127 – Academy Battle_14
The morning of the 4th day of the competition was mostly the same as the previous 3 days.
The only difference was that a small meeting was held.
Even though it was a meeting, it was just me and Kang Yoo-chan, the temporary leader.
“So you have to get out of the woods?”
Kang Yoo-chan asked back as if he didn’t understand.
That’s also because I brought up the word that I had to deviate from the plan abruptly, even though the professor was carrying out the work according to the plan.
“Not completely, but only for two or three days.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Wrong. I’m not trying to completely change the plan, but I’m talking about being flexible and improvising. Even seniors know it. That the situation is not very good right now.”
“Yes, but wouldn’t it be more dangerous to go off the beaten path? Besides, there is no proper reconnaissance data for other areas besides this one.”
Kang Yoo-chan shook his head as he talked about the element of anxiety.
He has the temperament of a model student whether he looks good or bad.
As a result, it seemed that he was reluctant to act beyond the set limits.
“Still, I think it’s better to move somewhere else than stay here.”
Because this forest was going to have a small incident in a little while.
But I can’t say that.
I put on a conciliatory smile.
“But…”
“Don’t you ever think that senior is strange?”
Still, as he hesitated, I rhymed appropriately to explain the reason.
“What is strange?”
“About the united attack of cadets from other academies that we haven’t met since the first day, or the cadets from other academies who attack again whenever there is a gap in our plans.”
“Isn’t that because you think Laplace Academy is a threat?”
In Kang Yoo-chan’s perception, Laplace Academy is always the academy that ranks first, so it seems that the union of other academies is natural.
Of course, he knows that Laplace Academy’s performance against the competition is low these days.
It was something that was done by a bunch of goofballs, and it was similar to the nuance of whether the enemy knew about it and did it to counteract since the top personnel in the individual war came like them.
“Of course there are things like that. But even so, it doesn’t make sense to find out where we’ve been hiding and keep attacking at the right timing from the first day.”
“It sounds strange after hearing it.”
“Isn’t it? So, I thought it was strange too, so I went out to reconnoiter for a while last night and asked to come back. Do you remember?”
“Oh, I remember. Why?”
Yuchan Kang searched through his memory for a while and then nodded as if he remembered.
“That’s when I got some interesting information.”
“Interesting information?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes. I was just scouting. A cadet from another academy passed by. So I hid and watched them. They said something like this. ‘I don’t know if the Laplace Academy cadets know about it, but their plans are all exposed’.”
“You got caught? How?”
Kang Yoo-chan made an expression that he did not understand.
“I don’t know about that.”
In fact, I knew from the beginning why I was caught.
It was because of the devices installed in the small meeting room.
But there’s no way to prove it right now, and if I said I knew it from the beginning, I could be treated like a spy, so I just glossed over it.
There was a bit of a lie in the evasiveness, but it wasn’t a lie at all, so there was no hesitation.
Laplace Academy must survive until the end without a single dropout.
It was my alibi and a way to raise awareness when I returned to the academy later.
“Really? So, is there any way to prove it? Maybe they were just talking nonsense. Changing plans based on uncertain information is risky.”
“That’s right, so I wasn’t sure, so I couldn’t tell you until now. It looks like there will be a way to prove it right now.”
I could feel the presence growing in the distance.
“How to prove?”
“If the enemy knew our plan, they would be targeting now. As you know, this morning…”
“This morning? If it goes according to plan, it’s dangerous to stay in one place, so it’s the day to move the hiding place.”
“Is that all?”
“Other than that, a few of the personnel headed towards the new hideout in advance to safely move the luggage…”
Kang Yoo-chan’s head shook as if she had been hit with a hammer.
It was then.
“It’s a red raid!!”
The voice of Park Gang-cheol, who was in charge of reconnaissance outside, resonated.
**
‘Retreat!’
After blocking one attack, the enemy retreated again.
However, the food that was collected was burned.
It wasn’t Issia’s fault this time.
Perhaps the enemy’s goal was food from the beginning.
It was difficult to face Laplace Academy, so it seemed like they were trying to compete with physical strength in a long-term battle by stealing food.
So when one of the cadets behind them succeeded in setting the food on fire, they ran away without looking back.
If I went like this, I would starve for the third day.
