Episode 21
“… Aren’t you crazy?”
“Anyway, it’s the two of you, but what are you going to do?”
The students were bewildered by the unexpected development, but it didn’t take long for them to regain their composure. Perhaps he was thinking of simply taking a picture with the advantage of a number and pressing it.
‘Of course, if there were a little more, it wouldn’t be too bad.’
However, the first-year class B organized too many people on the raid side. It means that he made a hasty judgment because he was possessed by the prey in front of him.
The total number of students left for defense is eleven.
And if that was enough, it was a number that the two of us could somehow cope with.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll help.”
“Then I attack.”
Even before Cheongjuhwa approached me, she secretly laid out amulets everywhere. Its quick judgment and execution power are at a level that is not strange even if it is already called a pro in combat.
“Gwangsa!”
When Cheongju-hwa made a sign and uttered the starting words, the amulets hidden outside the sight of the class B students lit up.
“what?”
“When the hell!”
One of the boys, who was not nervous, quickly performed a defensive technique, but I wasn’t the one to watch it.
‘Tosseo.’
Before I confront the students of Class B, I, too, summoned the toss and hid it under the ground.
In addition, due to the concealment technique hung on the toss, it would not have been possible to detect its existence with a simple detection system magic.
Class B students had to pay a heavy price for it.
Whoops!
Quajiic!
“ね!”
“Ugh?”
“Why all of a sudden the earth… !”
The ground touched by the students’ feet, which was spread out, collapsed in an instant.
Naturally, the preparation ceremony was messed up, and the students who got involved fell into a completely defenseless state for a moment.
“Four first.”
Whoops.
Pavabak!
Cheongju-hwa, who took advantage of that gap, delivered the final blow with swift action.
Wow!
The four students, who were swept away by the ground collapse, dyed their dog tags red as they were, and fell into a state of incapacity.
‘It’s a good start.’
It certainly brought momentum in the early engagements. enough achievement
However, even as a first-year student, a fierce counterattack began to come, taking advantage of the sacrifices of class B students, of course, classmates.
“Heodo Public.”
“Non-poisonous Bak (匕毒雹)!”
“Heat Wave!”
After being the target of countless attacks, I quickly hid behind Cheongjuhwa. And I started to build an offensive technique rather than a defensive technique.
“A little defense.”
“… Why are you tangled up with me?”
That’s because it’s more efficient. My wretched spiritual power can’t last long until I fight head-to-head.
However, if the Cheongju Hwa has the highest level of abilities not only for the first year but also for the second year, however, this level of attack can be prevented with ease.
“The Wall of Heaven.”
Whoops!
Pasch.
Paz.
phut!
As expected, Cheongju-hwa neatly blocked all attacks.
A defensive technique that boasts a high level of difficulty among intermediate-level techniques. The other students were at a loss for words as they unfolded it so simply.
And this time, it was my turn to raise the score.
“Sahokdo Gongrae (私惑到恐來).”
An intermediate-level curse type magic that was hard to build by hiding behind Cheongjuhwa. This is the one used by Pi Eugene, a class A, in the previous goldsmiths class.
“Wow!”
“Huh!”
Wow!
This is an intermediate skill that has been strengthened by the gold industry figures. Of course, two more B-class students who did not have the talent to endure were rejected.
“Are you in a hurry? Why are you breathing so well!”
“Didn’t you plan it out in advance from the beginning?”
The remaining five students cried out with their unhappy hearts.
so did it The thing I did with Cheongjuhwa was so close that I could believe it was a pair that had been working together for a very long time.
Because of this, Cheongju-hwa also said to me with a look of excitement.
“Are you hitting a little?”
“Only you.”
I knew the style of cheongju-hwa, so I purposely matched it, but even so, it was said that it was a good match for such a neat connection.
As I said, Cheongju-hwa has a dream of being a reliable team. This fight will be an opportunity to change her thoughts about me, even a little.
“There are five of us left, is it okay if I get 30 points?”
“Anyway.”
Rather, the result would have been different if all eleven had been putting pressure on them from the beginning.
However, the flow was lost due to a surprise attack, and in the end, more than half of the personnel were killed.
“The chestnut. Gollung (骨熊).”
Fuwaak!
From my shadow came two bony wolves and a bear.
[Grump.]
[Gigi.]
At the same time, a black swan flying in the air spread a fierce cry,
[Cheap-!]
Although it is a low-level shikigami, it is a power that cannot be completely ignored.
The B-class students who saw it slowly began to lose their will.
“Shi, four shikigami at a time… … .”
“… The rumors were true.”
It was clear that the rumors were probably referring to the mid-term evaluations. In the fight against A-class Cheong Haram, I was told that I won a landslide victory with a great shikigami technique.
At that time, the field of view was blocked by the effect of the overlapping barriers, and rumors became more inflated thanks to that situation.
He wasn’t pushed in terms of power, and his momentum was leaning this way, so the outcome of the ensuing battle was obvious in a way.
Wow!
“ね!”
Whoa!
“Ugh!”
The five of us in an instant smashed the two barrier stones owned by the first-year B-Class, who had become defenseless.
Kwajik!
Quajiic!
“Ah, I actually got 50 points. Something feels weird. this.”
“Now let’s go. There is going to be a fight over there soon.”
I called Cheongju-hwa and checked the terminal the school gave me when school started.
[1-B Class Faction, Destroy the Barrier Stone.]
[2-D Nak-hyun Yoon cannot fight.]
