7. Joint Combat Test (4)
7. Joint Combat Test (4)
Irina Blood, who wore her long muffler up to her nose and covered half of her face, leaned against her tree and watched the party members while thinking about her.
ㅡ’This, Ms. Irina! That’s it, what are you talking about! Woros is Irina’s family! Um, but garbage?’
ㅡ’That’s because I don’t know Woros! I also recently discovered it. His great talent. I don’t know why he goes to school hiding his talent… ‘
ㅡ’My, what do I know about Woros so well? That… Having said that, I have nothing to say… ‘
Not long ago, Marina May, an alchemy professor from the Shaiza class, came to visit. She came to ask about my blood family, the Woros Blood. She didn’t even know if Irina was alive or dead in the raid that day, so she only knew if he was alive or dead after hearing Marina’s words. Deep down, I thought Woros wasn’t dead.
Of course. It was because there was no way the heir of the Blood family would die in an attack of that magnitude. However, there is only one reason why they returned after making a low-level attack.
‘Were the rumors false?’
In the family, the Warros Blood is incompetent. It was because he wanted to confirm the rumor that he had concluded with a lump of luggage and that he was a failed student in the academy. In fact, he may have wished that Woros Blood died from that level of attack. No i thought so As rumored, Woros had to be a failing student. He shouldn’t have been able to use his hand or foot in such a low-level raid.
“In the end… That’s how it happened.”
Irina chewed over and over again what Marina May had said of her. Worth went to school hiding his talent, she said. Hidden talent. At the word talent, Irina bit her teeth. Irina Blood hoped that Woros would be the man he was rumored to be.
“… After all, even though you had the power, you didn’t take me out of the family, brother.”
Irina squeezed the handle of the dagger wrapped around her thigh. According to Marina May, Woros Blood also participated in this joint battle. I’m going to check this out for sure. I mean, what is his talent?
Irina wished that Woros had an obscure talent. Only then will he be weak, and he will not be able to save himself from the cursed Blood family. If I attack him with all my might and he can’t overcome me, he won’t be able to save me because he’s weak.
It has to be. If it wasn’t for that, my brother would have abandoned me. My brother said he couldn’t save me because he lacked strength, he shouldn’t have abandoned me. So he must check it out. On Woros’s neck. If you stick a knife through her heart, you’ll find out what the truth is.

Zone 4 Melgard Class Survival Training Grounds.
In the survival training ground, which has been left untouched except for some parts, there is a wide forest and a large river. The forest is lined with buildings and caves that reproduce artificially created ruins. There was only one reason why the academy created such a structure.
For training. It reproduced the den of monsters occupied by monsters as it was. And in this joint battle, magically reproduced monsters will be summoned to each monster’s den.
“So, our goal is to subdue that monster and acquire the loot. All loot is converted into points. And… “
Lerry Xia pauses her words and opens her mouth as she looks at her freshman, Lin Len.
“Joint combat is also a test to check the skills of the first year. That’s why upperclassmen participate in exams. It is to evaluate things like how well you lead the party and how much you devote to the party. For that reason, I will hand over the party leader to either Ren or Rin.”
Lerisha says so, and she hands Rin the magical sphere given to the party leader. After receiving her magic orb, Rin must be impressed that she was given something of her own by the princess, so she straightens her back and starts shaking her body.
“That, don’t be so nervous! I told you. Please treat me like a normal senior.”
“Yes, yes!”
“This test also includes person-to-person combat. It’s a story that you can rob another party’s score. I’ll leave this magic ball to Rin. Since it is a test to test the skills of first-year students, it is a rule to hand the magic sphere to the first-year student. Then, the two of you should discuss it.”
Rin used her magic orb as a necklace and put it around her neck. Ren, who had been watching it, frowned at her.
“Hey! Why are you hanging it around your neck?”
“Yeah, it’s because the princess entrusted me with the party.”
“No, he said to discuss it—”
“Webbebebebe~”
The heroine Lin covered her ears and closed her eyes. Her male protagonist, Ren, is about to say something to her, but then sighs and turns her back on her. Seeing the chemistry between the male and female leads is something fresh in itself.
