8. Rabbit. Riley

This monster's sense of presence is terrifyingly low. Luo Di was focusing on Hunter, occasionally looking at Yu Lu, and failed to notice this character's existence at all.

Just as Luo Di was thinking about what this person had done in the melee, what monsters he had killed, the other had already finished drawing lots.

After the lot drawing was completed,

the newcomers each took a copy of their corresponding student IDs, but after a glance, it was immediately destroyed, and anyone trying to peek would only see the dense question marks on the white paper.

Except for Yu Ze, who was still sleeping with a talisman stuck on,

the seniors, to some extent, all wanted to know the lot results.

But Teacher Guo didn't seem in a hurry to reveal everything at once, opting to reveal them one by one.

"Attending school requires positivity, thus the last freshman to draw lots will commence the final assessment first.

The first to go is the unaffiliated, wandering monster, Rabbit. Riley.

Your examiner is Katayama."

"Ah? Me?"

Upon hearing he would be the first, the senior Katayama looked nervous and began secreting a lot of mucus. In contrast, Rabbit showed little expression, continuing to maintain an extremely low sense of presence.

Luo Di secretly approached Katayama before the match, having a pretty good impression of him, as it was rare to see such a simple monster in the Corner.

"Katayama, need a piece of metal? It seems like you'd be better at self-control when slightly dehydrated."

"Thank you, Luo Di, but no need~ I've learned how to somewhat control my body's moisture after two morning runs."

"Be careful."

"I will."

Luo Di instinctively wanted to pat Katayama's back to encourage him, but pulled back in the last instant, nearly crippling his arm again.

The sparring area remained set on the field,

newcomers not participating in the assessment had to retreat to the field's perimeter and were not allowed to interfere in any way.

Both sides entered the field.

Katayama reduced his body's water content by 70% through self-twisting, showing a slender yet balanced state, with drooping black hair slightly covering his ears and eyes.

He even jogged onto the field, following up with very standard warm-up exercises.

Teacher Guo's voice echoed from the stage: "A reminder, although sparring needs to consider life and death issues, you don't need to hold back.

Once we teachers detect any life-threatening risk, we will intervene directly.

Moreover, the sparring area is limited to the field; exiting it means defeat.

Other than that, there are no harsh rules; feel free to immerse yourselves in the depths of fear and spar, showcasing what you excel at as much as possible.

"Now, the first match officially begins!"

At Teacher Guo's command, the two who should have immediately exploded into a fearful confrontation instead did nothing, not even making the basic move to approach each other.

Katayama was more active, but only in comparison to himself.

He was still doing his final stretching exercises, eyes focused on himself, not paying attention to the freshman wearing the rabbit mask.

Suddenly,

while stretching his legs, Katayama became confused. He suddenly couldn't recall who his opponent was. He looked up and saw that he was the only one on the field.

He couldn't quite remember why he was standing here or what he was doing here.

However, he did notice a few things.

The recent morning runs had ingrained his memory of the field deeply, but the area that was supposed to be flat now had some holes in the grass, resembling rabbit holes.

Additionally, judging by the teachers' expressions and Luo Di's looks, he was probably participating in some kind of outdoor examination project that required good performance.

These strange rabbit holes might hold his objective within.

With this thought,

Katayama attempted to approach the nearest rabbit hole.

He did not spread any pathogens inside his body but rather lowered himself close and brought his eye to the dark entrance, wanting to see what was inside.

When he pressed his entire eye socket against it, seeing only the darkness inside,

a pair of red eyes glared out from the depths of the darkness, startling Katayama into an instinctive retreat, accidentally landing on the ground with a thud.

However,

the red eyes were not something terrifying, but rather a cute white-furred rabbit that followed out and began grazing on the surrounding grass.

"A rabbit?"

Just as Katayama was puzzled, a second rabbit emerged from the hole.

And it wasn't just this hole—rabbits started appearing from the other rabbit holes on the field, and soon a large number of rabbits surrounded him.

Some of the rabbits tried to get close to his body and began gently pulling at his clothes with their paws.

Katayama did not resist but squatted down to gently touch these rabbits. Before becoming a Pseudo-Person, he quite liked such small animals.

However,

just as he indulged himself, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Several rabbits around him appeared somewhat deformed, their bodies seeming to fuse with one another, and some of them even emitted cries like a baby's.

Katayama's hand also felt a strange sensation,

no longer furry but rather touching some kind of sticky substance.

Upon looking down, he found a large patch of rotten flesh on the rabbit he was stroking, with bloody roots growing from the decay, connecting to the nearby rabbits.

All of a sudden,

the scene changed,

and Katayama found himself deep inside a rabbit hole without knowing when he had entered.

A large totem built of countless rabbit corpses stood here, with various flesh-like roots waving above it.

Waves of fear radiated out like ripples, constantly washing over Katayama's consciousness.

Katayama's body also began to sprout rabbit fur, his hand suddenly broke off, falling to the ground, and transformed into a rabbit.

An unknown phobia was wildly spreading through his cranium.

...

In the actual field.

As Katayama looked towards the rabbit Riley, he froze completely, unable to move.

Riley leaped silently to Katayama's back.

His palm gradually cracked, and a mass of dense neural tentacles started to grow, seemingly intending to directly sever Katayama's pituitary.

Just as he was about to act,

Katayama unexpectedly turned around at the crucial moment, looking at him apologetically, eyes on the flesh roots separating from his hand.

"Ah... What are you planning to do? Oh right, I remembered, you're that freshman, and I'm assessing you."

Riley was clearly taken aback, unable to comprehend why Katayama wasn't consumed by fear, clearly already deeply entrapped, where rabbit phobia should have taken root.

Surprise lasted only a moment,

and in the rabbit's eyes, the opponent was full of weaknesses. It only needed the flesh roots to reach the facial features, directly accessing the pituitary to claim victory.

The flesh roots were about to grow.

Cough cough cough!

A violent cough echoed,

Riley the rabbit surprisingly coughed up a large amount of fresh blood from beneath the mask, his body growing weak as well. Smelling something, he decisively abandoned the attack and retreated to maintain distance.

When he once again looked up at Katayama,

this seemingly simple, delicate young man, full of flaws,

in reality, was filled with danger from head to toe, even the grass on the ground had long been diseased... This was not a person, but a mass of epidemic coupled together by a Vortex.

In the "rabbit holes" Katayama previously entered, snails were continuously crawling out between the rabbits' corpses, and an endless plague had already spread.

Even without direct contact, he had become sick.

"I forfeit..."
