Episode 294
The flames launched by Kim Chung-beom attracted the attention of many students who were taking the exam.
The firecracker magic, which is not another magic, but a non-combat magic, was fired because it was a signal that a special situation had occurred.
And the students understood that magic to mean ‘I found Kim Seon-woo.’
This is because from the time the exam rules were revealed a week ago, the students in Group B had planned to kill Kim Seon-woo first.
All of this was the result of Kim Seon-woo leaving a huge impact with the heavy rain of magical power in last year’s final exam.
As time passed, students one by one rushed to the place where the flames had been fired.
The total number is 12 people.
Considering that only about 4 minutes had passed since the fireworks were set off, quite a number of people had gathered.
When the 12 students gathered like that, they looked at each other and stood guard for a while.
They gathered to defeat Kim Seon-woo, but basically this test is an ‘individual match’. It was a situation where it would not be strange no matter what kind of betrayal came out at any time.
Then Park In-hwan stepped forward.
“Inject magic. You know it’s not the time to fight among ourselves.”
At Park In-hwan’s words, the remaining 12 students nodded and reaped their magic.
Their priority is to deal with ‘Kim Seon-woo’, the biggest risk factor in this test
.
Above all, there is a bounty of 680 points on Kim Seon-woo, so you must kill Kim Seon-woo even for the first place.
“…Hmm. But why are you so quiet?”
Park In-hwan looked around and felt a question.
Even though it was the place where the firecrackers were set off, wow! There was no sign of a battle in Seo In-ji.
However, there are no other suspicious signs.
At that time, Park In-hwan found a man in front of a tree, looking at him with his eyes wide open.
He was a classmate who didn’t usually have a presence.
“…what was his name?”
Park In-hwan pointed with his finger and thought.
“Park Chung-beom?”
“Yang Chung-beom.”
Yang Choong-beom gave a short answer to Park In-hwan’s question. Park In-hwan Ah! and nodded.
“Ah, right. Yang Choong-beom. But Park Choong-beom is more comfortable, so I will call him Park Chung-beom.”
“no.”
To Park In-hwan’s joke, Yang Chung-beom answered with a straight face.
In response, Park In-hwan narrowed his eyes.
Even last year, no one showed that kind of attitude towards him…
Last year’s Park In-hwan would have been immediately taken aback by that attitude.
“Well anyway, did you shoot the flame magic earlier?”
“…Uh, that’s right I shot it.”
The surroundings were agitated for a moment at Yang Chung-beom’s answer.
“Why did you shoot?”
“That’s…
Yang Choong-beom was speechless. An anxious face.
Why are you doing that all of a sudden? When the 12 students felt doubts, Yang Chung-beom looked up at the sky.
It wasn’t the sky to be precise,
it was above the tree. That moment when I looked up at the top of the tree following Yang Chung-beom’s gaze.
I could feel the energy of magic there.
A non-attribute magic sphere that shoots in 4 directions at the same time.
Fain!
The spheres were shot at the heads of four people.
They didn’t even think of reacting because they couldn’t feel any presence
exactly
, and their heads exploded and disappeared.
“…what what!”
The 8 remaining people were greatly taken aback by the sudden surprise attack.
Then, without a chance to be surprised, another 4 magic orbs were shot from the tree.
Kwaaang!
“Keah!”
And then the 4 disappear again.
In an instant, there were only 4 left from 12.
The remaining four students immediately jumped into a fighting stance and shouted loudly.
“It’s Kim Seon-woo!”
At the same time as that cry, Seonwoo Kim jumped out from the tree.
The four immediately tried to attack Kim Seon-woo with their own magic.
However, Kim Seon-woo leisurely dodges the attacks and thrusts a magic orb into the nearest enemy ship.
Kwaaang!
“Keah!”
One disappears again.
At the same time, two students holding a spear and an ax attempted to attack Seonwoo Kim from behind.
However, two magic spheres materialized over Kim Seon-woo’s head and detonated their heads.
Quaang!
“Huh…
Kim Seon-woo exhaled briefly.
In an instant, Park In-hwan was left alone.
11 people were killed in less than 10 seconds.
“You crazy bastard…!”
Park In-hwan felt the seriousness of the situation and spat out curse words.
This is what I feel every time I deal with Kim Seon-woo, but he has too much power to be called a student.
