128 – Academy Competition_15
I don’t think they will stop even if we issue a warning.
The cadets were held hostage, so they would hesitate, but it was clear that they would be freed in less than half a day.
Also, even though Ella is big and the power unit can’t come, the entrance is fine.
If there was only one arrival point at the entrance, it could have been blocked, but that wasn’t the case, so the enemy’s arrival was predestined.
I know that too.
Even so, the skill was released and the surveillance camera announced that the incident had occurred here.
She ordered that she hide a small clue in Beverly Hills, so if she investigated hard, the eyes of the case in Beverly Hills would soon be induced to focus on this place.
The reason was very simple.
Because I was confident that I could subdue most of the cadets in Ella before they came.
Because the real goal can be hidden only when the case becomes a hot topic.
It was an opportunity to obtain quality blood and goods.
In the first place, no matter who came, the one who eventually won on this island was because I was confident that I would be one.
This is not to say that victory is won by force.
Time is on my side.
That’s why I made a fair declaration.
“I will also tell you the next location. Catch them all.”
I gave orders to Villain Hayato and his party, notifying them of the locations of other academies identified in advance by teleportation, excluding the Laplace Academy.
“Ah, by all means, be sure to capture the man named Adam alive. You just have to chase after the woman named Eve and let her go.”
History is made at night.
Things are not even on track yet.
**
At first, I decided that although an unexpected situation had occurred, it could be rectified quickly.
An elite team was sent to search, and all available personnel were mobilized.
Those who participated in the competition are called excellent, but they are still students, but they are still cadets.
It was because they judged that those who were excited by their pride could not escape from the eyes of the elite in their own right.
But it didn’t take long to realize that it was a mistake.
The number of cadets who broke and dropped out continued to increase, but no one was able to recover it.
It was because all the traces, including the footprints, were suddenly cut off as if they had been teleported.
‘I should have stopped the match even then…’
Alex was in a bad mood.
He just insisted on being small because he didn’t want to treat it as a small thing and let his hero career fail.
I am not denying my mistakes.
But it wasn’t something like this that would make it any bigger.
Couldn’t they be related to unknown villains?
Obviously no one entered the entrance other than the cadets, but I had no idea what had happened.
‘Was it hidden beforehand? Or disguised as a cadet? Come to think of it, the camera was dark, so I couldn’t see anything except for the masked guy, but there were at least dozens of villains, so I’m sure…’
However, it is too late to regret it now.
What we need to do now is to settle things smoothly so that there are no victims.
And if possible, they had to cover up their own mistakes and put the blame on the person who manages the entrance.
As far as I know, there are no victims, only hostages.
If the results are good somehow, and if things are resolved smoothly, even if you are disciplined, you will not be disqualified as a hero.
From now on, how to pack was important.
“Whoa.”
Alex took a deep breath.
Then he knocked lightly on the door in front of him.
“This is Alex. May I come in?”
Then the door swung left and right and opened.
Innumerable eyes pouring at the same time.
Indescribable pressure weighed down on Alex.
‘Kuk…’
The feeling of blood flowing backwards inside.
However, Alex stepped inside the door with a calm expression.
There were desks arranged in an n-shape inside the door. On the left, there were officials from the academy, and on the right, there were LA officials who rushed to the right.
And in the center of the desk was an old man who was familiar to Alex.
From noble mtl dot com
‘Who… I can’t believe it.’
It was different from the clothes you usually see on TV, but Alex was able to immediately realize who the old man was through the huge mana that radiated softly behind his huge physique and benevolent impression.
‘Paladin…’
One of the 10 S-class members of the Holy Empire of America.
12Th in the Hero Ranking.
Although he is a healer, not a martial artist, he is the protagonist who left many legends, such as crossing the Atlantic Ocean with his bare body and cutting off part of the Rocky Mountains with a simple fist, repeating his physical training just like a martial artist.
A monster recognized by Kwon Seong, the pinnacle of martial arts in the 17th Federation of China.
“Then it seems that everyone has come. Let the story begin.”
He opened his mouth.
And then Alex realized that he was doing something wrong.
What kind of person is a paladin, who would reveal himself in a terrorist incident like this?
