126 – Karma (2)
-Boom!
The magic bullet exploded and the screening test began, and the motivated cadets entered the first area, the forest, all at once.
The test aims to reach Areas 4 and 5, Valley of Death and the ruins of the Mage Tower, but in the end, scores are given and relative evaluation is made.
When a monster is defeated, a name or a boss is defeated, the score corresponding to the object is entered into the magic tool held by the party leader.
Of course, exploring the island freely in the midst of this is at the discretion of the cadets.
You can get additional points and supplies hidden in the academy all over the island. The higher you go, the higher your score will be.
To get a lot of points within the time limit, the key is to move quickly to the depths.
In the end, all 5 party members with the highest score are reported to each committee and become aspiring warriors.
This criterion is partially applied to second-seok parties and third-seok parties.
And Article 11. Edwin’s party was also crossing the forest following the lead.
The rearguard of this party. The girl right in front of Lev Denek,
Arya Bluebell remembered what had happened last night.
-Shall we go to your room?
– I like it. Aria… Heartily.
‘The Lev I know… ‘
For now, the priority is to focus on screening tests.
‘Before we leave… I thought you’d apologize.’
Aria has been looking at Lev for a long time a while ago, no.
She had been waiting for his apology since before that.
She gets her lips taken away by Lev for the first time, and when she returns to her room alone that night…
‘Bad person… bad. Bad… !’
She held back her tears as she swore she would never speak to him again.
However, it is different now.
She is also a colleague who has to go through the test together, and she can’t live with him forever.
So if you’re sincerely apologizing, that means you were reluctant to accept it.
But he
Right behind him…
He didn’t say anything to Arya.
However, it could not be seen as complete disregard.
-I’ll carry it… !
– Tup.
-…
By the time the road gets rough, Arya’s burden has been taken away…
Because she was considerate of those around her so that she could cast magic anytime.
Then,
“Aria, barrier.”
His low voice, which had been playing in his imagination, came from behind.
“…Yes?”
By the time Aria stopped her thoughts and returned to reality, it was already one beat late.
A raid of monsters. The battle had begun.
“Aria, wake up! Barrier!”
Following the instructions of the party leader, Edwin.
“Yes… yes!”
As Arya tries to concentrate her mind,
-Gureureung!!
Demonic beasts in the form of wolves with spiky black flame manes attacked Aria all at once.
“Wow!!”
It was at that moment that she closed her eyes tightly.
-Shook!
-Puchuwak!
– Khehehe!
Still expressionless, Lev quickly throws a dagger to make one guy retreat,
I grabbed the other one in reverse and stabbed the other one by the nape of the neck.
– Kyareuk!
However, he didn’t die in one blow, probably because he was the leader of the purple mane.
-Kwajik!
He just bit Lev’s hand, but
He frowned slightly and said,
-Poo-wook… !
– It’s broken…
Within seconds, the guy’s breath was completely cut off.
– Took.
“Are you okay?!”
“Rev… ! Aria!”
Edwin and Yeriel, who were in the front, killed the rest and approached the two.
“It’s okay.”
“Okay… is.”
In the moment, thinking about something else, I couldn’t do what I was supposed to do as a healer.
As a result, Lev, who was at the back, was injured.
“No matter how early it is, focus on it! Lily works so hard too.”
“Lily is right. Because Arya is the only healing class. We will try to keep it as best we can, but… “
“I’m sorry everyone.”
“… “
As if Lev was nothing, he took out a bandage and wrapped it around his hand.
Seeing this, Arya cautiously approached him.
“The treatment… !”
“You don’t know what the situation will be, so save your holy power first. Once the base is decided, let’s do it at once.”
“Yes…”
* * *
When we came down to the stream in the forest,
– Tiding!
I heard a magical power amplifying voice.
-Article 3. I judged that it was impossible to proceed further, so I will wait at my seat, so please send a guardian this way.
It’s been a few hours since the test started,
The first elimination group decided by the cadet committee was called.
“Already?”
“Because it started pretty quickly with 3 pairs… Being the leader, there must have been many battles.”
After listening to this in silence, I stopped the party when a large rock appeared.
“Let’s make this our base for today.”
