Chapter 123 – Episode 123. Survival Test (16)

Alice and I arrived at the riverside to wash off our sweat after our sparring.

“I’m going behind that rock, so don’t come.”

“I’m not going.”

To get caught and hear some swear words.

I decided to wash with a large rock in between.

Jiing-

I installed a barrier of runes to prevent anyone from seeing us.

Naturally, I installed it while Lucy and Rumi were washing. I widened the range of the barrier that was spread around me so that Ellis could enter as well.

“Don’t forget to finish by 50 minutes!”

“Know.”

After passing the time, I washed my body thoroughly. Since the environment is the environment, it is difficult to maintain cleanliness if you do not wash well when washing.

I gave it 30 minutes out of consideration for Alice, but I washed it all in 10 minutes.

Honestly, it’s strange that it takes 30 minutes to wash.

Shampooing, body wash and brushing your teeth takes 10 minutes.

I leaned against the rock and waited for Elise.

It’s a dog survival, but honestly, I thought I was camping because I had prepared so hard.

The sad thing is that he misses Liliana.

Since I hadn’t seen him in a week, I began to miss the soft body of the succubus.

‘I’ve become a slave to sexual desire too.’

Anyway, it seems like 30 minutes have passed, but there is no response from Alice.

Thinking that she was all washed up now, she raised her head slightly over the rock.

Alice was already sitting in her corner, with her clothes on.

‘What?’

I looked at Elise squatting in the corner of her barrier and flicked something with her hand and turned on her status window.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Ellis]

– [ Likeability: 42 ]
– [ Sex drive : 62 ]
– [Appetite: 17]
– [ Fatigue : 31 ]

Current status: This makes a small hole in the barrier. If you cover the hole with magic, there’s a high chance it won’t be discovered….

“…?”

What do you mean by that

I quickly checked the mana that made up the rune barrier.

‘I can’t feel the hole… ? No, wait.’

A very minor difference.

The mana constituting the barrier of the rune was really little, but it was damaged.

It was a difference that even I, who had [Mana Sensitivity], Couldn’t feel if I didn’t pay attention.

‘Does he dare to go this far?’

Aside from Alice’s genius for breaking through my barrier, she didn’t know why she was trying to break through my barrier.

I can understand if the purpose is to attack the barrier and fight me, but what are you going to do by drilling a small hole that I can’t see?

Let’s stop that weird thing right now.

“Ellis. What are you doing?”

Pretending not to know anything, I came out from behind a rock and called out to Elise.

“Nothing.”

Elise rose from her seat, erasing her mana in an instant.

If she hadn’t noticed that her expression didn’t change in advance, she would have been fooled for a second.

However, in that short moment when Elise erased mana, she fully grasped the size of the hole.

It was too big for a fist to fit into. One finger, if you have to ask?

In other words, I don’t think it’s intended to harm me… Could it be a peephole?

“…”

“What are you doing? Come quickly.”

“Uh, yes.”

Alice looked at me with her strange eyes as I stood still.

After sex with Baek Ah-young, her liking and libido increased, and Elise’s tired-looking face during the next night shift after sex with Rumi passed through my mind.

Um, isn’t it?

I bet you’re not trying to steal me.

But if not, is there a reason… ? You won’t have to catch my weakness anymore.

I looked at Alice’s back as she led the way.

For some reason, that back figure seemed to seduce me.

Alice and I returned to the tent.

Lucy and Rumi were joking around, holding each other’s shoulders and crossing their hands.

I wanted to go in between them too, but I held back and checked my smartwatch.

9:57.

The timing is perfect. Battle royale notification coming soon.

“Tomorrow the exam is over, where are you going?”

Lucy, who was playing around, looked at us and asked.

“Umm… First of all, we have to move while paying attention to Kim Young-han’s team.”

I checked my point ranking by manipulating my smartwatch.

———————–

The current point ranking within the island.

1. Daeun Nam. 1460p

2. Hoyeon Lee. 480p

3. Young-Han Kim. 452p

4. Ellis. 434p

“Kim Young-han is up to third place. I don’t think she wants a fight over there first, so let’s see a chance by tomorrow.”

Kim Young-han’s team won’t want to fight with me.

Even if the cadets gathered there had gathered for the purpose of catching me, it would be over with only one day since the 6th day has already passed.

No matter how stupid they are, they won’t bother to come after me.

Ellis, who was aiming for first place, also lost a little bit of her motivation. She must have let go of her desire for sex a bit now that she’s got a way to cure her magical disorder in me.

Tiri-Ri-Ring-T-Ri-Ri-Ring-

Then, everyone’s smartwatch rang.

[You have reached Day 6 of the Special Test.]

[From now on, we will start Battle Royale.]

[All cadets’ names and locations are displayed on the minimap in real time. Please be careful of the cadets who just ran away to survive.]

The smartwatch was stamped with a map of the island and glowing dots.

“What is a Battle Royale?!”

“There was something like this.”

“… What are you going to do now?”

Everyone was looking at my face.

Looking at the mini-map slowly, as expected, numerous cadets gathered around Kim Young-han.

‘No, it’s really dirty.’

Even the low-level cadets who should have been eliminated in the original work were all alive, and more than 80 cadets were forming a team.

