17. king game

“Oh, there are four teams, right?”

Prof. Amanda seemed a little embarrassed, perhaps because she didn’t know that there would be so many applications, but she called the representatives forward.

Even though Rin and Tana were like that, I wondered why Sen and Mei wanted me, but neither of them seemed to have any intention of backing down.

‘For now, you should avoid being on the same team as Lin.’

Recently, while contemplating Rin’s becoming the master of the military, the conclusion she came to was to give her a situation similar to her previous life as much as possible.

I needed to know for sure why it had changed.

So, while maintaining a situation similar to the previous life as much as possible, we need a certain distance.

If she became the owner of the army by her own will or gained similar powers, I would dare to cut her throat.

‘That’s why I said to cut ties on purpose.’

During her academy life, something different might happen if I were there, but if I wasn’t in the academy, I couldn’t keep an eye on her.

In this contradictory situation, the last thing I chose was to cut ties with the two childhood friends.

While living at the academy, I didn’t think it would change as drastically as just adding one more person.

“…….”

Rin had been staring at me from before.

Like a hunting dog that never let go of a bite, her gaze was burdensome, so I unknowingly avoided it.

“Can I choose a team?”

When I raised my hand and asked, Professor Amanda asked back with a puzzled expression.

“Can you?”

“……”

Unlike her mature appearance, this woman has a tendency to secretly like teasing people.

“Hey, since we don’t have much time, shall we simply decide with rock-paper-scissors?”

it’s a real bitch

Sen held out his hand saying it would be fun and prepared that it didn’t matter to Mei and Tana, but Rin was different.

“Professor, can’t we just take Daniel away with a little more deduction?”

Other students start to murmur at Lin’s bombshell remarks. Team 2 she is a part of tells Lynn what that means, but she doesn’t even look at her team and looks at Amanda.

Unlike the other students who were pushed by Lin’s momentum, Amanda shook her head.

“Of course not. Especially not talking to team members and acting self-righteous like this.”

“……”

Rin bit her lip and held out her hand.

Breathing a sigh of relief, I fixed my gaze on the rock-paper-scissors played by the four girls.

“ah……”

Mei, who overcame everyone in one shot with a pair of scissors, blankly looked at her hand and reacted strangely.

Sen and Tana turned around without any regrets, but Rin continued to look at me and went back to her team with her fists clenched.

“Then Daniel goes into the 16th team. The opponent will also draw a lottery, so come out with people to draw.”

This time, I wanted May to leave the 16th team, but another kid wearing glasses said he wanted to pick it up and left.

While receiving strange stares from my teammates, I approached May.

“hey.”

“Uh, yes?”

“yes?”

Suddenly, I wanted to say something respectful, but the students around me seemed to have heard May’s voice. She blushes, but quickly clears up her voice and asks.

“Um, why…”

“Why am I going to say that? Why did you choose me?”

“Well, it’s just… yo.”

why is he doing this

When she frowned and pressured her to say the right thing, she almost cried, bowed her head down, and continued with her shoes.

“I met Elysee in the 1st and 1st exams and I failed right away… So I need a score.”

“ah.”

“Uh, yesterday me and my aunt…”

I keep my mouth shut so I can’t say any more. In a nutshell, as I have already experienced my skills myself, when she saw me, I thought that I was essential for this additional exam.

‘I judged more rationally than I thought.’

Even though something like that happened just yesterday, you chose me for your grades. So, even after pulling it out, I had no choice but to put on a face like that.

‘Well, rather good.’

If yesterday’s enemy becomes today’s friend, that’s only when the enemy succumbs to me, and that’s the situation right now.

May and her aunt, the dean, now have cards that I can use at the academy, so it could be inconvenient for Mei to be under grades in many ways.

“Well, I also need scores, so I will definitely win this test.”

It’s not a tournament format, it’s just a team-team confrontation, so the points you can get are limited, but that’s somewhere.

Mei nodded as if she was a little relieved by my words. It’s strange again that the kid who was laughing so hard until yesterday is so stunned.

Already, our teammates were whispering that something was wrong with Mei.

The lottery had already started, so when I turned my eyes to that side, the expression on the face of the male student who went to draw our side was not unusual.

A lottery format in which teams with the same ribbon color compete against each other.

Our male student was holding a yellow ribbon, and the team holding a yellow ribbon as well.

“Then Team 1 and Team 16 are Dalian. I’ll give each team about 30 minutes, so familiarize yourself with the rules and practice teamwork.”

Professor Amanda, speaking casually.

One team was a team with Ares, Hayoon, and Eve whose power balance had collapsed.

“Hey, you Sheki!”