[2-D Hansol Han cannot fight.]
[2-D Cheol-seong Choi is unable to fight.]
[1-B Alisha unable to fight.]
After the message, the name of the student who did it is attached like a tag. Except for the students who me and Cheongju-hwa were eliminated, it seemed that the second-year class D was also being pushed back.
‘Information has stopped being updated.’
After some time passed after the notification of the destruction of the barrier stone appeared, there was no further information update. Perhaps Class B retreated or entered a deadlock with each other.
As I and Cheongju-hwa hurriedly headed to the second-year D-class camp, there were students from the two factions who had stopped fighting as expected.
Murmur.
Murmur.
The B-class students who lost their headquarters were in a state of not knowing what to do.
We emerged from behind them.
“uh? There is Cheongjuhwa.”
“hey! Are you crazy?”
Class B students, who lost 100 points in an instant, vomited their anger, and Cheongju-hwa shrugged and ignored it.
I intervened and opened my mouth.
“As you can see, all of your camps have been robbed.”
“… So what do you mean? Do you want me to be quiet?”
At that, I shook my head expressionlessly. Even if it’s class B, I’m still a freshman. He still didn’t seem to understand the rules of this test properly.
“Didn’t you feel something strange?”
“… … ?”
“Actually, if it’s a simple confrontation, it’s easier to decide whether or not everyone will be eliminated by destroying the barrier stone. But in this test, the team’s score and your own score are two different things. Why would you do that?”
“… What do you want to say?”
“It’s over as a team, but there are still opportunities as an individual.”
At those words, some of the students in Class B made a hopeful expression. After a while, one of them asked a question.
“Now that we have lost our headquarters, are you saying that it is better to cooperate with other classes to increase the score?”
“okay.”
Naturally, class-to-class alliances are meaningless in these tests. Because they had a place to protect each other, exchanging appropriate support was not realistic in itself.
However, if they have already lost their camp, of course there is nothing to be afraid of.
Apart from the issue of credit, cooperation itself was always possible.
soggy sogon.
[What?]
[It’s a little rough, but wouldn’t it be better to aim for survival points or kill points?]
[I don’t know what method was used, but the two of us destroyed the main camp. Those two are dangerous.]
[A. Mr. If we fight, will we all be eliminated? Let’s keep the score while moderately helping from behind.]
It didn’t take long to come to a conclusion.
In the end, the remnants of the first-year B-Class decided to cooperate with the D-Class.
***
Time passed and it was a dark night.
Perhaps today, any class fought fiercely, so even for recovery, they will not carry out a night attack.
I checked the information through the terminal and organized the situation of the first test.
‘What’s left is the first grade A class, the second grade A class, and the second grade B class.’
If you include us, there are only four teams alive.
Even if we supplemented our power with first-year B-class personnel, the fact that we were still the weakest did not change.
In fact, it is difficult to trust as it is an improvised alliance.
‘If it sticks normally, there’s no hope.’
To be clear, the remaining three teams are at different levels. No matter which side we meet, we can’t win.
But it didn’t matter. After all, I had no intention of leading the D-Class to victory in the first test from the beginning.
‘I’m talking now, but protecting the barrier stone in the first place doesn’t really mean anything,’
The test continues until 48 hours have elapsed, or until the last class of barrier stones remain.
No matter how large the island is, as long as there is a place to protect it, it is absurd that a subclass with relatively poor power can withstand 48 hours.
In the end, it was just a difference in timing, and it also coincided with the sound that our barrier stone was going to be broken by a higher class someday.
‘The important thing is how many extra points you get until the first test is over, and how much survival points you can get.’
Even now, the score wasn’t bad, but I wanted to raise it by 50 to 100 points if possible.
‘Aiming for a kill score, a barrier stone, or both.’
Of course, both methods are difficult as a head-to-head match. If you were aiming for it, the best moment was when the upper classes fought each other.
‘Because the other side will know that, they will try to sort this annoying side first.’
That side is natural. There was no reason to leave any room for surprise during the fight. Perhaps tomorrow, it was clear that the D-class camp would be devastated without help.
‘Even if we all run away anyway, all the other classes will unite and try to deal with us for sure.’
In case everyone was eliminated during the battle together, it was better to survive with a small number of people and try to catch fishermen.
‘If you succeed in breaking another team’s barrier stone, common points will be added to the other students who were eliminated.’
Some may say that it is hard-hearted, but that side will be helpful in terms of team play as well.
Just as I was drawing that conclusion, a black swan floating in the air caught something.
“… You’re coming to a night raid at this point?”
over thirty people.
Seeing that Seo Ji-an was there, it was clear that they were second-year B-class.
‘The whole class is moving. The other side also gave up the barrier stone.’
It was a difficult situation for each other to win the final victory, so it seemed like they were acting with the mindset that if they catch only D-class, it doesn’t matter what happens after that.
I quickly summoned the black swan. If it was the level of 2nd year B-class students, there was a possibility that they would notice and intercept the Black Swan.
He then woke up the sleeping Cheongjuhwa and quickly explained the situation.
“Then I should jump out.”
Just by briefly explaining, Cheongju-hwa understood everything going on. You probably already understand how best to behave on this test.
As I was quietly leaving the camp, Cheongju-hwa grabbed me and stopped me.
As I stared with a puzzled expression, Cheongjuhwa pointed to the center of the camp and said to me.
“If it’s going to break anyway, we’ll break it.”
“… … .”
It seems that I have injected the wrong idea.
