining equipment,” said Swire.
Swire was excited. He did not look dispirited even though he had not slept for the whole night.
Vincent just shook his head and did not say anything.
In the past, although Swire was a little out of tune, he still had some restraint.
However, as he was hanging out with Nabil, Vincent realized that Swire had become lawless.
“Let’s go. It’s almost time,” said Vincent helplessly.
Swire was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly revealed a look of realization.
The mission starts today!
“Oh right! I forgot! Go, go, go! Principal Sibis is quite fierce. We can’t be late,” said Swire.
Swire pulled Vincent impatiently.
Nabil was a man of few words. He stood at the side and looked at Vincent and Swire with a happy smile on his face.
The three of them headed to the principal’s office. Only Teacher Chris had arrived. Sibis and Teacher Chris were both talking.
“You’re here,” said Sibis. He had a faint smile on his face.
Vincent could see the deep worry in his eyes.
The three of them nodded and sat on the sofa.
“Why are your eyes red?” asked Teacher Chris.
Teacher Chris looked at Swire and Nabil with a curious expression.
The two of them were a little embarrassed and grinned.
“Hehe, Teacher Chris! Nabil and I were researching about forging psionic equipment last night. We made great progress. We were so excited that we couldn’t sleep.”
Swire and Nabil looked at each other whilst explaining.
“One whole night?” Teacher Chris frowned.
“Did you forget that our mission starts today? You didn’t train properly, and you didn’t sleep at all!”
“It’s fine. Although I didn’t sleep at all, I’m not sleepy. I’m in good condition!”
Swire looked eager to give it a try, but before he could finish his sentence, he yawned.
Teacher Chris glared at him and did not say anything further.
Swire’s sleepless night was a foregone conclusion. No matter what she said, it would still be useless.
During that time, the others also arrived one after another. After everyone had arrived, Sibis instructed them to create a space portal.
“Alright everyone, you must pay attention to your safety. I hope you can all return safely,” said Sibis.
Everyone nodded.
They knew that the mission was very important and dangerous, but no one wanted to withdraw from it.
Vincent knew far more about the mission than the others. Plus, with his personality, it was impossible for him to choose to retreat at this time.
Teacher Chris wanted to protect the children. The God-Slaying Plan was too dangerous. If she could not protect them, she would not be at ease.
This God-Slaying Plan was much different than usual.
Previously, Falcon Country would gather the strongest people from the entire country together. They would then select individuals to form a team and complete the God-Slaying Plan. In the present, however, only students from Quinn were participating in the plan. It was clear that they were in much greater danger compared to before.
As for the others, they did not know the specific content and meaning of this so-called mission. They only knew that they were going to fight higher-level monsters, and everyone was very excited.
This was especially so for Chris, the battle maniac. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling when he knew he was going to fight stronger monsters.
Sibis’s gaze swept over everyone. There were so many talented children. Although they were not the strongest in Quinn, they were definitely the most talented. Any damage that they suffer would affect Quinn’s future development.
If Vincent and the others died in the God-Slaying Plan, Quinn’s development would fall back more than ten years. It would even affect their ranking as an Advanced Superpowered School.
Of course, the other schools had also suffered losses previously in the Jungle Capital. In fact, many of the schools had completely lost their potential for any future development.
Quinn was definitely in a better position compared to the other schools.
“Let’s go!” said Sibis. His tone was heavy.
He knew that his words would cause a group of people to go into battle with a slim chance of survival.
Life and death were determined by fate; wealth and honor were determined by heaven!
As the captain, Vincent was bound to take the lead. After all, no one knew what the situation on the other side of the dimensional portal was like. He could not let his companions take such risk.
He took a deep breath and stepped towards the portal. However, he was stopped by Teacher Chris.
“Vincent, let me go first. I’m an agility-type superpowered user. If anything happens, I can probably dodge it even if I can’t win,” said Teacher Chris.
Vincent shook his head and looked at Teacher Chris with a determined gaze.
“Teacher Chris, you go second. Be my backup and protect the others at the same time.”
“But your level…”
Teacher Chris thought about how she was a high-level superpowered user, and how her combat experience was much better than Vincent’s. She could at least react to unexpected situations.
Although Vincent was very strong, and she might not be a match for him in a one-on-one fight, he was still only an intermediate-level superpowered user.
Vincent smiled faintly. “Teacher Chris, you don’t have to worry about me. Compared to me, a pathfinder, your mission is more important,” said Vincent whilst looking at the others.
The others felt uncomfortable when Vincent looked at them. Their self-esteems were hurting, but they did not say anything.
They knew that they did not have an advantage in scouting compared to Vincent.
Teacher Chris thought about it. She knew that Vincent was right. She could only nod and agree.
“You must pay attention to your safety,” said Teacher Chris with a face full of worry. She could not help but exhort.
Vincent’s face was full of confidence. He nodded and walked into the dimensional portal.
There was no danger on the other side of the dimensional portal. This made Vincent feel much more at ease.
However, the surrounding environment was not good. The air was a little thin and it was not easy to breathe. Although there was no snow around, the temperature was still quite low. Even with Vincent’s strength, he still felt a chill in his summer clothes.
After observing the surroundings, it could be deduced that they were at least 800 meters above sea level.
The trees were lush, but they appeared to be abnormally black and green. There were also large patches of reddish-brown blood stains on the rocks not very far away. There was layer upon layer of blood, and they all vary in depth.
This was proof that they were in a place where battles usually take place. It could also be deduced that the number of monsters in the area must be very large in size.
The second person who walked out was Teacher Chris. She was blown away by the cold wind. She could not help but shiver. Her expression became very serious after looking at the surrounding environment.
“We should be in the depths of the wilderness now. Just by looking at the surrounding environment, there are probably no cities within a few million kilometers radius,” said Teacher Chris.
Teacher Chris took a jacket from her space belt and wore it.
Vincent nodded affirmatively.
“Looks like we’re not in a good place. We may be in the territory of a large group of unknown monsters,” said Vincent.
The others walked out of the dimensional portal one after another. Angelina was the last to walk out. The dimensional portal became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.
“Where are we?” asked Angelina.
Angelina looked around in confusion.
Vincent shook his head. “I’m not sure, everyone. From now on, we have to be extremely alert. We don’t have any assistance, we only have ourselves. I hope that when the mission is over, the seven of us will return to Quinn together!” said Vincent.
Everyone had mentally prepared themselves for what they would face next. They all nodded solemnly after hearing what Vincent had said.
“Let’s go!”
Vincent waved his hand and led everyone to the southwest.
There were not many traces of monsters there. It seemed safer.
However, less than ten minutes later, something changed!
