Without panic, I quickly gathered mana and strengthened my body. Then, calmly implementing a small amount of magic, I dealt with the monsters approaching me one by one.
Quaang! Quaang!
The monsters were grade D, so there was no big problem in dealing with them
.
Of course, he didn’t forget to distribute the mana well because he couldn’t use the mana elixir carelessly here.
Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!
— Come on!
The monsters fell in front of me one by one. However
, it was quite overwhelming to handle all the monsters that
were pushed out endlessly .
Due to the nature of my magic, there were many disadvantages in battles with many that required a lot of mana.
In the end, in order to save mana, the battle proceeded with a mix of close combat.
…I wonder if 10 minutes have passed like that.
[The event ‘Placement Test’ has ended.]
With the sudden sound of the tower’s will, all the monsters in this space turned to dust and disappeared.
[Announcement of rankings.]
[1st place Yuara （Kills: 102）]
[2nd place Lee Seo-jun （Kills: 85）]
[3rd place Lilly Rose （Kills: 74）]
[43rd place. Seonwoo Kim （Kills: 32）]
A long leaderboard appears before your eyes.
I stared blankly at it.
As expected, Yuara, who specializes in wide-area battles, took first place by killing 20 more monsters than Lee Seo-jun.
Lily Rose is third.
All of them had the same flow as the original.
And my ranking is… 43rd.
“43rd place…
It was a bit disappointing, but considering the total number of people was 300,
it wasn’t such a bad ranking.
43rd out of 300.
It was because it was a high enough grade to be called.
And although the event just now was unfavorable to me, there were definitely events that were favorable to me among the upcoming events.
You can wait for the situation and aim for that time.
Then the tower’s will was heard again.
[‘Kim Seon-woo’ is ranked 43rd
.]
[You defeated 32 monsters, so you get 320 points.] [
You get an additional 120 points as a ranking bonus.]
[Move to the 8th floor.]
A light flashed.
Meanwhile, Lily-Rose
arrived on the 15th floor of the tower as a result of this first event, the ‘placement test’.
I looked around and found myself in a green, tree-lined space. It was like looking at a forest. I looked up at the sky and saw the dazzling sun rising.
I felt strange for a moment that the sun was rising inside the tower, but I was already familiar with the numerous ‘mysterious powers’ of the tower.
I was amazed at the sudden change in the new landscape, but I hardened my expression as I remembered the leaderboard I had just seen.
“Am I number three?”
Lily muttered in disbelief.
Of course, I did think that I could be pushed by Lee Seo-joon in the first event. However, I had always expected second place, but I did not even think that I would receive third place.
I never thought that someone other than Lee Seo-joon would take the 1st place.
“…a toddler.”
Wasn’t it a section chief to be called the greatest genius along with Lee Seo-joon?
It is an unexpected ambush.
“Sheesh.”
It was a bit regrettable, but in fact, the outcome of the first event was not important to her.
Because she had no intention of challenging the 30th floor.
In the first 50 years, only one person has reached 30th grade in this test.
That’s why she never thought that others would challenge the 30th floor.
“Anyway, I have to earn points gradually.”
After all, there is nothing like looting to earn points.
But it is not yet time.
Day 2 of the exam.
The moment when other students’ points are gradually accumulating.
Because aiming for that time is the safest and most efficient way.
“Let’s start hunting.”
Also, that would be best.
Lily took out her smart student notebook and checked the map of the tower.
The huge monster area
closest to the 15th floor here …
“I found it.”
14 ‘rock fields’.
Through the placement test, the 15th floor was drilled in advance, so if you use a portal somewhere in the tower, you can move to the 14th floor without a separate test.
“Then let’s go to the portal.”
Lily checked the map of the tower and moved on.
Now, about 4 hours have passed since the test started.
I reached the 14th floor.
I started on the 8th floor due to the placement test, so in 4 hours I went up 6 floors.
In fact, there was another reason why I wanted to upload it quickly from the appendix.
This is because if you drill a floor in advance, the range of choices when using the ‘portal’ to move the floor of the tower is widened.
Considering future events and incidents, there were several advantages to clearing as many towers as possible
.
“Ahhh… I’m tired.”
I yawned and looked at my smart student notebook.
The time is already 12:10 am.
It was past midnight.
I feel like I’m going to have to sleep soon…
but I’m worried that other students will rob me if I sleep anywhere.
The safest way is to go to the ‘intermediate safe zone’ on the 10th floor where fighting is prohibited, but the 10th floor requires
300 points to enter.
Spending 300 points for sleep in this place where rankings change drastically by 100 points would be a very inefficient act.
“It would be nice to be there too.”
There was a small cave I had seen while passing by this place earlier.
If it was there, wouldn’t it be safe to sleep unnoticed by others?
As I walked all the way to the 14th floor, I felt a small presence among the grass in the distance.
There was tension in the body.
I thought that the opponent in front of me might attack to plunder me.
A mysterious figure gradually approached me. Soon, he broke through the grass, revealing the succulents in front of me.
“Kim Seon-woo?”
A blonde woman calling my name.
It was Lily Rose.
When Lily-Rose appeared, I gathered my magic to prepare for an unexpected situation.
Lily-Rose was, according to the original story, a potential ‘red player’ for this test.
They might suddenly attack me, so I had to prepare for the situation.
But Lily-Rose welcomed me, waving a huge chunk of meat in one hand.
“Yeah. Are there any coincidences like this? I was bored at the time, but it turned out well.”
Lily-Rose approached me pretending to be friendly.
I stared at her, wondering why he was doing this all of a sudden. Of course, the string of tension did not let go.
