Chapter 109 – Episode 109. Survival Test (2)

At Professor Kim Jin-hyeok’s words to bring all the items, no matter how small, the cadets stood up hesitantly and started inspecting the snacks and drinks they had bought for breakfast.

Alice had 10 magic stones.

It’s probably a reserve in case mana runs out. Alice, with that, how could she survive for a week.

But why is he suddenly doing that? I don’t understand.

Even if I read the status window, I can’t figure it out because I can only think of garbage or filth.

Wait a moment.

Was it Ellis who saw Rumi having sex in the club room?

Considering that she is the daughter of the Iris guild, which is an intelligence guild, she could have ordered her guild members to investigate me.

Then she got caught because of my carelessness, and it reached Alice’s ears.

‘But is having sex with my girlfriend in a club room even called trash… ?’

The only one caught was Rumi, so the investigators would think she was just a girlfriend.

Ha, I don’t know. In the first place, this conjecture is not certain.

“Go in one by one.”

We were entering the mobile portal one by one.

If you ride this, you will arrive at an uninhabited island.

I also entrusted myself to the portal. When I opened my eyes, I saw the open sea, and behind me, I saw thick trees like the Amazon.

This place where the cadets were chattering around was the shore of an island.

“Gather Class A here.”

Homeroom professor Kim Jin-hyeok came out of the portal for the last time and gathered us together.

“This is an uninhabited island purchased from the Victoria Academy. There is no human trace, and the ecosystem has been maintained as much as possible. You guys must survive here until Sunday.”

Professor Kim Jin-hyeok started briefing on the special exam.

Certainly, the densely growing trees looked like a tropical rain forest and seemed untouched by human hands.

“There are many poisonous animals and monsters on the island. Of course, even if there is no poison, there are many monsters that can threaten your life. If you want to give up, contact me on your smart watch at any time. If you think there is, use this.”

Kim Jin-hyeok handed out stickers to the cadets that could be attached to smart watches.

“If you tear that sticker, you will immediately move to a safe place. However, the moment you tear the sticker, the test is at its worst.”

Unlike the training so far, there is no safety device. However, there are a huge number of drones and surveillance cameras monitoring the island to prevent accidents, so it won’t be too dangerous.

“Isn’t this dangerous?”

“I couldn’t even contact my girlfriend…”

Professor Kim Jin-hyuk continued his explanation while looking indifferently at the buzzing children.

“I will explain the test method. You are basically given 10 points. There are ways to increase points all over the island. First, you can catch monsters and recognize them with your smartwatch to increase the points. And, of course, combat between cadets is possible. ….”

Kim Jin-hyeok’s explanation was filthy long.

To put it simply, catching a monster is a point, and catching a cadet is a point.

A weak monster is given an appropriate score, and a stronger monster is given a higher score.

If you process one cadet and recognize the smartwatches, you can get half of the points the cadet had.

In addition to monsters, supply boxes falling from the sky and treasures hidden everywhere give points.

“To steal points from another cadet, simply steal their smartwatch. If you read another smartwatch with your smartwatch, you get half of the points stored there, and your opponent is eliminated.”

Kim Jin-hyeok explained while tapping his smart watch.

“I don’t think there are any great people who will risk their lives to fight for the test… But let me tell you just in case. This is just part of the training. Mara.”

“Professor… But don’t you think fighting can lead to extreme emotions?”

A cadet raised his hand and asked a question.

It’s a question that makes sense, but… If that was the case, I wouldn’t have brought it here in the first place.

“You are students of Victoria Academy. It doesn’t matter now whether you are more talented than others, or whether you have a better family or a lot of money. It is natural that you will be exposed to difficult and dangerous training once you enter the academy.”

Victoria Academy is a world-recognized educational institution.

This kind of Spartan education was hidden behind the Victoria Academy, which produced the best hunters, but it is true that people grow up during difficult trials.

“If you are not confident, you can contact me and give up. Even if you are in danger of dying, you can tear the sticker. If you are still breathing, the medical team on standby will somehow save you, so don’t worry. I don’t even care for those who die stupidly.”

It’s scary to say that. Of course, I won’t die, so it doesn’t matter.

“With this, the things that need to be spread are over. Lastly, I’ll give you personal guidance and emergency food.”

Each person was given one map and one pouch.

The pouch labeled emergency food contained two chocolate bars and two eggs.

‘Someone put this on their nose….’

“Each person will have a mark on the map. When all personnel arrive at their own mark, the test will begin. From now until the test begins, conversations or contact with each other are prohibited. If detected, you will be eliminated immediately, and within 30 minutes you will be eliminated. Even if you are not positioned on the mark, you are eliminated. Then move!”

Kim Jin-hyeok disappeared through the portal, as if that was the end of his words.

Maybe go to a situation room or something and watch the test.

The cadets looked around in bewilderment, but no one opened their mouths.

“…”

This situation was the same for other classes.

Probably because the entire first year, over 200 people, were dumped on the shore.

Of course, after thinking for a few seconds, all the cadets quietly entered the forest.

After saying goodbye to Lucy and Rumi, I looked at the map and found my way.

*

As I waited at the designated location, a notification arrived on my smart watch.

