368 – Treasure Hunter (3)

Students taking this test can be roughly classified into three categories.

First of all, people who are passionate about the theme of treasure hunting. They focused on exploration rather than combat.

I was able to feel the fun of the test just by exploring, and especially when I found the treasure through clues, the sense of accomplishment was indescribable.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t people out there looking for the treasure, so it’s best to run away as much as possible to score points.

Second, the students are targeting people who have found the treasure. These students are bound to clash with other students.

As the possibility of a collision is high, the probability of being declared dead is also high, and more than anything, it is closer to gambling since you are aiming for treasure.

Lastly, there are students who do both. Students who will do anything to obtain treasure.

These people are focused only on getting treasure, so they never avoid a fight.

Moreover, there is a strong tendency to target even people who have found clues rather than treasure. In most cases, there are two things.

Either the force is strong enough to handle even if it becomes a public enemy, or it can be dealt with quietly.

“Um… Should I go here?”

A woman carrying a huge battle ax on her back looked around her. Frozen Princess, Rainada.

Currently, she was wandering alone in a small town characterized by a fountain. Of course, she wants to find treasure.

By chance, I found a note with a clue, followed it, and arrived at the village. For reference, I found the map before.

‘Looking at this, it’s clear that it represents a fraction…’

This is roughly what the clue tells us. The water that stretches towards the sky inevitably returns to the pond.

At first, I thought this was some kind of clue, but after turning her head a little, I realized it was a fountain.

Eventually she arrived at a village with a fountain, but she did not know where the treasure was.

It looks like there is another clue in the fountain. Raina approached the fountain.

‘The academy is so amazing. ‘I can’t believe the testing center is this big.’

While Reina was amazed at the size of her academy, she took a close look at the fountain. I was wondering if there was any clue.

Eventually, I found a small box inside the fountain and a smile came across my face. That was definitely a treasure.

-Clutter

“Eck.”

However, apart from finding the treasure chest, she could not hide her disappointment. Because the treasure chest was empty.

She looked around to see if there was another device, but it remained empty.

It looks like someone else took it. I guess they put it back into the fountain to trick me.

“Eng…”

Reina sat down at the fountain, thinking she wasted nothing. His shoulders slumped in disappointment.

She opened repeatedly and closed the empty treasure chest and then raised her head. The sky was extremely clear.

‘I want to collect treasure quickly…’

Reyna let out her sigh. There was still a lot of time left, but her heart became impatient.

If the reward of the test was an ordinary reward, she wouldn’t have worked so hard.

They may have just had fun thinking that if you collect treasures, you collect them, and if you don’t have them, you don’t have them.

However, the reward of this exam is so great that it is difficult to even express it as unprecedented.

Even though there were quite difficult conditions attached, it was an attractive reward even taking that into account.

‘Will my wish really come true?’

Raina placed the Battle Ax that was on her back next to her. She is a favorite disease brought from Frozen.

She didn’t bring it with her during training, but she brought it for this test.

‘When should I collect all 7…’

Raina was distraught. The moment she gathers all her treasures, she has only one wish.

Moving on to the second year, where there are assistants including Sivar. She even considered being in the same class.

You will probably understand the reason for making this wish. She is currently sitting out in class.

She is in a truly lonely situation, having no choice but to focus on class without a single close friend.

I was able to communicate with Diana occasionally, but even that was difficult due to her ruinous verbal communication skills.

Anyway, Diana had plenty of people to talk to, even if it wasn’t Raina.

‘It’s hard to eat alone…’

Above all, what bothered Raina the most was meal time. She has no choice but to eat alone every lunchtime.

She wanted to eat with Shiva, but unfortunately it was difficult for her.

It seemed like Sibar was being harmed for no reason, and more than anything, the timing wasn’t right.

Therefore, as Reina, she absolutely needs to advance to the second grade through this exam.

No matter how positive she was in everything, her solitude and loneliness were the first pain she experienced in her life.

‘I feel at ease when I’m with Shibar-senpai.’

First of all, the fact that her words made sense to Raina made her feel at ease.

She is dyslexic and has trouble learning languages, but she is getting better little by little with Sivar’s help.

But even so, it was difficult to become friends with her classmates. She’s always said that her first impression is important, but it’s already too late.

So, it was best for Raina to join Sivar’s class. She has no choice but to live a comfortable school life.

‘When will I collect all the treasure?’

The exam lasts for three to four days. In the meantime, you will need to collect 7 treasures.

The problem is that one of the treasures was given to Shiva and his assistants. In other words, there is a very high possibility that you will have to fight Sivar.

“Whoa…”

Reina let out a strange sigh at the thought that a collision with Sivar was essential.

She was worried but excited at the same time. There were many different rumors about Sivar, but the word ‘strong’ was always mentioned.

In particular, the rumor that human skills were taught to gorillas is impressive. Gorillas are stronger than humans in terms of physical ability alone.

How strong is it? Can you win even if you collect all the treasures? Or is it just his physical ability that is surprisingly strong?