“Are you nervous that I might plunder you? Kww. don’t worry. I have no intention of doing that right now.”
Lily-Rose said with a grin. It was a nuance as if he would show mercy even though he could loot you as soon as he put his mind to it.
It’s a bit absurd, but since it’s such a character,
I passed on it.
“why.”
“No, just. It’s nice to see you for the first time after entering the tower.”
Then straighten your back and turn on the stretch.
“It’s almost time to sleep. Have you thought about where to sleep?”
“What roughly.”
“okay? Oh, did you say that the theory was perfect? I’m pretty sure this is the case because I’m smart. Then would you like to cooperate with me for a while?”
Cooperation? I tilted my head
at her unexpected suggestion .
“What cooperation?”
“I will share this meat with you, so give me a place to sleep. I decided to do the night watch in turns. how is it?”
U 99
food and night watch. Not a bad suggestion. There was also no food prepared.
And since Lily-Rose’s skills are unmistakable, she should be able to trust and entrust her with night watch.
My only concern is that he will betray me and try to plunder me
. But I decided not to worry about this.
If he had any intention of plundering me, he would have attacked me long ago.
“Ok, fine.”
At my words, Lily-Rose smiled brightly.
“It’s good to have a good conversation.”
That’s how the sudden collaboration with Lily Rose began.
When we guided them to the cave we had seen earlier, Lily put on a satisfied expression.
“oh. I managed to find out about this place.”
“Let’s go to sleep. Who gets your heart fluttering first?”
“uh? Aren’t you going to eat meat?”
“It is late. You should eat it tomorrow.”
The time now is 12:15.
A late-night snack would be nice, but I couldn’t afford it because of my busy schedule.
Lily-Rose nodded at my answer.
“okay. Then, the night watch… I’ll stand first. Doesn’t it matter?”
“doesn’t care. Then should I sleep first?”
“Ugh. Trust me and sleep comfortably. Wake me up in four
hours?”
“okay.”
I immediately lay down on the floor. The ground was a bit hard and I felt uncomfortable. It got a little better when I gathered the surrounding leaves.
fall asleep right away
I need to stock up on stamina for tomorrow’s event.
the next morning.
I woke up from my bed with a blank face.
When I turned my head and looked in the direction of the entrance of the cave, it was a bright morning. Across from me, I saw Lily sleeping with her back against the wall.
“……what.”
I blinked and looked at her.
There was a moment of confusion in my head.
Originally, he should have woken me up in the middle of the night, but I don’t remember him waking me up.
Obviously, I was going to do it in turns.
Could it be that you keep vigil instead of me?
“It can’t be.”
Seeing her uncomfortably sleeping with her back against the wall, I wonder how many minutes she will sleep during her vigil. He fell asleep while doing it.
Even without looking at it, I was dumbfounded because I pictured the situation roughly in my head.
“Tsk.”
He is also very comfortable in the world.
It was fortunate that they were not attacked, but otherwise they would be in great danger.
Then Lily’s eyes slowly began to open.
“……hmm?”
As soon as Lily woke up, she looked at me blankly. Then, as if thinking of something, he let out an awkward smile.
“Did this happen?”
“You look so tired, so I stood up for you. haha. You don’t have to thank
me.”
Now he shamelessly tells lies.
It’s a little absurd, but it’s nothing special, so I’ll just move on.
And since I slept that much, it was a win-win situation as a result.
I got up and tidied up my surroundings.
Lily, who was looking at me, said to me while picking up a large piece of meat next to me.
“You don’t eat breakfast?”
“You should eat.”
“I’m hungry, let’s eat now. Are you going to bake it?”
“Of course you have to bake it. I’m baking it.”
At my answer, Lily snapped her fingers and burned the firewood with flame magic.
“Oh…
Lily smiled as I gave a small admiration.
“What are you admiring? You will be surprised when you see my skills.”
After a short time, we started eating.
The taste of the meat was not bad. Rather, it felt like it melted in my mouth when I ate it while hungry. Lily asked me a question in between meals.
“But what are you planning to do today?”
“I need to earn points.”
“To hunt monsters?”
“you do not have to know.”
“…That’s cheap.”
Lily frowned at my insincere reply,
showing a look of discomfort.
Either way, after finishing my meal, I got up from my seat.
“I’ll go soon.”
” already?”
Lily looked up at me and said.
“Oh, you are busy today too. There would be no time for this.”
“…not really.”
I nodded at Lily’s words and said as if tossing it.
“Then see you again soon.”
At my words, Lily smiled.
“See you again soon. The next time we meet, they will be enemies. Are you okay?”
Dut Lily, who was trying to scare me, said in a sinister voice.
I smiled lightly at her.
The meaning of what I said to her is to see you again soon.
Of course, that meant seeing it as an enemy.
At 6:00 PM, about 18 hours left until the end of the exam.
Lily was in the middle of the 4th event in the forest area on the 18th floor.
The name of the event is ‘Hidden Treasure Hunt’.
It was literally an event to get points by finding treasures hidden in each field.
In the case of the hidden treasure hunt event, it was quite difficult to find the hidden treasure in the various illusions and barriers created on all floors.
“I found it.”
However, Lily was finding jewels at a fairly fast pace in that poor environment.
It was possible because the training to adapt to such a special environment had been done separately through family education.
“Wow. It’s pretty.”
Lily peered at the shiny purple jewel.
12 of these
It’s been almost an hour since the event started, so it’s like finding one every five minutes.
That’s it, first place is guaranteed, thought Lily with a smile.
“How many minutes do you have left?”
Lily checked her smart student notebook.
