Chapter 389: 389: Fuck!
As Voli lifted his massive paw, hundreds of lights illuminated the sky above, casting an ethereal glow upon the scene below. The students watched in awe as an icy storm enveloped Voli, crackling with power and forcing them to retreat to a safe distance. Only Caleb, with his resilient body, stood unfazed amidst the freezing tempest.
With a deafening roar, bolts of lightning streaked down from the heavens, striking the blue-skinned orc with unerring precision. The electrifying force surged through the creature's body, convulsing it in agony until finally, with a final, sizzling burst, the orc fell lifeless to the ground.
As the students processed the astonishing display of power they had just witnessed, their voices buzzed with excitement and disbelief.
"Did you see that? Voli just took down that orc with a single strike!" one student exclaimed, their eyes wide with wonder. "I never knew he had such incredible lightning abilities!"
Another student nodded in agreement, still reeling from the shock of witnessing the one-shot kill. "I've heard of beasts with elemental powers, but I never imagined it could be so devastating," they remarked, their voice tinged with awe.
However, as they marveled at Voli's incredible strength, a sense of trepidation washed over them at the sight of the dangerous icy storm that surrounded him.
"That storm is no joke," one student observed, their voice tinged with concern. "We need to keep our distance until it dissipates."
Meanwhile, amidst the flurry of excitement and speculation, one question weighed heavily on everyone's minds: how had Caleb acquired such a powerful and enigmatic creature?
"I've heard rumors about Caleb's tamed beast, but I never imagined it could be this strong," one student mused, their brow furrowed in thought. "Where did he even find a creature like that?"
The atmosphere was tense as the students grappled with the aftermath of the intense battle. Around them, the forest of Grinning Orcas loomed ominously, its twisted trees casting eerie shadows in the fading light of day. Despite the temporary reprieve provided by Voli's lightning strike, a sense of unease lingered in the air, reminding them of the perilous situation they found themselves in.
Caleb stood at the forefront, his gaze fixed on Voli with a mixture of admiration and concern. While he was grateful for his loyal companion's formidable strength, he couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility weighing heavily on his shoulders. As the one who had brought Voli into their midst, he felt a deep sense of duty to ensure the safety of his classmates and teacher.
"We need to keep moving," Erina nnounced, her voice cutting through the uneasy silence. "We can't afford to stay here any longer."
Her words spurred the others into action, and they quickly set to work, helping each other up and assessing their injuries. Markus's death hung heavy on their hearts, a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked in the forest.
"We should stick together," Mei suggested, her voice tinged with urgency. "There's safety in numbers, and we need to watch each other's backs."
Fatty nodded in agreement, knowing that their best chance of survival lay in unity. With Voli leading the way, they set off deeper into the forest, their senses alert for any signs of danger.
As they navigated through the dense undergrowth, the students couldn't help but marvel at the strange and twisted landscape around them. The trees seemed to leer menacingly overhead, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers in the dim light.
"It's like something out of a nightmare," one student muttered, casting a wary glance at the surrounding foliage.
Their journey was fraught with peril, as they encountered various hazards along the way. From treacherous ravines to hidden traps, each step brought them closer to danger. Yet, despite the numerous challenges they faced, the students pressed on with determination, fueled by the hope of reaching safety.
Hours passed, and exhaustion began to weigh heavily on their weary bodies. The adrenaline that had fueled them through the initial chaos had long since faded, leaving behind a bone-deep weariness that seemed to seep into their very souls.
"We need to find shelter," Caleb declared, his voice strained with fatigue. "We can't keep going like this."
His words resonated with the others, and they nodded in weary agreement. With Voli leading the way, they forged ahead, their eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of refuge.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they stumbled upon a small clearing nestled amidst the trees. With a collective sigh of relief, they collapsed onto the soft forest floor, grateful for the chance to rest their weary limbs.

As Caleb stepped into the bustling streets of Manila, the vibrant energy of the city enveloped him, infusing him with a sense of anticipation. Towering skyscrapers stretched towards the heavens, their gleaming facades a testament to the city's modernity and ambition.
"The Heathens Arena," Caleb mused, his eyes alight with excitement as he gazed upon the imposing structure before him. "A symbol of strength and prowess, where warriors from far and wide come to test their mettle."
Heathens Arena stood as a towering colossus in the heart of Manila, its massive dome looming over the surrounding skyline like a beacon of power and prestige. For generations, it had played host to some of the most legendary battles in the history of the Philippines, earning a reputation as the premier venue for combat and competition.
"Legends have been forged within those walls," Caleb continued, his voice filled with reverence. "From the greatest martial artists to the fiercest warriors, they have all left their mark on the arena's hallowed grounds."
As Caleb spoke, his classmates listened intently, their eyes wide with awe at the sight before them. The sheer magnitude of Heathens Arena was enough to inspire a sense of wonder in even the most jaded of souls.
"The design is incredible," one student remarked, his voice tinged with admiration. "It's like something out of a futuristic sci-fi movie."
Indeed, the sleek lines and imposing architecture of Heathens Arena were a sight to behold, a blend of modernity and tradition that spoke to the city's rich cultural heritage. From its towering spires to its gleaming facade, every inch of the arena exuded an air of majesty and authority.
As they made their way towards the entrance, Caleb couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through his veins. The Elite Trial awaited them within those hallowed halls, a chance to prove themselves on the grandest stage of them all.
