Episode 55 – Let’s fight coolly and end it.
55. Let’s fight cool and end it.
Mist and silence fell at the same time.
The dark clouds spread widely across the sky, blocking out the moonlight, adding darkness to the quiet area.
On the battlefield that ended, only trampled weeds and faint heat remained.
There were no corpses, blood, or weapons lying around.
This was a mock battlefield, not a real battlefield.
Poof!
Leon shook off his sword and put it back in its sheath.
Of course, I didn’t put any blood or dirt on it, but it’s just a habit.
“Is everyone okay?”
The cadets of Class A answered with their eyes instead of words.
They were flopping down on the floor, breathing heavily.
Leon glanced at them.
Number reduced by 2 people.
It wasn’t bad.
“Good.”
Satisfaction was clearly evident in his grinning eye smile.
2 People sacrificed to capture class 3.
The operation was a sufficient success.
‘If this is the case… Hasn’t first place been achieved?’
Starting from class I.
Class C, Class F, Class J, Class G, Class D, and Class E.
‘Looking at the numbers, there are so many.’
I organized all seven classes by Class A alone.
If you calculate the score…
9800 Points.
In addition, there are area control points from the southeast to the east.
“Hey.”
It’s over.
This is definitely number one.
Now I just need to eat the level 1 area nearby…
······But.
‘Where is Class B?’
At least it’s the only class where I can compete with Class A in terms of skills.
You can’t even see the tip of the nose.
“······.”
I felt something strong.
‘There are some classes left… There is also class H.’
Class H?
Leon’s evaluation of them was just two words.
Bessel Hammond, spearmen.
At least Vessel, ranked 9th, is doing a little better.
Like class G, it is a class made up of spear magicians?
Everything else is not so good.
If we got together with class B, it would be like throwing a mugshot.
Of course, Billy and Essabel are the main members of class B.
The remaining cadets all had decent skills.
The day before, Leon had watched a video of them going through the Lilvgeus breakthrough.
Is it true that Esabel’s boasts were not false?
We matched well and had good skills.
Actually, it’s because there is a variable called Reincarnated Leon.

Even in the original work, Billy’s class won first place.
It was natural for them to show such capabilities.
That is to say.
“······Didn’t they eat up all the outside of this?”
Even if we encountered Class H, Class B would never get tired.
“Wait, wait…”
Leon narrowed his eyes and urgently tried to rack his brain.
Excluding the area from southeast to east where Class A passed through, and the level 1 area.
Let’s say you’ve eaten about half of the 2nd and 3rd grade areas.
65 Points per minute, 3900 points per hour.
It’s been about 7 hours since the evaluation started.
······No matter how low you count it, it was over 20,000 points.
“Huh?”
Leon’s jaw dropped.
* · * *
15 Level 3 zones.
10 Level 2 zones.
It was a list of areas occupied by Class B.
They struck the back of Class H from the northwest and turned counterclockwise from the north.
It was cool even to the southern area.
Because of this, their score hovered around 30,000 points.
“I never thought everyone would flock to the center.”
Esabel muttered with a laugh.
In fact, this was propaganda that even Class B did not expect.
Thanks to everyone being killed by Class A.
Except for Class H in the beginning, they have never encountered anything.
In the end, the essence is a war of occupation.
Expanding the area was more important than capturing a few enemy soldiers.
Of course, level 1 areas are also important.
‘It’s meaningless to eat up the rest of the area like this.’
The score they are currently getting is 80 points per minute.
Even if a class occupies all 6 first-grade zones, it still scores 60 points per minute.
In addition, in a situation where most of the class has flocked to the central zone, a monopolist cannot easily emerge.
The difference in scores will be widening significantly.
That was when Essa Bell nodded her head.
“Representative!”
A quick-footed Class B cadet ran towards me while flying a new model.
He was a person sent by Essabel to scout the central area.
“I think Class A won. “They were the only ones left in the central zone.”
“Hmm… Really?”
Esabel gently tilted her head.
“Then, well. “Let’s just do what we do.”
Nothing changed.
Rather, at this time when Class A was in the central zone, we had to push harder.
“Let’s go.”
B Group did not stop its advance and began heading southeast.
* · * *
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
The cadets of Class A were gathered together in devastated silence.
After listening to Leon’s words, I realized that they might be in a losing situation.
How many classes have they beaten and are losing?
It was embarrassing enough.
“······Then what should we do?”
Kiana blurted out, blinking her eyes.
“What should I do? “I have to go and catch it.”
Leon answered harshly.
The remaining time is approximately 2 hours, at most 3 hours.
It is too late now to try to retake the area by making a fuss.
Even if I do that, there is no way I can catch up with the score.
Simply, it was best to annihilate the opponent.
“There just happened to be something like this.”
On top of Leon’s outstretched hand, an object the size of his palm was placed.
A circular compass made of gray iron.
However, unlike a regular compass, it had a complicated instrument panel, buttons, and dials.
It is an item called ‘Mana Reverberation Tracker’.
It has a function that can track the mana of the spot where the opponent passed.
It was an item from a cadet from Class E who had just been sorted out.
It is probably a weapon given in the level 1 area.
“Oh, if only I had this!”
“Thank goodness!”
The cadets were delighted.
I was at a loss as to how to search this wide field, but I came up with a suitable solution.