“Let’s go inside the island for now.”

“That direction is rather the direction of getting closer to Kim Young-han’s team.”

“I know.”

“Wasn’t it you who asked me to see the opportunity by tomorrow?”

“You’ve been quiet until now, and you started the battle royale on the 6th day. If so, there will be an event on the last day as well. Since we have a map, I think it’s better to keep a reasonable distance rather than keeping a distance.”

“… Yes. Let’s do as you say.”

After I persuaded Alice with the excuse I had prepared, I headed to the center of the island, taking the Lucy Rumi twins who were looking at us with bright eyes.

The message was also sent to Kim Young-han’s team.

And Kim Young-han fell into a difficult situation she had never imagined.

Of course, if he ran into Lee Ho-yeon, he intended to fight. However, she had no intention of going out and looking for it.

Anyway, the special test is a relative evaluation. If the test ends like this, Kim Young-han can finish in 3rd place. She didn’t have to create a variable.

Of course, Kim Young-han’s team had more than 80 people, and Lee Ho-yeon had a total of 4 Ellis, Lucy, and Rumi, so the difference was 20 times by simple calculation.

Even if a battle breaks out, there is a high chance of winning, but she doesn’t want to risk it.

It could be eliminated in a blind attack, and there could be a situation where Lee Ho-yeon harbors ill feelings toward Kim Young-han.

By the way… There was a problem because I gathered too many cadets below the level.

“Let’s go catch Lee Ho-yeon!”

“Let’s go, let’s go~ Let’s go reverse status!”

“Does he wear three women even in the exam? He really kills them with all his might.”

The boys were making a fuss about going to catch Lee Ho-yeon.

‘Why is it that I’ve endured for six days and now it’s a mess?’

It is nominally a team gathered to steal Lee Ho-yeon’s food, but with only one day left, the meaning has faded.

It means that you don’t have to take the risk of being eliminated by inciting a fight.

However, she had a fact that Kim Young-han did not know.

Surprisingly, there are many cadets at the academy who don’t pay much attention to grades.

In any case, middle and lower cadets are treated similarly. They were cadets who did not even think about entering a high-ranking guild and just wanted to get a diploma and use it later.

Of course, there were many such cadets in the current Kim Young-han team. The quality of the cadets has declined as everyone they see has been accepted into the team.

In addition, as the number of people increased, the difficulty of survival also decreased. ‘It’s a waste to have endured so far, so let’s just end it like this.’ The number of cadets who thought the same also decreased.

The remaining hope is the female cadets, but even the female cadets took a wait-and-see attitude at Da-eun Nam’s sudden remark.

“I’ll take over Lee Ho-yeon.”

It was because Nam Da-eun, who had been quiet all this time, promised to entrust her Lee Ho-yeon to me.

“Haha… Those stupid bastards.”

Kim Young-han lowered her head, holding her brow to her throbbing hair.

“Captain! Let’s go and kill Lee Ho-yeon!”

The guy who was always talking next to Kim Young-han was the same guy.

“…Yes. I don’t know. Let’s go.”

If I stay still here, the arrow of dissatisfaction may turn against me, who has accumulated points as a representative so far.

Furthermore, the image built up at the academy could be damaged. Later, when he announced that he was the successor to the Iron Blood Guild, he was working hard to manage his image so that the beautiful story that came out naturally, but that effort may be in vain.

Kim Young-han had no choice but to head toward the center of the island toward Lee Ho-yeon.

Professor Han’s lab.

Award decorations, commendation letters, and research achievements decorated on the walls spoke of Professor Lee’s brilliant past achievements.

However, if you look closely, it was also a material that speaks of the fact that she is a professor who has not made any noticeable achievements in the past 10 years.

In Professor Noh’s lab, a man in a cadet uniform and Professor Noh were talking.

“Professor. I’m Shin Dong-min. I’m the vice president of the student council. Will I just lose to the freshman? Just to be sure.”

“… Hey, are you saying that you know what kind of repercussions will happen if this gets caught?”

The data Shin Dong-min was presenting was a request to manipulate the field of friendly matches during the festival.

“You don’t have to get caught. If you’re a professor, it’s possible.”

“How did this happen? In first grade, you were a smart kid who was expected by everyone…”

“Professor, you will be retiring soon, so you need to make plans for the future.

Shin Dong-min smiled lightly and made eye contact with Professor Noh.

“…”

Seeing that gaze, Professor Noh didn’t say anything and quietly pulled his data toward him.

“Then let’s go. Please take care of it.”

Shin Dong-min, whose mouth was raised, came out of the professor’s office with his head lowered.

Shin Dong-min got out of the building and walked for a while before his expression crumpled.

“Tsk. You’re an old man like a raccoon. Do you think you’ll be able to join Shinyoung since you’re already rotten trash?”

Shin Dong-min felt a bit uneasy about Lee Ho-yeon’s powerlessness after watching the one-on-one duel, but now he’s relieved.

No matter how good your skills are, it’s a battle between a fire magician and a water magician.

The matchmaking is also advantageous, and the arena will be decided by a small buoy in the middle of the sea.

“Wait a little bit. It’s buggy…”

Shin Dong-min put his hand in his pocket, confident of his victory.