Mei, who had been like a crouching hamster until just now, screamed and rushed at the boy.

‘Yeah, my personality doesn’t go anywhere.’

There was an incident where Mei grabbed the boy’s hair and shook it around, but our team went right into the corner and started the strategy meeting anyway.

“I lost.”

No, it was not a strategy meeting, but a complaint.

As the slightly chubby male student sighed and said, other students lowered their heads to see if they had the same thought.

“What are you losing! I haven’t even started yet!”

May speaks confidently, but she can’t refute it more strongly, as she thought the same thing.

‘Hmm.’

I don’t bother to intervene in the conversation, I just silently check the students. None of the students were known by name as far as I knew, but that didn’t mean they were all lacking.

‘They all have similar skills, but there is no student who stands out.’

On average, our team could have had an advantage. If the team members came out one by one and competed in a 1:1 format, our side’s victory was certain.

No matter how strong Ares and Hayun are, they can only get 2 points.

But, of course, this was not the case with this team.

king game.

The game ends when the student in charge of the king wears a band on his wrist, and the opposing team takes it away.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that there was no need to deal with the enemy.

“Maybe Ares or Hayun will be the king?”

The male student who drew the lottery said while stroking his head that had just been grabbed, and the team became depressed again.

“Are you planning on staying there just sighing like this?”

Eventually, frustrated, I intervened.

“You have to think about winning, but if you don’t fight and grumble that you lost, the professors will say that your objectivity is really good and give you a score?”

“You came and got a score penalty, but what did you say?”

“Right, why did you bring him?”

I couldn’t curse May because of my notice, but anyway, the students subtly put pressure on me and Mei.

“You mean you don’t intend to win?”

“How can I win!”

Starting from the screaming female student, other students also began to criticize me. Even the complaints that they lost anyway, and the self-consolation that there was no need to heat up with an additional test.

He sighed and said, thinking that he was causing a lot of chaos.

“Then the king is Mei. The two of us are going to fight, so buy some popcorn and watch, you idiots.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, May, who didn’t know how to call herself, looked at me in embarrassment, but the other students started spitting curse words at me.

“Gee, are you really going to do this?”

“uh.”

empty playground.

The students of Team 1, standing on the opposite side, were chatting among themselves while warming up leisurely without paying attention to us.

I saw Eve as well, but to my surprise, Ares and Hayoon were mingling with each other and talking to each other.

‘The king is Ares.’

Carefully looking at the blue band around Ares’ wrist, he pulls out the wooden sword he brought.

“Hmm, it’s lighter than I thought.”

It felt too light compared to the swords I had handled before, but since it was a wooden sword for sparring, I didn’t expect much.

The students on my team were still grumbling among themselves, glancing at me.

The test has already been abandoned.

I wouldn’t have known if it was the main test, but since it was the second test, which was an additional test, I didn’t seem to care too much.

“Whoa.”

Mei, who is standing right next to me, catches her breath and swings her wooden sword around. It’s a mess from the posture.

“What are you doing?”

When I ask while looking at her pathetically, she hides the wooden sword behind her back and makes excuses, perhaps because she was embarrassed.

“Woah, originally, magic is the main focus, but this test is forbidden for wizards…”

“Put down the wooden sword. Don’t try to do anything in this test.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll take care of everything and take it all away, so stay still.”

“……”

“And if you’re going to speak rudely, speak rudely, and if you’re going to be polite, speak respectfully. Don’t mix them up annoyingly.”

“Yes… oh no! yes!”

Did you choose half?

Well, this guy’s pride won’t allow respectful words.

“Yeah, but can you really protect it by yourself? Shall I say something to the kids?”

“Okay, they don’t even get one point this time.”

Even though there is someone who can feed them right in front of their mouths, what will they give to those who have already given up without trusting them?

Professors from all five classes are taking this test, so if you have brains, you won’t give points to those who have already given up.

“I’d rather be alone.”

Yes, it would have been more comfortable if there was nothing bothering me next to me.

A Sherpa who roams the Forest of Demons.

As I said before, I also got out of the mask of being a human and became a beast and wandered around there, but of course, when they invaded their territory or were hungry, they attacked anyone.

I was the one who led the people in such a place and helped them get the materials they needed for witchcraft and gather herbs.

So, what will happen if a demonic beast attacks you while you are leading people through the Demon Realm Forest?

Never let customers fight or get hurt.

You’d be surprised to know how many people I’ve saved from the fangs of the Demon Forest over the years I’ve been a Sherpa.

“But now you only protect one person from the little ones.”

To be honest.

It was the most difficult to hide the laughter that kept leaking out because it was ridiculous.