Kim Seon-woo patted his hand and looked at Park In-hwan. At the same time, Park In-hwan felt the fear that his heart would stop.
It was because it reminded me of the many experiences I had with him last year.
Kim Seon-woo stared at him and said with a bloody smile.
“My relationship with you is very tough. How do you face each test like this? But I thought you would be expelled last year, but you didn’t manage to get expelled?”
Last year’s second semester final exam.
Park In-hwan committed cheating while dealing with Kim Seon-woo and
faced the risk of expulsion.
The memory of that day still haunts him in his dreams.
Seonwoo Kim continued.
“It sounds like you are having a hard time volunteering in the suburbs. ah! I heard that you and I got penalty points and our ranking dropped. Did it fall from 6th to 18th?”
“…shut up.”
Park In-hwan clenched his fists at Kim Seon-woo’s gentle scratching words. Kim Seon-woo smiled and raised his mana.
At the same time, the new model of Kim Seon-woo disappeared.
Park In-hwan, noticing that Seon-woo Kim was rushing forward, opened the magic curtain wide.
It was an instinct created by many experiences with Kim Seon-woo.
but.
“……Cheuk!”
Kim Seon-woo’s movements were faster than that.
Even before Park In-hwan opened the curtain, Kim Seon-woo released a magic sphere into Park In-hwan’s stomach. It was a completely different pace from last year’s Kim Seon-woo.
Park In-hwan could not even resist properly and disappeared.
After the battle, Kim Seon-woo took a deep breath and smiled a little.
I was able to kill 12 enemies more easily than I thought thanks to the 30% stat increase effect of Unreal Blessing.
In this state, if you use the fighting spirit and Mother Nature’s heart…
Just imagining it made me feel thrilled.
“…how much time is left until the location is revealed.”
Seonwoo Kim checked the time. About 15 minutes remain until the location of the wicked is revealed.
“Kim Choong-beom.”
Yang Choong-beom, who had been watching the battle with a blank face at Kim Seon-woo’s call, shook his shoulders.
“Uh huh?”
Kim Seon-woo pointed to the sky with his finger.
“Fire one more firecracker magic.”
Voices of admiration continued to be heard in Group B’s observation room where the ‘Jungle Destruction’ test was held.
It was because Kim Seon-woo, who was expected to struggle with a whopping 68 votes, was cleverly handling the situation.
“and. I never thought you would break the curse like that.”
Lily admired seeing Kim Seon-woo facing 10 enemies on the other side of the screen. It was because
he never thought that he would draw the attention of students in the same place and
attract enemies.
It was a trick that minimized the penalty of the jungle curse and location disclosure obtained by the wicked vote.
And with the continued attention of firecrackers, Kim Seon-woo has already killed 22 enemies.
Currently, his earned points are 1740.
He is the unrivaled first place.
All observers inside the stadium were already paying attention to Kim Seon-woo.
“…But the problem starts now.”
Daria, sitting next to Lily, murmured.
30 minutes before the start of the game.
This is because the real-time location disclosure of the penalty for wicked voting is scheduled to begin soon.
[29 minutes 51 seconds]
[55… 56… 57… 58… 5 9…]
As the count went up, people
looked at the screen with tense faces.
[It’s been 30 minutes!]
[The location of ‘Kim Seon-woo’, who got the most votes, will be revealed in real time for 10 minutes!]
When 30 minutes came, the students on the other side of the screen checked their smart student notebooks and started running somewhere.
The number of survivors remaining is 42.
All of them moved as if preplanned.
Seeing this, Lily was possessed with a blank laugh
.
“…Did you say that the exam rules were released a week in advance?”
At Lily’s question, Seoyoon Choi, who was sitting next to her, nodded.
“I remember that you announced your 3rd grade in advance.”
“okay? It looks like they made it up in advance.”
Lily looked back at the students running across the screen.
“…What is Kim Seon-woo’s raid?”
The direction they were running was where ‘Kim Seon-woo’ was.
“No, what is this…
30 minutes before the exam starts.
Looking at the surrounding scenery from the top of the tree, I felt absurd.
When my location was revealed, over 40 students were running toward me all at once.
If they run into each other, they would fight each other, but they don’t fight and run together
.
As if we were a team.
“No, is this a private exhibition?”
