224 – Raid (1)
Brawls are famous as fun events in Soul World.
Typically, a team battle involves two teams fighting each other, but a brawl, as its name suggests, involves three teams fighting each other.
You may wonder if this is actually useful for evaluation, but it is quite useful. First of all, it has the uniqueness of being a melee.
Quick situational judgment, action to implement it, and finally, improvisation to overcome the crisis.
Since you can also target EJ here, you can evaluate it from various perspectives.
This means that there is no need for teams to fight among themselves. You can just watch other teams fight.
‘It’s a very in-depth event.’
In actual history, more precisely in war, this has been accomplished countless times.
The first world war was where it got too serious. A war that broke out in a relationship where people bit each other.
Of course, brawls are not political, but battles that take place in real time. All you have to do is fight as you see fit.
As a result, situations like fisherman’s situation, not Lee’s, often occur.
But if you stay stuck and don’t fight, your score goes down, so it’s much better to fight.
“I explained the rules last time, but I’ll say it again. Five people are randomly assigned to the brawl. Also, even if you are eliminated, you have a total of three chances.”
Before the brawl began. Marlboro explained it to us as we waited in a place that resembled a locker room.
The characteristic of a brawl is that although there is 1 vs 1 vs 1, you are given three chances. Therefore, there is no need to save yourself.
“Of course, this is only when you become conscious. If you don’t become conscious all day, your chance ends that day.”
“If I lose consciousness, does the shield automatically refill?”
“That’s right. Just do as you always did. Besides, there’s no need to worry even if it’s a brawl. Except for our team, everyone else is enemies.”
Malboro is right. There is no need to think about it in a complicated way just because it is a brawl.
Except for my team, everyone else is enemies. If enemies fight, that’s fine, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t.
I just enjoy it slowly like I always do. The only thing I’m worried about is Erica.
She
Of course she doesn’t have her fighting skills, but she needs to keep an eye on how to support her.
“Professor. You said earlier that you will be selected at random, right?”
“Okay. Do you have any questions?”
“So, are you saying that there is a very high probability that the top five people will rush out?”
One student raised his hand and asked. It’s not an entirely impossible story.
But Marlboro shook his head and denied it. Even if it’s random, it doesn’t come out that way.
“No. Depending on the probability, there is a high possibility that the bottom tier will be selected first. Occasionally, the top tier will appear, but it is extremely rare. If that happens…”
“If so…?”
Marlboro spoke after her in a serious tone. Thanks to this, everyone looked at him with nervous expressions.
Just as the serious atmosphere was about to subside, Marlboro chuckled and made a joke.
“I guess I should buy a lottery ticket or something.”
“Yes?”
“If the odds were that high in the first place, the Academy would have recognized the problem. Did they really overcome the extreme odds? I don’t want to write a review.”
The awkward atmosphere was relieved by Marlboro’s joke. If that were to actually come true, it wouldn’t end as a statement.
Or you might write another symposium because of me. Because of the nature of brawls, unexpected things can happen.
Still, I plan to be considerate of myself. Even if you get hit hard, you can still survive.
“Lastly, the top five people will be selected one by one, so please know that.”
“?”
Was there a rule like that originally? I tilted my head because I couldn’t quite remember.
I wasn’t sure, but it wasn’t that important, so I skipped it.
[The game starts in 10 minutes. Students, please prepare quickly.]

An announcement rang out in the locker room. It looks like it’s starting to start slowly.
When the broadcast rang, Marlboro left after leaving a few words of congratulations. The fight is now in our hands.
“But isn’t this a huge advantage for us?”
“Of course. One is a monster, and the other is a barbarian. We got the answer.”
“They say they are not barbarians, but Tatars. And then their tongues are pulled out.”
As soon as Marlboro left, a friendly(?) Atmosphere flowed. It looks like he is already drunk with victory.
The monster label refers to me, and anyone who sees a barbarian refers to it as Kara. But can’t we speak quietly?
At least Kara no longer felt moved by being called a barbarian. I thought it was because I was mentally mature and moved on.
“I don’t pull out my tongue. Why am I treated like that?”
Instead, it seems unfair. I did something that had such a big impact that it seems to have affected Kara as well.
She also has the determination to pull out her tongue the moment she speaks carelessly. It’s just that we can’t do that because we’re in a civilized world.
But it’s unfair that she was treated like that even though she didn’t do anything. I felt a little sorry.
“Hmm… Isn’t it because of the image? My sister also said that she had as many accidents as Shiva in the past.”
“Ha. I’m angry, but I have nothing to say.”
Kara laughed heartily at Luna’s factual violence as if it was absurd.
Instead, seeing her fists clenched, it seems like she wants to hit Luna on the head.
Or pull out her tongue. Sometimes, Luna’s muzzle simply brought out her facts, leaving her speechless.
“But you don’t know the situation inside here, do you?”
Luna looked around her and asked a question. In a space similar to a locker room, there is only an entrance.
There was no device or anything that showed the inside situation. There really is only an entrance.
“I guess so. The only way is to see it with your own eyes…”
“Hmm? Now that I think about it, where have Master Karas and Princess Dan Yerin gone?”
While Grace was worrying, Luna, who had finally realized her strangeness, looked around her.
In reality, there were no two people in the locker room. The reason is very simple.
“That’s because they are transfer students. They haven’t been ranked yet.”
“Ah. I see.”
“You’ll be watching from the stands by now.”
