Chapter 115 Roaring Cave (1)
After the theoretical exams were completed, the practical exams began for all the students in the academy, except for the top 100 students who were scheduled to take their practical exams later.
The exams were conducted for all the years in the academy.
The news of only the practical exams for the top 100 students at the academy at dawn City made people feel suspicious, although they couldn\'t quite figure out what was unusual about it.
On the third day, after the theoretical exams had ended, as per the announcement professors departed from to academy to go to \'Roaring Cave\'.
many students chose to leave with the professors as they could save on travel and accommodation expenses and feel secure in the company of the professors.
Ken and his group also decided to go with the professors as they felt it was better than going by themselves.
So the students and professors left the academy in Neuron Cruiser (Airship).
The Neuron Cruiser was a massive airship that floated through the sky with graceful ease. Its outer hull was made of a lightweight, yet incredibly strong material that allowed it to withstand the rigors of flying through all kinds of weather conditions.
The ship was powered by a complex system of magical crystals and advanced technology that allowed it to stay aloft for long periods.
Inside the Neuron Cruiser, there were many accommodation services available to passengers. The ship was essentially a floating hotel, with luxurious rooms and suites that offer all the comforts of home. Each room was equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing passengers to stay connected to the outside world even when they are high up in the clouds.
There are also many recreational facilities onboard the Neuron Cruiser.
Despite its impressive size and advanced technology, the Neuron Cruiser was also environmentally friendly. It ran on clean energy, and its waste management systems were state-of-the-art, ensuring that it left no trace behind as it floated through the sky.
Even if it was past midnight, most of the students were awake.
In one of the rooms, Ken and his group were chatting together.
As they chatted excitedly in their room, the Neuron Cruiser continued to glide smoothly through the sky. The ship\'s advanced navigation system ensured that it stayed on course, even as it encountered turbulent winds and unexpected weather patterns.
As Ken looked out of the window, the students could see the vast expanse of the starry sky stretching out before him. The clouds rolled by in fluffy waves.
"Looks beautiful, right?" Eva said in a charming voice. She was also watching the night scenery.
Hearing this Ken came out of his thoughts and nodded his head.
"Hey, you two. We are going for the practical exam, not for a picnic. So come here." Simon sternly said.
Hearing this, Eva chuckled while Ken shrugged his shoulders and came near the group.
All of them sat beside the round table.
"So let me start the meeting..." Just when Simon was going to start the meeting, Noah interrupted him.
"Wait! Who died and made you the leader?" He asked and said with a smug look, "Neither you are the strongest nor the smartest."
Apparently, in the theoretical exams at this time. Simon came on 50th rank. It was a good process. However, Daphne came in the 48th rank and Noah came in the 45th rank.
Simon was fuming with anger that day. All of his happiness for being in the top 50 turned into Ash by the fire of his anger.
After hearing Noah\'s words, Simon couldn\'t refute him. So he just sat on the chair.
As soon as he sat, everyone stared at Ken with expectations. Looking at that stare, Ken just tilted his head. Soon he guessed that they asking him to become the leader of the meeting.
Then Ken stood up.
"Ahem... So we are going to the \'Roaring Cave\'. Let\'s revise the details we have for the \'Roaring Cave\' again." He said politely.
Upon hearing this, everyone started operating their smartwatch and opened the information they had about \'Roaring Cave\'.
It was written there,
"[Roaring Cave] is a High D grade dungeon.
It\'s quite far from Dawn City. The nearest city to this dungeon is Karoon City.
This dungeon is located inside a cave with a lot of echoing and reverberating sounds, possibly due to underground streams or waterfalls.
However, it isn\'t completely explored so there might be a possibility that the rank given in this dungeon might be wrong. Still, there is a very low possibility of that.
The dungeon has a lot of narrow passageways and rocky terrain, with various levels of difficulty and challenges for adventurers. As many times sounds like someone\'s roar came inside the dungeon it\'s called \'Roaring Cave\'.
[Turn the page for more details.]
In a few moments, everyone read all details about the dungeon. Like what kind of atmosphere there is, what kind of monster habitat there is, how long that dungeon is, how much it\'s exploring, and many more.
"Everyone done?" Ken asked everyone.
In response, everyone in the room nodded their head.
"But what about that roaring sound? We don\'t anything about that." James commented. He was curious about that.
"It\'s mentioned in the report there is a waterfall near the cave. So of course, that sound will come from there." Amy said with a smug look.
"There is also a chance there it\'s because of
the movement of air within the cave. Caves often have openings or "chimneys" that allow air to circulate, and changes in temperature or atmospheric pressure can cause air to flow in and out of the cave, producing a roaring or whistling sound." Simon explained.
"What if it\'s the sound of some huge monster?" Daphne said in low voice.
Hearing this, everyone stared at her and laughed.
"There is no way, something like that happens. Otherwise, the academy won\'t take us there." Noah reasoned while laughing.
"Still we should be cautious. There may be some danger in the cave." Ben warned in a serious tone.
"Yeah." Ken also agreed.
"By the way, Ken. Did you get any information about that mysterious bigshot?" James asked while whispering to Ken.
"No, however many people came to ask me this," Ken said with a troubled look. After that auction, many people came to ask him about that mysterious bigshot.
Somehow even photos of when Ken and that mysterious bigshot shook hands got posted in the academy forum.
Ken was truly troubled by this.
However, he didn\'t know that trouble was still finding his way.
After that, they started discussing different strategies, team formation, and survival information.
As they talked, sun rays started coming from the window. So everyone returned to their team to prepare for the practical exam.
As the ship approached the dungeon where their practical exam would be held, the students gathered their gear and prepared for their descent. They knew that the dungeon was notorious for being treacherous and filled with all manner of magical creatures and traps, but they were determined to pass their exam with flying colors.
Soon their practical exam was going to start.

[On the unknown Island]
"Hey, system. Suppose someone important in the plot died unexpectedly. What would happen?" Rain asked.
[Nothing would happen to you.]
"Is that so?" Rain tilted his head.
He started thinking about something else then.
"What if I save them indirectly?" Rain again asked.
[Still, nothing would happen to you.]
"Hmm. What if I steal the chance of the protagonist?" This time, Rain asked with a mischievous smile.
[Host. As I said, nothing would happen to you.]
Hearing this, Rain smirked.
