Episode 52 – So you won’t fight?
52. So you won’t fight?
The killing spree that Leon unleashed on his enemies was a suppression, an invitation, and a provocation.
No matter how terrible it may be.
Among the Elprime cadets, will there be those who barely survive and run away in fear?
No.
And it shouldn’t have happened.
Even if you are really scared or want to run away.
There are a lot of people outside watching in real time.
I couldn’t do that, even if it was because of pride or honor.
Because of this, they were shocked and agitated for a while when they first started living.
After coming to my senses, I blushed and furrowed my eyebrows.
Fear and confusion are replaced by anger and a desire to win.
I took an angry step with the intention of getting back at the person who dared to provoke me like this.
As we went a little further, life was taken away.
Thanks to this, they were able to quickly reach their destination, the very center.
The place we arrived at gave a very strange atmosphere.
Wilderness, mountains, wheat fields, rivers, fields, hills.
It was a space where six different terrains stretched out their arms and touched each other.
The three classes in the central zone arrived there almost at the same time.
In the eastern wheat fields, Class G.
In the northwest mountains, Class D.
And then to Class E, which followed the southern river stream.
As if they had made an appointment, they stuck their heads out from their respective areas at once.
This is because Leon sows, reaps, and intentionally adjusts the arrival time.

Of course, they didn’t know.
I just saw the black-haired boy at the end of my vision and my eyes lit up.
“Leon Crusif!”
“Oh, you’re alone?!”
I could tell at a glance that he was Leon.
I changed my clothes back into class A clothes with red dog tags.
The mask was pulled down below the chin, showing off his signature maniacal smile.
They seem to have forgotten that this is the middle of the battlefield.
He looked very relaxed as he sat alone on a large rock.
“Is everyone here?”
Even shaking his hand as if greeting a close friend.
The dark clouds that covered the night sky suddenly rolled away, and the moonlight hit his face.
His eyes reflected the moonlight and sparkled with bright light.
“””······.”””
A strange silence fell over the area.
This is because various emotions were swirling around the cadets.
Embarrassment and doubt about showing such confidence on your own.
Anger at the arrogance of having to deal with this many people alone.
A thousand thoughts came to mind.
‘How did you shoot the luminous arrow?’
‘Where is everyone in Class A going and why are they alone…?’
‘Of course, he must have prepared some move.’
‘Isn’t it just a crazy person doing crazy things?’
‘No, even in this situation…’
“—What are you doing?”
Leon’s voice contained a strange magical power.
Despite the fact that it is clearly a low murmur.
It opened his ears and penetrated his brain clearly.
It immediately tapped my troubled head and awakened my spirit.
“It’s pointless to use your head.”
As he spoke, he quietly placed his hand near his waist.
“So, you’re not going to fight?”
Pisik.
A round of ridicule flowed.
Pararak!
A whitish remnant appeared around Leon.
Only a very few of his cadets were able to tell that he was swinging his arm and throwing something.
It was so fast that his arm was only visible as a remnant.
Of course.
Just because I noticed it didn’t mean I could avoid it.
It was too short a time to go from recognition to reaction.
＞
A huge explosion of alcohol erupted at the same time.
But the explosion occurred in three places.
“Ugh?!”
“Kwaaa!”
Bluish mana remnants rain down.
The shock wave bounced the cadets in concentric circles.
2 Per class, 6 in total.
A mana bomb exploded in the group of cadets who were arranged in a wide triangle.
The cadets closest to the explosion site fainted, and some were even eliminated.
The effect of the mana bomb is clearly compared to that of class J.
It’s not that the model Leon used is better.
It was simply because his throwing skills were excellent.
The darkness was deep, and the enemy was alone so he let his guard down, so the cadets’ reactions were slow.
“···f*ck you!”
“Damn it, Colt!”
“Everyone be careful!”
The swearing and shouting that broke out later covered the entire area.
Resentment was welling up on the faces of the cadets who had been hit by an unexpected surprise attack.
In the blink of an eye, I lost several of my allies without even being able to resist the lone enemy.
It was absurd, and I was angry.
“Ah~ I’m bored~.”
Leon’s languid voice rang in their ears.
His posture is still sitting comfortably.
Then he opens his mouth wide and places his hand on its edge, making an artificial movement that looks like he is yawning.
“Wow, this really gets me fired up.”