Because Karas and Dan Ye-rin are transfer students, they cannot attend the brawl.
It may seem like it violates fairness, but it is actually better. Otherwise, the other side will also be in trouble.
It’s okay up to Dan Yerin. However, Karas is mentioned as the next emperor of the Matra Empire.
It would be awkward in many ways to touch that person, so it would be better to leave him out.
“It’s guaranteed to be fun. I wonder if team play is possible.”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult? Honestly, it’s difficult for the class to unite.”
As Grace said, it will be difficult to unite the class. I’m sure everyone will survive.
Until just a few days ago, each person was a competitor, but now they are uniting?
This makes no sense in common sense. However, this does not mean that there are no areas of concern.
‘Your attention may be drawn to Kara unintentionally.’
This happened in Soul World. Kara is perfect for standing out both in terms of looks and skills.
Besides, unlike our class, other classes would still treat her as a savage.
Therefore, there will not be cases where her power will be concentrated on Kara.
‘It’s just racism.’
It’s all unnecessary and close to racism. The intention is to deal with the barbarians first, as she has superior skills.
It is doubtful whether it will proceed in that format this time as well. If possible, I want people to focus their attention on me.
Even if she is not attracted to Kara, it is okay. If Kara is mass-lynched, she will be disciplined by the academy as well.
‘After the scuffle, favorable views toward the Tatar people increased.’
Racism is a tragedy when seen from a distance and a tragedy when seen up close. And soon, you will be able to see that scene clearly.
I want to stop that. If history goes as it should, Kara will suffer quite a bit of damage.
No matter how mentally mature you are, a wound is still a wound. Even strong people are often vulnerable to emotional wounds.
Beep!
[The game starts in 5 minutes. The rankings to be selected are…]
It looks like the game is about to start. The designated personnel stood up and warmed up.
Thank goodness I and my acquaintances were not called. It’s hard to leave from the beginning.
[The game begins.]
Soon, the closed entrance opened and the called people came out. There were only 5 people missing, so it didn’t feel empty.
“It goes out every 10 minutes, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s just warm up until then. If you make a mistake and get a cramp, you’ll have a headache.”
At Kara’s suggestion, we decided to do some warm-up exercises before going. I didn’t really need to do anything, but I got up quietly.
As we warmed up, the others noticed and got up from their seats. There’s no need to do that.
That was when I finished warming up for 10 minutes.
Beep!
[Please allow the following people to enter. The ranking is…]
There has been no top ranking yet. Still, I have to be nervous because I don’t know when I will be called up.
In particular, I have a higher chance of being selected than Kara. When it came to rankings, she and Kara were first.
[Please enter the following people. The ranking is 1st.]
No. How can the number one jump out right away?
As everyone knows, the top student in our class is Kara. An overwhelming first place finisher as there were no accidents.
“What. Is it me? Really?”
“Sure.”
“If our side gets first place, the opponent also gets first place, right?”
“That’s probably not true. It’s completely random.”
“Oh, by the way. I’ll come back.”
Even though Kara was shaking, she went outside with the other people.
[Please enter the following people. The ranking is 5th.]
“?”
But it came out right after Kara. I checked the rankings again.
I am definitely in 5th place. A ranking obtained by deducting the points earned.
“I won.”
“You won.”
“I won.”
People seemed to think they had already won when I was called.
I was dumbfounded because it seemed like he was overestimating me, but since he had shown me something along the way, I thought it was okay and moved on.
Then, when I stood at the entrance with the others, Luna hinted from behind me.
“Shivar.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t do it alone too much. Then other people won’t get points.”
“··· ···”
Are you worried about me or are you worried about your score?
Luna Due to her personality, it is most likely the former, but she is truly amazing. How can he say something that causes misunderstanding?
Even though she was a little embarrassed, I took it easy because she was worried about her. First of all, the important thing now is the brawl.
What is the situation inside? Although Kara is strong, there is no business in Daguri.
‘I guess it’s still okay, right?’
I walked quickly toward the exit. The closer I got, the more I heard a loud noise coming from outside the exit.
Next, just as I was coming out of the dark passage, there was one unfortunate mistake.
‘Ah. Right. Weapon.’
I forgot to bring my weapon. Normally it would have been in the locker room.
It was too difficult to go back like this, so let’s just pass. You can do it well even with bare hands.
When I finally reached the exit and got out, I started looking around. The background appears to be a rocky area.
‘Where is Kara…’
I had no choice but to stop and look for Kara.
“Come in! Come in, you bastards! Come in!!”
“Hey! What are you doing if you’re not going!”
“You go first! Why are you pushing my back!”
Kara was filming the Shinsegae elevator scene alone.
As we had feared, they are being attacked as a group, cornered against a rock wall.
It looks like Kara showed off her skills and attracted all the aggro.
How much of an uproar would it have been to cause other teams to collude and launch a group attack?
Although there were racist remarks interspersed, it was close to provoking Kara.
“Um…”
I looked at the scene from a distance and held out her finger.
I don’t know about Kara, but she was very tasty. Instead, her output should be lowered as much as possible.
Wooow-
Soon, it was time to shoot the red magic that had gathered at the tip of my finger.
“No!!”
“?”
As if they had sensed something in advance, someone shouted at me.
I was so surprised by the sound that I had no choice but to adjust the zero point strangely.
Kwakwang!!
The death beam was fired somewhere else and exploded magnificently.
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
A dead silence fell in the stadium.
I unintentionally attracted aggro.