“Then, let me explain the basic formations.”
Saying that, Leri Sha approaches Rin and begins her grandiose explanation. In the game, starting from this episode, the ability to form a party is unlocked, and Lerisha gives a tutorial like now. She never dreamed that she would hear the tutorial comment in real life.
From noble mtl dot com
“My specialty is swordsmanship. And Blaine-senpai here is Arisha-type elemental magic. You mainly use the freezing attribute.”
“I am honored that you remembered me. Princess.”
“… And the Woros Blood here… Hmm… therefore… that is… “
Lerry Shah tries to explain me, but she puts her hand on her forehead and thinks. I’m at a loss as to how to introduce myself. Rin only tilted her head at Lerisha’s behavior.
“I am Woros Blood. I am confident in assisting party members with an item made with alchemy. Besides that, I know how to use lightning magic a little, and I know how to handle a little dagger.”
“You are a party member assistant. If so, what about Jinhyung!”
Lynn organizes the party as she thinks. Her warrior Lerry Shah and Ren are at the front. And I’m in the middle, and the two wizards are in the back. It’s a formation that seems to ask me to look behind me and help the party.
“Ren, please take care of me. As I said before, this test is to test the skills of first-year students, so I won’t take it unless I have to.”
“Yes, four! I’ll try my best. Princess!”
Ren was very nervous in front of Larisha. This relationship was the same in game. Even after clearing the game and riding Lerisha’s route, the atmosphere is like this. But when it was just the two of us, it was really fun to see the opposite situation.
“Uh, the magic sphere… what?”
At the voice of her party Zhang Lin, her eyes turned to her. The magic sphere was vibrating, so Rin was taken aback. This is a sign that the final waiting period is over and the exam has begun in earnest.

Whether it’s Rin or Ren, or whatever class they choose, the two main characters have great talent in their fields. Even so, the main character could never be the first year chief unless he entered the Shaiza class, which is unlocked from the second round.
The reason is because of the existence of ‘Slop Arogas’, who has the title of King of Destruction in Arisha, and ‘Irina Blood’, who has the title of Shadow Reaper in Melgard.
Who are Rin and Len? Aren’t you the main character? Depending on the class they choose, they will be hooked up right in this episode with Slop Arogas or Irina Blood. However, since there are now two main characters, and each has a different class, I had to think about being involved with the party the two characters belong to at the same time. Whether I think about it or not, the party just does what it’s supposed to do.
“Huh!”
Awesome!
Ren cut off the goblin’s head with a one-handed sword. As the decapitated goblin lay on the floor, the corpse disappeared into dust.
“Heo Eok, Heo Eok… “
“Ren, that was good swordsmanship.”
To the goblin that attacked from behind, Rin used That Rin had learned from her cramming and slammed her into the wall. Lerisha’s eyes narrow at her first year’s skills, which exceed her expectations. Now that we are attacking the Goblin Cave, most of the battles are left to the first year students, and when the number of goblins increases, Relisha and Blaine join in to help.
Unfortunately, I had nothing to do. After the battle, Blaine busily scribbles on her piece of paper. She’s probably doing a report on first graders. This is one of the reasons why 2nd and 3rd years participate in joint battles.
Educate first-year students on how a party works. To evaluate them. And by showing the skills of the 2nd and 3rd graders, it gives new stimulation to the 1st graders. Finally, to prepare for a dangerous situation, the seniors are included in the party.
Because of Lerisha, who noticed me not doing anything, I also took out a piece of paper and pretended to write a report. What I’m writing down on paper right now is the combination formula for making potions. Lerisha, who judged that I contributed something, didn’t glared at me anymore, heung! And turns her head.
“21 Points have been collected.”
