Chapter 345
Chapter 345: Appearance of the enemy.
The students were only meant to pass 3 exercises with a minimum of 5 points in each exercise. Meaning they needed a minimum of 15 points to not get sent back to the magic school, but he had doubled the pass mark.
“That makes a lot of sense.” Principal Lovren said and Zirrack nodded in agreement.
This action caused Professor Gibson and Major Briggs to look at each other in surprise. Zirrack’s inaction was well expected, but not that of Principal Lovren. He was meant to complain that Major Reeves had taken away the eliminated teams’ opportunity to pass.
“Why are both of you surprised?” Principal Lovren said to the Major and Professor without turning. “This beast tide isn’t just like other ones and to make matters worse, they were at the southern wall meaning their lives were more endangered.”
The pass mark for the exercises on the walls was set by the royal family, but if things were left in the hands of Principal Lovren. He would have raised the pass mark from 15 to 40 points.
“So which would you want students dying because something unexpected happened and no one including themselves could do anything to save their lives or should they be sent back to the school to prevent something like this from happening?” Principal Lovren asked but they all knew what their answers were.
Normally they would have refuted this claim with the notion that the students needed to take some risks. The problem here was that this was no ordinary beast tide. There were too many signs that this would b

“Is that all he did?” Knowing Major Reeves, Principal Lovren already knew what the answer was. He was just gesturing for Professor Gibson to continue with his report.
“He had sent the teams out even though he knew that the main event had begun. Then he ended up charging them 5k exchange points to save them.” Professor Gibson said.
“He learned well from you.” Principal Lovren chuckled.
The reason every student at the southern wall suspected Major Reeves to be related to Instructor Zirrack was that their actions and inactions were too similar.
They had no idea that back when Major Reeves was still an adventurer, he had been Zirrack’s disciple. He had taught him how to fight and the secrets of the earth element, but even during and after the training Zirrack had never agreed to go on a commission with him.
Knowing that Zirrack was and always be a lone wolf, Reeves accepted a recruitment offer from the ash corps. With his numerous achievements as a top-tier B-rank adventurer, he was instantly promoted to the commander rank, marking the start of his military career.
...
The next day at the southern gate, all the powerhouses alongside their family members had reported to their assigned positions.
The leader of the Ulrik family, Brock, and his family demigods were the first to arrive at the southern gate. Followed by the best beast tamer in the city, Oliver Nystrom alongside demigods from the Nystrom.
Brock and Oliver were the highest-ranking member of the Ulrik family and a crucial part of defending against the beast tide respectively. So as the other members of their respective families joined those outside the wall, their position was on the wall.
At the moment Major Reeves wasn’t on the wall, so Brock had decided to go and meet him at the underground section of the wall. This left only Oliver alone, but not for too long.
After barely 30 minutes of the Nystrom family’s arrival, the Karius family which was being led by Xavier Karius had arrived.
“Look we have here.” Oliver Nystrom who had been waiting close to the stairs for almost half an hour said as Xavier Karius climbed up the stairs.
The first son of the Karius family leader who was in his late twenties stood 6’2 feet (1.87 meters) tall. He had chocolate brown eyes and shoulder-length slick jet black hair that was tied up into a ponytail.
His muscular physique was covered by the Karius family’s signature white and light blue embroidered overflowing robe that seemed to emphasize his indifferent expression.
“I heard that your family’s incompetent defense systems caused the theft of the master seal and you sustained serious injuries.” Oliver Nystrom said in a condescending tone as a smirk was plastered on his face.
“Well, I have expected nothing more from such a shameless family. That is why it didn’t even take a heartbeat for your incompetent family to accuse me.” Oliver had a disappointed look on his face, but deep down was an evil grin as he saw Xavier’s indifferent expression slowly changing to anger.
“That would be enough. We have important things to be doing.” Major Reeves and Ulrik family leader Brock appeared just in time to stop Oliver from firing shots related to Serhan’s poor performance and Xavier from doing something stupid.
Although Oliver’s words sounded like insults to the Karius family they were nothing but facts. There was no nicer way to put it other than calling it incompetence, because the attack had happened right at the heart of the Karius estate, and Xander was still not caught.
As for calling them shameless, that was what it seemed to be because the ash corps hadn’t found any incriminating evidence against Oliver.
Knowing that going against Major Reeves’s order would make Oliver the victor in this short encounter, Xavier decided to grit his teeth and follow the others to the center of the wall where they saw Colonel Darius.
Colonel Darius stood 6.1 feet (1.85 meters) tall and was in a half-black cloak with red seams at both halves forming the ash corps’ insignia at the center. He looked like he was in his early forties and had a heart-shaped face with perfectly trimmed sideburns and a pointed nose.
“You guys came just in time.” Colonel Darius said to the group.
