Episode 46 – I got caught.
46. I got caught.
Jiiiiing!
Magic power that sweeps over the entire body.
“······!”
Lucerne opened her eyes in complete surprise.
“Leon, Leon! ······Uh?”
His mouth opened stupidly as he reflexively shouted.
Pure white floor, wide black walls.
It was a familiar place.
“······Training room?”
“···Ugh, ugh.”
“Wow, the head…”
Around him, Class I cadets were seen holding their heads in a similar way.
“No…”
“If you are awake, please come outside!”
Lucen, who had been trying hard to deny it, accepted reality when he heard the assistant’s voice coming from the door.
“······It ended in vain like this?”
“No, f*ck…”
“What happened??”
The cadets who realized the situation also expressed their absurdity one by one.
Most of them did not notice the presence of the enemy until the moment they fainted.
“Last place is certain, damn it.”
“What!? “There was class A?”
“How on earth do they know… Uh, wait.”
The cadets took turns looking at each other and then finally noticed something strange.
“Why are you taking off your clothes?”
“Is that true for you too?”
“Huh, what the f*ck?”
Not the sportswear provided before the start.
I was only wearing sweaty underwear.
“No! My bow! Quiver!”
“Huh!? Where are our weapons?!”
“Instructor, instructor!”
Even some of the weapons I brought with me disappeared.
This was something that should not have happened.
The items you started with just before entering the field will be brought back with you even if you are eliminated.
Even if it was just the weapons I got there, I had to have at least clothes and weapons on my person.
······At least that’s what they thought.
“Instructor! “How did this happen!”
The instructor’s expression changed strangely at the cadets’ puzzled questions.
“······Great, come out first. “You better come out and see for yourself.”
“Yes?”
Lucen was sitting blankly.
“······!”
I suddenly had a sudden realization.
‘Why was he fainting…?!’
* · * *
“Everyone is late…”
Goren muttered with a dissatisfied look on her face.
“He must be doing something else.”
Freesia said coldly.
Class F and Class C.
They were gathered at the border between Area 1-D and Area 1-E.
Already an hour has passed since the evaluation began.
As promised, they were the only class gathered in the central area.
Goren clicked her tongue and spat out.
“Tsk. Hey, Phrygia. Since it’s like this, why don’t we just go together in two classes? “Don’t wait here indefinitely.”
Freesia thought briefly about his suggestion.
Soon she nodded.
“Well, that would definitely be a good idea. “If this continues, I will fall behind.”
“Then, first of all, the remaining level 1 areas-.”
“Wait a minute.”
It was then.
Phrygia raised her hand and cut Goren off.
“Look over there.”
She narrowed her brows and pointed to a direction in the sky.
“······!”
Goren’s eyebrows also tilted as he turned his gaze.
Sweet love-
An arrow that violently emits green light, cutting vertically through the air.
“Signal…?”
That was definitely a Class I luminous arrow.
“What happened?”
“Couldn’t Class I have discovered Class A?”
“······Did we run into each other by chance?”
Freesia shot at Goren, who continued to mutter stupidly.
“The reason is not important now. Whatever it is, it’s right to go and check it out. “Nothing will change just because we’re fighting here.”
“······I see. Everyone ready to go!”
Goren quickly nodded and turned around to tell Class F.
* · * *
Gap between the bricks of the watchtower.
A blue aura was hovering over the revealed blood-red eyes.
These were Leon’s eyes whose eyes were strengthened with mana.
“It’s coming.”
As he stared down the plateau, he muttered softly.
Because it is located at a high location where you can clearly see the surroundings.
It was easy to see the black figures running from the central area.
“Wow, you’re really coming?”
“These kids…”

“No way, I did it…”
The exclamations of the responding cadets were filled with subtle anger.
This was the moment when it became clear that other classes had secretly formed an alliance with Class A.
A suspicious luminous arrow in the quiver of Class I guys.
I shot it in the sky just in case, but the enemies came running as if they were waiting for me?
This was a disaster.
Of course, of course.
It was Class A who shot the luminous arrow into the sky.
They had robbed Class I of all weapons and clothing.
The reason I was able to do that was because I didn’t kill them right away, but knocked them unconscious and then took their items.
Originally, if you inflict more than a certain amount of damage, the enemy will immediately bounce off the field.
