Heavenly Saga

Chapter 194: Treasure Hunting



Before the Treasure Hunt event began, Kraftvoll and the other students of the 210th class decided to hold a class meeting. In this meeting, they only discussed the main point of their plans. The purpose of this meeting was to only remind them of the vital parts of their strategy.

A minute before the Treasure Hunt event started, a resounding voice was heard in Mt. Verrater's vicinity. It was the voice of the emcee speaking using his sound-amplifying seishin device at a higher level than before.

The emcee announced, "Get ready, students of the Verrater Academy! All of you need to enter the mountain after I give a signal! Find and solve as many puzzles as you can. The class with the most treasure to find will be given a special prize!"

Kraftvoll looked at her classmates after hearing the announcement. "Let's go, everyone!" he said.

After saying those words, Kraftvoll decided to start running toward the outside of their base camp. When they saw the move of their president, all of the other students of the 210th class followed him after him without a moment of hesitation.

Before the signal was given, all of the students of the 210th class went to the position they were given to them during their class meeting. After their formation was completed, Kraftvoll commanded his class, "Scouts, get ready. As soon as the master of the ceremony gave his cue, all of must start what you need to do."

All of the 210th class' scouts started chanting a seishin spell to enhance their speed and mobility. Green seishin essences started to gather around most of the scouts of the 210th class. While some of the scouts conjure light seishin spells to do the same thing.

A moment later, the emcee's voice resounded again which said, "It's time! Students of Verrater Academy, you may start hunting treasure in 3... 2... 1... Start now!"

Kraftvoll gave his command right after hearing the cue of the masters of the ceremony, "Scouts, go!"

Godwin and their other scout classmates went on their separate way to go ahead to the Mt. Verrater to recon.

After all of their scouts went on their way, Kraftvoll decided to face all of his remaining classmates. He shouted to them, "Let's go, everyone! Let's go on our way to the upper parts of the mountain. We can move on while we are waiting for one of the scouts to find a puzzle for us to solve."

After hearing their class president's command, all of the students of the 210th class decided to go up the Mt. Verrater Academy with Kraftvoll leading. After a few minutes of walking upward the mountain, one of the scouts of their class came back with some news.

It was Theomund, one of Kraftvoll's classmates with affinity to the wind element, who arrived after scouting the mountain. As soon as he saw their class' president, he reported, "I found something, President!"

After hearing Theomund's report, Kraftvoll nodded in response. A moment later, he immediately glanced toward Arnavor, one of Kraftvoll's elven classmates in the 210th class.

As soon as he saw his president's cue, Arnavor immediately nodded to him because he understood what their president wanted him to do.

After realizing what Kraftvoll wanted, Arnavor started chanting a seishin spell without a moment of hesitation. Red seishin essences started to gather around him when he started chanting.

In the middle of his chants, those red seishin essences started to transform into slivers of fire one by one. After saying his chants, Arnavor was able to conjure a ball of fire which he launched above the sky.

After all of the scouts of their class saw these balls of fire, it served like a flair. It was a signal for them to go to their classmates. After the scouts saw the flair, they immediately went on their way to their classmates.

After a few minutes, all of the scouts were able to return to the side of Kraftvoll and the others. After the whole class reunited, Theomund immediately directed all of his classmates to the place where he found something.

After reaching that place, all of them saw some writings that were carved in a tree. As soon as he reached it, Kraftvoll decided to read the words loudly.

He shouted, "A treasure can be found somewhere in this area. Search every nook of the surroundings. Don't leave any stone unturned!"

Prince Aragorn went to Kraftvoll's side after he finished reading what was written. The elven prince said to his sworn brother, "First Brother, it looks like we just need to search this area thoroughly. Let's divide the class into groups so that we can divide the area."

Kraftvoll nodded in agreement with his Vice-President's proposal. He immediately gave his command to his classmates which they did without a form of complaint or whatsoever. All of them understood that it was pretty much the best action to do in this puzzle

After receiving their clear command, all of the students of the 210th class started to search as hard as they can. Like what their president had read in the text, they searched every nook that they can find in the surroundings.

After a few dozens of minutes of searching, one of them was able to find something. It was Aredhel who shouted, "Here it is!"

After the 210th class heard their classmate, all of them immediately stopped looking because they don't have to anymore. A moment later, all of them decided to go to Aredhel's side to see what she had found.

After turning a big rock around, Aredhel was able to found an X mark in the ground. Without hesitating for a moment, she immediately reported it to her teammates as soon as she saw it.

When Kraftvoll and the elven prince checked the ground where the X mark engraved, they realized that it was hardened. That's why they couldn't dig it out so they started thinking of a plan.
