After some time passed, the driver opened the front gate and went out.
Rio saw the door beside Nyla's open and the driver's voice sounded, "We have reached our destination. Both of you can go out now."
The magenta-haired beauty turned to the boy, she said, "Let's go."
As he stepped out of the car, he discovered they were standing on a massive ship that was in the waters, descending stairs leading to the ground which landed on the island they were supposed to go.
There weren't other students or anyone on the ship except the driver which cleared the fact that every team was transported to the different sides of the island to not begin any conflict from the start and avoid teaming up with the same school.
A soft hand grabbed his palm and fingers interlocked, he knew it was Nyla who pulled him along as they made their way out the deck of the ship and down the gangplank.
A strong gust of wind hit them, and their hair fluttered in the breeze, Rio could smell the salty air and feel the warm sun on his face that was gleaming in the blue sky.
Their vision welcomed a long extended beach that was lined with palm trees and colorful flowers.
In the distance, a lush green forest could be seen, covering most of the interior of the island that was visible from their location.
They knew the AI-made beasts were lurking for this tournament, and the island was filled with them, from the purple-stage beasts to the powerful black-stage beasts.
Nyla and Rio landed on the ground as their foot trudged over the soft sand, going in the direction of the forest.
The boy halted his footsteps to look back, the ship was leaving the island as it finished the task of transporting the students.
Nyla also gazed at the leaving ship, with a vibrant smile she said, "Now it's up to us when we want to return. We have thirty days to farm points. On the thirtieth day if we don't die or withdraw on our own our given watch will send us out on its own."
"Do you have any plan in mind for where we should go?" He asked.
"Hehe... Nope..." The girl giggled and shook her head.
Rio said, " then Let's just explore the island and kill the AI beast as we advance."
They started leaving the beachside, traveling towards the lush green forest.
Nyla's eyes sparkled with excitement as they walked deeper into the forest.
The trees were towering high above them with big crowns, emitting a soothing shade over the ground below. The leaves susurrus gently in the breeze, and the fresh scent of green leaves filled the air.
"I wish only we were left on this island, Just you and me, then It could be our honeymoon," she said, twirling around with her arms outstretched. "That would be so romantic."
"You want this place filled with AI beasts to be our honeymoon?" Rio shook his head at her enthusiasm.
They continued their journey, carefully watching their surroundings for any signs of danger.
After a while, they saw a wide clearing in the distance, and In the center of the clearing stood a massive tree, its branches stretching toward the sky.
The boy halted his footsteps, and his [Heaven's Eyes] noticed a big hole in the bottle of the tree's trunk.
"What happened, Rio?" Nyla asked as she saw his gaze was fixated in the distance.
He said, "There is a big pit there near the trunk of the tree, we need to be careful.
The magenta-haired beauty scrunched her brows but she nodded.
As they drew closer to the tree, they heard a low growl coming from within the hole. Suddenly, a purple-furred creature leaped out from the pit, its eyes locking on its target.
The creature that emerged from the hole was a gnarly, rat-like beast with purple fur that glistened menacingly in sunlight. Its eyes were a bright red, which seemed to be filled with sentient intelligence. Its long, sharp claws scraped against the ground as it stepped forward, ready to attack the target its eyes locked in.
The boy was surprised to believe it was an AI monster as it was similar to a real beast.
"I know this AI monster. It's a purple-stage beast known as Purple Pit Rat." Nyla confirmed the beast's rank and name.
"I will take it." the boy said as he sprang into action, summoning his silver bloom king sword which was ready to attack.
The rat-like creature leaped towards him, aiming to take his life, but Rio was too quick for it. With a powerful slash, he sliced the creature in half, and it fell to the ground with a thud as if a rag doll.
The black liquid gushed out of its body, and Rio could tell that the creators of this AI beast had made sure to add a substitute for blood to make it appear more realistic.
The boy summoned back his silver-blood sword and noticed his second watch giving him a notification.
<<<<
[Purple stage Purple Pit Rat killed. ten battle points gained.]
>>>>
The boy turned around and saw the girl was looking in his direction with her bright smile.
He asked, "You didn't get any points then how are they going to decide who will win?"
"We will both get the points individually and the one who last attacked will be rewarded with the battle points.
However, the team battle points are calculated by adding the total battle points of all members together and dividing them by the number of members present in that team.
I will tell you in a simple manner. if a team has five members and each of them has hundred battle points then their total team points will be (100+100+100+100+100)/5 which is also 100." Nyla explained how their points would be calculated as a team.
