Grassland open in all directions.
There was one white flag there.
When someone touched the flag, the color of the white flag turned blue.
‘It means starting with a flag to protect from the beginning.’
It was necessary to divide the number of people who guard the flag here and the number of people who have to go to find the flag.
Naturally, the eyes of the students turned to Seongah.
‘It’s a matter of course.’
Perfect for writing, perfect for practical skills.
As he is the one who entered first with an unprecedented score.
As long as there were no class presidents or vice-presidents, Shin Sung-ah was the one who represented the first year.
However, she had her eyes on someone else.
The other students also moved their gaze from Sungah Shin to the one she was looking at.
This did not happen in the original.
‘Damn it… .’
A more serious problem than that is that the person whose gaze has moved is me.
Among those gazes is Yoo Hyeon-hwa’s jealous gaze at me.
For some reason, Kang Min-hyuk’s face was full of curiosity.
There was also Namgung-Ik, who was taking it for granted.
* * *
He was in the shadow of Shin Seong-ah, who set an unprecedented record of admission with a perfect score, but he was the second-ranked student.
Hanzo was a strong player who proved his skills through various incidents after entering school.
Although the attention was focused on what kind of strategy he would come up with.
The expression of Hanzo, who was the target of that gaze, was not very good.
“You really want me to decide?”
I asked a lot of questions, but there was no answer.
This was meant to be positive.
Hanzo is a sphere floating vaguely in the air.
After staring at the magic tool that acts as a camera for a while, he continued talking as if he couldn’t help it.
“after… . I get it right away Because it’s not that difficult. Instead, there is no overturning.”
Inside, Hanzo couldn’t hide his disquiet.
In the original work, the person who became the representative of the 1st grade was Shin Seong-ah.
She said she would defend this place, and told the others to spread out and find the flag.
‘It’s okay to find them scattered all over the place, but… .’
Hanzo was trying to do exactly what Shin Sung-ah said in the original story, but he wondered if it was necessary.
Things that deviated from the original work from the fact that Hanzo became the first year representative instead of Shin Sung-ah.
As long as there is no guarantee that all students will move according to the original even if they say the same thing as Shin Seong-ah.
Rather, Hanzo decided to plan the game so that it would be in the most favorable direction for himself.
“Here, Shin Seong-ah, it won’t be a problem if you protect it by yourself, but-”
“alone? Then I’m bored.”
“I’ll leave the other 1 trillion members behind. Are you fine?”
Group 1, which consists of Hanjo, Shin Sung-ah, Nam Gu-ik, and Han So-yul.
Although Chun Yu-Ran’s cold joke that told him to join Team 1 because he belonged to Han-Jo passed through his mind for a moment.
There was no laughter.
Continuing, Hanzo disassembled the personnel.
“From 2nd to 5th trillion are deserts. 6 to 10 are caves. Articles 11 through 15 are… .”
It seemed to distribute the number of people moderately, without any standard.
It was a personnel appointment made after considering various things in its own way.
There were many differences from the original work, such as Baek Yu-ri’s survival, so there was no guarantee that the original work would work.
He knew, at least roughly, what kind of personnel the sophomores had made in the original work.
After distributing the number of people in each group, I saw it.
There was not a single person in charge of the forest.
“Are you giving up on the forest?”
So someone has been asking
Hanzo replied as if he had been waiting.
“There is no reason to give up.”
“There is no one left.”
“Why is there no one left? I am still there.”
He is in charge of that huge forest alone.
It was so arrogant, but I didn’t feel any strangeness in the way he said it as if it were natural.

same time.
Even in the second year formation, explanations were being made under the guidance of the instructor in charge.
A girl in the front row.
Baek Yu-ri listened to the instructor’s explanation and recalled the bet he made with Hanzo.
‘At least the junior Hanzo I know never makes a bet that has no odds.’
The bet was only one drink, but Baek Yu-ri knew it well.
Hanzo hates losing.
A loser in the first place is a person who does not even start in the first place.
‘If it’s a fight that doesn’t have to be fought, I don’t hesitate to run away.’

Just like I evaded her pursuit during OT.
There is no word for ‘flight’ in Hanzo’s dictionary, and instead, ‘strategic retreat’ should have taken its place.
As she was thinking about that, the corners of her mouth went up involuntarily.
The instructor’s explanation was almost at the end.
“The 10 minutes given by the handicap are almost up. Do you know what will happen if you become a sophomore and lose to a first year?”
Some may think it’s only a year difference, but at this time, a year is worth a thousand gold.
The sophomores who have explored several dungeons since the beginning of the semester until now.
The grueling and grueling battle experience made them warriors, not students.
That’s why most sophomores didn’t worry about losing to a freshman who had just thrown off his freshman ticket.
“To show the dignity of a sophomore.”
Coincidentally, the instructor’s words were the same as Baek Yu-ri’s breakup with Hanjo.
2nd grade majesty.
Baek Yu-ri burned the will to fight, remembering Hanzo, the first graders who had entered the dungeon 10 minutes ago.
