Despite the minor incident involving Bunier, Harold and his companions still gained a great deal from this trip overall.
The 500 points gained from killing a single dragon are enough to put them at the top of the rankings, not to mention the inestimable value of a level 4 dragon corpse.
Sarah and the others led the two to a secluded cave to rest. Harold and Hellogas quickly fell into a deep sleep, while Sarah and Catherine continued to deal with the dragon's corpse.
Simply putting them into the spatial equipment is definitely not the best choice. Many things inside need special treatment methods to preserve them, especially the dragon tendons and dragon pearls that are said to be the most precious on the dragon. They don't even know how to deal with them and can only ask their teachers at school for help when they get back.
When Harold and Houndoom finally woke up, a day and a night had passed. Their injuries were not light, but fortunately they were all superficial wounds and had not actually damaged their internal organs. With the help of the dragon's blood, they recovered quickly.
"Is this... dragon meat?" Harold asked, sniffing the mouthful of meat still warming by the fire.
"Awake? Eat up! Dragon meat! They grilled it for you, and they're very good at it!" Churchill, who was on night watch, said excitedly when he saw the two of them wake up.
Although we already know from the two women that they are alright, it is still worrying that they have been unconscious and unable to wake up.
"The ingredients are good, but the cooking skills are nowhere near as good as mine!" Harold took a bite, eating with relish, and didn't forget to complain.
"Don't let them hear you say that. Actually, I think it's quite delicious!" Heluga muttered, glancing at the two sleeping women in the cave.
Hearing this, Harold shrugged helplessly. "Whatever makes you happy."
"What time is it now? How long have we been asleep?" Harold asked Churchill after taking several large bites of dragon meat.
“You have slept for a day and a night, and now there are only two days left until the end of the trial!” Churchill said.
"Not bad, we should have enough points to get a good ranking. Let's make as many points as we can in the remaining time!" Harold nodded and said. In two days and one night, unless we continue to complete some tasks, simply relying on killing monsters will not make a big difference in our points.
Moreover, at this point, there are no more tasks left for them in the mountains. The only way to obtain a large number of points is perhaps to defeat other students and steal them from them.
“By the way, tomorrow you go and scout out Bunir’s location. Let’s try to take him down before we get back to avenge yesterday and also to accumulate some points for us. I think he must have a lot of points!” Harold thought for a moment and said again. He still vividly remembered Bunir calling him a bastard. Werewolves are always a vengeful race.
“Alright, I’ll go back to the valley tomorrow and take a look. I should be able to find some traces of them. But there are quite a few of them. Can we really handle them?” Churchill nodded and asked with a hint of worry.
"Tch~~ How many people could he have? Yesterday, most of those people were probably after the dragon, trying to get a share of the spoils. Besides, we don't need to worry about the others. Let's concentrate our firepower on taking out Bunir and then run!" Harold scoffed, his tone full of disdain for Bunir.
“That seems to make sense!” Black Lugia nodded, agreeing with Harold’s approach. The Lugia tribe was never afraid of war.
After dinner, Houndoom went back to sleep. Harold and Churchill took turns keeping watch for the rest of the night. Werewolves are always energetic at night, especially when facing the moonlight.
The next morning, everyone woke up one after another and were overjoyed to see Harold and Houndoom recovered.
"Come on, young man! Drink this bowl of medicine! You'll get better soon!" Catherine handed Harold a bowl of dark, murky medicine and urged him to drink it.
Upon seeing the bowl of medicinal soup, Harold felt as if his forehead was being slapped. Would drinking this really be harmless?
"Drink it! The conditions are limited, so it may look a bit ugly and taste a bit bad, but the effect is very good. We put a lot of dragon blood in it to balance it out!" Seeing the two's predicament, Sarah, who was also holding a bowl of medicine, handed it to Black Luluga and said with a light laugh.
Not counting the dragon blood, the rare ingredients in this bowl of medicine alone are worth more than a dozen gold coins. Sarah and Catherine have really gone to great lengths to help the two of them recover.
Upon hearing Sarah's words, Harold and Hruga no longer hesitated, picked up their bowls of medicine and gulped it down without even flinching... They didn't flinch before drinking the medicine, but after finishing it, they both shivered. An indescribable taste filled their mouths, truly beyond words.
"Let's rest here for a day! Churchill has already gone out to find Bunier's location. Tomorrow we'll take him out and get some more points for us! Let's try to improve our ranking!" After drinking two bowls of water, Harold felt better and spoke up.
"Hmph! Well done! They actually tried to take our dragon yesterday. This princess will definitely teach them a lesson!" Catherine said, clenching her fist.
"Speaking of which, what should we do with our points? Should we split them equally or give them all to one person?" Sarah suddenly asked, looking at everyone. All the points were currently in her hands. Including the dragon they killed yesterday, they now had more than 700 points. With that many points, securing a good ranking would definitely not be a problem. Unfortunately, there were five of them, and they couldn't let the others all have zero points, could they?
“No rush, let’s take down Bunir tomorrow. Then we’ll each take 100 points and go out. We’ll leave the rest with you, Sarah, to help us improve our ranking. We can transfer our points to you later if necessary!” Harold said after thinking for a moment.
“That makes sense. Given Bunir’s personality, he must have secretly accumulated a lot of points. Once we take care of him and his gang, we can easily break through a thousand points. Then we can focus our efforts on one person and definitely get a good ranking!” Heruka nodded and said, already considering Bunir’s points as his own.
"You two really are something!" Sarah shook her head with a wry smile, ignoring the two of them. As a result, the bowls from which the two drank their medicine were washed, while Catherine was still chatting with them enthusiastically, almost as if she wanted to bring Bunir to everyone and give him a good scolding.
In the evening, Churchill finally returned, travel-worn and bearing some injuries from a fight with other students along the way. However, he had finally received news of Bunier and could set off early the next morning.