Even if my location was revealed, I couldn’t imagine that the ‘whole’ would run as one team like this, so I laughed out loud.
It looks like they’re determined to get rid of me first.
“…I should have been suspicious from the moment we stared at each other in the waiting room.”
Chet.
Things take a turn for the worst.
If he hadn’t killed over 20 enemies with Kim Chung-beom’s magic in advance, he would have faced over 60 enemies.
Well, even though 40 or 60 is an overwhelming number to handle alone…
I calmly ran a simulation in my head.
Can you face more than 40 enemies alone?
“…I wonder if Mana can last.”
There is no problem dealing with it. However
, mana is also an issue.
And as time passed, they arrived at the place where I was.
They couldn’t find me because I hid my presence with stealthy steps on top of the tree.
“…is this right? Why can’t you see’?”
“Is this displaying the location correctly? Is it broken?”
At that time, one approached Kim Chung-beom and asked.
“Were you here first? Didn’t you see Seonwoo Kim?”
“huh? Uh… I didn’t see it from the beginning.” Kim Choong-beom blurted out his words.
I thought he might be betraying me,
but surprisingly, he seems to be loyal.
“Hmm. what? It’s definitely right here.”
“Kim Seon-woo is good at hiding his presence.
It’s probably hiding here somewhere.”
Then a student
looked up at the tree where I was.
“Let’s check from the top of the tree.”
Chet.
At those words, I gathered my magic power.
Since they’ve already been caught, I have to attack first.
I pulled out my best mana.
As the numbers are greatly pushed back, you have to take down as many guys as possible with your first attack.
“……Whoa.”
A whirling sphere was implemented on my hand.
At the same time, the guys who felt my magic raised their heads above the trees.
“…a tree!”
I immediately jumped to the floor and
released the compressed sphere of wind property.
Paang one!
The spheres of wind attribute were shot toward the ground and spread widely, creating a storm-like wind.
Except for the heavy rain of magic, it was the only wide-area magic I could do.
Wheein!
Wow!
“Quaaaaagh!”
A whirlwind swept over the students on the ground. At the same time, the screams of countless people rang in my ears.
The blades pouring from the sphere cut through many enemies.
“Keugh! Attack!”
They raised their magic as a group and implemented their own magic.
Reinforcement system, expression system, auxiliary system, summoning system.
The types are very diverse.
Then a chain of flames
rose from the ground towards me.
An auxiliary magician mixed in among them cast a binding spell.
I unleashed a magic orb on the chain to negate the attack.
Next, the manifestation world wizards tried to shoot magic at me.
Sensing this, I immediately ran between them.
Once inside, they couldn’t easily attack me.
If you don’t, there’s a chance you’ll attack the team.
This is exactly what I was aiming for.
Offense is the best defense.
I stirred between the guys and reduced the number one by one.
He did not forget to aim for vital points in order to save mana.
Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!
“Keah!”
He killed five enemies in an instant, but the number showed no signs of diminishing.
Six, seven, eight, nine….
As I was defeating the enemies one by one, a giant magic that came from behind shot me.
I jumped quickly and stepped back.
Quaaang——
“…Whoa. There is no end.”
Stepping back, I caught my breath and looked at them.
The guys
were also looking at me with nervous faces.
“…Crazy monster bastard.”
“No, what’s so fast?”
“You can win this right?”
That time when we confronted each other while looking at each other with a wary gaze.
Whoops!
A magic circle was realized under my feet along with strong magic power.
At the same time, my feet were hard as stone. It was bound by the magic of restraint.
“…that’s okay! succeded!”
One wizard who used binding magic shouted as if he had succeeded.
He was a secondary magician who ranked 8th in the 3rd year.
Was your name Jeong Min-woo?
I remember him because he was a high-ranking assistant prospect.
Then the other guys lifted their bent backs and made puzzled faces.
“…ok? What is it? Did you really catch it?”
“Wow. Awesome!”
In an instant, the atmosphere became festive.
Someone hugs each other and rejoices.
After looking at them with a sense of absurdity for a moment, he turned his gaze to the magic circle on the floor.
Then he placed his hand on the floor and injected mana.
Whoops!
Flash!
In less than two seconds, the binding magic disappeared
.
Everyone, including Jung Min-woo, blinked and looked at me.
“…That’s not it.”
Regressed extras become geniuses
