Today is the fourth day of the test. All the teams have been able to build a good relationship with the Demonic Forest. Everyone was able to hunt all the Demonic Beasts in the first zone very easily. Although the first zone is large, it is not that big compared to the other zones. And not many Demonic Beasts live in this zone. So everyone's destination is towards the second zone. Hunting Demonic Beasts is like an addiction. Which is very popular with the Nobles. Once you kill a weak Demonic Beast, it becomes very difficult to break this addiction. Similarly, the Nobles of each team are trying to find the Demonic Beast. The conversation of the Noble children is like this,
-->>Before going to the second zone, we should kill all the beasts in the first zone.
-->>The commoners were just brought with us. I don't understand how the academy keeps us together with them.
-->>I don't know why all the commoners tremble with fear at the sight of demonic beasts. They were admitted to the academy.
-->>I won't let even a demonic beast kill them.
-->>I miss that boy who unlocked the lightning and fire attributes. Even though he's a commoner, he'll still be a good match for me.
Most of the Noble boys and girls of all teams are against the commoners. They can't see the commoners. One of the two reasons for looking down on the commoners is that they are weak and the other is that they are worthless. However, if a commoner has one of these two reasons, then he has no lack of respect in society. An example of which is the commoner's son who unlocked two powerful attributes this time.
There is more or less a disparity between Nobles and Commoners in all teams. There is only one team where no one cares about Commoners or Nobles. The Leader Chain team. In this team, only Alex is a Commoner. All the rest are Nobles. One is the Duke's daughter. Although Duface and Zeab boast about their powers, they also don't say anything about Alex's identity. Basically, this is the most balanced team out of the ten teams.

Today is the fourth day, while everyone else is heading towards the second zone, the chain's team is busy collecting food. From fruits from trees to fish from the river, the entire team is collecting everything they can find, on the chain's orders.
-->>Do we need to collect food now? The food provided by the academy is not over yet.
Duface started talking annoyed. Duface, Alex, Zeab, Myra and Snira came to collect the fruit. Since no one except Alex could climb the tree, everyone stood down and collected the fruit that Alex had given them from the tree. The rest of the team was trying to catch fish in the river. Duface got very annoyed and threw the four or five apples he had in his hand on the ground.
-->>The rest of the team is already going to the second zone before us. And we are wasting our time here. We could have collected food by going to the second zone.
Duface started talking angrily again. Snira and Zeyab also agreed with his words. They also felt annoyed at wasting time like this. However, Myra started to answer,
-->>We are not using our heads here. I think our leader's decision is correct.
-->>But this will make us fall behind the rest. (Duface's response)
-->>We have been given seven days' food from the academy. If we think a little, we will understand why it has been given. The journey from the first zone to the second zone takes a total of seven days. And the food arrangement is also for seven days. Many people would think that when the seven days' food is over, they will collect it from the second zone. (Myra)
Myra gave a very simple explanation. Suddenly, Snira said,
-->>It would have been better if you did that. (Snira)
-->>But we are making a mistake in one place. According to the Hunters, all the food in the first zone is safe except for demonic beasts. But from the second zone, that completely changes. Most of the food in the second zone is not pure. Which can even kill us if we eat it.
Everyone fell silent after hearing Moira's words. Everyone swallowed their throats and focused on collecting the fruit again. Alex couldn't hear them because he was on the tree. He was throwing the apples down without any thought. Here, he could use his skills to get the apples off the entire tree if he wanted. But Alex didn't want to show off his power in front of everyone.
"All my skills come from this Ring of Beelzebub. Since it is also a magical item, I don't want to let anyone know that I have a powerful magical item."
Alex exhaled a little and got busy picking apples again. On the other hand, Chain, Eba, Mio and Luba were busy fishing on the river bank. No matter how good a leader Chain is, he has one weakness, that is Luba. He has liked Luba for five years. But he still doesn't have the courage to say it. When he finds out that Liba will be on his team in this test, he is happy to see who it is. Originally, Duface and Zeab were supposed to go fishing. But Chain sent them to bring fruit to impress Luba. The distance between the two parts is not much. There is a small canal on the bank of which Chain is fishing and the other three are collecting the fish from the edge. There are several fruit trees beside the canal where Alex and the others are collecting the fruit. So they are apparently not afraid of the demonic beast. Chain is standing knee-deep in the water. The whole thing is clearly visible because of the small white stones at the bottom. Chain is trying to catch big fish every time he looks at them. But he hasn't caught any big fish yet.
-->>At least bring a big fish to my hand. Luba is looking at me. I can't show my weakness. And besides, there are two other girls who are looking at me. I have to catch a big fish. (Chain said this very slowly)
Chain was looking at the fish. A huge fish. That was ready to be caught in his hand. He would jump in but then,
"Jump"
There was a sound like an elephant splashing in the water. Chain's eyes moved from the fish to the sound. When he looked at the fish again, he couldn't see it anymore.
"I can't be a hero anymore."
Chain thought to himself. He made an annoyed face and said to Doofus,
-->>I couldn't catch a big fish for you.
-->>I'm sorry, but it wasn't my fault. Alex touched a beehive while picking fruit. I was down and some of the bee honey fell on my head. And that's it, I had to run.
The bees of this forest are not ordinary bees. The bees will attack only those whose bodies have the scent of honey from these bees. Duface did not know this. However, whenever Myra tells him something, Duface, seeing no other way, jumps straight into the water. He likes his beautiful skin very much. He does not want it to get fatter because of the caress of any bee.
-->>What happened to Alex?(Mio)
Mio asked from the edge, and in response to his answer, Doofus said,
-->>I didn't see him because he was up in the tree. Since he reached out, I think something happened. It seems like there's something behind me.
Doofus was sitting on something. It was making him squirm because he was not holding it. So he tried to catch it with his hand. A large silver fish fell into his hand. He stared at it with a smile. He had been trying to catch this two-foot-sized silver fish for a long time. But seeing it so sadly crushed under Doofus' heavy body made him want to commit suicide. Even then, he suddenly forgot to look for Alex. His eyes fell on the silver fish. Because Doofus was still sitting on it. Once he got up, he wouldn't be able to catch it with his own strength. So he also came forward to help Doofus.
On the other hand, Alex touched the bee's tea. Not unknowingly, actually. He touched it intentionally. He was very tempted to eat honey. In his world, honey is a very tempting drink. The temptation of which no one can tolerate. But after a few drops of honey fell down, Duface ran and jumped into the water like an elephant. Alex also jumped from the tree in fear. Because the bees were trying to attack him. He could not decide where to fall from above. Zeab moved down after hearing the bees. Only Myra and Snira were looking at Alex above, trying to see if he was okay. Alex fell directly on Snira and Myra before they moved away. Myra and Snira could not see Alex's sudden arrival well. So they could not do anything.
"Dhapas"
There was a sound. Snira and Myra both fell down. Alex was lying face down. However, Snira and Myra were unable to move at the last moment, so they tried to catch Alex. This made the pain of the three of them a little less. Alex hung a little, not understanding what had happened. It was not normal for two girls to make a bed and lie face down. So his brain stopped working for a while.
-->>Uhm.
Alex regained consciousness at the sound of Myra's cough and stood up in shame. He lowered his head in shame. The other two also remained silent in shame. At that moment, Snira began to use her healing spell.
-->>"Heel"
The spells of Prana energy users are very different from those of Mana energy users. And besides, Snira is a very talented noble daughter. So all the minor pains and wounds on the three of them's bodies disappeared immediately.
