142 – 29. Cat Fight (Physics)
“……….”
When I close my eyes, all I see is darkness.
If you think slowly, you can remember past moments like a movie.
Childhood memories that everyone has and can recall.
Warm memories of spending time with my beloved family without any worries.
It was no different for Abel Legion, called the
Hero.
“……………….”
But instead of Abel recalling her warm memories, she remembered the cold and fearful days.
Her grandfather, who was kind and great, and his country. And a huge gate that seems to reach up to the sky.
The death and war of countless people.
And………
“…Sacrifice.”
After that day, the child who was laughing and talking lively died.
Only the burnt residue remains.
Inside an abandoned building, Abel, who was sitting alone leaning on her sword, looked at her red team uniform.
The first prize was definitely a 2-day, 1-night trip to a place of your choice.
Even if you didn’t have such a travel permit, there would be no problem getting there, but Abel needed a companion.
A fortuneteller approached me like a piece of trash.
“……………….”
He was usually very emotional, but when he was with the fortune teller, he felt like he had gone back to the old days, even just a little.
Is that because the fortuneteller is considerate of him? Or is it for another reason?
Abel couldn’t figure it out on his own, no matter how much he thought about it.
…… If I go there, will I know?
“………Before that….”
Shouldn’t we resolve the grievances?
Charles Teddy Bear.
He was a war hero, an academy instructor, and the most trustworthy soldier at one time.
A loser who eventually ran away, leaving behind his grandfather.
“……………….”
I know the mission of Well.
Rather, it was a mission that no one knew about except him, the
Warrior.
Saving the world and defeating evil.
Isn’t this the image of a hero or warrior that I saw in comics when I was young?
“……Why…….”
But.
Abel always used to think before going to sleep.
Why am I a warrior?
And.
“……………….”
My world has already collapsed, so why do I have to save it?
That is why Abel Legion did not recall the warm past.
The more I think about it, the more I reconfirm that his world has already collapsed.
He is a ‘warrior’ who saves the world, and an ‘absolute good’ who defeats evil.
Abel Legion’s world had already collapsed.
Enough to change everything for a child.
Horribly and cruelly.

“It’s a fatal wound.”
“…Sheesh.”
“If you were wrong, you would have been eliminated by the princess.”
“I know, I’m a non-believer.”
Temporarily occupied high-rise abandoned building.
On the top floor of the place that was used as a gathering place for the three teams, Eileen Teddy Bear with an unpleasant expression and a saint with a smiling face were facing each other.
After confirming Eileen’s fatal wound, the saint immediately shook her head.
“Treatment is impossible.”
“……Damn.”
“As it stands now, even if I were ambushed by an ordinary student, I would be in big trouble… Because half of my name tag was torn off.”
Aileen Teddy Bear’s name tag was tattered and half torn off.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was forcibly torn off, but it was obvious who did it.
One of the rules for this event was that a name tag that had been torn off could not be reattached.
Aileen had suffered serious, fatal injuries.
“Ha, I still had some income.”
“What is it?”
“Those who don’t believe… That Princess Kim Eun-ha is a monster.”
The coexistence of the Saint and Eileen dramatically reduced the risk of , But even that was not enough.
The original princess had to do her best to be successful, but Kim Eun-ha, wearing a blood-red cape and crown, was on a different level.
If Rain Arthur and Saint, who rushed in midway, had not intervened…… It must have been her complete defeat.
“You can’t waste time.”
“Well, definitely.”
“Sasaki Ito, and Abel Legion…If all the forces of Team 1 come together, they will be truly unstoppable.”
“Isn’t that why you joined hands with me, Eileen?”
“……That’s unpleasant.”
A corner of the top floor where Eileen and Saint were talking.
Lane Arthur, who was leaning against the wall, raised the corner of her mouth.
“It’s a temporary alliance.”
“Why are you smiling?”
“I don’t know about you, but it reminds me of what happened at the Great Lakes. It was quite a fun memory.”
“Can’t you just stop using that polite language?”
“You are not the most common weakling. Above all, seeing the way that suspected disease patient treats you clearly shows your value.”
“Well, I only see you as a fly hovering around Namgoong Min.”
“Don’t worry about it because we’re both common people. Since you don’t have much ability, I’ll give you a place if you marry Namgoong Min. A dog house will suffice, right?”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“…Sisters, let’s not be like this.”
Party. Match.
Is this a temporary alliance or a declaration of war?
As always, Saint Raphael Martina, who was secretly cursing his fellow sinners who were the cause of all this, brightened the mood with applause.
Teams 3 and 4 turning against each other due to a brief argument was only good for team 1.
“Time is of the essence to us, isn’t it?”
“…What the saint said is correct.”
“……Hmph.”
“In the end, you’ll be competing for wet wipes and travel vouchers, but you won’t be fighting for second place for a box of wet wipes.”
“Of course.”
“I’ll tell you this straight away. Currently, Team 3 has nearly 300 people, which is more than double the number of Team 1 that has been identified so far.”
“……………….”
“I heard that Team 4 gathered about 100 people, led by Lucas, so we have twice the number of students and we have quite a few strong students.”
“…You want to go right now.”
“Is there any problem?”
“……No way. I was just worried that some martial artist who attacked non-believers would be eliminated.”
“If I put my fist in your mouth, wouldn’t that mouth stop?”
“Lane.”
“……I’m sorry, it was my fault just now. I’m sorry, Eileen Teddy Bear.”
“Tsk, if it wasn’t for that disbeliever princess…”
Rain apologized, knowing full well that once we had decided to form an alliance, even if only temporarily, any further provocation would only be an obstacle.
The two clicked their tongues and glared at each other until the end, but through Raphael’s mediation, they joined hands.
It was an unstable alliance that would only last until Team 1 was overthrown.
