Episode 51 – When will everyone come?
51. When will everyone come?
“······.”
Absurdity, injustice, resentment, despair, resignation.
Jeniel, whose son-in-law was surrounded by enemies, had various expressions on his face.
It was like watching a forensic examination.
“Ssi… Really…”
I wonder if my emotions are overflowing.
A trembling voice and a red tip of the nose.
“I… I…”
Eventually, droplets of water began to form in my turquoise eyes.
“See you later.”
—Suddenly!
Leon was considerate and cut her head off with his own hands.
Consideration is correct.
She is also a warrior and a noblewoman, so shouldn’t she be seen crying in front of others?
Her magic waved around her body after receiving fatal damage, and then quickly transferred out of the field.
That was the last time.
The last survivor of Class J met the end of the evaluation.
“Whoa~!”
Leon breathed out her cool breath.
Revenge is complete.
It would be nice to smoke a nice cigar at this timing.
Unfortunately, it was not possible in the current situation.
Apart from Leon, who was feeling refreshed, the Class A cadets were sprawled out on the ground.
A chase that lasted nearly two hours.
No matter how much physical strength was built up through Cheren and Leon’s vicious training, it was extremely difficult.
Still, the results were satisfactory.
Not only did I get into class I, class C, class F, and even class J.
Running from the southwestern part of the field to the eastern end, I was able to eat most of the 2nd and 3rd grade areas.
This would have significantly widened the score gap with other classes.
The various types of weapons that could be obtained were also secondary income.
Leon lifted her head and looked up at her.
The bluish sky had become slightly dark.
The sun lowering its head to the ground.
That guy will soon hide himself among the mountains.
“Everyone, get enough rest.”
He said this with his eyes flashing and the corners of his mouth twitching.
“I’m going to move as soon as the sun sets.”
After hearing those words, the cadets all took out potions and poured them into their mouths.

Same time.
Central area of Eledor.
Tuk, thuk.
Celia’s favorite weapon, Livgium, kept tapping her palm.
“I’m bored.”
Boring and boring.
I didn’t like this boring confrontation at all.
Currently, the six level 1 areas were exactly 3 minutes apart due to Class G, Class D, and Class E.
Each of them is in charge of 2 districts.
The reason these three classes came to the central zone was not simply because they saw Class I’s luminous arrows.
Originally, they planned to gather at the center as promised yesterday.
I was just late because I had to clean up a few areas on the way.
Well.
Even if we don’t have to say it, shouldn’t it be so?
Then should I just pass it by?
Someone decided to rush quickly and occupy the high-value first-class area.
Someone made the decision to move forward safely, step by step, building up from small things.
It is a simple difference in inclination.

These people belonged to the latter group.
Anyway.
They ran after seeing the luminous arrow and found the central area empty.
Like sharing a cake.
After a battle of wits, we took over this place in 3 minutes.
And from then until now, there has been a standoff.
Class G was lucky.
Thanks to arriving a little early, I was able to target the area where field monsters still remained.
Is this really a level 1 area?
The weapons obtained after killing field monsters were quite useful.
“Hmm…”
Celia’s cat-like eyes rose slightly, as if to express her boredom.
If she had her tail she would be straight down under her by now.
It means feeling uncomfortable.
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
The Class G cadets around her glanced at her with anxious looks in their eyes.
······I’m afraid they’ll just keep going like this and call it a day.
Celia wants to do the same in her heart.
I knew very well that now was not the time.
‘Just watch a little longer.’
It was a reasonable decision rather than a cautious one.
In their situation, they had no idea what the status of the other 7 classes was.
The fact that as many as five and a half groups have been completely wiped out is a fact that those here cannot even dream of.
I was vaguely predicting that there would be at most three or four and a half eliminated.
‘Anyway, what is class A doing?’
Celia tilted her head slightly.
Looking at their behavior so far, it wouldn’t be surprising if they invaded here right away.
Shouldn’t we at least try snooping around?
‘I don’t think I would have been eliminated.’
This was a certainty.
Celia’s strong faith came from a person named Leon.
Leon is with them, so there is no way they would have been defeated so easily.
Even if you look at it objectively, this was correct.
That’s why it was a bad decision to start a fight now.