“Oh, that!”
“I said let’s see…!”
The cadets’ eyes rolled back.
It was an obvious provocation.
Not only did I continue to be subjected to that provocation, but I was also being subjected to it in many different ways.
The cadets’ sense of reason, which had been hit by a bomb, had long since disappeared without a chance to hold on.
He’s alone in the first place, so what is he doing?
Why are you watching?
Yes, as Leon said, there was nothing complicated about it.
“Kill!”
Someone shouted.
It was rough, but clear.
What more do I need to say?
It seems like that cry has come to fruition.
Pabababababat!
The cadets clenched their teeth as if they were about to break and kicked the ground all at once.
The black figures started flocking like wild dogs and concentrating on one point.
The gap between Leon and the cadets was about 100 meters.
For expert fighters who were very angry, just a few seconds was enough distance.
The distance was covered in an instant.
When seen from a distance, it looked like three thick, black lines leading to the center.
“Fuha.”
Like that.
Surrounded by dozens of enemies everywhere.
Leon smiled lightly and stood up from the stone he had been sitting on.
A sinister force attacks my entire body.
The fierce mana they spewed out shook the air.
There was no sense of crisis to be found in his expression.
This is the situation now.
It was something I had been waiting for.
Now all that was left was to show it.
“Okay then.”
The pitch black mask is pulled up to the nose again.
His red eyes began to shed blood.
“Shall we begin?”
At the same time as saying that.
Bubbabububububbung!!!
A thick fog rolled into the area.
* · * *
Whaaa!
Pure white smoke immediately covers the field of vision.
“Ugh!?”
The cadets who were attacking Leon reflexively raised their arms to block his face.
Of course, it was not an attack that was harmful to the body.
It’s just a slightly thicker, heavier smoke.
Whoa!
The smoke reached a height well above the heads and spread all the way to the back in an instant.
The cadets were suddenly submerged deep into the sea of fog.
A tickling feeling touches the skin.
The breath I took in smelled like poached mushrooms.
There were only a few things that the eyes could recognize.
The whole world has turned white.
I couldn’t see even an inch in front of me.
I could only vaguely see the outline of my colleague next to me.
“Smoke screen!”
“Smoke bomb…!”
Some cadets discovered the identity of the fog.
Smoke bomb.
It must have been obtained in a level 3 area where consumables are available.
If everything that was there had been used, this amount of smoke would not have been strange.
Of course.
“Such a foolish thing!”
Yes, it is useless.
It’s an unexpected situation, but there’s nothing to panic about.
Well, what are we going to do now?
Smoke screens can’t do any harm to them.
I guess I can just buy some time.
“Leon, where did Leon go!?”
“Find it quickly!”
It must have been a smokescreen created by Leon to escape.
I had to hurry and catch that arrogant rat before he escaped.
The cadets quickly regained their composure and tried to spread their spirits.
However.
It was very difficult to find a single person in a crowded space where dozens of fighters were gathered.
Especially because Leon was treading on the heavenly path.
One of the cool-headed cadets frowned and said.
“Let’s go outside first…”
Her words cut off unnaturally.
“······?”
The cadet right next to me felt puzzled and turned her head to look.
“······!”
And I saw it.
The new type collapses to the floor.
She is engulfed in her magic, and her transformation outside her field has begun.
‘Enemy attack!’
The cadet’s eyes widened.
Someone was taking advantage of this confusion to attack the other person.
You must inform your colleagues.
He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to shout loudly.
“Ugh…?!”
No.
I tried to open it.
‘What…!’
From Noble mtl dot com
I realized that my mouth was already tightly held in someone’s hand.
Even before the skin grew on her skin.
Cold, cool touch on the uvula.
It was a blade.
Shut up!
An eerie sensation passed by.
The top of my neck becomes hot as if on fire.
Not a single voice escapes from the open mouth.
I lost all strength from my body, and it became so stiff that I couldn’t even lift a finger.
I felt magical energy slowly engulfing my whole body.
“······!”
The last thing the cadet saw before being eliminated.
A long red eye light drawn in the air.
Leon rushes towards the next target, hiding his body in a blur.
“It’s class C!”
“Why class F?!”
And their colleagues were in confusion, being attacked by other classes here and there.
‘Oh, damn it…’
He finally realized it.
They are not catching a single rat.
The fact that you are being hunted by wild beasts.
