370 – Toys (1)

As I wandered around, time flew by. Four hours have already passed since the appointment time.

I was hungry in the middle of the day, so I wandered around the village and found that there was nothing to do. We hardly even met students.

Even if we ran into each other, he didn’t think about fighting me. What was the reaction of most people…

“Jo, I’m the assistant teacher! Run away!”

“We are hopeless! Let’s run away!”

Either run away.

“Uh, what should I do? Should I fight?”

“It’s a dead end behind you anyway! We have no choice but to fight!”

Either fight and be beaten like a dog.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

“Wake up.”

“I’m sorry.”

Pretend to be dead and get caught by me, etc.

All kinds of reactions came out, but most of them were reluctant to deal with me.

Anyway, I don’t think this is a good thing. Why is everyone busy running away instead of fighting?

Even now, I had as many as three treasures. It’s practically a walking golden goblin.

Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was strange when I saw him avoid fighting.

‘I don’t understand.’

Thanks to this, I was able to spend all my time wandering around alone. I thought about it as I opened a can of food.

It is not fun to use the dark blue treasure that shows the location of other treasures. But it’s still not very fun.

How can I get students to attack me? This is something I rarely worry about.

‘I don’t know if Kara and Karas are doing well.’

I thought about this while eating canned pineapple with my bare hands. Is it enough to just move around like this?

Although Karas is skilled in instigation and fabrication, she is too bored to wait until then.

‘Isn’t there something interesting going on?’

I finished the canned pineapple neatly and got up. The village I am currently located in is at the northwest end.

Naturally, it is a village with no one. There were students, but they all ran away.

Rather than just sitting around here, I plan to find treasure through clues.

‘Let’s see. The clue is…’

I took a piece of paper out of my pocket. It is a piece of paper with a clue written on it.

Where this clue came from is simple. It was given to me by students who were researching this village.

At first glance, it may seem like I’m stealing money, but I never confiscated it that way.

The situation can be roughly summarized as follows.

‘I will give it to you.’

‘What?’

‘I’ll give you a clue. Please send it.’

‘··· ···’

It’s like that. The students who had the yellow treasure were much better.

You give up the fight without even fighting. I don’t have guts, I don’t have guts.

Still, I was able to replenish my stamina, so it wasn’t that bad.

‘The power to move the world… That’s truly grandiose.’

This is the content of the clue I received from the student earlier. The power to move the world.

It sounds grandiose at first glance, but you also need to keep in mind the possibility that it may be empty.

‘The location is… 12 o’clock village.’

I have nothing to do, so I should look for it. I got up, munching on the pineapple in my mouth.

I was bored on the way, so I didn’t forget to look for other canned food. I feel very hungry after walking on two feet.

Eventually, I opened the map and headed to the village located at 12 o’clock. Even on the way to the village, there were no encounters with students.

It’s comfortable, but I wonder if it’s okay to do this. Even though the theme of this test is ‘competition’, it won’t be of any help if you just avoid it.

-Chizijik

[Shivar. Can you hear me?]

As they were walking towards town, Kara handed over her comm. The orange ring worn on the ring finger of her left hand her her her shone.

I put the orange ring close to my mouth. This is for more reliable transmission.

“Yes. I can hear it.”

[Nothing else to do, right?]

“Nothing.”

On the contrary, there are so few of them that it’s boring. I didn’t need to say that.

Eventually, after Kara explained their situation, she brought out information that could be considered important.

[Karas scouted the surrounding area, and the number of students is increasing.]

“The number?”

[Huh. It seems like they are slowly coming together.]

That’s good news. The news is that students are rallying one by one because they think it won’t work.

Perhaps professors would like to see this the most. Moreover, the justification for working together has been secured.

‘There may be conflict because of what happens after that.’

Still, cooperation itself is a good thing. But things in this world will not be so easy.

I told Kara I knew and ended her communication. And she took out one of her rings from her pocket her her her her.

A dark blue ring that tells the location of other treasures. I put the ring on my right finger.

I wouldn’t know if the students showed no signs of joining forces, but not now, so I plan to find out sooner.

‘Let’s go to the village at 12 o’clock first.’

The dark blue ring contains guidance magic. When magic power is applied, the location of each treasure is revealed.

It only tells you the direction, not exactly where it is, but this is enough.

As I gained the power of the treasure, I moved a little faster. Eventually we arrived at the village.

Each village has some kind of landmark, such as a fountain or windmill, but this village was a cemetery.

The arrow also pointed to the cemetery, so I walked towards it without any doubt.

“Oh.”

It was after we arrived in the middle of the cemetery. The direction sign suddenly pointed backwards.

This means one thing. That I passed up the treasure. But this is a cemetery.

‘Could it be in the ground?’