When killing with clothes and weapons kept far away.
It was taking advantage of a loophole in the Tower of Illusion that transmission was not possible.
Of course, this was also Leon’s idea.
‘Fifty······. Class C and Class F. Are both classes coming?’
After counting the number of cadets approaching, Leon covered his mouth.
On their chests were the blue mark of class C and the yellow mark of class F.
They were not powerful enough to be dealt with by Class A alone.
You might not know it from other classes, but classes C and F are capable classes of their own.
Furthermore, they must have robbed a level 1 area, so the weapons that were glimpsed from them looked unusual.
Differences in weapons can never be ignored in battle.
If we fought head on, victory could not be guaranteed.
Even if you win, the damage will be considerable.
In a situation where I had to deal with the alliance of several groups alone, I had to maintain my full strength as much as possible.
From the beginning, we could not take actions that would undermine our allies.
‘Then…’
What should I do?
The opponent is at an advantage, and our team is at a disadvantage.
Then, it is simple.
Reverses the balance.
All you have to do is create better conditions for your allies.
Leon’s eyes brightened and he nodded to the cadets.
It meant that we should stick to the plan.

Ta-da-da-da-da!
Fifty swordsmen quickly climbed the slope.
It was a slope with an old castle wall piled up above.
“It was definitely around here…”
Goren spread the spirit and diligently searched for people.
“If you go up there, you can clearly see this modern era.”
Phrysia pointed to the watchtower and spat out.
It was then.
“Hey! “This way!”
Suddenly!
A cadet wearing a mask that reached up to her nose appeared on the watchtower she pointed to.
There is a bow in her right hand, and a quiver of arrows hanging from her waist.
The thing hanging on the left chest is a green rectangular mark.
He was a Class I cadet.
Goren smiled happily.
“Oh, were you waiting for us?”
“I guess so. Hey, what happened! Did you find class A?!”
“Yes! “They are running away when they see you coming, so come quickly!”
The Class I cadet gestured with his hands as if he was frustrated.
The C and F class cadets breathed mana into their legs and quickly increased their speed.
They were able to reach the top of the castle wall in an instant.
“Which way did it go… Oh, there it is!”
Opposite of the direction they ran from.
A wide open plain.
I was able to spot several Class A cadets heading toward the dark forest, and the archers from Class I chasing them.
“Let’s go quickly!”
“I understand!”
I had no worries whatsoever.
Goren and Phrygia chased after them without hesitation.
I couldn’t miss the golden opportunity to handle Class A.
Not only can you earn points by defeating enemies.
With the combined efforts of Class I, we were able to capture them without harm to our allies.
This is hunting, not combat.
There was enough reason to chase after him.
I followed the black-haired Class I cadet who was already following me to the rear of the pursuit group.
The prosecutors quickly fired a new weapon and followed behind them.
It looks like Class A is followed by Class I, followed by Class C and Class F.
By the time the leading Class A cadets were approaching the forest.
“Hey, that one!”
“Divided!”
Is he trying to shake off the chase?
The Class A cadets were divided into three groups and began to disperse in different directions.
The Class I cadets who were following closely behind them also divided into groups and followed them after a short period of time.
Soon they disappeared into the thick vegetation.
All that was left was a pitch-black forest with its mouth wide open.
“Oh my gosh, what should we do?”
Goren’s eyes become stupid again.
Freesia said as if she was frustrated.
“What should I do! Just do the same! Groups 1, 2, and 3 go to the right, and groups 4 and 5 go to the center! Goren, please split into groups quickly!”
“Ah, I understand! Groups 1 and 2 support the center! The rest go left with me!”
There was a moment of confusion, but thanks to Freesia’s quick judgment, Class C and Class F were divided into three groups.
They also spread out in three directions and entered the forest.
Tall trees and thick leaves welcomed them as if they were glad to see them.
Is it because I am excited?
Or is it because of lack of practical experience?
Up to this point, they had not discovered anything strange or suspicious.
I didn’t know what it meant to divide people without proper means of communication or operations.
They just run forward without knowing anything.
“······.”
Sit down on the tree.
Leon was looking down, his mask pulled up to his nose.
Sigh.
Quietly smiling over the mask.
“—I got caught.”