“It’s the first grade contribution score. Even if the upperclassmen come out, the score will not change. When you reach 50 points and reach the goal, it’s over… If she gets greedy, she can earn a little more points. By the way, Princess Lerisha here scored 179 points last year… “
Blaine started to praise Lerisha. Lerisha blushes and bows her head, ashamed. She looks strong on the outside, but Lerisha is such a shy character. As she gazed at it, her eyes met Lerry Shah’s.
“What is it?”
“Nothing.”
Secondly, you subdued the Skeleton Soldiers stationed in the ruins. In no time, the score was 48 points. While exploring the ruins, I met another party twice. It was purely a first year student’s choice whether to battle the party next door and steal points.
Our party leader Rin and the other party leader seem to be pacifists in their own way, so they part ways without thinking about stealing points. In fact, there is no way for the first graders to know that the top spot will be decided in this test, so they must be thinking of just filling in the target score and finishing it.
When there is a battle between parties, except for the first year, who has a strong sense of victory, he usually does not point his sword at the upper class. Seniors are forbidden to touch first-years first, so the first-years battle each other. If the defeat deepened, they had to hand over the points and start from the beginning or surrender.
There was a big trick in this test in the game. A player deliberately attacks the seniors of the enemy party and forces the seniors to leave. Then, what about the upperclassmen who have higher stats than the main character? Princess Larisha von Meloyer stepped in and organized it.
So you won the battle with the upperclassmen? Points. I could have scored this way.
Lerisha was attached to the main character’s party, so it ended with only a small fire, but this joint battle is the best ever, a test in which upper-class students are defeated by first-year students. The reason for this is that there are two geniuses with a strong sense of self-importance, Slop Arogas and Irina Blood.
“I found it! Senior! I found the other person!”
“Slope! Stop! That’s too fast! Let’s stop! You have already exceeded your target score by far!”
“I still have a little bit of strength left!”
It was time to explore the ruins and come out. A muscular mage with red hair and a height approaching 190 was running straight ahead. After this joint battle, it was Arogas, a first-year wizard of Arisha’s class who would earn the title of .
I was well aware of Arogath’s next move, so I took a straight flask from my waist belt and opened the lid. As it is, Arogas strikes the protagonist with powerful destructive magic. Originally, an extra character who would participate in this place instead of me would protect the main character with protective magic and retire instead.
You shouldn’t intervene in a battle between first-years, but you instinctively use protection magic and get angry.
Since I participated instead of that character, I will at least pay for the meal. No, if I don’t stop this, I’ll get involved too.
“Lin! Wren! The opponent intends to start a fight. Don’t stand still, be ready to respond!”
Lerisha’s cry made Rin and Len stand up and look straight at Arogas. But it was too late. It was because Arogas had hit the ground with the tip of his staff that had accumulated magic.
Ugh!
Cracks begin to form in the ground, and the cracks move towards Rin and Len at terrifying speed. It is a magic developed by a slope called . Rin, who was caught off guard and staring blankly at Arogas, saw her opponent’s skill and realized that it was not serious, and Lerisha drew her sword.
I wasn’t alone either. She tossed the potion she was holding into the bottle at her twin’s feet. As the contents seep into the floor, grass begins to grow. Then the earth will swell.
“What, what! Rin, this way!”
As the ground swelled, Ren took Rin’s hand and stepped behind her. Rin and Len seem to be quite flustered at the current situation, but the most perplexing thing was the slope. The ground that should have been split suddenly swelled up, and nothing happened.
“What did you do?”
“What? We don’t do anything-“
“The white-haired senior over there other than you”
Interrupting Ren, Srop pointed at me. It was a slope machine that even the brain was made of muscle, and I was determined to protect the twins without getting caught by him as much as possible, but in the end it got caught.
I wanted to exercise my right to remain silent here. Is it a joke of fate? Or is it because of the main character buffs of Rin and Ren? This is because it was judged that now is not the time to pay attention to the slope.
Another party is approaching behind ours. A red-eyed woman with silver hair stood in the vanguard, holding a dagger.
“Brother, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
“Irina… “
In the game, you will encounter one of the two parties, Slop and Irina, but the named party has become two teams as if there were two main characters.