‘Like the other first years, they’ll be waiting for us inside.’
Entering the artificial dungeon prepared for the group exhibition. The open grassland area welcomed them.
A white flag like a tee in a jade was fluttering in the middle of the meadow.
Im Jin-wook put his hand on the flag with a faster step than others. The flag was dyed red.
The captains of each group gathered in front of the flag.
As always, it was Lim Jin-wook who spoke first.
“If we divide them into two groups and move, they will fall apart. Shouldn’t we move in groups like we always do?”
“If you calculate like that, even including the group to protect this place, there are three groups left?”
Baek Yu-ri asked Lim Jin-wook’s words.
He said with a warlike smile.
“I’m going to go hit the main camp.”
Im Jin-wook tried to move with the goal of thoroughly defeating the first graders.
I know that the level of this first year is so high that the term Golden Horseman comes out.
For Lim Jin-wook, there was only one enemy, Shin Sung-ah, who was not sure that he could win.
‘Excluding Shin Seong-ah, there is only one person, but there is a person who is reluctant… .’
Hanzo, a freshman who intervened to stop a commotion in the student cafeteria.
He was an unusual guy, as he was known for entering the second place after Shin Sung-ah.
‘Those dark eyes would be reluctant to think about it again.’
The moment he was about to draw his sword, he was stopped.
Until it came that close, it was unaware of the approach.
‘It’s true that I was careless, but even considering that, I wouldn’t have been able to even intervene with my normal skills.’
What would have been the outcome if they had fought as they were?
Looking back now, Im Jin-wook couldn’t come up with an accurate answer.
‘I mean, I have to educate that guy, who was in trouble at the time.’
Following Hanzo, Lim Jin-wook also thought of Anton Ivanov.
Unlike Hanzo, who had uncertain elements, Anton was an enemy whose victory was certain.
That is, based on half a year ago when the dispute took place.
“The main camp is me and Baek Yu-ri. And Chiron’s Joe breaks through. Any disagreement?”
There was no disagreement with Lim Jin-wook’s words.
Lim Jin-wook, Baik Yu-ri, Kiron. A dream team made up of strong players even in the second year, where three people sleep.
It was a bold appointment, but it was also a confident appointment.
“Shinseong, you just have to be careful with him. No matter how good he is, he is only an individual. There’s no need to worry though.”
The only thing the sophomores were worried about was Shin Seong-ah.
Shin Seong-ah was eliminated after fighting among the first graders before she even showed her skills in OT.
Some people thought that the rumors were exaggerated compared to her abilities, as there was no opportunity to confirm her skills until now.
Nevertheless, there was no disagreement about the fact that Shin Sung-ah was the first to be vigilant.
“It is our sophomores who win anyway. What matters is the process. It is how thoroughly you win.”
Im Jin-wook’s arrogant words, who do not even think about defeat.
However, most of the other sophomores were thinking the same way.
With the exception of the three groups headed for the main camp, the second-year students who quickly completed the selection of the remaining groups immediately revealed their actions.
“Are we a forest? I have these two people. It will end easier than the other groups.”
There were two groups running towards the foggy forest.
In one of the two groups, the representative couple of the 2nd year, Hanjo and Namgung-ik played against each other in the past.
Romeo and Juliet belonged.
They had no idea what was going to happen in the future.
I walked on my own into the fog where I couldn’t see an inch ahead.
* * *
I stopped Namgoong-Ik’s offer of help and headed for the forest alone, as I had declared at the beginning.
When I came to see it in person, the forest felt wider than what I had checked on the map.
It would take quite a while to find the flag alone.
‘When I have time, I should do the bottom work first.’
I forgot to look for the flag, and set off smoke bombs as I wandered through the woods.
Although the smoke grenade that Hanzo originally had was not an ordinary item.
What I’m using now is an improved version of it.
The performance is incomparable to the previous one.
‘As expected, it’s Eleanor’s special smoke grenade.’
Not long after, a thick smoke began to rise, filling the forest.
Soon, the smoke became fog, so thick that it was impossible to see an inch ahead.
‘Because it’s easier to fight this way, and I don’t want my picture taken.’
Even the magic tool that was filming inside the artificial dungeon wouldn’t be able to properly follow my figure hidden in the fog.
It’s not real fog, but it’s just a smoke screen, so there’s a little problem with the maintenance time.
Eleanor was confident that she could easily maintain it for half a day.
I’ll be able to hold on until the group exhibition is over.
Maegu, who rose from the end of the handle, said while appreciating the scenery of the forest covered in smoke.
[It’s a dark forest because of the densely grown trees. With the addition of the fog, a perfect environment has been created for you to fight.]
“Considering that it’s midday, even this much makes sense.”
[I thought he would be reluctant to fight in a public place like this because he hates revealing his hand. Unexpectedly, he is active in battle.]
“It is, but. I’m starting to want to challenge myself to the next level.”
[Did you mean that this is just a stepping stone to make up for the lack of experience?]