You never know when Class A will invade here.
At that time, you have to work together with the surrounding class to catch them.
Just holding on here was enough to increase my score.
Starting a battle was something that had to be considered at least after the sun had set.
Like that.
They waited.
The sun sinks in the west.
Until the moon rises on the other side.
With 6 hours of daylight and 4 hours of night, dusk and twilight passed quickly.
The moment when the darkness falls.
A strange event has occurred.
* · * *
The level 1 zone consists of a total of 6 areas.
From 1-A to 1-F.
These six districts are gathered in a circle like pizza slices and face the border.
For this reason, the area that can be called the very center of the field can be accessed directly from any area.
D, E, and G squads were positioned in the central zone.
Like ants flocking to honey water.
They were now gathering all at once in the very center.
······Because of Class I’s luminous arrows that shot up from there.
‘What is it?’
It was a word that penetrated everyone’s minds.
They are currently guarding the area tightly.
How did he crawl over there and shoot the arrow?
No, that aside.
Why are you sending a signal from there?
A problem that cannot be answered through inference alone.
All they could do was go there directly.
So they organized their formation and set off.
It was the same for Celia’s G class.
Ta-da-da-da-da!
Martial warriors holding spears in one hand run across the land with orderly momentum.
The golden wheat that reached up to their waists was trampled and fell to the ground under their feet.
Area 1-B, which they occupied, was a plain with wide wheat fields.
There were no geographical features blocking the path ahead.
Thanks to this, they seemed to arrive at their destination before any other class.
The end point is approaching.
The spear magicians’ eyes sink.
The momentum was further strengthened.
I unconsciously gained more strength in my hand holding the spear.
It was the posture of warriors preparing for battle.
It was then.
“””······!!!”””
Everyone’s eyes widened as if torn apart.
At the same time, 25 foot movements stood tall and stopped like a lie.
Jeeek!
The foot, which suddenly stopped, was unable to overcome its inertia and was dragged on the ground, making a long noise.
Thick dust rose here and there.
Acrid dust burrowed into my nose.
No one cared about that.
Everyone was deeply and heavily keeping their mouths shut.
“······What is this?”
Someone muttered softly in a shaking voice.
Survival (殺氣).
It feels like my whole body will be torn apart at any moment.
The brutal and ferocious killing made their bodies as hard as ice.
What on earth is this?
It was an energy I had never felt or imagined in my entire life.
Just enduring it was difficult.
My hands, feet and pupils were trembling.
The blood fades from my face and it becomes cool.
The beating heart is sending a strong warning.
The instinct was screaming in my head to turn around and run away right away.
Fierce, vicious, and cruel.
Not just the will to ‘kill’.
I felt malice and even hostility.
How can such blatant, raw murderous intent be sent?
An eerie chill rushed into my lungs.
In the end, it was time to take a step back one by one.
Whaaa!
At the forefront of them, a haughty energy that stood up to life emanated from them.
A noble and pure mana was scattered to the cadets along with the wind.
Like an umbrella opened in a heavy rain, the pouring deadly force bounced off.
“Everyone, come to your senses.”
It was Celia.
“Even so, it’s just a matter of survival. As long as you keep your head straight, it’s nothing. Are you guys going to get scared and leave before it even starts?”
Her eyes were straight and strong as she looked back at her cadets.
The corners of his mouth suddenly turned up into a faint smile.
That attitude awakened the spirit of Class G cadets.
“Yes, yes! Everyone, come to your senses!”
“Wow, crazy. “I almost ran away.”
“Hey. “You’re drooling.”
They gathered their own energy and went to live.
The tip of the spear that fell down rises again.
The blurred eyes began to return.
“Good.”
After seeing her appearance, Celia turned her head in front of her again.
Although she had a confident attitude.
When I hid my face from the cadets, the smile on my face seemed to have disappeared.
‘······Leon.’
A ray of tension passed over her eyes.
* · * *
“Lul~ Lulu~!”
Pingrrr-
A dagger jumped from Leon’s fingertips.
A bow and a quiver of arrows were at his feet.
The corners of the mouth were wide open, making a rare smile.
Only pure joy and anticipation appeared on his face.
“When will everyone come?”