[The exam starts now! If you want to give up, just run this app and press the give up button!]

This is an app that I installed to prepare for the exam.

Later, I use this app to track other cadets, and I have a lot of things to use in various places. I can’t do it now.

———————-

『The sub-quest has been sent.』

[Combination of literary and martial arts and special!]

You who are well versed!

Show your superior performance in the special exam!

– Reward: Agility stat 2

———————-

“Five?”

A sub-quest also appeared.

But I’m not number one in practice. Why are you a martial artist?

Why are rewards trying to raise agility? I’ll give you some magic power.

In any case, the special test must be done hard.

The things I need come out of the boss monster on the 7th day.

Think of this as a bonus.

First… Let’s find a place to sleep.

We plan to set up a base and work around that area.

I don’t want to wander around for nothing, and rumors spread to all the freshmen that I had a lot of supplies on the coast earlier.

“Isn’t there a nice place…? Let’s go to the mountains.”

There are many places with good topography in the mountains. There may be caves.

“It would be nice if it was close to water. It’s also good to wash.”

I brought my toiletries, so all I need is running water.

I looked at the map and found a nearby river and grabbed a fork.

*

Elise started her special test feeling uneasy.

She was annoyed when she learned the truth about Lee Ho-yeon, but it was also annoying that she was taken to a place like this because it was a special test.

“A perverted bastard.”

Even thinking about it again gives her goose bumps.

I never thought he would be such a promiscuous man.

‘He was a man I thought I wanted to be friends with….’

There was still a strange sense of regret, but I felt a physiological rejection.

Dory dory.

Alice erased her thoughts about Lee Ho-yeon. Tests were important now.

“Ten magic stones…”

For Alice, who needed two or three magic stones to attend one of her practice classes, 10 pieces were outrageously short.

But she couldn’t give up on the exam, so she had to do the best she could.

Alice decided to find her treasure first. She might have treasures related to mana.

She looked at the map and looked for a place where the treasure might be, but Alice decided to head to the center of the island, but she remembered Lee Ho-yeon heading to the center.

“… Let’s go this way.”

She liked going to the center, but thinking about Lee Ho-yeon made her feel bad.

Ellis looked at her map and started walking east.

However, her innate guild attributes prevented her from finding her way, and she ended up in a very different place than she had originally thought.

“Where is this…?”

A wide river appeared in front of Ellis. It was the headwaters of the river that penetrated the uninhabited island.

Ellis, who climbed a dangling wooden bridge to cross the river, didn’t notice the cadets lurking on the other side of her as she concentrated her nerves on the map.

But she didn’t want Alice coming across her side either.

“Hey… What the fuck is the answer, Alice, you’re coming. You crazy bastard.”

The two Namsaengs who were hiding in the grass began to panic when they saw Alice crossing the bridge.

“Fucked up. You got it wrong. If you run into it, there’s no answer. You have to jump out.”

“Hey, wait a minute. I don’t think we noticed yet. Shall we try it?”

Among the two, the cadet with the bow said nervously.

“We couldn’t win even if we ambush, why?”

The cadet with the spear behind his back made the right point, but the cadet with the bow shook his head.

“We’re aiming for that bridge, not Ellis. We only need to break the connection to our side.”

“Oh…? Is that so?”

An outrageous plan to destroy the bridge Alice is crossing. It was a crappy operation that Alice in perfect condition would never have taken on, but now she was in a bad mood and was focusing all her attention on finding her way.

“Yeah. I can’t score much if I deal with it now anyway. I’m just wiping out one of her competitors.”

“Okay. Let’s do it. If it doesn’t work, she can just run away.”

Ellis was still looking at her map, squinting her eyes.

“No… Here is a tree, here is a tree, there is a mountain and there is a mountain, but where are you going?”

Bassrock-

Pretend to be felt with the artificial sound of moving leaves.

At the same time, I felt something flying towards me.

‘Late!’

Ellis hastily raised her magical powers in preparation for the attack on her.

Caan-!

But she didn’t have any attacks aimed at her.

The javelins and arrows aimed at the creaking wooden legs completely severed the ropes holding her wooden legs together.

“Uh…?”

After Ellis ambushed this way, she said it was a success and made eye contact with the two who gave a high five, and Ellis fell into the river.

R r r r r r –

‘I have to take out the magic stone….’

I forcibly removed her mana to prevent her surprise, and her mana started to rise again.

If you want to escape from the water right away, you need to do first aid with a magic stone.

Ellis, who tried to take out her magic stone while fiddling with the inside pocket of her clothes, lost her hand holding her magic stone due to the unexpectedly strong current.

“…!”

At the same time, magic stones came out of her inner pocket, which had been opened by Alice’s hand.

Only 10 spare magic stones were swept away by the river, and Elise struggled to get out of her river, but her body couldn’t move properly due to the aftereffects of forcibly pulling her magic.

“A real danger… Ah-.”

Ellis decided to remove the emergency sticker from her smartwatch, thinking it was really dangerous, but at that moment she was swept away and tossed around, her head colliding with a protruding rock.

Her shortness of breath, the magical disturbance inside her body, and the pain she felt at the back of her head all came together, and Ellis eventually lost her mind and was washed ashore.
