?Chapter 202:


    As we talked, the bell for the start of the assessment rang out, and the gates of the hunting grounds slowly creaked open.


    We were led to our designated areas by the servants, the promise of the hunt ahead filling the air with anticipation.


    I was guided to my designated area, a dense forest both deep and unpredictable. The trees were packed closely together, and only a few beams of sunlight managed to pierce through the thick canopy, casting patches of golden light on the forest floor.


    This lush jungle posed a genuine challenge for hunting. Surveying my surroundings, I recalled the hunting techniques we had learned in ss.


    With the sounding of the bell, the hunting officially began.


    I shifted into my wolf form, remaining calm as I navigated through the forest. The woods were eerily silent, save for the whisper of the wind rustling through the treetops. Suddenly, I heard a faint rustling from the nearby bushes.


    Holding my breath, I approached cautiously and soon spotted a small rabbit. I moved even more quietly, inching closer, but the rabbit was highly sensitive and seemed to sense my presence. It turned and started to hop away.


    In a sh, I pounced, catching the rabbit by the neck and securing my prey.


    A promising start!


    Despite my excitement, I kept my guard up. I became more vignt, weaving through the jungle, determined to treat this assessment seriously.


    However, as I continued to search, I found no more prey. Anxiety began to creep in. How could I possibly win with only one rabbit? Surely, there had to be more prey released for the assessment, or how could wepete? While I was deep in thought, I heard rustling from behind arge tree to my left.


    This must be it!

    I arched my back, preparing to pounce. But then, something felt off. The noise didn’t seem to be made by a small animal. A roar erupted behind me, followed by a st of wind striking the back of my head.


    Reacting swiftly, I rolled away, narrowly evading the unknown attacker.


    Turning to face the threat, my breath caught in my throat as I saw a massive brown bear charging at me!


    I was stunned. Weren’t the only prey supposed to be rabbits and deer? How could such a fierce beast be here?


    There was no time to wonder. The brown bear was already charging at me with a fearsome roar. A powerful sense of impending doom swept over me, the foul stench of its breath thick in the air. I dodged quickly, leaping onto a nearby rock. With its size and strength, a single swipe of its paw could be fatal or leave me gravely wounded.


    The bear’s sessive misses only seemed to enrage it further. It roared again, lunging at me with renewed fury. My heart pounded as I watched its massive paw swing toward me. At thest possible moment, I leapt sideways. The rock I had just been standing on shattered under the force of the blow, fragments scattering in every direction.


    Such terrifying power! rm surged through me. Its blood-red eyes gleamed with savage intensity, marking it as no ordinary beast. The bear continued its relentless assault, hungry drool dripping from its jaws, as if it could hardly wait to tear into me.


    Fortunately, my wolf form gave me agility. I used my smaller size to dodge nimbly, weaving through its attacks. But the bear never relented. Each strike came faster, heavier, and more desperate. I knew I couldn’t keep this up forever. My body was already battered and bruised, my strength waning.