That is highly likely. Perhaps due to the characteristics of the cemetery, shovels were also placed here and there.

I took a shovel and started digging. Because the ground was soft, it was easy to dig with a shovel.

-Grasp! Grasping!

As I was digging with a shovel, I heard the sound of something getting stuck. I immediately put the shovel aside and took out the dirt.

When I removed the dirt, a pipe came out. There is a very high probability that there is treasure inside.

What kind of treasure is there? With my heart pounding, I quietly opened the coffin lid.

“Oh?”

Eventually, the ‘purple’ treasure in the coffin.

“Oh!”

I couldn’t help but be amazed by its performance.

“oooh!”

It feels like I found an incredible treasure, or rather a toy.

*****

As Kara said to Sivar, the students gradually began to gather together.

At first, Raina went here and there and tried desperately to convince him, but she didn’t get much response.

There was also her devastating linguistic ability, but there was no proper evidence. Above all, it lacked merit.

Isn’t it okay to just rip off the bracelet anyway? I go alone, how can I lose, etc.

There were various reasons for each, but ‘distrust’ was the biggest reason.

It seemed like Raina’s efforts would be in vain, but someone appeared who gave great strength to her argument.

“What? A test score of 0? Is that true?”

“Yes. I heard it clearly from the teaching assistants. They said they were planning to use their wish to change the test score to 0.”

“Well, if I really get 0 points…”

“Repeating a grade is confirmed.”

It was Eom Seokdae, no, it was Namgung Seokdae. He told exactly the conversation he overheard from Kara and Karas.

This is the testimony of Namgung Seok-dae, who had a strong influence in the class like no one else. I have no choice but to believe.

“Well, that guy is crazy! He chewed up a rock and launched it at us!”

“They tied our arms and legs, but we couldn’t do anything!”

Moreover, the students who were rejected by Shivar personally certified it. They say we must join forces to defeat Shivar.

Thanks to this, as time passed, the students began to come together little by little. Raina’s role as a messenger also played a big role.

Most of the students gathered in one village, but an unexpected conflict arose.

“Trust your empire? We’d rather go separately.”

“Have you come to your senses yet? If you get 0 points, it will hurt you too.”

“Okay. Let’s say we somehow defeated the instructor. Then what happens next? Is there any guarantee that you won’t betray us after that?”

As Sivar had expected, the events that followed were tense. There was nothing I could do about this part.

This also applies to Raina. It’s not like I didn’t think about it at all.

As the existence of Sowon was unconventional, the bone of conflict was bound to deepen.

In the end, when she thought that cooperation was impossible, Eom Seok-dae snorted and answered.

“You don’t want to join forces because of your pride… That’s foolish.”

“What? Did you finish what you said?”

“I ask you honestly. Do you think you can win in a fight with that trainer? Anyone who thinks so, please raise your hand.”

“··· ···”

No one readily answered Namgung Seokdae’s question. Everyone was busy just watching.

As expected, Shivar’s powerlessness has already been proven. Not only did he fight Ratatosk in a close fight, but he even ruled the Thunderbolt.

In addition, there was information that he even had treasure. It is very difficult to defeat Shivar unless you cooperate.

“I’m not that interested in wishes. I’m only interested in getting good grades. I’m sure there are many people like me. Especially you in the Allies.”

“··· ···”

“And… I’m also curious. I’m curious just how strong that assistant is.”

Namgung Seokdae quietly adjusted the sword hanging at his waist. The spirit of victory arose naturally.

Sivar’s pride was scratched, but there was a different reason. He must have been confident in his own power.

He also wanted to break that pride at least once. It’s a bonus to see him overcome his pride and apologize.

“You found the blue treasure, right?”

“·······Yes.”

“We are red. You can give it to us if you want.”

When Namgung Seokdae proposed unconventional conditions, the representative of the Allied Powers had no choice but to worry.

He gives this much away, but if he withdraws from this, he will only become a poor person. In the end, the CEO had no choice but to accept it.

“······Okay, just this one time.”

“It’s a good choice. Then…”

Namgungseokdae turned her head. Raina came into his gaze

Raina is just rolling her eyes because she can’t find any reason to get upset.

She said to be the strongest among the new students. She felt it herself during sparing.

“Did you say Raina?”

“Yes? Ah, yes…”

“I’ll give you this.”

Namgung Seokdae quietly held out something. Reina confirmed that she was placed in his palm.

It is a ring with a red gem. At that ring, Raina opened her eyes and looked at her Namgung Seokdae.

“This, this…”

“It’s a treasure that strengthens the body. It looks like it’ll suit you.”

When students are joining forces little by little.

“oooh!”

Shivar was admiring the chunk of rock floating in the sky.

Literally a chunk of rock was floating in the air.

Shivar’s hands are empty.

“It’s fun.”
