The five cadets had brought Nero another 600 points.
His total score had climbed close to 2,000, placing him even further ahead of the other participants.
After checking the changes on his bracelet, Nero returned to his resting place and finished his wine. The battle had been a pleasant diversion, and the rewards were more than satisfactory.
Originally, he hadn't planned on hunting other cadets.
There were plenty of monsters in the trial grounds, and fighting them offered sufficient opportunities to practice his newly acquired Laws. Compared to dealing with other participants, hunting monsters was straightforward. They attacked, he fought back, and the stronger ones provided worthwhile challenges.
There was no need to complicate things.
However, after experiencing the ambush, Nero had changed his mind.
The five cadets had worked together, prepared a plan, and even used a horde of monsters to exhaust him before making their move.
And yet, they had fallen one after another.