At least there will be no betrayal until Princess Kim Eun-ha is eliminated.
The saint, who was looking at the two shaking hands, one with grip strength and the other with supernatural powers, opened his mouth.
“Where is Lucas?”
“My brother is walking around the nearby area. His main purpose is reconnaissance, but…”
“……Team 2 is the problem. This is where the unbelieving rich people are.”
Team 2.
Unfortunately, Team 2, where Liu Yan was the only student, was eliminated countless times, caught between Team 1 led by Princess Kim Eun-ha, Team 3, which ran wild from the beginning, and Team 4, which the Arthur siblings controlled.
I don’t know if Liu Yan appeared in the middle, but since there is no news of him being found yet, it must mean he is hiding somewhere.
“That’s strange. The suspected disease patient I know isn’t the kind of person who would hide in a situation like this.”
“……I think we have no choice but to rule it out for now.”
“If that non-believer had any sense, he would join us.”
In such an urgent situation, Han Si did not have time to leisurely search for Team 2 and Liu Yan.
After reaching a conclusion, Seong, Eileen, and Lane stood up.
“Have you confirmed the whereabouts of Team 1?”
“The last report was that it was headed towards the mountain, so it is likely to be on that side.”
“If it’s a mountain…”
“…We should hurry before the princess builds a fortress.”
2 Days until Namgoong Min returns from the Korean Empire.

‘Before that, we eliminated the other b*tches…….’
Use your travel voucher to take your passport first.
Rain’s eyes shone brightly in a fight he could never give up.
“……………….”
Without noticing the gaze of her saint who was looking at her closely.
*
“……I’m late.”
Lucas Arthur, who was scouting around the abandoned building, frowned.
Several students who went to search a building do not return.
However, I was concerned that the building was too quiet to believe there had been an attack.
“Lucas, shall we send other students?”
“No, wait.”
If it’s another team’s trap, you’ll end up falling for it.
Lucas took a step toward the students following him and extended his hand toward the building.
Job skill .
A job skill that allows Lucas Arthur to understand and use all the magic in the world.
Lucas stacked detection magic, heat detection magic, metal detection magic, artifact detection magic, and life detection magic and looked around as if scanning the entire building.
‘What’s particularly unique about it is──’
──There is.
In the middle of the building, there are three responses to the collapsed life.
Coincidentally, it was the exact number of students who entered the building to search it.
‘Anything else?’
Further inside where the students fell.
…… There are two life reactions that can be felt.
Now that we know the existence of the enemy who attacked here, we will have to rush in with the students.
“……………….”
“Lucas…?”
“…I’ll go inside for a moment so you can search other buildings.”
“Ha, but.”
“Hey, since you are somewhat competent, you can at least mix things up, but you are not capable of talking back to me.”
“……I understand.”
Jeobbuk. Jerk.
…… I may have said it a little harshly, but even so, I needed to go in alone.
‘Let’s apologize later.’
Lucas, who had been thinking about things he would not have done before entering the Romance Academy, looked around.
The inside of the building was no different from other places. The inside was cleaner than expected.
However.
“……………….”
Three students who were brutally beaten are lying down.
Everyone had their name tags horribly torn off.
“……After.”
And beyond the torn and discarded name tags.
There are two students sitting side by side at an old table.
Both of them were people Lucas knew.
That’s why it was even more of a problem.
“……Sasaki Ito.”
“Lucas Arthur, this is my first time seeing you. Please take care of me.”
And.
“……Liu.”
“Then who am I?”
Sasaki Ito of Team 1, and Liu Yan of Team 2.
Lastly, Lucas Arthur from Team 4.
As soon as he confirmed that Sasaki Ito and Liu Yan were inside the building, Lucas felt that something was unusual and looked at them.
“What business do you have with me?”
“Since you are the one who came in, shouldn’t I ask you a question?”
“Don’t act pretentious, Liu. You may not know this, but the prosecutors over there in Japan are clearly lying.”
“……Um, sorry. Great wealth.”
“…I’m so heartbroken that I’m going to die.”
“So what’s going on?”
“Huh…Okay, Lucas. I’m here to make a deal.”
“…Deal?”
What kind of deal is this that they sneak into the enemy’s lair instead of helping Team 2?
Lucas swallowed his saliva without thinking and made eye contact with Liu Yan, who was smiling like a fortune teller.
“Hey, Lucas. What you want is first place, right?”
“That’s because I don’t want wet tissues.”
“I can’t make you number one, but I can bring you to the brink.”
“…What do you mean?”
“You guys are planning to team up with that blonde fighter, right?”
“……………….”
“I can hear the head rolling all the way here. I’ve already made a deal with this ignorant prosecutor, so just say it.”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
“Then you understand that the odds of winning are not high, right?”
“……That’s right.”
The number of students and leadership positions is much higher in teams of 3 and 4.
But in Team 1, there is that monstrous princess and there is a hero.
It is obvious that even if the princess is alone, she will suffer great damage, but if the hero joins, there is a strong possibility that she will be counterattacked.
Nevertheless, the decision was made because playing against team 1 had the highest win rate.
“My deal is simple, Lucas.”
“…Tell me.”
“Betray Team 4 and stick with me.”
“………!!”
“The prosecutor here has already betrayed Team 1.”
“……Could it be Team 3?”
“What do you think?”
“What are you planning, Liu?”
“What is your intention?”
You betray Team 4.
“I will become the hero of Team 4.”
“……….”
Why?
At that moment, Lucas thought he had seen something wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and opened them again.
‘Now…… ….’
It was just a moment, a very brief moment.
Because Liu’s appearance and that of a fortune teller seemed to overlap.
That too.
“How do you feel?”
“……………….”
Namgoong Min before he did something big.
It was the same smile.
It was the same tone of voice.