Whatever it was, expectations remained the same. To do that, there is no time to be discouraged.

‘Okay. Even if I just keep quiet like this, it won’t help anything.’

-Clap clap!

Reina slapped her cheek hard with both hands as if she had lost her mind. When she’s in dire straights, let’s take at least one more step.

I think it would be a good idea to search this village first. Even if there is no treasure, you can just find the clue.

Finally, she was about to start walking with her Battle Ax on her back.

-aaah!

A scream was heard not far away. Reina turned her head that way.

-aaah!

-aaah!

The scream was followed by other screams one after another. At the same time, it even sounds like something is exploding.

There’s something over there. Judging from the screaming, the scale of destruction appears to have been quite large.

So she hurriedly ran there. She left the village, crossed over the empty plains, and arrived at another village.

“······What is it?”

Raina was embarrassed. The village, with only a few buildings, was completely destroyed.

Of course, the roof of the building collapsed, and it was difficult for her to find a place that didn’t collapse.

Who on earth created something like this? Even though some people have a rough guess, the search takes priority.

Fortunately, the main culprit who turned the village into this shape seems to have disappeared.

“Ugh…”

“Are you okay?”

Most of the students were covered with shields, but there were also students who did not faint. I guess I’m lucky.

Raina hurriedly approached the student. Judging from her appearance, she is from the East.

“Who is it? Who did this?”

Is it because Sivar helped me all this time? It was a clean pronunciation in its own way.

Even though I could only speak short sentences, this was enough.

The student then opened her eyes with difficulty and faced Raina. A look of relief is a bonus.

“Jo, assistant teacher…”

“Teacher? Could it be Sivar-senpai?”

“Yes… They took our treasure…”

“Yes?”

Reina opened her eyes wide. She would have moved on if another student had taken her treasure.

But it was a little strange that the teaching assistant took it away. Because the professor said that the teaching assistants would ‘protect’ the treasure.

She never thought that she would go around and rob the treasure in person like this. No, maybe it’s some kind of trick.

“Senior Sivar? Why? Why did you take the treasure?”

“I-I don’t know…There were other colors…”

“Different colors?”

“Orange and yellow…”

It was truly shocking information that two had already been taken away. Therefore, the assistants have a total of 3 treasures.

Not even a day has passed and I already have nearly half of the treasure. The situation took an unusual turn.

‘Collecting treasure? For what? Is it even possible for a teaching assistant to make a wish?’

Even so, I don’t know what the teaching assistant may wish for. The test took an increasingly strange direction.

Reina laid her student down in a safe place and asked her final question. Maybe she is the most important question.

“What is your treasure? What color is it?”

“I need to tell you…”

“I heard the assistant is collecting it! Let’s work together!”

“··· ···”

Reina shouted urgently. It is true that since Sivar has become a treasure hunter, she must join forces.

But there was another trick hidden inside. As soon as Shivar gathers all the treasure, she will be the last one.

It was more than just cowardice, it was mean-spirited, or even worse, but Raina wanted to make a wish unconditionally.

You can enjoy a comfortable school life with just one act of cowardice. The reward was too sweet to give up.

“······Indigo.”

“What?”

“It was dark blue…”

“··· ···”

It is said that the treasure stolen by Shivar was indigo. Raina pursed her lips after hearing the answer.

But the problem isn’t color. This is the performance of the treasure.

The student let out a complicated sigh and quietly opened her mouth.

“I’ll know the location.”

“Yes?”

“Knowing the location of other treasures. That’s the effect.”

“··· ···”

“It’s all over now. “That man will collect all the treasure.”

It is truly a disappointing effect. Even without the effects of the treasure, he is still an incredibly strong person.

It’s like putting wings on a tiger’s back. No, rather than that, the movement line was reduced to the minimum.

As Reyna thought of Sivar, who was still marching straight toward her treasure, she muttered involuntarily.

“You’re screwed.”

“Fucked.”

The student seems to agree. She left her student behind and moved on without delay.

We need to get this information out to everyone. In particular, people who have treasures must be informed at all costs.

‘You can’t be late…!’

The desire to make a wish still remains. But before that, if Sibar makes a wish, it’s a small sandfish.

We must join forces to eliminate Sivar, or forcefully disgorge the treasures given to him.

‘Besides, Shivar-senior walks around well at night, right?’

All the worst conditions have come true.

*****

-Weeeing

When magical power was injected into the ring with a navy blue gem, an arrow floated into the sky.

The arrow was pointing in a specific direction. I think you can just go straight like this.

A navy blue ring that I got by chance during the previous battle. One performance is really great.

‘It seems like it will end too easily.’

I stared at the navy blue ring and quietly took it off my finger. And I put it in my pocket.

It’s not good to rely too much on it. Moreover, isn’t there a lot of time?

‘This is a scam.’

Why on earth did you put something like this in? At the same time, I became curious.

‘What on earth is purple?’