It wasn’t a problem for me because I normally use teleportation to eat well, but the other cadets weren’t.
In addition, it became clear that the plan was exposed to the enemies due to this incident.
‘I think Seong-hyeon’s plan leaked just like you said.’
‘Then…’
‘Yes, let’s finish the maintenance quickly and get out of this area.’
Kang Yoo-chan decided to move his place according to my words.
The target was the mountain area in the north.
West grassland area. The desert area to the south is difficult to hide, so it was a natural choice.
Of course, there are academies set up in the mountain area, so we bumped into each other a bit on the way.
‘Isn’t there nothing to be gained by fighting among ourselves?’
‘I don’t think so.’
‘So how about this? The number of remaining academies…’
Because there was still a lot of time left for the competition, and because we were well aware that it would be a loss to each other if we fought now, we succeeded in negotiating with someone who seemed to be the leader of another academy.
As I moved from place to place and farmed things on the way, the night fell before I knew it.
Everyone was exhausted and, except for the night watch, they fell into a hole in a cave-like place that they finally found.
After sneaking out of the cave, I put on the mask and robe I left in my hotel room using teleportation. He teleported again to the outskirts of the forest area where Hayato and others were waiting.
“Then let’s begin.”
I looked at the 20 villains lined up around me.
In the past, they might have been called academy cadets, but now they have become midday villains, and their faces are full of fear.
“Please charge.”
Otherwise, I calmly gave the order.
They tried to deny it, but without saying a word, their feet, hands, and bodies naturally obeyed my orders.
Although it was precisely Sarah’s order in my shadow.
After all, Sara’s orders were mine.
Anyway, the goal was to subdue the 3 academies in the forest area.
For this reason, Laplace Academy was induced to move to the mountain side, so there is nothing to shy away from.
Of course, Laplace Academy can face them from the beginning, but the main character comes out later, and there was an order in order to make a hero who stopped the villain.
“The goal is to capture alive, if not, you can kill it.”
As soon as I gestured appropriately, the villain started attacking the forest.
I followed suitably after them.
How long has it been since you entered the forest? Soon, screams and shouts began to ring out.
Army weapons collided and sparks lit up the sky.
“Kyaaah!”
“Quaaagh!!”
“Red raid!!!”
“Where is the academy!?”
“This is Vishnu Academy—”
The total number of people was 20 vs 30, but the villain side was holding a real weapon that I airlifted through teleportation, and the cadet side was holding a special magic tool for the confrontation.
“What? M…Isn’t that a tool?”
“What the hell are you doing…”
One has lethal power and the other has none.
Even with mana ability, there was a big difference in tools.
Blood filled the floor.
“These guys have no lasting. What the hell is this?”
“It’s against your rules!!”
“Why are you attacking the eliminated kid? Answer me!”
“Poison? Does not make sense…”
“Hayato, you did such a cowardly thing!!!”
In addition, since the judges showed dereliction of duty by not giving notice even though the dropouts were running around, the cadets were eager to break the end, thinking that a fair competition was still in progress, but Villain Hayato and his party did not.
So the result was as follows.
Cadet who died violently rebelling 5.
The half-death cadet 10.
Remaining 15.
On the other hand, Hayato and the others were seriously injured, but not even dead.
It was a great victory for the villain.
“Good job.”
I patted Hayato on the shoulder moderately.
– Awesome!
I heard the grinding of my teeth, but I ignored it and approached the cadets who were caught and restrained to the floor.
“I think everyone must have been taken aback by the event.”
They looked up at me with eyes full of fear as I approached, unknown to me.
“Who are you… why… did you…”
One of the cadets shook off his fear and asked with difficulty, breathing heavily.
“I don’t know who it is. Does a villain need a reason to do what he does? Still, if you ask me, it’s fun.”
Since there is nothing to say why, he answers in moderation.
“Only… for that reason, everyone…”
“It could be. Please be quieter than that. I’m not done talking.”
I kick a cadet who makes a lot of noise.
“Gagging…”
The cadet flew away, crashed into a tree, and passed out.
“Ummm, anyway, you guys were kidnapped. That is, hostages.”
I turned my head and looked at the surveillance camera on top of that tree.
“That’s why it’s dangerous to come here carelessly.”
And I warned those who might be watching this place.
