Backpacks hit the dirt. Dozens of students scattered in all directions, some sprinting downhill, others diving into bushes like frightened squirrels.
The instructors roared.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARDS!"
"YOU DROP THAT BAG, YOU FAIL!"
"THE BULLETS ARE RUBBER, NOT CURSED! KEEP MOVING!"
In the midst of chaos, only six first years stood their ground.
Ji Chen's wind mana flared as he conjured gusts to deflect the incoming shots. His figure blurred as he dashed uphill like a leaf dancing on a storm. To him who was from the Ji Clan, this sort of training was nothing.
Jennifer Aquafrost's expression was calm and cold. She summoned icy barriers that bloomed like lotus petals around her which intercepted the rubber bullets with effortless grace.
Zhao Rui roared like a beast, his fire mana erupting to create waves of heat distortion. The air around him shimmered violently, causing the bullets to veer just enough to graze instead of strike.
Fatty screamed.
