As soon as he killed the Violet monster, the bracelet attached to his wrist gave a "ping" sound. Arjun looked at the bracelet and found that the number which displayed '0' a moment ago, changed to '10' immediately.

This was the proof which proves that Jimmy has killed his first monster in the preliminaries. There was also an additional information displayed on the bracelet.

Name: Arjun

Team: Star Moon Team

Monsters Killed: Violet - 1

Indigo -

Blue -

Green -

Yellow -

Orange -

Red -

Points: 10

Team Rank: 20119

Jimmy smiled. But he didn't give up just because his ranking was very low. This was just the beginning of the preliminaries. And so far he found only one monster with very lowest rank in the forest. Some people might be lucky enough to encounter higher ranked monsters as soon as they entered the forest. After killing those monsters, they might have found that their rankings had reached a very high level.

Very soon Jimmy encountered Violet colour monsters which numbered around 30. With this his points tally reached 300. Because he found out that even though his points reached an higher level, their team's ranking has fallen. Earlier when he killed his first monster, Star Moon Team's ranking was 20119. But now it actually fallen to 21476?

Jimmy started to wonder what kind of situation others were in. He wanted to know their status. He didn't waste time and contacted everyone immediately through mental connection.

"How is the situation with you all?" ,Jimmy asked.

"Boss! You have finally connected." ,Rick said immediately.

"I am good." ,Sitaram said, "What about your status?"

"I am more than fine." ,Arjun replied, "In fact, I haven't found any challenge at all so far. I killed thirty monsters and yet our team's ranking hasn't risen up. Is everything alright with others? I just wanted to know why exactly our team's ranking is falling down?"

"I don't know." ,Ben said, "Big brother! I am ashamed to say that I am yet to kill a monster here."

"Me too." ,Gutherson said, "I don't know where exactly the things are going wrong. But I told myself that it's been just an hour since we entered the preliminaries. Their is much time left before it ends. We could find many monsters in the coming times.

"Hmm." , Jimmy said, "Let's hope that what you said was right, grandpa."

Sitaram said, "Be careful. Don't panic when you see a monster, kids. Just enjoy the preliminaries."

"Yes." ,Arjun nodded as he said, "Alright! I will call you at the end of the day. Till then, try to kill as many monsters as possible."

The old and experienced fighters like Sitaram, Gutherson and Gnan killed those monsters with less effort. But the inexperienced youngsters like Logan and others found it hard to fight those monsters. But after kept on fighting for some time, they finally felt relaxed as they started to killed those monsters more efficiently.

Even Arjun found it tough to face those monsters at the beginning. But he was not as worse as a complete noobs in combat like Logan and Ben. So it didn't become any difficulty for Jimmy to quickly understand the timing and essence of the monster's movements. He started to kill the Indigo and even Blue ranked monsters more quickly and swiftly.

Some adopted very quickly. Some took time to adopt with the monster's speed. But finally at a point of time, everyone became experts in slaying Indigo and Blue coloured monsters!

With this, their ranking started to rise at a slow pace. Jimmy looked at his bracelet. He precisely looked at the newly updated information displayed on the bracelet.

Name: Arjun

Team: Star Moon Team

Monsters Killed: Violet - 51

Indigo - 22

Blue - 9

Green -

Yellow -

Orange -

Red -

Points : 1220

Team Rank :19977

Arjun looked at his ranking and was not satisfied at all. By the end of the day, they truly managed to improve their rankings. But it was just by a small margin. Their current ranking is 19977. What does the rank 19977 means? It means that there are still 19976 teams which had more points than them.

Arjun spoke to others. They all shared their own first day's experiences. Arjun found it strange. Arjun didn't find any monsters. It's true. It could be considered as his tough luck. But it doesn't mean that other members in his team couldn't as well.

Arjun said, "Grandfather! Don't you find this strange?"

Definitely." ,Sitaram replied as he thought. He said, "I find it definitely strange."

"What is it?" ,Logan asked as he didn't understand what exactly Arjun and Sitaram were discussing about. He asked, "What is so strange?"

"Too many things." ,The one who spoke was Rick.

"You found it strange as well?" ,Gutherson smiled as he said, "It's a good sign. Boss! It looks like my grandson is improving in this aspect."

"Indeed. He is growing. This is a good sign." ,Sitaram agreed as he said, "I hope other also start depending on themselves and participate actively in the discussion. But this is not the time to discuss all this. Let's hear what Rick had to say."

"Alright." ,Arjun nodded his head in agreement. He said, "Rick! Go ahead. Let's hear what exactly you have found out."

"Yes." ,Rick felt proud for his small achievement. But he know his priorities. He said, "First of all, We couldn't find many monsters no matter how much we searched. Let's consider that we are not lucky. But it's not like all the members of the Star Moon Team would be this unlucky people, right?"

Rick added, "And secondly, there are more than 7000 teams participating in the preliminaries through the Combat Method. If we even add an average of ten members per team, we could say that there should be at least 70000 humans in this forest right now. All this time the only creatures we found are those monsters. We failed to find any humans. If this was the case with just one person in our Star Moon Team, then that's fine. But if all ten of us encountered the same situation, then I have to say that this is definitely not a coincidence! This is definitely a set up! But we can't exclude the possibility that this might truly a coincidence. So unless we have a concrete proof, we can't jump into an hasty conclusion."

Rick concluded. Arjun said, "Excellent! You said everything that we observed and wanted to say. You are absolutely right. This whole shit appears to be a set up!"