It was clear that this case was probably more serious and more serious than Alex judged.
In addition, I could roughly predict why the officials in LA rushed to the scene with an urgent expression.
It was said that the villains on the island in the sky were related to the case in Beverly Hills that the LA state was chasing recently.
‘Damn it.’
Now, it should not be seen as a case of kidnapping a cadet of a simple villain organization.
“Hero Alex. Quickly explain the situation and talk about the ongoing measures.”
Mana continued to oppress Alex.
However, despite clenching his teeth, Alex struggled to open his mouth.
If you show a more disappointing figure here, it doesn’t just end with disqualification as a hero.
Because of the crime of aiding and abetting and other matters, he was branded as a criminal and was about to be taken to the underground of the Holy Empire, which confined criminals.
“Yes, let me… explain the situation.”
An hour has passed since an unknown villain organization attacked Ella, an island in the sky.
That’s how the hostage rescue operation meeting began.
**
For Michael Academy, the match went smoothly as if riding momentum.
That’s also the case because the lower academies were going to form alliances or other academies’ plans for competitions had been obtained in advance, so it was safe to say that everything was in their hands.
I know everything, but how can you treat me?
In addition, Michael Academy chose the southern desert area as a place to stay.
Because it was a place where the perfect desert was realized thanks to magic, the temperature difference between day and night was wide and there were few places to stay, so there were no competitors at all.
However, since the same amount of goods and food was left in each area, it was only natural that everything was going smoothly.
Of course, as time goes on, the area gets smaller, so I know that I will eventually run into other academies.
However, since other academies played battle royale and they played survival games, the difference in consumed stamina and mental burden would be stark.
In addition, some academies have spies planted one by one.
The rumor that the plan was stolen in the first place was accepted through them, and they will encourage trouble.
Divide and rule.
The enemy is divided, but they themselves are not.
Compared to the fragmented others, they are integrated.
It was a cowardly method if it was cowardly, but there is nothing more efficient than this.
That’s why the Adam and Eve siblings, who were facing the leader, were confident of winning this matchup as well.
I did…
‘Why did it go wrong?’
Eve opened and closed her eyes several times at the incredible reality.
However, the reality did not change.
No, the reality was devastating.
“Ugh…”
“You guys know this is against the rules, right?”
“DAMN!!!”
In front of Eve’s eyes, blood splattered and people were dying.
This is just an event.
Whether it’s survival or battle royale, it’s just an academy-led event with a plausible name.
A little pride showdown.
Although there may be some cowardice.
It shouldn’t be like this.
“Calm down Eve!”
Adam grabbed Eve by the shoulder and shook her.
“Brother…”
Adam’s skills are stronger than anyone here.
I was hiding my skills, but my actual skills were close to that of a top-class B-class hero.
However, his body was covered in blood.
It was because no matter how good his skills were, he couldn’t block ten hands with one hand.
In addition, even when the enemies were attacked and their bones were broken and blood was pouring out, they did not shed a scream mixed with pain, but stood up and attacked like an immortal army.
“Run away.”
“But…”
“Eve, listen. It’s not just about running away. Report the situation here to other academies and the outside world and ask for help.”
Adam said urgently.
Then he turned around and repulsed the enemies who continued to charge.
– Boom!!
“Kuh…”
But that didn’t last long either.
Adam was in a situation where he shed quite a lot of blood, and it was because he had something to protect.
“Go quickly!”
Adam raised his voice and demanded.
Eve looked at Adam like that, hesitated, and eventually began to steal her tears and run away.
At that moment, a single sword shot was fired at Eve.
– Bang!
Adam struggled up and overpowered the man standing in front of him, took his sword and quickly blocked it.
“Ha… Yato… Why are you doing this?”
Adam looked at the man who fired the sword.
“Is that the meaning of Raiden Academy…?”
“…”
“You mean… You won’t answer?”
Under normal circumstances, defeating him would not be a problem for Adam.
But now it was impossible.
However, we had to wait.
I had to wait until his brother ran away and called for help.
Adam gripped the sword tightly.
“If you want to cross this road, you will have to go through it first.”
*
“Are you okay?”
How long has it been since you ran away to ask for help?
Eve came face to face with her familiar face.