After finding the flag that Class B had planted.
All I had to do was start by detecting the mana buried there.
“Everyone rest for 5 minutes and then leave. This will probably be my final rest.”
Leon took out a potion and spoke to the cadets.
“Let’s find it as quickly as possible. No, you absolutely have to find it.”
When I glanced up, the moon was at its highest point in the sky.
“Until the moon falls.”
* · * *
There are exactly twenty people left in Class A.
Even though it only gave one-fifth of the power.
Leon had a certain level of trust.
I didn’t just believe in ability.
Equipment.
For class A, there were weapons they dropped while capturing 7 classes.
Let’s briefly summarize what I chose and used.
I added the mask, boots, bracelets, pauldrons, and gauntlets that I had used before.
The durability is a little low due to the battle, but it is still a usable breastplate.
A greaves that enhance leg strength.
A necklace memorized with body strengthening magic that can be used before entering battle.
A ring with a similar magic.
Consumables such as mana bombs, potions, daggers, etc.
This was more than enough to make up for the empty number gap, Leon thought.
Like that.
Use trackers actively.
There is about 1 hour left until the end of the evaluation.
Class A was able to catch Class B off guard.
He went south, saw the gray flag there, and followed it.
“It’s over there!”
Woo-du-du-du-du!
“””······!?”””
The Class B cadets looked back at the sudden attack and were astonished.
A herd of wild boars is coming, so how can we not be surprised?
That momentum rushing in like a tidal wave, forming a strong formation.
Definitely Class A.
Even if the markings were mixed and even if he was wearing a mask, he could be recognized at a glance.
“What…! “Everyone stop!”
Esa Bell, with her eyes wide open, stopped the cadets.
I didn’t think I could escape from those guys.
Tsuzuzuzuzu-
The two classes slowly stopped.
As the sound of footsteps gradually subsided, there was a strange silence.
They were in formation with a gap of several tens of meters between them.
Confrontation.
The prosecutors’ eyes rolled and they looked at their opponents.
Class B was saddened by the state of their equipment.
Class A was appetized to see their stamina looking fresh.
Wheeeing-
The dry east wind that suddenly blew separated them.
Esabel, who was in the lead, had her ponytail flying to the left.
It was a wilderness terrain.
The terrain was rugged.
Desiccated tumbleweeds were rolling around.
Moonlight flowed gently over the crumbly soil.
Esabel, who had been looking carefully, broke the silence.
“You must have been in quite a hurry? “Seeing as I followed you all the way here.”
The answer to this was carotene.
A gruff voice came out from behind the black mask.
“It’s because you are the only enemy left.”
“······.”
Esabel’s eyes wavered slightly.
Isn’t that what you mean by beating up the other half?
But she did her calculations for a moment and then smiled leisurely.
“I think I worked pretty hard, but it turned out to be unfortunate. “It feels like we’ve already won?”
Even if you catch all of the remaining 7 and a half.
Anyway, this evaluation is ranked by score.
In that case, you can’t beat your class, which has only expanded its territory so far.
If you just briefly calculate the number of occupied areas, it seems like the winner has already been decided.
Esabel spoke in a truly carefree and leisurely manner.
Actually, she was right.
Now, at this moment, Class B had well surpassed 30,000 points.
Class A had more than a full point difference from them.
But.
“Hmm. “If we just win the fight here, wouldn’t things be different?”
This was also correct.
Anyway, if you are wiped out, no matter how many points you have, your ranking will be pushed back by the surviving class.
Of course, Essa Belle had a reason for her relaxed attitude.
“I knew that would happen, so I left out some people in advance.”
She waved her hands gracefully in the air.
“Even if the main team is wiped out, the entire class will not be eliminated.”
“······Huh.”
According to what she said, the number of people in class B that can be seen now was 23.
She thought it was a sacrifice made in battle.
No, send two people to another place in advance.
Even if they lost the fight, they did something to ensure that Class B could endure until the end of the evaluation.
Definitely, it was an excellent method as the evaluation was about to end.
“—Are they talking about this?”

Sharp, flutter!
Until Leon came carrying the two Class B cadets like luggage.
“······What!?”
Esabel and the Class B cadets’ eyes widened as if torn.
Billy, too, twitched his eyebrows ever so slightly.
“Wow, I had a hard time.”
Leon grinned and waved the tracker in her hand.
Prepare for using this type of move.
He broke away from the main team and ran around the field like crazy.
It was thanks to the improved Cheonryeongbo and his incredible physical strength.
Chaeng!
A short, sharp sound of a sword is heard.
Sigh!
Let the blue trace draw a semicircle toward the ground.
The cadets who had fainted were eliminated by having their throats cut.
Leon pointed forward with the tip of his sword and smiled.
“Let’s fight cool and end it.”
“······.”
His red eyes and Billy’s blue eyes met for an instant.
Chaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejaejae!
It seems like someone sent a signal.
Swords are pulled out from the swordsmen’s scabbards all at once.
Whaaa!
Each person’s sword energy bloomed brightly.
“I can’t help it.”
Esabel muttered with burning eyes.
“I will take care of Leon.”
I look back at Billy, who carelessly steps forward.
“Hit!”
“Rush!”
With shouts that erupted at the same time.
The swordsmen hit the ground and rush at each other.
The final battle that will decide the winner has begun.