Then, the lieutenant of the team, Lily and Edwin, who were in charge of the front, asked me at the same time.
“Eh? Lily, aren’t you tired yet?”
“That… Rev… Isn’t it too early to decide on a campsite already?”
I slowly explained to the four of you.
“From Area 2, the reed field, the concentration of magical pressure in the atmosphere increases. After all, if you want to rest, you have to stay in one place for a long time. I think it would be better to do as much maintenance as possible here at the end of District 1.”
Thankfully, everyone listened to me in silence.
“Besides, isn’t it the first time that everyone is spending a night outdoors?”
“Right, Lily Excited!”
“Yes.”
“So you need to get used to it. Darkness comes quickly in the forest, and today we need more time because we have to distribute our roles.”
“What about roles?”
This time, Yeriel answered Edwin’s question instead of me.
“Are you in charge of meals and night shifts? And setting up a space where everyone can rest is also a job.”
“Yo-ho-ho!”
Then, Lily gave her head a big nod, and she said with more pride in herself.
“As expected, Rev! This Lily is not the man she chose for nothing!”
I said to Lily while removing the fallen leaves from her slightly oversized activewear.
“From now on, Edwin will search the area. You just need to check for anything dangerous. And the four of us will be split into two to cook and set up the tent.”
“Yes!”
“Okay.”
.
.
.
“This is how it works.”
As a result of drawing lots,
Yeriel and Lily are cooking food.
Aria and I were in charge of setting up the tent.
“I’ll do it slowly with a light but hearty dish… !”
“Ugh… Lily wants to be with Lev..”
“Come on, don’t do that, Lily… ! Please take good care of me!”
“Yeah~”
Yeriel smiled broadly at me and disappeared away with Lily.
It sounds like you are telling Aria to have a good conversation and reconcile.
-Puk… Hooked!
As I silently began to choose the floor for the tent, Arya came towards me.
“Give me your hand.”
“Oh, it’s okay. Save your divine power… “
“Please.”
When I reached out at the cold tone, Arya flinched for a moment and then lightly touched her hand.
-Charah.
Arya’s hand trembled as she cast her healing magic.
Treatment is completed within
“Thank you.”
Arya raised her head slightly at my thanks.
“I will keep an eye on you from now on.”
“Yes, keep an eye on it as much as you can.”
“Watching, not monitoring… no see. Because I was distracted and couldn’t fulfill my responsibilities.”
As I nodded her head and headed the other way,
Arya followed me to see if she wanted to continue the conversation with me.
– Puff!
“Well, you said you would take revenge for me, right?”
“Yes, I did.”
“So, I’m just trying to help prevent any problems from happening. As a party member. It has no other meaning.”
“As expected, Arya is nice.”
“… “
In my chanting praise… Her movement stopped.
“… Is that all?”
“… ?”
“What Mr. Lev will tell me.”
“… “
“… Yes.”
Arya continued her speech with her fist slightly clenched.
“The one I know, the one I came to like… ! It’s not like this… “
“… “
“Are you trying to distance yourself from me because of Yeriel? If that’s the case, feel free to tell me! Just because the relationship between Mr. Lev and his colleague is enough… !”
Why are you so kind? Arya is.
“So badly, please don’t play someone I don’t like… “
“Aria.”
“…?”
“Revenge for Andras… Are you sure?”
“… Yes?”
“I’m not afraid, but will you promise me?”
“What… ?”
“If you encounter Andras, make sure to suffocate him so that he can be completely annihilated.”
“I don’t know what you mean…”
“I will ask you with your hand.”
Arya avoided my gaze and spoke anxiously.
“… Go, why are you telling me that all of a sudden?”
“… Please.”
“If you don’t tell me why… I can’t promise you.”
“…… “
Arya’s determined expression.
Now… Can not help it.

[Remaining time: 66 hours 30 minutes 14 seconds (counting starts when the quest pops up)]
I struggled to open my tightly closed mouth.
“Arya, it may be hard to believe, but listen to me.”
“…?”
Then, cover your eyes and forehead with your hand, and confide.
“… Archdemon Andras is dead.”
“……Yes…?”
I appealed only for the truth with a trembling voice.
“I want him… I killed him.”
